399 FXUS64 KMAF 010511 AFDMAF Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 1211 AM CDT Mon Jul 1 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (This afternoon through Monday night) Issued at 254 PM CDT Sun Jun 30 2024 No change is expected in the short term. Current satellite shows an extensive cumulus field developing in the Davis Mountains with scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms in the stronger cells west to Van Horn and the Rio Grande. More of the same is expected tomorrow as an upper level high pressure system over the Red River Valley remains in place advecting seasonably hot air over the CWA. Temperatures tomorrow will be near normal with highs generally in the upper 90s to low 100s with overnight lows in the 70s. Hennig && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday through Saturday) Issued at 254 PM CDT Sun Jun 30 2024 There continues to be little change to the long term forecast through Wednesday as an upper level ridge over the Southern US continues to hold sway. Afternoon highs stay just above normal in the upper 90s to low 100s. Lows remain in the mid to upper 70s as breezy low level jets continue to provide warm, moist air from the southeast each night. Pattern begins to shift heading into Thursday as the ridge to the east begins to weaken and move eastward. Rain chances begin to increase on Thursday as another ridge moves over the Four Corners. Northwest flow around the ridge will bring shortwave troughs into the region aiding in shower an storm development. The Four Corners ridge strengthens for Friday and into Saturday bringing temperatures down near or just below normal in the low to mid 90s. Rain chances will not be very high, but as it stands now, much of the CWA will have a chance for measurable rain. Amounts remain uncertain and more details will be figured out heading into the coming week. -Stickney && .AVIATION...
