477 FXUS64 KMAF 231055 AFDMAF Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 555 AM CDT Sun Jun 23 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Today through Monday afternoon) Issued at 213 AM CDT Sun Jun 23 2024 The trend of warmer temperatures will continue today into Monday. After a few "cooler" days we should finally reach normal this afternoon which is mid 90s for most. We will likely cross the century mark in the river valleys. Ridging directly overhead is producing enough subsidence to keep any rain at bay. We may not even see our typical isolated shower over the Davis Mountains today. Very little if anything changes Monday. && .LONG TERM... (Monday night through Saturday) Issued at 213 AM CDT Sun Jun 23 2024 The center of the upper ridge will shift west, but remain in control of our weather through the week. Better moisture across the higher terrain will lead to a daily occurrence of scattered showers and storms. Further east, capping will keep rain chances near zero. Temperatures each afternoon will climb near 100 with the hottest along the Rio Grande where more Head Advisories could be needed. The upper ridge looks to shift east by next weekend and may open the door for a little more Gulf moisture and slightly cooler temperatures. && .AVIATION...
