AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EL PASO TX/SANTA TERESA NM
324 AM MST FRI MAR 10 2006

.SYNOPSIS...
STRONG WEST TO SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL ALLOW WINDY AFTERNOONS AND
EVENINGS TO CONTINUE THROUGH SUNDAY. A WIND ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT
TODAY BEGINNING AT 11 AM. AS AN UPPER TROUGH MOVES THROUGH NEW
MEXICO SUNDAY A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP. THE TROUGH
MOVES EAST OF THE AREA MONDAY ALLOWING CLOUDS AND WINDS TO DIMINISH.
DRY WEST FLOW AFTER MONDAY WILL ALLOW MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES TO DEVELOP
AND TEMPERATURES BACK TO NORMAL BY TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
LARGE BROAD TROUGH CONTINUES TO DEVELOP AND DIG SOUTHWARD THIS
MORNING. TROUGH IS COVERING WESTERN THIRD OF THE U.S. AND SATELLITE
IMAGERY SHOWS PLENTY OF COLD AIR ALOFT WITHIN THIS TROUGH. WITH NEW
MEXICO AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS TROUGH NEXT 3 DAYS...WINDS AND BLOWING
DUST WILL BE THE MAIN PROBLEMS. WILL ISSUE WIND ADVISORY TODAY AS
BOTH GFS/ETA AND PROG SOUNDINGS SHOW GOOD WIND POTENTIAL. SATURDAY
WILL BE WINDY BUT NOT QUITE AS SURE WITH CONSISTENCY OF WINDS AS
STRONG MID LEVEL CORE OF WINDS IS A BIT SOUTH OF CWA AND HENCE
SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT MAY NOT BE AS TIGHT AS SURFACE TROUGHING
WILL TEND TO FORM ACROSS NORTHERN MEXICO NORTHWARD. BUT MID LEVEL
WINDS ARE ACTUALLY STRONGER SATURDAY. AM CONCERNED ABOUT EAST SLOPE
WINDS TONIGHT AND ESPECIALLY SATURDAY NIGHT. LOOK AT BUFKIT
SOUNDINGS SHOWS SOME CAPPING NEAR MOUNTAIN TOP LEVELS BOTH NIGHTS
AND WINDS OF 50-55 KTS. GUST POTENTIAL ALONG THESE EAST SLOPES OF
65-70 MPH FROM AROUND MIDNIGHT TO 6AM...BOTH TONIGHT AND SATURDAY
NIGHT.

THE LAST OF THE ENERGY MOVING THROUGH THE TROUGH IS OVER THE AREA
SUNDAY ALONG WITH SURFACE FRONT. THIS SHOULD BE THE ONLY CHANCE OF
SHOWERS AREA WIDE...THOUGH KEPT LOW POPS IN THE GILA BOTH SATURDAY
AND SUNDAY. FRONT EXITING TO THE EAST SHOULD FINALLY ALLOW THE WINDS
TO COME DOWN FOR SEVERAL DAYS STARTING MONDAY.PATTERN ALOFT FROM
MONDAY ON IS BASICALLY ZONAL. THIS SHOULD ALLOW PLENTY OF SUN AND
WARM TEMPERATURES BACK TO NORMAL AND ABOVE AFTER TUESDAY. GFS DOES
SHOW SOME SUB-TROPICAL MOISTURE TO WORK ITS WAY UP TO JUST SOUTH OF
THE CWA TUESDAY AND BEYOND BUT WILL NOT PLAY WITH THIS AT THIS TIME.
