AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EL PASO TX/SANTA TERESA NM
404 AM MST SUN NOV 15 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
AN ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN WILL OCCUR ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO
AND FAR WEST TEXAS FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. ABUNDANT MOISTURE
FLOWING INTO THE REGION WILL GENERATE WIDESPREAD RAIN SHOWERS
TODAY AND TONIGHT WITH A FEW BRIEF THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE. STRONG
SOUTHWEST TO WEST WINDS WILL OCCUR MONDAY AS A LARGE WINTER STORM
SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE REGION. RAIN SHOWERS WILL TURN OVER TO SNOW
SHOWERS IN THE MOUNTAINS ABOVE 6000 FEET BY MONDAY AFTERNOON.
TEMPERATURES WILL TURN MUCH COLDER BY MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY
WITH WELL BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES. DRIER CONDITIONS WITH
GRADUALLY WARMING TEMPERATURES WILL FOLLOW FOR THE REMAINDER OF
THE WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RADAR IS INDICATING SCATTERED LIGHT RAIN
SHOWERS THIS MORNING. THE SHOWERS WILL BECOME MORE FREQUENT ACROSS
THE AREA AS ADDITIONAL SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE FLOWS INTO THE LOCAL
AREA. A WEAK UPPER LEVEL IMPULSE OVER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA THAT IS
MOVING EASTWARD IS HELPING TO ENHANCE THE LIFT OVER THE AREA THAT
IS GENERATING THE RAIN SHOWERS. THE WARM MOST FLOW WILL KEEP SNOW
LEVELS HIGH FOR NOW WITH MOUNTAIN AREAS EXPECTED TO SEE RAIN IN
ALL AREAS EXCEPT FOR THE HIGHER PEAKS ABOVE 10000 FEET. SHOWERS
WILL CONTINUE OFF AND ON INTO THE NIGHT TIME HOURS. OVERALL RAIN
AMOUNTS WILL BE LIGHT TO MODERATE WITH MOST AREAS RECEIVING LESS
THAN HALF AN INCH OF RAIN. OROGRAPHIC LIFT OVER MOUNTAIN AREAS MAY
ALLOW FOR GREATER PRECIP AMOUNTS. TEMPERATURES WILL BE COOLER THAN
YESTERDAY AS A RESULT OF THE CLOUDINESS AND RAIN...BUT WILL STILL
BE NEAR SEASONAL NORMALS.

BY MONDAY...A LARGE UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL APPROACH
THE AREA AND MOVE INTO THE CENTRAL ROCKIES BY LATE AFTERNOON. THIS
SYSTEM WILL INDUCE A DEEP SURFACE TROUGH EAST OF THE AREA THAT
WILL TIGHTEN THE PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE REGION...RESULTING
IN STRONG WIND POTENTIAL. THE INCREASED PRESSURE GRADIENT ALONG
WITH MIXING DOWN OF STRONGER WINDS ALOFT WILL GENERATE SOUTHWEST
TO WEST WINDS OF 30 TO 40 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 55 MPH BY MONDAY
AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL BE STRONGEST ALONG THE BORDER AREAS AND
ALONG THE EAST SLOPES OF AREA MOUNTAINS WHERE STRONGER WIND GUSTS
MAY OCCUR. A WIND ADVISORY MAY BE NECESSARY FOR MONDAY AFTERNOON.

