AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
300 AM MDT MON MAY 22 2006

.DISCUSSION...MAIN FOCUS ON THIS FORECAST PACKAGE WILL BE ON THE
NEXT 18 HOURS OR SO WITH CONCERNS BEING WINDS...FIRE WEATHER AND
EXTENT OF PRECIP.

RIDGE HAS SHIFTED E AS W COAST SYSTEM IS NOW MOVING INLAND. THIS
TROUGH WILL LIFT NE TODAY WITH TROUGH AXIS MOVING ACROSS NM LATE
TODAY INTO TONIGHT. MEANWHILE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE HAS BACKED INTO
NM FROM THE SE AND EVEN SPILLED INTO PARTS OF THE THE RIO GRANDE
VALLEY. RATHER THIN DRY SLOT WORKING INTO WRN NM EARLY THIS AM.
ALL THIS MAKES FOR A RATHER COMPLICATED FORECAST TODAY AND EARLY
TONIGHT. EXTENT OF WINDS AND CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS TO
DEPEND ON AMOUNT OF CLOUD COVER AND DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS AND
STORMS. FEELING IS WINDS WILL BE STRONG ENOUGH TO REACH ADVISORY
CRITERIA OVER MUCH OF THE W AND CNTRL ZONES. WILL ISSUE A WIND
ADVISORY FOR ZNS 2..3..4..8..9..10..14 AND 15. WINDS WILL SCOUR
OUT SOME OF THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE OVER THE CNTRL ZNS ONTO THE ERN
HIGH PLAINS. THUS WILL HOIST A RED FLAG WARNING FOR MOST OF THE
AREA...WITH THE EXCEPTIONS IN THE FAR NE AND EC PLAINS. WE MATCH
UP PRETTY WELL WITH OUR NEIGHBORS. AS FOR PRECIP...WILL CARRY THE
BEST CHANCES OVER THE N...AND IN PARTICULAR THE NRN MOUNTAINS.
THERE COULD BE SOME STRONG STORMS OVER THE N OR FAR E...WITH THE
MAIN CONCERN FOR STRONG WIND GUSTS.

WINDS DIMINISH THIS EVE WHILE CONVECTION CONTINUES OVER THE N AND
E THROUGH ABOUT MIDNIGHT. TUE WILL BE A DRY AND MORE TRANQUIL DAY
EXCEPT IN THE NE...WHERE WINDY CONDITIONS AND LOWER DEWPOINTS POSE
THE THREAT FOR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS. HAVE EXPANDED THE
FIRE WEATHER WATCH TO INCLUDE ALL OF NE AND EC AREAS.
