What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this high wind warning 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 high wind warning went out at Feb 25, 10:27 PM MST, 4 hours 38 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 25, 10:27 PM MST, 4 hours 38 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service El Paso Tx/Santa Teresa NM
1027 PM MST Sun Feb 25 2024

...New AVIATION...

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 200 PM MST Sun Feb 25 2024

Breezy to very windy conditions are expected Monday and Tuesday as
a storm system approaches the region. Temperatures will remain
near record highs for Monday but drop about 10 degrees for
Tuesday. Wind gusts over 50 mph look to be widespread Tuesday
afternoon with gusts over 60 mph on eastern mountain slopes. A
chance for precipitation moves in late Wednesday. Dry conditions
return for the end of the week with temperatures returning to the
70s by Friday.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 200 PM MST Sun Feb 25 2024

Broad upper ridge passing over the region at this time with plenty
of mid and high moisture pushing through CA/AZ which will affect
the CWA over the coming days. Subtropical jet will remain near the
Borderland through Tuesday which will bring breezy to very windy
conditions. We will start to see an increase in winds tomorrow
with most areas becoming breezy to windy. Surface low will be way
to the north with just a weak surface trough extending off to our
east, so do not expect sustained winds above 25-30 mph.
Temperatures will warm nicely again tomorrow with these west to
southwest winds and the lowlands should reach the mid 70s to lower
80s. Monday night, surface low drops south toward NE Colorado into
Nebraska. Surface gradient will tighten over the area with winds
remaining up overnight in the 10-20 mph range(stronger eastern
slopes). This combined with some mid and high clouds will make for
a mild night with lows mainly in the upper 40s and 50s. May even
stay near 60 on eastern slopes around KELP.

On Tuesday, surface low continues southward push and reaches the
TX Panhandle by 00Z Wed and upper jet intensifies to around
110-125KTS over the CWA with even stronger winds through northern
NM. Upper trough is lagging back a little bit, but with H85 winds
increasing to 25-35KTS and H70 winds 40-50KTS, very windy
conditions likely. One drawback will be a fairly thick mid and
high level cloud deck which could limit mixing. Differences in
forecast soundings with the NAM showing mixing limited to around
750mb while GFS is more optimistic going up to 650-700mb. At this
time, the High Wind Watch for mountains and eastern slopes looks
good. For the lowlands, areas east of the Continental Divide look
best for possible Wind Advisory and maybe Warning. With any windy
day out of the west to southwest, we will also see dust, so put in
patchy to areas of dust for most of the area except in the Gila
region. High temperatures will be about 10 degrees cooler than Mon
with cloud cover and cooler air aloft. A few rain showers are
possible out west as low level moisture gradually increases with
the best chance over the western Gila region. Cold front will
start to enter north and eastern areas Tuesday night and Wednesday
morning with winds on the decrease.

An upper low associated with the subtropical jet will move across
northern Baja and open up as it pushes east near the International
Border Wed. Models in pretty good agreement on bringing in precip
with this feature as Probabilistic guidance slowly increasing
PoPs across CWA, especially southern half with best chances late
afternoon Wed and through Wed night. Snow levels will remain
fairly high with 7500-8000ft looking like as low as it will go.

Southwest flow returns for the end of the week and into the
weekend with high temperatures back into the 70s by Friday. Winds
will also be gradually increasing with a windy weekend possible.
Models coming into better agreement with another fairly
significant trough moving into the Great Basin/Four Corners region
Sunday which could bring another chance for precipitation and
cooler temperatures.

&&

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1023 PM MST Sun Feb 25 2024

VFR conditions through the period at all terminals. West winds
overnight AOB 10KTS. We will continue with high CIGs at 200-250.
Winds will increase again tomorow between 17-19Z...into the
12-17G25-28KT range. Patchy blowing dust will be possible, but
significant restrictions to vsby is of low probability.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 200 PM MST Sun Feb 25 2024

A couple of breezy to windy days ahead as a 110+ knot jet moves
over the area and a system moves out of the Pacific. Monday will
see wind speeds of 15-25 mph while Tuesday will be more in the
20-35 mph range with gusts over 60 mph possible on eastern
mountain slopes. RH's will drop into the teens Monday, but ERC's
still modest so just expect near critical conditions. The windier
conditions on Tuesday will also come with higher RH's which will
remain in the mid 20s east to around 40 percent west. An upper
level storm system bring cooler temperatures and a chance for
lowland rain and mountain snow showers Wednesday afternoon and
night. Lighter winds for the end of the week with temperatures
warming into the 70s by Friday.
