Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service El Paso Tx/Santa Teresa NM
211 PM MDT TUE JUL 19 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
Although not quite as moist as it often is, a monsoon moisture
plume has returned to the region thanks to high pressure moving
away. Moderate moisture will continue to stream into the region on
southerly flow through the week and daytime heating will result in
daily rounds of afternoon and evening showers and storms. Expect
more widespread storms over area mountains and areas to the west
of the Rio Grande through the work week. High pressure will move
back over for the end of the week and help to bring temperatures
back into the triple-digits for next weekend. Rain and storms will
likely be limited across the region, but more evenly occuring
across the area.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
The synoptic pattern has transitioned back to a pattern that
promotes monsoon moisture flow back over the southwest. High
pressure has recentered over the Southern Plains with deep
southeast flow pulling Gulf moisture back over the region. This
mornings PW was right at 1.25" and dewpoings were in the U50s-
L60s. Mountains are seeing early aftn storms as expected and all
indications with CAPE and LI are that additional heating will
allow for lowland storms later.

The main axis of the deepest moisture will be centered over far W
NM and E AZ today...with a nudge to the west tomorrow. The result
is deeper moisture W zones and somewhat more limited moisture over
E zones. All areas will keep at least slight chance of pcpn/storms
for the next couple of days, but storms will be more likely west,
and mountains, with greater areal coverage.

Thursday and Friday models do suggest some further drying of the
SE portion of our CWFA as the moisture continues to focus tighter
to our west. Thus some of Far West Texas gets it's POPs removed
while the rest of the CWFA keeps daily mentions of rain/storms.

For the weekend ahead a minor Pac NW trough cuts east across the
northern Great Basin as the southern ridge begins to recenter over
and west of our region. This will bring westerly flow aloft over
the Four Corners region which should shift the monsoon plume back
over our CWFA. Thus a more uniform POP field as all zones have
near equal rain/storm chances. During this period we should also
see temperatures on the increase with higher hights and h850
temps. Daily Max temps across the lowlands should be back at/above
100 degrees.

.AVIATION...Valid 20/00Z-21/00Z.
P6SM FEW-SCT090-110 SCT-BKN200-250 through period. Sct 1-3SM TSRA
BKN040-060 west of the divide through the night with isold storms to
the east. Storms will mainly be focused over the mountains after
12Z. Winds generally S to SE AOB 12kts except near thunderstorms
where gusts over 40kts possible.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
A strong upper high will remain centered over the southern plains
for this upcoming week. A deeper southeast flow has started to
develop over the region which will help to keep high temperatures
under the century mark for the lowlands and relative humidities
above 15 percent. The orientation of the high will keep the best
moisture closer to the AZ/NM border region. A breakdown of the ridge
is possible Sunday which could help bring more widespread
thunderstorms to the region early next week. Winds through Friday
will be out of the south to southeast at or below 15 mph.
