AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EL PASO TX/SANTA TERESA NM
403 AM MDT TUE MAY 17 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A COMPLEX LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WITH A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SLOWLY
ACROSS THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. THIS STORM WILL
BRING WINDY CONDITIONS AND BLOWING DUST TO SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO
THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH THURSDAY. HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT WILL RESULT
IN WARM DRY BREEZY WEATHER FRIDAY AND SATURDAY BUT ANOTHER LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL CAUSE WINDS TO INCREASE AGAIN SUNDAY AND
MONDAY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES REQUIRED TO EARLIER FORECAST AS LATEST
DATA AND MODEL SOLUTIONS INDICATE A PROLONGED WINDY PERIOD FOR
SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO AND WESTERN TEXAS BEGINNING THIS AFTERNOON.
UNSEASONABLY DEEP UPPER LOW WILL BECOME ORGANIZED ALONG WEST COAST
TODAY BUT WITH A SERIES OF SHORT WAVES EJECTING ACROSS THE GREAT
BASIN AND SOUTHERN ROCKIES TODAY/TONIGHT. UPPER DYNAMICS AND
DOWN SLOPE FLOW WILL GENERATE LEE CYCLONE OVER EASTERN NEW MEXICO
TODAY WHICH WILL MOVE VERY SLOWLY INTO THE TEXAS PANHANDLE THROUGH
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. STRENGTHENING GRADIENTS BOTH AT THE SURFACE
AND ALOFT WILL THUS INDUCE WINDY CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON BUT
WITH WINDS EXPECTED TO REMAIN MOSTLY BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA.

TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY UPPER LOW WILL MOVE ACROSS NEVADA INTO
NORTHERN ARIZONA WITH STRONG DPVA/UPWARD FORCING SPREADING ACROSS
THE CWA AS 100 KT JET AXIS EXTENDS INTO NEW MEXICO. APPROACH OF
SYSTEM WILL CAUSE GRADIENTS AND WINDS TO FURTHER INCREASE TOMORROW
WITH SPEEDS AT LEAST AT ADVISORY LEVELS. LITTLE MOISTURE INFLOW
WILL OCCUR DUE TO CONTINENTAL TRAJECTORIES BUT DEEP LIFT MAY
PRODUCE ISOLATED RAINS/HIGH MOUNTAINS SNOWS OVER NORTHWEST ZONES.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT/THURSDAY THE UPPER LOW WILL LIFT TO THE NORTHEAST
WITH AN ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT MOVING ACROSS NEW MEXICO AND WESTERN
TEXAS. TEMPERATURES SHOULD THUS COOL TO AROUND 10 DEGREES BELOW
NORMAL THURSDAY. SECONDARY VORT MAX ALOFT COMBINED WITH LEE
TROUGHING TO THE EAST SHOULD SUPPORT WINDY CONDITIONS AGAIN
THURSDAY WITH SPEEDS NEAR ADVISORY CRITERIA. UPPER RIDGE WILL
SUBSEQUENTLY CAUSE WARMING TEMPERATURES WITH SOMEWHAT LIGHTER
WINDS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY BUT BOTH GFS AND ECMWF FORECAST YET
ANOTHER DEEP TROUGH MOVING INTO THE SOUTHWEST WHICH WILL GENERATE
STRONG WINDS SUNDAY AND MONDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...VALID 17/12Z-18/12Z
