AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX 301 PM CDT WED JUN 19 2013 .DISCUSSION... THE SUBTROPICAL UPPER RIDGE THAT HAS BEEN CENTERED OVER MEXICO THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS HAS BEEN EDGING NORTHWARD TOWARD WEST TEXAS TODAY WHILE AN UPPER LOW DIGS INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. AT THE SURFACE...STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW PERSISTS AS LEE TROUGHING ENHANCES TO THE NORTH. SKIES HAVE BEEN MOSTLY CLEAR THROUGH THE MORNING AND MID AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES HAVE WARMED TO LOW 90S. SEVERAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE IN THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING OVER THE DAVIS AND GUADALUPE MOUNTAIN REGIONS THIS AFTERNOON AND ARE EXPECTED TO MIGRATE OUT INTO THE PLAINS OF SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO AND PORTIONS OF WEST TEXAS THROUGH THIS EVENING. MEANWHILE...AN EARLY MORNING MCS THAT MOVED THROUGH THE TEXAS PANHANDLE HAS SENT AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY SOUTHWEST TOWARD THE PERMIAN BASIN...AS NOTED ON RADAR. THIS BOUNDARY WILL LIKELY GENERATE SOME SEVERE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ACROSS THE NORTHERN PERMIAN BASIN AND SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO AND A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS NOW IN EFFECT FOR THESE AREAS. THE MAIN THREATS WILL BE LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND HEAVY RAINFALL. WILL MAKE NOTE OF THIS IN THE HWO. ANY CONVECTION MOVING OFF THE MOUNTAINS OF SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO INTERACT WITH THIS BOUNDARY AND COULD RESULT IN AN ISOLATED SHORT- LIVED TORNADO. THE UPPER RIDGE WILL SHIFT SLIGHTLY EASTWARD THURSDAY AND FRIDAY BUT MAINTAIN ITS INFLUENCE OVER MOST OF THE REGION. SURFACE LEE TROUGHING WILL EXTEND SOUTHWARD INTO EASTERN NEW MEXICO AND WEST TEXAS...KEEP STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW AND AMPLE MOISTURE IN PLACE THROUGH THE WEEKEND. SURFACE HEATING NEAR THE TROUGH AXIS MAY HELP TO GENERATE SOME AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN REGIONS AS WELL AS THE SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO PLAINS THROUGH SUNDAY. CONFIDENCE IS CURRENTLY LOW HOWEVER IF WE CAN GET A WEAKNESS IN THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE UPPER RIDGE DURING PEAK HEATING...COINCIDENT WITH A MID LEVEL THETA E AXIS...THEN ITS DEFINITELY POSSIBLE FOR THE ABOVE MENTIONED LOCATIONS. OTHERWISE...RAIN CHANCES WILL REMAIN NIL FOR MOST LOCATIONS THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN IN THE MID TO UPPER 90S WITH HIGHER READINGS IN THE PECOS AND RIO GRANDE VALLEYS. LOWS WILL BE IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOW 70S. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
