AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EL PASO TX/SANTA TERESA NM
350 AM MST THU NOV 21 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
THE BORDERLAND CAN EXPECT ONE LAST DAY OF WARMER THAT NORMAL
CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON BEFORE A TASTE OF WINTER SETS IN. A STRONG
COLD FRONT WILL PUSH INTO AND THROUGH THE REGION FRIDAY. THIS WILL
CAUSE TEMPERATURES TO DROP 20 TO 30 DEGREES ACROSS THE AREA OVER THE
NEXT FEW DAYS. IN ADDITION STRONG WINDS WILL ACCOMPANY THE FRONT FRIDAY
WHILE LOWLAND RAIN AND HIGHER ELEVATION SNOW BECOME THE FOCUS AS WE
GO THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
A COMPLICATED WEATHER PATTERN WILL CONTINUE TO UNFOLD ACROSS THE
BORDERLAND OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS AS WE TRANSITION FROM MILD
FALL WEATHER TO A REAL TASTE OF WINTER. INITIALLY THINGS ARE LOOKING
GOOD FOR THE REGION TODAY AS WE CONTINUE TO ENJOY WARMER THAN NORMAL
TEMPERATURES AND DRY WEATHER THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE
EVENING HOURS. AFTERWARDS THINGS WILL BEGIN TO BREAK DOWN.

THE OPERATIONAL RUNS OF BOTH THE GFS AND THE ECMWF HAVE SHOWN RATHER
DECENT AGREEMENT AND RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY OVER THE PAST FEW MODEL
RUNS. AS A RESULT THIS FORECAST PACKAGE USES PRIMARILY A BLEND OF
THESE TWO MODELS WITH THE NAM BEING DISCARDED AS IT CONTINUES TO BE
THE OUTLIER APPEARING TOO COLD AND SLIGHTLY FASTER WITH THE OVERALL
EVOLUTION OF THINGS. THAT SAID WE WILL WATCH A FAIRLY STRONG UPPER
TROUGH CROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS TODAY WHICH WILL IN TURN HELP PUSH
A STRONG COLD FRONT OUR DIRECTION. BEHIND THIS FRONT IS A HEALTHY
DOSE OF MODIFIED ARCTIC AIR ASSOCIATED WITH A 1047 MB SURFACE HIGH
THAT WILL SETTLE ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PLAINS AND KEEP A
GOOD PUSH OF SHALLOW BUT COLD AIR STREAMING INTO THE REGION FROM THE
EAST FOR A FEW DAYS. IT LOOKS LIKE THE FRONT WILL REACH THE
SACRAMENTO MOUNTAINS AROUND MIDNIGHT TONIGHT AND PUSH INTO THE RIO
GRANDE VALLY AROUND SUNRISE. STRONG EAST WINDS WILL BLOW BEHIND THE
FRONT WITH ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS ALONG THE WEST FACING SLOPES OF THE
HUECOS FRANKLINS AND ORGANS THROUGHOUT THE DAY FRIDAY. IN ADDITION
TO THE WINDS A COMBINATION OF COLDER AIR BEHIND THE FRONT AND
UPSLOPE FLOW WILL BRING A CHANCE OF LIGHT PRECIPITATION INITIALLY TO
THE EAST SLOPES OF THE SACS EARLY FRIDAY AND THEN ACROSS THE
REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST AREA EAST OF THE RIO GRANDE BY FRIDAY
EVENING AND NIGHT. THIS PRECIP WILL FALL MOSTLY AS LIGHT DRIZZLE HOWEVER
FREEZING DRIZZLE WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE SACS AND
DRIZZLE COULD EVEN SWITCH TO FREEZING DRIZZLE FRIDAY NIGHT AND EARLY
SATURDAY ACROSS LOWLAND LOCATIONS OF HUDSPETH AND OTERO COUNTIES AS
TEMPERATURES DROP TO BELOW FREEZING THERE.

