CROSSES OVERHEAD. THE JET WILL LINGER OVER THE EAST ON SATURDAY...
AND ANOTHER WIND ADVISORY MAY BE ISSUED BY LATER SHIFTS SATURDAY
MORNING THROUGH AFTERNOON ALONG AND EAST OF THE SOUTH CENTRAL
MOUNTAINS. WINDS WILL DIMINISH SIGNIFICANTLY SATURDAY NIGHT AND
SUNDAY AS A COLD FRONT FINISHES PUSHING FROM EAST TO WEST ACROSS THE

THE DEEP UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE TROUGH DRIVING THE JET STREAM
ACROSS THE AREA WILL STRENGTHEN OVER THE FOUR CORNERS REGION

NEW MEXICO TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY BEFORE IT COMPLETELY EXITS
THE AREA. MODELS DEPICT TWO MAIN LOBES TO PRODUCE THE MOST
SIGNIFICANT FORCING FOR PRECIPITATION. THE FIRST LOBE WILL
MAXIMIZE THE CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FROM WEST
CENTRAL TO NORTH CENTRAL AREAS SATURDAY...AND ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL
AND NORTHEAST AREAS SUNDAY AS IT EJECTS TO THE NORTHEAST. THE
SECOND LOBE WILL DRAW AMPLE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE INTO THE SOUTHEAST

SUNDAY. THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP
FROM THE SOUTH CENTRAL MOUNTAINS TO THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS SUNDAY
