AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EL PASO TX/SANTA TERESA NM
441 AM MST SUN MAR 7 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM WILL SPREAD LOWLAND RAIN SHOWERS AND
MOUNTAIN SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS THE AREA TODAY THROUGH MONDAY. WE
WILL SEE BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS BOTH MONDAY AND WEDNESDAY.
TEMPERATURES THIS WEEK WILL RUN BELOW NORMAL. BY THE END OF THE
WEEK INTO NEXT WEEKEND WE WILL SEE WARMER...DRIER DAYS WITH NEAR
NORMAL TEMPERATURES.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
AND THE WINTER WEATHER JUST KEEPS ROLLING ON. ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH IS POISED TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT. OUT AHEAD OF THE
SYSTEM TODAY WE WILL SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.
SINCE WE ARE STILL COOL ALOFT THOSE THUNDERSTORMS WILL HAVE THE
POTENTIAL TO KICK OUT SOME SMALL HAIL. STARTING THIS EVENING WE
WILL SEE SNOW FALL IN THE MOUNTAINS. I'VE ISSUED A SNOW ADVISORY
FOR BOTH THE GILA AND SACRAMENTO MOUNTAINS. LOOKS LIKE SNOW LEVELS
WILL BE AROUND 6000 FEET. I'M EXPECTING 1 TO 3 INCHES IN THE
GILA...WITH UP TO 5 INCHES ABOVE 7000. IN THE SACS WE COULD SEE
ANOTHER 3 TO 5 INCHES OF SNOW ABOVE 7000. THE LOW WILL BE A LITTLE
SLOW SO IT WILL DRIFT ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT AND MOST OF MONDAY.
THE TROUGH WILL HELP GENERATE A LEE SURFACE TROUGH ON MONDAY WHICH
WILL HELP KICK IN SOME WINDY CONDITIONS IN THE AFTERNOON.

AFTER THE LOW GOES BY OUR WEATHER PATTERN WILL STAY ACTIVE AS A
SERIES OF TROUGHS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION. THERE
WILL BE ONE QUICK MOVING SYSTEM ON TUESDAY AND ANOTHER ON
WEDNESDAY. BOTH SYSTEMS DON'T LOOK LIKE THE WILL GIVE US MUCH
CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION...BUT THEY DO LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE THE
POTENTIAL TO GIVE US SOME BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS. IN ADDITION
TO THE WINDS THE TROUGHS WILL HELP USHER IN COOLER AIR FROM THE
NORTH SO WE WILL BE COOL FOR MUCH OF THE COMING WEEK. BY THE END
OF THE WEEK IT LOOKS LIKE A ZONAL FLOW WILL RETURN TO THE AREA
WHICH WILL HELP KEEP US DRY AND WARM US UP AS WE HEAD INTO NEXT
WEEKEND.

LOOKING AT TEMPERATURES...TODAY WITH THE CLOUDS AND THUNDERSTORMS
WE WILL SEE AFTERNOON HIGHS RUNNING AROUND FIVE DEGREES BELOW
NORMAL. ON MONDAY AS THE TROUGH BEGINS TO EXIT THE REGION WE WILL
SEE THE COOLER AIR BEGIN TO SLIP IN SO OUR HIGHS WILL RUN AROUND
TEN TO TWELVE DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY WE WILL
SEE HIGHS RUNNING AROUND SIX TO EIGHT DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. FOR
THE END OF THE WEEK WE WILL SEE OUR HIGHS WARM BACK TO SEASONAL
NORMALS.

&&

.AVIATION...07/12Z-08/12Z
AN APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM WILL LOWER CEILINGS TODAY.
THERE WILL BE SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS WITH EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS
IN THE LOWLANDS WITH SNOW SHOWERS LIKELY IN AREA MOUNTAINS. BY
THIS AFTERNOON CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES MAY OCCASIONALLY DIP
INTO THE MVFR CATEGORY. DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...AGAIN MVFR
CEILINGS AND VISIBLITIES WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH A CHANCE FOR SOME
BRIEF IFR CONDITIONS. THE FEW THUNDERSTORMS THAT DO POP UP THIS
AFTERNOON WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING STRONG SURFACE WINDS AND
SMALL HAIL.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM IS POISED TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA
DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS. THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING LOWLAND RAIN
SHOWERS AND MOUNTAIN SNOW SHOWERS TO THE AREA. SNOW LEVELS WILL BE
AROUND 6K WITH THREE TO FIVE INCHES OF SNOW POSSIBLE ABOVE 7K.
MONDAY WE WILL BEGIN TO SEE PRECIPITATION TAPER OFF IN THE
AFTERNOON BUT WE WILL SEE BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS. WE WILL SEE
DRIER AIR BEGIN TO MOVE INTO THE AREA AFTER MONDAY. ON WEDNESDAY
WE WILL SEE ANOTHER ROUND OF BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS. WE WILL
APPROACH RED FLAG CONDITIONS IN THE LOWLANDS...BUT RIGHT NOW IT
LOOKS LIKE WE WILL BE JUST MOIST ENOUGH TO AVOID REACHING CRITICAL
FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS. THE END OF THE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND
LOOKS TO CONTINUE THE DRY WEATHER...BUT WINDS DON'T LOOK TO BE
MUCH OF A FACTOR.
