AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
322 AM MST MON DEC 7 2009

...MAJOR WINTER STORM AND HIGH WINDS TO IMPACT NEW MEXICO THROUGH
   EARLY TUESDAY EVENING...

.DISCUSSION...
PRIMARY FORECAST CHALLENGE IS DECIPHERING HEADLINES AND TRYING TO
KEEP THEM AS SIMPLE AND UNDERSTANDABLE AS POSSIBLE. ZONAL FLOW HAS
COMMENCED ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA IN RESPONSE TO A POTENT UPPER
LEVEL SYSTEM WHICH IS PINWHEELING THROUGH NRN CALIFORNIA WITHIN A
LONG WAVE TROUGH. MOISTURE ADVECTION IS VERY IMPRESSIVE ACROSS THE
DESERT SOUTHWEST WITH DYNAMICS IMPROVING OVER ARIZONA AND WRN NM.
INHERITED FORECAST IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE AND CONTINUED TO INCREASE
POPS DUE TO HEIGHTENED CONFIDENCE. IN FACT...OPTED TO INCREASE MANY
LOCALES TO 100 PERCENT IN THE NW/WC MOUNTAINS. THERMODYNAMICS WILL
SUPPORT SNOW INITIALLY IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN TODAY WITH RAIN/SNOW IN
THE LOWER ELEVATIONS AS WARM AIR ADVECTION TAKES ITS TOLL. PRIMARY
BAND OF PRECIPITATION WILL WORK INTO ERN AZ/WRN NM AFTER MIDNIGHT...
INCREASING INTENSITY AND COVERAGE OF ACTIVITY. COLD AIR THROUGHOUT
THE COLUMN WILL INVADE THE AREA...DROPPING SNOW LEVELS TONIGHT. AXIS
OF THE UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE AND SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL TRAVERSE
THE STATE FROM WEST-EAST FROM DAYBREAK ON TUE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON
HOURS. THE GENERAL GIST OF THE SNOW FORECAST HAS NOT CHANGED WITH
RESPECT TO ACCUMULATIONS. WHAT REALLY THROWS A FLY IN THE OINTMENT
IS THE POTENTIAL FOR HIGH WINDS OVER SRN NM. MODELS SUGGEST A VERY
HEALTHY 105-115KT 500MB JET RIPPING ACROSS THE REGION. THESE WINDS
WILL TRANSLATE TO THE SURFACE...MAKING FOR A SLAM DUNK FORECAST FOR
FOR MUCH OF SE NM. WHAT COMPLICATES THE SITUATION IS THE HEAVY SNOW
THAT WILL FALL OVER WRN/CENTRAL NM. WILL MAKE AN ATTEMPT TO EXPLAIN
CURRENT THINKING.

-INHERITED WINTER STORM WARNING FOR NW/NC NEW MEXICO LOOKS GOOD AND
WILL NOT ADJUST. THE WEST FACING SLOPES WILL GET HAMMERED WITH MAJOR
SNOW TOTALS...ESPECIALLY WITHIN THE SAN JUAN AND JEMEZ MOUNTAINS...
WHERE ONE TO TWO FEET WILL BE COMMON. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF THE
SAN JUAN PEAKS NEAR THE COLORADO BORDER APPROACH THREE FEET. WINDS
WILL BE A FACTOR THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE EVENT BUT SHOULD REMAIN BELOW
WARNING CRITERIA. CONSIDERABLE BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW IS EXPECTED.

-CONFIDENCE THAT WARNING CRITERIA SNOWS WILL ACCUMULATE IN NMZ508..
WITH LESSER AMOUNTS IN NMZ505-506-509. ALTHOUGH SNOW AMOUNTS MAY BE
A TAD SHORT IN THE WARNING CRITERIA...THE EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH WINDS
WILL OFFSET THIS CONCERN. 500MB JET WILL BE CENTERED OVER THE UPPER
GILA AND WORRIED THAT HIGH WIND WARNING COULD ALSO BE MET. DECIDED
TO ISSUE A BLIZZARD WARNING FOR THIS ZONE. NOTE...THE STRONGER WINDS
WILL NOT ARRIVE UNTIL EARLY TUESDAY MORNING BUT OPTED TO KEEP IT AS
SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE. WILL RUN THIS SEGMENT FROM 19Z TODAY THROUGH 23Z
TUESDAY.

