111 FXUS64 KMAF 221715 AFDMAF Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 1215 PM CDT Sat Jun 22 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Today through Sunday afternoon) Issued at 236 AM CDT Sat Jun 22 2024 The warmer and drier trend will continue into today. The good thing; we will still have enough moisture around to keep temperatures below normal one more day. Upper ridging continues to retrograde west across the region and strong subsidence will keep any chance for rain in the Davis Mountains if we even see that. Not much changes Sunday other than highs climbing closer to the century mark. && .LONG TERM... (Sunday night through Friday) Issued at 236 AM CDT Sat Jun 22 2024 Ridging remains in full control into much of next week although there could be some opportunities for a little rain. Before we see that, temperatures will be climbing with it becoming more likely we will add to our 100 degree days. Increasing heights and an intense mid level thermal ridge over the area will lead to what looks like a long stretch of above normal temperatures. While isolated storms are possible nearly any afternoon in the higher terrain, a weak front could bring a chance for storms further east midweek. Rain chances dwindle and shift back to the mountains late in the week. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1214 PM CDT Sat Jun 22 2024 VFR conditions with southerly to southeasterly winds will continue the next 24 hours. Winds may be intermittently gusty, especially this afternoon and early evening, with gusts to around 20-25kt possible. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
