.DISCUSSION...
WILL START THE DAY WITH AN UPPER RIDGE CENTERED OVER MEXICO AND
EXTENDING NORTH ACROSS THE REGION TO THE CANADIAN BORDER AS AN UPPER
LOW SPINS OVER THE NORTHWEST. AS THIS LOW WOBBLES EAST THE SUB
TROPICAL RIDGE AXIS WILL SHIFT EASTWARD BUT THE RIDGE WILL CONTINUE
TO STRETCH ACROSS THE AREA. BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK THE RIDGE
STRENGTHENS WITH CENTER OF THE RIDGE RETURNING WEST TO NEAR THE 4
CORNERS REGION WITH A WARMING TREND EXPECTED.
PRECIPITATION DEVELOPED AGAIN WEDNESDAY ACROSS THE WEST WITH EVENING
SHOWERS AND STORMS CONTINUING INTO THE EARLY MORNING FROM PRESIDIO...
TO ORLA... TO ARTESIA. A NOCTURNAL JET GUSTING OVER 30KTS WAS
PUMPING FRESH MOISTURE INTO THE AREA KEEPING DEWPTS HIGH. EXPECT
STORMS AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON OVER THE MOUNTAINS. MODEL QPF STARTS
DEVELOPING LIGHT PRECIP DURING THE MORNING BETWEEN THE GUADALUPES
AND DAVIS MTNS WHICH HAPPENS TO BE THE SAME PLACE SOME SHOWERS
KICKED OFF YESTERDAY MORNING SO WILL KEEP SOME POPS EARLY FOR THE
WEST. STORMS THAT DEVELOP OVER THE MTNS THIS AFTERNOON MAY TRACK INTO
THE WESTERN PERMIAN BASIN BY EVENING. BUMPED UP POPS TODAY TO LOW
CHANCE CATEGORY ACROSS SE NM. WITH LITTLE CHANGE IN THE OVERALL
PATTERN IT WILL LOOK SIMILAR ON FRIDAY WITH STORMS OVER THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS. EXPECT SE NM WILL GET HEAVIEST RAINFALL. SATURDAY
QPF EXTENDS FARTHER SOUTH INTO THE BIG BEND AND A LITTLE FARTHER
EAST OF THE MOUNTAINS SO HAVE EXTENDED POPS. HAD A LITTLE SEVERE
WX YESTERDAY SO CANNOT RULE OUT SOME LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND
ALONG WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN. SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST FLOW WILL KEEP
GOOD LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IN PLACE WITH DEWPTS IN THE 60S. PW OF 1.0
TO 1.2 INCHES CAN BE EXPECTED SO SOME MINOR FLOODING WILL BE POSSIBLE
WITH STORMS.
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN NEAR TO ABOVE NORMAL IN THE MID 90S THE
NEXT FEW DAYS. THE WARMEST GUIDANCE HAS STILL BEEN JUST A LITTLE
TOO COOL SO WILL STAY A LITTLE ABOVE TODAY AND TOMORROW. TEMPERATURES
SLOWLY WARM THROUGH NEXT WEEK UNDER THE RIDGE.

THE SUBTROPICAL UPPER RIDGE THAT HAS BEEN CENTERED OVER MEXICO THE
PAST SEVERAL DAYS HAS BEEN EDGING NORTHWARD TOWARD WEST TEXAS
TODAY WHILE AN UPPER LOW DIGS INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. AT THE
SURFACE...STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW PERSISTS AS LEE TROUGHING ENHANCES
TO THE NORTH. SKIES HAVE BEEN MOSTLY CLEAR THROUGH THE MORNING AND
MID AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES HAVE WARMED TO LOW 90S. SEVERAL SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE IN THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING OVER THE DAVIS
AND GUADALUPE MOUNTAIN REGIONS THIS AFTERNOON AND ARE EXPECTED TO
MIGRATE OUT INTO THE PLAINS OF SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO AND PORTIONS
OF WEST TEXAS THROUGH THIS EVENING. MEANWHILE...AN EARLY MORNING
MCS THAT MOVED THROUGH THE TEXAS PANHANDLE HAS SENT AN OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY SOUTHWEST TOWARD THE PERMIAN BASIN...AS NOTED ON RADAR.
THIS BOUNDARY WILL LIKELY GENERATE SOME SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY ACROSS THE NORTHERN PERMIAN BASIN AND SOUTHEAST NEW
MEXICO AND A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS NOW IN EFFECT FOR THESE
AREAS. THE MAIN THREATS WILL BE LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND
HEAVY RAINFALL. WILL MAKE NOTE OF THIS IN THE HWO. ANY CONVECTION
MOVING OFF THE MOUNTAINS OF SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO WILL HAVE THE
POTENTIAL TO INTERACT WITH THIS BOUNDARY AND COULD RESULT IN AN
ISOLATED SHORT- LIVED TORNADO.
THE UPPER RIDGE WILL SHIFT SLIGHTLY EASTWARD THURSDAY AND FRIDAY BUT
MAINTAIN ITS INFLUENCE OVER MOST OF THE REGION. SURFACE LEE
TROUGHING WILL EXTEND SOUTHWARD INTO EASTERN NEW MEXICO AND WEST
TEXAS...KEEP STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW AND AMPLE MOISTURE IN PLACE
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. SURFACE HEATING NEAR THE TROUGH AXIS MAY HELP
TO GENERATE SOME AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
HIGHER TERRAIN REGIONS AS WELL AS THE SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO PLAINS
THROUGH SUNDAY. CONFIDENCE IS CURRENTLY LOW HOWEVER IF WE CAN GET A
WEAKNESS IN THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE UPPER RIDGE DURING PEAK
HEATING...COINCIDENT WITH A MID LEVEL THETA E AXIS...THEN ITS
DEFINITELY POSSIBLE FOR THE ABOVE MENTIONED LOCATIONS.
OTHERWISE...RAIN CHANCES WILL REMAIN NIL FOR MOST LOCATIONS THROUGH
THE FORECAST PERIOD. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN IN THE MID TO