MEANWHILE THE OTHER BIG WEATHER FEATURE WILL BE A CLOSED OFF UPPER
LEVEL LOW THAT WILL SET UP RESIDENCE ALONG THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
COAST FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY BEFORE EJECTING OUT OVER THE REGION
SUNDAY AND MONDAY. WITH THE UPPER LOW STALLED TO OUR WEST FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY THE REGION WILL SEE SOUTH AND SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW THROUGHOUT
THE MIDDLE AND UPPER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE. THIS WILL MAINTAIN
MILDER AIR FLOW ALOFT KEEPING THE COLD SURFACE AIR MASS VERY
SHALLOW. IN DOING SO MOIST AIR WILL BE SCOOPED UP BY THE UPPER LOW
AND PASSED OVER THE COLDER SURFACE AIR IN A SITUATION THAT WE REFER
TO AS OVERRUNNING. THIS IN TURN WILL KEEP PRECIPITATION CHANCES
GOING ACROSS THE AREA SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

PRECIPITATION TYPE WILL CERTAINLY BE THE BIGGEST FORECAST CHALLENGE
GIVEN THIS SCENARIO. AS THE PRECIPITATION BEGINS ACROSS THE GILA
LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT SNOW LEVELS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN ABOVE
10000 FEET RESULTING IN ALL RAIN ACROSS THE REGION. THIS WILL LIKELY
BE THE CASE IN THIS AREA UNTIL LATER IN THE DAY SATURDAY AND INTO
SUNDAY WHEN SNOW LEVELS WILL DROP EVENTUALLY WINDING UP AROUND 6500
FEET OVER THE GILA AS THE UPPER LOW PASSES BY. TOTAL GILA SNOWFALL
ABOVE 7500 FEET WILL EVENTUALLY RANGE FROM 6 TO 10 INCHES WITH
LESSER AMOUNTS BELOW 7500 FEET.

FURTHER EAST THE PRECIPITATION FORECAST PROVES TO BE EVEN MORE OF A
CHALLENGE. WHILE THE COLD FRONT MAY BRING SOME FREEZING DRIZZLE TO
THE SACS EARLY ON WITH THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE ADDITIONAL
PRECIPITATION WILL BREAK OUT OVER THIS AREA SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND
CONTINUE INTO SUNDAY WHEN PRECIPITATION COULD BECOME LOCALLY HEAVY
AT TIMES. SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING SOME LIGHT FREEZING RAIN
COULD MIX WITH SNOW AS SOUTHERLY FLOW ABOVE ABOUT 750 MB WILL
PROVIDE A LAYER OF AIR ABOUT 3000 FEET THICK THAT IS SLIGHTLY ABOVE
FREEZING. THIS WARMER LAYER WILL BE LOCATED JUST ABOVE THE COLDER
SURFACE. THIS COULD CAUSE SOME OF THE SNOWFALL TO MELT AND THEN
REFREEZE UPON CONTACT WITH THE SURFACE. EVENTUALLY THIS LAYER WILL
COOL ALLOWING FOR ALL SNOW AT THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS FOR SATURDAY
NIGHT AND INTO SUNDAY. THE SNOW LEVEL WILL EVENTUALLY DROP TO AROUND
5500 FEET BY SATURDAY NIGHT ALLOWING FOR ANYWHERE FROM 8 TO 12
INCHES OF SNOW FOR THE SACRAMENTO MOUNTAINS BY SUNDAY EVENING.