ALONG WITH THE STRONG WINDS SOME SCATTERED SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL
CONTINUE OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE
LOWLANDS. THERE WILL NOT BE QUITE AS MUCH MOISTURE PRESENT TO
GENERATE MODERATE RAIN AMOUNTS BUT SOME SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED.
TEMPERATURES OVER THE MOUNTAIN REGIONS WILL BECOME COOLER AS THE
DAY PROGRESSES...FIRST OVER THE MOUNTAINS OF THE GILA REGION AND
THEN EVENTUALLY THE SACRAMENTO MOUNTAINS. SNOW LEVELS WILL BEGIN
TO DROP OVER THE GILA REGION BY MONDAY MORNING WITH RAIN SHOWERS
CHANGING OVER TO SNOW SHOWERS ABOVE 7000 FEET IN THE MORNING AND
THEN DOWN TO 6000 FEET BY THE AFTERNOON. SNOW AMOUNTS IN THE GILA
MAY VARY BETWEEN 1 TO 3 INCHES ABOVE 7000 FEET WITH AN INCH OR
LESS EXPECTED DOWN TO 6000 FEET BY MONDAY NIGHT. THE SACRAMENTO
MOUNTAINS WILL SEE SNOW AMOUNTS BETWEEN 1 AND 2 INCHES WITH
ISOLATED HIGHER AMOUNTS OVER THE HIGHER MOUNTAINS

RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS WILL TAPER OFF AND END BY TUESDAY MORNING AS
MOISTURE EXITS THE REGION AND DRIER AIR MOVES INTO THE AREA. THE
UPPER LOW WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK EAST INTO THE PLAINS STATES.
TEMPERATURES ON TUESDAY WILL BE MUCH COLDER WITH MOST LOWLAND
AREAS STAYING IN THE LOWER 50S FOR AFTERNOON HIGHS. WINDS WILL
CONTINUE TO BE BREEZY OUT OF THE NORTHWEST FOR MUCH OF THE DAY.

THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK WILL BE DRY WITH GRADUALLY WARMING
TEMPERATURES EACH DAY THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. A WEST FLOW
WILL BECOME ESTABLISHED OVER THE REGION BY THURSDAY THAT WILL
ALLOW FOR WARMER TEMPERATURES. WEAK IMPULSES IN THE FLOW MAY ALLOW
FOR BRIEF PERIODS OF HIGH CLOUDINESS BUT NO SIGNIFICANT MOISTURE
IS EXPECTED THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION...VALID 15/12Z-16/12Z...
WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION WILL OCCUR ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH 06Z.
CEILINGS WILL GENERALLY STAY ABOVE MVFR LEVELS...WITH BRIEF
PERIODS OF IFR/MVFR POSSIBLE IN AFTERNOON IN ANY CONVECTION AND
HEADING INTO THE EVENING AS COOLER AIR MOVES IN AND CEILINGS
LOWER. RAIN INTENSITY WILL BE GENERALLY LIGHT WITH MINOR
REDUCTIONS TO VSBY. HIGHER MOUNTAIN TOPS WILL BE OBSCURED.
PREVAILING WINDS WILL BE FROM THE SOUTH-SOUTHWEST AT 6 TO 12 KNOTS
THROUGH THE PERIOD.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER... A STRETCH OF UNSETTLED WEATHER IS AHEAD...WITH A
SERIES OF UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES BRINGING WIDESPREAD RAIN
SHOWERS ACROSS THE AREA TODAY THROUGH MONDAY MORNING. GOOD
COVERAGE OF RAIN IS EXPECTED WITH LIGHT TO MODERATE AMOUNTS. SNOW
LEVELS WILL BEGIN TO DROP BELOW 8000 FEET HEADING INTO EARLY
MONDAY MORNING AS PRECIP BECOMES MORE SCATTERED...AND LIGHT
SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE HIGH ELEVATIONS OF THE
GILA REGION AND SACRAMENTOS. ELSEWHERE ON MONDAY...PRECIP WILL
DIMINISH IN THE LOWLANDS...BUT WINDS WILL INCREASE OUT OF THE WEST
AS COOLER TEMPERATURES MOVE INTO THE AREA...WITH STRONG DOWNSLOPE
GUSTS OVER 50 MPH POSSIBLE EAST OF AREA MOUNTAIN RANGES. LIGHTER
WINDS AND COOLER TEMPERATURES WILL PREVAIL FOR THE MIDDLE OF THE
WEEK.
