AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX 722 PM CDT THU JUN 19 2008 .UPDATE... UPDATED THE FORECAST FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 582 && .DISCUSSION... LINE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS NORTH AND EAST OF LUBBOCK IS PROPOGATING SOUTH...BUT HAS THROWN OUT AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY WHICH IS MOVING SOUTH TOWARDS THE NORTHERN PERMIAN BASIN. CINH IS WEAKEST IN THE NORTHEASTERN CWA WHICH IS THE MOST LIKELY PLACE TO SEE THUNDERSTORMS EITHER DEVELOP ALONG THE BOUNDARY...OR MOVE INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTH. STRONG WINDS AND HAIL ARE THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS WITH THESE STORMS THOUGH ANYTHING DEVELOPING ALONG THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY WILL HAVE TO BE CLOSELY MONITORED FOR ISOLATED BRIEF TORNADO DEVELOPMENT. HENNIG && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 623 PM CDT THU JUN 19 2008/ AVIATION... CONVECTION OCCURRING BOTH IN AND AROUND THE FORECAST AREA...HOWEVER NOT DIRECTLY AFFECTING TERMINALS AT THIS TIME. MOST LIKELY LOCATIONS TO SEE ANY TSRA IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS WILL BE KCNM AND KHOB...HOWEVER CONFIDENCE NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO PLACE IN TAFS AS ACTIVITY ACROSS SE NM STILL ISOLATED AT THIS TIME. LARGE COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE PANHANDLE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE SOUTH AND POSSIBLY CLIP INTO EASTERN PERIPHERY OF FORECAST AREA. EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY TO STAY EAST OF THE KMAF AREA TONIGHT...SO AGAIN...DID NOT PUT TSRA EXPECTATIONS IN TAFS FOR NOW. OTHERWISE...EXPECT A FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO DROP INTO THE AREA OVERNIGHT PROVIDING A NORTHEASTERLY WINDS SHIFT IN THE 20/08Z TO 20/10Z TIMEFRAME. EXPECT A FEW GUSTS TO NEAR 25 KT ALONG THIS BOUNDARY. ONCE IT MOVES THROUGH...EXPECT WINDS TO SHIFT BACK AROUND TO A MORE SOUTHEASTERLY DIRECTION LATE TOMORROW EVENING. /13/ PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 301 PM CDT THU JUN 19 2008/ DISCUSSION... FORECAST CONCERNS WILL CONTINUE TO BE CENTERED ON PRECIPITATION CHANCES FOR THE UPCOMING FORECAST. THE SHORT RANGE MODELS ALONG WITH THE 00Z ECMWF ALL SHOW A WEAK MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL MOVE FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS WEST TEXAS AND SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. YESTERDAY/S 12Z NAM/WRF12 WAS GENEROUS IN IT/S QPF OUTPUT...WHEREAS TODAY/S RUN HAS BACKED OFF ON QPF. THE NAM/WRF HAS TYPICALLY BEEN DOING BETTER WITH RECENT PRECIPITATION... SO WE HAVE TAKEN THE LATEST RUN INTO CONSIDERATION. WHILE WE HAVE MADE A SLIGHT DECREASE IN RAIN CHANCES FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...PREFER TO KEEP AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE TO LOW END CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL THE MAIN CONCERN. WE WILL ALSO KEEP A MENTION OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ALONG AND NORTH OF A TATUM NEW MEXICO TO BIG SPRING LINE DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS TO ACCOUNT FOR ANY MCS ACTIVITY. MCS ACTIVITY COULD CONTINUE ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH THIS WEEKEND AS THE MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE SUGGESTS NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WITH EMBEDDED MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGHS AFFECTING THE REGION. IN THIS PATTERN... AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE FAVORED ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN...WITH LATE EVENING AND EARLY MORNING PRECIPITATION FAVORED ACROSS THE NORTHERN PERMIAN BASIN AND WESTERN LOW ROLLING PLAINS. WE HAVE KEPT A SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST THROUGH THE WEEKEND. WE WILL ALSO KEEP TEMPERATURES AT OR JUST ABOVE NORMAL GIVEN EAST TO SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW AT 850MB BRINGING SLIGHTLY COOLER AND MORE MOIST AIR INTO WEST TEXAS AND SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO. PRECIPITATION CHANCES INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK REMAIN UNCLEAR...BUT IF THE LATEST GFS VERIFIES...WE MAY NEED TO INCREASE SOME RAIN CHANCES FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK. && .MAF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
