Area forecast discussion, Sep 1, 1:53 PM MDT, 4 hours 54 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
153 PM MDT THU SEP 1 2005

.DISCUSSION...CONVECTION FIRING EARLY AND OFTEN TODAY WITH A FEW
STRONG STORMS ALREADY. POTENTIAL FOR HAILERS AREAWIDE AND MAYBE
SOME STRONG WINDS OVER THE FAR W THROUGH THIS EVENING. THEN THERE
MAY BE A TRANSITION TO HEAVY RAIN CONCERNS DURING THE NIGHT. THIS
BASED MAINLY ON THE GFS WHICH PICKS UP ON A DISTURBANCE HEADING N
INTO SW AND SC NM NOW. OTHER MODELS DO AS WELL...BUT WITH LESS
PRECIP. GFS PROBABLY OVERDONE WITH ITS 1 TO 2 INCH BULLSEYES BUT
AREA LOOKS REASONABLE FROM THE SW AND SC MOUNTAINS NE ALONG THE E
SLOPES OF CNTRL MOUNTAINS ONTO THE ERN PLAINS. MEANWHILE THINGS
ARE FIRING IN THE NE AS WELL...WITH LAST NIGHTS DISTURBANCE STILL
AFFECTING THIS AREA. BULK OF THIS ACTIVITY MAY BE OUT OF THE NE BY
SUNSET.

ALL OF THIS IS HAPPENING DESPITE UPPER LEVEL HIGH CENTERED OVER THE
STATE. YESTERDAYS COLD FRONT HAS FRESHENED THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
AREAWIDE AND THE COUPLE OF DISTURBANCES HAVE AIDED IN THE LIFT AND
INSTABILITY. MOISTURE TO BE RECYCLED FRI WITH MOST ACTIVE AREAS
BEING THE W AND CNTRL MOUNTAINS WHERE WE WILL CARRY SCATTERED POPS.

GENERAL DECREASE IN COVERAGE OF CONVECTION STILL FORECAST FOR THIS
WEEKEND AS UPPER HIGH REMAINS NEAR THE AREA. NAM HOLDS IN HIGH OVER
THE STATE AND EVEN SHIFTS IT A BIT N...WHILE GFS TAKES RIDGE AXIS
SE. GFS THUS MORE BULLISH ON PRECIP OVER THE W AND N THIS WEEKEND
WITH SOME MONSOON MOISTURE AND WEAK DISTURBANCES MOVING NE IN THE SW
FLOW ALOFT. WILL KEEP ISOLATED POPS FOR NOW OVER THE CWA WITH BEST
POPS FAVORING THE W AND N MOUNTAINS.

GFS EVENTUALLY BUILDS UPPER HIGH BACK OVER NM NEXT WEEK WITH LIMITED
MOISTURE. APPEARS BACK DOOR FRONT LESS OF A CONCERN AS WELL. THUS
WILL KEEP JUST ISOLATED POPS FOR NEXT WEEK ALL AREAS. CHJ