THUNDERSTORMS NOT QUITE ENTERING NORTHWEST TEXAS PANHANDLE AT
PRESENT. THESE THUNDERSTORMS LIKELY TO SKIRT NORTH OF FORECAST
AREA OVERNIGHT. EVEN WITH A MORE SOUTHERLY TRACK...WOULD BE
UNLIKELY TO SEE THUNDERSTORMS LAST LONG ENOUGH TO MOVE INTO AREA
BEFORE DISSIPATING.
THUNDERSTORMS MAY NOT BE QUITE DONE IN DAVIS MOUNTAIN AND MARFA
PLATEAU AREAS AS A FEW CELLS HAVE COME AND GONE IN THE LAST HOUR...
SO WILL LEAVE CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS IN THAT AREA FOR THE
EVENING. ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DO POP UP ACROSS THAT AREA SHOULD

DEW POINTS GENERALLY IN THE 60S. A WEAK BOUNDARY IS CURRENTLY
SAGGING INTO THE PERMIAN BASIN PER 18Z SURFACE ANALYSIS. WE COULD
GET SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FORM NEAR THIS BOUNDARY THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING BUT THINK THE ATMOSPHERE MAY A LITTLE WORKED

ACROSS THE DAVIS MOUNTAIN REGION WHERE PERSISTENT UPSLOPE FLOW AT

U.S. THE TROUGH WILL BE UNABLE TO DISLODGE THIS RIDGE WHICH WILL
REMAIN OVER THE REGION THROUGH THE FORECAST.
A LARGE COMPLEX OF STORMS MOVED THROUGH THE REGION LAST EVENING AND
EXITED THE AREA EARLY THIS MORNING. SOME OF THESE STORMS PRODUCED
HEAVY RAIN WITH NEARLY 2 INCHES REPORTED AT FLUVANNA AND OVER 3

LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL REMAIN HIGH WITH E/SE FLOW. THE COMBINATION
OF DEWPTS IN THE 60S... DAYTIME HEATING.... AND UPSLOPE FLOW WILL

SHOW A WEAK BOUNDARY SAGGING DOWN INTO AREA EARLY TODAY WITH ETA
PUSHING IT FARTHER INTO THE REGION... THIS COULD BECOME A FOCUS FOR

TORNADO CAN/T BE RULED EITHER. MEANWHILE A CONVECTIVE COMPLEX IS
FAVORED TO COME OUT THE NE NM HIGHLANDS INTO WX TX PLAINS AND MAY
RESULT IN SECOND ROUND OF TSTMS EARLY TUE AM ACRS THE NRN CWFA.
ANOTHER ROUND OF STORMS IS POSSIBLE TUE PM IN PERSISTENT NW MID

SLGHT CHC TO CHC TSTMS WILL BE FAVORED IN THE DAVIS MTNS
REGARDLESS TUE PM. TIMING OF CONVECTION TUE WILL MAKE TEMPS FCST
DIFFICULT AND WILL TREND TEMPS DOWN JUST A DEGREE OR 2 FOR NOW.
STRONGER PRESENCE OF MID LEVEL RIDGE WILL SIGNAL DOWNTURN IN POPS

