AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EL PASO TX/SANTA TERESA NM
259 PM MST SUN JAN 31 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
THE POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING WINDS EXISTS FOR THE BORDERLAND ON
MONDAY. A VERY STRONG UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE ALONG
THE WEST COAST OF THE UNITED STATES...AND ITS ASSOCIATED PACIFIC
COLD FRONT WILL SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT THE BORDERLAND WEST OF THE
CONTINENTAL DIVIDE LATER TONIGHT. THE SYSTEM WILL MOVE EASTWARD
ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO AND FAR WEST TEXAS ON MONDAY. THE MAIN
THREAT OF THIS STORM SYSTEM TO MOST OF THE REGION WILL BE THE HIGH
POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TO POTENTIALLY DAMAGING WINDS. IN ADDITION
THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING ACCUMULATING SNOW TO THE GILA WILDERNESS
REGION...SACRAMENTO MOUNTAINS AND THE MOUNTAINS IN THE BOOTHEEL OF
NEW MEXICO. A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW AND LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS ARE
POSSIBLE FOR THE LOWLANDS OF SOUTHWEST NEW MEXICO WEST OF THE
CONTINENTAL DIVIDE MONDAY MORNING. SIGNIFICANTLY COLDER
TEMPERATURES WILL FOLLOW IN THE WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT WITH
TEMPERATURES REMAINING BELOW NORMAL FOR MOST OF THIS WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
I THINK IT APPROPRIATE TO SAY RELATIVELY SPEAKING THAT WE ARE SET
UP TO SEE THE PROVERBIAL STUFF HIT THE PROVERBIAL FAN MONDAY.
COLD -23C H5 TROF WITH 140KT H3 WINDS ON IS WSW SIDE OFF THE CALIF
COAST SHOULD CONTINUE TO DIG SOUTHEASTWARD ARRIVING IN THE
BORDERLAND LATE TONIGHT (W OF THE DIVIDE) AND CHARGE EASTWARD
MONDAY. MODELS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT IN AMPLITUDE AND
PHASE. NAM CONTINUES TO BE MORE BULLISH OF THE QPF BUT FORECASTER
CONSENSUS HAS SETTLED ON ADVISORY AMTS OF SNOW FOR THE BOOTHEEL
MTNS...LOWER ELV OF THE GILA AND THE SACRAMENTO MTNS (SEE
APPROPRIATE ADVISORIES AND WARNINGS FOR THE AMOUNTS) WITH WINTER
SNOW WARNINGS FOR HEAVIER SNOW IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE
GILA.

YET THE DOMINANT PROBLEM FOR THE AREA WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR
DAMAGING WINDS PARTICULARLY IN THE WINDOW FROM 12Z-21Z AS H7
WINDS OVERHEAD WILL BE IN THE 65 TO 75 KTS RANGE WITH H8 WINDS
AROUND 50+ KTS AND H5 WINDS 100+ KNOTS. THESE WINDS ALONE WILL
POSE AN INCREASED RISK FOR DAMAGE ALONG WITH TRAVEL DIFFICULTIES
ESPECIALLY FOR HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES MAINLY WHEN ORIENTED NORTH-
SOUTH GIVING MAX CROSS WIND EXPOSURE. HIGHWAY I-10 ELP TO LRU AND
I 25 N OF LRU THROUGH SIERRA COUNTY AND HIGHWAY 54 ELP N INTO
OTERO COUNTY WILL BE IN THE HIGH RISK AREA. ADDITIONAL WIND
PROBLEMS WILL BE AREAS OF BLOWING DUST AND IN THE AREAS HAVING
SNOW...A BLOWING SNOW PROBLEM WITH BOTH PHENOMENA IMPACTING
TRAVEL WITH LOW VISIBILITIES. THERE MAY BE A POTENTIAL BRIEF
BLIZZARD PROBLEM MAINLY FOR THE SACRAMENTOS (THE GILA SHOULD BE
OUT OF THE HIGH WIND/PRECIP COMBO INTO MIDDAY MONDAY). AT THIS
TIME THE REQUIREMENT FOR AT LEAST 3 HOURS OF VSBY LESS THAN 1/4
MI IN THE SACRAMENTOS MAY BE HARD TO ACHIEVE BUT WILL BE EVALUATED
ON THE NEXT FORECAST SHIFT. NOTE...THE HIGH WIND WARNING WILL
BEGIN AT MIDNIGHT BUT IT WILL TAKE THE WINDS TO ABOUT 15Z TO RAMP
UP TO WARNING VALUES.

