Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service El Paso TX/Santa Teresa NM
218 PM MST Thu Jan 19 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
An approaching upper level storm system will bring a chance for
lowland rain showers and mountain snow showers on Friday. We also
will see breezy to windy conditions Friday afternoon. Our
precipitation chances will increase Friday night through Saturday,
with heavy snow likely in area mountains. Saturday afternoon will
also be very windy with below normal high temperatures. We will be
calmer and a little warmer for Sunday and Monday before another
storm system brings us a chance for mountain snows and strong
winds in the lowlands for Tuesday.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Things are about to get busy. We have a one-two punch of a one-two
punch over the next 7 days. Tonight the first in a series of
upper level short waves will move across New Mexico and bring some
light snow to area mountains. This system is weak, but it will
linger over New Mexico so it will increase our snow potential and
give us windy (20 to 30 mph) to near advisory (25 to 35 mph) winds
by Friday afternoon. There will be enough snow potential in the
Gila to warrant a Winter Storm Warning Friday afternoon. As the
system moves a little east we will then include the Sacramento
Mountains in a Winter Storm Warning for Friday evening and both
the Gila and Sacs warnings will continue through most of Saturday.
The first punch will move off, but quickly on its heels will be
punch number two. This second storm system is stronger, has more
moisture to work with and is a little further south. Heavy snows
of 6 to 12 inches will be possible above 6,000 feet, with a few
isolated higher amounts above 7,000 feet in both the Gila region
and the Sacramento Mountains. In the lowlands we could see another
good round of rainfall with rain totals of a third to two thirds
of an inch possible. The other concern for Saturday will be the
winds. We will see very strong winds Saturday afternoon. A high
wind watch (35 to 45 mph) is in place for the southern zones, but
the rest of the area will also see some strong winds (25 to 35
mph). The concern is that when we get strong winds during the cool
season we our more likely to see damage like trees knocked over,
trucks blown off the road and even some isolated roof and building
damage so we will be highlighting this potential in our products.
Finally by Sunday the first series of troughs will be to our
east. On Sunday we will see a short wave ridge moving across New
Mexico which will give us a nice day with near normal
temperatures.

On Monday we will again be getting ready for the second of the
one-two punches. Thankfully these second set of systems don't
have as much strength as the first two systems. On Monday we will
see our clouds increasing as the next short wave approaches the
region. The system is a little weaker and doesn't have as much
moisture to work with so we will only see a slight chance for
lowland rains and mountain snows. Snowfall totals should stay
below a couple of inches in the mountains. Winds again will be the
main issue with advisory level (25 to 35 mph) winds possible. The
second system will drop down out of northern New Mexico on
Wednesday. This track will really limit the chances for precipitation,
but what this system will do is open the door to some colder air.
It looks like from mid-week to the end of the week we will see
well below normal temperatures.

&&

.AVIATION...Valid 20/00Z-21/00Z.
VFR conds across all TAF sites. Cloud ceilings will start lowering
thru the day as an upper level disturbance approaches the region.
SCT-BKN250 then BKN-OVC050 after 12Z. Generally west to southwest
winds with speeds ranging from 10 to 20 mph, and increasing after
18Z between 20 to 30 mph.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
An upper level disturbance will start approaching us tonight
starting another string of active weather for the Borderland. Rain
and mountain snow showers are expected area wide through the period,
except on Sunday, which will be warm and dry. Strong winds are of
concern between Friday and Saturday, because tomorrow wind speeds
will be between 20 to 30 mph and increasing on Saturday between 25
to 35 mph with stronger gusts in the eastern slopes of area
mountains. Vent rates will be very good Friday to Saturday with a
few exceptions at high elevations. However, they will deteriorate
early next week, before improving again by mid next week. Minimum
relative humidities will be in the 50s this weekend, but they
decrease to the 40s on Monday and the rest of the week.
