AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EL PASO TX/SANTA TERESA NM
319 PM MDT TUE OCT 6 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
UPPER LOW OVER ARIZONA CONTINUES TO DRAW TROPICAL MOISTURE UP
ACROSS THE BORDERLAND...FUELING NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. A FEW OF THESE STORMS WILL BE SEVERE TONIGHT AND
AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY. HAIL OVER ONE INCH AND WIND GUSTS OVER 60 MPH
ARE LIKELY WITH A FEW OF THESE STORMS. THE UPPER LOW MOVES INTO
NORTHERN MEXICO THURSDAY. THIS WILL BEGIN TO ALLOW MOISTURE TO
EXIT THE AREA. A FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH SATURDAY. BY SUNDAY THE UPPER LOW IS OUT OVER THE BAJA
PENINSULA...ALLOWING SUNNY SKIES AND WARMER TEMPERATURES TO RETURN
TO THE LISTENING AREA.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
ROUND 2 OF SEVERE WEATHER TODAY...AND IN ROUGHLY THE SAME SPOTS AS
YESTERDAY. UPPER LOW NOW OVER WESTERN ARIZONA WITH GOOD DRY SLOT
OVER WESTERN NEW MEXICO. STILL SOME CONVECTION IN THIS AREA BUT
WITH LOWER DEWPOINTS...PWS AND CAPE VALUES...STORMS NOT REACHING
SEVERE STATE. BEST AREAS FOR THE BETTER STORMS ARE CLOSER TO THE
UPPER LOW (STILL OUT OF THE CWA) AND THEN OVER OUR EASTERN CWA
WHERE MOISTURE IS DEEPER (PWS AROUND 1 INCH)...MUCAPES OF 800-1200
J/KG AND TEMPS WELL ABOVE CONVECTIVE TEMP. FEW SEVERE STORMS
SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF THIS EVENING EAST OF THE RIO
GRANDE VALLEY.

LOOK FOR MORE SEVERE STORMS AGAIN WEDNESDAY FROM EL PASO EAST AS
HIGH DEWPOINTS/PWS/CAPE VALUES ALL CONTINUE. ALSO GOOD VEERING
WIND SHEAR REMAINS. LOWER STORM MOTION SPEEDS MAY MEAN BETTER
FLOOD POTENTIAL.

UPPER LOW MOVES DOWN OVER THE SONORAN DESERT THURSDAY. WHILE WRAP
AROUND MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE OVER THE AREA THE DEEPER TROPICAL
MOISTURE WILL BEGIN PUSHING EAST OF THE AREA. STILL RESPECTABLE
INSTABILITY LINGERING IN THE EASTERN CWA BUT BELIEVE MOST SEVERE
STORM POTENTIAL SHOULD BE OVER. BY FRIDAY THE UPPER LOW MIGRATES
BACK OVER TO THE BAJA THOUGH WRAP AROUND MOISTURE STILL WARRANTS
SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...WITH THE LOW WEST OF THE BAJA THE PERSISTENT
MOISTURE WILL FINALLY MOVE OUT OF THE AREA. SUNNY SKIES AND WARM
TEMPERATURES TO RETURN AFTER QUITE A BOUT WITH THE TROPICAL
MOISTURE.

&&

.AVIATION...VALID 07/00Z-08/00Z.
P6SM SCT-BKN050-070 BKN200-250 THRU PD. UPPER LOW WILL CONTINUE TO
SLOWLY MOVE THRU SRN AZ DURING PD. THIS LOW WILL PROVIDE SCT TO NMRS
1-3SM TSRAGR BKN020-030 WITH WIND GUSTS TO 50KTS POSSIBLE THRU 04Z
AND MAINLY E OF DIVIDE AFT 18Z.  A FEW AREAS MAY SEE MVFR CONDS OF
BKN015-025 BETWEEN 06Z-15Z. WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE UNDER 12KTS
OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE SE TO SW.
&&

.FIRE WEATHER... UPPER LOW WILL BE MOVING THROUGH SOUTHERN ARIZONA
OVER THE NEXT DAY AND INTO SW NM AND NORTHERN CHIHUAHUA ON THURSDAY.
THIS SYSTEM WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES BELOW NORMAL WITH SCATTERED TO
NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. SOME STORMS MAY BE SEVERE WITH
LARGE HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS. AS THE LOW MOVES SOUTH AND WEST INTO THE
WEEKEND...SOME SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION BUT
RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WILL REMAIN ABOVE 20 PERCENT AND GENERALLY ABOVE
30 PERCENT THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THIS WORK WEEK. PRECIPITATION
CHANCES ARE EXPECTED TO BE OVER THIS WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK.
