AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EL PASO TX/SANTA TERESA NM
248 PM MST MON JAN 28 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
UPPER TROUGH OVER ARIZONA WILL MOVE ACROSS NEW MEXICO TONIGHT AND
TUESDAY MORNING. THIS WILL CREATE WINDY CONDITIONS ACROSS THE
BORDERLAND THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY AFTERNOON. THE TROUGH WILL ALSO
SPREAD MOUNTAIN SNOW SHOWERS AND LOWLAND RAIN SHOWERS THROUGH
TUESDAY MORNING...BEFORE THE TROUGH MOVES EAST AND CLEARS THE SKIES.
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY WILL REMAIN COOL...BUT DRY WEST WINDS ALOFT
DOMINATING THE REST OF THE WEEK...LOOK FOR TEMPERATURES TO WARM BACK
ABOVE NORMAL BY FRIDAY. LITTLE TO NO CHANCE OF RAIN INTO NEXT
WEEKEND.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
SHORT RANGE..
UPPER TROUGH OVER THE GREAT BASIN EXTENDING DOWN TO WESTERN ARIZONA.
SURFACE COOL FRONT OUT AHEAD IN EASTERN ARIZONA AND SHOULD MOVE INTO
WESTERN NEW MEXICO NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. STRONG PVA AND COLD AIR
ALOFT MOVING IN WITH TROUGH SHOULD ALLOW SHOWERS TO DEVELOP TONIGHT
INTO TUESDAY MORNING. DAYTIME WIND ADVISORIES PRETTY MARGINAL TODAY
BUT WILL LET EXPIRE ON TIME. HIDALGO MESONET SHOWS WINDS RIGHT NEAR
ADVISORY...SAC MOUNTAIN OBS NOT SO MUCH. WILL GO AHEAD AND ISSUE
AREA WIDE WIND ADVISORY LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY TUESDAY MORNING.
LOOKS LIKE EAST SLOPE EVENT COULD OCCUR TONIGHT. OTHERWISE MOVEMENT
OF TROUGH OVER WESTERN NEW MEXICO AROUND 12Z TUE SHOULD PICK THE
WINDS BACK UP. PRECIP CONCERNS...SNOW LEVELS LIKELY AROUND 7500 FT
RIGHT NOW BUT WILL FALL DOWN TO AROUND 5000 FT BY TUESDAY MORNING.
NOT EXPECTING MORE THAN 1 TO 3 INCHES ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS...BUT
WILL HAVE TO WATCH AS COMBINED WITH THE WINDS...COULD SEE BRIEF NEAR
BLIZZARD CONDITIONS TUESDAY MORNING. SURFACE FRONT THROUGH THE AREA
BY LATE TONIGHT...DROPPING TEMPERATURES TUESDAY ABOUT 15 TO 18
DEGREES.

TROUGH MOVES JUST EAST OF THE AREA BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON...ENDING
MOST SHOWERS. BOTH GFS/NAM HINTING AT WEAK UPPER DISTURBANCE AND
MOISTURE MOVING INTO CENTRAL NEW MEXICO TUESDAY NIGHT SO LEFT SMALL
MOUNTAIN POPS IN FOR THAT TIME. OTHERWISE CLEARING TUESDAY NIGHT
INTO WEDNESDAY. COOL AIR WILL CONTINUE WEDNESDAY WITH JUST SLIGHT
WARMING FROM TUESDAY.

