Area forecast discussion, Jun 23, 3:00 PM MDT, 4 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM 300 PM MDT SAT JUN 23 2001 FORECAST THRU THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS WILL BE BASED ON UPPER HIGH CENTER OVER AZ THIS MORNING PROGGED TO DRIFT SLOWLY EASTWARD TO A POSITION EAST OF NM BY SUN AFTN. AZTEC PROFILER SEEMS TO CONFIRM THIS DEVELOPMENT WITH 5H-3H WINDS SLOWLY BACKING THIS AFTN. ACTIVITY OVER WCNTRL MTNS ALSO HAS BECOME NEAR STATIONARY OR SHOWS EVEN A SLIGHT NORTHWARD DRIFT. PRECIPITABLE WATER AROUND 125 PERCENT OF SEASONAL THIS MORNING...SUFFICIENT FOR WIDELY SCT TO SCT DIURNAL CONVECTION WITH SOMEWHAT MORE ACTIVITY THAN THE LAST FEW DAYS OVER THE WEST AND A LITTLE LESS ACTIVE OVER THE EAST. CANT LEAVE POPS OUT ANYWHERE SO SUBTLETIES PROBABLY LOST ON EVERYONE BUT OTHER METEOROLOGISTS. AFTER TONIGHT...THINK LESS ACTIVE DAY EAST SUNDAY DIRECTLY UNDER UPPER HIGH WHILE NUMBER AND AREAL EXTENT OF CONVECTION INCREASING OVER THE WEST BY LATE IN THE DAY AS UPPER FLOW BECOMES SLY...WITH THE POTENTIAL TO MORE DIRECTLY TAP SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE OVER THE SIERRA MADRE. BY SUNDAY NIGHT MOISTURE MOVING UP INTO WRN NM MAY ADVECT ACROSS NRN MTNS INTO THE NERN CRNR AS WELL WITH SOME LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG LEE SIDE TROUGH. THEREAFTER... .WITH SLY TO SWLY UPPER FLOW THRU MIDWEEK...WILL PAINTBRUSH WITH ABV SEASONAL POPS MTNS...W AND N AND LOWEST POPS SE. LONGER RANGE PROGS SUGGEST THAT UPPER HIGH WILL REBUILD WWD LATTER HALF OF COMING WEEK WHICH WOULD DIMINISH SUBTROPICAL FLOW BUT DO LITTLE TO REMOVE MOISTURE ALREADY IN PLACE. THUS POPS WOULD BE A LITTLE LOWER BUT NOT OUT OF FORECAST...AGAIN SUBTLE CHANGE. MJF ABQ BB 065/092 064/090 064 32223 SAF BB 056/088 055/086 055 32223 TCC BB 062/091 062/091 062 32112 .ABQ...NONE.
