...Strong Winds Will Continue on Wednesday...

A strong upper level storm system will move from Southern
California into the Four Corners Region on Wednesday. In response
to this system, a deepening surface low will develop over
southeastern Colorado, resulting in a tightening pressure gradient
across New Mexico and Far West Texas. This gradient, combined with
turbulent mixing of stronger winds aloft, will result in strong
southwest winds across much of the area Wednesday afternoon. Winds
will gust over 50 mph in some places, and patchy blowing dust is 
likely to develop in some areas.

  east of mountain ranges, including Northeast El Paso and around

  also experience some of the strongest winds.

* BLOWING DUST...Blowing dust is likely to develop across the
  area, but visibility will generally remain above 1 mile. Lower
  visibility is possible in a few locations such as along
  Interstate 10 near Lordsburg Playa, or immediately downwind of

conditions across southern New Mexico and west Texas today and
again on Wednesday. A cold front will also move across the region
causing cooler below normal temperatures on Thursday. High
pressure will combine with westerly winds aloft to produce warmer
dry conditions this coming weekend.

.DISCUSSION...
Deep positively tilted upper trough was aligned from Montana
through central California early this morning causing rather
strong height/pressure gradients and southwesterly winds aloft
across New Mexico and west Texas. By late this afternoon a closed
low will have developed over southern California while to the
east downslope winds will sustain surface troughing through
eastern New Mexico. Inflow of warm dry air via deep west to
southwest winds will combine with diurnal warming to result in dry
lapse rates from the surface to around 600 mb. Thus overall
scenario will favor another windy day across the region. Wind
speeds should attain advisory criteria over the New Mexico boot
heel this afternoon with wind speeds expected to be below
advisory levels most other locations.

Upper low will drift slowly east into Arizona tonight with
dynamic cooling aloft making air mass weakly unstable over far
western zones. In addition most of the cwa will be located in
right rear quadrant of 120 kt jet streak to the northeast.
Moisture will be sparse but these factors may support convection
over the Gila Wilderness area where upward motion will be enhanced
by high terrain.

On Wednesday and Wednesday night/early Thursday the upper low
lifts slowly to the northeast into southwest Colorado while
southern extension of associated trough hangs back through Arizona
and Baja. These trends will further strengthen gradients while
dynamics supplement downslope winds causing lee cyclone and
associated troughing to further deepen. Thus winds should should
further increase Wednesday as cooling aloft and diurnal warming
result in very high mixing heights to 500 mb by late tomorrow
afternoon. At moment expect wind speeds exceeding advisory levels
across southern zones and the Sacramento Mountains on Wednesday
afternoon and early evening.

Upper low and lee cyclone move further to the northeast Wednesday
night and Thursday with an attendant cold front moving across the
CWA. Consequently winds should diminish by Thursday with
afternoon high temperatures falling around 5 to 10 degrees below
normal. Thursday and Friday trailing upper trough will move across
New Mexico and west Texas over high pressure at the surface with
models showing little or no rainfall with this situation. Thus
expect dry weather during this time.

Short wave ridge aloft moves across the CWA Saturday and Sunday
sustaining dry weather with warming temperatures. On Monday
the models move a short wave trough across the region with the GFS
producing widespread rainfall while the ECMWF is mostly dry.
Given the usual long range wet bias of the GFS will keep area rain
free on Monday.

.AVIATION...valid 01/12z-02/12z.
Through 06z mostly vfr conditions with a few areas of 1-3 mile
visibility in blowing dust. Skies mostly SCT100 BKN250. Surface
winds gusting around 40 kt between 18z and 03z with moderate of
greater turbulence over a few areas especially across the
mountains and along eastern slopes. After 06z isolated areas of
mvfr conditions in showers and thunderstorms mainly over the Gila
Wilderness region.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
An upper disturbance moving into the western United States will
combine with a deep surface low to the northeast to bring windy
conditions across southern New Mexico and west Texas today and
again on Wednesday. Winds gusting around 40 mph today and around
50 mph Wednesday will result in high end Red Flag conditions in
the afternoon and early evening today and Wednesday. There will
also be a few thunderstorms around the Gila Wilderness area late
tonight and Wednesday. A cold front will also move across the
region causing cooler below normal temperatures on Thursday. High
pressure will combine with westerly winds aloft to produce warmer
dry conditions this coming weekend. Thus no critical fire weather
conditions expected Thursday through Monday.
