...STRONG WINDS WILL RETURN AGAIN WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING
ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO AND FAR WEST TEXAS...

.ANOTHER APPROACHING UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH WILL MOVE OVER THE REGION
WEDNESDAY. AS IS TYPICAL THIS TIME OF YEAR THIS SYSTEM WILL INDUCE
TIGHTER PRESSURE GRADIENTS ALOFT AND AT THE SURFACE. THESE TIGHTER
PRESSURE GRADIENTS WILL CREATE STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS ACROSS THE
AREA THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS ON WEDNESDAY. BECAUSE
OF VERY DRY SOILS AND DEEP VERTICAL MIXING BLOWING DUST IS
EXPECTED TO REDUCE VISIBILITIES OVER MOST LOWLAND LOCATIONS. WINDY
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE UNTIL MID EVENING WHEN DIMINISH
TO BREEZY OVERNIGHT AS A PACIFIC COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE AREA
FROM THE WEST.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EL PASO TX/SANTA TERESA NM
305 PM MDT TUE APR 15 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
WINDY CONDITIONS WILL OCCUR THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS A LARGE TROUGH OF
LOW PRESSURE MOVES THROUGH THE WESTERN PART OF THE COUNTRY.
SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 25 TO 35 MPH WITH HIGHER GUSTS ARE EXPECTED ON
WEDNESDAY...ALONG WITH SOME BLOWING DUST. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN
ABOVE NORMAL...BUT A COOL FRONT MOVES THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING.
THIS WILL ALLOW THE WINDS TO DIMINISH FOR THURSDAY BUT WITH
TEMPERATURES COOLING TO JUST BELOW NORMAL. ANOTHER LARGE UPPER
TROUGH MOVES TO THE WESTERN STATES OVER THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL BRING
STRONG WINDS AGAIN TO THE BORDERLAND SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
SAME OLD MUSH WITH THE WEATHER PATTERN...DRY AND MOSTLY WINDY DAYS
IN STORE FOR THE AREA NEXT SEVEN DAYS. LARGE UPPER TROUGH NOW INLAND
OF THE WEST COAST AND IS KICKING UP WINDS INTO THE BREEZY CATEGORY
THIS AFTERNOON. TROUGH IS NEAR THE FOUR CORNERS ON WEDNESDAY. THIS
WILL HELP WITH GOOD LEE SIDE TROUGHING. THOUGH MID LEVEL WINDS NOT
REAL STRONG...SURFACE GRADIENT STILL FAIRLY TIGHT SO WILL ISSUE WIND
ADVISORY FOR WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. ASSOCIATED COOL FRONT MOVES
THROUGH THE AREA LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT ALONG WITH THE TROUGH. WINDS
WILL DIMINISH THURSDAY BUT EXPECT 10 TO 15 DEGREES OF COOLING.

NEXT UPPER TROUGH DEEPENS OVER THE WEST COAST FRIDAY. BY SATURDAY IT
CLOSES OFF A VERY DEEP LOW OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. SEVERAL SHORT
WAVES ROTATE AROUND THIS LOW AND HELP WITH CYCLOGENESIS ALONG THE
FRONT RANGE OF THE ROCKIES. THIS WILL ALLOW A MODERATE TO
OCCASIONALLY TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT TO DEVELOP OVER THE BORDERLAND.
EXPECT BREEZY TO WINDY SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...WITH MONDAY AND
TUESDAY LOOKING LIKE THE WINDIEST DAYS OF THE BUNCH.

&&

.AVIATION...VALID 16/00Z-17/00Z...
ANOTHER TROF APPROACHING INTER-MOUNTAIN WEST WILL CONTINUE TO BRING
INCREASING WINDS ALL AREAS. LOOK FOR SW WINDS 15 TO 25 KTS WITH
GUSTS TO 35 KTS TO CONTINUE AREA-WIDE TIL 16/02-04Z. AREAS PATCHY
BLDU PSBLE WITH LOWEST VSBYS TO 5SM FOR SOUTHERN LOWLAND AIRPORT
LOCATIONS THRU EARLY THIS EVENING. VISIBILITIES WED COULD DROP TO 2
SM IN BLDU WITH WINDS 25-30 KTS AND G45 KTS EXPECTED.  LOWEST VSBYS
TODAY AND WED WILL OCCUR GENERALLY S OF A KLRU-RADIUM SPRINGS-KALM
LINE.  VFR CONDTS OTHERWISE.  MDT OR GREATER TURBC SFC-10FT AGL NEAR
AND EAST OF AREA MTNS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
WINDS REMAIN PRINCIPAL CONCERN FOR CRITICAL FIRE CONDITIONS FOR THE
FORESEEABLE FUTURE.  EVEN HIGHER 20 FT WIND SPEEDS EXPECTED
WEDNESDAY...AS PRESSURE GRADIENTS STRENGTHEN AHEAD OF APPROACHING
TROUGH FROM THE WEST.   EFFICIENT MIXING UP TO ROUGHLY 12 KFT
AGL...WHERE 40 TO 45 MPH WINDS ARE ALREADY OCCURRING...WILL MEAN A
WINDY DAY ON WEDNESDAY.  WINDS WILL WEAKEN SOMEWHAT FRIDAY...AS
TRANSIENT HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE MOVES OVER OUR AREA.  AN INCREASE IN
WINDS AHEAD OF A MUCH LARGE TROUGH APPROACHING THE WEST THIS
WEEKEND...WILL MEAN THE POTENTIAL FOR CRITICAL FIRE CONDITIONS AGAIN
SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK.
