AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EL PASO TX/SANTA TERESA NM
401 AM MDT FRI MAY 27 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
AN ENHANCED WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL SET UP WINDY CONDITIONS IN
ACROSS THE BORDERLAND  THROUGH THE WEEKEND. VERY WARM
TEMPERATURES WILL OCCUR THE NEXT FEW DAYS WITH A SOME LOWLAND
DESERT AREAS APPROACHING 100 DEGREES IN THE AFTERNOON TODAY. AN
UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM PASSING NORTH OF THE AREA WILL GENERATE
STRONG WINDS ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON WITH BLOWING DUST POSSIBLE. WINDS
WILL DIMINISH ON MONDAY WITH LOWER TEMPERATURES EXPECTED. MOISTURE
IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE REGION FROM THE SOUTH AND EAST BY
TUESDAY. THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS FOR TUESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH THURSDAY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
MODELS ARE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT IN A STRENGTHENING OF THE WESTERLY
ZONAL FLOW OVER THE REGION FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. THE
INCREASED FLOW WILL HELP DEVELOP SURFACE LOWS EAST OF THE AREA
THAT WILL RESULT IN INCREASED WIND SPEEDS ACROSS THE BORDER
REGION. WESTERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 20 TO 30 MPH THIS
AFTERNOON AND AGAIN TOMORROW. VERY WARM TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED
THIS AFTERNOON WITH SOME LOCATIONS APPROACHING 100 DEGREES.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE A COUPLE OF DEGREES COOLER ON SATURDAY.

AN APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL GET CLOSER TO THE STATE ON
SUNDAY. AS IT DOES...THE FLOW WILL BECOME MORE SOUTHWESTERLY AND
WILL INCREASE. WIND SPEEDS OF 25 OT 35 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 45 MPH
ARE EXPECTED...ALONG WITH BLOWING DUST. WINDS MAY STAY UP
SUNDAY NIGHT AS THE SYSTEM PASSES BY TO THE NORTH. WINDS WILL
DIMINISH SOMEWHAT ON MONDAY WITH WINDY CONDITIONS IN THE MORNING
AND DIMINISHING IN THE AFTERNOON. COOLER TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO
OCCUR.

IN THE LONGER RANGE FORECAST...MODELS CONTINUE TO PROJECT AN
INFLUX OF MOISTURE FROM THE EAST ON TUESDAY AS A RESULT OF A
STRENGTHENING HIGH OVER THE GULF STATES. THE PATTERN WILL REDIRECT
GULF MOISTURE TOWARD OUR AREA WHILE AT THE SAME TIME A SOUTHWEST
FLOW CONTINUES OVER THE WEST PART OF THE COUNTRY...FUNNELING THE
MOISTURE ACROSS NEW MEXICO. CONVECTIVE PARAMETERS INDICATE THE
AIR MASS MAY BE MOIST AND UNSTABLE ENOUGH TO PRODUCE ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY EAST OF EL PASO TUESDAY
AFTERNOON...SPREADING WEST ACROSS THE REGION TUESDAY NIGHT. THE
CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAY CONTINUE INTO WEDNESDAY
AND POSSIBLY THURSDAY. HOWEVER THE MOISTURE WILL BECOME LESS
CONCENTRATED WITH TIME AND THE HIGH EXPECTED TO BUILD OVER THE
REGION...FURTHER SUPPRESSING THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY.

&&

.AVIATION...VALID 27/12Z-28/12Z...
VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE VALID PERIOD. WESTERLY SFC
WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 15 TO 25 KNOTS WITH GUSTS TO 35 KNOTS AFT
16Z AND WILL PEAK AROUND 23Z. STRONGER WINDS WILL LINGER LONGER AT
KEPZ...TO 06Z.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
VERY DRY AND WARM CONDITIONS WITH LOW HUMIDITY VALUES WILL PERSIST
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. A STRENGTHENING WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL
INCREASE SURFACE WIND SPEEDS ABOVE CRITICAL THRESHOLDS TODAY AND
SATURDAY. THE FLOW PATTERN WILL BECOME MORE SOUTHWESTERLY ON
SUNDAY WITH STRONGER WINDS AND BLOWING DUST EXPECTED. RED FLAG
CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY FOR ALL ZONES DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING FOR FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. WINDS WILL LESS STRONG ON
MONDAY WITH COOLER TEMPERATURES. LONGER RANGE MODELS PROJECT AN
INFLUX OF MOISTURE FROM THE SOUTH AND EAST FOR EASTERN ZONES BY
TUESDAY AND SOUTHWEST NEW MEXICO FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. THE
INCREASED MOISTURE WILL RAISE HUMIDITY VALUES ABOVE CRITICAL
THRESHOLDS FOR MOST AREAS AT THAT TIME. ON THE DOWNSIDE THE
INCREASED MOISTURE WILL RAISE THE RISK OF THUNDERSTORMS AND
POSSIBLE LIGHTNING STRIKES FOR TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.
