AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EL PASO TX/SANTA TERESA NM
210 PM MST THU JAN 10 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES WILL BE RETURNING TO THE BORDERLAND BY
THE WEEKEND AND BE HERE TO STAY FOR SOME TIME. A COLD FRONT WILL
MOVE THROUGH THE REGION ON FRIDAY AND BRING GUSTY WINDS AND A
CHANGE FOR SNOW SHOWERS OVER THE GILA REGION. DAYTIME HIGHS IN THE
40S AND LOWS IN THE TEENS AND 20S WILL BE COMMON FOR THE WEEKEND
INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. THE NEXT CHANCE FOR ANY WIDESPREAD
PRECIPITATION COULD BE WEDNESDAY WHICH WOULD FALL IN THE FORM OF
SNOW FOR ALL AREAS.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN ACROSS THE WESTERN U.S. OVER THE NEXT
WEEK...BUT IT WILL NOT RESULT IN MUCH SENSIBLE WEATHER ACROSS THE
CWA EXCEPT FOR PROLONG BELOW NORMAL TEMPS AND HIT AND MISS SNOW
SHOWERS. ALREADY SEEING CLOUDS ASSOCIATED WITH NEXT DIGGING TROUGH
ENTERING THE GREAT BASIN OVER REGION THIS AFTERNOON. SOUTHWEST
WINDS WILL BE INCREASING TONIGHT IN RESPONSE TO THIS SYSTEM.
MODELS INDICATING INVERSION SETTING UP OVER SACS TOWARD MORNING
JUST ABOVE RIDGETOP WITH 70KTS SHOWING UP ON ALL MODELS. WILL
UPGRADE HIGH WIND WATCH TO WARNING AND MAKE STARTING TIME 09Z WITH
MENTION OF GUSTS OVER 70 MPH POSSIBLE ON EAST SLOPES. INCREASING
SW WINDS AND CLOUD COVER WILL KEEP OVERNIGHT LOWS MILD TONIGHT
WITH SOME AREAS REMAINING ABOVE 40 FOR LOWS. OVER THE LOWLANDS FOR
DURING THE DAY FRIDAY...25KTS AT H85 INDICATED BY MODELS WITH
DECENT GRADIENT...BUT COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE WILL BE EARLY AND A
LACK OF PVA ALOFT COULD KEEP WINDS FROM REACHING FULL POTENTIAL
AND REMAIN JUST BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA. MOS GUIDANCE BOTH SHOWING
DOWNWARD TREND IN WINDS...SO FOR NOW WILL HOLD OFF ON ADVISORY AND
LET MID SHIFT TAKE ONE LAST LOOK AT IT. BEST LIFT AND MOISTURE
WILL BE OVER NW GRANT COUNTY AND KEPT CHANCE POPS GOING FOR THIS
AREA AND LIGHT QPF AMOUNTS FOR TONIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY. HIGHS
TOMORROW WILL LIKELY BE A BIT COOLER THAN TODAY...ESPECIALLY
FURTHER WEST WHERE FRONTAL PASSAGE WILL BE EARLIER IN THE DAY.

HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK...MEAN TROUGH WILL
REMAIN LOCATED FROM ABOUT CENTRAL WY SOUTHWEST INTO SWRN AZ AS A
SERIES OF DISTURBANCES KEEP DROPPING DOWN BACK SIDE AND LETTING
COLD AIR REMAIN IN PLACE. TRICKY PART TO THIS FORECAST WILL BE
TEMPS AS CLOUD COVER WILL LIKELY BE SPORADIC WITH MODELS NOT
SHOWING CONSISTENCY KEEPING CONDITIONS MOSTLY CLOUDY SO EVEN A
COUPLE HOURS OF BREAKS IN CLOUDS WILL MEAN A BIG DROP IN LOWS. DEW
POINTS WILL BE DROPPING INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS FOR THE WEEKEND AND
WITH MOISTURE NOT BEING REAL DEEP...WILL COUNT ON SOME FEW-SCT
PERIODS AND DROP LOWS AT LOWER SIDE OF GUIDANCE IF NOT BELOW IT.
COULD SEE SOME COLDER LOWLAND LOCATIONS BACK INTO THE SINGLE
DIGITS TO LOWER TEENS SEVERAL NIGHTS.

BIGGEST MODEL DISCREPANCY COMES MIDWEEK WITH LATEST 12Z GFS
SHOWING UPPER TROUGH MOVING ACROSS THE CWA TUE INTO EARLY WED WITH
LITTLE TO NO PRECIP. 12Z ECMWF CONTINUES TO BE CONSISTENT WITH
CUTOFF DEVELOPING OVER AZ TUE AND SLOWLY CROSSING THE CWA WED INTO
EARLY THU. EIGHT OF THE TWELVE 12Z GFS ENSEMBLES SHOWING A SLOW
MOVING CUTOFF DEVELOPING SIMILAR TO THE ECMWF AND THE PREVIOUS
RUNS OF GFS SHOWED THIS AS WELL...SO HAVE GONE ALONG WITH THE
ECMWF SOLUTION. ONE CONCERN IS THE MOISTURE THE ECMWF IS GETTING
WED/THU. THE TRAJECTORIES AT LOW LEVELS NOT SHOWING A GOOD SURGE
OF GULF MOISTURE GETTING WRAPPED INTO SYSTEM AND MODELS SEEMS TO
GENERATE PRECIP MAINLY FROM STRONG DYNAMICS ASSOCIATED WITH THE
UPPER LOW. GIVEN THERE HAS BEEN SOME INCONSISTENCY WITH THE PRECIP
FORECAST IN MODELS WITH THIS SYSTEM...HAVE BROUGHT IN SOME 10-20
POPS ACROSS CWA DURING THIS PERIOD...BUT NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO
GO MUCH ABOVE THAT JUST YET. TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN
BELOW NORMAL WITH ECMWF INDICATING HIGHS NOT GETTING OUT OF THE
MID TO UPPER 30S WED.
