.UPDATE...
WILL GO AHEAD AND HOIST A HIGH WIND WARNING FOR TOMORROW FOR MUCH
OF THE EASTERN PLAINS...AND WILL ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY FOR THE RIO
GRANDE VALLEY...SANDIA/MANZANOS AND THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS. WILL HAVE
THE NPW GO THROUGH 06Z BUT CURRENT THOUGHTS ARE A WIND ADVISORY
MAY BE NEEDED FOR AREAS ALONG AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 40 UNTIL 12
OR 18Z. WILL LET LATER SHIFT ASSESS THE NEED FOR AN EXTENSION.
OTHERWISE CURRENT CONFIGURATION OF WARNINGS/ADVISORIES LOOK GOOD.
SNOW HAS SO FAR BEEN LIMITED TO THE HIGHER TERRAIN...WITH CHAMA
PICKING UP CLOSE TO 1.5 INCHES SO FAR. WINDS HAVE DECREASED ACROSS
THE EAST AFTER SUNSET AND AS CLOUDS MOVED INTO THE AREA.
OTHERWISE...HAVE UPDATED GRIDS TO REFLECT CURRENT TRENDS. UPDATES
OUT SHORTLY.

34

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...215 PM MST SUN JAN 27 2008...
DEFINITELY SOME SUBTLE FORECAST CHALLENGES FOR THE NEXT 48 HOURS.
THIS INCLUDES VARYING SNOW AND SNOW ACCUMULATION LEVELS WHICH
AFFECTS VALUE ADDING WITHIN WINTER STORM HIGHLIGHTS/AMOUNTS AND
ELEVATIONS/. ALSO...HOW STRONG WILL THE WIND BLOW TONIGHT AS WELL AS
MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT.

AS FAR AS TIMING...APPEARS THAT SYSTEM IS ON TRACK. PRECIPITATION
ALREADY REACHING THE GROUND ACROSS LOWER ELEVATIONS OF THE WEST.
THUS PRESUMABLY...SNOWING ACROSS THE HIGHER WESTERN MOUNTAIN PEAKS.
PW VALUES FAIRLY HIGH WITH THE SUBTROPICAL FETCH DEPICTED ON IR
IMAGERY. LOOK FOR THESE SNOW LEVELS TO GRADUALLY RAISE AS THE DAY
PROGRESSES AND THE SUBTROPICAL FETCH ESTABLISHES ITSELF OVER WESTERN
PORTIONS AND TO A LESSER EXTENT CENTRAL PORTIONS OF CWFA. OUTSIDE OF
THE MAIN MOISTURE PLUME WILL BE SLIGHTLY LOWER SNOW LEVELS DUE TO
EVAPORATIVE COOLING WITHIN THE BOUNDARY LAYER. WET BULB ZEROS WILL
RISE SIGNIFICANTLY TONIGHT SO SNOWFALL AND SNOWFALL ACCUMULATION
LEVELS WILL RISE ACCORDINGLY.

AS FAR AS CHANGES TO THE GRIDS...NOT ALL THAT MUCH. ADJUSTED POPS
SLIGHTLY HIGHER MONDAY NIGHT ACROSS THE HIGHEST TERRAIN OF THE
NORTHERN AND WESTERN MOUNTAINS. ALSO VALUE ADDED TO SKY COVER GRIDS
ACCORDINGLY. FEELING MORE CONFIDENT ABOUT THE SECOND PIECE OF ENERGY
WHICH WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE MAIN SURFACE TO MID LEVEL COLD
FRONTAL PASSAGE. THIS IS WHEN SNOW LEVELS WILL LOWER QUITE
CONSIDERABLY. EXPECT THE UPPER LEVEL COLD FRONT TO TRAVERSE OVER THE
STATE IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE SUBTROPICAL FETCH
TRANSLATION...MONDAY MORNING. THIS IS WHEN MAIN QPF WILL OCCUR
ACROSS CWFA. SIGNIFICANT DRY SLOT WILL TAKE AIM ACROSS SOUTHERN AND
EASTERN AREAS AS THE DAY PROGRESSES ON MONDAY AND WILL LIMIT PRECIP
ACROSS THE HIGHER MOUNTAINS RIDGES THANKS TO OROGRAPHIC EFFECT. ALSO
MADE SOME TWEAKS TO THE MAX TEMP GRID FOR MONDAY...GOING WITH HIGH
END OF GUIDANCE ALTHOUGH MOST GUIDANCE QUITE WIDE RANGING. ALSO
INCREASED TEMPS SLIGHTLY UP ACROSS THE EAST FOR TONIGHT BASED ON
INCREASING MID LEVEL WINDS AND ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER AND ANTECEDENT
ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS OBSERVED THIS AFTERNOON.

