Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lubbock TX 1226 PM CDT Tue Jul 2 2019 .AVIATION... Afternoon to early evening -SHRA and -TSRA are expected; however, they will be so widely scattered in nature, that TAF mention was not warranted attm. Expect amendments should activity infringe upon a terminal. && PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 300 AM CDT Tue Jul 2 2019/ DISCUSSION... Persistent ridging pattern typical for this time of year will continue to hold off the northern jet stream from making much progress toward our latitude. Disturbances out of the Pacific Northwest will continue to be steered from the Four Corners region north-northeastward around the apex of the ridging across the Southern Plains. H50 flow will be meagher and unorganized leading to a weak signal for POPS through the forecast period, with best chances generally along the TX/NM state line as storms attempt to mover off the higher terrain under height falls aloft and increased surface moisture advecting northwestward from the Gulf of Mexico. The increased moisture will help keep daily high temperatures at or below climatological norms as well, though overnight lows will remain mild. Overall, the riding pattern shows no hints of beginning to breakdown until the middle of next week when flow become more zonal across the contiguous US. && .LUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && 99/99/74
