DRYLINE MOVING E THRU CWFA ALONG A LINE FROM NEAR LAMESA...TO
MIDLAND...TO E OF FST. COLD FRONT JUST N OF CWFA WHERE VISIBLE
SATELLITE INDICATES CU FIELD IS DEVELOPING. CAP STILL REMAINS
FAIRLY STRONG THERE SO MORE WORK WILL BE NEEDED FOR TSTMS TO FORM...
CONVERGENCE ALONG DRYLINE/COLD FRONT/WEAK SFC LOW AND SFC HEATING
MAY BE ENOUGH. BY 00Z NAM12 DEVELOPS PRECIP IN FAR NE WITH
SUFFICIENT SHEAR FOR STORMS. OTHERWISE ACRS LOWER TRANS PECOS E
AND SE OF FST FEW A TSTMS MAY DEVELOP BUT SHOULD BE SHORT-LIVED.
SW MID LEVEL FLOW TO REMAIN IN PLACE TUE WITH SUBTROPICAL RIDGE
CENTERED WELL TO THE S. SW FLOW AS BEEN SOMEWHAT ACTIVE THE LAST
3 DAYS WITH STORMS DEVELOPING INVOF LOWER ELEVATIONS OF TRANS
PECOS WHERE MOST INTENSE SFC HEATING/WARMEST TEMPS HAVE BEEN.
MODELS HAVE BEEN PERSISTENT IN SHOWING A SHRTWV TROF IN SW FLOW
TUE...ALTHOUGH SOME DIFFERENCES IN PLACEMENT OF PRECIP. GOOD DAY
TO DAY AGREEMENT THAT LOW LEVEL MSTR WILL BE FARTHER W. THE
COMBINATION OF SE LOW LEVEL FLOW/MSTR HOLDING NEAR E SLOPES OF
DAVIS MTNS/BBNP...SHRTWV TROF...STRONG SFC HEATING ENUF TO
WARRANT PRECIP TUE. ATTP WILL START TO TREND POPS UP ACRS BIG
BEND REGION INTO LOWER TRANS PECOS. STEERING FLOW WILL BE
FAVORABLE FOR STORMS TO MOVE INTO PB FROM THE SW...ESPECIALLY IF
AIDED BY PRESENCE OF OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES. SFC TEMPS FROM NAM12
CONTINUE TO SUPPORT COOLER TEMPS WITH SOME INDICATION OF RAIN
COOLED AIR. COOLING TREND ALREADY REFLECTED IN GRIDS. SHRTWV TROF
WILL QUICKLY MOVE NEWD ACRS NM WED AND THERE APPEARS TO BE ENUF
MID LEVEL COOLING ASSOCD WITH SHRTWV TROF FOR PRECIP ACRS PB AND
ENUF LOW LEVEL MSTR HOLDS ACRS LOWER TRANS PECOS FOR MORE
SHRA/TSRA THERE...SO WILL EXPAND POPS. EVEN THOUGH 85H TEMPS DO
WARM SOME WED (27C) TRIPLE DIGIT HEAT ACRS MOST AREAS WILL BE
DELAYED WITH EXCEPTION BEING THE UPPER TRANS PECOS/WRN PB. AS
AFOREMENTIONED SHRTWV TROF MOVE E A COLD FRONT WILL DROP S NEARING
THE NE CWFA THUR. OTHERWISE MID LEVEL WILL HAVE VEERED (MORE WLY)
WHICH WILL FAVOR DRY AIR BEING FARTHER E. 7H TEMPS WILL GENERALLY
BE 12-14C AND WITH SOME DOWNSLOPE WINDS HIGH TEMPS N100 ACRS CNTRL
PB LOOK PRETTY GOOD. SUBTROPICAL RIDGE BUILDS NWD SOME FRI AND A
WSW 7H-5H FLOW WILL HELP TO AMPLIFY LOW LEVEL THERMAL RIDGE WITH
GFS/ECMWF SHOWING 85H TEMPS OF 30-32C...WELL INTO TRIPLE DIGIT
HEAT. 5H HGHTS PROGGED TO BUILD SAT/SUN WITH 85H TEMPS 31-33C THRU
