Severe T-Storms Possible Monday Afternoon - Evening 

Across The Eastern Permian Basin of West Texas.

As crazy as it sounds this may become a reality.I realize that it is nearly the middle of November but mother nature appears to care less. The next upper-level storm is forecast to send a strong trough of low pressure into the area Monday and Tuesday.

SE NM & W TX Tonight-

 The dryline is forecast to become established near the New Mexico/Texas State line tonight. A few t-storms will be possible along and east of the dryline late tonight, mainly from Lea County eastward. A few of these t-storms will be capable of producing frequent cloud to ground lightning strikes, small hail, gusty winds, and brief heavy rainfall.

West Texas Monday Afternoon & Evening-

 A better chance for t-storms will occur across West Texas tomorrow afternoon and evening as low-level moisture from the Gulf of Mexico increases and the atmosphere continues to destabilize. Some of these t-storms may become severe across the Eastern Permian Basin of West Texas. A few supercell t-storms will be possible and will be capable of producing large hail, damaging t-storm wind gusts in excess of 58 mph, frequent deadly cloud to ground lightning, and locally heavy rainfall.

Storm #2 Arrives Mon-Tue.

Our recent active weather pattern will continue this week as yet another strong upper-level storm takes aim on the state. This one appears to be a little stronger, and will dig a little further south than yesterdays storm. This will give the Sacramento mountains another shot at seeing some snow.

Highs today will range from the low 60's to near 70. Highs on Monday will range from the upper 60's to the mid 70's. A Pacific cold front will move eastward across the area Monday night and Tuesday morning bringing cooler weather with it. Highs on Tuesday are forecast to range from near 60 to the mid 60's. Highs on Wednesday will range from the mid 50's to near 60.

Southwesterly winds will pick up across the area on Monday but will not be anywhere near as strong as they were on Sunday across SE NM. For a summary of the peak gusts recorded across the local area on Sunday please visit this link: http://www.senmwx.com/2011/11/peak-wind-gusts-today.html#links.

Looking Ahead To A Stormy Pattern.

10-Day Mean 500 MB Heights  

Both The European (ECMWF) And The GFS Depict A

Pattern Of Below Normal Heights At 500 Millibars

(18,000' Mean Sea Level) Over The Next 10 Days.

One storm may affect the state this weekend with the potential

for a stronger and colder storm early next week. It appears

that a pattern change may be developing, and this could

potentially mean better chances for rain and snow across

New Mexico, especially over our mountains.
