AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EL PASO TX/SANTA TERESA NM
315 AM MST SAT MAR 18 2006

.SYNOPSIS...
STRONG SOUTHWEST FLOW AHEAD OF AN UPPER LOW OVER CALIFORNIA WILL
KEEP SOME HIGHER CLOUDINESS IN TODAY. WITH INCREASING WINDS ALOFT
THIS AFTERNOON...SURFACE WINDS AND BLOWING DUST ARE FORECAST TO
INCREASE ALSO. THE UPPER LOW NEARS NEW MEXICO SUNDAY MORNING AND
WILL PRODUCE SOME SHOWERS...MOSTLY NORTH AND WEST OF LAS CRUCES.
ADDITIONALLY WINDS AND COOLER TEMPERATURES WILL MOVE ACROSS THE
ENTIRE AREA. DRY WEST FLOW ALOFT WILL RETURN OVER THE AREA MONDAY
AND BRING TEMPERATURES BACK TO NORMAL OR ABOVE BY TUESDAY AND BEYOND.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
AREA REMAINING UNDER SUB-TROPICAL MOISTURE PLUME...PLUME ALMOST MADE
IT EAST OF CWA BUT ANOTHER WAVE OVER THE SONORAN DESERT HAS DRAWN
THE MID/HIGH MOISTURE BACK WESTWARD OVER THE AREA. GFS/ETA STILL
SHOWING THIS BAND CLEARING US BEGINNING IN THE WEST LATE THIS
MORNING AND EAST THIS AFTERNOON. WITH PRESSURE GRADIENT INCREASING
TODAY AND STRONG WINDS ALOFT WE COULD BE LOOKING AT WIND ADVISORY.
BUT BELIEVE THE CLOUDS WILL INHIBIT SOME MIXING...THEREFORE KEEPING
WINDS JUST BELOW ADV CRITERIA. GOOD LOW LEVEL WIND TRAJECTORY AND
WITH FAIRLY DECENT CONVECTIVE TURBULENCE TODAY SHOULD MAKE FOR
RATHER NASTY VSBY/DRIVING CONDITIONS. WILL GO AHEAD AND ISSUE A
BLOWING DUST ADVISORY FOR SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA AND LET NEXT
SHIFT RATCHET UP WINDS INTO ADV CATEGORY IF NEEDED.

LATE SEASON WINTER STORM STILL ON TRACK FOR LATE TONIGHT AND SUNDAY.
MAIN LOW REMAINS NORTH OF AREA BUT ENERGY CONTINUING AROUND BOTTOM
OF TROUGH AND DIGGING SOUTH OVER THE AREA. BEST CHANCES STILL NORTH
AND WEST. STILL SOME POTENTIAL FOR MODERATE SNOW OVER THE GILA
MOUNTAINS. PWS ARE PRETTY LOW BUT MODERATE INSTABILITY COULD
PRODUCE BRIEF HEAVY SNOW SHOWER LATER SUNDAY. WILL NOT ISSUE ANY
ADVISORY YET...BUT WILL LET NEXT SHIFT MONITOR THIS. NEITHER GFS/ETA
PUTTING OUT MUCH IN THE WAY OF SNOWFALL. COLD FRONT SHOULD PASS
THROUGH MUCH OF AREA BY LATE AFTERNOON...SO DESPITE BEING WINDY COLD
ADVECTION SHOULD INHIBIT MOST BLOWING DUST.

UPPER LOW MOVES EAST OF AREA RAPIDLY ON MONDAY FOR CLEARING SKIES.
AS FEARED YESTERDAY...THE NEWEST GFS HAS DEVIATED QUITE A BIT WITH
THE NEXT UPPER LOW NOW BRINGING IT WELL NORTH OF THE AREA ON
WEDNESDAY. HAVE TAKEN OUT POPS AND LESSENED CLOUD COVER ON WEDNESDAY
TO REFLECT THIS.

&&

.AVIATION...VALID 18/12Z-19/12Z
VFR CONDITIONS WITH HIGH CIGS OF CIRRUS THROUGH AFTERNOON. SFC WINDS
INCREASING BECOMING 23025G40KT WITH AREAS 3-5 MI BLDU AFT 18Z MAINLY
SOUTH OF A SVC-TCS-SRR LINE. DVLPG AFT 06Z NW DMN...BKN120 FEW -SHRA.
