DPORTERWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Albuquerque, NM wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 17, 2:20 PM MDT, 4 hours 39 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 17, 2:20 PM MDT, 4 hours 39 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM 220 PM MDT SUN JUL 17 2005 .DISCUSSION...AS IS TYPICAL THIS TIME OF YEAR...EXTENT AND PLACEMENT OF PRECIPITATION THE MAIN CHALLENGE THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. THE EXTENDED FORECAST WILL DEPEND GREATLY ON THE TRACK OF EMILY AND HOW FAR N THE MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH EMILY IS ABLE TO ADVANCE. IN THE SHORT TERM FOCUS WILL EXPAND TO MUCH OF OUR CWA. THIS IS DUE TO A BACK DOOR COLD FRONT THAT WILL MOVE S INTO THE NE PLAINS TONIGHT AND THE REMAINDER OF OUR ERN PLAINS MON. THIS FRONT IS COURTESY OF A STRONG TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE ALOFT THAT IS RACING BY WELL TO OUR N. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL INCREASE BEHIND THIS FRONT AND SURFACE WINDS WILL TURN TO A MORE ERLY...UPSLOPE FLOW. THE UPPER LEVEL HIGH TO OUR W WILL BEGIN INCH E MON WHICH MAY HELP DRY OUT THE FAR NW. ELSEWHERE THOUGH ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS SHOULD DEVELOP MON... WITH THE BEST CHANCES OVER THE N AND CNTRL MOUNTAINS AND ONTO THE ERN HIGH PLAINS. TUE AND WED MAY BE A BIT LESS ACTIVE AS THE UPPER HIGH CONTINUES TO BUILD OVER THE 4 CORNERS AREA. ONLY ISOLATED POPS WILL BE FORECAST...WITH THE FAR NW REMAINING DRY BOTH DAYS...AND THE FAR ERN PLAINS RAIN FREE ON WED...THANKS TO THE STEERING FLOW TURNING MORE FROM NORTHEAST TO SOUTHWEST. THE LR FORECAST WILL HINGE ON WHAT HURRICANE EMILY DOES...WHICH BY THE MID WEEK PERIOD WILL BE THE REMNANTS OF THE HURRICANE. RIGHT NOW IT IS LIKELY TO TAKE A TRACK S OF NM. HOWEVER...MOISTURE MAY BE ABLE TO SPREAD N INTO THE LAND OF ENCHANTMENT LATE THIS WEEK OR BY NEXT WEEKEND. THE GFS IS MOST BULLISH ON THIS IDEA AND ALSO THE FASTEST. IT BRINGS PRECIP INTO THE SW AND SC AREAS BY THU AND ALL THE W BY FRI. THE HIGH THAT WILL BE CENTERED TO OUR N LATER IN THE WEEK IS FORECAST BY THE GFS TO SPLIT...WITH THE MAIN CENTER SHIFTING WAY E. IT CREATES A STRONG INVERTED TROUGH OVER NM WITH PLENTY OF MOISTURE STREAMING N INTO MAINLY WRN NM. DGEX ALSO SPLITS THE HIGH BUT NOT UNTIL NEXT WEEKEND...AND IS PRETTY DRY UNTIL THEN. MAJORITY OF OTHER MODELS TRY TO HOLD ON TO ONE MAIN HIGH PRESSURE CENTER NEAR OR N OF NM. IT IS TEMPTING TO INCREASE POPS FOR THE LATE WEEK AND WEEKEND PERIOD...BUT WITH DIFFERENCES IN THE MODELS...WILL KEEP ONLY SLIGHT CHANCES FOR NOW. DID BUMP UP COVERAGE SOME IN THE NW AND SE ON THU.
