AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
305 AM MST SUN FEB 3 2008

.DISCUSSION...
FIRST SHORT WAVE TROUGH CURRENTLY PUSHING OVER THE STATE AHEAD OF
THE MORE VIGOROUS AND EVOLVING TROUGH UPSTREAM TO THE NORTHWEST.
THIS INITIAL WAVE HELPED SPREAD LIGHT SNOWFALL OVER PORTIONS OF
THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY AND MORE SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS INTO THE
NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTHWESTERN MOUNTAINS. A FEW ECHOES LINGERING
ON RADAR IMAGERY...BUT FOR NOW THE HEAVIER SHOWERS HAVE TAPERED
OFF AS THE AXIS OF THE WAVE PUSHES EAST. THIS WILL ALLOW A BRIEF
DOWN TREND IN SHOWER COVERAGE BEFORE NOON TODAY WITH SHOWER
ACTIVITY RAPIDLY INCREASING AND SPREADING SOUTH AND EAST BY LATE
THIS AFTERNOON AS THE NEXT SURGE OF UPPER LEVEL ENERGY APPROACHES.

A PLETHORA OF HIGHLIGHTS TO BE ISSUED FOR NEXT TWO DAYS INCLUDING
A WIND ADVISORY ESSENTIALLY ALONG AND EAST OF THE CENTRAL
MOUNTAINS AS WELL AS THE SOUTHWEST MOUNTAINS FOR TODAY. IN
ADDITION...RED FLAG WARNING WILL FOLLOW FOR THE EAST CENTRAL
PLAINS WHERE HUMIDITIES WILL APPROACH NECESSARY CRITERIA. SHIFTING
BACK TO THE SNOW ISSUE...WINTER STORM WARNING STILL LOOKS
JUSTIFIED FOR NORTHERN AND WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE AND WILL
KEEP AS IS. WINTER STORM WATCH WILL ALSO CONTINUE AS IS FOR UPPER
RIO GRANDE VALLEY AND SOUTHWESTERN MOUNTAINS FROM SUNDAY EVENING
THROUGH MONDAY AS THIS WILL BE THE TIME FRAME WHEN SNOW LEVELS
BEGIN DROPPING TO THE SURFACE OVER THE MAJORITY OF ZONES 3 AND 14.
THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY WITH SNOW LEVELS THROUGH THE DAY
ON MONDAY OVER THESE ZONES. REGARDING QPF AND SNOWFALL
AMOUNTS THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...WILL BE TRENDING TOWARD GFS AND HPC
GUIDANCE WITH AMOUNTS ROUGHLY COMING OUT TO 1 TO 2 FEET IN THE
NORTHWEST MOUNTAINS...8 TO 14 INCHES IN THE CHUSKAS AND
SANGRES...AND GENERALLY 4 TO 8 INCHES IN THE LOWER ELEVATIONS OF
THE NORTH AND WEST.

AGAIN...ATTENTION WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTHEAST HIGHLANDS AND
NORTHEAST PLAINS MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING AS STRONG COLD
FRONT SURGES SOUTHWARD ALONG WITH ACCOMPANYING SNOW. POTENTIAL
STILL EXISTS FOR A QUICK SHOT OF ACCUMULATING SNOWS AND THE NEED
FOR ADDITIONAL HIGHLIGHTS IN THIS AREA WILL HAVE TO BE CONSIDERED
BY UPCOMING SHIFTS.

A MUCH NEEDED BREAK FROM THE WINTRY WEATHER WILL FOLLOW THROUGH
THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK AS WEST TO NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT
PREVAILS. ONLY CONCERNS AT THIS POINT WILL BE SOME LINGERING LIGHT
SHOWERS ACROSS MOUNTAINS NEAR THE COLORADO BORDER AND POSSIBLE
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS IN THE EAST ON WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...
MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS AS WELL AS MVFR AND OCCASIONAL IFR CIGS AND
VSBYS WILL BE COMMON TODAY AND TONIGHT ACROSS NORTHERN AND WESTERN
AREAS. SNOW ASSOCIATED WITH THE RESTRICTED VISIBILITIES WILL BE
HEAVY AT TIMES COULD BE ACCOMPANIED BY THUNDER LATE THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING. MEANWHILE...WIND GUSTS OF 35 TO 45 KNOTS WILL BE
COMMON THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS SOUTHERN AND EASTERN AREAS. STRONG
WINDS WILL CONTINUE ALONG RIDGE TOPS AND THROUGH PASSES OF THE
CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN MOUNTAINS TONIGHT.

NEXT AVIATION DISCUSSION SCHEDULED FOR 22Z...KD
