AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EL PASO TX/SANTA TERESA NM
337 AM MDT MON MAY 5 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRENGTHENING SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL MAINTAIN WARM TEMPERATURES AND
SET UP BREEZY CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON. A LARGE PACIFIC STORM
SYSTEM WILL MOVE INTO THE WESTERN PART OF THE COUNTRY TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY WITH STRONG WINDS AND AREAS OF BLOWING DUST POSSIBLE
BOTH DAYS. DRY CONDITIONS AND COOLER BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES
WILL OCCUR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AS THE SYSTEM MOVES OUT OF THE
REGION. WARMER TEMPERATURES WILL RETURN NEXT WEEKEND AT PART OF
WESTERLY FLOW PATTERN ACROSS THE REGION.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
DRY CONDITIONS WITH BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS WILL OCCUR FOR THE
NEXT FEW DAYS AS A PACIFIC TROUGH MOVES INLAND THROUGH THE WESTERN
PART OF THE COUNTRY. A STRENGTHENING SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL
OCCUR TODAY AS A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE HAS MOVED EAST OF THE
AREA. A SURFACE LEE TROUGH REMAINS IN PLACE JUST TO THE EAST OF
THE LOCAL AREA. THIS WILL RESULT IN INCREASED SOUTHWEST TO WEST
WINDS BY THIS AFTERNOON...WHICH SHOULD REACH THE BREEZY CATEGORY
FOR PORTIONS OF THE LOCAL AREA. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN WARM WITH
AFTERNOON HIGHS IN THE LOWLANDS NEAR 90 AGAIN TODAY.

THE DEEP PACIFIC TROUGH WILL MOVE INTO THE GREAT BASIN ON TUESDAY
WITH STRONG SOUTHWEST FLOW SPREADING OUT AHEAD OF IT. THE APPROACH
OF THE STORM SYSTEM WILL TIGHTEN THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT AND
HELP INCREASE WIND SPEEDS ACROSS THE STATE BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON.
LOCALLY...WIND SPEEDS WILL BE NEAR WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA WITH
SOME AREAS OF BLOWING DUST ACROSS THE DESERT LOWLANDS. AFTERNOON
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL WITH HIGHS NEAR 90 EXPECTED
ACROSS THE LOWLANDS.

ON WEDNESDAY THE PACIFIC TROUGH WILL APPROACH THE FOUR CORNERS
REGION WITH CONTINUED STRONG WINDS EXPECTED ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW
MEXICO AND FAR WEST TEXAS. WINDS WILL BE NEAR ADVISORY CRITERIA
WITH AREAS OF BLOWING DUST POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY OVER THE SOUTHERN
DESERTS. WINDS MAY REMAIN STRONG INTO THE EVENING UNTIL AN
ASSOCIATED PACIFIC COOL FRONT MOVES INTO THE AREA FROM THE WEST.
BEST CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION WILL REMAIN NORTH OF THE LOCAL
FORECAST AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

THURSDAY WILL SEE THE MAIN ENERGY FROM THE TROUGH LIFT OUT OF THE
AREA WHILE A WEAK SECONDARY TROUGH REMAINS IN PLACE. COOLER AIR
MOVING IN FROM BEHIND THE PACIFIC FRONT WILL LOWER TEMPERATURES
BACK BELOW NORMAL WITH MID TO UPPER 70S POSSIBLE FOR THE LOWLANDS.
WIND SPEEDS WILL ALSO DECREASE BUT MAY STILL BE BREEZY ON
THURSDAY. FRIDAY WILL SEE THE REMAINDER OF THE TROUGH MOVE OFF TO
THE EAST WITH CONTINUED DRY CONDITIONS. TEMPERATURES WILL REBOUND
BACK UP TO NEAR NORMALS BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON ALONG WITH A RETURN TO
A WESTERLY FLOW.

THE OUTLOOK FOR NEXT WEEKEND LOOKS DRY WITH A GENERAL WESTERLY
FLOW IN PLACE ACROSS THE AREA. WIND SPEEDS WILL REACH THE LOW END
BREEZY CATEGORY IN THE AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES WILL WARM BACK UP
TO A FEW DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL WITH AFTERNOON HIGHS NEAR 90 FOR THE
LOWLANDS.

&&

.AVIATION...VALID 05/12Z-06/12Z...
VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE VALID PD WITH SKC-FEW250. WEST TO
SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 12-18 KNOTS THE AFTERNOON WITH
SOME DECREASE IN SPEED OVERNIGHT...THEN INCREASING AGAIN IN THE
MORNING.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
A DRY SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL STRENGTHEN THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS A
DEEP TROUGH OFF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST COAST MOVES DIGS FURTHER
SOUTH AND MOVES INLAND. INCREASING SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL BRING
WARMER TEMPERATURES TO THE AREA... WITH NEAR 90 DEGREE READINGS
EXPECTED ACROSS THE LOWLANDS AGAIN TODAY. AS THE UPPER TROUGH
MOVES INTO THE GREAT BASIN ON TUESDAY...WINDS WILL INCREASE INTO
CRITICAL FIRE WX RANGE...WITH STRONGER WINDS EXPECTED ON WEDNESDAY
AS THE THE TROUGH MOVES INTO THE FOUR CORNERS REGION. FIRE WX
WATCHES HAVE ALREADY BEEN ISSUED FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.
SLIGHTLY HIGHER RH MAY WORK INTO THE HIGHER TERRAIN ABOVE 7500
FEET WED AFTERNOON...BUT ELSEWHERE MINIMUM RH VALUES WILL BE BELOW
15 PERCENT. LOWER WIND SPEEDS...COOLER TEMPERATURES AND HIGHER
HUMIDITY EXPECTED THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.
