AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EL PASO TX/SANTA TERESA NM
420 AM MDT THU APR 28 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
LITTLE CHANGE IN THE PATTERN FROM THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS. CONTINUED
WARM AND DRY...THOUGH THE END OF THE WEEKEND AND THE FIRST PART OF
NEXT WEEK WILL SEE COOLER TEMPERATURES. WITH LIGHTER WINDS ALOFT
OVER THE BORDERLAND TODAY WE WILL ENJOY ONE MORE LIGHT WIND DAY
BEFORE STRONGER WINDS MOVE IN FOR THE NEXT TWO DAYS. A STRONG UPPER
TROUGH AND SURFACE FRONT ARE THE CULPRITS...BRINGING GUSTY WINDS
BACK TO THE AREA FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. BLOWING DUST WILL ALSO
ACCOMPANY THESE WINDS...MOSTLY ON FRIDAY. COOL EAST WINDS WILL
DEVELOP ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY BEHIND THE UPPER TROUGH...USHERING IN
MAY WITH TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
SHORT WAVE RIDGE AXIS OVER US NOW AND WILL CONTINUE MOVING EAST AS
THE NEXT BIG UPPER TROUGH GATHERS STRENGTH TO OUR NORTHWEST. RIDGE
WAS NICE ENOUGH TO GIVE US A COUPLE OF DAYS OF SLACK WINDS BEFORE
THE ONSET OF STRONG WINDS AGAIN. UPPER TROUGH MOVES OVER THE GREAT
BASIN FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND THEN TO NEAR THE FOUR CORNERS SATURDAY
MORNING...BEFORE EXITING THE AREA SUNDAY MORNING. MEANWHILE A
SECONDARY UPPER TROUGH WILL DEVELOP OVER THE GREAT BASIN SUNDAY
MORNING AND MOVE OUT OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS MONDAY EVENING. AT THE
SURFACE WINDS ALOFT AHEAD OF THIS FIRST TROUGH WILL INDUCE
CYCLOGENESIS OVER SOUTHEAST COLORADO FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THIS WILL
INCREASE OUR WINDS INTO THE LOWER END OF WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA.
WILL ISSUE THAT ADVISORY SHORTLY. SURFACE FRONT WITH THIS TROUGH
LOOKS TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA SATURDAY MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON.
WINDS WILL REMAIN STRONG AHEAD OF THIS FRONT ON SATURDAY AS THE
SECONDARY UPPER TROUGH INDUCES PRESSURE FALLS OVER CENTRAL AND
EASTERN NEW MEXICO. ANOTHER ADVISORY MAY BE EVENTUALLY BE NEEDED FOR
SATURDAY AS WELL. FRONT PASSING THROUGH BY THE END OF THE AFTERNOON
SHOULD SLACKEN WINDS SOME.

AS THE SECOND UPPER TROUGH PASSES OUT INTO THE PLAINS...A BACK DOOR
COOL FRONT WILL DROP IN FROM THE NORTHEAST. THIS FRONT SHOULD BE IN
BY SUNDAY MORNING...ALTHOUGH COOLING EASTERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE
INTO TUESDAY. TEMPERATURES...ESPECIALLY MONDAY AND TUESDAY...SHOULD
BE SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW NORMAL FOR A COOL START TO MAY. MODELS
STILL TRYING WITH VARYING DEGREES TO EVENTUALLY BRING THE DRYLINE UP
INTO NORTHERN MEXICO/BIG BEND AREA AND EVENTUALLY TO NEAR HUDSPETH
COUNTY BY WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. MODEL CONSISTENCY ON THIS HAS BEEN
BAD AND WILL NOT EVEN ADDRESS THIS MUCH WITH THE ZONES.

&&

.AVIATION...VALID 28/12Z-29/12Z.
VFR THROUGH THE PERIOD. AFT 20Z...SURFACE WINDS INCREASING SW 10-15
KTS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
A WEAK RIDGE OVERHEAD TODAY WILL KEEP WINDS ON THE LIGHT
SIDE...THOUGH VERY DRY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE WITH EXTREME FIRE
DANGER. BACK TO STRONG WINDS ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AS AN UPPER
TROUGH MOVES OVER THE GREAT BASIN AND EVENTUALLY OUT OVER THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS SUNDAY MORNING. RED FLAG CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY
DEVELOP BOTH DAYS AND LOOK FOR THE FIRE WX WATCH TO BE UPGRADED
LATER THIS MORNING TO A RED FLAG WARNING. IN ADDITION TO THE STRONG
WINDS...HIGH TEMPERATURES ON FRIDAY WILL BE WAY ABOVE NORMAL AND MIN
RH'S WILL BE SINGLE DIGITS ALL ZONES...WITH RH'S BELOW 5% OVER THE
LOWLANDS. NOT MUCH CHANGE FOR SATURDAY OTHER THAN A FEW DEGREES
COOLER. SYSTEM FINALLY LIFTS OUT SUNDAY MORNING AND A BACK DOOR COOL
FRONT WITH EXTENDED LOW LEVEL EASTERLY FLOW WILL MOVE. THIS WILL
COOL SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY BACK TO SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES. THESE COOLER TEMPERATURES AND RELATIVELY LIGHT WINDS
WILL HELP SOME WITH THE FIRE SITUATION BUT EXTREME FIRE CONDITIONS
LIKELY WILL CONTINUE.
