Area forecast discussion 
National Weather Service Midland/Odessa Texas 
559 PM CDT Friday Jul 4 2008 


Aviation... 
predominately VFR conditions to prevail through Saturday morning. 
Isolated convection is currently developing across the Permian 
Basin and southeast New Mexico plains...which may result in a 
brief period of MVFR ceilings and a tempo thunderstorm/cumulonimbus until 03z 
at some taf sites.

Previous discussion... /issued 232 PM CDT Friday Jul 4 2008/ 


Discussion... 
despite copious amounts of moisture...a weak middle level circulation 
in and near the Davis Mountains and another over the northern 
County Warning Area...convection is not as widespread this afternoon as yesterday. 
Think we will see this trend continue Saturday and Sunday as the 
upper ridge to the west expands slowly over the region and lower 
Theta-E air spreads over the area from central Texas. Will still 
carry slight chance of showers and thunderstorms most locations 
tonight...mainly this evening...but have kept trending probability of precipitation down 
both Saturday and Sunday. 


The warm up and dry up looks to be short lived though as the bulk of 
model data is indicating an inverted upper trough translating 
northwestward along the Rio Grande and impinging upon the area as 
early as Monday. The GFS is an outlier with this solution. Have 
sided with the bulk of model data that indicates rain chances will 
increase Monday...then last through much of next week. Cooler than 
normal temperatures will also prevail areawide. Have not gone hog 
wild with precipitation chances just yet as another upper ridge is 
prognosticated to take shape over the southern Continental U.S. With US on the western 
fringe of it. Both probability of precipitation and temperatures in the upcoming forecast will be 
higher and lower respectively than GFS/mex data though. If perchance 
the upper ridge ends up stronger a la GFS...then temperatures will 
have to be raised and probability of precipitation lowered. The GFS has not performed well 
lately with all the mesoscale phenomena dictating the weather. 
However...an upper ridge is synoptic scale so there is the 
possibility it could be right.
