NWS El Paso, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Aug 23, 1:50 PM MDT, 3 hours 5 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 23, 1:50 PM MDT, 3 hours 5 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EL PASO TX/SANTA TERESA NM
150 PM MDT THU AUG 23 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
AN APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM WILL COMBINE WITH ABUNDANT
MOISTURE AT THE SURFACE TO HELP DEVELOP SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS
THIS EVENING...HEAVY RAIN WITH SOME OF THE STORMS IS POSSIBLE.
RAIN CHANCES WILL DECREASE SOME FOR FRIDAY AND THE WEEKEND. WE
WILL CONTINUE TO SEE A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR RAIN INTO THE FIRST PART
OF NEXT WEEK WITH TEMPERATURES RUNNING A FEW DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
THIS HAS BEEN A SUMMER OF LOTS OF BLOWN OPPORTUNITIES FOR RAIN.
TODAY LOOKS TO BE ANOTHER GOOD CHANCE TO GET SOME RAIN...WE'LL SEE
WHAT HAPPENS. AN APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL MOVE INTO
NORTHERN NEW MEXICO LATER THIS EVENING. AS THIS SYSTEM MOVES IN IT
WILL HELP DESTABILIZE OUR ATMOSPHERE AND HELP GENERATE SOME
THUNDERSTORMS. IN ADDITION THIS MORNING'S SOUNDING GAVE US A PW
(PRECIPITABLE WATER) VALUE OF 1.41...WHICH IS WELL ABOVE NORMAL. A
FEW STORMS MAY PRODUCE SOME HEAVY RAINS SO ISOLATED FLOODING WILL
BE A POSSIBILITY. WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE JUST EXACTLY WHERE
THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL POP UP THIS EVENING. MOVEMENT WILL
GENERALLY BE FROM THE WEST TO THE EAST. ON FRIDAY...THOUGH THE
BEST DYNAMICS WILL HAVE MOVED EAST...WE WILL STILL SEE SOME OF THE
TROUGH HANGING BACK SO WE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE A CHANCE FOR
THUNDERSTORMS ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. FOR SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY WE WILL SEE A LITTLE DRIER AIR WORK INTO THE REGION WHICH
WILL AGAIN HELP REDUCE...BUT NOT ELIMINATE OUR RAIN CHANCES. FOR
THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK THE EXTENDED MODELS ARE IN A BIT OF A
DISAGREEMENT. THE GFS AND DGEX BUILD THE RIDGE DIRECTLY OVER NEW
MEXICO. THIS POSITION WILL CONTINUE TO REDUCE OR EVEN ELIMINATE
OUR RAIN CHANCES. BUT THE ECMWF HAS THE HIGH FURTHER TO OUR EAST
WHICH ALLOWS PLENTY OF MOISTURE TO SLIDE UP FROM THE SOUTH AND
CONTINUE OUR RAIN CHANCES. FOR NOW I WILL KEEP A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR
RAIN IN THE FORECAST FOR THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK AND WE WILL
HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE WHAT FUTURE FORECAST MODEL RUNS BRING.

TAKING A QUICK LOOK AT TEMPERATURES. WE WILL SEE NEAR NORMAL
TEMPERATURES ON FRIDAY. FOR THE WEEKEND AS WE BEGIN TO DRY OUT WE
WILL SEE HIGHS RUNNING A COUPLE OF DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL. FOR THE
FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK THE FORECAST IS A LITTLE TRICKY. IF THE
GFS WORKS OUT WE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE OUR SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES FOR THE WEEK...BUT IF THE ECMWF IS CORRECT WE COULD
ACTUALLY SEE SOME SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES. FOR NOW I'VE
GONE WITH PERSISTENCE AND HAVE KEPT THE SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES IN THE FORECAST.

&&

.AVIATION....VALID 24/00Z-25/00Z.
WEAK UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVING THROUGH AREA...WILL CONTINUE TO
GENERATE SCT SHRA/+TSRAGS/WND VRB30G45-50KT/SCT-BKN GIGS 060-080
AGL THROUGH FIRST PART OF THIS EVENING.  ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY
TRANSITION TO LOWLANDS AFT 01Z...WITH OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES DRIVING
ACTIVITY MAINLY OVER THESE AREAS EAST OF THE DIVIDE THROUGH 12Z. THE
TROUGH WILL USHER IN SLIGHTLY DRIER MORE STABLE AIR AFTER 18Z
FRIDAY.  THIS WILL MEAN MAINLY ISOLD SHRA/TSRAGS OVER AREA
MOUNTAINS. SCT ACTIVITY WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE FOR LOWLANDS IN
HUDSPETH AND EASTERN OTERO COUNTIES FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
A WEAK UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE MOVING THROUGH THE FOUR
CORNERS...WILL CONTINUE TO ENHANCE SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY
THIS EVENING.  ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY TRANSITION TO LOWLANDS EARLY...
WITH OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES DRIVING STORMS MAINLY OVER THESE AREAS EAST
OF THE DIVIDE THROUGH 6 AM.  HEAVY RAIN REMAINS THE MAIN THREAT...
ESPECIALLY ACROSS DRAINAGES IN THE GILA NATIONAL FOREST FROM THE
WHITEWATER-BALDY BURN COMPLEX. THIS INCLUDES LITTLE DRY CREEK...PINE
CREEK...SACATON CREEK...MOGOLLON AND TURKEY CREEK DRAINAGES.  IN THE
SACRAMENTO MOUNTAINS...THIS INCLUDES BONITO CREEK FROM THE LITTLE
BAER FIRE.

RELATIVELY DRIER MORE STABLE AIR WILL FOLLOW PASSAGE OF THE TROUGH
FRIDAY.  THIS WILL RESTRICT ACTIVITY TO MAINLY OVER THE MOUNTAINS
WEST OF THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY.  SCATTERED AFTERNOON ACTIVITY IS
EXPECTED ACROSS HUDSPETH AND EASTERN OTERO COUNTIES FRIDAY
AFTERNOON. ISOLATED AFTERNOON STORMS ARE FORECAST FOR ALL AREAS
SATURDAY. MIN RH FRIDAY WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER 20S ACROSS THE
LOWLANDS...TO 60 PERCENT OR MORE OVER THE HIGH COUNTRY.  RH SHOULD
FALL 8-12 PERCENT SATURDAY...WITH WEST-NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT EXPECTED
OVER THE AREA BEHIND THE TROUGH.  HAINES INDICES WILL RANGE FROM 2-3
TODAY AND FRIDAY...CLIMBING TO 4 ACROSS THE SOUTHERN DESERTS
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

THIS TROUGH MAY SEND A WEAK BACKDOOR COLD FRONT OUR WAY LATER
SUNDAY.  THIS COULD ENHANCE STORM ACTIVITY AGAIN FOR US SUNDAY
EVENING AND MONDAY.  TEMPERATURES WILL GENERALLY REMAIN 2-5 DEGREES
ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH MONDAY...POSSIBLY FALLING NEAR OF JUST BELOW
NORMAL BEGINNING TUESDAY WITH SOUTHEAST FLOW...BEHIND FRONTAL PASSAGE
SHOULD THIS OCCUR.