FINALLY WE TAKE AT LOOK AT PRECIPITATION TYPE FOR THE LOWLANDS
DURING THIS EVENT. ALL INDICATIONS ARE THAT MOST LOWLAND LOCATIONS
WILL REMAIN JUST ABOVE FREEZING RESULTING IN A COLD RAIN. HOWEVER
THERE WILL BE A COUPLE OF EXCEPTIONS. A BRIEF CHANGE TO LIGHT SNOW
WILL BE POSSIBLE FOR LOWLAND LOCATIONS ACROSS SIERRA COUNTY LATE
SATURDAY NIGHT AS TEMPERATURES COULD DROP TO JUST BELOW FREEZING
FOR A SHORT TIME PERIOD. ANY ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL HERE WILL BE
VERY LIGHT GENERALLY LESS THAT 1 INCH. IN ADDITION AS THE SHALLOW
LAYER OF COLD AIR DROPS BELOW FREEZING ACROSS SOUTHERN OTERO AND
MUCH OF HUDSPETH AND EASTERN EL PASO COUNTIES SATURDAY NIGHT SOME
LIGHT FREEZING RAIN COULD BRIEFLY OCCUR IN THESE LOCATIONS.

FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK...ON MONDAY THE UPPER LOW WILL BE MOVING
OFF...BUT WE MAY SEE SOME LIGHT PRECIPITATION IN THE WRAP AROUND
MOISTURE. TEMPERATURES ON MONDAY WILL CONTINUE WELL BELOW NORMAL.
FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY WE WILL SEE OUR SKIES CLEAR AND WE WILL
BEGIN A SLOW WARMING TREND. TEMPERATURES THOUGH FOR MUCH OF NEXT
WEEK WILL BE BELOW NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE AT ALL TERMINALS THROUGH THE PERIOD
WITH MOSTLY HIGH AND MID LEVEL CLOUDS CONTINUING TO MOVE OVERHEAD.
EXPECT FEW-SCT080-100 SCT-BKN200-250 WITH WINDS PRIMARILY FROM THE
SOUTHWEST AT SPEEDS AT OR BELOW 12 KNOTS THROUGH 18Z. AFTER 18Z
SOME WINDS COULD GUST TO 20 KNOTS AT BOTH KDMN AND KLRU. A COLD
FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE EAST LATE IN THE TAF CYCLE WITH WINDS
SHIFTING TO THE EAST AND NORTHEAST AND BECOMING STRONG AND GUSTY.
WINDS WILL SHIFT AT KTCS BETWEEN 06Z AND 09Z AND AT KLRU AND KELP
BETWEEN 10Z AND 12Z.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
MILD AND DRY WEATHER WILL CONTINUE TODAY BEFORE A CHANGE TO A MORE
ACTIVE PATTERN TAKES PLACE. FOR TODAY MINIMUM RH VALUES WILL RANGE
FROM ABOUT 30 PERCENT ACROSS THE LOWLANDS TO BETWEEN 40 AND 50
PERCENT ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS. AT THE SAME TIME SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 8
TO 12 MPH WILL PREVAIL WITH OCCASIONAL AFTERNOON GUSTS TO BETWEEN
15 AND 20 MPH. WINDS WILL THEN SHIFT TO AN EASTERLY DIRECTION
FRIDAY AS A STRONG BACK DOOR COLD FRONT PUSHES IN FROM THE EAST.
WINDS SPEEDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH WILL BE COMMON FRIDAY WITH EVEN HIGHER
WINDS AND GUSTS TO NEAR 50 MPH ALONG WEST FACING SLOPES OF AREA
MOUNTAINS. AT THE SAME TIME THE CHANCE FOR WETTING RAINS WILL
INCREASE ACROSS THE AREA GENERALLY FROM WEST TO EAST AND CONTINUING
THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. SNOWFALL WILL BE LIKELY ACROSS THE
HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE GILA STARTING LATE SATURDAY AS WELL AS
ACROSS THE SACRAMENTOS WHERE EARLY ON SOME FREEZING RAIN COULD MIX
WITH THE SNOWFALL.

TEMPS WILL RUN AS MUCH AS 20 TO 30 DEGREES COLDER THAN NORMAL OVER
THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL RESULT IN MIN RH VALUES 50 PERCENT OR
GREATER FOR ALL AREAS. MEANWHILE VENT RATES WILL RANGE FROM FAIR
TO GOOD ACROSS THE REGION TODAY AND THE FAIR TO POOR OVER THE
WEEKEND AS MIXING HEIGHTS DROP SUBSTANTIALLY.
