.DISCUSSION...
CURRENTLY...BROAD TROUGH ALOFT EXTENDS FROM CANADIAN ARCTIC TO
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA...WITH NEW MEXICO REMAINING IN SOUTHWEST FLOW
IN ADVANCE OF DEEP COLD PLUNGE. AGGRESSIVE SHORTWAVE COLD PUNCH
OVER THE SNAKE RIVER VALLEY WILL MOVE TO THE FOUR CORNERS BY THIS
EVENING TO DELIVER ONE MORE SHOVE BACK TOWARD WINTER WEATHER. AT
THE SURFACE...COLD FRONT DRAPED ALONG NEW MEXICO NORTHERN BORDER
DIVIDING THE 30S AND 40S AHEAD OF THE FRONT WITH 20S AND TEENS BEHIND.

MODELS...GOOD CONSENSUS SOLUTION BRINGS SNAKE RIVER WEATHER SYSTEM
TO THE FOUR CORNERS TONIGHT...CLOSES OFF A LOW OVER NORTHERN NEW
MEXICO...AND THEN DRIFTS THIS LOW TO THE NORTHEAST PLAINS BY
SUNDAY AFTERNOON...AND INTO THE TEXAS PANHANDLE BY EARLY MONDAY
MORNING. RESULTING CUT OFF LOW OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS WILL MOVE
LITTLE THEREAFTER...WITH RIDGE BUILDING NORTH AND EAST FROM THE
TROPICAL EAST PACIFIC TO THE NORTHERN ROCKIES...KEEPING NEW MEXICO
IN NORTHERLY FLOW TUESDAY. RIDGE COLLAPSES WEDNESDAY TO RETURN
MORE ZONAL FLOW TO THE STATE WITH NEXT INBOUND TROUGH COMING
ASHORE IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND CLIPPING THE FOUR CORNERS ON
THURSDAY. MOST OF THE ENERGY WILL REMAIN NORTH OF THE STATE AS
THIS TROUGH LIFTS OUT. NEXT NORTH PACIFIC SYSTEM WILL CROSS THE
CALIFORNIA COAST AND ARRIVE LATE FRIDAY AND LINGERING THROUGH NEXT
WEEKEND.

NEAR TERM...TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY...COLD FRONT MAKING STEADY
PROGRESS SOUTHWARD TODAY WILL START CHANGING RAIN OVER TO SNOW AS
SNOW LEVELS FALL DOWN TO 7000 FEET BY THIS EVENING. SNOW OVER THE
FAR NORTHWEST HIGHLANDS WILL EXPAND IN COVERAGE OVERNIGHT TO
INCLUDE ALL THE HIGH COUNTRY FROM THE SANGRE DE CRISTO MOUNTAINS
WEST WITH HEAVIEST AMOUNTS CLOSE TO THE COLORADO BORDER. WILL
UPGRADE CURRENT WATCH TO WARNING WITH MORNING PACKAGE TO COVER
HEAVY SNOW ACCUMULATIONS THROUGH TONIGHT. COLDER AIR WORKING IN
WILL DROP TEMPERATURES BELOW NORMAL FOR ALL BUT THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS.

FOR SUNDAY...SNOW LEVELS FALLING STEADILY THROUGH THE DAY AS COLD
AIR PLUNGE TAKES HOLD OF NEW MEXICO. CLOSED LOW ALOFT SHIFTING TO
THE NORTHEAST HIGHLANDS BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON WILL HELP SHIFT SNOW
FOCUS EASTWARD IN TURN...WITH HEAVIEST ACCUMULATION ALONG THE
COLORADO LINE FROM THE SANGRE DE CRISTOS EAST...INCLUDING JOHNSON
MESA AND RATON PASS. WILL CONTINUE WATCH FOR THESE POINTS THIS
ROUND...AND ANTICIPATING UPGRADE TO WARNING BY DAY SHIFT
COLLEAGUES FOR AT LEAST THE JOHNSON MESA AND HIGH COUNTRY OF
WESTERN UNION COUNTY. AS COLD FRONT CRASHES SOUTHWARD TO THE MEXICO
BORDER BY SUNDAY NIGHT...SUNDAY TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN DOUBLE
DIGITS BELOW NORMAL WITH LOW LEVEL FLOW SHIFTING TO THE NORTHWEST.

FOR MONDAY...CLOSED LOW MOVING TO THE TEXAS PANHANDLE DURING THE
DAY WITH RIDGE STARTING TO BUILD INTO WESTERN NEW MEXICO. SNOW
SHOWERS ENDING FROM WEST TO EAST DURING THE DAY WITH LINGERING
SNOW SHOWERS MAINLY NORTH OF INTERSTATE 40 AND CLOSE TO THE TEXAS
BORDER. MONDAY TEMPERATURES REMAINING BELOW NORMAL IN BROAD
NORTHERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW.

