This bulk download tool provides the NWS text
in a raw form, hopefully directly usable by your processing system.
You can either provide a complete 6-character PIL/AFOS ID or provide
the 3-character base ID (e.g., AFD). The start and end
dates represent 00 UTC for those dates. The Zip format is useful as
the filenames will have the product timestamp, which is useful for
when the product format has ambiguous timestamps.
061 FXUS64 KMAF 100352 AFDMAF AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX 1052 PM CDT Sat May 9 2015 .UPDATE... Update to include Severe Thunderstorm Watch number 152 until 3 am CDT. && .DISCUSSION... As of 10/03Z, a Pacific cold front has pushed to the eastern fringe of the forecast area where it is meeting up with a retreating dryline. The atmosphere is moist and very unstable along and east of the dryline with CAPE values conservatively around 3000 J/Kg. Mid level lapse rates are indicated to be around 8C and 0 to 6 km bulk shear 50 to 60kt above the dryline/ front intersection over the Lower Trans Pecos and eastern Permian Basin. There also appears to be a subtle shortwave trough moving toward the Big Bend region on Water Vapor imagery attended by a 110kt h25 jet. Considering all of the above, think thunderstorms will initiate over the eastern Permian Basin and Lower Trans Pecos in the next couple of hours, conglomerate into a Mesoscale Convective System and move east and northeast into central/ northern Texas overnight. Large hail and damaging winds will be possible with these storms. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