FRONTAL PASSAGE WILL BE ARN 12Z IN THE GILA WILDERNESS AND ARN
15-18Z IN THE ELP AREA WITH MAX TEMPS REACHED IN THE MORNING HOURS
AFTER MIDNIGHT. TEMPS SHOULD DROP 15 TO 20 DEG F BEHIND THE FRONT
AND WITH PERSISTENT NW FLOW ALOFT WITH OCNL EMBEDDED SHORT WAVES
IN THE FLOW...THE ENTIRE WEEK SHOULD REMAIN BELOW NORMAL WITH A
GRADUAL WARM UP BY NEXT WEEKEND. MONDAY AND TUESDAY FOR NOW WILL
BE BEST DESCRIBED AS BLUSTERY AT BEST AND EL PASO MIN TEMPS WILL
BE NEAR 20 / LOW 20S THURSDAY MORNING.

IN THE LONGER TERM BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF HAVE ANOTHER SHORT WAVE
TROUGH COMING IN FROM THE NORTHWEST INTO THE ROCKIES NEXT FRI AND
SAT. GFS HAS IT FARTHER NORTH WITH THE ECMWF PUSHING IT FARTHER
SOUTH INTO NEW MEXICO WITH POSSIBLE PRECIP RAMIFICATIONS. THIS IS
A WAIT AND SEE FOR NOW. WE CONTINUE TO BE LOCKED INTO THE PATTERN
OF THE PERSISTENT RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN U.S. WHICH BREAKS TO
BREAK DOWN AS ONE SYSTEM AFTER ANOTHER PLOWS EASTWARD IN THE
NEGATIVELY TILTED EASTERN PACIFIC TROUGH. WOULD LIKE TO SEE A
MORE SOUTHERLY JET STREAM AS WE HEAD INTO SPRING WITH BREEZY RAINY
PERIODS BUT FOR NOW THIS IS A WISHCAST AND NOT A FORECAST.

AN INTERESTING SIDE NOTE: FROM 06Z TO 12Z MONDAY KELP MAY SEE
SOME 30+ KTS OF LOW LVL WIND SHEAR FROM SFC TO 2K FT AGL. PILOTS
TAKE NOTE.

&&

.AVIATION...VALID 01/00Z-02/00Z...
P6SM FEW100-120 SCT200-250 THRU 06Z THEN CLOUDS WILL BE ON THE
INCREASE WITH FEW-SCT030-040 SCT-BKN060-080 WITH LOWLAND 3-5SM
-SHRASN BKN015-025 AND MTN BLO 1SM SN BKN010 THRU 18Z. AFT 18Z ISOLD
LOWLAND -SHSN AND SCT MTN 1-3 -SHSN. WINDS WILL BE DECREASING THIS
EVENING TO WSW 10-20KTS BUT AFT 08Z EXPECT INCREASING SW WINDS TO 15-
25G40KTS AND GRADUALLY SHIFTING MORE WESTERLY BEHIND COLD FRONT TO
25-35G50KTS BETWEEN 12Z-18Z WHICH COULD CREATE NEAR BLIZZARD CONDS
IN AREA MTS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER... COLD FRONT STILL ON TRACK TO ARRIVE OUT WEST TOWARD
MORNING AND MOVING QUICKLY THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA BY EARLY
AFTERNOON MONDAY. EXPECT STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS SHIFTING TO THE WEST AT 25 TO
40 MPH WITH GUSTS OVER 60 MPH MONDAY.  SOME MODERATE SNOW ACCUMULATIONS
ARE EXPECTED IN THE GILA AND SACRAMENTO MOUNTAINS. LOWLANDS
WILL SEE GENERALLY RAIN...BUT COULD SEE SOME SNOW MIXED IN FOR A
SHORT TIME BEHIND FRONT. COOL BUT GENERALLY DRY CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST
THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEK WITH HIGHS MAINLY IN THE 40S THROUGH THURSDAY BEFORE
WARMING BACK INTO THE 50S BY THE END OF THE WEEK. WINDS WILL NOT BE MUCH
OF A CONCERN PAST TUESDAY.
