AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
319 AM CDT SUN MAY 12 2013

.DISCUSSION...
A REX BLOCK PATTERN WILL AFFECT THE AREA THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS AN
UPPER LOW OVER NORTHERN MEXICO UNDERCUTS AN UPPER LEVEL HIGH OVER
THE FOUR CORNERS REGION. THIS WILL KEEP RAIN CHANCES IN THE BIG
BEND WHICH IS CLOSEST TO THE LOW...THOUGH A SHEARED OUT TROUGH
OVER WEST TEXAS WILL ALLOW FOR AFTERNOON CUMULUS AND PERHAPS A FEW
ROGUE LIGHT SHOWERS. RAIN CHANCES WILL INCREASE TUESDAY AND COVER
MUCH OF THE CWA AS THE UPPER LOW FINALLY EJECTS EAST ACROSS
SOUTHWEST TEXAS.

ENJOY THE FIRST HALF OF THE FORECAST PERIOD BECAUSE THE SECOND
HALF WILL BE A REMINDER THAT SUMMER IS CLOSER THAN WINTER. ZONAL
FLOW IN THE WAKE OF THE DEPARTING LOW WILL CAUSE TEMPERATURES TO
SOAR ABOVE NORMAL THE LATTER PART OF THE WEEK WITH HIGHS EASILY IN
THE 90S WITH SOME 100 DEGREE READINGS ALONG THE RIO GRANDE.