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF ISSUANCE
MAIN AVIATION CONCERN FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS WILL BE THE POTENTIAL
FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO AFFECT THE TERMINALS THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
CURRENTLY WINDS ARE LIGHT AND THERE ARE NO VSBY OR CIGS
RESTRICTIONS. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE
ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION BY MID AFTERNOON TODAY AND PERSIST INTO
THE EVENING HOURS. CANNOT CURRENTLY PINPOINT AN EXACT TIME
CONVECTION WILL AFFECT SITES SO FOR NOW JUST INCLUDED A TEMPO
GROUP FROM 1721/1801 INSTEAD OF A PREVAILING. WINDS WILL ALSO BE
VERY GUSTY/STRONG IN THE VICINITY OF ANY THUNDERSTORMS. THERE IS
A CHANCE FOR SOME SEVERE WEATHER LATER THIS AFTERNOON FOR
GENERALLY KHOB/KMAF AND MAYBE EVEN KINK. SOME STORMS COULD PRODUCE
DAMAGING WINDS IN EXCESS OF 60MPH AND LARGE HAIL. FREQUENT
LIGHTNING AND HEAVY RAINFALL COULD BE A PROBLEM AS WELL.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1027 AM CDT MON JUN 17 2013/
UPDATE...
ISSUED A QUICK UPDATE TO INCLUDE MENTION OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
IN THE NORTHEASTERN ZONES THROUGH TONIGHT. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS MUCH
OF THE AREA AS A CONVERGENT BOUNDARY TO THE NORTH SINKS FARTHER
SOUTH INTO THE PERMIAN BASIN REGION. THIS BOUNDARY WILL BECOME A
FOCUS FOR POTENTIAL SEVERE WEATHER LATER TODAY INTO THIS EVENING.
NOT QUITE SURE WHERE THE EXACT POSITION OF THIS BOUNDARY WILL BE
BUT BEST THINKING IS IT WILL BE ORIENTED NEAR A SOUTHEAST NEW
MEXICO TO SOUTHERN PERMIAN BASIN LINE. THE MAIN THREATS WILL BE
DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL WITH THE ADDITION OF LOCALIZED HEAVY
RAINFALL. OTHERWISE...PACKAGE WAS SENT AND NO OTHER CHANGES WERE
MADE.
PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 421 AM CDT MON JUN 17 2013/
DISCUSSION...
MUCH THE SAME SETUP WILL PREVAIL OVER SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO AND WEST
TEXAS TODAY WITH AN UPPER RIDGE ROOSTING OVER NORTHERN MEXICO, AND A
STEADY FEED OF MOISTURE INTO THE REGION VIA SOUTHEASTERLY LOW LEVEL
WINDS. AN MCS CONTINUED TO TREK SOUTHEASTWARD ALONG AND ON EITHER
SIDE OF THE RED RIVER, WITH A SMALLER CLUSTER OF SHOWERS AND STORMS
DECREASING IN INTENSITY OVER SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO. OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES FROM EACH SET OF STORMS WILL LIKELY RESIDE OVER THE
REGION LATER TODAY, ALONG WITH A FEW MORE LATENT ONES FROM
CONVECTION SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. ALTHOUGH THE UPPER AIR
SETUP WILL BE VERY MUCH THE SAME, THERE IS ONE FAIRLY SUBSTANTIAL
DIFFERENCE, THE UPPER RIDGE WILL RETREAT SOUTHWESTWARD INTO MEXICO
AS A FEW SHORTWAVE TROUGHS TRAVERSE THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES, NEW
MEXICO, AND EVEN FAR WEST TEXAS. THE RESULTANT DIFFLUENT FLOW ALOFT
WILL COMBINE WITH THE MID LEVEL SUPPORT PROVIDED BY THE MENTIONED
WAVES, STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES OF 7 TO 8 C/KM AND SBCAPE VALUES
IN THE 1500 TO 2500 J/KG RANGE TO SPARK SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT OVER THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. A FEW STORMS
COULD BE SEVERE, BUT CONSIDERING THE RELATIVELY WEAK SHEAR AND
TROPICAL AIRMASS, DO NOT ANTICIPATE A WIDESPREAD SEVERE EVENT.
HEAVY RAINFALL COULD PRESENT A PROBLEM SINCE THE STRONGER STORMS
WILL ALSO DUMP AN INCH OR MORE PER HOUR RAINFALL. LATER TONIGHT, AN
MCS COULD CLIP THE WESTERN LOW ROLLING PLAINS, WITH A LINE OR
CLUSTER OF STORMS POSSIBLY PRODUCING STRONG WINDS AND MORE HEAVY
RAINFALL.
WE COULD SEE ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS TUESDAY WITH THE UPPER
RIDGE IN A SIMILAR POSITION AND THE MOIST, UNSTABLE AIRMASS STILL
OVER THE AREA. COVERAGE OF STORMS WILL DEPEND SOMEWHAT ON HOW
THINGS PAN OUT TODAY, BUT THINK THE HIGHER TERRAIN AND NORTHERN/
CENTRAL PERMIAN BASIN WHERE A RESIDUAL BOUNDARY MAY LIE WILL BE
FAVORED FOR DEVELOPMENT. THE HOT CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
THE REST OF THE WEEK AS THE UPPER RIDGE MOVES OVER THE AREA
WEDNESDAY, BUT CONTINUES EASTWARD THEREAFTER. SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO
AND THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF WEST TEXAS WILL BE FAVORED FOR ADDITIONAL
CONVECTION WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, ESPECIALLY IF THE UPPER RIDGE
IS TRANSIENT. MEDIUM RANGE MODELS DIVERGE THIS WEEKEND, EVEN MORESO
THAN LATE THIS WEEK. SOME KEEP THE RIDGE OVER THE AREA WHILE OTHERS
SHIFT IT INTO THE EASTERN CONUS. FOR NOW, HAVE KEPT LOW ORDER POPS
OVER THE WEST THROUGH LATE THIS WEEK AND TEMPS HOT. LATER SHIFTS
WILL HAVE TO MONITOR WHETHER ANOTHER UPPER LOW IMPINGES UPON THE
AREA AROUND THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF A FURTHER EAST UPPER RIDGE.

