AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
300 PM MDT FRI MAY 26 2006

...WINDY AND DRY CONDITIONS EXPECTED DURING THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND...

.DISCUSSION...
MAIN FORECAST ISSUES THRU THE UPCOMING HOLIDAY WEEKEND INCLUDE FIRE
WEATHER HIGHLIGHTS. UPPER LEVEL SW FLOW PERSISTS ACROSS THE LAND OF
ENCHANTMENT WITH A FEW DISTURBANCES EMBEDDED WITHIN PATTERN. SADLY
ENOUGH...NOT MUCH MOISTURE FOR THESE WAVES TO INTERACT WITH. CU HAS
ALREADY DEVELOPED ALONG THE ERN SLOPES OF THE CENTRAL MTS WITHIN AN
AREA OF 9.5C/KM 700-500MB LAPSE RATES. ACTIVITY IS VERY HIGH BASED
AND COULD PRODUCE A FEW SPRINKLES AND GUSTY WINDS AT BEST. THE BEST
REGION FOR THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD OCCUR OVER THE SE PLAINS WHERE DEW
POINTS ARE THE HIGHEST...EAST OF THE SFC DRYLINE. PER KFDX RADAR...
IT APPEARS THIS BOUNDARY IS LOCATED OVER KCVS WITH CU FIRING WITHIN
THE VICINITY. WINDS SHOULD DECOUPLE THIS EVENING WITH SKC EXPECTED.
LOW TEMPS WILL BE 5 TO 10 DEGREES ABOVE SEASONAL AVERAGES. THE ONLY
SIGNIFICANT CHANGE TO THE MIN-T GRID WAS TO ADJUST FOR A MID-SLOPE
INVERSION...GENERALLY BETWEEN 6500-8000 FEET. HAVE RAISED LOW TEMPS
FOR THESE FAVORED LOCALES BASED ON RAWS SITES THIS MORNING. RFW SET
TO EXPIRE FOR THE NE CORNER OF THE STATE AT 02Z. POOR RH RECOVERIES
ARE ANTICIPATED TONIGHT...EXCLUDING THE FAR SE PLAINS WHERE DRYLINE
SHOULD RETREAT.

SIMILAR PATTERN EXPECTED FOR SAT...HOWEVER UPPER GRADIENT WILL TEND
TO TIGHTEN ACROSS THE WRN ZONES AS WEAKENING UPPER LOW INVADES THE
PACIFIC NW. EXPECT BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS ACROSS THE NE PLAINS
IN ASSOCIATION WITH LEE-SIDE TROUGH AND BREEZY CONDITIONS MIXING TO
THE SFC ACROSS THE WRN ZONES. SLIGHT COOLING EXPECTED ALOFT FOR SAT
WHICH SHOULD TRANSLATE TO THE SURFACE. ABUNDANT SUNSHINE PROGGED...
HOWEVER CONCERNED THAT FOUS MAY BE TOO COOL FOR HIGHS. WILL GO WITH
THE WARMER MET NUMBERS FOR MOST LOCALES. WITH STRONG WINDS COUPLED
WITH CRASHING RH VALUES BELOW TEN PERCENT...HAVE UPGRADED THE FIRE
WEATHER WATCH TO A RED FLAG WARNING FOR TOMORROW AFTERNOON INTO THE
EARLY EVENING HRS WHICH INCLUDES ALL FIRE WEATHER ZONES. MID-SLOPE
LOWS MAY BE LOWER COMPARED TO PREVIOUS NIGHTS AS 700MB TEMPS COOL...
BUT COULD BE COUNTERACTED BY INCREASING FLOW ALOFT.

APPEARS SUN WILL BE THE WORST FIRE WX DAY WITH RESPECT TO CRITICAL
CONDITIONS AS WINDS INCREASE ONCE AGAIN. EXPECT A 55KT 500MB JET TO
INVADE THE NW CWFA...ALLOWING FOR WINDY CONDITIONS FOR THE NRN HALF
OF NM. HIGH CLOUDS MAY DEVELOP IN ADVANCE OF BAROCLINIC BOUNDARY...
MAINLY AFFECTING THE WRN/NRN ZONES. COOLER MAX TEMPS ANTICIPATED ON
SUNDAY COMPLIMENTS OF THE COOLING ALOFT WITH CONTINUED HOT READINGS
ACROSS THE ERN PLAINS. ALTHOUGH RH VALUES WILL RECOVER SLIGHTLY FOR
SUNDAY IN THE WEST DUE TO THE COOLER TEMPS AND SLIGHTLY HIGHER DEW
POINTS...VALUES WILL REMAIN BELOW CRITICAL THRESHOLDS. HAVE DECIDED
TO HOIST A FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR ALL FIRE WX ZONES FOR THIS PERIOD.

LESS WIND EXPECTED FOR MONDAY...HOWEVER BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS
ARE PROGGED FOR AREAS EAST OF THE CENTRAL MTN CHAIN. SFC FRONT WILL
SWING THROUGH THE STATE MON/MON NIGHT WITH A REINFORCING BACK DOOR
SURGE TUES NIGHT. SFC MOISTURE MAY INCREASE IN THE WAKE OF FRONT...
WORKING TOWARD THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE. GFS SUGGESTS UPR HIGH SHOULD
DOMINATE THE STATE MID TO LATE WORK WEEK. DAYTIME HEATING MAY ALLOW
FOR INTERACTION WITH AFOREMENTIONED MOISTURE TO PRODUCE ISOLD -SHRA
AND/OR STORMS. DPORTER
