AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
300 AM CST WED JAN 24 2001

SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA TODAY WITH ASSOCIATED PAC FRONT.
SOME LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS IN PLACE AND I BELIEVE THIS WILL BE
ENOUGH TO WARRANT THE ONGOING MENTION OF POPS ACROSS MUCH OF THE
AREA. LAPSE RATES ARE NOT TOO IMPRESIVE AT THIS TIME...SO I WILL NOT
INCLUDE ANY MENTION OF THUNDER. GENERALLY I WILL STICK CLOSE TO
THE ONGOING FORECAST...WHICH HAS A MENTION OF CHC POPS IN SOME OF THE
NWRN AREAS AND SLIGHT CHC POPS ELSEWHERE...ALTHOUGH I WILL MAKE
A FEW TWEAKS TO THESE VALUES. ZONAL FLOW PATTERN TO SET UP AFTER THE
SHORTWAVE PASSES TODAY...AND THIS WILL CHANGE TOWARD THE WEEKEND
WHEN THE NEXT SYSTEM DROPS DOWN ALONG THE PACIFIC COAST AND BEGINS
TO MOVE ACROSS THE SWRN DESERTS. THE NEXT SYSTEM WILL BE QUITE STRONG
AND SLOW MOVING...AND I WILL LIKELY OPT FOR CHC POPS THRU SATURDAY
THRU TUESDAY IN MOST AREAS. DJK
