AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
304 PM MDT SAT MAR 15 2008

.DISCUSSION...
THE REMAINDER OF THE IDES OF MARCH WILL FEATURE PASSING MID/UPPER
LEVEL CLOUDS AND BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS DIMINISHING ACROSS THE
EAST AND WEST. FORECAST CHALLENGES THROUGH TUESDAY CONCERN TIMING OF
THE UPPER LEVEL LOW PASSAGE...WINDS AND FIRE WEATHER SUNDAY. LATEST
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS THE UPPER LOW DEVELOPING ALONG THE SOCAL
COASTLINE WITH A DRY SLOT PUSHING EAST ACROSS NV/AZ WITHIN A 120-140
KNOT UPPER JET. TIMING OF THE DRY SLOT FEATURE WILL BE CRITICAL TO
WIND FORECAST SUNDAY. 15Z SREF INDICATES THE DRY SLOT WILL COINCIDE
WITH A WIDESPREAD AREA OF 700MB MEAN WINDS AROUND 40 KNOTS ACROSS
MUCH OF CENTRAL NM. WILL ISSUE WIND ADV TO HIGHLIGHT SW WINDS 25 TO
35 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 50 MPH. DRY CONDITIONS WILL COMBINE WITH THESE
WINDS FOR CRITICAL FIRE WX ACROSS CENTRAL NM AS WELL. OTHER STORY
WILL BE THE POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE TSTORMS OVER THE FAR NE PLAINS AS
A DRYLINE SETS UP AHEAD OF THE MID LEVEL DRY SLOT. 12Z NAM/GFS SHOW
A CONVERGENCE ZONE SETTING UP OVER UNION...E HARDING...NE QUAY
COUNTIES WHERE LIFTED INDICES AROUND -5C...LAPSE RATES 8 C/KM AND
STRONG UNIDIRECTIONAL LOW LEVEL SHEAR COINCIDE. QUESTION HOWEVER
WILL BE THE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE AVAILABLE AND WHETHER DRY AIR MIXES
INTO THE FAR E PLAINS.

FOCUS WILL THEN SHIFT TO RAIN/SNOW DEVELOPING AHEAD OF THE UPPER LOW
LATE SUNDAY ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN MTNS. QPF REMAINS SCANT
SO ANY SNOW AMOUNTS WILL BE SUB-ADVISORY. MUCH COOLER AIR WILL FILTER
FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE STATE MONDAY WITH MAINLY DIURNAL RAIN
AND SNOW ACTIVITY. NAEFS/GEFS/SREF GUIDANCE CONTINUE TO SHOW MODERATE
SPREAD WITH TIMING OF DEPARTING UPPER LOW OVER THE REGION THROUGH
TUESDAY. 12Z OPERATIONAL GUIDANCE INDICATES SYSTEM WILL SPLIT INTO
TWO UPPER DISTURBANCES WITH MAIN ENERGY DROPPING SOUTH INTO NORTHERN
OLD MEXICO. LEFT ISOLD POPS ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA THRU EARLY TUESDAY
TO REFLECT UNCERTAINTY WHETHER SYSTEM WILL PULL EAST OR POSSIBLY CUT
OFF OVER MEXICO. BEYOND TUESDAY...ZONAL FLOW DEVELOPS OVER THE SW
CONUS WITH BREEZY AND MILD CONDITIONS THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
