AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
232 PM MDT MON JUN 2 2008

.DISCUSSION...
LARGE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED TO OUR SE WILL GET SHOVED TO
THE S AS A SERIES OF UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES PASS MAINLY TO OUR N.
THE STRONGEST OF THESE WILL BE THU. WINDS AND FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS
WILL BE THE MAIN WEATHER FOCUS THE REST OF THIS WEEK.

BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS COMMON OVER THE E THIS PM...BUT HAVE
STAYED BELOW WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA. RED FLAG WARNING WILL REMAIN
IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM THIS EVE. TEMPERATURES HAVE SOARED ABOVE
100 DEGREES OVER PARTS OF THE E THIS PM WITH RECORD HIGHS IN
SEVERAL LOCATIONS.

WINDS TO DIMINISH AFTER SUNSET TONIGHT WITH THE FORECAST AREA DRY
AND COMFORTABLE OVERNIGHT. TUE SHOULD BRING ABOUT SIMILAR WINDS TO
TODAY. FIRE WEATHER WATCH TO REMAIN INTACT. TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE
A COUPLE OF DEGREES COOLER AS HEIGHTS LOWER SOME IN RESPONSE TO AN
UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM MOVING INTO THE NORTHWEST. FRONTAL BOUNDARY THAT
HAS BEEN OVER THE NE THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS WILL BE NEAR THE NE
CORNER OF THE STATE DURING THE DAY...BUT CONVECTION NOT EXPECTED
TO MAKE IT INTO NM.

STRONGEST WINDS OF THE WEEK WILL BE WED AND THU AS A STRONGER STORM
SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE PACIFIC NW WED AND CROSSES THE CENTRAL ROCKIES
THU. WIND ADVISORIES AND RED FLAG WARNING CONDITIONS LIKELY MOST
ZONES WED...THEN OVER THE E THU. TEMPERATURES WILL EXPERIENCE A
GRADUAL COOLING TREND WED AND THU. SHOWERS AND STORMS SHOULD BE
CONFINED TO N OF INTERSTATE 40 FROM WED PM THROUGH THU NIGHT.

FRI AND NEXT WEEKEND WILL FEATURE A RELAXING OF THE WINDS AND A
REBOUND IN TEMPERATURES. WHILE MOST OF THE TIME SHOULD BE DRY...
THERE COULD BE ENOUGH INCREASE IN MOISTURE TO TRIGGER SOME HIGH
BASED STORMS WITH DRY LIGHTNING NEXT WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK.
CHJ

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL AT ALL AIRPORTS FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
GUSTY SURFACE WINDS WILL CONTINUE WITH GUSTS UP TO 35 KTS POSSIBLE
THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON ALONG AND TO THE LEE OF THE CENTRAL
MOUNTAINS. BREEZY TO LOCALLY WINDY CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN ON MONDAY
AFTERNOON.

NEXT AVIATION DISCUSSION SCHEDULED FOR 09Z.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL BE MOST PREVALENT ACROSS THE
EASTERN HALF THE REST OF THIS AFTERNOON PER CURRENT SURFACE
OBSERVATIONS AND ANTICIPATED WEATHER TRENDS. LOOK FOR 1 TO 2 HOURS
CENTRAL AND WESTERN AREAS. HUMIDITY READINGS ARE PRETTY MUCH IN THE
SINGLE DIGITS TO LOWER TEENS AREAWIDE AND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE
EARLY EVENING. ALSO LOOKING AT HEIGHTENED HAINES LEVELS THIS
AFTERNOON DUE TO A VERY DRY AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS OVERHEAD. POOR
HUMIDITY RECOVERIES EXPECTED TONIGHT.

TUESDAY LOOKS TO BE SIMILAR OVERALL AS COMPARED TO TODAY...ALTHOUGH
THERE ARE SOME SUBTLE DIFFERENCES SUCH AS THE POSITION/STRENGTH OF
THE SURFACE LOW AS WELL AS UPPER LEVEL WIND TRENDS. MODELS ARE ALSO
IN AGREEMENT WITH SLIGHTLY BREAKING DOWN THE UPPER RIDGE WHICH
SHOULD MEAN SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES ACROSS SOME AREAS.
OVERALL...WILL KEEP THE SAME WATCH AREA IN PLACE FOR TUESDAY
AFTERNOON...POSSIBLE 2 TO 4 HOURS OF CRITICAL CONDITIONS ACROSS THE
EASTERN HALF WHILE KEEPING MENTION OF 1 TO 2 HOURS ELSEWHERE.

ANOTHER POOR HUMIDITY RECOVERY PERIOD TUESDAY NIGHT AND WILL LEAD
INTO A SIGNIFICANT CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER PERIOD WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY. MODELS ARE STILL IN AGREEMENT WITH A RATHER BIG WIND EVENT
FOR WEDNESDAY ACROSS THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA AND THEN TRANSITIONING
EASTWARD ON THURSDAY AS A NEAR TRADITIONAL COLD FRONT CROSSES THE
AREA FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST. TEMPERATURES WILL COOL ON THURSDAY
AND HUMIDITY LEVELS WILL RISE ACCORDINGLY...ESPECIALLY FAVORING THE
NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTHWEST AREAS. SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION IS NOT
LIKELY AS ONE OF THE LONG RANGE MODELS DEPICTS SOME PRECIPITATION
ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER WHILE ANOTHER DOES NOT. GOING WITH SLIGHT
CHANCE AT THIS TIME.

THE LONG RANGE MODELS ARE IN AGREEMENT WITH A LIGHTER WIND FLOW ON
FRIDAY...ALTHOUGH STILL BREEZY AT TIMES. THERE ARE SOME SUBTLE
DIFFERENCES FOR THE WEEKEND...ONE IS WINDIER AND DRIER WHILE THE
OTHER CALLS FOR A LITTLE LESS WIND AND A LITTLE MORE MOISTURE
SEEPAGE FROM THE SOUTH/SOUTHEAST. AT THIS TIME WE ARE GOING DRY
WITH BREEZY CONDITIONS.