-LESSER SNOW AMOUNTS AND WIND SPEEDS ARE EXPECTED IN THE NORTHEAST
HIGHLANDS...WEST CENTRAL HIGHLANDS AND THE ALBUQUERQUE METRO AREA.
WAS TEMPTED TO HOLD OFF ON THESE ZONES BUT HAZARDOUS TRAVEL IS TOO
MUCH OF A CONCERN TO IGNORE AT THIS POINT. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS SHOULD
BE CONFINED TO THE WEST MESA AND ABQ HEIGHTS AND MAY BE A TAD UNDER
ADVISORY CRITERIA...BUT WIND ADVISORY SPEEDS WILL MAKE UP IT. OPTED
TO RUN THIS SEGMENT FROM 07Z-23Z TUESDAY.

-HIGH WINDS WILL BE A SLAM DUNK FOR AREAS ALONG/EAST OF THE CENTRAL
MOUNTAIN CHAIN AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 40. WILL UPGRADE CURRENT HIGH
WIND WATCH TO A WARNING AND ADJUST TIMING TO 07Z/TUE THROUGH 03Z/WED.
WILL ISSUE A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR NMZ520-524-525 AS WELL AS THE EAST
CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST PLAINS. ANTICIPATING HIGH WIND WARNING CRITERIA
FOR THE SANDIA/MANZANOS...ESTANCIA VALLEY AND THE CENTRAL HIGHLANDS
BUT LIGHT TO MODERATE ACCUMULATIONS ARE DEFINITELY A CONCERN. WASN/T
SURE WHETHER TO POST A WINTER STORM WARNING OR HIGH WIND WARNING DUE
TO UNCERTAINTY ON WHICH WILL HAVE THE GREATER IMPACT...THUS DECIDED
TO ISSUE A WINTER STORM WATCH AND LET THE DAY CREW MONITOR WITH THE
12Z MODEL DATA. THE SANTA FE METRO ZONE WILL LIKELY EXPERIENCE MORE
SNOW THAN WIND...BUT WANTED A SIMILAR TIME FRAME WITH ADJACENT ZONES
TO THE SOUTH.

-ANTICIPATING WIND ADVISORY SPEEDS IN THE NE PLAINS FROM 15Z-03Z TUE
BUT WILL LET DAY CREW ISSUE THIS SEGMENT.

HEAVY SNOWS WILL DIMINISH TUESDAY AFTERNOON WITH WIND SPEEDS FALLING
BELOW CRITERIA TUESDAY EVENING. A ZONAL PATTERN WILL EVOLVE FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE WORK WEEK. THIS WILL ALLOW UPPER LEVEL PERTURBATIONS
TO PASS THROUGH THE FLOW...KEEPING LOW GRADE POPS IN THE WRN HALF OF
THE STATE. DID NOT HAVE MUCH TIME TO EVALUATE...BUT A QUICK GANDER OF
THE GRIDS SUGGESTED THAT EVERYTHING WAS IN GOOD SHAPE.

UPDATED WSW/NPW PRODUCTS WILL BE OUT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. DPORTER

&&

.AVIATION...
STRENGTHENING SW TO W FLOW ALOFT AHEAD OF APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL
LOW PRESSURE TROUGH MOISTENING ATMOSPHERE WITH AREAS OF MVFR AND IFR
CIGS LIKELY ACROSS ROUGHLY THE W AND N THIRD OF NM NEXT 24 HOURS
WITH SOME MINOR VARIATIONS AS DAY PROGRESSES. MT OBSCURATIONS WILL
BECOME MORE COMMON AS DAY PROGRESSES AS WELL. LOCALLY IFR CIGS MAY
DROP A LITTLE FARTHER S TO THE E OF CENTRAL MT CHAIN TODAY DUE TO
COLD AND MOIST ATMOSPHERE BEHIND BACK DOOR SFC COLD FRONT. TAF SITES
MOST IMPACTED THROUGH MOST OF PERIOD BY IFR OR LOWER CIGS TO BE
KTCC...KLVS...KGUP. THEN BY LATE MORNING OR AFTN KFMN AND AFTER
ROUGHLY 00Z KSAF...KROW AND KABQ. LOCALLY HEAVY SNOW WILL GREATLY
REDUCE VSBY AT TIMES ACROSS W AND N SECTIONS ESPECIALLY LATER TODAY
AND TONIGHT. EXPECT WINDS OVER AND TO LEE OF MTS TO BECOME VERY
STRONG LATER TONIGHT.
