AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
302 PM MDT MON JUN 30 2008

.DISCUSSION...
GETTING INTO MOISTURE RECYCLE MODE TONIGHT OR AT LATEST TUE AS
SIGNIFICANT ADDITIONAL LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ADVECTION IS PRETTY MUCH
DONE. STORMS THIS AFTN ARE SLOWER MOVING THAN WAS THE CASE
SUN...SOME EVEN BEING STATIONARY. CONSIDERING ISSUING FLASH FLOOD
WATCH FOR PORTIONS OF NW HALF OF FORECAST AREA FOR THIS EVENING.
BUT MOST OF THE NEARLY STATIONARY STORMS ARE EITHER WEAKENING
BEFORE DUMPING ANOUGH WATER TO GENERATE FLASH FLOODING OR
PROPAGATING AWAY FROM THE PARENT STORM. WILL STILL LEAVE THIS OPEN
FOR A LAST MINUTE ISSUANCE...BUT UNLIKELY DUE MAINLY TO
AFOREMENTIONED STORM TRENDS. AMONG THE BIG FACTORS IN T STORM
DEVELOPMENT FROM ABOUT THIS POINT FORWARD INTO MIDWEEK WILL BE ANY
COLD POOLS AND WEAK CIRCULATIONS/VORTICITY MAXIMA THAT DEVELOP ON
THE E/SE SIDE OF THE UPPER LEVEL HIGH WHICH LOOKS TO MORE OR LESS
ANCHOR ITSELF NEAR TO A LITTLE WEST OF THE FOUR CORNERS. OF COURSE
DIFFERENTIAL HEATING ON THE HIGHER TERRAIN AND ANY PRE EXISTING
BOUNDARIES FROM EARLIER CONVECTION WILL BE MAJOR FACTORS AS WELL.
IT STILL LOOKS LIKE THERE WILL BE A LITTLE DRYING OVER AND NEAR
THE NW PLATEAU BETWEEN TUE AND WED...BUT WILL NOT ELIMINATE POPS
ENTIRELY FOR THAT AREA. STILL LOOKING AT POTENTIAL FOR SOME LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE REPLENISHMENT BETWEEN THU AND FRI...BUT GFS AND NAM
MODELS ESPECIALLY NOT AS BULLISH ON THE WESTWARD AND SOUTHWARD
EXTENT OF THAT PUSH. 43

.AVIATION...
WITH THE 500 MB RIDGE CENTERED NEAR THE UT AND AZ BORDER...SCATTERED
TO ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE MOUNTAINS THIS
AFTERNOON SHOULD SLOWLY MOVE OR BUILD SOUTH...SOUTHWEST OR SOUTHEAST
INTO LOWER ELEVATIONS LATE THIS AFTN AND EARLY THIS EVENING.
THUNDERSTORM TOPS WILL MOSTLY REACH 35K TO 45K FT. AFTER
MIDNIGHT...A SHORTWAVE EMBEDED IN THE UPPER RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO
DROP SOUTHWARD INTO NORTHERN NM...WITH A SMALL CHANCE FOR LATE NIGHT
AND EARLY TUE MORNING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR AIRPORTS RANGING
FROM RTN TO LVS...AXX...SKX...SAF...LAM...FMN AND GUP.

NEXT AVIATION DISCUSSION SCHEDULED FOR 09Z. 44

.FIRE WEATHER...
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO
FAVOR THE WESTERN TWO THIRDS OF NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NEW MEXICO
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. WITH THE 500 MB RIDGE CENTERED NEAR THE UT
AND AZ BORDER...SCATTERED TO ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN
THE MOUNTAINS SHOULD SLOWLY MOVE OR BUILD SOUTH...SOUTHWEST OR
SOUTHEAST INTO LOWER ELEVATIONS EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING...WITH A
SLIGHT CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FAVORING NORTHERN AND
WESTERN AREAS DURING THE LATE NIGHT AND EARLY MORNING HOURS. MINIMUM
HUMIDITIES WILL BEGIN TO REACH CRITICAL THRESHOLDS IN THE NORTHWEST
TUESDAY AND EXPAND TOWARD ALBUQUERQUE BY WEDNESDAY....SO LATE DAY
THUNDERSTORMS BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LESS RAIN EACH DAY.

DURING THE LATTER HALF OF THE WORK WEEK...A COUPLE OF BACK DOOR COOL
FRONTS ARE EXPECTED.  THE FIRST WILL ARRIVE ON THE NE PLAINS
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND MAY BE ABLE TO REACH THE NE HIGHLANDS BEFORE
STALLING. THE SECOND AND STRONGER FRONT IS EXPECTED THURSDAY
