NWS Lubbock, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 7, 4:01 PM CST, 28 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LUBBOCK TX 501 PM CDT MON JUN 7 2010 .DISCUSSION... MINOR UPDATE TO INCREASE POPS ACROSS THE VERY SW ZONES WHERE CONVECTION WAS DEVELOPING IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO A REMNANT MCV IN SE NM. MODERATE TO STRONG INSTABILITY WILL SUPPORT A WIND AND HAIL THREAT WITH THESE PULSE TYPE STORMS. DID ALSO DRAW LOW END MENTIONABLE POPS SLIGHTLY FURTHER EAST INTO THE CENTRAL SOUTH PLAINS FOR POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT ON STORM OUTFLOWS AS DEPICTED IN SOME HIGH RESOLUTION NWP SOLUTIONS. WILL ALSO HAVE TO WATCH FOR ADDITIONAL CI ALONG AN OUTFLOW MOVING SW THROUGH THE EAST-CENTRAL TEXAS PANHANDLE...WHICH WILL IMPINGE UPON THE NE ZONES BY EARLY THIS EVENING. SO FAR...THE CAP HAS HELD ON THIS BOUNDARY. LASTLY...WILL HAVE TO SEE IF ACTIVITY IN NE NM CAN ORGANIZE AND THEN PROPAGATE INTO A STRENGTHENING SOUTHERLY LLJ TONIGHT...THOUGH PROSPECTS OF THIS ARE HIGHLY UNCERTAIN ATTM. NO OTHER CHANGES MADE TO THE GRIDS ATTM. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 336 PM CDT MON JUN 7 2010/ SHORT TERM... PLAYING THE WAITING GAME THIS AFTERNOON TO SEE WHETHER CAPPING INVERSION WINS OUT OR WHETHER LOW LEVEL CONFLUENCE AND MODERATE INSTABILITY IS AIDED BY MODEST MID/UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT FROM REMNANT MCV LOCATED OVER ERN NM. WILL CONTINUE TO SIDE WITH MAJORITY OF MODELS THAT KEEP THE FCST AREA DRY OR WITH A LIMITED AMOUNT OF PRECIP. WILL CARRY PREVIOUS IDEA OF SLIGHT CHC POPS ALONG THE NEW MEXICO STATE LINE NEAR AFOREMENTIONED MCV AND IN VCNTY OF LOW LEVEL THETA-E RIDGE AXIS AS WELL AS ACROSS THE EXTREME SRN PANHANDLE NEAR CONFLUENCE ASSOCIATED WITH REMNANT OF OUTFLOW FROM A MORNING MCS ACROSS THE ERN TX PANHANDLE. MILD TEMPS IN STORE AGAIN TONIGHT AS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE HANGS TOUGH ACROSS THE AREA. TUESDAY SHOULD AGAIN SEE LOW LEVEL THETA-E RIDGE AXIS INTO THE NM BORDER COUNTIES AS WELL AS A SFC TROUGH IN ERN NM. MAY NOT SEE ANOTHER MCV AS CURRENTLY ANTICIPATE LESS CONVECTION OVER NM THAN SEEN LAST NIGHT. ALSO CONCERNED THAT MODELS ARE TOO AGGRESSIVELY DRYING THE DEPTH OF THE TROPOSPHERE OVERNIGHT AND TUESDAY DECREASING INSTABILITY AND STRENGTHENING THE CAP TOO MUCH. OVERALL WHILE THINK TUESDAY WILL LIKELY REMAIN DRY...MAY SEE ENOUGH MOISTURE LINGER TO SEE SOME ISOLATED THUNDER LATE IN THE DAY. WILL FAVOR EXTREME NWRN ZONES ATTM WHERE CHANCES LOOK SLIGHTLY BETTER THAN THE REMAINDER OF THE FCST AREA. LONG TERM... VERY WARM CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL ACROSS THE REGION AS AN UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE CONTINUES TO BUILD EASTWARD OVER WEST TEXAS THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. BASED ON THE LATEST MODEL TRENDS...HAVE NUDGED DAYTIME HIGHS UP SLIGHTLY...BUT THE OVERALL FORECAST OF TEMPERATURES AROUND TEN DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL REMAINS ON TRACK. GENERALLY...HIGHS IN THE UPPER 90S TO AROUND 100 DEGREES CAN BE EXPECTED ACROSS THE AREA WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...WITH A SLIGHT COOLING TREND OCCURRING TOWARD THE WEEKEND. WHILE DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE WORK WEEK...A FEW ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS CANNOT BE RULED OUT. MODEL GUIDANCE IS SUGGESTING THAT A FEW OF THE THUNDERSTORMS PROGGED TO DEVELOP OFF OF THE HIGH TERRAIN IN NM/CO MAY DRIFT INTO THE SOUTHWESTERN PANHANDLE/WESTERN SOUTH PLAINS...PARTICULARLY ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THUS...HAVE OPTED TO INCREASE POPS TO MENTIONABLE LEVELS ACROSS THE FAR WESTERN COLUMN OF COUNTIES WEDNESDAY EVENING. A GRADUAL CHANGE IN THE PATTERN IS EXPECTED LATE IN THE WORK WEEK AS THE WINDS ALOFT SHIFT TO A PREVAILING SOUTHWESTERLY DIRECTION. THIS WILL HELP TO ENHANCE THE DRYLINE ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND...WARRANTING A MENTION OF SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR NOW. THERE IS STILL A GREAT DEAL OF UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE POSITION OF THE DRYLINE AS WELL AS THE AMOUNT OF CAPPING PRESENT THAT COULD POTENTIALLY LIMIT STORM DEVELOPMENT ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. THUS...WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE LATEST TRENDS AND WILL ADJUST THE FORECAST AS NECESSARY AS THE WEEKEND APPROACHES. CONFIDENCE IS HIGHER THAT SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE AREA SUNDAY INTO MONDAY AS A COLD FRONT DROPS THROUGH THE AREA. IN ADDITION TO THE PRECIPITATION CHANCES...DAYTIME HIGHS ARE EXPECTED TO DROP BACK INTO THE UPPER 80S/LOWER 90S BY LATE IN THE PERIOD. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
