AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EL PASO TX/SANTA TERESA NM
257 PM MST SAT NOV 27 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG PACIFIC LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL USHER IN MUCH COOLER AIR
FOR THE EARLY PART OF THE WEEK. IN ADVANCE...WINDS WILL BE STRONG
AND GUSTY ON SUNDAY CAUSING AREAS OF BLOWING DUST. BREEZY
CONDITIONS WITH TEMPERATURES MORE THAN 10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL
WILL MAKE IT FEEL QUITE COOL ON MONDAY. WINDS WILL DIMINISH BY
TUESDAY BUT TEMPERATURES WILL NOT RECOVER. FINALLY...A RIDGE OF
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRING A WARMING TREND WITH ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES IN PLACE LATE IN THE WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
VIGOROUS UPPER TROUGH WILL MOVE ACROSS THE ROCKIES SUNDAY AND
MONDAY BEFORE EXITING TUESDAY. TIGHT GRADIENTS THROUGH A DEEP
LAYER WILL INSURE STRONG GUSTY WINDS AT ADVISORY LEVELS SUNDAY
AFTERNOON DURING OPTIMUM MIXING TIME...THOUGH THE TIGHTEST
GRADIENTS AND STRONGEST WINDS ALOFT WILL ACTUALLY OCCUR AFTER
SUNSET PER12Z MODEL RUNS. ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY AREA WIDE FOR
SUNDAY PM...BUT HELD OFF ON A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR THE SOUTHERN SACS
DUE TO POTENTIAL LATER TIMING OF MAXIMUM WIND POTENTIAL. MIDNIGHT
FORECAST SHIFT WILL HAVE A BETTER IDEA.

COLD AIR ADVECTION IS IMPRESSIVE WITH THIS SYSTEM...THOUGH DRYNESS
OF AIR MASS WILL LIMIT POPS TO SLIGHT CHANCE OVER GILA AND SACS
MAINLY MONDAY. GRADIENTS WILL REMAIN TIGHT MONDAY BUT WITH LESS
MIXING AFTER COLD AIR MOVES IN EXPECT STRONG WINDS TO BE LIMITED
TO EASTERN SLOPES EARLY IN THE DAY. ELSEWHERE IT WILL BE BREEZY
AND 10 TO 12 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL FOR A CHILLY. GRADIENTS SLACKEN
THEREAFTER FOR A STILL COOL BUT MORE COMFORTABLE TUESDAY.

THE 12Z GFS HAS REALLY BACKED OFF ON THE TROUGH FOR NEXT WEEKEND.
IN FACT...IT BUILDS A STRONG RIDGE OVERHEAD WITH LIGHT WINDS AND
TEMPS 5 TO 10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL AFTER WEDNESDAY. THE 12Z ECMWF
DELAYS THE TROUGH UNTIL EARLY THE FOLLOWING WEEK. OTHERWISE IT
BRINGS A COUPLE OF MINOR IMPULSES ACROSS TO THE NORTH...BUT HARDLY
INTERRUPTS A NICE LATE WEEK AND WEEKEND. BRING IT ON.

&&

AVIATION...VALID 28/00Z-29/00Z.
P6SM SCT-BKN250 EXPECTED THRU MIDNIGHT TONIGHT...THEN P6SM
SKC-FEW250 OVERNIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING. WINDS TONIGHT BECOMING
SOUTHWEST AT 5 TO 10 KTS...INCREASING TO 25 TO 35 KTS SUNDAY WITH
GUSTS TO 45 KTS. THE STRONG WINDS WILL CAUSE AREAS OF BLOWING DUST
WITH VISIBILITY AT TIMES 1/2-1SM BLDU.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
AN APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL BRING STRONG WINDS ACROSS THE
AREA SUNDAY...AND WILL WARM TEMPERATURES UP TO SEVERAL DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL. VERY DRY AIR WITH HUMIDITY BELOW 15 PERCENT WILL REMAIN IN
PLACE EAST OF THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE SUNDAY...BUT HUMIDITY WILL
INCREASE TO ABOVE 15 PERCENT ACROSS THE BOOTHEEL AND THE GILA
REGION. THE STRONG WINDS AND LOW HUMIDITY...ALONG WITH HIGH FIRE
DANGER RATINGS...WILL CAUSE RED FLAG CONDITIONS FROM SUNDAY MORNING
THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING EAST OF THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE. BLOWING DUST
WILL ALSO BE A PROBLEM...MAINLY ACROSS LOWLAND DESERTS WEST OF LAS
CRUCES. A STRONG COLD FRONT MOVING IN BEHIND THAT TROUGH SUNDAY
NIGHT AND MONDAY WILL DROP TEMPERATURES BY 12 TO 18 DEGREES FOR
MONDAY AFTERNOON. MOST LOWLAND DESERT LOCATIONS WILL ONLY REACH THE
UPPER 40S ON MONDAY AFTERNOON. WARMING UP AGAIN BY MIDWEEK AS
ANOTHER RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OVER THE ROCKIES.
