Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service El Paso Tx/Santa Teresa NM
233 PM MDT SUN OCT 9 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A disturbance aloft will move over the Borderland this evening,
giving us a slight chance of a thunderstorm. Drier west flow aloft
will develop Tuesday and persist through the remainder of the
week. Another disturbance does pass through this flow over our
area Thursday for just a slight chance of a shower or
thunderstorms. Temperatures will remain well above normal for much
of this week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Water Vapor imagery showing upper vort center over SW Colorado
with trough extending back to west central New Mexico. Most of
that energy will stay to our north, but some of the energy is
moving over the western CWA over moderately unstable air. MUCAPES
of 400-1000 J/kg and decent directional shear could allow a few
thunderstorms to approach severe, mostly for hail. The favored
area should be mostly west of the Rio Grande Valley for this
evening.

The upper trough will be east of the area by Tuesday morning,
ushering in a stretch of mostly dry west flow over the top of an
upper high over northern Mexico. Next Pacific trough does cut
through on Thursday, giving the area a slight chance of
thunderstorms. For now will limit this chance to the Sac
Mountains, as a back door front nears that area. Other areas may
eventually need POPs, but for now the models remain dry.
Aforementioned back door front will have to be watched in
following model runs. GFS shows pretty stout cold advection into
the higher terrain of the eastern CWA, but low level westerlies
win out and eventually push the front back east out of the CWA.

Otherwise the week ahead should be quiet and pleasant with
temperatures running about 5 to 8 degrees above normal. Long range
GFS shows deep trough moving to the west coast and drawing up
tropical moisture to the area beginning of next week, however
ECMWF much shallower with trough and hence no scooping up of
tropical moisture.

&&

.AVIATION...Valid 10/00Z-11/00Z...
Isolated to scattered rain showers thunderstorms through the
period moving more east of the Rio Grande by end of the forecast
period. General sky/wx SCT-BKN030-050 SCT-BKN080-120 BKN200-250
WITH AREAS BKN020-035 OVC060 in heavier tstms. Winds generally
NE-SE 07 OCNL G 12 KTS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
An upper level disturbance will move through the area over the
next 24 hours bringing isolated to scattered showers and
thunderstorms. There is a risk of some strong to severe storms
through early this evening. For the early part of the upcoming
work week, temperatures will warm into the mid to upper 80s
(around 10 deg F above normal) with dry conditions returning and
min rh values dropping to around 20% in the lowlands later Monday
and Tuesday. A weak trough will bring some thunderstorms to Otero
and Hudspeth Counties Thursday.
