DISCUSSION

Issued at 1015 PM MST Thu Nov 27 2025

Dry and quiet conditions persist through Saturday with above normal temperatures. A pacific storm system will pass over the central Rockies Saturday which will shove a colder airmass down south and into the Borderland by late Saturday night and Sunday morning. Winds will increase with the frontal passage with wind speeds generally 15- 25 mph that morning, with more gustier conditions on west facing slopes like the Huecos, San Andres/Organs, and west El Paso. Blustery conditions expected Sunday morning. Gusts will reach into the 40 mph range. Winds relax heading into the afternoon but will be a low end breezy day. High temperatures will dip into the low to mid 50s east of the Rio Grande with mid 50s and low 60s seen west of the Rio Grande on Sunday. A pacific storm system will pass over the Central Rockies Monday but does not do much for us and will not even be noticeable. Quiet, dry, and gradual warming temperatures can be expected heading into mid-week next week.
