AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
305 AM MDT WED APR 9 2008

.DISCUSSION...
INCOMING SYSTEM WITH ALL OF ITS SEPARATE SHORT WAVE IMPULSES WILL
BE THROWING A COMPLEX ARRAY OF WX AT NM OVER THE NEXT 2 TO 3 DAYS.
THOUGH WAS A LITTLE RELUCTANT TO DO SO INITIALLY...FELT THAT IT
WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO GO AHEAD WITH A WINTER WX ADVISORY FOR
ZONES 2 AND 4 FOR SEVERAL REASONS...ONE BEING THAT THIS SYSTEM
LOOKING A BIT MORE ROBUST/DEEPER THAN APPEARED TO BE THE CASE THIS
TIME YESTERDAY...ANOTHER THAT SNOW LEVELS WILL BE BETWEEN 7500 AND
8500 FEET INITIALLY THIS MORNING AS PCPN GETS GOING AND THEN AFTER
RISING TO BETWEEN 8000 AND 9000 FEET LATER TODAY WILL DROP TO
THE SURFACE OVER MOST OF THOSE ZONES TONIGHT WITH ENOUGH PCPN
LINGERING TO PRODUCE SOME ADDITIONAL ACCUM. THESE AMTS MAY TOTAL
BETWEEN 1 AND 5 INCHES BETWEEN 7500 AND 9000 FEET WITH SOME MELTING
OF IT POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON DUE TO THE STRONGER SOLAR INSOLATION...
DESPITE SOME SHOWERS CONTINUING. AMOUNTS TO BE THAT VARIABLE
DEPENDING ON ELEVATION...SOUTH SLOPES VS NORTH SLOPES AND SHOWERY
NATURE OF PCPN. THERE MAY BE LOCALLY AS MUCH AS 6 TO 8 INCHES
ABOVE 9000 OR 9500 FT TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT. NO TIME FOR FURTHER
DETAILS HERE...SEE THE ADVISORY PRODUCT ISSUED BETWEEN 3 AND 4 AM.

A FEW STORMS AND SHOWERS STILL PRETTY GOOD BET NE AND FAR E
CENTRAL TODAY WITH E CENTRAL SECTIONS GETTING DRY SLOTTED LATER
THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...SO TRIM POPS BACK SOMEWHAT THERE
LATER TODAY INTO TONIGHT. SPC GOING WITH SEVERE STORM RISK STAYING
TO E OF NM AND THIS SEEMS REASONABLE GIVEN THE STRONG DRY SLOT
THAT DEVELOPS. QUIETER WX DOESNT RESUME TIL FRI NIGHT OR
SAT...THEN DRY FOR QUITE SOME TIME. 43

&&

.AVIATION...
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE DEEPENING NEAR THE FOUR CORNERS IN ADVANCE OF
APPROACHING WEATHER SYSTEM WILL SHIFT TO EASTERN NEW MEXICO BY
THIS AFTERNOON. SOUTH WINDS THIS MORNING WILL TUG MOISTURE ACROSS
EASTERN PLAINS FOR CIG DROPS TO MVFR AND OCCNL IFR IN ISOLD
SHOWERS AND TSTORMS. APCHG WEATHER SYSTEM WILL SPREAD MVFR AND IFR
SHOWER CONDX AND MT OBSCURATION FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS NEW MEXICO
TODAY...CROSSING THE RIO GRANDE THIS AFTERNOON AND REACHING THE
NORTHEAST HIGHLANDS BY EARLY EVENING. RAIN SHOWERS WILL CHANGE TO
SNOW WITH IFR VISIBILITIES NEAR THE COLORADO LINE HEADING INTO
THIS EVENING. BROADLY SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 40...SOUTHWEST WINDS
GUSTING TO 45 KTS WILL DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE
