Area forecast discussion, Feb 24, 4:09 AM MST, 2 hours 49 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EL PASO TX/SANTA TERESA NM 409 AM MST TUE FEB 24 2015 .SYNOPSIS... AN UPPER LOW OVER SOUTHERN NEVADA WILL SPRINT ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...SPREADING SOME SHOWERS AND MOUNTAIN SNOW ACROSS THE BORDERLAND. AT THE SURFACE...A PACIFIC COOL FRONT WILL ACCOMPANY THE UPPER LOW AND BRING STRONG WINDS TO MUCH OF THE SOUTHERN DESERTS...WITH WINDS OF 25 TO 35 MPH. THE LOW WILL QUICKLY EXIT THE AREA TONIGHT...LEAVING A MOSTLY DRY NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT THROUGH FRIDAY. AFTER SEEING TEMPERATURES CLIMB BACK TO NEAR NORMAL TODAY AND WEDNESDAY...A COOL FRONT WILL PUSH IN FROM THE EAST ON THURSDAY WITH COOLING TEMPERATURES. THE FRONT COULD ALSO DEPOSIT SOME LIGHT SNOW OVER THE SACRAMENTO MOUNTAINS. ANOTHER UPPER TROUGH MAY MOVE TO THE AREA THIS WEEKEND FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS. && .DISCUSSION... DEVELOPING LOW WITHIN POSITIVELY TILTED TROUGH EXTENDING FROM THE UPPER MIDWEST BACK TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA...CONTINUES TO SLOWLY DRIFT SOUTHEAST. WV IMAGERY SHOWS LOW OVER FAR NW ARIZONA. LOW WILL SWEEP ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. STRONG WEST/SOUTHWEST FLOW AHEAD OF THIS LOW CONTINUES TO BRING HIGHER CLOUDS INTO THE AREA. THE UPPER LOW IS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE SEVERAL VARIETIES OF WEATHER TODAY AS IT PASSES THROUGH. FIRST OFF IT DRAGS A PACIFIC COOL FRONT THROUGH. FRONT SHOULD ENTER SW NEW MEXICO AROUND NOON...REACHING EL PASO BY AROUND 6PM AND THEN EAST OF THE CWA BY MID EVENING. STRONG WINDS WILL ACCOMPANY THIS FRONT. MOST MODELS ARE ON THE BORDER OF ADVISORY CRITERIA. HOWEVER THE HRRR SHOWS GOOD FIELD OF 30+ MPH WINDS ALONG THE INTERNATIONAL BORDER. WILL ISSUE WND ADV FOR LUNA AND HIDALGO COUNTY ZONES. STRONG WINDS COULD ESTABLISH FURTHER EAST BUT WILL LEAVE THAT AREA OUT FOR NOW. SECONDLY...THE UPPER LOW WILL BRING SOME DYNAMICS AND LIFT TO THE AREA FOR SOME SHOWERS WEST BY AROUND NOON AND SPREADING EAST THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. THE LOW HAS A NICE COLD POOL ALOFT WITH IT (AS MUCH AS 8C DEG COOLING) AND WITH SOME CAPE VALUES AND SLIGHTLY NEGATIVE LI'S...WILL MENTION THUNDERSTORM CHANCES...MAINLY WEST OF THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY. DON'T EXPECT SIGNIFICANT MOUNTAIN SNOWS DUE TO LOW MOISTURE AND FAST SPEED TO SYSTEM. WENT 1-2 INCHES ALL MOUNTAIN ZONES...BUT THE GILA WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED AS ANY ENHANCED CONVECTION COULD BOTH INCREASE SNOWFALL RATES AND LOWER SNOW LEVELS. SPEAKING OF WHICH MOUNTAIN SNOW LEVELS WILL START AROUND 7000 FT GILA/BLACK RANGE AND LOWER SOME TONIGHT. LOW QUICKLY EXITS THE AREA EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING...AND DRIER NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL CONTINUE INTO ABOUT FRIDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL REBOUND TODAY AND WEDNESDAY TO AROUND NORMAL. ONLY OTHER FEATURE BEFORE THE WEEKEND IS A BACK DOOR COLD FRONT PUSHING IN THURSDAY MORNING. THIS WILL LOWER HIGHS MOST AREAS AROUND 7-10 DEGREES THOUGH WITH LESS IMPACT OVER THE WESTERN ZONES. THE FRONT WILL BRING UPSLOPE FLOW AND SOME LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TO THE EASTERN CWA HIGH TERRAIN. INCLUDED SOME CLOUDS AND SLIGHT CHANCE OF SNOW FOR THE SACRAMENTO MOUNTAINS. THE LAST ITEM TO WATCH FOR IS THE WEEKEND. GFS/ECMWF CONTINUE TO AGREE ON A LARGE SCALE FEATURE COMING IN BUT DISAGREE ON THE TIMING AND IMPACT. GFS SHOWS ANOTHER LOW DEVELOPING SATURDAY OVER THE GREAT BASIN WITHIN YET ANOTHER POSITIVELY TILTED TROUGH. LOWS TAPS INTO SOME SUB TROPICAL MOISTURE BY SUNDAY AND WITH THIS INCOMING MOISTURE...LOOKS TO BE PRETTY GOOD CHANCE OF SHOWERS SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...WHEN THE TROUGH EXITS TO THE EAST. ECMWF STARTS OUT FAIRLY CLOSELY ON SATURDAY BUT NEVER REALLY CLOSES A LOW OFF IN THE TROUGH BUT INSTEAD SWEEPS TROUGH ACROSS THE AREA AS AN OPEN WAVE ON MONDAY. THIS WOULD SUGGEST A SHORTER WINDOW FOR PRECIP AND HENCE LESS QPF. WILL KEEP A BROAD BRUSH FOR NOW BUT LEAN WITH THE GFS. && .AVIATION...VALID 24/12Z-25/12Z... VFR CONDS THIS MORNING. SPREADING FROM THE WEST AFTER 17Z WITH COOL FRONT...SCT-BKN120 LAYERS TO 300. ISOLD/SCATTERED -SHRA WITH BKN080 WITH ISOLD 3-5SM -SHSN ABOVE 7000 FT (DROPPING TO 6000 FT OVERNIGHT). FROM ABOUT DEMING WEST A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON. ALSO OVER ALL SOUTHERN DESERTS FROM THE NEW MEXICO BOOTHEEL TO WEST TEXAS...WINDS WILL INCREASE FROM THE SOUTHWEST TO 18-30 KTS...STRONGEST WEST OF THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY. && .FIRE WEATHER... COLD FRONT AND UPPER LOW WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE FIRE ZONES THIS AFTERNOON WITH SOME SHOWERS. STRONG WEST WINDS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE SOUTHERN LOWLAND ZONES WITH WINDS OF 20-35 MPH THIS AFTERNOON. THE SHOWERS SHOULD END LATE TONIGHT AND SKIES CLEAR FOR WEDNESDAY. TEMPERATURES NEAR NORMAL TODAY AND WEDNESDAY BUT COOLING AGAIN THURSDAY AS A BACK DOOR COOL FRONT PUSHES IN. NEXT SHOT AT SHOWERS WILL BE SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY AS YET ANOTHER UPPER TROUGH APPROACHES THE AREA. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
