(This afternoon through Tuesday night)
Issued at 130 PM CST Mon Nov 8 2021

Upper ridging is currently centered over much of the Gulf Coast. An 
upper trough begins to impact the West Coast Tuesday morning. West 
Texas and Southeast New Mexico will remain under westerly flow aloft 
through the day on Tuesday. High temperatures today and Tuesday will 
mostly be in the 70s and 80s across the area with temperatures 
slightly cooler on Tuesday due to a weak cold front/northerly wind 
shift. Low temperatures tonight will range from the 40s to the 60s. 
No precipitation is expected in the short term.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday through  Sunday)
Issued at 130 PM CST Mon Nov 8 2021

On Tuesday night the upper ridge slides east as an upper trough 
comes across AZ/NM and into the area early Wednesday. On Wednesday 
night A deep upper low will move down out of Canada into the 
Northern Plains as a ridge builds off the CA coast Thursday.  The 
Canadian low and the previous trough will merge.  On Friday W TX/SE 
NM will be stuck between the broad trough to the east and the ridge 
to the west. The trough will move off to the East Coast Saturday as 
the ridge builds into the area.

The trough on Wednesday will push a Pacific front through the area 
with the wind becoming westerly and gusty during the afternoon... 
could see close to high wind at GDP.  Above normal temperatures will 
continue Wednesday before a polar front comes down on the backside 
of the surface low late Wednesday.  S wind briefly returns Thursday 
before another cold front blows in Friday.  Could see some freezing 
temperatures north on Saturday morning but currently does not look 
to be in any areaS that have not already had a freeze this season.

No Rain expected for the coming week.
