AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
245 PM MDT SUN JUL 1 2007

.DISCUSSION...
CLOSED HIGH ALOFT CENTERED OVER THE LOWER COLORADO RIVER VALLEY IN
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND ARIZONA PROVIDING KEY CONTROL OVER NEW
MEXICO WEATHER THIS AFTERNOON...UNDERLAIN BY BROAD SURFACE THERMAL
TROUGH FROM WESTERN ARIZONA ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO TO ROSWELL.
CIRCULATION ABOUT SURFACE TROUGH AND NEAR TROUGH AXIS PROVIDING
TOPOGRAPHIC BOOST TO DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON
THE EASTERN SLOPES OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN...AS SURFACE
TEMPERATURES PUSH EASILY PAST CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURES BROADLY IN
THE MID 90S. EXPECTING MOST ACTIVITY TO DIE DOWN AFTER
SUNSET...AS TEMPERATURE TRIGGERS VANISH AND CONVECTION IS LEFT TO
THE MERCY OF OUTFLOW BOUNDARY CONVERGENCE AND COLLISIONS WITH
TOPOGRAPHY.

MODELS...AGREEING WELL ON MAINTAINING STATUS QUO FOR MOST OF
UPCOMING WORK WEEK. SOME TRANSLATION OF CLOSED HIGH NORTHWARD BY
LATE IN THE WORK WEEK MAY PERMIT SOME NORTHWARD PENETRATION OF
MOISTURE AND DYNAMICS FROM NORTHERN MEXICO AND SOUTHWEST TEXAS INTO
EASTERN AND SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA...BUT THE
MARGINAL INCREASE IN CLOUDS AND SHOWER COVERAGE WILL BE MODEST AT BEST.

MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...BROAD PERSISTENT SURFACE EASTERLY FLOW
INTO THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN WILL TOUCH OFF ANOTHER ROUND OF
ISOLATED AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY FROM THE
CRESTS EASTWARD...WITH WEAKLY NORTH FLOW WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS.
CONTINUED WARM TEMPERATURES OUT WEST.

LAST HALF OF THE WORK WEEK...SOME EROSION OF EASTERN MARGINS OF
THE CLOSED HIGH ALOFT WILL BROADEN CLOUD COVERAGE AND TWEAK UP
SHOWERS CHANCES MAINLY FOR EASTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA. SOME
WEAK DISTURBANCES MOVING FROM NORTHEAST TO SOUTHWEST ON THE
EASTERN MARGINS OF THE CLOSED HIGH MAY HELP TRIGGER A FEW MORE
EAST SLOPE SHOWERS NEAR THE COLORADO BORDER AND CENTRAL MOUNTAIN
CHAIN. TEMPERATURES MODERATING SLIGHTLY AS THE WORK WEEK WRAPS UP.