MID LEVEL RIDGE AXIS IS NOSING UP INTO W TX/ERN NM WITH WEAK NW MID

AXIS AND IS SEEN AS A 5H THETA-E RIDGE IN MODEL DATA ACROSS THE W.
THIS ALONG WITH UPSLOPE WIND/STEEP LAPSE RATES HAS FAVORED STORMS
INITIATING IN THE HIER TERRAIN WHERE MID LEVEL CAP LESS OF A FACTOR.
STEERING WIND WILL FAVOR STORMS TO DRIFT EWD INTO THE PLAINS.
SOUNDINGS ARE WELL MIXED THRU 65H ACRS SE NM WITH A 25-30F T/TD
SPREAD AGAIN SUGGESTING GUSTY WINDS IN ASSOCN WITH MORE OF A
HYBRID TYPE OF MICROBURST SIGNATURE. 7H TEMPS ARE VERY WARM TODAY
(15C ON MAF 12Z SOUNDING) AND AS/IF STORMS MOVE INTO PLAINS/PB LATE
PM/EVENING EXPECT THAT THEY WILL TEND TO DISSIPATE BUT COULD PUSH
OUT SOME WIND. THE AFOREMENTIONED MID LEVEL THETA-E RIDGE AXIS WILL
SHIFT EWD MORE SO MONDAY WITH NW MID LEVEL FLOW PERSISTING. THE
PRESENCE OF A BOUNDARY ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NW-NE CWFA AND LOW

18Z TAF ISSUANCE
THE MAIN CONCERN FOR THIS TAF CYCLE WILL BE THE POSSIBILITY OF
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING ACROSS SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO AND PUSHING
SOUTHEAST THIS AFTERNOON. CURRENTLY...WINDS ARE GENERALLY WELL
BEHAVED FROM THE SOUTHEAST AND THIS IS EXPECTED TO BE THE RULE
THROUGH MONDAY MORNING. THE ONE EXCEPTION WILL BE FROM ANY
THUNDERSTORM WIND GUSTS THAT MAY AFFECT THE TERMINALS. RADAR
ACTIVITY ACROSS SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO IS SLOWLY INCREASING HOWEVER
STILL REMAINS LIGHT. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP ACROSS THIS AREA EARLY THIS AFTERNOON THEN PUSH
SOUTHEAST...AFFECTING KHOB AND KCNM AROUND 16/21Z. WILL INCLUDE A
TEMPO GROUP FOR MENTION OF THUNDER FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS. NOT SURE
IF THE CONVECTION WILL HOLD TOGETHER AFTER MOVING INTO WEST TEXAS
BUT WILL NEED TO AMEND OTHER TAF SITES IF ACTIVITY LOOKS TO AFFECT
THEM. OTHERWISE...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL.