KEPT INHERITED MINIMAL POPS ACROSS FAR NORTHWEST AND NORTH CENTRAL
AREAS FOR TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT. ADJUSTED POPS SLIGHTLY HIGHER
FOR WEDNESDAY PERIOD AS ANOTHER FAST MOVING UPPER LEVEL FEATURE
CAUGHT WITHIN NORTHWEST FLOW MOVES OVER STATE. PERHAPS A LOW TO
MODERATE SNOW ADVISORY EVENT FOR FAR NORTHWEST AND NORTH CENTRAL
AREAS.

AS FAR AS WINDS ARE CONCERNED...AS MENTIONED ABOVE...TIMING AN
ISSUE. AS I WRITE...SRR CAME IN WITH A 56 KNOT GUST. WORRIED ABOUT
THAT OCCURRING PERIODICALLY THE WHOLE NIGHT AS STRONG SOUTHWEST FLOW
AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING TROUGH TENDS TO SURFACE NEAR THE SIERRA
BLANCA AIRPORT. MID LEVEL GRADIENT DEPICTED BY BOTH THE NAM AND GFS
TO BE QUITE STRONG...40 TO 55 KNOTS THUS THE WORRY. WILL MAKE A LAST
MINUTE DECISION ON WHAT TO DO WITH THAT. IT IS MOST LIKELY MT WAVE
INDUCED AND CAN GO JUST AS QUICKLY AS IT CAME. EVENING SHIFT MAY
HAVE TO MAKE THE CALL AND START UP VARIOUS WIND HIGHLIGHT PRODUCTS
EARLIER. STILL LOOKING AT WIND GRADIENT TO MOVE THROUGH MID
AFTERNOON THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS ON MONDAY. HAVE TO FIGURE A HIGH
WIND WARNING IS PROBABLE...AT LEAST FOR ALONG THE CENTRAL MTS
EASTWARD THROUGH A PORTION OF EASTERN PLAINS. WHEN TO END IT WILL BE
TRICKY AS FAR AS FAR AS DECOUPLING WITH NIGHTFALL...MSLP LOW AND MID
LEVEL MAXIMA EJECTION. SUSPECT MAY HAVE TO EXTEND WIND HIGHLIGHTS
THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE EAST AND/OR CENTRAL
AREAS.

LASTLY...WILL GO AHEAD AND UPGRADE FIRE WEATHER WATCH TO A RED FLAG
WARNING AND INCLUDE ZONE 104 TO MATCH UP WITH AMA. HUMIDITY AGAIN
THE MAIN COMPONENT WHICH IS QUESTIONABLE BUT 15 TO 20 PCT READINGS
COUPLED WITH NEAR TO HIGH WIND WARNING SPEEDS CAN MAKE FOR AN
INTERESTING FIRE WEATHER DAY. ALSO ADJUSTED CLOUD COVER DOWN
SLIGHTLY ACROSS EAST CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST AREAS WITH CLOUD COVER
ALSO THINNING ACROSS SOUTHEAST AREAS MONDAY AFTERNOON AS SUBTROPICAL
FETCH MOVES OFF TO THE EAST. LASTLY...MODELS DEPICT A FAIR AMOUNT OF
INSTABILITY...7 TO 7.5 DEG LAPSE RATES COUPLED WITH WELL ABOVE
NORMAL TEMPS.

.AVIATION...
MVFR AND SPOTTY IFR CONDITIONS CONTINUING OVER THE WEST AND
SPREADING NORTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING
HOURS AS CEILINGS LOWER AND SHOWERS SPREAD INTO THE WESTERN TWO
THIRDS OF THE STATE. EASTERN PLAINS OF NM TO REMAIN IN VFR
CONDITIONS. BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS WILL ALSO CONTINUE ACROSS
HIGHER RIDGES AND INTO THE EAST CENTRAL AND NORTHEASTERN PLAINS THIS
AFTERNOON WITH HIGH WINDS REDEVELOPING EARLY MONDAY FOR MOST OF THE
STATE...ESPECIALLY ALONG HIGH TERRAIN AND EAST OF THE CENTRAL
