SHORT TERM
(This afternoon through Thursday night)
Issued at 229 PM CST Wed Nov 29 2023

After the mostly calm period through tonight, tomorrow gets more interesting as an upper trough digs and moves overhead. This trough is currently digging over Baja and is progged to arrive between 12-18z tomorrow morning, bringing a 70-80 kt jet overhead. Many locations across the Plains will tap into these strong winds with diurnal mixing, with sustained winds between 25-35 kts and gusts up to 40 kts possible. The strongest winds are focused in the Guadalupe Mountains where a mountain wave will help bring 50-60 kt gusts down to the surface. With this, have upgraded the High Wind Watch to a Warning for the Guadalupe and Delaware Mountains and issued a Wind Advisory for the southeast New Mexico Plains and portions of far west Texas. With such a large swatch of strong winds, some areas of blowing dust may be possible, which will locally reduce visibilities.

In addition to the strong winds, this system will bring a brief period of lift and increased mid level moisture, enough to get a few elevated showers and storms. Coverage of any precipitation and amounts will be low, though portions of southeast New Mexico and the far northern Permian Basin have the best chances to see any. Temperatures stay near average tomorrow despite the downslope winds. A weak front is set to nose into the northern zones Thursday night which may dip some spots below freezing by Friday morning.

LONG TERM
(Friday through Tuesday)
Issued at 229 PM CST Wed Nov 29 2023

There is not much in terms of weather in the long term forecast period. A series of shortwave troughs will be passing north of the region every few days with little impact on the overall weather for our region. The quasi-zonal flow and steady heights even keep temperatures largely stationary across the region. Expect each day to have afternoon temperatures near normal in the 60s across the majority of the area. Overnight temperatures remain in the 30s and low 40s for most each night. Cloud cover will be hit or miss with increasing clouds with any approaching shortwave and decreasing clouds behind it. No rain is expected as a predominately west surface wind keeps any meaningful low-level moisture east of our neck of the woods. Overall, a very seasonable start to December is expected. Enjoy the nice weather!

AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1042 PM CST Wed Nov 29 2023

Low clouds have resulted in IFR conditions at MAF, with these clouds quickly developing west-northwestward, progged to impact HOB and INK at or just after issuance. IFR/LIFR conditions are expected at these terminals until mid morning, with lower confidence for low ceilings at CNM/PEQ, where TEMPO mention has been included toward daybreak. Fog is also possible tonight into Thursday morning, but by 16Z-17Z, conditions will quickly improve to VFR as gusty west winds develop areawide. Gusts to 30-40kt will be common, with gusts diminishing around 01/00Z.
