AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
314 PM MDT WED JUN 4 2008

.DISCUSSION...
WINDS ARE STARTING TO INCREASE ACROSS THE LAND OF ENCHANTMENT TODAY
AS AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED LOW MIGRATE ACROSS THE GREAT
BASIN REGION. AS THIS SYSTEM APPROACHES...THE GRADIENT ALOFT SHOULD
TIGHTEN AS A 60KT 500MB JET NOSES INTO THE WRN SECTIONS OF NM. THIS
JET WILL ROUND THE BASE OF THE TROUGH AND STRENGTHEN TO 75 OR 80 KTS
TONIGHT AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES INTO THE FOUR CORNERS REGION. CLOUDS
HAVE BEEN PLAYING HAVOC WITH MIXING ACROSS THE AREA TODAY...HOWEVER
WILL ACT AS A BLANKET TONIGHT. THIS MAY KEEP RADIATIONAL COOLING IN
CHECK AND PREVENT MANY AREAS FROM DECOUPLING. THIS WILL KEEP SURFACE
WINDS IN THE BREEZY/WINDY CATEGORY ALONG RIDGETOPS AS WELL AS ALONG/
DOWNSTREAM FROM THE ERN SLOPES. TO KEEP THINGS SIMPLE...WILL EXTEND
THE WIND ADVISORY THROUGH TOMORROW AFTERNOON...EXCLUDING NMZ004-008-
009. IN ADDITION...WILL UPGRADE NMZ017...THE NORTHERN SACRAMENTO MTS
TO A HIGH WIND WARNING. WIND SPEEDS WILL NOT MEET CRITERIA ALL NIGHT
AT ALL HOURS...BUT RIDGETOPS WILL BE HOWLING COMPLIMENTS OF THE UPR
LEVEL WINDS ON OCCASION.

PRECIPITATION WILL MIGRATE INTO THE FOUR CORNERS REGION BY MIDNIGHT
AND SLIDE EASTWARD TOWARD DAYBREAK. INCREASED POPS ALONG/NORTH OF I-
40 WITH LIKELY CATEGORY IN THE SAN JUAN MTS. WOULD NOT BE SHOCKED TO
HEAR OF A FEW SNOW SHOWERS ABOVE 9500 FEET TONIGHT...HOWEVER NO SIG
ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED. UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL TRANSLATE ACROSS
THE STATE TOMORROW...WITH WINDS GRADUALLY WANING FROM W TO E BY THE
AFTERNOON. LINGERING PCPN WILL DEPART THE NE BY EARLY THU EVENING. A
COOLER REGIME COMPLIMENTS OF CLOUD COVER AND COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL
PREVAIL...ESPECIALLY IN THE NW ZONES. DROPPED HIGHS ACCORDINGLY AND
FUTURE SHIFTS MAY NEED TO GO FURTHER. TRANQUIL WEATHER SHOULD RETURN
FRIDAY...HOWEVER A FEW GUSTS ARE STILL POSSIBLE WITH WARMER READINGS.

GFS40 STILL HOLDING ON TO A DRY FORECAST FOR THE UPCOMING WEEKEND...
HOWEVER ECMWF STILL PERSISTENT WITH SOME DRYLINE ACTIVITY ACROSS THE
ERN PLAINS. INHERITED EXTENDED FORECAST HAVE LOW GRADE POPS AND WILL
NOT ADJUST AT THIS TIME. DPORTER

&&

.AVIATION...
WIDESPREAD STRONG WINDS WITH SUSTAINED READINGS BETWEEN 25 TO 35 KT
AND GUSTS UP TO 50 KT WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING.
THEN THE STRONGER WINDS WILL BE RELEGATED TO THE HIGHEST TERRAIN AND
AREAS ALONG THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AND JUST TO THE LEE OVERNIGHT.
WIDESPREAD STRONG WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS SOUTHERN AND EASTERN
AREAS ON THURSDAY. AS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW MOVES INTO THE NORTHWEST
HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA OVERNIGHT AND THURSDAY...CIGS WILL FALL
AND LOOK FOR SCATTERED MVFR CONDITIONS AND LOCALIZED IFR CONDITIONS
FAVORING THE NORTH CENTRAL MOUNTAINS.

NEXT AVIATION DISCUSSION SCHEDULED FOR 09Z. 50

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
HIGH CLOUDS HAVE MOVED ACROSS THE NORTHWEST HALF OF THE FORECAST
AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND HAS HAD SOME AFFECT ON THE MIXING. HOWEVER
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE MAJORITY OF
THE AREA AS THE STRONG WIND MAX ALOFT NUDGES OVER THE STATE.
HUMIDITY READINGS WILL ALSO REMAIN RATHER LOW AFTER VERY POOR
HUMIDITY RECOVERIES. HUMIDITY RECOVERIES WILL INCREASE TONIGHT
ACROSS THE NORTHWEST HALF AS TEMPERATURES COOL AND MOISTURE SPILLS
IN FROM THE GREAT BASIN. POOR HUMIDITY RECOVERIES WILL REMAIN ACROSS
THE SOUTH AND EAST.

CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL TRANSITION SOUTH AND EASTWARD
ON THURSDAY AS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW DIGS INTO THE CENTRAL ROCKIES AND
NORTHERN PORTIONS OF NEW MEXICO. THE MOST CRITICAL CONDITIONS WILL
BE FOUND ACROSS THE EAST CENTRAL PLAINS AND SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE
FORECAST AREA SUCH AS SOCORRO COUNTY AND THE CHUPADERA MESA. WILL
UPGRADE THE WATCH ON THURSDAY TO A WARNING FOR THE MIDDLE RIO GRANDE
VALLEY...ESTANCIA BASIN/CHUPADERA MESA AND THE EASTERN PLAINS WHILE
DROPPING THE INTERSTATE 25 CORRIDOR OF ZONE 103. FEEL THAT 1 TO 2
HOURS COULD OCCUR THERE...ABQ AREA AND PORTIONS OF THE SAN AUGUSTIN
PLAIN. THE OTHER FIRE WEATHER STORY WILL BE LOWERING TEMPERATURES
AND RISING HUMIDITY VALUES ACROSS THE NORTH. THE MODELS ARE IN FAIR
AGREEMENT WITH PAINTING PRECIPITATION ACROSS AT LEAST THE NORTHERN
THIRD...FAVORING THE NORTH CENTRAL MOUNTAINS ON THURSDAY SO SOME
WETTING RAIN WILL BE POSSIBLE THERE. EVEN SNOW ACROSS THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS FAVORING THE COLORADO BORDER AREA.

MODELS ARE STILL IN FAIR AGREEMENT WITH LESSENING WIND AND WARMER
TEMPERATURES FOR FRIDAY. HUMIDITY LEVELS WILL RESPOND BY LOWERING
ACROSS MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA.

THE LONG RANGE MODELS ARE COMING A LITTLE MORE IN LINE WITH A BREEZY
TO WINDY PATTERN OVER THE WEEKEND WITH THE DRY LINE NUDGING CLOSE TO
NEW MEXICO BORDER. HIGHER HUMIDITY AND AFTERNOON CLOUDINESS WOULD BE
ASSOCIATED WITH THIS DRY LINE SO WILL HAVE TO WATCH HOW FAR WEST IT
COULD GET. AS OF RIGHT NOW GOING WITH A DRY SCENARIO AND VERY LOW
HUMIDITY ACROSS THE MAJORITY OF THE AREA. THE MAIN BREAK DOWN STAGE
FOR A CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER EVENT IS BEING DEPICTED BY THE MODELS
FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK. 50
