more spotty overnight as the next system moves in tomorrow. Strong
winds are expected with this system, as well as rain and snow for
the higher elevations of the Gila region and the Sacramento
Mountains. Over the weekend, drier and warmer conditions returns
to the Borderland. More inclement weather is expected to return by
the middle of the week.

.DISCUSSION...
.SHORT TERM...
Strong tropical tap of moisture continues over the area, stretching
way back to small disturbance in the central Pacific Ocean. TPW
product shows PWs of .7-.9 inches, highest over the SE CWA. The
richer 1.0-1.5 inch PWs will remain further southwest over the
Sonoran Desert of Mexico. Radar estimates show a broad area of .25
to .50 inches of rain over most of the CWA, with a higher core of
.50 to 1.10 inches over Luna, southern Sierra, and NW Dona Ana
Counties of New Mexico. WV imagery shows good dry slot now moving
over Sonoran and Chihuahua Deserts of Mexico and should begin moving
over our CWA late this morning and this afternoon. Models look
pretty good with this tapering off of precip. A Flood Watch is in
effect for the western zones til noon today. Heaviest rain may be
about done but will let the watch expire as issued.
Other problem area is the mountains. Snow levels remain relatively
high-around 8000 ft over the Gila, and 8500-9000 ft over the Sacs
and should rise to include only the highest mountain peaks by mid
day. Ocnl mix of rain or snow may continue for a few more hours over
the Gila area. Along the east slopes of the Sacs cold air damming
continues from the back door front of yesterday. Expect some
freezing rain/drizzle to continue much of the morning in this area.
Will continue Winter Storm Warning for east slopes. Will downgrade
warning to Advisory for the central Sacs and pull the west slopes
out all together--too warm and too low for significant winter
weather. I am concerned about southwest exposure of the southern
Sacs vicinity of Timberon over to Sunspot. Radar estimates show as
much as .75 inches had fallen last night, and models showing strong
upslope today and rainfall approaching another inch.
For tonight...expect clouds to diminish some and precip become more
showery and spotty. Strong south/southwest flow and warm advection
continue most levels of the atmosphere as mainly upper low over
California pushes further inland. Precip may end most areas later
evening, but then start again toward Friday morning out west as
surface cold front moves into central Arizona.

.LONG TERM...
We will have a very quick transition from the first system to the
second system on Friday. The second system currently located over
California will quickly move through the Rockies and into the
PLains by Friday night. However, contrary to previous model runs
it looks like the center of the upper trough is further north.
Nonetheless, we are still expecting strong winds, rain and snow with
this upper trough and its associated cold front. The strongest
winds will be on Friday afternoon with sustained speeds between 30
to 40 mph with gusts to 55 mph; mountain passes and the eastern
slopes of area mountains possibly seeing stronger gusts. The
development of a strong lee cyclone in eastern Colorado combined
with a very strong upper level jet will reinforce the winds on
Friday afternoon. The breezy to windy conditions will most likely
continue into Saturday as the pressure gradient near the surface
continues to be quite tight, but at least loosens up from Friday.
Therefore, we are going to be issuing at least an advisory for
most of the area today. We will let the current products expire
before issuing Friday's products.
Another weather issue on Friday will be the continuation of rain
over the lowlands and snow in the mountains. Elevations above 7000
ft in the Gila region and the Sacramento Mountains will be able
to see a few more inches of snow. Many short to medium range
models continue to display snow accumulations over the mountain
areas. The temperatures at 700 mb dip below freezing by the late
morning in the Gila region and by the late afternoon in the Sacs.
This timing will give the Gila better chances for snow than the
Sacs.
Once the upper trough continues its track to the northeast into
the Midwest. Our pattern will become more zonal as a weak upper ridge
starts to build up in the region. A weak west to northwest flow
aloft will bring drier and warmer air to the area. We will be
adding a few degrees each day with this warm trend. But max
temperatures are expected to remain below normal through Monday.
On Tuesday, temperatures should finally be slightly above normal.
However, this won't last long as another system starts to approach
from the west bringing moisture back along with precipitation
chances.

.FIRE WEATHER...
It will continue to be very damp today as an upper level storm
system brings widespread precipitation to the area. We will see
rainfall totals of over an inch with isolated two totals. This is
a "warm" system so we will see mostly rain in all but the higher
elevations of the Gila Region. The Sacramento Mountains will be a
little colder so we will see a mix of snow, sleet and freezing
rain above 7,500 feet. The precipitation will taper off beginning
later Thursday morning, but could continue in the Gila until the
afternoon. We will take a short break before a second fast moving
system will be bring another round of strong winds with some
lowland rain and mountain snow showers. The westerly winds on
Friday could be as strong as 30 to 40 mph. We will start and
continue a drying trend through the weekend into the first half of
next week. Precipitation chances will return for the middle of
next week. Min RH's look to stay above 30% for the entire area
through the middle of next week. Vent rates continue to be mostly
poor and only improving on Friday (fair to excellent) as we get
stronger transport winds with the cold front.
