317 PM MST SAT DEC 31 2005

...STRONG WINDS OVER SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO AND FAR WEST TEXAS SUNDAY...

.AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH APPROACHING THE REGION TONIGHT WILL BRING
WITH IT STRONG WESTERLY WINDS ALOFT AFTER MIDNIGHT. MOST OF THE
LOWLANDS OVER SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO AND FAR WEST TEXAS WILL BE
SHELTERED FROM THESE STRONG WINDS DURING THE COOL OVERNIGHT AND
EARLY MORNING HOURS. HOWEVER SOME ISOLATED AREAS MAY ACTUALLY
EXPERIENCE INCREASE WINDS TONIGHT. EAST SLOPES...ADJACENT TO
AREA MOUNTAIN CHAINS...ESPECIALLY IN THE VICINITY OF GAPS AND
PASSES ARE AREAS WHERE INCREASED WINDS OFTEN OCCUR UNDER THIS
WEATHER PATTERN. 

ON SUNDAY WINDS ALOFT AND LOW LEVEL PRESSURE GRADIENTS INCREASE.
THIS WILL ALLOW SURFACE WINDS TO STRENGTHEN ACROSS ALL OF SOUTHERN
NEW MEXICO AND FAR WEST TEXAS...WITH THE AREA BECOMING WINDY WITH
GUSTS BETWEEN 40 AND 50 MPH EXPECTED. BECAUSE OF THE UNUSUALLY DRY
CONDITIONS...BLOWING DUST AND SAND IS LIKELY TO CAUSE AREAS OF
SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED VISIBILITY.

ALL TRAVELERS ACROSS THE REGION ARE ASKED TO USE CAUTION WHILE
MOVING ABOUT ON SUNDAY.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EL PASO TX/SANTA TERESA NM
359 AM MST SAT NOV 26 2005

.SYNOPSIS...
ALTHOUGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE WELL ABOVE NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF
THE YEAR TODAY...AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE APPROACHING FROM THE
NORTHWEST WILL HELP TO YIELD BREEZY CONDITIONS IN THE AFTERNOON.
WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO PICK UP THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON AS A COLD
FRONT PUSHES TOWARDS THE AREA...BRINGING WITH IT A SLIGHT CHANCE
OF RAIN SHOWERS AND EVEN SNOW SHOWERS TO THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF
THE GILAS AND SACS SATURDAY NIGHT AND EARLY SUNDAY. THE FRONT WILL
ALSO MEAN MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES FOR SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY
NIGHT...BEFORE A RECOVERY TO WARMER READINGS INTO MIDWEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
ESSENTIALLY CLEAR SKIES PREVAILED OVERNIGHT AS HIGH CLOUDS
ASSOCIATED WITH WEAK S/WV ENERGY RIDING THROUGH RIDGE TO THE WEST
OF THE CWA DECAYED BEFORE PUSHING IN. THIS RIDGING TO OUR WEST
WILL FLATTEN A BIT...BUT MANAGE TO PUSH INTO THE CWA...KEEPING
HIGHS TODAY SOME 10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL THIS AFTERNOON. SURFACE
PRESSURE GRADIENT BEGINS TO TIGHTEN AS LEE LOW TO THE NORTHEAST OF
THE CWA BEGINS TO STRENGTHEN. THIS...IN ADDITION TO JET ENERGY
BEGINNING TO NOSE IN FROM THE NORTHWEST ON THE TOES OF UPPER LEVEL
ENERGY PUSHING THROUGH THE TROUGH ASSOCIATED WITH THE SURFACE
LOW...WILL HELP TO KICK UP WINDS THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE BREEZY
CATEGORY...WITH GUSTS TO BETWEEN 35 AND 40 MPH POSSIBLE.

A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH IN FROM THE NORTHWEST SUNDAY AFTERNOON. THE
ETA IS A BIT SLOWER THAN THE GFS...BUT BOTH HAVE IT PUSHING IN
GENERALLY DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS. THIS WOULD SERVE WELL
TO TAP INTO BETTER UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS...WITH A WIND MAX CORE OF GREATER
THAN 100 KTS RIDING OVER THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA. AS
SUCH...WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA LOOKS TO BE A GOOD BET STARTING
TOMORROW NIGHT...AND LINGERING INTO SUNDAY AFTERNOON. HAVE ELECTED
TO LEAVE THE TWO WESTERN-MOST ZONES OUT OF THE ADVISORY FOR THE
TIME BEING...WHICH WILL NEED TO BE REEVALUATED THIS AFTERNOON...AS
WELL AS HOW THE SYSTEM IS EVOLVING...TO EVALUATE THE POTENTIAL FOR AN
UPGRADE. VERY LOW DEW POINTS WILL PUSH INTO THE CWA BEHIND THE
FRONT...BUT WITH THE TIMING OF THE FRONT...RH/S FOR NOW LOOK AS
THOUGH THEY WILL WILL REMAIN ABOVE 15%...AVOIDING RED FLAG
CRITERIA. THIS WILL ALSO WARRANT WATCHING AS THIS SYSTEM EVOLVES.

MAINLY ZONAL UPPER LEVEL FLOW WILL BE THE RULE BY TUESDAY
AFTERNOON...QUICKLY BRINGING 850 TEMPS AND LAYER THICKNESSES BACK
UP...AND TEMPERATURES BACK TO ABOVE NORMAL READINGS BY WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON. CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN DRY...WITH TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY
ABOVE...OR NEAR NORMAL THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST.

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS SATURDAY. MVFR TO LOCALLY IFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE
SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY OVER NORTHERN HALF OF RTE 195 DUE TO
A SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS. STRONG WINDS WILL CAUSE
CONSIDERABLE LOW LEVEL MECHANICAL TURBULENCE SATURDAY NIGHT AND
SUNDAY.
