AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
216 PM MST FRI NOV 30 2007

.DISCUSSION...
AGAIN WILL CONCENTRATE ON THE SHORT TERM AS DEEP MOISTURE PLUME
INVADES THE STATE TON AND SAT...BRINGING SIGNIFICANT RAIN AND HIGH
ELEVATION SNOWFALL.

STORM STILL SWIRLING OFF BAJA CALIFORNIA BUT HAS BEGUN TO MOVE TO
THE E. IT WILL ACCELERATE AND WEAKEN AS IT MOVES NE TON AND SAT.
HOWEVER...DEEP LAYER OF MOISTURE IS POISED TO POUR INTO NM TON
AND SAT FROM AZ AND OLD MEXICO. LIGHT PRECIPITATION OVER PORTIONS
OF THE STATE THIS PM WILL INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY TON
AND CONTINUE MUCH OF THE DAY SAT. SIGNIFICANT RAIN EXPECTED OVER
THE LOWLANDS...WHILE SUBSTANTIAL SNOWFALL IS EXPECTED ABOVE 7500
TO 8500 FEET. BULK OF THIS SNOW WILL BE IN THE NORTHWEST MOUNTAINS
AND SANGRE DE CRISTO MOUNTAINS WHERE ONE TO TWO FEET COULD FALL IN
THE FAVORED HIGH...SW FACING SLOPES. RATHER STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS
WILL CREATE MORE PROBLEMS...BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW AND GREATLY
REDUCED VISIBILITIES. WILL ADD THUNDER TO THE W LATE TON AND ALL
AREAS SAT AS INSTABILITY INCREASES. LIFTED INDICIES DROP TO ZERO
OR BELOW.

THE OTHER WEATHER PROBLEM FOR SAT WILL BE THE WINDS. 700 MB WINDS
STILL ADVERTISED TO BE IN THE 50 TO 60 KNOT RANGE OVER THE E WITH
500 MB WINDS NEAR 90 KNOTS. DEVELOPING DRY SLOT OVER THE E ON SAT
WILL ALLOW FOR SOME SUNSHINE AND HEATING...AIDING IN MIXING. THESE
FACTORS WILL PROMPT THE ISSUANCE OF A HIGH WIND WARNING FOR NE NM
AND THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS...WITH A WIND ADVISORY SURROUNDING THESE
AREAS...NAMELY THE SANDIA AND MANZANO MOUNTAINS...THE SOUTH CENTRAL
MOUNTAINS AND THE REST OF ERN NM.

WINDS WILL APPROACH ADVISORY CRITERIA OVER MUCH OF THE W SAT AND
LATER SHIFTS WILL NEED TO BE MONITOR FOR POSSIBLE INCLUSION IN THE
WIND ADVISORY. COLDER AIR WILL BEGIN TO MOVE INTO THE NW LATE SAT
AND MUCH OF THE AREA SAT NIGHT. ENOUGH LINGERING MOISTURE MAY EXIST
TO TURN THE RAIN TO SNOW OVER MUCH OF THE W...AS WELL AS THE CENTRAL
AND SOUTH CENTRAL MOUNTAINS...CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS AND NE HIGHLANDS
SAT NIGHT. WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES MAY NEED TO BE ISSUED FOR
SOME OF THESE AREAS ON LATER SHIFTS.

THE WINDS AND PRECIPITATION WILL DIMINISH BY SUN WITH ANY LINGERING
PRECIPITATION CONFINED TO THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS. RIDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE TO BRING DRY AND MILDER CONDITIONS MON AND TUE. INCREASING
NW FLOW MID AND LATE WEEK WILL ALLOW A COUPLE OF UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCES AND SURFACE COLD FRONTS TO AFFECT NM WITH AN INCREASE
IN MOISTURE AND CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION. CHJ
