.DISCUSSION...
...DRY LIGHTNING RISK FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...
...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER PERIOD SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...
A WARM PERIOD EXPECTED FOR THE NEXT WEEK WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES
GENERALLY IN THE LOWER TO MID 90S AS A PERSISTENT SOUTHWEST FLOW
SETS UP OVER THE REGION. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE
TODAY OVER HUDSPETH COUNTY NORTH INTO THE SACS WHERE SOME DRY
LIGHTNING IS POSSIBLE. A DRYLINE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO FAR WEST
TEXAS AND INTO THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. THIS WILL
SET THE REGION UP FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE
EAST OF IT. SOME AREAS COULD SEE SOME DRY LIGHTNING NEAR THE EDGE OF
THE DRYLINE WHERE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL BE LESS. FURTHER EAST INTO
HUDSPETH COUNTY GENERALLY WET THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED.
THROUGH SATURDAY WINDS WILL GENERALLY REMAIN BELOW CRITICAL
LEVELS...BUT STARTING SUNDAY AND INTO NEXT WEEK WINDS WILL PICK UP
AS THE DRYLINE PUSHES EAST OUT OF THE AREA. WEST TO SOUTHWEST WINDS
WILL BE BREEZY EACH AFTERNOON WITH SOME AREAS SEEING CRITICAL
CONDITIONS ANYTIME BETWEEN SUNDAY AND WEDNESDAY. MINIMUM RELATIVE
HUMIDITIES WILL BE BACK INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS THROUGH THIS PERIOD
AS WELL.

648 AM MDT WED MAY 22 2013
.DISCUSSION...
SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES YESTERDAY WILL QUICKLY REBOUND BACK
TO ABOUT 5 DEGREES ABOVE SEASONAL TODAY AS SW FLOW RESUMES.
GENERALLY LIGHT SOUTHWEST WINDS AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL
THROUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL PUSH WESTWARDS
INTO THE TRANS-PECOS REGION RESULTING IN SOME THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY TO OUR IMMEDIATE EAST THURSDAY EVENING. THIS WILL RESULT
IN OUTFLOW WHICH WILL FURTHER PUSH THE MOISTURE AND DRYLINE
BOUNDARY WESTWARDS AND REACHING THE RIO GRANDE BY FRIDAY MORNING.
THE MOISTURE WILL MIX OUT AND THE DRYLINE WILL SHIFT EAST TO EAST
SLOPES OF THE SACRAMENTOS/GUADALUPES IN THE AFTERNOON. ISOLATED
TO WIDELY SCATTERED AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED FRIDAY
AFTERNOON AND INTO THE WEEKEND...MAINLY EAST OF THE RIO GRANDE
AND FAVORING THE HIGHER TERRAIN...WHILE SLIGHTLY BREEZY AND DRIER
SOUTHWEST FLOW PREVAILS OVER SOUTHWESTERN NEW MEXICO. BEING ON THE
MARGINAL WESTWARD FRINGES OF THE MOISTURE SUGGESTS A BETTER CHANCE
FOR DRY LIGHTNING STRIKES ESPECIALLY OVER THE SACRAMENTO MOUNTAINS
OTERO MESA AND HUDSPETH COUNTY FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...AND
LIKELY INTO THE WEEKEND AS WELL.
AFTER THE MOISTURE PUSHES OUT SUNDAY AND MONDAY...BREEZY TO WINDY
CONDITIONS COULD LEAD TO NEAR CRITICAL CONDITIONS.

140 PM MDT TUE MAY 21 2013
...DRY LIGHTNING POTENTIAL INCREASING FOR FRIDAY EAST OF THE RIO
GRANDE...
.DISCUSSION...
SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES BEHIND A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL QUICKLY
REBOUND BACK TO ABOUT 5 DEGREES ABOVE SEASONAL TOMORROW AS SW FLOW
RESUMES. GENERALLY LIGHT SOUTHWEST WINDS AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL
PREVAIL THROUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL PUSH
WESTWARDS INTO THE TRANS-PECOS REGION RESULTING IN SOME THUNDER-
STORM ACTIVITY TO OUR IMMEDIATE EAST THURSDAY EVENING. THIS WILL
RESULT IN OUTFLOW WHICH WILL FURTHER PUSH THE MOISTURE AND DRYLINE
BOUNDARY WESTWARDS AND REACHING THE RIO GRANDE BY FRIDAY MORNING.
THE MOISTURE WILL MIX OUT AND THE DRYLINE WILL SHIFT EAST TO EAST
SLOPES OF THE SACRAMENTOS/GUADALUPES IN THE AFTERNOON. ISOLATED
TO WIDELY SCATTERED AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED FRIDAY
AFTERNOON AND INTO THE WEEKEND...MAINLY EAST OF THE RIO GRANDE
AND FAVORING THE HIGHER TERRAIN...WHILE SLIGHTLY BREEZY AND DRIER
SOUTHWEST FLOW PREVAILS OVER SOUTHWESTERN NEW MEXICO. BEING ON THE
MARGINAL WESTWARD FRINGES OF THE MOISTURE SUGGESTS A BETTER CHANCE
FOR DRY LIGHTNING STRIKES ESPECIALLY OVER THE SACRAMENTO MOUNTAINS
OTERO MESA AND HUDSPETH COUNTY FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...AND
LIKELY INTO THE WEEKEND AS WELL.

.DISCUSSION...
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH IS MOVING INTO THE TEXAS PANHANDLE THIS MORNING
AND A WEAK COLD FRONT IN ITS WAKE HAS PUSHED SOUTH TO THE MEXICO
BORDER. EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO BE JUST 3 TO 5 DEGREES COOLER TODAY
THAN YESTERDAY...AND TEMPS WILL QUICKLY JUMP BACK UP TO THE LOW 90S
FOR THE LOWLANDS TOMORROW. DESPITE THE COOLER TEMPS...RH WILL STILL
BOTTOM OUT IN THE SINGLE DIGITS TODAY.
LIGHT WINDS AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL FOR THE MIDDLE OF THE
WEEK...BUT ON FRIDAY THE DRYLINE WILL SHIFT WESTWARDS...REACHING
THE RIO GRANDE IN THE MORNING AND MIXING OUT TO ALONG THE EAST
SLOPES OF THE SACRAMENTOS/GUADALUPES IN THE AFTERNOON. ISOLATED
TO WIDELY SCATTERED AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED FRIDAY
AFTERNOON AND INTO THE WEEKEND...MAINLY EAST OF THE RIO GRANDE
AND FAVORING THE HIGHER TERRAIN. BEING ON THE MARGINAL WESTWARD
FRINGES OF THE MOISTURE SUGGESTS A BETTER CHANCE OF DRIER THUNDER-
STORM ACTIVITY.