WARMER TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED AREAWIDE TODAY AND MONDAY AS
HEIGHTS/THICKNESSES RISE OVER THE REGION DUE TO AN UPPER RIDGE
EXPANDING EASTWARD FROM MEXICO. THE RIDGE IS NOT EXPECTED TO
STRENGTHEN OR EXPAND EASTWARD RAPIDLY AS A SERIES OF SHORTWAVE
TROUGHS ROUND THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY AND MOVE EASTWARD INTO THE
TEXAS PANHANDLE OR WEST TEXAS. THE FIRST SUCH WAVE WILL TRANSLATE
INTO THE TEXAS PANHANDLE LATER TODAY...AND AID CONVECTION DEVELOPING
ALONG A SURFACE TROUGH OVER EASTERN NEW MEXICO AND THE HIGHER
TERRAIN OF WEST TEXAS. HOW MUCH THE CONVECTION MOVES EAST OR
SOUTHEAST TONIGHT FURTHER INTO THE AREA REMAINS TO BE SEEN, BUT IT
APPEARS MID LEVEL SUPPORT WILL BE LACKING FOR CONVECTION TO MAKE IT
TOO FAR. IT APPEARS INSTABILITY WILL BE GREAT ENOUGH FOR A FEW
STORMS TO BECOME STRONG TO SEVERE WITH STRONG WINDS THE MAIN THREAT,
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL, AND AN OUTSIDE POSSIBILITY OF HAIL.
ON MONDAY, A MORE SIGNIFICANT SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL MOVE INTO THE
TEXAS PANHANDLE AND APPEARS TO BE FAR ENOUGH SOUTH TO SUPPORT
CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT OVER THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE CWA. IT WILL
BE HOT MONDAY AND LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ENTRENCHED OVER THE AREA WILL
RESULT IN SBCAPE ANYWHERE FROM 1500 TO 2500 J/KG DURING THE
AFTERNOON. IN ADDITION, A CONVECTIVELY ENHANCED FRONTAL OR OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY MAY BE NEAR TO, OR ALREADY IN, THE NORTHERN CWA MONDAY
AFTERNOON/EVENING. SINCE THERE WILL BE SO MUCH INSTABILITY, THE
MENTIONED BOUNDARY, AND MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES OF 7 TO 7.5 C/KM OVER
THE WESTERN HALF OR SO OF THE CWA, THINK CONVECTION COULD DEVELOP
RATHER AGGRESSIVELY, THEN LAST WELL INTO THE EVENING IF NOT
OVERNIGHT. SINCE 0 TO 6 KM BULK SHEAR VECTORS WILL BE 20 TO 30KT,
THINK SOME OF THE STORMS COULD PRODUCE DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE
HAIL. HEAVY RAINFALL WILL ALSO BE A THREAT AS PWATS WILL BE 1 TO
1.5 INCHES OVER MOST OF THE AREA.
HAVE LEFT SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS I9N THE FORECAST TUESDAY,
MAINLY OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN AND ALONG THE MENTIONED BOUNDARY
WHICH COULD STILL BE LINGERING OVER THE WESTERN LOW ROLLING PLAINS
AND NORTHERN PERMIAN BASIN. THE UPPER RIDGE WILL START TO MOVE
FURTHER EASTWARD OVER THE REGION, BUT HOW MUCH IS IN QUESTION.
ALSO, THE WHEREABOUTS OF THE UPPER RIDGE THURSDAY AND BEYOND IS
UNCERTAIN WITH SOME MEDIUM RANGE MODELS PARKING OVER THE AREA, AND
OTHERS HAVING IT CONTINUE EASTWARD SOUTHERN PLAINS, IF NOT
SOUTHEASTERN U.S. BY LATE NEXT WEEK. THE FORMER WOULD KEEP US HOT
AND DRY, AND THE LATTER WOULD ALLOW FOR SLIGHTLY COOLER AFTERNOON
READINGS, IF NOT MORE THUNDERSTORM CHANCES. FOR NOW HAVE GONE

EXTENDING FROM THE DAVIS MOUNTAINS SOUTH AND EAST ACROSS NORTHWESTERN

TRANSLATE NORTH OVERNIGHT. A VERY MOISTURE-RICH AIRMASS IS IN PLACE
WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES RUNNING WELL OVER +2 SD OVER CLIMO

SOUNDINGS FROM THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH OVERNIGHT SHOW A DEEP MOIST
PROFILE WITH TALL/SKINNY CAPE, A DEEP WARM CLOUD LAYER, LITTLE IN
THE WAY OF CLOUD-BEARING SHEAR, AND FAIRLY LOW LCL`S. APPEARS THAT
MOST OF THE INGREDIENTS ARE IN PLACE FOR A HEAVY RAIN EVENT WHERE
DEEP LAYER LIFT AND LOW LEVEL FORCING VIA OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES COINCIDE.
RIGHT NOW, FOR TONIGHT, WE EXPECT THE HEAVIEST RAINS...WITH WIDESPREAD
AMOUNTS UP TO AN INCH AND LOCALIZED 1-3 INCH AMOUNTS...TO BE LOCATED
ROUGHLY EAST OF A LAMESA TO MIDLAND/ODESSA TO SANDERSON LINE. A FLASH

