NWS Forecaster Discussion
677 fxus64 kmaf 182148 aaa afdmaf Area forecast discussion National Weather Service Midland/Odessa Texas 224 PM CDT Friday Jul 18 2008 Discussion... an upper level low near the Texas coast will drift westward the next several days with subsidence translating on the west side of this feature toward West Texas. Expecting precipitation chances the next several days to be confined to the western portion of the forecast area...mainly in the mountains and the immediate adjacent plains furthest away from the sinking air in the higher middle level Theta-E air. The steering flow aloft out of the east is not conducive for the storms to translate into the Permian Basin. High temperatures in the plains will increase with a decent amount of sunshine due to the subsidence. This upper low is forecast to pass across northern Mexico early next week with the better middle level Theta-E air continuing to reside over the aforementioned western section. Will continue isolated to widely scattered showers and thunderstorms for these areas Monday and Tuesday. Interestingly the guidance is not forecasting higher Theta-E or precipitation across the Permian Basin Monday or Tuesday northeast of this feature that would occur typically. This will need to be monitored the next couple of days. By next Wednesday the upper low will have moved west of the forecast area with an upper level ridge building southward across the area with easterly middle level flow. This pattern does not look conducive to precipitation and will not mention even in the higher terrain. Temperatures will continue to be near seasonal normals. && Midland Texas 71 96 71 97 70 / 10 10 10 Carlsbad nm 69 95 69 96 69 / 20 20 10 Marfa Texas 61 87 60 88 57 / 20 20 20 Fort Stockton Texas 71 96 70 97 69 / 10 10 10 Maf watches/warnings/advisories... nm...none.
