...New AVIATION...
.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 402 AM MDT Thu Apr 4 2024
Upper ridge over the Borderland today and Friday will keep plenty
of sun around with temperatures well above normal. The next
Pacific storm system begins moving in later Friday and Saturday.
Winds will increase Friday afternoon and continue for most of the
night time hours as the surface cold front pushes through by early
Saturday morning. A few showers are possible Friday night and
Saturday with the front. Winds will remain gusty much of Saturday
and temperatures will be about 15 to 20 degrees cooler than
Friday. Dry west flow will clear the skies Sunday and Monday and
return temperatures back to near normal.
&&
.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 402 AM MDT Thu Apr 4 2024
A look at the satellite imagery shows the large upper ridge over
the western US has drifted east and the axis this morning extends
from about SE Arizona up across central Colorado and across the
northern Rockies. The ridge will continue east, over the Texas
Panhandle and western Plains by this evening. This will give us
one more fair weather day. Winds will pick up out of the south
this afternoon but nothing extraordinary for this time of the
year. Temperatures will be around 3-5 degrees above normal.
Friday and Saturday...winds begin ramping up as our next Pacific
storm, currently just off the west coast, moves over the Great
Basin Friday night. Current satellite shows lots of cold air
plummeting down behind the front over the ocean, so expect a
blustery cool day Saturday. Winds Friday will pick up out of the
southwest. Models continue to show areas west of the Cont Divide
with the strongest winds, and they likely will be close to
advisory criteria, but remain just below. Dust will likely be a
big problem across most of the southern zones along the Intl
Border. Upper trough and surface cold frontal timing continue to
be unusual, with the front reaching western New Mexico late Friday
evening and passing through El Paso around 3-6am Saturday. Thus
gusty winds will persist all night across most of the area and
continue post frontally--turning a bit more northwest and perhaps
diminishing just a bit. Blowing dust may still be an issue
Saturday but likely for areas east of the Rio Grande Valley. That
cold air behind the front will certainly be felt Saturday, as high
temperatures will be around 15 to 20 degrees cooler than Friday in
those brisk winds. Models continue to show the Sacramento Mtns and
east slopes of the Organ Mtns as areas that may need a Wind
Advisory but will let next shift take one last look at the
situation. Fire candidness look to reach critical for much of the
lowlands so am pushing a Fire Wx Watch out for Saturday for most
of the lowlands. Some showers are possible Saturday morning,
mainly the few hours near the cold front.
Sunday through Wednesday...dry west/southwest flow returns to
clear the skies and allow temperatures to warm back to near normal
Sunday and Monday, as we await the next Pacific system. The upper
low of this system closes off over Arizona Monday night and then
across New Mexico Tuesday night and Wednesday. ECMWF still a bit
slower in clearing the area, suggesting a few showers lingering
into Wednesday afternoon, whereas the GFS clears the area by
Tuesday night. Expect breezy to windy afternoon again Sunday and
Monday, though not quite as strong as the Friday system.
Associated cold front moves through Monday night and Tuesday
morning for a modest cool down. Risk of shower window looks to be
late Monday night through Tuesday night or Wednesday morning.
Eclipse note: looks like it will be a race to flush some higher
clouds out of the area by early Monday afternoon, but we should
have a decent view of the eclipse from southern New Mexico.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1127 AM MDT Thu Apr 4 2024
VFR will prevail through the period. A few gusts approaching 25 kts
is likely at KTCS, but less elsewhere. Winds will begin to increase
toward the end of this TAF period as the next strong storm system
approaches.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 402 AM MDT Thu Apr 4 2024
Winds will be our major fire weather concern over the next several
days. Breezy south winds today will ramp up Friday and Saturday,
with southwest winds Friday and Friday night of 20-35 mph with
some gusts to near 50 mph. Winds will turn more northwest Saturday
morning as cold front sweeps through but remain at around 25-35
mph with gust to 50 mph. Some gusts over 50 mph are possible over
the Sacramento Mtns and the east slopes of the Organ Mtns. Fire
conditions across the lowlands will be elevated Friday. The
strongest winds will be across NM zone 111, but min RHs also a bit
higher here. Saturday most of the lowlands east of Deming will
likely reach critical; therefore a Fire Wx Watch has been issued
for NM zone 112 and TX zones 55, 56 for Saturday afternoon. Breezy
east winds will continue Sunday through Tuesday, though weaker
than Friday/Saturday--keeping fire conditions elevated.
Min RH: Lowlands 7-12% today, 12-20% Friday and Saturday, then
back to 8-12% Sunday and Monday. Mountains 12-20% today, 20-30%
Friday and Saturday, then back to 15-20% Sunday and Monday. Vent
rates very good-excellent through Monday.