17-HEFNER

LONGER RANGE..
THE GRADUAL WARMING TREND WILL CONTINUE THURSDAY...AS THE UPPER
LEVEL TRANSITIONS TO MORE OF A WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT OVER THE REGION.
THIS IS IN ADVANCE OF A BROAD RATHER FLAT HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE ALOFT
THAT WILL BUILD INTO THE WESTERN STATES OVER THE WEEKEND.  AMPLE
AMOUNTS OF WARM AIR ADVECTION AHEAD OF A DEEP LOW PRESSURE TROUGH
UPSTREAM OVER THE E PAC...WILL HELP SUSTAIN DEVELOPMENT OF THIS
RIDGE.  MODEL DIFFERENCES VARY WIDELY AMONG THE GFS AND ECMWF
SOLUTIONS ON WHAT TO DO WITH THE RIDGE EARLY NEXT WEEK. GFS MOVES
THE RIDGE EAST OF OUR AREA MONDAY...WHILE THE ECMWF MOVES THE RIDGE
EAST BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.  ECMWF PORTRAYS A MUCH MORE
PROGRESSIVE PATTERN FOLLOWING THE RIDGE...WHILE THE GFS FORECASTS A
SLOWER HIGH AMPLITUDE PATTERN WITH MORE OF A SUB TROPICAL MOISTURE
TAP FOR US.  IN THIS CASE...A CUT OFF LOW MOVING INTO THE SOUTHWEST
IS RESPONSIBLE FOR EXTENSIVE HIGH CLOUD COVER FOR US.  IN THE CASE
OF THE ECMWF...A MUCH WEAKER SUB TROPICAL TAP-TELECONNECTION IS
FORECAST AND LATER IN THE WEEK.

COMPROMISE SHOULD EXIST BETWEEN THE TWO...WITH A LEAN TOWARDS THE
HIGHER AMPLITUDE GFS OUTLOOK...AS OVERALL JET STREAM BEHAVIOR HAS
TENDED TO FAVOR A SPLIT FLOW PATTERN THUS FAR.  LONG RANGE
PREDICTIONS THROUGH THIS SPRING ALSO FAVOR A SPLIT IN THE JET
STREAM.

WITH EITHER OUTCOME...TEMPERATURES EARLY NEXT WEEK ARE EXPECTED TO
REMAIN NEAR OR A FEW DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL.

22-TRIPOLI

&&

.AVIATION....VALID 29/00Z-30/00Z.
GUSTY WINDS OF 240-260 25-30G40-45KT WILL BE DECREASING TO
10-15KTS AT MOST TERMINALS BY 04Z EXCEPT BECOMING 27020-25G40KT AT
KELP. WINDS AT ALL LOCATIONS WILL TURN WESTERLY BY MORNING AND
INCREASE AGAIN TO 25-30G45KT AND SLOWLY DECREASE AFT 20Z. SCT TO
NMRS SHSN OVER HIGHER ELEVATIONS WITH 1SM BLSN BKN010-020 LIKELY.
ELSEWHERE SCT-BKN040-060 THRU 18Z WITH ISOLD 3-5SM -SHRASN BKN020
BECOMING P6SM SCT060-080 AFT 18Z.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
STRONG UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WITH ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL PASS
THROUGH THE REGION OVER THE NEXT 18 TO 24 HOURS. THIS WILL KEEP WEST
TO SOUTHWEST WINDS BREEZY TO WINDY ACROSS THE REGION. SOME OF THE
HIGHER ELEVATIONS WILL SEE 1 TO 3 INCHES OF SNOW LATE THIS AFTERNOON
AND TONIGHT. TROUGH WILL PASS THROUGH EASTERN AREAS TUESDAY MORNING
WHICH WILL PUT AN END TO THE SNOW EXCEPT FOR SOME LIGHT SHOWERS OVER
THE MOUNTAINS. UPPER RIDGE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE WEST FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE WEEK WHICH WILL BRING WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS TO
THE BORDERLAND. HIGHS WILL BE BELOW NORMAL TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY
BEFORE GETTING BACK INTO THE 60S AND EVEN SOME 70S BY THE WEEKEND.
VERY DRY AIR WILL ACCOMPANY THE RIDGE BUILDING IN FOR THE SECOND
HALF OF THE WEEK WITH MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITIES FALLING INTO THE
TEENS AND POSSIBLY SOME SINGLE DIGITS BUT WITH LIGHT WINDS...RED
FLAG CONDITIONS ARE NOT EXPECTED.
