Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 903 PM CST Mon Nov 6 2023 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (This afternoon through Tuesday night) Issued at 209 PM CST Mon Nov 6 2023 Weather conditions hold fairly steady over the next 36+ hours under zonal flow aloft. Temperatures have warmed quickly this afternoon, reaching the mid 80s by 2 PM CST. These temperatures hold through the remainder of the afternoon and evening aided by southwest winds and sunny skies. Temperatures cool tonight into the 50s for most despite the warm afternoon thanks to mostly clear skies. Tuesday is going to be nearly a carbon copy of today with sunny skies and southwest winds across much of the region. Temperatures top out in the middle 80s to near 90 for many before cooling back into the 50s overnight. This is hot and dry weather for the month of November but it will not last forever. Stay tuned in the long term! Chehak && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday through Sunday) Issued at 209 PM CST Mon Nov 6 2023 Unseasonable warmth continues on Wednesday as southwest flow remains across the region with highs into the mid to upper 80s for many and low 90s across the Big Bend. An upper level trough dipping across the Southwest US brings moisture across from Mexico and sends a front through the area late Wednesday and into Thursday morning. Rain chances increase for Thursday, but amounts stay under an inch. Cold front makes it to the Pecos River Valley and highs to the north stay in the 50s with 60s to low 70s to the south. Cool and dry conditions prevail Friday and into this weekend as high pressure builds. Highs reach into the upper 50s to low 60s and lows each morning settle into the low to mid 40s. The next system to have any sort of influence on our area looks to move in from the west early next week, but with a lot of uncertainty in long range ensembles/guidance much can change with the forecast. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 902 PM CST Mon Nov 6 2023 VFR conditions will prevail next 24 hours in southwest surface flow, gusty at times Tuesday afternoon.
