AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EL PASO TX/SANTA TERESA NM
344 AM MST MON JAN 7 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A BROAD TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE THROUGH THE STATE TODAY
AND GENERATE HIGH MOUNTAIN SNOW SHOWERS AND STRONG WINDS ALONG THE
LOWLAND DESERTS. WINDS AND SHOWERS WILL DIMINISH TONIGHT. A WEST
FLOW ALOFT WILL MAINTAIN DRY PATTERN WITH PERIODIC HIGH CLOUDS
FOR TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL
GENERATE BREEZY CONDITIONS ON WEDNESDAY. DAY TIME TEMPERATURES
WILL REMAIN NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMALS THROUGH FRIDAY. COOLER
TEMPERATURES WILL OCCUR ON THE WEEKEND AS PART OF A NORTH FLOW.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES A BROAD TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE
CONTINUING TO MOVE EAST FROM THE GREAT BASIN INTO THE ROCKIES
TODAY. THE TRACK OF THE SYSTEM WILL RESULT IN A CONTINUING CHANCE
FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS FOR THE NORTHERN ZONES OF THE FORECAST AREA
AND STRONG WINDS FOR THE SOUTHERN ZONES ALONG THE BORDER. SNOW
LEVELS REMAIN HIGH...ABOVE 7000 FEET...WITH LITTLE CHANCE FOR SNOW
BELOW THAT ELEVATION. WILL KEEP PREVIOUSLY ISSUED SNOW ADVISORY
IN EFFECT WITH EMPHASIS ON SNOW ACCUMULATIONS FOR HIGHER
ELEVATIONS. LOWLAND AREAS NEAR THE MOUNTAINS WILL SEE SOME
SCATTERED LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS OFF AND ON TODAY.

STRONG SURFACE WINDS WILL BE A PROBLEM FOR ZONES ALONG THE BORDER.
WHILE THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL NOT TIGHTEN UNTIL THIS
AFTERNOON...STRONGER WINDS ALOFT...ASSOCIATED WITH THE TROUGH...
WILL MIX DOWN AND ENHANCE WIND SPEEDS AND GUSTS. WITH THAT IN MIND
WILL ISSUE A LOW LEVEL WIND ADVISORY FOR THIS AFTERNOON WITH WIND
SPEEDS EXPECTED TO JUST REACH CRITERIA. BOTH SHOWERS AND WINDS
WILL DIMINISH TONIGHT AS THE TROUGH MOVES EAST.

FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK THE REGION WILL BE UNDER A WEST FLOW
ALOFT. DRY CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL WITH ONLY PERIODIC HIGH
LEVEL MOISTURE AND CLOUDS STREAMING ACROSS THE AREA. A SHORT WAVE
TROUGH EMBEDDED IN THE FLOW WILL MOVE ACROSS THE STATE ON
WEDNESDAY. WHILE THERE IS LITTLE CHANCE FOR PRECIP FROM THIS
SYSTEM...INCREASED CLOUDINESS AND BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL BE
POSSIBLE. COOLER CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS WEEKEND AS THE
FLOW BECOMES MORE ORIENTED FROM THE NORTH. THIS WILL ALLOW COLD
FRONTS INTO THE REGION THAT WILL LOWER TEMPERATURES FOR SATURDAY
THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...VALID 07/12Z-08/12Z
GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH PERIOD. AREAS OF MVFR AND IFR
OVER THE MOUNTAINS DUE LOW CIGS AND VSBY IN SCATTERED SNOW
SHOWERS. MTN TOPS NEAR KTCS AND KSVC MAY BE OBSCURED. STRONG
SURFACE WINDS WITH PATCHES OF BLOWING DUST THIS AFTERNOON OVER
LOWLAND DESERTS ALONG THE BORDER. POSSIBLE LLWS AND MODERATE
TURBULENCE DUE TO STRONG WINDS ALOFT.
