Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service El Paso Tx/Santa Teresa NM
259 AM MDT THU AUG 25 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
East to southeast winds will push moist unstable air into southern
New Mexico and west Texas into next week. As a result there will
be continued chances for showers and thunderstorms across the
Borderland under partly to mostly cloudy skies. Temperatures will
remain near or a little below normal each day.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Over the next seven days larger scale surface pattern will be
dominated by broad area of low pressure covering the Great basin
and southern Rocky Mountain region and large area of high pressure
to the east. Consequently low level winds will be mostly east to
southeast across southern New Mexico and west Texas with transport
of moisture pushing dewpoints back above 50 F most locations by
Friday and around 55 to 60 F over the weekend. Precipitable
water will thus rise above an inch. The increase in moisture will
destabilize air mass with mucapes around 400 to 800 J/kg today
rising to around 600 to 1200 J/kg by Saturday afternoon.

Meanwhile in the middle and upper troposphere weak poorly defined
short wave/impulses may possibly move west to east across the cwa
through Saturday with models suggesting an inverted trough
drifting westward through northern Mexico early next week.
Overall pattern thus favors a gradual increase in convection over
the next several days with risk for heavier rains returning this
weekend. Upper ridge building over the southern Rockies may bring
drier weather by Thursday.

&&

.AVIATION...valid 25/12z-26/12z.
Mostly vfr conditions with sct-BKN-100. Isolated areas of mvfr
ceilings and visibility in showers and thunderstorms mainly from
20z to 06z. Surface winds generally from 5 to 15 kt except for
gusts to 40 kt near thunderstorms.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
East to southeast winds will push moist unstable air into southern
New Mexico and west Texas into next week. As a result there will
be continued chances for showers and thunderstorms across the
Borderland under partly to mostly cloudy skies. Locally heavy
rains possible Saturday through Tuesday. Temperatures will remain
near or a little below normal each day.
