NWS El Paso, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 1, 1:00 PM MST, 2 hours 21 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service El Paso Tx/Santa Teresa NM 200 PM MDT Sat Jun 1 2024 ...New SYNOPSIS, DISCUSSION, FIRE WEATHER... .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 200 PM MDT Sat Jun 1 2024 Hot and dry conditions expected through much of the week. The hottest days of the year are coming Wednesday through Friday with a high temperature above 105 degrees around El Paso. Isolated thunderstorms could return as we go into Friday. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 200 PM MDT Sat Jun 1 2024 Models coming into pretty good agreement for much of the period. We start out with the dryline over eastern CWA and expect it to push back to about the area it made it to this morning around the Rio Grande. This push should not be as long lived as increasing WSW flow aloft pushes it east of area by 18Z. Temperatures Sunday will be close to or maybe a couple degrees cooler than today. Westerly winds will be on the increase during the day with 10-20mph speeds expected by mid afternoon. Little change for Monday with westerly flow continuing, temperatures again fluctuate very little, but could see a bounce back of a degree or two. For Tuesday through Friday, GFS has come around much closer to what the EC has been showing for days as well as ensemble mean. This solution has a cutoff low developing near Northern Baja and a strong ridge building right over the Borderland. Prior runs of the GFS kept lifting this upper low through the Four Corners around Thu with fairly widespread precip chances. New GFS/Ensemble mean and EC keep low along the coast through Friday with little chance for precip Thu. Weakness developing in the ridge later in the week may allow some moisture to push in from the east and bring a slight chance for storms Friday afternoon and evening. Low level moisture will not be impressive, so the biggest threat from these storms would likely be gusty outflow winds. The main concern for the forecast period will be Wed-Fri with the ridge in place and temperatures warming quickly. Strong agreement among models that Thursday will be the hottest day. NBM temps have increased some over the last couple of days and now look more reasonable with a high around 107 for KELP Thu, 90th percentile Thu has 109. All lowland locations look to be 100+ Thursday. Wednesday and Friday will also be very hot but just 2-3 degrees cooler than Thu. Will need to look at possible Heat Advisories for this period, especially around El Paso Metro area. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1113 AM MDT Sat Jun 1 2024 P6SM SKC for areas mainly along and west of the Rio Grande. To the east, SCT070-090 SCT-BKN200-250 as thunderstorm initiation is expected shortly after 18Z over the San Andres and Sacramento Mountains then isolated to scattered coverage as storms head east. Winds will be west to southwest 5-15KTS for areas along and west of the Continental Divide but will be shifting around from southwest to east as the dryline moves east to around the Culberson Co line by 00Z then shifts back toward the Rio Grande by 06Z. By the end of the period, all areas should be back to the west-southwest. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 200 PM MDT Sat Jun 1 2024 Hot and dry conditions will be the norm through most of the period. A few mountain storms are possible going into Thursday. High temperatures will be near 100 for the lowlands to start the period, but by Thursday some areas could see highs above 105 degrees. Minimum RH's in the single digits each day through Tuesday, then going into Wed and Thu the Sacs will work into the lower to mid teens. Winds will start out low end breezy Sunday and Monday, but as upper ridge builds, winds will decrease for midweek. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
