AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
303 PM MDT SUN APR 9 2006

...CORRECTED TABLE INFO AND HIGHLIGHTS AT BOTTOM...

.DISCUSSION...AN ENHANCED SUB-TROPICAL JET /STJ/ DEVELOPING FROM
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA/NORTHERN BAJA REGION SOUTHWESTWARD TONIGHT WILL
TRANSLATE NEWD WITH THE JET AXIS NOW PROGGED IN THE VICINITY OF THE
FOUR CORNERS REGION MONDAY AFTERNOON...SLIGHTLY FARTHER NORTHWEST
THAN WAS INDICATED BY THE MODELS YESTERDAY. THIS JET WILL DEVELOP
AHEAD OF AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH THAT WILL MOVE INLAND AND OVER THE
WESTERN GREAT BASIN NEXT 24-36 HOURS.

FOCUS IN THE SHORT-TERM WILL BE ON INCREASING SFC WINDS AND ASSOCD
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS. 700-500 MB LAYER WINDS EXPECTED TO
REACH THE 40-45 KNOT RANGE...WITH 500 MB WINDS WELL INTO THE 50 KNOT
RANGE. CONSIDERABLE MID/HIGH CLOUDS WILL ACCOMPANY THIS STJ OVER THE
AREA LATE TONIGHT INTO MONDAY...WHICH WILL LIMIT DEEP MIXING AND
LIKELY KEEP THE LOWER ELEVATIONS/VALLEYS FROM REACHING FULL WIND
POTENTIAL GIVEN THAT THE MSLP GRADIENT WILL NOT BE IDEAL FOR HIGH
WINDS.  THE HIGHER TERRAIN WILL BE A DIFFERENT STORY...HOWEVER...AND
FEEL THAT WINDS SHOULD HIT SPEED/DURATION CRITERION DESPITE A THICK
CANOPY OF CLOUDS.

OTHER FORECAST CHALLENGE TOMORROW WILL BE POP PLACEMENT. BOTH THE
NAM AND GFS ARE NOW INDICATING A MUCH MORE ROBUST JET MAX /130+ KTS/
AND CORRESPONDING HIGH LEVEL DIVERGENT FIELD IN THE VICINITY OF THE
JET AXIS.  SO UPWARD FORCING FOR LIFT WILL DEFINITELY BE IN
PLACE...THE QUESTION WILL BE DEPTH/QUALITY OF MOISTURE.  LOW LEVELS
WILL REMAIN RELATIVELY DRY THROUGH ENTIRE DAY...BUT APPEARS THAT
GOOD INFLUX OF MID-LEVEL MOISTURE WILL COMPENSATE AND RESULT IN
SPOTTY MOSTLY LIGHT SHOWERS INITIALLY OVER THE GILA REGION BUT
EXPANDING NORTHWARD AS THE DAY PROGRESSES. CANNOT RULE OUT ISOLD
THUNDER...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE WC/SW MOUNTAINS...BUT WITH BKN/OVC
SKIES INSTABILITY MAY BE LIMITED.

TUESDAY STILL LOOKING LIKE A TWEENER DAY...ALTHOUGH KEPT IN SMALL
POPS ACROSS THE FAR NORTH FOR DIURNAL CONVECTION. AN UPPER RIDGE
BUILDS OVER THE AREA WEDNESDAY AND DOMINATES THROUGH THURSDAY. GFS
NOW SLOWER WITH THE SYSTEM LATE THIS WEEK AND IS TRENDING TOWARD
YESTERDAY/S MEDIUM RANGE CONSENSUS. ALTHOUGH SLOWER...MODEL
CONSENSUS INCLUDING THE 12Z GFS IS TO LIFT THE TROUGH OUT FARTHER TO
THE NORTH WHICH WOULD RESULT IN MORE OF A WIND BAG SCENARIO FOR OUR
AREA.    KJ
