Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 220 PM CDT Sat Jun 14 2025 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 158 PM CDT Sat Jun 14 2025 - Isolated to scattered afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms will mainly become confined to the Davis Mountains, Marfa Plateau, and Big Bend region today. A storm or two could become strong to severe. - Hot temperatures can be expected this weekend and especially into the early to middle part of next week. Many locations will reach near or above 100 degrees during this time, with a few locations along the Rio Grande potentially reaching up to 108-113 degrees Monday through Wednesday. && .SHORT TERM... (This afternoon through Sunday night) Issued at 158 PM CDT Sat Jun 14 2025 A mid-level ridge continues to gradually strengthen and make its way toward our region from the west, bumping up our temperatures over the next several days. A shortwave impulse rounding the periphery of the ridge combined with moist, upsloping surface winds may trigger some shower/storm activity over portions of southeastern New Mexico Sunday afternoon. Rain chances remain on the low side, around 10- 20%. Otherwise, triple digit heat is on tap Sunday afternoon for much of southeastern New Mexico, the Upper Trans Pecos, portions of the Permian Basin, and areas near and along the Rio Grande. The latter region is where we expect to see our hottest conditions, as highs soar into the 105-110 degree range. Elsewhere, highs top out in the upper 90s. Lows in the 70s dominate most of the region tonight and Sunday night. && .LONG TERM... (Monday through Friday) Issued at 158 PM CDT Sat Jun 14 2025 MAF is currently sitting at 97 degrees with a 64 dewpoint, a pretty impressive temperature for how moist it still is in the boundary layer. This gives more validity to the NBM forecast highs over the next week continuing to climb well over the century mark. The hottest days still appear to be Mon/Tue/Wed when an upper level ridge gets flattened by a passing trough and downsloping westerly winds bring in hot air from the Desert Southwest. The ridge rebuilds late next week with the center of the high pressure located over the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles. Easterly winds on the southern periphery of the high should advect in cooler air from the gulf and possibly prevent a return of the century heat, though temps should remain above normal. No rainfall is expected in the extended forecast. Hennig && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1208 PM CDT Sat Jun 14 2025 VFR conditions are expected for most through the period. Isolated shower/storm activity looks to develop near the higher terrain later this afternoon and into the evening. Otherwise, winds will primarily be out of the south and southeast, remaining gusty on occasion. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
