.AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE OVER SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO WILL CONTINUE
ITS SLOW DRIFT EASTWARD INTO THE TEXAS PANHANDLE OVERNIGHT. A

CONTINENTAL DIVIDE EASTWARD...AND CONTINUED BLIZZARD CONDITIONS
MAINLY OVER FAR NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO. BY LATE EVENING...TAPERING
SNOW SHOWERS AND DECREASING WINDS WILL PRODUCE GRADUAL IMPROVEMENTS
IN THE WEATHER PICTURE. SKIES WILL SLOWLY BECOME PARTLY CLOUDY
FROM WEST TO EAST TONIGHT HOWEVER COLD TEMPERATURES AND ICY ROAD
CONDITIONS WILL AFFECT THE REGION THROUGH SUNDAY.

TRAVEL ONLY IF NECESSARY THIS EVENING AND DELAY TRAVEL IF POSSIBLE.

WITH MUCH OF THE CURRENT SNOWFALL CONTAINING A HIGH AMOUNT OF
LIQUID WATER...SNOW WILL BE VERY HEAVY...CREATING RAPID FATIGUE
AND POSSIBLY DANGEROUS HEALTH PROBLEMS FOR THOSE NOT USED TO
SHOVELING SUCH WEIGHTS. REST FREQUENTLY AS NEEDED AND SET
REALISTIC DEADLINES FOR CLEARING SUCH LARGE AMOUNTS OF SNOW FROM
YOUR PROPERTY.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
300 PM MST FRI DEC 29 2006

.DISCUSSION...UPPER LOW CENTERED OVER FAR SOUTHWEST NEW MEXICO
APPEARS TO NOT HAVE BUDGED MUCH IN THE LAST 12-24 HOURS. UPPER JET
STILL STRONGER ON THE BACK SIDE OF IT THIS MORNING. WOULD THINK THE
INCOMING SYSTEM MOVING ONSHORE PAC NW ATTM WOULD BOOT OUT THE LOW
FASTER THAN MODELS SUGGESTING...BUT INSTEAD THE SHARP RIDGE INTO THE
NRN ROCKIES REMAINS RELATIVELY INTACT...AND THE LOW IS SHOWN TO END
UP REFORMING NEAR CLOVIS LATE TONIGHT...AND THEN MEANDERING OVER THE
TX PHNDL THROUGH SATURDAY BEFORE LIFTING INTO OK.

AS WE DID YESTERDAY...WILL CONCENTRATE ON THE FIRST 12 TO 18 HOURS
IN THIS PACKAGE. IF PROJECTED TRACK OF LOW CENTER IS
CORRECT...NORTHEAST TO EAST WINDS AOB MOUNTAINTOP LEVELS INTO THE
CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN SHOULD GRADUALLY TURN TO THE NORTH BETWEEN
MIDNIGHT AND 18Z SATURDAY. THIS SHOULD START TO SHUT DOWN LAST
NIGHT/S AND TODAY/S PERSISTENT AND STEADY SNOWFALL INTO TORRANCE AND
SANTA FE COUNTIES...AMONG OTHERS.  WHAT REMAINS CONSISTENT IS ARE
THE STRONGER NORTH TO NORTHWEST WINDS WHICH DEVELOP IN THE LOWER
LEVELS OVER THE NORTHEAST AND EAST CENTRAL PLAINS
SATURDAY...ALTHOUGH IT/S NOT AS IMPRESSIVE AS IT LOOKED 24 HOURS
AGO.

THERE WILL BE ADDITIONAL WRAP AROUND SNOW OCCURRING INTO CENTRAL AND
WESTERN NEW MEXICO...BUT DOES APPEAR MOST OF THE SNOW WILL BE DONE
ACCUMULATING BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON...ALTHOUGH SOME BLOWING AND
DRIFTING SNOW MAY CONTINUE INTO SUNDAY OVER NORTHEAST NM.

WILL LEAVE MOST HIGHLIGHTS AS IS FOR NOW...AS PCPN CONTINUES TO
ROTATE INTO WRN AREAS THIS AFTERNOON. IMAGERY SHOWS PCPN ALSO
SAGGING SWWD...MAY UPGRADE 16-17 TO WARNING AS A SNOW BAND PERSISTS
OVER NORTHEAST LINCOLN COUNTY.

THIS MAY BE THE SEASON FOR CLOSED LOWS...ANOTHER ONE IS FORECAST BY
THE GFS TO MAKE AN APPEARANCE SHORTLY AFTER NEW YEARS DAY.
