.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1242 AM MST Thu Nov 21 2024

Benign weather will persist across the Borderland through the
period. An UL ridge over the northeast Pacific ocean will result
in warming temperatures and light winds through Saturday. By
Sunday, models show the quasi-stationary UL low off the NW
Pacific coast will begin to flatting the ridge resulting in zonal
flow over the Borderland. Typically, zonal flow over the area
leads to breezy conditions over the area, but only low end breezy
conditions is expected during the afternoon hours in the
lowlands, and breezy conditions in the mountain areas from Sunday
through at least next Friday. Models continue to show the main jet
will remain north of the area and high pressure over the Plains
will limit lee cyclogenesis. GFS/ECMWF both continue to show a
digging trough within the flow moving southeastward toward the
Borderland around the middle to latter part of next week, but
only the GFS shows the trough coming close enough to give the Gila
region a chance for precipitation.
