The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS El Paso, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 2, 3:41 PM MDT, 2 hours 31 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 2, 3:41 PM MDT, 2 hours 31 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EL PASO TX/SANTA TERESA NM 341 PM MDT THU JUN 2 2011 .SYNOPSIS... ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE ACROSS FAR WEST TEXAS AND NEARBY NEW MEXICO THIS EVENING...MAINLY FOCUSED NEAR AND EAST OF THE US-54 CORRIDOR. AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM MAY AFFECT PARTS OF THE CITY OF EL PASO AS WELL. STRONG GUSTY WINDS WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREAT WITH THESE STORMS. THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL DECREASE FRIDAY AS UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE SHIFTS TO THE EAST. HOWEVER... ANOTHER SURGE OF MOISTURE WILL RESULT IN INCREASING PRECIPITATION CHANCES EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH THUNDERSTORM CHANCES SPREADING FARTHER WEST. && .DISCUSSION... THE BORDERLAND REGION REMAINS STUCK BETWEEN A DEEP UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE WEST COAST...AND A STRONG UPPER RIDGE WHICH SPRAWLS ACROSS NORTHERN MEXICO INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES. MID-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE CONTINUES TO STREAM UP INTO THE AREA ON SOUTH-SOUTHWEST WINDS. THIS MOISTURE TAP IS BECOMING A LITTLE ANEMIC...AND IS MAINLY FROM RECYCLED MOISTURE FROM UPSTREAM CONVECTION OVER MEXICO THE PAST FEW DAYS. THE UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE PLUME WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT EAST/WEST THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS...WHILE IT CONTINUES TO WEAKEN...UNLESS OF COURSE IT CAN GET A RE-CHARGE OF SORTS...MORE ON THAT LATER. IN THE MEANTIME...IT IS DIFFICULT TO DISCERN ANY STRONG EMBEDDED SHORTWAVE DISTURBANCES UPSTREAM IN WATER VAPOR IMAGERY THIS AFTERNOON... BUT THERE IS BOUND TO BE SOME SORT OF WEAK VORTMAX GIVEN THE CYCLONIC FLOW. 12Z UPPER AIR ANALYSES SHOWED COOLER TEMPS ALOFT...WITH -10C AT EMPALME... SUGGESTING A WEAK THERMAL TROUGH AT THAT TIME SOUTH OF ARIZONA. ALSO NOTE 50-KNOT JET AT H5 NUDGES INTO NORTHERN NEW MEXICO. VIS SATELLITE SHOWS WIDESPREAD STREAKS OF ALTO-CU ACROSS WESTERN NEW MEXICO...POSSIBLY INDICATING A WEAK AND ELONGATED VORT-LOBE. MOISTURE AT H7 CLEARLY INDICATES THE DRYING TREND. 850 DEWPOINTS AND WINDS SHOW THE BEST GULF MOISTURE IS BEING DEFLECTED TO OUR EAST. SURFACE MESONET PLOTS SHOW DIFFUSE MOISTURE GRADIENT...WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE TEENS OVER GRANT/HIDALGO COUNTIES...30S ACROSS ALL BUT THE FAR SOUTHEAST CORNER OF DONA ANA COUNTY... AND LOW/MID 40S FARTHER SOUTH AND EAST. WIND FIELDS SUGGEST MODEST CONVERGENCE LINE ROUGHLY LOCATED ALONG THE TULAROSA BASIN. THUNDERSTORMS AGAIN INITIATED JUST OUTSIDE OUR CWA THIS AFTERNOON... PRIMARILY OVER EAST-CENTRAL NEW MEXICO AND ALL ALONG THE SIERRA MADRES FROM CENTRAL CHIHUAHUA INTO DURANGO. THESE STORMS HAVE SINCE MOVED TO WITHIN ABOUT 100 MI OF THE RIO GRANDE. WEAKER CONVECTION HAS BEEN RECENTLY TRYING TO BUBBLE UP OVER SE EL PASO AND FAR SOUTHERN HUDSPETH COUNTIES IN THE PAST 30 MINUTES. ALSO OF NOTE IS THE LINE OF HIGH-LEVEL VIRGA ON RADAR STRETCHING FROM THE BOOTHEEL UP INTO CENTRAL NM. OVERALL...EXPECT MAIN CLUSTER OF STORMS IN MEXICO TO CONTINUE TO SLIDE NORTHEAST. AS OUTFLOWS SPREAD AHEAD OF THESE STORMS...THEY WILL LIKELY AID IN NEW DEVELOPMENT OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN IN SOUTHERN HUDSPETH COUNTY...AND IN THE MOUNTAINS JUST SOUTHWEST OF THE RIO GRANDE. THE