AN UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE AREA JUST EAST OF THE BIG BEND WILL
MOVE NORTH TOWARD THE NORTHERN PERMIAN BASIN THIS EVENING AND THEN
THE EASTERN TEXAS/OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE BY SATURDAY MORNING. GUIDANCE
AND SATELLITE INDICATING THAT TWO MORE SIGNIFICANT SHORTWAVES WILL
ROTATE NORTHWARD THROUGH THE EASTERN PERMIAN BASIN THROUGH
SATURDAY ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LOW. THE FIRST WAVE IS CURRENTLY
PRODUCING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE LOWER RIO GRANDE
VALLEY. THIS PRECIPITATION SHOULD ADVECT NORTH/NORTHWEST THROUGH
THE FORECAST AREA LATER THIS MORNING AND THIS AFTERNOON PRODUCING
SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THUNDERSTORMS
COULD PRODUCE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL THIS AFTERNOON AS THE
INTENSITY OF THE PRECIPITATION INCREASES DUE TO HEATING AND
PRECIPITABLE WATER INCREASING TO OVER 1.5 INCHES ACROSS THE
EASTERN PERMIAN BASIN CLOSEST TO THE TRACK OF THE WAVE. ANOTHER
ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED OVERNIGHT ACROSS THE EASTERN
PERMIAN BASIN AND LOWER TRANS PECOS AS ANOTHER SHORTWAVE ROTATES
NORTHWARD FROM NORTHERN MEXICO. CONTINUED PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUES OVER 1.5 INCHES COULD RESULT IN ANOTHER ROUND OF LOCALLY
HEAVY RAINFALL. HAVE OPTED TO ISSUE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN THE
EASTERN PERMIAN BASIN AND LOWER TRANS PECOS ALONG EAST OF A
LAMESA TO ODESSA TO FORT STOCKTON TO SANDERSON LINE THIS AFTERNOON
AND TONIGHT WITH RAINFALL RATES OF 1 TO 2 INCHES PER HOUR EXPECTED
WHICH COULD PRODUCE LOCALIZED FLOODING ESPECIALLY IN THE URBAN
AREAS THAT ARE NOTED FOR THEIR POOR WATER DRAINAGE. HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL COOL SIGNIFICANTLY TODAY UNDERNEATH THE LOW WITH
PLENTY OF CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL LINGER IN THE EASTERN PERMIAN
BASIN SATURDAY AS THE UPPER LOW SLOWLY SHIFTS EAST AWAY FROM
THE AREA. HEATING AND UPSLOPE FLOW COULD GENERATE ISOLATED
CONVECTION IN THE MOUNTAINS SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
THE LATEST NAM/CMC AND ECMWF ARE CONTINUING TO INDICATE
THAT THE UPPER RIDGE WILL BE WEAKER AND FLATTER THEN PREVIOUSLY
THOUGHT ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST UNITED STATES SUNDAY THROUGH
TUESDAY. AT THE SAME TIME AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL BE MOVING
ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND WILL PUSH A COLD FRONT SOUTH INTO THE
PERMIAN BASIN MONDAY AND TUESDAY. HAVE INCREASED POPS MOST
AREAS THESE PERIODS AND COOLED HIGH TEMPERATURES A COUPLE OF
DEGREES MONDAY AND TUESDAY ACROSS THE PERMIAN BASIN AND SOUTHEAST
NEW MEXICO DUE TO THE FRONT.
BY NEXT WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY THE UPPER RIDGE IS FORECAST TO
STRENGTHEN AND AREAL COVERAGE OF ANY POSSIBLE CONVECTION
SHOULD SHRINK TO ISOLATED IN PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO

AN UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE AREA JUST EAST OF THE BIG BEND WILL
MOVE NORTH TOWARD THE NORTHERN PERMIAN BASIN THIS EVENING AND THEN
THE EASTERN TEXAS/OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE BY SATURDAY MORNING. GUIDANCE
AND SATELLITE INDICATING THAT TWO MORE SIGNIFICANT SHORTWAVES WILL
ROTATE NORTHWARD THROUGH THE EASTERN PERMIAN BASIN THROUGH
SATURDAY ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LOW. THE FIRST WAVE IS CURRENTLY
PRODUCING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE LOWER RIO GRANDE
VALLEY. THIS PRECIPITATION SHOULD ADVECT NORTH/NORTHWEST THROUGH
THE FORECAST AREA LATER THIS MORNING AND THIS AFTERNOON PRODUCING
SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THUNDERSTORMS
COULD PRODUCE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL THIS AFTERNOON AS THE
INTENSITY OF THE PRECIPITATION INCREASES DUE TO HEATING AND
PRECIPITABLE WATER INCREASING TO OVER 1.5 INCHES ACROSS THE
EASTERN PERMIAN BASIN CLOSEST TO THE TRACK OF THE WAVE. ANOTHER
ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED OVERNIGHT ACROSS THE EASTERN
PERMIAN BASIN AND LOWER TRANS PECOS AS ANOTHER SHORTWAVE ROTATES
NORTHWARD FROM NORTHERN MEXICO. CONTINUED PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUES OVER 1.5 INCHES COULD RESULT IN ANOTHER ROUND OF LOCALLY
HEAVY RAINFALL. HAVE OPTED TO ISSUE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN THE
EASTERN PERMIAN BASIN AND LOWER TRANS PECOS ALONG EAST OF A
LAMESA TO ODESSA TO FORT STOCKTON TO SANDERSON LINE THIS AFTERNOON
AND TONIGHT WITH RAINFALL RATES OF 1 TO 2 INCHES PER HOUR EXPECTED
WHICH COULD PRODUCE LOCALIZED FLOODING ESPECIALLY IN THE URBAN
AREAS THAT ARE NOTED FOR THEIR POOR WATER DRAINAGE. HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL COOL SIGNIFICANTLY TODAY UNDERNEATH THE LOW WITH
PLENTY OF CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL LINGER IN THE EASTERN PERMIAN
BASIN SATURDAY AS THE UPPER LOW SLOWLY SHIFTS EAST AWAY FROM
THE AREA. HEATING AND UPSLOPE FLOW COULD GENERATE ISOLATED
CONVECTION IN THE MOUNTAINS SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
THE LATEST NAM/CMC AND ECMWF ARE CONTINUING TO INDICATE
THAT THE UPPER RIDGE WILL BE WEAKER AND FLATTER THEN PREVIOUSLY
THOUGHT ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST UNITED STATES SUNDAY THROUGH
TUESDAY. AT THE SAME TIME AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL BE MOVING
ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND WILL PUSH A COLD FRONT SOUTH INTO THE
PERMIAN BASIN MONDAY AND TUESDAY. HAVE INCREASED POPS MOST
AREAS THESE PERIODS AND COOLED HIGH TEMPERATURES A COUPLE OF
DEGREES MONDAY AND TUESDAY ACROSS THE PERMIAN BASIN AND SOUTHEAST
NEW MEXICO DUE TO THE FRONT.
BY NEXT WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY THE UPPER RIDGE IS FORECAST TO
STRENGTHEN AND AREAL COVERAGE OF ANY POSSIBLE CONVECTION
SHOULD SHRINK TO ISOLATED IN PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO
AND THE UPPER TRANS PECOS AND POSSIBLY THE DAVIS MOUNTAINS.
HIGH TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE ABOVE NORMAL UNDER THE STRENGTHENING
RIDGE.

