Area forecast discussion, Apr 19, 1:49 PM MST, 14 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EL PASO TX/SANTA TERESA NM 249 PM MDT SAT APR 19 2014 .SYNOPSIS... STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL AFFECT THE BORDERLAND THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. A FEW STORMS WILL PRODUCE LARGE HAIL AND LOCALLY STRONG WIND GUSTS. MOST OF THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL LIFT NORTH AND EAST OF THE AREA SHORTLY AFTER DARK...WITH ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUING THROUGH THE NIGHT. A FEW ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN A RISK OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN SUNDAY AND MONDAY AFTERNOON...AND AGAIN ON TUESDAY AS MOISTURE SNEAKS BACK INTO THE AREA FROM THE SOUTHEAST AGAIN. DRY AND WINDY CONDITIONS WILL RETURN TO THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY. && .DISCUSSION... UPPER LOW REMAINS OVER WESTERN ARIZONA THIS AFTERNOON... TO ITS EAST DEEP SOUTHWEST FLOW WITH SEVERAL EMBEDDED IMPULSES CONTINUES TO AFFECT OUR AREA. THE FIRST SIGNIFICANT VORT LOBE THIS MORNING BROUGHT A ROUND OF LOCALLY HEAVY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WHICH HAVE SINCE MOVED UP INTO CENTRAL NEW MEXICO AND PARTS OF WEST TEXAS. PARTIAL CLEARING BEHIND THIS INITIAL ROUND OF STORMS HELPED INCREASE INSTABILITY OVER SOUTHERN NM AND NORTHERN CHIHUAHUA. PVA AHEAD OF NEXT VORTMAX IS CURRENTLY HELPING TO INCREASE CONVECTION IN A BROAD AREA FROM SE ARIZONA...INTO THE BOOTHEEL...AND ACROSS NORTHERN CHIHUAHUA. SEVERAL MESOSCALE MODELS INDICATE FOCUS FOR STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT NORTHWARD INTO SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO AND FAR WEST TEXAS OVER THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS...LIFTING NORTH OF THE CWA EARLY THIS EVENING...WITH MORE ISOLATED ACTIVITY LASTING THROUGH TONIGHT. WITH WBZ HEIGHTS HOVERING AROUND 12KFT MSL AND STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES...A FEW OF THESE STORMS HAVE PRODUCED SMALL HAIL EVEN WITH RATHER UNIMPRESSIVE REFLECTIVITY LEVELS EARLIER TODAY. UPDRAFTS WILL CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN WITH INCREASING INSTABILITY THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING AND LAPSE RATES WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES CLOSER. THUS EXPECT INCREASING RISK OF LARGE HAIL WITH STRONGER STORMS INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. GUSTY WINDS ALSO A POSSIBILITY...BUT DEWPOINT DEPRESSIONS IN THE 25-30 DEGREE RANGE AND LIMITED WILL LIMIT LOW-LEVEL EVAPORATIVE COOLING WHILE UPPER LEVEL PROFILES SUGGEST MID-LEVEL DRY AIR ENTRAINMENT IS UNLIKELY. MESOSCALE MODELS HAVE DONE VERY WELL WITH THIS SYSTEM OVERALL... OF COURSE IT HELPS WHEN YOU HAVE STRONG UPPER LEVEL FORCING WHICH IS USUALLY NOT THE CASE DURING OUR PEAK CONVECTIVE MONTHS DURING THE MONSOON. A FEW OF THE MODELS...ESPECIALLY THE HRRR...STRUGGLED WITH VIRGA YESTERDAY AFTERNOON...BUT APPEAR TO HAVE A BETTER HANDLE ON THINGS TODAY. POP FORECAST BEYOND ABOUT 03Z/9PM THIS EVENING A LITTLE PROBLEMATIC AS THE STRONGER FORCING SHIFTS OUT OF THE AREA AND CONDITIONS STABILIZE. HOWEVER...ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO BE A THREAT THROUGH THE NIGHT WITH WEAKER EMBEDDED DISTURBANCES COULD STILL AFFECT THE AREA...WITH PERHAPS SOME PREFERENCE FOR THE BOOTHEEL AND HUDSPETH COUNTIES BEFORE MIDNIGHT... THEN SHIFTING TOWARDS NORTHERN SIERRA/GRANT COUNTIES AFTER MIDNIGHT AS THE UPPER LOW ITSELF MOVES INTO CENTRAL NEW MEXICO. THE UPPER LOW WILL WEAKEN INTO AN OPEN TROUGH BY TOMORROW MORNING. TROUGH AXIS WILL SHIFT EAST INTO THE TEXAS PANHANDLE BY MIDDAY... BY CYCLONIC FLOW AND COOL AIR ALOFT...COMBINED WITH RESIDUAL LOW- LEVEL MOISTURE...WILL CONTINUE TO FAVOR AT LEAST ISOLATED CONVECTIVE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TOMORROW AFTERNOON NORTH OF I-10 AND MAINLY OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE GILA REGION AND SACRAMENTO MOUNTAINS. AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL DRIFT EAST INTO CO/NM MONDAY...BUT A WEAK DISTURBANCE TOPPING THE RIDGE WILL BRING SLIGHTLY COOLER MID- LEVEL TEMPS TO NORTHERN NEW MEXICO. MEANWHILE...HIGH PRESSURE WILL DRIFT SOUTH OVER THE GREAT PLAINS...BRINGING A SLIGHT ENHANCEMENT TO LOW LEVEL EASTERLY FLOW ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS OF NM. AGAIN RESIDUAL MOISTURE WILL COME INTO PLAY HERE ALONG WITH WEAK UPSLOPE FLOW AND SLIGHTLY COOLER MID-LEVEL TEMPS...RESULTING IN A FEW SCATTERED SHOWERS OR EVEN A THUNDERSTORM OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE SACRAMENTO MOUNTAINS. SOUTHEAST LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL DEEPEN MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING... BRINGING A PLUME OF 40S DEWPOINTS BACK INTO AREAS EAST OF THE RIO GRANDE AGAIN TUESDAY MORNING. MEANWHILE...A STRONG UPPER TROUGH WILL BE MOVING INTO THE GREAT BASIN. A WEAK INITIAL SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL MOVE INTO WESTERN NM LATE IN THE AFTERNOON... AND THIS MAY HELP POP OFF SOME ISOLATED CONVECTION IN EASTERN OTERO/HUDSPETH COUNTIES TUESDAY AFTERNOON. ON WEDNESDAY...IT IS BACK TO THE REALITY OF APRIL. THE AFOREMENTIONED UPPER TROUGH WILL MOVE INTO UT/CO WEDNESDAY MORNING... AND DEEP/DRY/WARM SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL QUICKLY PUSH ANY REMAINING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IN THE EASTERN CWA WELL OUT OF THE AREA. EXPECT A TYPICAL STRONG SOUTHWEST WIND EVENT WITH POSSIBLE BLOWING DUST. WINDS CURRENTLY LOOK LIKE THEY COULD BE IN THE ADVISORY RANGE...THOUGH 35-40 KNOTS AT H7 (PER GFS) IS A LITTLE ON THE LOW SIDE OF THINGS. COOLER TEMPERATURES AND LIGHTER WINDS WILL PREVAIL THURSDAY... WITH SLOWLY INCREASING TEMPERATURES EXPECTED THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK. ANOTHER TROUGH WILL LEAD TO INCREASING SOUTHWEST WINDS AGAIN AROUND THE WEEKEND. && .AVIATION...VALID 20/00Z-21/00Z... AN UPR TROUGH OVR AZ WILL PUSH E INTO NM SUNDAY. AHD OF TROF INCRG AMTS OF SCTD CONVECTION WITH GNRL SKY SCT060 SCT-BKN100-120 BKN200-25O WITH BRF MVFR VRB30G42KT 3SM TSRAGS BKN030 BKN080 OVC150 GNLY UNTIL 06Z WITH ISOLD ACTIVITY E OF RIO GRANDE AFT 12Z. WINDS GNLY 30010G20KT. CB TOPS 350-400 MWV 230/15-20KTS. && .FIRE WEATHER... AN UPPER LOW OVER ARIZONA WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA TODAY AND TONIGHT. SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD PRODUCE SMALL HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS OF 40 MPH. HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT WILL BEGIN TO A DRYING TREND STARTING ON SUNDAY. A FEW MOUNTAIN SHOWERS WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. A STRONG UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL MOVE INTO THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES WEDNESDAY BRINGING LIKELY RED FLAG CONDITIONS TO THE AREA. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
