AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
300 PM MDT SUN MAY 29 2005

.DISCUSSION...CONVECTION FIRED RAPIDLY AND RATHER EARLY THIS MORNING
AS OPPOSED TO PREVIOUS DAYS. BEGINNING TO LOOK AS IF FRONTAL
BOUNDARY MAY STALL WITH JUST A SHIFT TO EAST TO SOUTHEAST WINDS IN
THE PLAINS RATHER THAN A GOOD NORTH TO NORTHEAST SURGE THROUGH THE
PLAINS. THEREFORE RAISED TEMPS FOR MONDAY A BIT...THOUGH EXPECTED
LOW OVERCAST MAY IMPAIR WARMING NORTHEAST AND EAST CENTRAL ANYWAY.

UPPER LOW NOW SWINGS A BIT FARTHER SOUTH THAN WHAT WAS FORECAST
SATURDAY. NAM MOS GUIDANCE ESPECIALLY CRANKS UP THE WIND IN WESTERN
NM MONDAY. PER COORDINATION WITH FGZ WILL NOT ISSUE WIND ADVY AT
THIS TIME...AND WILL HOLD WINDS ABOUT ONE CATEGORY BELOW ADVY
LEVELS.

ANOTHER SURFACE BOUNDARY LOOKS MORE DEFINITE TUESDAY/TUESDAY NIGHT
TO AFFECT THE NORTHEAST AND POSSIBLY EAST CENTRAL. BY WEDNESDAY...A
WEAK LOW STARTS TO APPROACH THE SRN CA COAST...WHILE MOSTLY A ZONAL
FLOW DOMINATES NM. THEREFORE EXPECT DAILY ROUNDS OF AFTERNOON AND
EVENING THUNDERSTORMS TO AFFECT MAINLY THE EAST SLOPES OF THE
CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN EASTWARD THROUGH MIDWEEK AT LEAST.

SOME CHANGES TO SKY COVER LATE IN THE WEEK AS SLUG OF HIGH LEVEL
MOISTURE SPREADS FROM OUR SOUTHWEST ACROSS THE STATE DUE TO THE
APPROACHING UPPER LOW. THE LOW TRACKS ALONG THE SRN AZ
BORDER...POSSIBLY PHASING WITH A DEEPER TROUGH CROSSING THE GREAT
BASIN/NORTHER ROCKIES. COULD BE MORE DRYLINE ACTIVITY THROUGH THE
END OF THE WEEK...WITH BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS NEXT WEEKEND AS
THE TROUGH LINGERS TO OUR WEST.
