CURRENT FORECASTS LOOK ON TRACK...EXCEPT MAY NEED TO TWEAK A FEW
TEMPERATURES UPWARD.

WV IMAGERY SHOWING FA DOMINATED MOSTLY BY MID/HIGH LEVEL SUBSIDENCE
IN WAKE OF EXITING S/W.  VISIBLE SATELLITE INDICATES CLEARING FROM
VAL VERDE COUNTY NORTHWESTWARD INTO SOUTHERN EDDY COUNTY.
HOWEVER...ANOTHER AREA OF CLOUDS TO OUR NORTHWEST IS ON ITS WAY
BUT APPEARS TO BE OF A BROKEN NATURE.  HENCE...MAY SEE A LITTLE MORE
SUNSHINE TODAY.  AS A RESULT...BELIEVE TEMPERATURES ACROSS MUCH OF
FA EAST OF MOUNTAINS SHOULD BE TWEAKED UPWARD A CATEGORY OR
TWO...ESPECIALLY SINCE MOST OR WITHIN A CATEGORY OF FORECASTS HIGHS.

KMAF 88D REFL PRODUCE SHOWING AN AREA OF LIGHT RAIN MOVING THROUGH
THE EASTERN PERMIAN BASIN ATTM BUT AS IT MOVES SOUTH IT CONTINUES TO
DECREASE IN AREAL COVERAGE AND INTENSITY.

OTHERWISE...FORECASTS LOOK GOOD.
