AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
850 PM MDT WED JUN 6 2007

.UPDATE...WILL ALLOW HIGH WIND WARNING TO EXPIRE AS SCHEDULED
BUT WILL KEEP A WIND ADVISORY GOING OVERNIGHT FOR PARTS OF
THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN AND ADJACENT HIGHLANDS AS WINDS
ALOFT WILL REMAIN STRONG OVERNIGHT.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...300 PM MDT WED JUN 6 2007...
HIGH WIND EVENT ONGOING WITH GUSTS PUSHING INTO THE 60S MPH
BROADLY FROM GALLUP TO LAS VEGAS AND EAST TO CLAYTON. SUSTAINED
SPEEDS RUNNING IN THE UPPER 30S MPH FOR MOST INTERMEDIATE POINTS
WITH GUSTS IN THE UPPER 40S AND LOW 50S MPH. CLOSED LOW ALOFT
MOVING INTO WESTERN WYOMING WITH TIGHT CIRCULATION AROUND THE BASE
CONTINUES AMPLE SUPPLY OF MOMENTUM ALOFT TO NEW MEXICO WITH
AFTERNOON MIXING BRINGING THIS RAPIDLY TO THE SURFACE. WILL
MAINTAIN HIGH WIND WARNING INTO THE EVENING...AND WILL EXPECT
THESE TO COME DOWN TO TRAILING WIND ADVISORIES THROUGH THE LATE
EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT.

MODELS...LOCKED TOGETHR THROUGH THURSDAY...WITH SOME DIFFERENCES
EMERGING ON PLACEMENT AND TIMING OF SOME UPSTREAM FEATURES HEADING
TOWARD THE WEEKEND. GOOD CONSENSUS SOLUTION MOVES BULK OF TROUGH
ENERGY INTO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES AND UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
ON THURSDAY...WITH SHORTWAVE DIGGING INTO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA IN
ITS WAKE...AND THIS FEATURE WILL PERISIST IN SOME FORM WEST OF NEW
MEXICO FOR MUCH OF THE UPCOMING WORK WEEK.

WITH SPEEDY FLOW ALOFT EASING ONLY GRADUALLY OVERNIGHT...EXPECTING
ANOTHER BREEZY DAY ON THURSDAY...THOUGH WIND SPEEDS SHOULD BE
CONSIDERABLY LESS THAN THOSE EXPERIENCED TODAY. WITH CLOSED LOW
ALOFT SETTING UP OVER EASTERN UTAH AND WESTERN COLORADO...FASTEST
FLOW WILL SHEAR OUT ACROSS THE TX AND OK PANHANDLES WITH SLOWER
FLOW FILLING IN BEHIND. WITH SURFACE LOW ALSO PARADING EAST WITH
DYNAMIC SPONSOR UPSTAIRS... AND HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS OVER
ARIZONA...WILL EXPECT WEAKENING OF SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT WITH
CONSEQUENT REDUCED PUSH ON THURSDAY OVER WHAT HAS BEEN SEEN TODAY.
SOME COOLER AIR PENETRATING SOUTH AND EAST WILL ALSO HELP
STABILIZE THE LOWER ATMOSPHERE...AND NARROW UP THE MIXING WINDOW
FOR MOMENTUM TRANSPORT TO THE SURFACE.

FIRE WEATHER...RED FLAGS STILL FLYING TODAY FOR WESTERNMOST
ZONES...AS HUMIDITIES DROP BROADLY INTO THE TEENS AND SINGLE
DIGITS IN TEETH OF BLUSTERY WINDS. ANTICIPATING A BREEZY AND DRY
DAY AGAIN TOMORROW...BUT DURATION OF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER WILL BE
CONSIDERABLY REDUCED TO SEVERAL HOURS...AND THIS COVERAGE WILL NOT
BE ESPECIALLY BROAD. HAVE OPTED FOR HEADLINES IN THE PLANNING
FORECAST BUT WILL HOLD SHORT OF HOISTING FLAGS FOR THIS ROUND.
WILL CONTINUE MONITORING FUEL CONDITIONS TO THE EAST AS WELL.

INTO FRIDAY...TRAILING TROUGH STARTING TO ROUND UP INTO CLOSED LOW
OFF THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY COAST...CONTINUING WEAK SOUTHWEST FLOW
INTO NEW MEXICO ALOFT. TROUGH ALOFT WILL SPONSOR SOME STRUCTURE
FOR BROAD SURFACE TROUGH FROM NORTHERN MEXICO TO THE FOUR
CORNERS...AND LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TRANSPORT FROM THE WESTERN GULF
OF MEXICO INTO EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE WILL GRADAULLY BOOST
SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES FROM SOUTHEAST TO NORTH AND WEST.

INTO SATURDAY...HIGH AMPLITUDE TROUGH STILL PARKED OVER WEST
COAST...WITH CLOUD AND SHOWER CHANCES NOW PENETRATING FROM
SOUTHEAST TO THE NORTHWEST OVER EAST CENTRAL PLAINS...NORTHERN
MOUNTAINS...AND THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN. WITH SOME SPEED AND
DIRECTIONAL SHEAR IN THE VERTICAL ON SATURDAY...SOME OF THESE
SHOWERS COULD HAVE USUAL ROUNDS OF HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS.

INTO SUNDAY...INCREASING AMPLITUDE OF WEST COAST TROUGH WILL SHIFT
WINDS ALOFT TO SOUTHERLY...AND SHIFT FOCUS OF SURFACE LOW WESTWARD
INTO ARIZONA...PUTTING STATE IN BROAD BUT DRY SOUTHERLY FLOW.
PATTERN WILL SET UP THE HOT DAY OF THE WEKEEND FOR MOST OF THE
STATE...WITH FAIRLY DISORGANIZED AIRMAS THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE AS
SURFACE TEMPERATURE ROLLS THROUGH CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURE THRESHOLDS.

FIRST OF THE WORK WEEK...WEST COAST TROUGH WILL INCH EVER CLOSER
TO NEW MEXICO...WITH GRADUALLY INCREASING CLOUD COVERAGE AND
SHOWER CHANCES STATEWIDE. SOME COOLER AIR UNDER THE TROUGH MAY
HELP ENHANCE AND ORGANIZE SHOWERS THROUGH MIDWEEK.
