Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service El Paso TX/Santa Teresa NM
437 AM MST Thu Dec 15 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
One more nice day before changes start to occur across the
Borderland. Today above normal high temperatures continue. Friday
afternoon into Saturday a cold front accompanied by strong winds
and mountain precipitation will occur. Saturday behind the cold
front temperatures will be cooler. Sunday into next week another
cold front will cross the area dropping temperatures even
further. There is a potential for another storm to bring showers
to the area during the middle of next week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
One more nice day before changes start to occur across the
Borderland. Upper ridge will pass over the area today continuing
our string of above normal high temperatures. Early Friday
morning, a head of a Pacific trough and cold front, the ridge
begins to break down as a surface low develops northeast of the
area. This will result in above normal high temperatures on Friday
with strong southwesterly winds. Winds will remain strong across
the entire area through Saturday as the trough/front moves east.
At this point winds look to be in the advisory category for the
entire region except the Sacramento Mountains where a high wind
warning will be necessary Friday morning through Saturday night.
Have gone ahead and issued a high wind watch for the SACs and will
wait for one more round of models to get the advisory timing down.

While this system doesn't have a lot of moisture with it there is
a potential for light rain showers across area mountains and in
the northern and western portions of the region on Friday. Light
snow showers could occur Friday night into early Saturday in the
Gila Wilderness and Sacramento Mountains.

Saturday temperatures behind the cold front will drop to more normal
values (almost 10 degrees cooler from the day before) and continue
to drop Sunday as a backdoor cold front pushes into the CWA
Saturday night. Sunday and Monday will be cold and sunny. Tuesday
is where things start to get tricky. Models are flip flopping on
what will happen. Earlier GFS and ECMWF runs have a Pacific low
developing, digging south then heading out to sea with little to
no impact on the area. BUT the most recent run of the GFS brings
the low over the region with a decent amount of precipitation area
wide by next Wednesday. For now, based on the consistency of the
models pulling the low out to sea, have deiced to pull POPs out of
the forecast. Will wait for later model runs to become more
consistent to make any changes.

&&

.AVIATION...Valid 15/12Z-16/12Z...
P6SM SCT-BKN250 through the upcoming period. West-southwest winds
will be 10-15kts thru 06z the 15-20kts. BLDU possible during
afternoon hours. Strong wind gusts up to 40kts near Sacramento
Mountains.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Upper ridge will keep temperatures warm and dry today before a
Pacific trough and cold front moves through the area early Friday.
This will result in strong winds area wide Friday and Saturday
and a slight chance for precipitation on Saturday in area
mountains. Winds on Friday will be strong and min RH's might be
low enough for Hudspeth county to approach red flag conditions.
Colder air will move into the region Sunday as another cold front
moves across all zones. Below normal temperatures will last much
of next week. There is a potential for another storm to bring
showers to the area during the middle of next week.
