Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 642 AM CDT Sun Jun 14 2026 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 633 AM CDT Sun Jun 14 2026 - Cold front approaches the region on today bringing higher rain chances through Monday. Will be monitoring for heavy rainfall leading to flash flooding. - A few storms may be strong to severe today across southeast New Mexico, Upper Trans Pecos, and the Permian Basin. The main hazards expected are large hail and damaging winds. - The hottest temperatures of the season so far are possible by the middle of next week with many locations experiencing their first 100 degree day. && .SHORT TERM... (Today through Monday afternoon) Issued at 329 AM CDT Sun Jun 14 2026 A line of storms near an approaching cold front to the north will gradually move to the south with the front through this morning. Short range guidance shows this activity mostly dissipating as the front enters our area near or just after sunrise this morning. As daytime heating occurs, the cold front will stall out somewhere north of the Pecos River Valley. As warming occurs, showers and storms will develop generally along or north of the front with a few storms capable of becoming severe. The main hazards with any severe storms will be damaging winds and large hail. Shower and storm coverage increases during the afternoon and into tonight. Given the uncertainty in coverage, rain amounts will vary across the area. Many can expect about a quarter to a half an inch, but amounts up to an inch will be possible. Given recent rainfall, flash flooding will be possible, particularly in areas that have seen rainfall over the last few days. Areas south of the front will warm into the 90s while areas north of the front will be cooler and reach into the 80s. Showers and storms continue into tonight and tomorrow morning with coverage spreading further south. Heading into the day on Monday, scattered showers and storms continue, but begin to lessen in coverage from north to south through the afternoon and into Monday evening. Daytime highs will be much cooler as cloud cover and showers keep highs in the 80s. -Stickney && .LONG TERM... (Monday night through Saturday) Issued at 329 AM CDT Sun Jun 14 2026 Heading into Tuesday, northwest flow aloft takes hold across the region. Temperatures warm into the upper 80s and low 90s areawide. With this much drier pattern, rain chances decrease on Tuesday and drop to near zero for Wednesday and Thursday. Medium range guidance continues to show the middle of the week being the warmest days of the year so far with much of the region reaching into the low 100s. Midland has yet to see its first 100F day yet this year. Beyond Thursday, long range guidance moves temperatures back towards normal and increase rain chances as a weak disturbance moves over the region. Due in part to abundant low level moisture, overnight lows end up near or just above normal in the low to mid 70s for many. -Stickney && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 633 AM CDT Sun Jun 14 2026 Showers and storms have begun to develop across the area and will impact terminals on and off through the day and into this evening. MVFR CIGs and VIS may occur at times due to showers and storms. Behind a passing cold front, winds shift northeasterly and be sustained around 10-15kts. South of the cold front, winds remain southerly. Amendments will be made based on radar trends. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
