552 FXUS64 KEPZ 072136 AFDEPZ Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service El Paso TX/Santa Teresa NM 336 PM MDT Mon Apr 7 2025 ...New DISCUSSION, FIRE WEATHER... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 140 PM MDT Mon Apr 7 2025 - Temperatures will continue to warm on Tuesday and Wednesday. - Very dry conditions. Plenty of sunshine and no chance for any precipitation through the coming weekend. - Winds generally light through the week. Becoming breezy to marginally windy this weekend. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 140 PM MDT Mon Apr 7 2025 Upper level high pressure is moving into the region and as the saying goes, big bubble, no trouble. Today we will warm about 10 degrees above what we saw on Sunday, and we will see much of the same on Tuesday and Wednesday. High temperatures for Wednesday through Sunday will run in the upper 80`s to lower 90`s in the lowlands. The ridge will also keep up our skies clear and our rain chances near zero. The airmass will be very dry this week, but winds will be on the light side of things. By Saturday, we will be near record high temperatures. On Thursday our winds will swing around to the east as a wind shift moves across the area. Some might call it a cold front, but temperatures are basically the same on either side of the "front". By Saturday the upper level ridge will shift a little east and that will allow a couple of short wave troughs to pass near the area. These troughs will have no moisture to work with, so all they will be able to do is give us some breezy or low end windy conditions for both afternoons this weekend. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1138 AM MDT Mon Apr 7 2025 VFR conditions expected for the next 24 hours. Light winds will continue this afternoon and into the overnight hours. Our ceilings are unlimited and those unlimited ceilings will last into Tuesday morning (and beyond). && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 140 PM MDT Mon Apr 7 2025 We will have quiet fire weather conditions through Friday as upper level high pressure controls our weather. This upper level ridge will keep us very dry, but winds will be generally light. We will have little chances for precipitation through the weekend. But we will have breezy to windy conditions on Saturday and Sunday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
