AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
158 PM MST THU JAN 18 2007

.DISCUSSION...CURRENT FORECAST LOOKS ON TRACK ALTHOUGH TIMING
SLIGHTLY DELAYED AS UPPER LOW CONTINUES TO SPIN OFF THE COAST OF NRN
BAJA.  SNOW WILL BEGIN OVER SOUTHERN SECTIONS AFTER MIDNIGHT AND
SPREAD NORTHWARD THROUGH THE DAY FRIDAY...REACHING THE CO BORDER BY
FRI NGT.

PRECIP TYPE APPEARS FAIRLY STABLE AS SNOW THROUGHOUT THE EVENT WITH
THE FOLLOWING CAVEATS.  PRECIP COULD BEGIN AS RAIN IN FAR SRN AREAS
TONIGHT BUT SHOULD QUICKLY TURN TO SNOW AS EVAPORATIVE COOLING TAKES
PLACE IN TOP DOWN SATURATION.  THIS COULD YIELD SOME ICY SURFACES
THOUGH AS RAIN OR MELTED SNOW FREEZES.  SECONDLY...THERE IS SOME
HINT THAT SNOW COULD MIX WITH SLEET FRI NGT IN SE SECTIONS AS WARMER
AIR AT MID LEVELS SURGES NORTHWARD.  SUPPORT FOR THIS LIMITED
ALTHOUGH WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF MODELS ARE UNDERESTIMATING AMOUNT
OF WARM PACIFIC AIR WHICH WILL SPREAD NORTHWARD WITH THIS PARTICULAR
SYSTEM.

AS MENTIONED...MOISTURE WILL NOT BE A PROBLEM WITH THIS SYSTEM SO
SNOW AMOUNTS WILL BE CONSIDERABLE GIVEN AMOUNT OF LIFT COMBINED WITH
DECENT DURATION OF SNOWFALL.  300K ISENTROPIC SURFACE INDICATES
STRONG ASCENT ACROSS SE HALF OF AREA WITH 5-6 G/KG OF MOISTURE
OVERRIDING COOLER AIR AT SURFACE.  NW HALF OF THE AREA WILL BE UNDER
THE BEST DIFLUENCE/DEFORMATION AND WILL ALSO BENEFIT THE MOST FROM
THERMODYNAMICS/INSTABILITY NEAREST UPPER LOW.  QUICK GLANCE AT THE
18Z NAM SHOWS A FURTHER SLOWING TREND WITH THIS SYSTEM...ESPECIALLY
AS IT EXITS THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT.

FEEL CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO UPGRADE WATCHES TO WARNINGS FROM I 40
SOUTH.  ACROSS THE NORTH WILL DELAY WATCH TIL LATE FRIDAY...BUT
INCLUDE ALL REMAINING AREAS.  WILL RUN ALL HEADLINES THROUGH THE DAY
SATURDAY.

AS FOR AMOUNTS...6 TO 12 INCHES AT LOWER ELEVATIONS AND 1 TO 2 FEET
IN THE MOUNTAINS STILL SEEMS REASONABLE FOR THE SOUTH.  ACROSS THE
NORTH...AMOUNTS WILL LIKELY BE A BIT LESS BUT STILL HEAVY...IN THE
4-8 INCH RANGE WITH 9 TO 18 INCHES OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN.  THE ABQ
METRO COULD BE IN ITS UNIQUE POSITION WHERE EAST CANYON WINDS THWART
SOME OF THE SNOW TOTALS IN THE HEIGHTS FRI AFTN/EVE...BUT THIS WOULD
STILL YIELD DECENT AMOUNTS OVER THE WEST MESA.  THEREFORE WILL KEEP
AMOUNTS IN 3-6 INCH RANGE WITH LOCALLY HEAVIER AMOUNTS OF 8 TO 10
INCHES POSSIBLE IN FOOTHILLS...WEST MESA AND IN VALENCIA COUNTY.

MODELS STILL TRYING TO DROP A SECONDARY SYSTEM INTO THE STATE
SUN-TUE SO WILL KEEP SMALL POPS AND COLD TEMPERATURES GOING INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK...KD