MAIN FOCUS FOR THESE STORMS WILL BE ALONG THE WESTERN EDGE OF MOISTER AIR...WITH THE WEST EDGE OF SFC-700 MB THETA-E RIDGE BEING A GOOD PROXY. THIS WOULD FAVOR KEEPING THE STORMS FOCUSED EAST OF EL PASO...BUT AN ISOLATED CELL COULD STILL AFFECT THE CITY LIMITS. ALSO...THE 40 DEWPOINTS ARE SURPRISINGLY STILL HANGING ON AT SANTA TERESA AND CHAPARRAL. BOTTOM LINE...10 POPS WEST EL PASO...20S FOR EAST EL PASO... 30S TO 40S FOR EAST/SOUTHEAST EL PASO COUNTY INTO HUDSPETH...THE OTERO MESA...AND CLIPPING THE SOUTHERN SACS. STRONG GUSTY WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT...MAINLY DUE TO THE DRY LOW-LEVELS AS WINDS ALOFT ARE NOT AS STRONG AS YESTERDAY. ISOLATED SEVERE-CRITERIA WINDS FROM MICROBURSTS WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THIS EVENING. UPPER LEVEL PATTERN WILL SUPPORT SHIFTING THE WEAKENING MOISTURE PLUME FARTHER EAST TOMORROW...WITH PRECIP MAINLY ISOLATED OVER HUDSPETH AND OTERO COUNTIES...AND FAVORING THE HIGHER TERRAIN. FOR THE WEEKEND...UPPER PATTERN WILL BECOME MORE AMPLIFIED... ALLOWING UPPER FLOW TO BACK MORE TO THE SOUTH...PULLING THE MOISTURE PLUME BACK FARTHER TO THE WEST. OF NOTE IS AN INVERTED UPPER TROUGH/TUTT... REMNANTS OF AN OLD MCS... TRAVERSING THE GULF OF MEXICO SOUTH OF THE UPPER RIDGE. MODELS BRING THIS FEATURE INTO THE CENTRAL MEXICO-GULF COAST...AS THE UPPER RIDGE AXIS BUILDS ACROSS NORTHEASTERN MEXICO. HOWEVER...ENHANCED UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE WILL ADVECT INTO SOUTHERN TEXAS AND NEARBY MEXICO... RESULTING IN A SURGE OF LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE ACROSS OUR AREA LATE SATURDAY NIGHT... AND AN INCREASE IN CONVECTION OVER THE SIERRA MADRES DEEPER IN MEXICO THIS WEEKEND. THIS WILL HELP RECHARGE THE MID-LEVEL MOISTURE SOURCE...FOR LACK OF A BETTER PHRASE... INCREASING PRECIP CHANCES OVER OUR AREA EARLY NEXT WEEK. && .AVIATION...VALID 03/00Z-04/00Z. VFR THROUGH THE PERIOD XCPT NEAR THUNDERSTORMS. WINDS MAINLY EAST TO SOUTHEAST AT 5 TO 15 KNOTS. EXPECT FEW-SCT080-120CB SCT-BKN250 4SM TSRA OVER FAR WEST TEXAS AND ACROSS CENTRAL AND EASTERN OTERO COUNTY UNTIL AROUND MIDNIGHT. && .FIRE WEATHER... HIGH PRESSURE ALONG THE GULF COAST HAS PUSHED MOIST AIR INTO FAR WEST TEXAS AND AREAS OF NEW MEXICO EAST OF THE RIO GRANDE. THIS WILL ALLOW ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EAST OF THE RIO GRANDE THIS EVENING...AND AGAIN FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. HOWEVER...LOWER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE ARE STILL RATHER DRY...MAKING STRONG DOWNBURST WINDS AND DRY LIGHTNING A CONCERN WITH ANY STORMS THAT DEVELOP THIS EVENING AND TOMORROW. AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE EXTENDING SOUTHWARD FROM A STORM PASSING BY TO OUR NORTH WILL CAUSE STRONG WINDS OF 20 TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS NEAR 35 MPH ACROSS THE GILA REGION THIS EVENING. THE STRONG WINDS ...COMBINED WITH HUMIDITY IN THE SINGLE DIGITS TO LOW TEENS AND FIRE DANGER RATINGS OF VERY HIGH...WILL CAUSE CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS. MOIST AIR WILL SHIFT FURTHER EAST FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND WITH ONLY ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED STORMS EXPECTED ACROSS FAR WEST TEXAS AND EASTERN OTERO COUNTY...INCLUDING THE SACRAMENTO MOUNTAINS. HUMIDITY THE NEXT FEW DAYS WILL REMAIN IN THE SINGLE DIGITS TO LOW TEENS WEST OF THE RIO GRANDE AND IN THE TEENS AND 20S FARTHER EAST. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL FRIDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH GENERALLY LIGHT WINDS. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
