The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Midland/Odessa, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Sep 26, 10:50 AM CST, 1 hour 10 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX 1150 AM CDT Fri Sep 26 2014 .DISCUSSION... See 18Z aviation discussion below. && .AVIATION... VFR conditions are expected across southeast New Mexico and southwest Texas through this evening. After 06Z patchy low clouds are possible at MAF, PEQ, FST and INK. Ceilings are not forecast at this time. With better clearing and calm winds further north, could see visibilities dropping below 3 miles at CNM and HOB by daybreak with lighter fog at MAF, INK and PEQ. Winds will generally be south to southeast at 12 knots or less through Saturday morning. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 454 AM CDT Fri Sep 26 2014/ DISCUSSION... See Aviation Discussion below. AVIATION... VFR conditions will prevail next 24 hours. Skies should slowly scatter out over the next 24 hours, as an upper trough over West texas drifts SE. Latest buffer soundings a widespread cu field developing by late morning/early afternoon, w/bases 3-5 kft agl. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 350 AM CDT Fri Sep 26 2014/ DISCUSSION... Stubborn upper low continues to meander across the region this morning. Showers and even a few thunderstorms have been confined mainly to the Davis Mountains and the Big Bend overnight. A mid-level disturbance will help enhance showers and storms this afternoon across the lower Trans Pecos and Big Bend. Only isolated convection is expected over the Permian Basin while western areas get a chance to dry out. Heavy rain will be a possibility today, but should stay over locations that have had little rain over the past week. Similar conditions are expected Saturday before the pattern begins to change. Another upper low will cut off from the flow today over the Great Basin. This system will begin to kick out Sunday and help a weak ridge build into our area early next week. Drier conditions and temperatures near or above normal values are expected in its wake. Models are now in somewhat better agreement that the next trough to dig into the conus late next week will pass to our north with dry NW flow over the area. This system does however look to bring a decent cold front around Thursday with temps falling back to near normal behind it. && .MAF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NM...NONE.
