AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
300 PM MDT WED OCT 25 2006

.DISCUSSION...TOMORROW WILL DEFINITELY FEEL LIKE LATE FALL. A STRONG
UPPER LOW WILL TRACK ALONG THE NM/CO BORDER AND BRING BLOWING SNOW TO
THE FAR NORTHEAST AND STRONG WINDS OVER THE WHOLE FORECAST AREA.

WEAK DISTURBANCE CROSSED THE STATE TODAY AND WILL EXIT LATE THIS
AFTERNOON. A STRONG JET WILL MOVE OVER CENTRAL NM LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE NEXT UPPER LOW AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE
COLD FRONT IS DIGGING SOUTH OVER UT AND SHOULD ARRIVE AROUND THE
FOUR CORNERS AROUND MIDNIGHT. THE LOW THEN MOVES EAST ALONG THE
NM/CO BORDER. EVEN WITH MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH TIMING AND
PLACEMENT THRU 12Z THU...SNOW FORECAST IS TRICKY. BEST SNOW AMOUNTS
SHOULD REMAIN ALONG THE NORTHERN BORDER WITH CO FROM THE SANGRE DE
CRISTO MOUNTAINS EAST...INCLUDING RATON PASS AND FOLSOM. THE LOWER
ELEVATIONS OF THE NORTHEAST HIGHLANDS AND FAR NORTHEAST PLAINS WILL
START AS RAIN OR A RAIN SNOW MIX AND THEN TRANSITION OVER TO SNOW AS
THE CENTER OF THE LOW TRACKS OVERHEAD. WINDS WILL INCREASE TO
ADVISORY CATEGORY OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CWA...CAUSING THE
SNOW TO BLOW IN THE NORTHEAST. EXPECT WINDY CONDITIONS OVER THE
WESTERN HALF OF THE CWA BUT SHOULD REMAIN JUST BELOW ADVISORY
LEVELS. THE WINDS WILL MAKE TEMPERATURES FEEL EVEN COLDER THAN
THEY ARE. BETWEEN 12Z THU AND 0Z FRI THE GFS INCREASES THE LOWS SPEED
PLACING IT A COUPLE HUNDRED MILES EAST OF THE NAM PLACEMENT. GFS
LOOKS TOO FAST AND NAM SLIGHTLY SLOW WITH THE ECMWF TAKING UP THE
MIDDLE. WILL BLEND BETWEEN MODELS AS THE SYSTEM EXITS THE STATE.

WILL ISSUE A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF
THE SANGRE DE CRISTO MOUNTAINS...THE NORTHEAST HIGHLANDS AND FAR
NORTHEAST PLAINS. SNOW AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS AND A MIX CHANGING OVER
THE SNOW OVER THE LOWER ELEVATIONS IN COMBINATION WITH VERY STRONG
WINDS. THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE NORTHEAST HIGHLANDS MAY SEE
ISOLATED SHOWERS BUT THE STRONG GUSTY WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN
FEATURE. WILL ALSO ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY FROM AND INCLUDING THE
CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN EAST TO THE TX BORDER.

THE ATMOSPHERE WILL DRY CONSIDERABLY IN THE WAKE OF THIS SYSTEM.
A WEAK RIDGE BUILDS FOR THE WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES WILL SLOWLY WARM
THIS WEEKEND. A WEAK TROF TRACKS OVER THE STATE EARLY NEXT WEEK ALONG
WITH AN ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT. MOISTURE WILL BE LIMITED...SO POPS
WILL BE LIMITED AND JUST OVER THE EASTERN PLAINS TUESDAY.
