AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
325 AM MST SUN JAN 27 2008

.DISCUSSION...
MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGES IN THE SHORT TERM INVOLVE PCPN TYPE AS WELL
AS TEMPERATURES. UPPER LOW OVER THE ERN PACIFIC STARTING TO MIGRATE
INTO CENTRAL CA EARLY THIS MORNING WITH PLENTY OF WARM AIR ADVECTION
IMPACTING THE DESERT SOUTHWEST. INCREASING AND LOWERING CLOUD DECKS
STARTING TO IMPACT THE STATE WITH A WEAK BAND NOTED ON KABX WSR-88D.
THIS IS LIKELY THE LEADING EDGE OF THE MOISTURE ADVECTION AS SFC DEW
POINTS ACROSS NM ARE IN THE SINGLE DIGITS...WHILE VALUES OVER SRN AZ
ARE ALREADY WITHIN THE UPPER 30S TO MID 40S. GENERALLY...MODELS ARE
IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH SPEED/TRACK OF THE UPR LEVEL FEATURES.
HOWEVER...THE 00Z NAM APPEARS TO HAVE A FAIRLY COLD BIAS. WITH DEEP
SW FLOW...FEEL THE GFS HAS A BETTER HANDLE ON TEMP PROFILES. INITIAL
BANDS OF PCPN WILL LIKELY IMPACT THE WRN PORTIONS OF THE STATE LATER
THIS MORNING WITH ACTIVITY GETTING ORGANIZED LATE THIS AFTERNOON OR
EARLY EVENING. MOST OF THE ACTIVITY DURING THE PEAK HEATING HRS WILL
BE IN THE LIQUID FORM. HIGHS TODAY WILL BE SIMILAR TO SAT ACROSS THE
WEST...HOWEVER INCREASING GRADIENT ALOFT WILL WARRANT COMPRESSIONAL
HEATING EAST OF THE CENTRAL MTS. THE ENERGY AND ASSOCIATED COLD CORE
WITH THE UPR LOW WILL MOVE THRU THE FOUR CORNERS TONIGHT. THIS WAVE
WILL ALLOW FOR LOWER SNOW LEVELS ACROSS THE NW...PARTICULARLY AFTER
MIDNIGHT. MOST OF THE SIGNIFICANT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS TONIGHT SHOULD
OCCUR ALONG THE COLORADO BORDER WITHIN THE SAN JUAN MTS...ESPECIALLY
ABOVE 7500 FEET. IN THE MEANTIME...ANTICIPATE SNOW LEVELS OF 7500 TO
8500 FEET NEAR THE CO BORDER IN THE NW PLATEAU AND 8500 TO 9000 FEET
WITHIN THE WEST CENTRAL AND SW MTS OVERNIGHT. ACCUMULATIONS OF 5 TO
10 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE ABOVE 7500 FEET TONIGHT IN THE SRN SAN JUANS.
ONE TO 3 INCHES ARE PROBABLE ABOVE THE AFOREMENTIONED SNOW LEVELS OF
WRN NM. DECIDED TO UPGRADE WINTER STORM WATCH FOR THE NW MTS. FEEL
ADVISORY TYPE SNOWS ARE POSSIBLE FOR NMZ001-004 HOWEVER WILL LET DAY
SHIFT EVALUATE ANOTHER MODEL RUN. NMZ008-014 ALSO A TARGET FOR ADVSY
SNOWS...BUT PLENTY OF WARM AIR COULD CURTAIL SNOW AMOUNTS. READINGS
WILL BE TRICKY TONIGHT...ALTHOUGH OPTED TO THROW OUT THE MET NUMBERS
AS THEY ARE WAY TOO COLD.

A SLIGHT DOWNTURN IN PCPN IS EXPECTED FOR LATE MON MORNING THRU THE
AFTERNOON HOURS...EXCLUDING THE NRN MOUNTAINS. THE MAIN STORY DURING
THIS PERIOD WILL BE THE EXTREMELY STRONG WINDS ALONG AND EAST OF THE
CENTRAL MTN CHAIN. MODELS SUGGEST 50-70KTS AT 700MB ALONG AND NORTH
OF THE INTERSTATE 40 CORRIDOR. THIS MOMENTUM SHOULD TRANSLATE TO THE
SURFACE. MOS GUIDANCE CURRENTLY RANGING FROM 35-42KT SUSTAINED WINDS
AND THIS WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED. CHOSE TO DEFER WIND HEADLINES...
BUT THE DAY CREW MAY NEED TO HOIST A HIGH WIND WATCH. TO COMPLICATE
MATTERS EVEN MORE...DRY DOWNSLOPE WINDS MAY ALLOW FOR CRITICAL FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS. WILL CONTEMPLATE A FIRE WEATHER WATCH ACROSS THE
ERN PLAINS LATER THIS MORNING WITH THE FWF PACKAGE. HUMIDITIES WILL
BE MARGINAL PER REGION III CRITERIA...HOWEVER WITH PLENTY OF DORMANT
GRASS ACROSS ERN NM...THIS MAY POSE AS A SERIOUS FIRE WEATHER THREAT.
THE FINAL UPPER LEVEL KICKER AND ASSOCIATED FRONT WILL SWEEP ACROSS
THE AREA MON NIGHT. THIS SYSTEM WILL BE COLDER IN NATURE AND SHOULD
SUPPORT MORE SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ACROSS THE NORTH. QUIET WEATHER WILL
RETURN TO THE LAND OF ENCHANTMENT FOR TUE BEFORE ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL
SYSTEM RACES ACROSS THE GREAT BASIN AND THROUGH NM DURING THE MIDDLE
OF THE WEEK. DPORTER

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS FOR ALL OF NM NEXT 8-10 HOURS. THEREAFTER MVFR AND
SPOTTY IFR CONDITIONS SHOULD DEVELOP OVER THE WEST AND SPREAD NE
BETWEEN 27/17Z-27/06Z 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 DEVELOP ACROSS
HIGHER RIDGES AND INTO THE EAST CENTRAL AND NORTHEASTERN PLAINS OF
THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN THIS AFTERNOON WITH EVEN STRONGER WINDS
POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT INTO MON FOR CENTRAL MTN CHAIN AND EASTWARD.
