.DISCUSSION...
BACKDOOR COLD FRONT HAS PUSHED WEST OF DEMING NEW MEXICO THIS MORNING
BUT IS HUNG UP EAST OF THE BLACKS RANGE DUE TO THE HIGHER TERRAIN.
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG THE RIDGE OF
THE BLACKS AND ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF SIERRA COUNTY.  HOWEVER...
THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT RISK OF DRY LIGHTNING FARTHER WEST OVER THE
GILA RIVER VALLEY...ESPECIALLY IF RESIDUAL MOISTURE CAN FIND ITS WAY
BACK BEHIND THE HIGHER TERRAIN.  OTHERWISE...EXPECT LIGHT AND VARIABLE
WINDS THIS MORNING BECOMING MORE SOUTHERLY THIS AFTERNOON...THEN
SOUTHWEST BY LATE AFTERNOON.  LIGHTNING THREAT WILL DIMINISH TOMORROW
BUT SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE...WITH BREEZY CONDITIONS
EXPECTED BY THE WEEKEND.
