301 PM MDT FRI OCT 19 2007

.DISCUSSION...MAJOR CHANGES UPCOMING AS STRONG AND SOMEWHAT
DIGGING TROUGH COMES INTO THE STATE LATE SAT INTO SUN. WINDS AND
SHARP TEMP DROP MAIN FEATURES OF SYSTEM...BUT SOME POTENTIAL FOR
MOSTLY LIGHT SNOWS AS WELL FOR N CENTRAL AND NE NM BETWEEN LATE
SAT AND SUN NIGHT. DO NOT AS YET EXPECT GOOD CHANCE OF ADVISORY
CRITERIA SNOWS WITH POSSIBLE EXCEPTION OF N AND POSSIBLY CENTRAL
PORTIONS ZONE 5 AND 7 SUNDAY...BUT DAYTIME PEAK IN PCPN MOST
LIKELY RIGHT NOW WHICH WOULD LIMIT SOMEWHAT
ACCUMULATIONS...ESPECIALLY ON PAVEMENT. SO NO HIGHLIGHTS FOR THAT
THIS FAR OUT OTHER THAN A SPECIAL WX STATEMENT. DID ISSUE WIND
ADVISORY FOR SAT ZONES 1...2...4...5...8...10...11.

COOL BUT LESS WINDY MON AND THEN A WARMUP BY TUE OR WED.

...STRONG WINDS MUCH OF THE WEEKEND THEN THE COLDEST TEMPERATURES
OF THE SEASON FOR MOST OF NEW MEXICO EARLY NEXT WEEK...

AN INTENSIFYING AND COLD UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL DROP
SOUTHEASTWARD FROM THE GREAT BASIN TO NEW MEXICO AS THE WEEKEND
PROGRESSES. THE RESULT WILL BE SHARPLY INCREASING WINDS AND WARMER
TEMPERATURES FOR SATURDAY...THEN MORE WIND AND A SHARP CHANGE TO
COLDER TEMPERATURES NORTH...AND COOLER SOUTH...AS THE NEW WEEK
BEGINS. SURFACE WINDS SHOULD REACH 25 TO 35 MPH WITH SOME GUSTS TO
45 OR 50 MPH SATURDAY AFTERNOON ACROSS ROUGHLY THE NORTHWEST HALF
OF THE STATE WITH STRONG WINDS CONTINUING SUNDAY ACROSS A GOOD
PORTION OF NORTH AND CENTRAL NEW MEXICO. DAYTIME HIGH TEMPERATURES
WILL FALL 25 TO 35 DEGREES BETWEEN SATURDAY AND SUNDAY ACROSS MUCH
OF THE EAST AND 15 TO 25 DEGREES FARTHER WEST. A LATE NIGHT FREEZE
IS LIKELY FOR THE LARGEST PART OF THE STATE SO FAR THIS SEASON
SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY NIGHT.

THERE IS ALSO THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME GENERALLY LIGHT SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS ACROSS THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS LATE SATURDAY NIGHT
INTO SUNDAY AND THE LOWER TERRAIN OF THE NORTHEAST SUNDAY POSSIBLY
CONTINUING AWHILE INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. ACTUAL ACCUMULATIONS ARE
STILL A LITTLE UNCERTAIN AND WILL DEPEND ON THE EXACT TRACK OF THE
STORM SYSTEM ACROSS THE STATE AND WHETHER THE BULK OF THE SNOW
FALLS DURING THE DAY OR AT NIGHT. AT THIS TIME IT APPEARS THAT THE
BULK OF THE SNOW WILL FALL DURING AND A COUPLE HOURS EITHER SIDE
OF THE DAYLIGHT HOURS ON SUNDAY. THIS WOULD LIMIT ACCUMULATIONS
SOMEWHAT ACROSS THE NORTH...ESPECIALLY AT THE LOWER ELEVATIONS.