DISCUSSION...
AN UNSETTLED AND (HOPEFULLY) WET PATTERN IS SHAPING UP OVER WEST
TEXAS AND SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO. ABUNDANT MOISTURE THROUGH A
LARGE PORTION OF THE TROPOSPHERE IS BEING BROUGHT OVER THE
SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS IN ADVANCE OF AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE NOW
CENTERED OVER NORTHERN COAHUILA. A SECONDARY SHORTWAVE, PERHAPS
CONVECTIVELY INDUCED, APPEARS TO BE LOCATED OVER NORTHWESTERN
CHIHUAHUA SOUTHWEST OF PRESIDIO. ALONG WITH DIURNAL HEATING, DEEP
LAYER LIFT INDUCED BY THESE DISTURBANCES HAS ACTED ON THIS MOISTURE
WITH THE NET EFFECT BEING SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS FROM
THE DAVIS MOUNTAINS SOUTH ACROSS THE MARFA PLAINS AND THE BIG BEND.
BOTH DEEP LAYER SHEAR AND POTENTIAL INSTABILITY ARE WEAK, AND SO
WE`RE NOT EXPECTING A SIGNIFICANT SEVERE THREAT FROM THIS ACTIVITY.
HOWEVER, BECAUSE THE CELLS ARE MOVING SLOWLY AND WITHIN A RICH
AIRMASS, LOCALIZED FLOODING WILL BE A CONCERN THROUGH MID EVENING,
ESPECIALLY IN ARROYOS, DRAWS, LOW WATER CROSSINGS, ETC. THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY MAY PERSIST OVERNIGHT GENERALLY SOUTH OF I-10, ESPECIALLY
ALONG THE RIO GRANDE WHERE UPPER LEVEL FORCING IS GREATEST.
FRIDAY COULD BE THE WETTEST DAY WE`VE SEEN IN A LONG WHILE. WE
EXPECT AN AXIS OF MOISTURE TO BE ROUGHLY ALONG A SANDERSON TO
MIDLAND TO LOVINGTON LINE BY MORNING. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES
WITHIN THIS AXIS COULD BE OVER 4 CM, OR ABOUT AT THE 99TH PERCENTILE
OF CLIMO THIS TIME OF YEAR. WEAK DEEP LAYER SHEAR, TALL/SKINNY CAPE,
AND A DEEP WARM CLOUD LAYER ALL SUPPORT EFFICIENT RAIN PRODUCTION.
PLUS IT WON`T TAKE A LOT OF HEATING TO KICK THINGS OFF IN THE MORNING.
WHILE THE OVERALL SETUP FAVORS HEAVY RAINFALL, WE DON`T HAVE A LOT
OF CONFIDENCE IN EXACTLY WHERE THIS HEAVY RAINFALL WILL FOCUS.
SHOULD WE GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHERE HEAVY RAINFALL WILL
FOCUS, A FLASH FLOOD WATCH COULD BE NEEDED.
RAIN CHANCES WILL CONTINUE FRIDAY NIGHT BUT WILL BEGIN TO DIMINISH
LATE IN THE EVENING AS BOTH UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT AND DIURNAL HEATING
WANE. THERE`LL BE SUFFICIENT MOISTURE AND HEATING SATURDAY FOR AT
LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS, BUT WE SHOULD START TO DRY
OUT SATURDAY NIGHT. UPPER LEVEL RIDGING AND THICKNESSES INCREASE
SUNDAY AND THIS IN TURN WILL RESULT IN WARMER HIGHS, WITH TEMPERATURES
POSSIBLY TOPPING THE CENTURY MARK ACROSS THE UPPER TRANS PECOS.
COULD SEE COOLER TEMPERATURES ACROSS AREAS WHERE HEAVIER RAINS
OCCURRED, BUT IT COULD ALSO BE THE GROUND WILL SOAK UP WHATEVER
MOISTURE WE MIGHT GET. MODELS ARE HINTING AT MCS DEVELOPMENT OVER
KANSAS AND OKLAHOMA SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY, AND IN TURN AN OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY OF SORTS LOOKS TO ENTER WEST TEXAS SOMETIME LATE MONDAY.
TOO MANY UNCERTAINTIES RIGHT NOW TO CONTEMPLATE AND SO WE`LL LEAVE
ISOLATED THUNDER IN THE FORECAST...THIS COULD BE INCREASED AS WE
GAIN CONFIDENCE IN HOW THINGS WILL EVOLVE.
GETTING INTO THE WEEDS...A BLEND OF THE 12Z ECMWF AND 12Z NAM WAS
USED FOR THE POP/QPF FORECASTS. THE SREF APPEARS TO SUPPORT THIS
SOMEWHAT, BUT BECAUSE THE SREF IS AN ENSEMBLE, POP/QPF FORECASTS
ARE UNDERDISPERSIVE AND GET SMEARED OUT OVER A LARGER AREA. ALL
OTHER FORECAST GRIDS LOOKED PRETTY GOOD AND ONLY A FEW TWEAKS WERE
NEEDED. AS MENTIONED BEFORE, THE EVOLUTION OF MCS ACTIVITY AND
RESULTANT OUTFLOW BOUNDARY PROGRESSION MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY IS
UNCERTAIN AT THIS TIME AND POP/QPF FORECASTS MAY NEED TO BE ADJUSTED
UPWARD BY LATER SHIFTS.

