.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1023 PM MDT Mon Jun 30 2025
We had an active weather pattern tonight, with strong winds,
dust, heavy rain and even a little hail and it looks like Tuesday
may be a repeat. Moisture will continue to flow into the area
from the east, while aloft, an inverted trough will be settled
over the region. We will see scattered thunderstorms develop
during Tuesday afternoon in area mountains and then work down into
the lowlands. With the increased moisture heavy rains and flash
flooding will be a concern, but also, any outflow winds may kick
up areas of blowing dust. The thunderstorms may extend well into
Tuesday night and early morning hours on Wednesday.
On Wednesday the low aloft will still be lingering over the
region and we will still have plenty of moisture to work with, so
we will see more rain chances on Wednesday. By Thursday the upper
level low will have fizzled out, but another upper level trough
will be approaching the region from the west, so you guessed it,
another chance for rain on Thursday. On Friday the upper level
trough will have moved across the region and dry and warmer air
will be moving back into the area. It looks like we should be dry
for the Forth of July evening. For Saturday and Sunday, we will
have an upper level ridge over the region and that will keep us
dry and allow high temperatures to creep a few degrees above
average. Some lowland locations may reach the triple digits on
Saturday and Sunday, especially in the Rio Grande Valley from El
Paso and southward.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1023 PM MDT Mon Jun 30 2025
A very active weather night, should start to slowly decrease.
Convection should be wrapped up by around 3 AM. Still lots of
variable and strong outflow winds moving around, but like the
convection, it will die off before 3 AM. The rest of the night
will be quiet with generally light winds. We will have off and on
ceilings of SCT-BKN080-120. Tuesday will be similar to today,
with the best chances for thunderstorms east of the Rio Grande.
Like today, outflow winds could produce IFR conditions with areas
of blowing dust. Also like tonight, thunderstorm activity may
extend well into the night time hours of Tuesday night.
