227 FXUS64 KMAF 301937 AFDMAF AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX 237 PM CDT THU JUL 30 2015 .DISCUSSION... A couple of surface boundaries hanging around northern portions of the region this afternoon with cu developing near these boundaries in the Central Permian Basin and also Lea county. With continued heating, could see some isolated convection popping up at some point across these areas then diminishing after sunset. Temperatures near a degree or two cooler today than yesterday with highs generally in the 90s most areas. A subtropical ridge slowly retrograding overhead today will continue westward through Friday, becoming somewhat anchored over NM this weekend. Much of the same expected Friday with highest rain chances remaining north of the CWA in NM and TX Panhandle. SE NM will remain on the edge of the monsoonal activity so not entirely sure this area won't see some isolated showers and thunderstorms through Friday evening. Northerly flow aloft develops by Saturday, potentially bringing rain chances back to the region as upper weaknesses slide around the east side of the ridge. Through the weekend, highest rain chances will likely remain across the eastern half of the FA although could see some afternoon mountain convection as well. Monday and beyond, forecast guidance differ slightly in the location of the upper ridge with the GFS keeping it centered over NM and the ECMWF farther southwest. Either way, models not showing much in the way of QPF so will continue with a mostly dry forecast other than some potential for mountain convection each afternoon. Above normal temps will continue through the forecast period, although not quite as hot as we have been seeing this last week or so. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
