.DISCUSSION...
SOUTHEAST LOW LEVEL WINDS AND OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM THUNDERSTORMS
HAVE PUSHED MOIST UNSTABLE AIR ACROSS FAR WEST TEXAS AND INTO AREAS
ALONG AND EAST OF THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY. THAT LAYER OF MOIST AIR IS
VERY SHALLOW AND WILL ERODE BACK TO THE EAST LATER THIS MORNING AND
THIS AFTERNOON AS UPPER LEVEL WINDS MIX DOWN TO THE SURFACE. THERE
IS STILL A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING ACROSS HUDSPETH AND EASTERN OTERO COUNTY. A FEW STORMS COULD
PRODUCE HAIL...STRONG WINDS AND HEAVY DOWNPOURS. DRY LIGHTNING IS
ALSO POSSIBLE OVER HUDSPETH AND OTERO COUNTIES THIS AFTERNOON. THE
REST OF THE AREA WILL BE WARM AND DRY TODAY WITH SOUTHWEST WINDS.
WEST TO SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL BRING DRY AND WARM WEATHER TO ALL AREAS
TOMORROW THROUGH THURSDAY. IN ADDITION...AN UNSEASONABLY STRONG UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH...COMBINED WITH A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE TO THE EAST...MAY
GENERATE BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. CRITICAL
FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