AN UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE AREA ACROSS SOUTHERN TEXAS IS FORECAST
TO MOVE WEST TOWARD THE BIG BEND TODAY AND THEN NORTH INTO WEST
TEXAS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. WITH THE APPROACH OF THE SYSTEM TODAY
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF
SOUTHWEST TEXAS AND THE LOWER TRANS PECOS CLOSEST TO THE UPPER
LOW. SOME CONVECTION MIGHT DEVELOP FURTHER NORTH INTO THE PERMIAN
BASIN AND POSSIBLY SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO DUE TO POTENTIAL OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES SPREADING NORTH WITH HELP FROM A 20 TO 30 KNOT EAST TO
SOUTHEAST 500 MILLIBAR FLOW. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE A COUPLE
OF DEGREES COOLER TODAY DUE TO DEEP EAST TO SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW
AND LOWERING HEIGHTS.
THE BEST CHANCE FOR AREAWIDE THUNDERSTORMS (CHANCE TO LIKELY)
APPEARS TO BE FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES NORTH
TOWARD THE WEST TEXAS/SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO BORDER. NOT EXPECTING
SEVERE WEATHER DUE TO SHEAR FORECAST TO BE LESS THAN 30 KNOTS WITH
POOR LAPSE RATES AND CAPES GENERALLY BELOW 1500 J/KG. LOCALLY
HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE GIVEN FORECAST PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUES OF 1.5 INCHES. THE BEST CHANCE OF CONVECTION WILL SHIFT
INTO THE EASTERN PERMIAN BASIN SATURDAY AS THE UPPER LOW BEGINS TO
DEPART TO THE NORTHEAST OF THE AREA. EXPECTING HIGH TEMPERATURES
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY TO BE BELOW NORMAL IN CLOUDY MOIST REGIME.
LATEST CMC AND ECMWF NOW INDICATING UPPER RIDGE WILL BE WEAKER
AND FLATTER ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST UNITED STATES SUNDAY THROUGH
TUESDAY. AT THE SAME TIME AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL BE MOVING
ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND WILL PUSH A COLD FRONT SOUTH INTO THE
PERMIAN BASIN. HAVE OPTED TO INCLUDE ISOLATED CONVECTION
ACROSS A LARGE AREA OF THE FORECAST AREA THESE DAYS.
UPPER RIDGE MAY FINALLY BECOME STRONGER NEXT WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY WITH DRY CONDITIONS AND ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES.
