...PACIFIC STORM TO BRING VERY STRONG WINDS AND CONSIDERABLE
BLOWING DUST TO THE BORDERLAND WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...

.A STRONG UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WITH A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS
ARIZONA AND NEW MEXICO ON WEDNESDAY WHILE A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM DEEPENS TO THE NORTHEAST. THIS WEATHER PATTERN WILL CAUSE
WINDS AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT TO GREATLY STRENGTHEN. DAYTIME
HEATING WILL SUBSEQUENTLY ALLOW THE HIGH WINDS ALOFT TO PUSH 
DOWN TO THE SURFACE TO COMPLIMENT ALREADY STRONG SURFACE WINDS.
CONSEQUENTLY VERY HIGH WINDS WILL OCCUR IN THE AFTERNOON WITH 
SUSTAINED WIND SPEEDS TO OVER 40 MPH WITH GUSTS AROUND 65 MPH.
WIDESPREAD BLOWING DUST WILL PRODUCE DANGEROUSLY REDUCED
VISIBILITY OVER MANY LOWLAND LOCATIONS. RAIN SHOWERS WILL ALSO
OCCUR OVER FAR SOUTHWESTERN NEW MEXICO IN THE MORNING WITH THE
RAIN MIXING WITH AND CHANGING TO SNOW IN THE AFTERNOON AS COLDER
AIR MOVES INTO THE AREA BEHIND THE COLD FRONT.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EL PASO TX/SANTA TERESA NM
550 AM MST TUE FEB 19 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
DEEP SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS TODAY WILL BRING A MIX OF SUN AND HIGH
CLOUDS TO THE BORDERLAND. TEMPERATURES WILL BE MILD WITH AFTERNOON
HIGHS WARMING TO ABOVE NORMAL. WINDS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE THIS
AFTERNOON AND BECOME MILDLY WINDY WITH THE APPROACH OF THE NEXT
PACIFIC STORM SYSTEM. A WEAK IMPULSE ALOFT WILL BRING SLIGHT
CHANCES FOR ISOLATED LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS LATE TODAY OVER FAR WEST
TEXAS. WEDNESDAY THE NEXT STRONG PACIFIC STORM MOVES ACROSS THE
SOUTHWEST AND BRINGS VERY STRONG WINDS AND A LOT OF BLOWING DUST
TO THE AREA. SCATTERED RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS WILL MOVE INTO
SOUTHWESTERN NEW MEXICO IN THE AFTERNOON. A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL
PUSH IN THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS. WEDNESDAY NIGHT LIGHT SNOW
SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER THE LOWLANDS. THE SYSTEM EXITS
THURSDAY. WINDS STAY BRISK WITH COOL TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE REST
OF THE WORK WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
A QUITE PROGRESSIVE FLOW PATTERN ACROSS THE WESTERN U.S. FOR THE
NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. TODAY THE WESTERN U.S. UPPER RIDGE WILL BEGIN
TO MOVE EAST ACROSS THE ROCKIES AND INTO THE PLAINS. AS IT DOES
A VERY SHARP AND HIGHLY AMPLIFIED PACIFIC TROUGH WILL MOVE OVER THE
WEST COAST AND DIG SOUTH TOWARD THE SOUTHWESTERN U.S. TODAY OUR
AREA WILL SEE THE FIRST HINTS OF THIS NEXT SYSTEM AS THE SYSTEM
BEGINS TO INDUCE TIGHTER PRESSURE GRADIENTS AND STRONGER WINDS.
SOUTHERLY MORNING WINDS WILL TURN SW THIS AFTERNOON AND BECOME 20
TO 30 MPH G40 MPH. SKIES WILL BE VARIABLE WITH MORE EARLY CLOUDS
AND MORE LATE SUN. AN IMPULSE IN THE UPPER SW FLOW WILL PASS
JUST TO OUR SOUTH. THE MODELS ARE ALL PRODUCING PCPN WITH THIS
SYSTEM AS IT MOVES OVER FAR WEST/WEST TEXAS THIS AFTN/EVE. WE ARE
DRY...AND MOST OF THIS SHOULD DEVELOP S AND E...HOWEVER HAVE ADDED
ISOLATED POPS TO HUDSPETH AND EL PASO COUNTIES. PROBABLY SEE VIRGA
AND SPRINKLES W/ NO ACCUMULATED AMOUNTS.

