...New AVIATION...
.KEY MESSAGES...
Updated at 1230 PM MDT Tue May 20 2025
- Dry and warming through Saturday. The risk for heat-related
illnesses may increase over Chaves County Friday and Saturday
where highs approach or slightly exceed 100.
- Increasing low level moisture Sunday through Tuesday with a
chance of thunderstorms, mainly east of the Rio Grande Valley.
&&
.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Wednesday night)
Issued at 1230 PM MDT Tue May 20 2025
Flat zonal flow develops over New Mexico as our upper trough of
yesterday moves out over the central U.S. Dewpoints will remain
in the teens west to 30s east, the area which is closer to the
dry-line which remains in the Texas Panhandle. Ample sunshine and
the low dewpoints, will translate to strong warming with Wednesday
high temps running a couple of degrees above normal. Winds
generally on the light side except some afternoon breezes.
&&
.LONG TERM...
(Thursday through Monday)
Issued at 1230 PM MDT Tue May 20 2025
Continued warming through Saturday as Mexican high pressure ridge
builds over the area and increasing southwest flow aloft. 850mb
temps also continue to rise, with Friday and Saturday the warmest
days of this stretch. High temps both days look to be around 10
degrees above normal. The southeastern plains (mainly Chaves
County) will approach or slightly exceed the century mark. NBM
kept Roswell at 99 deg both Fri/Sat. The 50% NBM (mean) shows
Roswell at 104 Fri/Sat but just raised their highs to 101. Heat
impacts will be felt, and the eastern plains will approach Heat
Advisory criteria but likely fall just short.
Sunday through Tuesday...Texas Panhandle dry-line begins seeping
westward. Areas east of the Rio Grande Valley will see dewpoints
climb into the 40s to 50, with PWs of .60 to 1.00 inches. Thus,
some thunderstorms are possible. Strong/severe potential looks low
for Sunday, but CAPE values and shear profile shows Mon/Tue with
decent potential for strong/severe storms.
&&
.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1120 PM MDT Tue May 20 2025
VMC through forecast period under clear skies and WNW flow aloft.
Light flow overnight, mostly down-valley (NNW 300-340) or
downslope AOB 8 knots. Mostly clear again on Wednesday, with
surface winds 240-280 at 10 to 15 knots. Peak gusts to 25 knots
midday at KLVS, KSAF.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 1230 PM MDT Tue May 20 2025
Relatively low fire weather conditions across the fire zones the
rest of this week as we hit a warming spell. The warmer
temperatures and low humidity will continue the elevated fire
conditions through Saturday, with some drying of fuel moisture,
but only some afternoon breezes are likely, with no significant
wind events expected. Sunday and Monday moisture begins intruding
from the east so some thunderstorms are possible, mainly east of
the Rio Grande Valley. Dewpoints are still low enough in this area
for some dry lightning.
Min RHs: Lowlands 6-12% through Saturday, increasing to teens
Sunday and Monday west of the Rio Grande Valley, and to 25-35% to
the east. Mountains 10-20% through Saturday increasing to 15-25%
Sunday and Monday west of the Rio Grande Valley and to 35-45% to
the east. Vent rates good-very good Wednesday and Sunday, very
good-excellent Thursday through Saturday.
