AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
306 PM MDT TUE SEP 29 2009

.DISCUSSION...
THE LATEST WATER VAPOR LOOP SHOWS A HIGH AMPLITUDE UPPER TROUGH AXIS
PUSHING ONSHORE THE WEST COAST WITH INCREASINGLY MOIST MID/UPPER
LEVEL SW FLOW DEVELOPING OUT AHEAD OF IT OVER THE GREAT BASIN.
400-250MB ACARS WIND PLOT COMBINED WITH 350-276MB GOES SATELLITE
WINDS SHOW A 90-110 KNOT JET AXIS DIVING INTO THE BACKSIDE OF THE
TROUGH WHILE A BROAD AREA OF 80-100 KNOT UPPER WINDS SPREAD ACROSS
THE DESERT SW. 12Z/18Z GFS/NAM/UKMET/ECMWF...SUPPORTED BY THE 12Z
GEFS/15Z SREF H5 HEIGHT FIELDS...INDICATE BETTER AGREEMENT ON THE
TIMING OF THE TROUGH PASSAGE WEDNESDAY NIGHT. EXPECT THIN HIGH
CLOUDS TO DEVELOP OVERNIGHT...ALONG WITH A FEW BREEZES IN THE FAR
WEST AND NE PLAINS...THUS KEEPING LOW TEMPS 5 TO 10F ABOVE NORMAL.

WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT WILL BE THE MOST ACTIVE WEATHER
PERIOD THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. DRY AND WINDY CONDITIONS TOMORROW
WILL BRING FIRE CONCERNS AND WIND ADVISORIES TO MUCH OF THE EAST
AND WEST. SEE FIRE DISCUSSION FOR RFW DETAILS. THE LOCAL 7.5KM WRF
SHOWS 40-50 KNOT 700MB WINDS OVER THE NW CORNER OF THE STATE SLIDING
EAST INTO THE CENTRAL HIGHLANDS THROUGH THE DAY. HOISTED WIND
ADVISORIES IN AND ADJACENT TO THESE AREAS. THERE WILL BE SOME
MOISTURE OVER THE NORTHERN MTS WHERE MOIST SW FLOW BRINGS UPSLOPE
SHRA/TSRA BY LATE MORNING. A SHARP FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL SLIDE
SE THROUGH THE STATE 03Z-12Z THURSDAY WITH STRONG FRONTOGENESIS
TAKING SHAPE ON ITS PROGRESSION. LOCALES SUCH AS CLINES CORNERS
MAY EXPERIENCE AN ADDITIONAL PERIOD OF ADVISORY CONDITIONS WITH
THE FRONTAL PASSAGE SO AN UPDATE TO THE ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED
ON UPCOMING SHIFTS.

MUCH COOLER CONDITIONS DEVELOP ON THURSDAY AS COLD AIR ADVECTION
SETTLES IN OVER THE AREA ON BRISK NW FLOW. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
THEN BUILDS IN FRIDAY MORNING WITH THE MOST WIDESPREAD COLDEST
TEMPS EXPECTED SO FAR THIS SEASON. FREEZE WARNINGS MAY BE NEEDED
FOR LOCALES SUCH AS THE NW CORNER AROUND FMN...AND THE RIO GRANDE
VALLEY FLOOR FROM SAF TO ABQ...ALONG WITH THE NORTHEAST HIGHLANDS
AND ESTANCIA VALLEY. COOL CONDITIONS CONTINUE INTO FRIDAY HOWEVER
WINDS WILL BE LIGHTER. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE REGION
INTO SUNDAY WILL FAVOR MORE OVERNIGHT INVERSIONS AND CHILLY LOW
TEMPS OVER THE WEEKEND.

INTO NEXT WEEK...MODELS CONTINUE TO FLIP FLOP ON THE DEVELOPMENT
OF MOIST SW FLOW AND SOME UPPER FORCING ACROSS THE SW CONUS. LEFT
EXTENDED GRIDS TO MOS GUIDANCE AGAIN AS ISOLD/SCT POPS ALREADY
IN THE FORECAST. GUYER

&&

.AVIATION...
ISOLATED EVENING SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE BUT MOST AREAS
WILL SEE A FEW CLOUDS BUT NO SIGNIFICANT WEATHER. SURFACE AND MID LVL
WINDS WILL INCREASE WEDNESDAY MORNING IN THE WEST AND ALSO ALONG THE
EAST SLOPES OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN...A PRELUDE TO A VERY WINDY
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON IN MANY AREAS.

NEXT AVIATION DISCUSSION SCHEDULED FOR 09Z.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
FIRE WEATHER WATCH WEDNESDAY FOR FIRE WEATHER ZONES 101/105/106.
RED FLAG CONDITIONS FOR STRONG WINDS AND LOW HUMIDITY WILL LIKELY
DEVELOP WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON FROM THE NORTHWEST PLATEAU AND
NORTHWEST HIGHLANDS EASTWARD TO THE MIDDLE RIO GRANDE VALLEY.

THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH APPROACHING FROM THE WEST WILL GENERATE
SUSTAINED SOUTHWEST SURFACE WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH ACROSS MUCH OF THE
AREA WITH HIGHER GUSTS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. MIXING AND GOOD SURFACE
HEATING WILL RESULT IN RH LESS THAN 15 PERCENT IN PARTS OF NORTHWEST
NEW MEXICO AND IN THE MID RIO GRANDE VALLEY AS WELL.

THE AREA WITH THE HIGHEST WIND GUSTS AND CORRESPONDING LOWEST RH
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON COULD VERY WELL BE IN THE FOUR CORNERS REGION
AND THE NEARBY CHUSKA MOUNTAINS.

AS THE TROUGH ALOFT PASSES OVER NEW MEXICO WEDNESDAY NIGHT IT WILL
BRING MUCH COLDER AIR IN ITS WAKE. WITH MUCH DRYER AIR MOVING IN
BEHIND THE COLD FRONT EXPECT ONLY FAIR HUMIDITY RECOVERIES WEDNESDAY
NIGHT...WITH SOME BETTER RECOVERIES OVER THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS NEAR
THE COLORADO BORDER.

ANOTHER POSSIBLE THREAT FOR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL
OCCUR DURING THE DAY THURSDAY FROM THE EAST SLOPES OF THE SANDIA-
MANZANO MOUNTAINS THROUGH THE EAST CENTRAL PLAINS TO THE TEXAS
BORDER. STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS BEHIND THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AND
DRIER BEHIND THE TROUGH WILL BE THE MAIN FORCING FEATURES.

ELSEWHERE THURSDAY WILL BE REMARKABLE FOR THE MUCH COOLER
TEMPERATURES AND BREEZY CONDITIONS.

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY LOOK MUCH CALMER AFTER A RATHER COLD NIGHT
THURSDAY NIGHT EXTENDING INTO EARLY FRIDAY MORNING.