TOMORROW THE WINDS COME UP TO VERY WINDY STATUS AS THE WEST COAST
STORM SYSTEM CUTS ACROSS CENTRAL AZ FROM S CA. THE LATEST MODEL
RUNS SHOW THE SYSTEM TO PASS FURTHER SOUTH. THIS ARGUES FOR BETTER
PCPN CHANCES ACROSS THE REGION...ESPECIALLY OVER THE GILA AND
BOOTHEEL AREA. FURTHER MORE...THIS LATEST TRAJECTORY PLACES OUR
AREA UNDER THE STRONGEST WINDS ALOFT...AND IS BEST POSITIONED/
TIMED TO COINCIDE WITH MAX HEATING/MIXING TO REALIZE THE HIGHEST
WINDS THIS SYSTEM CAN MUSTER. THUS HAVE UPGRADED THE HIGH WIND
WATCH TO A WARNING FOR WED. HAVE THE BOOTHEEL AND GILA AREAS IN A
WIND ADVISORY. ALL OF THE LOWLANDS ALSO PLACED IN A BLOWING DUST
ADVISORY...BECAUSE EXPECTING A LOT OF LOCAL AREAS TO GO BELOW 1
MI. VISIBILITY. THE STORM IS ACTUALLY DRIER THAN THE AIR IN PLACE
CURRENTLY...BUT IT'S STRONG DYNAMICS WILL CERTAINLY ALLOW FOR
SHOWERS WED AFTN INTO THUR MORNING. MOST SHOULD BE OVER THE GILA
REGION. WILL LET THE DAY SHIFT CONSIDER A SNOW ADVISORY FOR THE
GILA AREA MTNS. IT LOOKS LIKE 1-3" OF SNOW OVER THE MOUNTAINS IS A
GOOD BET...NOT SURE IF >3" WILL BE WIDESPREAD ENOUGH TO WARRANT
THE ADVISORY. THE SYSTEM PUSHES A STRONG PAC COLD FRONT ACROSS THE
REGION THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS...WITH COLDER AIR MOVING IN
THROUGH THE EVENING. SNOW LEVELS WILL DROP TO NEAR DESERT FLOOR
ELEVATIONS IN S NM OVERNIGHT. HOWEVER SNOW SHOWERS SHOULD BE VERY
ISOLATED AND LIGHT.

EARLY THURSDAY THE SYSTEM WILL LIFT NE AWAY FROM THE AREA. COOLER
AIR WILL MOVE IN. VERY SLIGHT CHANCES WILL REMAIN FOR LIGHT AND
ISOLATED MTN SNOW SHOWERS IN THE RIPPLES BEHIND THE TROUGH. WINDS
SHOULD STAY UP IN THE BREEZY RANGE.

MODELS BEGIN TO DIVERGE BEYOND THURSDAY. GFS SHOWS A SHARP UPPER
TROUGH WITH FAIR WESTERN CWFA PCPN POTENTIAL PASSING FRIDAY...THE
ECMWF SHOWS A MUCH WEAKER AND THEREFORE DRIER SYSTEM. TAKING THE
MIDDLE GROUND WE WILL KEEP THE AREA GENERALLY DRY WITH MINOR POPS
IN THE GILA ONLY. THIS PASSING SYSTEM WILL KEEP THE REGIONS TEMPS
BELOW NORMAL AND KEEP WINDS BREEZY.

SATURDAY WE COME UNDER A DEEPER AND DRIER WESTERLY FLOW. TEMPS
REBOUND TO NEAR NORMAL.

MODELS SHOW ANOTHER PACIFIC TROUGH TO MOVE IN SUNDAY. THE
GFS/ECMWF FLIP/FLOP ON THIS SYSTEM WITH THE EURO MODEL SHOWING A
STRONGER AND MORE SOUTHERLY STORM BRINGING PCPN POTENTIAL AND
STRONGER WINDS TO THE AREA. THE GFS PASSES IT TO THE NORTH WITH NO
PCPN...ONLY BREEZY CONDITIONS. FOR NOW WILL NOT COMMIT TO THE
BULLISH ECMWF SOLUTION.

.FIRE WEATHER...
RED FLAG WARNING CONDITIONS FOR SOUTHWEST NEW MEXICO THIS AFTER NON
FROM NOON TO 6 PM FOR ZONE 111 MAINLY WEST OF THE CONTINENTAL
DIVIDE WINDS AND RH SHOULD MEET THRESHOLD TO MAKE ELEVATED
CRITICAL ENHANCED FIRE DANGER. PERSISTENT WESTERLY FLOW PATTERN
CONTINUES ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST UNITED STATES TODAY. THIS WILL
RESULT IN CONTINUED DRY WEATHER AND IN WARMER TEMPERATURES. A WEAK
MINOR DISTURBANCE ALOFT WILL MOVE NORTH AND EAST OF OUR AREA AND
ALLOW LOW PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE TO FORM IN EASTERN COLORADO AND
NEW MEXICO WITH THE PRESSURE GRADIENT INDUCING BREEZY WESTERLY
WINDS IN LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING. DRY AND MILD WEATHER AND
SOMEWHAT BREEZY WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TUESDAY. AT THIS TIME
THERE IS A RISK OF RED FLAG CONDITIONS WEST OF THE CONTINENTAL
DIVIDE IN SOUTHWEST NEW MEXICO TUESDAY AFTERNOON. A LARGE PACIFIC
STORM SYSTEM IS STILL ON TRACK TO MOVE INTO NEW MEXICO IN THE
WEDNESDAY THURSDAY TIME FRAME. THIS SYSTEM WILL BRINGING POSSIBLE
RED FLAG CONDITIONS TO ALL AREAS EAST OF THE RIO GRANDE WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON ALONG WITH VERY HIGH WINDS INTO THE NIGHT...AREAS OF
BLOWING DUST...RISK OF LOWLAND RAIN AND HIGHLAND SNOW SHOWERS
MANLY TO THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA...AND TEMPERATURES SOME
15 DEG F COOLER ON THURSDAY. UNSETTLED AND BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL
PREVAIL FOLLOWING THIS SYSTEM INTO THE NEXT WEEKEND.
