Area forecast discussion, Apr 10, 3:01 AM MDT, 3 hours 46 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM 301 AM MDT MON APR 10 2006 CORRECTED THE THIRD PARAGRAPH .DISCUSSION...WIND ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT TODAY ALONG THE CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AND THEIR ADJACENT HIGH PLAINS TO THE EAST. WE EXTENDED THE ADVISORY TO THE NORTHEAST HIGHLANDS...BUT DROPPED THE ADVISORY FOR THE WEST CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST MOUTNAINS. SATELLITE DEPICTS ABUNDANT CLOUDINESS THAT WILL CROSS ALL BUT THE NORTHWEST CORNER TODAY. THESE CLOUDS WILL LIMIT MIXING IN THE WEST...WHERE 10K FOOT WINDS ARE ONLY EXPECTED TO BRIEFLY REACH 30 KNOTS. ON THE EAST SLOPES OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN...THE STRONGER COMPONENT OF DOWNSLOPE FLOW FROM THE SOUTHWEST WINDS SHOULD ENABLE WINDS TO MEET WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA DESPITE THE CLOUDS. FIRE WEATHER WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR ALL BUT THE NORTHWEST PLATEAU AND NORTH CENTRAL MOUNTAINS TODAY. WE WILL UPGRADE SOME OR ALL OF THIS WATCH TO A WARNING WITH THE MORNING FIRE WEATHER FORECAST. ISOLATED DRY THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELP NEAR THE WEST CENTRAL MOUNTAINS...SOUTHWEST MOUNTAINS AND SOUTH CENTRAL MOUNTAINS THIS AFTERNOON AS WEAK SHORTWAVES CROSS THE AREA IN THE ELEVATED MOISTURE TRAIN FROM THE SOUTHWEST. THIS EVENING...LOW LEVEL HUMIDITIES WILL COME UP ENOUGH FOR ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO SPREAD ACROSS THE REST OF THE AREA EXCEPT FOR THE NORTHEAST PLAINS. FOR A TIME...THE ACTIVITY MAY BECOME SCATTERED ACROSS THE NORTHWEST MOUNTAINS...CLOSER TO THE COLD CORE OF A PASSING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH. AFTER MIDNIGHT...THE THUNDER WILL ABATE WHILE RAIN SHOWERS AND HIGH TERRAIN SNOW SHOWERS CONTINUE. TUESDAY WILL BRING DRIER WEATHER...AND THE TAIL END OF THE POLAR JET CORE WILL LINGER ABOVE THE EASTERN PLAINS. THUS...WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA WINDS MAY AGAIN BE REACHED ALONG AND EAST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN UNTIL LATE IN THE AFTERNOON. AND...FIRE WEATHER VARIABLES MAY AGAIN REACH CRITICAL THRESHOLDS. CALMER WINDS AND DRY WEATHER WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE LATER HALF OF THE WEEK. LONG RANGE MODELS SUGGEST ANOTHER WIND EVENT THIS WEEKEND WITH A CHANCE FOR PRECIP ACROSS THE WEST AND NORTH MOUNTAINS. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
