What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS El Paso, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind advisory went out at Jan 19, 4:42 AM MST, 7 hours 17 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 19, 4:42 AM MST, 7 hours 17 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service El Paso Tx/Santa Teresa NM 442 AM MST Fri Jan 19 2018 .SYNOPSIS... Dry weather with mostly sunny skies and warmer temperatures will occur today. A storm system will move into the local area late Saturday afternoon through early Sunday morning. Strong westerly winds with gusts over 50 mph will be possible. There will also be a chance of lowland rain and mountain snow showers starting late Saturday afternoon out west and continuing across the area Saturday night. Mountain areas will have potential for 1 to 2 inches of snow. Dry conditions will return on Sunday and much of next week with seasonal temperatures expected. && .DISCUSSION... A quiet weather day will occur across southern New Mexico and far west Texas today with mostly sunny skies and light winds expected. Temperatures will warm to 4 to 5 degrees above normal by the afternoon. Lowlands will have afternoon highs generally in the lower to middle 60s. Higher level clouds will begin to increase Friday night as moisture begins to stream into the area from the southwest. Saturday will be more active weather wise as a Pacific base storm system moves inland and moves toward the area. The fast moving system should reach the area by late Saturday afternoon and will move across the state Saturday night and early Sunday morning. There will be enough moisture with this system for a chance lowland rain and mountain snow showers. Much of the precip will be concentrated in a band that will be tied to a frontal boundary that is associated with the system. Precip will start out west in the Gila Region by late afternoon and spread eastward across the area Saturday evening. Precip will taper off and end by early Sunday morning. Snow levels will start out very high with nearly all areas seeing rain. After the frontal passage snow levels will quickly drop to around 5000 feet around midnight Saturday night. Precip amounts will not be heavy with only around 1 to 2 inches of snow expected for the higher mountains with trace amounts of snow for some lowland areas west and north of Las Cruces. All other areas will see light rain. This storm system will have some strong winds associated with it both aloft and at the surface. Wind speeds will increase through the day on Saturday but will not peak until the late afternoon out west and may not peak in the east until the evening hours. The later arrival of the winds will limit some of their speed potential but much of the area will still see winds reaching advisory levels in the 25 to 35 mph range at least for a few hours. Areas along the east slopes of mountains and near mountain passes will see persistently strong winds with wind gusts in excess of 50 mph Saturday night. Sunday will see the main part of the low pressure system tracking east across portions of northern New Mexico. The local area will remain on the dry southern portion of the system with strong winds possible for a good part of the day. These westerly winds will be post frontal with a less of gusty nature and more of a sustained speed of 20 to 30 mph. Again, areas along east slopes, passes and ridgelines will see stronger winds. Winds will begin to diminish late Sunday afternoon and evening. The outlook for next week looks dry and cool with temperature running within 3 to 5 degrees of seasonal normals. The stable west to northwest flow will keep weather conditions dry with generally clear skies with occasional bands of high clouds moving across the region. Some minor short wave troughs will pass overhead with little impact to the area. Long range models project another broad trough to move through the state late next week with it main impact expected to be strong winds. Precip chances remain poor through next weekend. && .AVIATION...Valid 19/12Z-20/12Z... VFR conditions are expected at all TAF sites. Mostly clear skies with a few high clouds at FEW250. Winds will be south to southwest at 5 to 10 knots after 18Z. && .FIRE WEATHER... It will be dry, mostly sunny, and warmer today with most lowland areas reaching the 60s. Winds will remain light and shift to the southwest later this afternoon and evening. A Pacific storm system will move inland on Saturday and will track through the state Saturday night and early Sunday morning. Strong westerly winds will occur with this system by Saturday afternoon through Saturday night. The strongest gusts will be along the east slopes of area mountains. The storm system will also generate a chance of lowland rain and mountain snow showers. Amounts overall will be light with a potential for 1 to 2 inches of snow in the mountains and trace amounts in the higher lowlands of Sierra and Grant counties. Winds will remain strong on Sunday with drying conditions and much cooler temperatures expected. Next week will be relatively quiet weather wise with dry conditions and generally light winds. With a dry air mass in place, minimum relative humidity values will drop into the teens with modest overnight recoveries into the 40s and 50s expected. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

There is a potential for 1 to 2 inches of snow above 6000 feet for Saturday night. Isolated higher amounts are possible for higher elevations. The lowlands may see a possible rain snow mix but significant accumulations are not expected. Best chance of measurable snowfall will be in areas north and west of Las Cruces. This system will generate strong winds across the area from late Saturday afternoon through mid day Sunday. Due to the systems mainly night time transit through the area, stronger winds aloft may not be able to completely mix down to the surface, keeping winds nearer to advisory levels of 25 to 35 mph. Mountain areas along exposed ridgelines, mountain passes and the east slopes will be the areas with the greatest potential for strong winds with gusts over 50 mph possible. Dry conditions with gradually diminishing winds speeds will occur Sunday. Monday through next Thursday will be dry with generally seasonal temperatures and light winds. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be needed.
