AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
228 PM MDT FRI APR 14 2006

.DISCUSSION...WINDS ARE THE MAIN CONCERN IN THE SHORT TERM.

SATELLITE/RUC ANALYSIS SHOWS 120KT JET MOVING TOWARD US AS UPPER LOW
OFF THE SRN CALIF COAST BECOMING AN OPEN WAVE. CORE OF STRONGEST SW
WINDS WILL PASS OVER NEW MEXICO FROM W TO E TONIGHT INTO SAT
MORNING. WINDS STARTING TO INCREASE IN THE HEAT OF THE DAY OVER ERN
ARIZONA AS MID LEVEL WINDS MIX TO SURFACE.  EXPECT MIXING TO REACH
WRN NM PRIOR TO DUSK.  CLOUDS SHOULD KEEP WINDS FROM DECOUPLING
AFTER DARK...COINCIDENT WITH WIND MAX PASSAGE. THUS HIGHEST WINDS
OVER WRN NM SHOULD OCCUR LATE THIS EVENING.  ALONG THE CENTRAL
MOUNTAIN CHAIN...PEAK WINDS WILL OCCUR LATE TONIGHT INTO SAT
MORNING...BUT WILL CONTINUE MUCH OF THE DAY SATURDAY. FINALLY...IN
THE EAST...WINDS SHOULD HOLD OFF UNTIL DAYBREAK AS SURFACE LOW
DEVELOPS OVER SE CO.  WILL ISSUE 3 SEGMENT WIND ADVISORY TO COVER
TIMING OF STRONGEST WINDS.  HIGH WIND WARNING CRITERIA IS NOT OUT OF
THE QUESTION FROM THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS EASTWARD...BUT WILL LET
SUBSEQUENT SHIFTS PIN THIS DOWN AND UPGRADE IF NECESSARY.

DRY AIR COUPLED WITH THE WINDS WILL CREATE CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS.  RED FLAG CONDITIONS ALREADY OBSERVED AT KLVS AND KCQC
SO WILL LET CURRENT RFW CONTINUE.  TOMORROW SEEMS LIKE A PRETTY GOOD
BET TO REPEAT SO WILL UPGRADE FIRE WEATHER WATCH TO A RED FLAG
WARNING AT THIS TIME.

NAM STILL MUCH MORE INTENT UPON GENERATING PRECIP OVER NW THIRD OF
AREA TONIGHT...WITH THE GFS SOMEWHAT DRIER.  DEW POINTS CURRENTLY
QUITE DRY...SO WILL TEND TO LEAN TOWARD LOWER MAV POPS.
HOWEVER...FAR NW...ESPECIALLY HIGHER TERRAIN OF SAN JUANS...COULD
SEE ENOUGH CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT AND TOP DOWN SATURATION TO WARRANT
LIKELY CATEGORY POPS. THUNDERSTORMS WITH GUSTY WINDS POSSIBLE...
MAINLY ALONG MID LEVEL INSTABILITY AXIS WHICH SHIFTS NE FROM WC MTS
MID EVENING TO NW MTS AFTER MIDNIGHT.  SNOW LEVELS COULD DROP TO AS
LOW AS 8000 FEET BY DAWN ALTHOUGH ANY ACCUMULATIONS WOULD BE
CONFINED TO AREAS AT LEAST A 1000 FEET HIGHER.

SHORT WAVE RIDGE SHOULD PROVIDE A BRIEF RESPITE FROM THE STRONG
WINDS FOR EASTER SUNDAY. HOWEVER ANOTHER SYSTEM CROSSING THE CENTRAL
ROCKIES EARLY NEXT WEEK WILL ONCE AGAIN BRING WINDY CONDITIONS TO
PARTS OF NM MON/TUE.

BEST CHANCE FOR ANY PRECIP BEYOND TONIGHT IS MEAGER AND MAINLY
CONFINED TO SE PLAINS...WHERE DRY LINE COULD BECOME ACTIVE LATE NEXT
WEEK...KD
