AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
307 PM MDT TUE APR 7 2009

.DISCUSSION...
AS EXPECTED...WINDS UP A BIT PORTIONS OF E HALF NM THIS AFTN. THIS
WILL ONLY INCREASE THE NEXT 2 DAYS AS THE NEXT UPPER LOW AND WIND
MAX AROUND ITS BASE IMPACT NM. FOR WED AFTN...EXPECTING A GOOD ENOUGH
COMBO OF PRES GRADIENT...STRONG ENOUGH WINDS ALOFT AND MIXING
POTENTIAL TO BRING ABOUT LOW END WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA WINDS FOR
ZONES 8...10 THRU 12...14...16...17...26 STARTING IN 18 TO 20Z RANGE
AND GOING TIL THE 01 TO 03Z PERIOD. THUS WIND ADVISORY HOISTED FOR
THERE AND THEN. WINDS ALOFT EVEN STRONGER...ESPECIALLY 700
MB...THU AM TO EARLY OR MID AFTN...SO HAVE BEEN PERSUADED TO HOIST
A 4TH PERIOD HIGH WIND WATCH FOR MOST OF THE E HALF OF NM.
EXPECTED WIND SPEEDS IN FCST GRIDS JUST TOUCHING THE LOW END OF
HIGH WIND CRITERIA...SO INITIALLY WAS REALLY HESITANT TO ISSUE A
MARGINAL HIGH WIND WATCH FOR THAT FAR OUT. BUT GIVEN THE ALMOST
CERTAINTY THAT AT LEAST AN ADVISORY WOULD BE NEEDED AND THE FACT
THAT THE EASTER PILGRIMAGES IN THE STATE MAY GET UNDERWAY THAT
SOON...DECIDED TO DO THE DEED. OTHER BIG CONCERN WITH THIS IS THE
GREATER THAN USUAL...FOR THIS CLOSE IN...DIFFERENCES IN PCPN COVERAGE
BETWEEN THE GFS...NAM AND EURO MODELS. THE LATTER TWO ARE MUCH
DRIER THAN THE GFS FOR THE WED NIGHT TO THU MORNING
PERIOD...BASICALLY FOR NW AND N CENTRAL NM. AS RESULT DECIDED TO
SCALE BACK A BIT ON POPS FOR THOSE AREAS...THOUGH STILL LEANING A
LITTLE CLOSER TO THE GFS. SIMILARLY TRACKING SYSTEMS HAVE SPREAD A
LITTLE MORE PCPN THAN THE LATTER TWO MODELS INDICATE FOR THIS
ONE...SO WILL GO WITH THAT CONTRINUITY FOR NOW.

WEEKEND SYSTEM STILL APPEARS TO BE THE WETTER ONE...THOUGH THERE
ARE STILL SOME TRACKING DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE EXTENDED MODELS.
EITHER A TRACK FROM AZ TO CO OR ONE FROM AZ THROUGH NM ARE THE
FAVORED SCENARIOS AND WHICHEVER ACTUALLY OCCURS WILL MAKE THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WIDESPREAD SIGNIFICANT PCPN MOST OF THE STATE
VERSUS POSSIBLY LOWER AMOUNTS AND BEING MAINLY CONFINED TO NW NM.
LATTER TRACK THROUGH NM WOULD BRING GENERALLY LESS WIND...BUT ALSO
A GREATER CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS...POSSIBLY STRONG OR SEVERE...TO
SOME PORTION OF E PLAINS.

43

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS. SOME HIGH LEVEL
CIRRUS CLOUDS WILL OVERSPREAD A PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA
OVERNIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY BUT NOT EXPECTING MUCH IN THE WAY IF
IMPACT. GUSTS NEAR 35 KT WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT SOME EASTERN
AIRPORT SITES THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON BEFORE DIMINISHING SOMEWHAT
WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN. STRONGER AND MORE WIDESPREAD GUSTINESS
EXPECTED FOR WEDNESDAY. GUSTS NEAR 35 KT WILL BE COMMONPLACE MOST
TERMINAL SITES DURING THE AFTERNOON. SOME LOCALIZED GUSTS UP TO 45
KT POSSIBLE.

NEXT AVIATION DISCUSSION SCHEDULED FOR 09Z. 50

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
CURRENTLY GETTING SOME STRONG WINDS AND VERY LOW HUMIDITY ACROSS
PORTIONS OF THE EAST CENTRAL PLAINS...PRIMARILY AFFECTING CURRY AND
QUAY COUNTIES. LOOK FOR THE STRONGER WINDS TO DIMINISH DURING THE
EARLY EVENING WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN. HUMIDITY RECOVERY EXPECTED TO
BE POOR TO MODERATE ACROSS CENTRAL AND EASTERN AREAS WHICH ALSO
INCLUDES THE WEST CENTRAL HIGHLANDS SUCH AS THE MAGDALENA DISTRICT.

