AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EL PASO TX/SANTA TERESA NM
254 AM MST TUE DEC 25 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS NEW
MEXICO AND WESTERN TEXAS TODAY CAUSING WINDY CONDITIONS ALONG WITH
ISOLATED MOUNTAIN SNOW SHOWERS. COOLER TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO
OCCUR ON WEDNESDAY AFTER THE COLD FRONT PASSES. WINDY BUT MOSTLY
DRY WEATHER WILL OCCUR AGAIN ON THURSDAY AS ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM MOVES ACROSS THE SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL BRING DRY WEATHER AND MILD TEMPERATURES DURING THE WEEKEND.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
PROGRESSIVE WEATHER PATTERN WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE WESTERN
UNITED STATES THROUGH THE WEEK AS SERIES OF UPPER LOWS MOVES ACROSS
THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS. STRONG UPPER LOW NOW OVER UTAH WILL
INTENSIFY/AMPLIFY AS 140 KT UPPER JET STREAK IN WESTERN QUADRANT
FORCES SYSTEM TO DIG SOUTHWARD. LOW WILL SUBSEQUENTLY ADVANCE INTO
NORTHWESTERN NEW MEXICO LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND ACCELERATE
EASTWARD THROUGH THE CWA THIS EVENING. UPPER SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED
DYNAMICS WILL INDUCE SURFACE LOW OVER EXTREME SOUTHEASTERN NEW
MEXICO VICINITY WITH GRADIENT INCREASING FROM THE SURFACE TO MID
LEVELS. STRONG DYNAMIC LIFT AND ATTENDANT COOLING WILL GREATLY
STEEPEN LAPSE RATES WITH DRY ADIABATIC PROFILE FROM THE SURFACE TO
600 MB BY LATE AFTERNOON. AXIS OF MAXIMUM MID LEVEL WINDS WILL
EXTEND ACROSS THE SOUTHERN LOWLANDS LATE THIS AFTERNOON WITH SPEEDS
ATTAINING ADVISORY CRITERIA. ELSEWHERE WINDY CONDITIONS WILL ALSO
EXIST LATE FROM MID AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY EVENING. DESPITE LACK
OF MOISTURE STRONG DYNAMICS AND COOLING ALOFT COMBINED WITH
OROGRAPHIC FORCING WILL GENERATE PRECIP ACROSS HIGHER MOUNTAIN
AREAS.

TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE CWA THIS
EVENING WITH COOLER TEMPERATURES AND LIGHTER WINDS ON WEDNESDAY.
ANOTHER UPPER LOW AND TRAILING TROUGH WILL RACE EASTWARD ACROSS
THE CWA ON THURSDAY. THIS SYSTEM MAY PASS ACROSS THE REGION DURING
THE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON BEFORE PEAK MIXING AND HEATING BUT
NEAR WINDY CONDITIONS WILL STILL DEVELOP AS SURFACE LEE TROUGHING
IS INDUCED OVER EASTERN NEW MEXICO. LANDWARD TRAJECTORIES OF FLOW
AGAIN MEAN LITTLE MOISTURE OR PRECIP WILL OCCUR WITH SYSTEM.

WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT AND HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE WILL
COMBINE TO BRING MILD TEMPERATURES AND DRY WEATHER OVER THE
WEEKEND. HOWEVER MODELS HAVE BEEN RATHER CONSISTENT IN FORECASTING
STRONG BACK DOOR FRONTAL PASSAGE AND COLDER TEMPERATURES BY TUESDAY.
