NWS Forecaster Discussion




Area forecast discussion 
National Weather Service Midland/Odessa Texas 
723 PM CDT Tuesday may 22 2012 


Update... 
update to adjust probability of precipitation. 


&& 


Discussion... 
thunderstorms continued to develop near the Glass Mountains... 
southwestward to near Persimmon Gap in an area of upslope flow and 
modest instability. The better moisture lie further east...and will 
likely return westward too late for scattered to numerous storms to 
occur...especially since there does not appear to be any middle level 
support to erode a strengthening cap. A storm or two more will be 
strong...if not severe...due to around 30kt of 0 to 6km bulk 
shear...but the overall trend will be for weaker storms as the sun 
sets and instability wanes. Will send an update to adjust probability of precipitation... 
which will be relegated mainly to Brewster County for the next 2 
to 3 hours. Southerly winds will persist overnight and keep 
minimum temperatures on the mild side...except along the Pecos 
River in New Mexico where lighter winds in the drier air will 
allow temperatures to drop beneath mostly clear skies. The update will 
follow shortly.
