AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EL PASO TX/SANTA TERESA NM 206 PM MDT FRI JUN 14 2013 .SYNOPSIS... MOIST AND UNSTABLE CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH SATURDAY WITH ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT AND AGAIN SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. A FEW STORMS COULD PRODUCE 50 MPH WINDS...SMALL HAIL AND BRIEF HEAVY RAIN. ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY THE ATMOSPHERE WILL BEGIN DRYING OUT AS HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT MOVES BACK INTO THE REGION. ISOLATED AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS ARE STILL POSSIBLE THOUGH...MOSTLY OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND EAST OF THE RIO GRANDE. BY TUESDAY HOT WEATHER WILL RETURN WITH TRIPLE DIGIT HEAT EXPECTED FOR THE LOWLANDS WITH ONLY ISOLATED MOUNTAIN STORMS. && .DISCUSSION... TROPICAL UPPER TROF OVER SE NM ROUNDING SW QUADRANT OF UPPER HIGH OVER ARK-LA-TEX REGION. WEAK DRY SLOT ON WV EXTENDS FROM RIO GRANDE VLY EAST IN CWA. HOWEVER...NOT ENOUGH DRYING TO PREVENT STORMS FROM FIRING UP ALONG RIDGE LINES OVER SACS/SAN ANDRES/GILA. EXPECT OUTFLOWS SPREADING S FROM STORMS TO EVENTUALLY KICK OFF LOWLAND STORMS LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. COVERAGE MAINLY ISOLATED TO SCATTERED WITH A FEW SHOWERS LINGERING PAST MIDNIGHT OVER THE LOWLANDS. A FEW STORMS MAY BE STRONG BUT ABSENT SIGNIFICANT WIND SHEAR...SEVERE STORMS ARE NOT EXPECTED. SIMILAR SETUP FOR TOMORROW WITH FOCUS POSSIBLY A BIT MORE TO THE EAST AND INITIATING A LITTLE LATER...ESPECIALLY OVER THE LOWLANDS. SUNDAY AND MONDAY WILL START TO SEE A DECREASE IN ACTIVITY AS UPPER RIDGE REDEVELOPS OVER THE REGION AHEAD OFF UPPER TROUGH OVER PACIFIC NW. BY MONDAY OR TUESDAY TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE MAKING A RUN AT TRIPLE DIGITS OVER THE LOWLANDS ONCE AGAIN WITH ON ISOLATED AFTERNOON STORMS FOR THE MOUNTAINS. HAVE BOOSTED MAX TEMPS A BIT FOR THIS PERIOD AS GFS UNDERPLAYED MAX TEMPS DURING THE LAST HOT SPELL. && .AVIATION...VALID 15/00Z-16/00Z. SCATTERED TSRA OVER THE GILA REGION AND SACRAMENTO MOUNTAINS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON WILL GENERATE OUTFLOW WHICH WILL KICK OFF MORE STORMS OVER THE LOWLANDS...STARTING WITH THE OTERO MESA AND VARIOUS DESERT MOUNTAIN RANGES. MOST LIKELY TIMING FOR IMPACTS AT KELP AND KLRU LOOKS TO BE IN THE 22-04Z TIME FRAME WITH STORMS INITIALLY FORMING TO THE EAST ALONG THE HUECO MOUNTAINS. GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS...BLOWING DUST...AND BRIEF TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS CAN BE EXPECTED...TEMPORARILY DROPPING CONDITIONS TO IFR. MORE ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE EXPECTED SATURDAY AFTERNOON... MAINLY FAVORING THE HIGHER TERRAIN BUT ISOLATED TSRA MAY SNEAK INTO THE LOWLAND TERMINALS LATE IN THE AFTERNOON AGAIN. && .FIRE WEATHER... SO FAR THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE GILA HAVE BEEN ISOLATED AND FAIRLY DRY... WITH MUCH WETTER AND WIDESPREAD ACTIVITY OVER THE SACRAMENTO MOUNTAINS. THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS LIKELY TO SPREAD INTO THE LOWLANDS HEADING INTO THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS. OVERALL EXPECT CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY TO DROP SLOWLY EACH DAY THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK AS A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN OVER THE WEEKEND. THE RIDGE WILL BE PUSHED SOUTH AS TROUGHING OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST DIGS IN. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS SATURDAY AND SUNDAY WILL TEND TO FAVOR THE HIGHER TERRAIN. A WEAK EMBEDDED SHORTWAVE TROUGH MAY HELP ENHANCE OR ORGANIZE STORMS SUNDAY AFTERNOON WEST OF THE RIO GRANDE DESPITE THE DECREASING MOISTURE AVAILABILITY. OVERALL THIS WILL TRANSLATE INTO GOOD RH RECOVERY THE NEXT SEVERAL NIGHTS...THOUGH MAX RH WILL SLOWLY BE DROPPING EACH DAY. AS TROUGHING TAKES OVER TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...WEST TO SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL SLOWLY INCREASE...ESPECIALLY OVER NORTHERN AND WESTERN AREAS. AFTERNOON WINDS IN THE 12 TO 16 MPH RANGE WITH HIGHER GUSTS MAY OCCUR IN THE WED-FRI TIMEFRAME ALONG WITH DRIER CONDITIONS. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