BIGGEST OVERALL FIRE WEATHER THREAT LOOKS TO BE WEDNESDAY. CIRRUS
CLOUDS CURRENTLY CAUGHT IN THE SUBTROPICAL FLOW SHOULD EVENTUALLY
GET SHUNTED MOSTLY TO THE SOUTH OF OUR FORECAST AREAS AS THE DAY GOES
ON WEDNESDAY. WEATHER MODELS SHOW A DISTINCT MID LEVEL DRY SLOT
SMACK DAB OVER OUR AREA WITH THE APPROACH OF THE PACIFIC STORM
SYSTEM TO OUR WEST. MIXING WILL ALSO BE VERY EFFICIENT THUS THE STRONGER
WIND FLOW ALOFT WILL EVENTUALLY MIX DOWN TO THE SURFACE MOST AREAS.
LOOKING AT GUSTS BETWEEN 35 TO 50 MPH WITH SUSTAINED 20 FOOT WINDS
BETWEEN 15 TO 30 MPH. MANY SITES ACROSS NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NEW
MEXICO BELOW 8000 FEET SHOULD SEE SINGLE DIGIT HUMIDITY READINGS
COUPLED WITH 5 TO 12 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS. WITH THE ABOVE BEING
SAID...WILL CONTINUE RED FLAG WARNING FOR THE MAJORITY OF OUR
FORECAST AREA ON WEDNESDAY.

MODELS FAIRLY CONSISTENT WITH SWINGING A VIGOROUS PACIFIC COLD FRONT
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THURSDAY MORNING. WINDS OVERALL...ARE NOT
EXPECTED TO BE AS STRONG AS WHAT OCCURRED FRI/SAT OF LAST WEEK BUT
THEY STILL WILL BE QUITE STRONG. LOOKING AT GUSTS UP TO 60 MPH
FAVORING AREAS ALONG THE CENTRAL MTN CHAIN EASTWARD TO THE TEXAS
STATE LINE ALTHOUGH THE MAJORITY OF THE DAY SHOULD BE SPENT BETWEEN
40 TO 50 MPH AS FAR AS GUSTS GO. HUMIDITY IS EXPECTED TO RISE DUE
TO LOWERING TEMPERATURES FOLLOWING THE FRONTAL PASSAGE SO CRITICAL
FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL BE LIMITED TO SOUTHERN AND EASTERN
AREAS. FOCUSING NEAR AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 40 BETWEEN SANTA ROSA
TO TUCUMCARI AS WELL AS SOUTHERN HARDING COUNTY WHICH SITS IN ZONE
104. ALSO QUITE POSSIBLE THAT THE CHUPADERA MESA /ZONE 107/ AND
SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY /ZONE 106/ COULD ALSO BE
AFFECTED SO WILL CONTINUE WITH THOSE ZONES IN THE FIRE WEATHER
WATCH. PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL BE FOUND ALONG THE FRONTAL PASSAGE
FOR 2 TO 4 HOURS ALTHOUGH AMOUNTS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE SIGNIFICANT.
PERHAPS SOME MINIMAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ACROSS THE NORTH CENTRAL
MOUNTAINS.

UPPER LEVEL RIDGE EXPECTED TO BUILD OVER THE STATE ON FRIDAY AS
ANOTHER PACIFIC STORM SYSTEM AFFECTS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. SOUTHERLY
FLOW IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM PASSAGE AND COULD
PUSH IN SOME HIGHER MOISTURE FROM THE SOUTH. IT IS STILL UNKNOWN AS
TO HOW MUCH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE CAN BE ENTRAINED UP FROM THE SOUTH
SINCE THE UPCOMING SYSTEM WILL ACT TO SCOUR OUT SOME OF THAT LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE. REGARDLESS...THE WEEKEND SYSTEM WILL PROBABLY
PROVIDE THE BEST CHANCE FOR BENEFICIAL LOWER ELEVATION RAIN AND
HIGHER ELEVATION SNOW FOR A GOOD CHUNK OF THE FORECAST AREA SINCE
THE LATE MARCH EVENT. AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW...MODELS PREDICT THE
MOST BENEFICIAL PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE WESTERN AND NORTHERN
HIGHLANDS. PERHAPS SOME THUNDERSTORMS NEAR THE TEXAS STATE LINE WITH
SOME SORT OF DRY SLOT IN BETWEEN THOSE TWO MAIN PRECIPITATION AREAS.
THUS SOME AREAS COULD MISS OUT. DUE TO THE MORE SOUTHERLY TRACK TO
THE WEEKEND SYSTEM...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL BE A BIT
MORE DIMINISHED. CONFIDENCE AT THIS TIME IS MODERATE AT BEST DUE TO
UNCERTAINTIES IN THE SYSTEM TRACK.
