AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
300 AM MST WED JAN 30 2008

.DISCUSSION...
ANOTHER ROUND OF SNOW AND WIND IN STORE FOR PORTIONS OF NEW MEXICO
TODAY AS VIGOROUS AND FAST PACED NORTHERN STREAM SHORT WAVE TROUGH
APPROACHES. THESE TWO ASPECTS OF THE STORM WILL POSE A FEW
CHALLENGES FOR TODAY.

CERTAINLY MUCH LESS MOISTURE TO WORK WITH IN THIS SYSTEM DUE TO
ITS ORIGIN. A BROAD AND SOMEWHAT ILL DEFINED JET IS ROUNDING THE
BASE OF THE SYSTEM...HOWEVER SOME UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE/DYNAMICS
ARE IN PLACE ALLOWING A BAND OF FRONTOGENESIS TO SHAPE UP DURING
SYSTEM PASSAGE. GIVEN THIS FORCING...CURRENT THINKING IS FOR 1 TO
2 INCHES OF SNOWFALL ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE WEST
CENTRAL...NORTHWEST...AND SANGRE DE CRISTO MOUNTAINS AS WELL AS
PORTIONS OF THE NORTHWESTERN PLATEAU. SNOWFALL WILL COUPLE WITH
BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS IN THESE AREAS AND THUS WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORY WILL BE HOISTED THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING TO HIGHLIGHT
AREAS OF SNOWFALL...AND INTERMITTENT PERIODS OF BLOWING SNOW. LOCALLY
HIGHER AMOUNTS OF 4 TO 6 INCHES MAY BE POSSIBLE ALONG WESTERN
SLOPES OF THE SAN JUANS. FARTHER EAST...WINDS WILL HIT ADVISORY
CRITERIA OVER NORTHEAST HIGHLANDS...SOUTH CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AND
INTO THE EAST CENTRAL PLAINS. LOW HUMIDITIES WILL ALSO CONTINUE
IN THE EAST AND CURRENT PLANS ARE FOR THE FIRE WEATHER WATCH TO BE
UPGRADED TO RED FLAG WARNING LATER THIS MORNING. SOME SNOW IS
EXPECTED TO SPREAD OVER THE NORTHEAST HIGHLANDS AND NORTHEAST
PLAINS BY THIS EVENING...HOWEVER CONFIDENCE IN MEETING ADVISORY
LEVEL SNOWFALL IS LOW DUE TO A LACK OF ANY UPSLOPE COMPONENT TO
THE WINDS AND UNFAVORABLE JUXTAPOSITION OF FRONTOGENESIS.

THIS SYSTEM QUICKLY ROLLS OUT OF THE AREA WITH THURSDAY BEING
DOMINATED BY NORTHWESTERLY FLOW UNDER A SUBTLE AND BRIEF LIVED
RIDGE BEFORE QUICKLY TURNING TO ZONAL FLOW ON FRIDAY. SUBTLE
BATCHES OF ENERGY AND SATURATION ALOFT WILL CLIP THE NORTHERN
BORDER OF THE STATE FRIDAY...SATURDAY...AND SUNDAY BEFORE THE AXIS
OF LONG WAVE TROUGH APPROACHES INTO THE BEGINNING OF THE NEW WORK WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...
APPROACHING WEATHER SYSTEM FROM CALIFORNIA COAST NEAR THE FOUR
CORNERS WILL SWEEP EAST AND SOUTH ACROSS NEW MEXICO OVER NEXT 24
HOURS. CLOUD COVER MOVING BROADLY FROM FOUR CORNERS TO RIO GRANDE
BY 18Z...TO EASTERN PLAINS BY 21Z...AND TO TEXAS BORDER BY 00Z.
EXPECTING CIGS MOSTLY VFR...WITH OCCNL PECKS INTO MVFR IN LIGHT
SNOW MAINLY NORTH OF INTERSTATE 40 WITH MT TOPS OBSCURED. DEEPENING
SURFACE LOW OVER TEXAS PANHANDLE WILL BOOST AFTERNOON WINDS FOR
KTCC...KROW...KLVS AND BROADLY OVER EASTERN PLAINS.

NEXT AVIATION DISCUSSION SCHEDULED FOR 22Z. SHY
