AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
ISSUED BY NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EL PASO TX/SANTA TERESA NM
321 PM MST TUE DEC 14 2010

.DISCUSSION...
WFO EL PASO IS BACKING UP WFO ALBUQUERQUE TODAY. HAVE FOCUSED
PRIMARILY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHORT TERM FORECAST WITH NO
CHANGES MADE TO THE EXTENDED FORECAST.

A PERIOD OF ACTIVE WEATHER WILL OCCUR OVER NEW MEXICO FOR THE
NEXT FEW DAYS. AN APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL ENHANCE
WINDS ACROSS THE REGION BEGINING TONIGHT AND CONTINUING THROUGH
TOMORROW. MODELS HAVE TRENDED WIND SPEEDS UPWARD ALONG AND JUST
EAST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN FROM THE COLORADO BORDER SOUTH
TO LINCOLN COUNTY. WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA OF 25 TO 35 MPH WITH
GUSTS ABOVE 45 MAY OCCUR AFTER MIDNIGHT AND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
TOMORROW. A WIND ADVISORY FOR THE AREAS ALONG THE CENTRAL
MOUNTAINS OF NEW MEXICO WILL BE ISSUED.

BY TOMORROW AFTERNOON...SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE WILL BE PULLED UP
AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM AND WILL BEGIN PRODUCING LOWLAND RAIN AND HIGH
MOUNTAIN SNOW SHOWERS OVER NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE. SHOWERS
WILL SPREAD SOUTHWARD AND EASTWARD WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH
THURSDAY NIGHT. LATER SHIFTS WILL FINE TUNE POSSIBLE SNOW AMOUNTS
THAT MAY OCCUR FROM THIS SYSTEM.

THE STORM SYSTEM WILL EXIT THE STATE FRIDAY MORNING WITH HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDING OVER THE STATE FOR THE WEEKEND AND FIRST PART OF
NEXT WEEK. GENERALLY DRY CONDITIONS EXPECTED DURING THE THAT TIME
WITH TEMPERATURES GRADUALLY WARMING TO ABOVE NORMALS THE MIDDLE OF
NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION FOR THE
NEXT 24 HOURS. HIGH CLOUDS WILL STREAM ACROSS NM THROUGHOUT THE
NIGHT WITH A MID-DECK DEVELOPING IN THE NRN TIER OF THE CWA LATER
THIS EVENING. WINDS ALOFT WILL CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN WITH STRONG
WINDS POSSIBLE ALONG AND EAST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS. THE
STRONGEST WINDS WILL LIKELY OCCUR IN ASSOCIATION WITH SOME
MOUNTAINWAVE ACTIVITY THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HRS...MAINLY FROM THE
SANGRE/SANDIA MOUNTAINS EAST INTO THE ADJACENT HIGH PLAINS. WIND
SPEEDS OF 18-25KTS WITH GUSTS UP TO 35KTS WILL BE COMMON ACROSS
THE AFORMENTIONED REGION. SHOWERS WILL BEGIN TO DEVELOP OVER
NORTHWEST AND NORTHCENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE STATE BY TOMORROW
AFTERNOON.

NEXT AVIATION DISCUSSION SCHEDULED FOR 10Z.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
EDITED PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED WEDNESDAY BEFORE TRANSITIONING TO A COOLER/MORE MOIST
ENVIRONMENT FOR THE LATE WORK WEEK PERIOD. IN FACT...THERE IS A
THREAT FOR WETTING PCPN THU/ THU NIGHT AS AN UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE TRAVERSES THE REGION.

CIRRUS WILL CONTINUE TO SPILL INTO NEW MEXICO THIS AFTERNOON WITH
A LOWERING DECK EXPECTED TONIGHT IN THE NRN TIER OF THE CWFA.
UPPER LEVEL WINDS ARE PROGGED TO INTENSIFY THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT AS
GRADIENT TIGHTENS. 700MB WINDS WILL CLIMB INTO THE 40-45KT RANGE.
WINDS ALOFT WILL CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN TONIGHT WHICH WILL KEEP
THE THREAT FOR MOUNTAINWAVE ACTIVITY PERSISTING IN FAVORED
LOCALES. THIS WILL ALSO LEAD TO POOR RECOVERIES ALONG AND EAST OF
THE CENTRAL MTS. A 50-60KT 700MB JET CORE WILL BISECT THE STATE BY
LATE MORNING ALONG THE I-40 CORRIDOR. THIS SHOULD ALLOW A SFC LEE-
SIDE TROUGH TO DEEPEN IN THE ERN PLAINS...WHICH WILL INCREASE THE
SFC PRESSURE GRADIENT. A WINDY DAY IS PROJECTED WITH POTENTIAL
30-35KT SUSTAINED AND GUSTS UP TO 45-50KTS ALONG THE CENTRAL
MTS/ADJACENT HIGH PLAINS. THE HIGHEST SPEEDS WILL LIKELY BE IN THE
CLINES CORNERS AREA. CHANCE OF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS
IS GREATEST FOR NMZ108 AS 10-15 PCT HUMIDITIES WILL BE COMMON. MOST
AREAS WILL EXPERIENCE VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT VENTILATION RATES.

BACKDOOR COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH THE ERN PLAINS WED NIGHT...
LEADING TO HIGHER HUMIDITIES. MEANWHILE...THE PACIFIC ASPECT OF THE
FRONT AND AN ASSOCIATED UPR LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL TRAVERSE NM FOR
THU/THU NIGHT. WIDESPREAD SHOWERS ARE ANTICIPATED AS MOISTURE LEVELS
IMPROVE. PSEUDO-ZONAL FLOW WILL PERSIST INTO THE WEEKEND WHICH WILL
KEEP NORTHWEST/NORTH CENTRAL PCPN CHANCES ACTIVE. GUSTY WINDS COULD
RETURN TO THE INTERSTATE 40 CORRIDOR ON SUNDAY BUT MINIMUM RH VALUES
SHOULD REMAIN ABOVE CRITICAL THRESHOLDS.
