AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EL PASO TX/SANTA TERESA NM
120 PM MDT WED APR 28 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
A DEEP LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WITH A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE
SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THIS STORM WILL
BRING VERY WINDY CONDITIONS ON THURSDAY WITH COOLER AND
OCCASIONALLY WINDY CONDITIONS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. THERE WILL ALSO
BE A FEW LOWLAND RAIN SHOWERS AND MOUNTAIN SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS THE
BORDERLAND THIS WEEKEND. HIGH PRESSURE WILL CAUSE WARMER DRIER
WEATHER LATER NEXT WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
DEEP UPPER TROUGH NOW COVERS THE WESTERN UNITED STATES WITH
LARGER SCALE VORTEX EXPECTED TO AMPLIFY AND EXPAND THROUGH
THURSDAY. FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEKEND THIS SYSTEM WILL REMAIN
OVER THE WEST WITH SERIES OF WAVES ROTATING AROUND THE PRIMARY
AXIS. INCREASING DOWN SLOPE WINDS HAVE ALREADY DEVELOPED WELL
DEFINED LEE SURFACE TROUGH WHICH EXTENDS THROUGH EASTERN NEW
MEXICO. THIS FEATURE PLUS WARM TEMPERATURES AND DEEP MIXING ARE
CONTRIBUTING TO WINDY CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON.

EMBEDDED SHORT WAVE WILL MOVE ACROSS NEW MEXICO THURSDAY AFTERNOON
AND EVENING WITH DIVERGENCE ALOFT...200 MB WARM ADVECTION AND
DOWN SLOPE FLOW GENERATING DEEP LEE CYCLOGENESIS OVER THE TEXAS
PANHANDLE. THUS SURFACE PRESSURES WILL FALL AROUND 12 MB ACROSS
THE CWA TOMORROW. WHILE LEE CYCLONE STRENGTHENS SURFACE PRESSURE
GRADIENTS FLOW ALOFT ALSO INTENSIFIES WITH 80 TO 90 KT WIND SPEEDS
AT 500 MB FROM LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING. MIXING HEIGHTS TO
650 MB WILL ALLOW STRONGER FLOW ALOFT TO PENETRATE TO THE SURFACE
RESULTING IN A HIGH WIND EVENT THURSDAY. INVERSION AROUND 600 MB
WILL ALSO INDUCE ESPECIALLY HIGH WIND GUSTS ALONG THE EASTERN
SLOPES INCLUDING EASTERN PORTIONS OF EL PASO. THUS THE WIND WATCH
HAS BEEN UPGRADED TO A WARNING.

UPPER WAVE AND A RATHER STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE CWA
LATE THURSDAY WITH COLD ADVECTION LOWERING FRIDAYS HIGH
TEMPERATURES 15 TO 20 DEGREES. GRADIENTS WILL ALSO REMAIN STRONG
ENOUGH FOR WINDY CONDITIONS AGAIN ON FRIDAY THOUGH WIND SPEEDS
WILL BE NEAR ADVISORY LEVELS AT MOST. BUT ANOTHER UPPER WAVE WITH
A POSSIBLE CLOSED LOW WILL MOVE ACROSS ARIZONA INTO NEW MEXICO
LATER FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WITH THIS FEATURE PRODUCING ISOLATED
LOWLAND RAIN SHOWERS AND EVEN SOME HIGHER MOUNTAIN SNOW SHOWERS
OVER THE WEEKEND.

LONGER RANGE GUIDANCE SUGGESTS WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL
FINALLY BRING WARMER DRY WEATHER BY NEXT WEDNESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...VALID 29/00Z-30/00Z.
WESTERLY WINDS OF 15-25KTS WITH GUSTS TO 30KTS WILL SLOWLY DECREASE
THRU 06Z. WEST TO SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL INCREASE QUICKLY AFTER 14Z
WITH 25-40G50KTS LIKELY THRU THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD. COULD SEE
SOME GUSTS OVER 60KTS ON EAST SLOPES OF MTS AND MOST NOTABLE AT
KELP. BLDU WILL ALSO BECOME A FACTOR AFTER 14Z WITH SOME AREAS
SEEING VSBYS NEAR ZERO AT TIMES. FEW-SCT200-250 WILL GIVE WAY TO SKC
BY 12Z.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
WINDY AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA
THROUGH FRIDAY AS A STRONG PACIFIC STORM SYSTEM MOVES ACROSS THE
ROCKIES. RED FLAG CONDITIONS LIKELY FOR THURSDAY AGAIN WITH A
WARNING NOW IN EFFECT...HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE GILA COULD SEE
MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITIES JUST ABOVE CRITICAL VALUES BUT LOWER
ELEVATIONS WILL LIKELY EXPERIENCE RED FLAG CONDITIONS. TEMPERATURES
WILL BE MUCH COOLER ON FRIDAY THAN THURSDAY...BUT AREAS ALONG AND
EAST OF THE RIO GRANDE COULD CONTINUE TO BE NEAR CRITICAL VALUES.
TEMPERATURES WILL START TO REBOUND SLOWLY EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH MUCH
LIGHTER WINDS FOR SUNDAY BUT MORE BREEZY CONDITIONS RETURNING FOR
MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
