Area forecast discussion, Apr 12, 1:22 PM MDT, 8 hours 47 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service El Paso Tx/Santa Teresa NM
122 PM MDT Thu Apr 12 2018Issued by NWS Midland

.SYNOPSIS...
A strong upper trough moving across the Great Basin today will bring
very windy conditions to the region this afternoon through Friday.
High wind and blowing dust is expected. Cooler conditions are
expected Friday behind a Pacific front. Look for lighter wind
Saturday and Sunday with temperatures warming into next week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
The main concern remains the high wind... wind speeds have begun to
pick up this afternoon as daytime heating mixes stronger winds down
to the surface.  The latest model runs continue to show a high wind
event running through Friday.  A strong upper trough moving across
the Great Basin with a short wave rotating through the base of the
trough will combine with a deepening surface low to produce some of
the strongest wind observed in this region in months.

Tonight a Pacific front will move across the area.  Much cooler air
will pour into the region with temps Friday expected to be about 20
degrees cooler.  Winds will remain elevated overnight with very high
wind along eastern slopes early Friday.  Areas of blowing dust can
be expected to reduce visibilities at times this afternoon through
Friday.

The weekend will be much quieter as an upper ridge starts to build
in from the west. Saturday should be cooler with temperatures
returning to near normal Sunday.  Westerly flow then increases next
week for above normal temperatures.  Another short wave will bring
some gusty wind Tuesday... however this one will pass further north
and not expected to be as strong.  With dry conditions across the
area no rain expected for the coming week.

&&

.AVIATION...
Valid 12/18Z-13/18Z... Expect strong/gusty W/SW winds
to persist and even increase through the afternoon and evening
hours before decreasing slightly later tonight. The exception will
be a ELP where high winds look to continue overnight. High winds
will likely result in areas of BLDU through this evening,
decreasing vis to MVFR at all terminals and perhaps periods of
IFR at DMN. Otherwise, VFR conditions are expected.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Extremely critical fire weather conditions have developed as a
strong upper system moves toward the central Rockies and
eventually onto the plains. The strongest winds will occur from
late this afternoon through overnight along eastern slopes with
little recovery of relative humidity. Minimum RH values will be 5
to 15 percent range this afternoon and Friday... with maximum RH
values only in the lower 20s tonight. Critical fire conditions
will persist Friday as strong west to northwest winds continue in
the morning... then begin decreasing Friday afternoon while
becoming more northerly. Cooler temperatures behind a Pacific
front and lower wind speeds over the weekend will result in
reduced fire weather concerns before warming again early next
week with critical fire weather conditions possible again Monday
and Tuesday.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of south central
New Mexico, southwest New Mexico, and southwest Texas.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Increasing winds and becoming very windy, especially this
afternoon and evening. Winds will gust to 60 mph in many
locations, possibly 70 mph along eastern slopes. These potentially
damaging wind gusts will continue overnight along eastern slopes
of the Franklin/Organ/San Andres Mountains but decrease somewhat
elsewhere. Structural damage is possible. Expect hazardous driving
conditions due to dangerous cross winds along north-south oriented
roads, and because of dense blowing dust. Visibilities from
blowing dust may drop to near zero at times in dust prone areas,
especially along I-10 west of Lordsburg. Fire weather danger will
be extreme.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday

Friday: Continued very windy with damaging wind gusts along
eastern slopes of Franklin/Organ San Andres Mountains in the
morning. Blowing dust is still possible but less dense due to much
cooler air. Fire weather conditions will be critical.

Monday and Tuesday: Winds will increase again, especially Tuesday
but not as strong as today and Friday. Blowing dust will occur,
especially west of Las Cruces. Critical fire weather conditions
will return.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed.
