AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
300 PM MST THU DEC 6 2007

.DISCUSSION...
LOOKING AT AN UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN FOR THE NEXT 3 TO 5 DAYS
WITH LOTS OF FORECAST ISSUES TO DEAL WITH.

FIRST OFF...UPGRADED THE WINTER STORM WATCH TO A WARNING AND WILL
KEEP THE SAME DURATION...LATER TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING.
IT APPEARS THAT UPSLOPE DYNAMICS WILL BE THE MAIN DRIVER OF THIS
WINTER EVENT. WHENEVER UPSLOPE DYNAMICS IS THE MAIN DRIVER...SNOW
AMOUNTS BECOME VERY ELEVATIONALLY DEPENDENT. LIKE THE CURRENT WSW
WORDING IN THAT WEST AND SOUTHWEST FACING SLOPES ALONG THE
COLORADO BORDER WILL BE FAVORED. THIS IS ALSO EVIDENT IN THE
UPDATED SNOW GRIDS. NAM APPEARS TO BE MORE ROBUST WITH THIS
INITIAL EVENT AND HAVE GONE MIDWAY BETWEEN MET AND MAV GUIDANCE
NUMBERS. SNOW LEVELS SHOULD START OUT FAIRLY HIGH ALTHOUGH NOT
NEARLY AS HIGH AS WHAT WAS OBSERVED WITH THE PREVIOUS EVENT.
LOOKING AT SNOW ACCUMULATION LEVELS SOMEWHERE RANGING BETWEEN 7800
TO 8200 FEET ACROSS THE NORTHWEST MOUNTAINS TONIGHT. AS FAR AS ON
FRIDAY...SNOW ACCUMULATION LEVELS WILL RISE A BIT THANKS TO WET
BULB ZERO READINGS RISING AND 700 MB TEMPS REFLECTING A MINOR
WARM CONVEYOR BELT AHEAD OF THE UPPER LOW. HAVE TABBED LEVELS
SOMEWHERE AROUND 8000 FEET TO START AND THEN RISING TO AROUND 9300
FEET. IT APPEARS THAT THE MODELS ARE PRETTY CONSISTENT WITH
LOWERING SNOW ACCUMULATION LEVELS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE WEST
FRIDAY NIGHT.

WILL ALLOW THE CURRENT NPW TO EXPIRE AT 4 PM BUT WILL GO AHEAD AND
HOIST A 2ND PERIOD WIND ADVISORY FOR PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL
MOUNTAINS AND ADJACENT HIGH PLAINS TO THE EAST. MET GUIDANCE
SOMEWHAT MARGINAL FOR RTN...LVS...CQC AND MORE SO FOR SRR BUT FEEL
THAT THE 700 MB FLOW IS SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO WARRANT SOME STRONG
WIND GUSTS ACROSS THE AFOREMENTIONED AREAS. LAPSE RATES ACTUALLY
DEPICTED TO LOWER ON FRIDAY AS COMPARED TO TODAY. LATER SHIFTS
WILL HAVE TO LOOK AT THE EAST CENTRAL PLAINS...SUCH AS TCC
DEPENDING ON WHERE THE SURFACE LOW DEVELOPS.

AS FAR AS FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY IS CONCERNED. IT APPEARS THAT
UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT IN THE FORM OF UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE AND
STEEPENING LAPSE RATES WILL OCCUR ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHWEST
MOUNTAINS. THIS COULD WARRANT A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY SITUATION
DOWN THERE BUT AFFECTING THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS...SAY ABOVE 8000
FEET. HELD OFF ON ISSUING THIS THIRD PERIOD PRODUCT. WILL LET EVENING
AND MIDNIGHT SHIFTS LOOK AT THE LATEST MODEL RUNS SO CAN FINE TUNE
SNOW AMOUNTS AND SNOW ACCUMULATION LEVELS ACCORDINGLY. ZONE 4 OR
THE SANGRE DE CRISTO MOUNTAINS MAY BE ANOTHER ZONE TO LOOK AT AS
FAR AS WINTER HIGHLIGHTS GO BUT UPSLOPE DYNAMICS DONT LOOK TO BE
QUITE AS ROBUST AS WHAT IS EXPECTED TO BE OBSERVED ACROSS THE
NORTHWEST MOUNTAINS. DO HAVE SNOW ACCUMULATIONS RANGING BETWEEN 3
TO 5 INCHES ABOVE 8000 TO 8500 FEET ACROSS THE SANGRES FOR FRIDAY
INTO FRIDAY NIGHT. THUS FOLLOWING SHIFTS CAN LOOK AT THAT. APPEARS
THAT AREAL COVERAGE OF THE FORECASTED 3 TO 5 INCH AMOUNTS MAY BE
FAIRLY SMALL.

PERIODS OF SNOW IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE OVER THE HIGHER COUNTRY
FOUND ACROSS THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL MOUNTAINS SATURDAY NIGHT.
MODELS IN FAIR AGREEMENT WITH ENHANCING PRECIPITATION POTENTIAL FOR SUNDAY
INTO SUNDAY NIGHT ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF. BY IN LARGE PART DUE TO A
BACK DOOR COLD FRONT WHICH WILL INTERJECT MUCH COOLER AIR NEAR THE
SURFACE. GOING WITH A MIX OF SNOW AND RAIN RIGHT NOW FOR THE EAST
CENTRAL PLAINS SATURDAY NIGHT AND WILL HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION TO
PRECIPITATION TYPE SUCH AS SLEET/FREEZING RAIN AS WE GET CLOSER TO THAT
TIME PERIOD. LOOKS TO BE QUITE MESSY ON SUNDAY AND HAVE REFLECTED
ENHANCED SNOW AMOUNTS ACCORDINGLY ACROSS THE NORTHEAST PLAINS.

OVERALL...ADJUSTED POPS A BIT HIGHER ACROSS SOME AREAS THROUGH THE
NEAR AND MID TERM AND ADJUSTED QPF BASED ON HPC GRIDS AND LOCAL PATTERN
SIGNATURES. SNOW LEVELS WERE ALSO SLIGHTLY ADJUSTED BASED ON WET
BULB ZERO...700 MB TEMPERATURE PROFILES AND ANTICIPATED SNOW RATIO FORECAST.
LASTLY MAX AND MIN TEMPERATURES WERE ADJUSTED THROUGH THE MID TERM
TO REFLECT CURRENT THINKING ON PRECIPITATION/CLOUD COVER AND
ANTICIPATED THERMAL ADVECTION TENDENCIES.