FOR TUESDAY...LITTLE EASTWARD MOVEMENT OF CLOSED LOW FROM THE
CENTRAL PLAINS COMBINED WITH RIDGE REMAINING OVER WESTERN NEW
MEXICO WILL PERMIT MODEST TEMPERATURE RECOVERIES BACK TOWARD
NORMAL VALUES WITH SNOW SHOWERS NOW WELL EAST OF THE STATE.

OUTLOOK...WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...RIDGE COLLAPSES WEDNESDAY IN
ADVANCE OF NEXT INBOUND NORTH PACIFIC SYSTEM. DEEPENING SURFACE
TROUGH OVER EASTERN NEW MEXICO WILL HELP SWING LOW LEVEL FLOW BACK
AROUND TO THE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST...WITH WEDNESDAY TEMPERATURES
BACK TO SEASONAL NORMALS. PACIFIC SYSTEM WILL CLIP NORTHERN NEW
MEXICO THURSDAY...BUT CURRENT FORECASTS SHOW MOST OF THE ENERGY
WILL STAY NORTH OF THE STATE. DEEPENING SURFACE TROUGH OVER THE
TEXAS PANHANDLE WILL UP WIND SPEEDS OVER THE EASTERN PLAINS AS THE
TROUGH MOVES THROUGH. RIDGING RETURNS THROUGH FRIDAY AS NEXT
PACIFIC SYSTEM SWEEPS EAST TO THE FOUR CORNERS BY LATE
FRIDAY NIGHT...WITH WORK WEEK WRAP UP TEMPERATURES ENDING UP

.AVIATION...
WIDESPREAD MVFR CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST ACROSS WESTERN AND CENTRAL
AREAS THROUGH 00Z SUN...AS RAIN AND HIGHER ELEVATION SNOW SHOWERS
EXPAND IN AREAL COVERAGE AS THE DAY PROGRESSES.  IFR OR LIFR
CIGS/VSBYS AND MT OBSCURATIONS WILL MOST LIKELY BE FOUND ALONG THE
WEST SLOPES OF THE SANGRES...AS WELL AS FROM THE SOUTHERN SAN JUANS
AND JEMEZ MOUNTAINS TO THE WEST-CENTRAL MOUNTAINS. IN CONTRAST TO
THE ACTIVE WX ACROSS THE WEST...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL IN THE
EAST DURING THE DAY TODAY WITH A GRADUAL DETERIORATION ALONG THE EAST
SLOPES FROM KLVS TO KRTN LATE.  AFTER 00Z SUN...IFR/LIFR CIGS AND
VSBYS WILL EXPAND ACROSS THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS...NORTHWEST AND WEST
CENTRAL AREAS WITH WIDESPREAD MVFR ELSEWHERE.  THE EXCEPTION WILL BE
AREAS SOUTHEAST OF A KTCC TO KSRR LINE WHERE PREDOMINATELY VFR
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS.  LOCALLY WINDY
CONDITIONS WILL BE ENCOUNTERED ALONG AND TO THE EAST OF THE CENTRAL
MOUNTAIN CHAIN.

.FIRE WEATHER...
FORECAST FOCUS THIS PERIOD CONTINUES TO BE A POTENT UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH THAT WILL STRENGTHEN AS IT DROPS SOUTH-SOUTHEAST TOWARD THE
FOUR CORNERS REGION LATE TODAY.  THIS TROUGH WILL EVOLVE INTO A
SLOW-MOVING CLOSED LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT WILL TRACK FROM THE
NORTHWEST CORNER OF NEW MEXICO SHORTLY AFTER DAYBREAK SUNDAY TO THE
NORTHERN TEXAS PANHANDLE BY SUNDAY NIGHT.  ALTHOUGH FIRE WX CONCERNS
ARE NIL...THIS INCOMING SYSTEM WILL BRING SIGNIFICANT SNOWS TO MUCH
OF THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS WITH BETTER THAN A FOOT OF FRESH SNOW
EXPECTED FOR THE HIGHER TERRAIN...AS WELL AS AREAS NEAR THE COLORADO
BORDER BETWEEN RATON AND CLAYTON. EVEN THE LOWER ELEVATIONS OF
NORTHERN NEW MEXICO CAN EXPECT SOME ACCUMULATIONS.  IN ADDITION TO
THE WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION...MUCH COLDER AIR WILL FILTER SOUTH IN
WAKE OF THIS UPPER LOW WITH READINGS REMAINING WELL BELOW AVERAGE
SUNDAY INTO MONDAY.

THE PROJECTED TRACK OF THE UPPER LOW WILL FAVOR CENTRAL AND NORTHERN
AREAS FOR PRECIPITATION...WITH PRECIPITATION MORE LIMITED ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN TIER OF ZONES ALTHOUGH WETTING PRECIPITATION CAN BE EXPECTED
FOR THE MOUNTAINS ESPECIALLY THE SOUTH-CENTRAL RANGES.

SIGNIFICANTLY DRIER AIR WILL SPREAD INTO WESTERN AND SOUTHERN AREAS
SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY...WITH LINGERING PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE
NORTHEAST CORNER.
