AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
300 PM MDT SAT MAY 27 2006

...CONTINUED WINDY AND DRY THRU SUNDAY OVER NORTHERN NEW MEXICO...

.DISCUSSION...
MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS THROUGH THE SHORT TERM INCLUDE HEADLINES FOR
BOTH PUBLIC AND FIRE WEATHER ZONES. WILL USE A BLEND OF THE NAM/GFS
FOR THE AFTERNOON PACKAGE AS EACH MODEL HAS DIFFERENT ASPECTS THAT
SEEM APPEALING. SUNNY SKIES NOTED THIS AFTERNOON WITH THE EXCEPTION
OF THIN HIGH CLOUDS PASSING THROUGH NORTH CENTRAL NEW MEXICO. UPPER
LOW CONTINUES TO TRAVERSE THE GREAT BASIN...CREATING AN INCREASING
SW FLOW ACROSS THE FOUR CORNERS REGION. SFC WINDS ALREADY A CONCERN
THIS AFTERNOON AS NEAR ADVISORY TYPE SPEEDS ARE NOTED WITHIN THE NE
QUADRANT OF THE STATE...COMPLIMENTS OF A LEE-SIDE TROUGH. WINDS ARE
ALREADY CLIMBING ACROSS THE WRN ZONES AS AN 85KT 500MB JET ADVANCES
TOWARD THE FOUR CORNERS. THIS TROUGH/JET IS PROGGED TO WEAKEN AS IT
MOVES EASTWARD...HOWEVER WINDS WILL REMAIN STRONG ENOUGH TO WARRANT
WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA OVER THE NRN CWA SUN. EXPECT HIGHEST VALUES
TO OCCUR ALONG/EAST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN...MAINLY N OF THE
INTERSTATE 40 CORRIDOR AS SFC GRADIENT COMBINES WITH MIXING TO NEAR
550MB PER NAM12 SOUNDINGS. WITH IT BEING THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND...HAVE
DECIDED TO HOIST A WIND ADVISORY FOR OUR NRN TIER OF ZONES FROM 17Z
THROUGH 02Z TOMORROW. AFOREMENTIONED WIND SPEEDS COMBINED WITH VERY
LOW HUMIDITIES WILL POSE A SERIOUS THREAT FOR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS. WILL UPGRADE ALL ZONES TO A RED FLAG WARNING FOR SUNDAY.
MOST AREAS WILL BE MOSTLY SUNNY TOMORROW...HOWEVER SOME HIGH CLOUDS
COULD STREAM ACROSS THE STATE IN ADVANCE OF BAROCLINIC BOUNDARY. A
VERY WARM AFTERNOON IS EXPECTED EAST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN
WITH TEMPS CLIMBING INTO THE 90S. FEEL FOUS IS TOO LOW WITH RESPECT
TO HIGHS/WINDS FOR SUN...THEREFORE WILL GO ABOVE THE WARMER/HIGHER
MET NUMBERS IN THE CENTRAL/ERN CWFA...BANKING ON SOME COMPRESSIONAL
HEATING AND PLENTY OF MIXING.

GRADIENT RELAXES ON MON...HOWEVER BREEZY CONDITIONS ARE ANTICIPATED
TO PERSIST ALONG/EAST OF THE CENTRAL MTN CHAIN. MODELS ARE TORN AS
TO WHETHER SURFACE BOUNDARY PUSHING SOUTHWARD ALONG THE FRONT RANGE
SUN NIGHT WILL INVADE THE NE PLAINS. NAM SUGGESTS THIS FEATURE WILL
ENGULF THE NE HIGHLANDS/PLAINS THRU TUCUMCARI. GFS HOLDS THIS FRONT
ALONG THE CO BORDER THROUGH TUE AFTERNOON. TRENDING TOWARD THE GFS
AS SW FLOW SHOULD CONTROL THE SOUTHWARD PUSH OF THIS FEATURE. THIS
WOULD ALLOW FOR A POTENTIAL FIRE WEATHER CONCERN ACROSS THE EAST IF
THIS SOLUTION PANS OUT. WILL HOLD OFF ISSUING ANY HEADLINES FOR MON
AS FORECASTER CONFIDENCE REMAINS MEAGER.

REINFORCING SHOT OF COOLER AIR WILL WORK INTO THE NE PLAINS TUE EVE
AND CLEAR THE ERN PLAINS BY EARLY WED MORNING. EXPECT SFC MOISTURE
TO INCREASE IN ITS WAKE. AFTERNOON/EVENING PCPN CHANGES INCREASE ON
WED AS UPSLOPE FLOW INTERACTS WITH DAYTIME HEATING/MOISTURE. EXPECT
MOISTURE TO WORK WESTWARD BENEATH DEVELOPING UPPER HIGH MID TO LATE
WEEK TOWARD THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE. EXTENDED LOOKS REASONABLE WITH
POPS EXPANDING WESTWARD. THIS SCENARIO MAY POSE INTERESTING FOR THE
FIRE SUPPRESSION COMMUNITY AS LIGHTNING STRIKES WITHIN DRIER STORMS
MAY SPAWN NEW WILDFIRES WITHIN CENTRAL/WRN NM. WILL NEED TO MONITOR
SITUATION IF PATTERN MATERIALIZES. DPORTER
