CALIFORNIA. AS IT QUICKLY SWINGS THROUGH THE SOUTHWEST CONUS TONIGHT
INTO TOMORROW...AN ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL QUICKLY MOVE FROM WEST
TO EAST ACROSS THE CWA ON THURSDAY. A LINE OF SHOWERS AND PERHAPS A
FEW THUNDERSTORMS WILL FORM ALONG THE LOW LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS ACROSS
WESTERN NM. 700 MB TEMPS DO FALL TO -2C TO -6C WITH THE
FRONT...WHICH IS COLD ENOUGH FOR SOME SNOW OVER THE MOUNTAINS. THINK
AT BEST...ZONE 510 COULD SEE SOME ADVISORY AMOUNTS... HOWEVER...
MODELS HAVE BEEN FLIP-FLOPPING WITH REGARDS TO QPF. ALSO CONCERNED
SOME ADVISORY AMOUNTS WILL FALL ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST MOUNTAINS AS
COLDER AIR SHOULD BE FIRMLY IN PLACE...7H TEMPS OF -6 TO -8C...BY
THE TIME THE BULK OF THE PRECIPITATION MOVES IN THURSDAY NIGHT. WILL
HOLD OFF ON ANY WINTER HIGHLIGHTS FOR NOW AND LET THE MIDNIGHT CREW
TAKE A LOOK AT THE NEW MODEL RUNS.

THE REST OF THE AREA ON THURSDAY WILL BE LOOKING AT ANOTHER WINDY
DAY. BY EARLY THURSDAY MORNING...700 MB WINDS OF 50 KTS OR GREATER
WILL OVERSPREAD THE AREA.  HOWEVER...THE MID LEVEL JET LOOKS TO EXIT
THE AREA BY EARLY TO MID AFTERNOON.  THEREFORE...LOOKS LIKE THE
STRONGEST MIXING WILL NOT COINCIDE WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS ALOFT.
ANOTHER FACTOR CONTINUES TO BE THE POSITION OF THE SURFACE LOW.  BY
18Z THURS...THE CENTER OF THE SFC LOW WILL BE OVER NE
COLORADO....RATHER THAN SE COLORADO...WHICH SEEMS TO BE FAVORED
LOCATION FOR MUCH OF THE EAST TO GET HIGH WINDS.  GIVEN THE TIMING
OF THE UPPER LEVEL WINDS...THE POSITION OF THE SFC LOW...AND THE
EXPECTED CLOUD COVER...FEEL THAT A HIGH END WIND ADVISORY FOR MUCH
OF THE EAST...AS WELL AS PORTIONS OF THE SOUTH...WILL BE A GOOD BET.
HOWEVER...SINCE THAT THERE IS CURRENTLY AN ADVISORY OUT...WILL NOT
CONFUSE THE ISSUE AND LET THE NEXT SHIFT ISSUE A NEW ADVISORY ONCE
THE CURRENT ONE EXPIRES.  HOWEVER...SINCE MID LEVEL WINDS WILL
CONTINUE TO INCREASE TONIGHT...AND KSRR TENDS TO BLOW EARLY AND
OFTEN...HAVE ELECTED TO EXTEND THE WIND ADVISORY FOR ZONES
526-539-540 THROUGH 3AM...THEN CONVERT THE WIND ADVISORY AT 3AM TO A
HIGH WIND WARNING...AND RUN THAT THROUGH 6 PM THURS.

PRECIPITATION WILL CONTINUE ALONG THE BASE OF THE TROUGH INTO EARLY
FRIDAY MORNING...BUT WILL TAPER OFF FRIDAY AFTERNOON.   FRIDAY WILL
STILL BE BREEZY TO WINDY WITH NORTHWESTERLY FLOW.

ZONAL FLOW COMMENCES FOR THE WEEKEND.  LEE SURFACE TROUGH WILL
DEVELOP AND RESULT IN STRONG WINDS.  WINDY DAYS WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH MID WEEK...WHICH MAY RESULT IN SEVERAL ROUND OF CRITICAL
FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS.  SEE THE FIRE WX DISCUSSION FOR MORE
DETAILS.

.AVIATION...
LOCALES EAST OF THE CENTRAL MTN CHAIN WILL BE VFR FOR THE NEXT 24
HOURS. GUSTY SW WINDS TO 35 KTS TODAY ACROSS ALL AREAS WILL SLOWLY
DIMINISH THROUGH 02Z. CLOUDS WILL THICKEN AND LOWER FROM WEST TO
EAST OVERNIGHT AS THE UPPER TROUGH AXIS APPROACHES FROM ARIZONA.
12Z BUFKIT CROSS SECTIONS INDICATED AREAS FROM KSAF AND KABQ WEST
TO KFMN AND KGUP WILL REMAIN VFR AS WELL UNTIL ABOUT 15Z THURSDAY
THEN TOP-DOWN MOISTENING WILL RESULT IN MTN OBSCURATIONS AND LIGHT
TO MODERATE RAIN SHOWERS. A FEW ISOLD STORMS ARE POSSIBLE BY LATE
AFTERNOON ALONG THE ARIZONA BORDER AS COLDER AIR ALOFT INCREASES
INSTABILITY. STRONGER WINDS WILL ADD TO THE MIX ALL AREAS AGAIN
THURSDAY WITH WEST TO SOUTHWEST GUSTS UP TO 50 KTS POSSIBLE...
ESPECIALLY ALONG AND EAST OF THE CENTRAL MTN CHAIN.

NEXT AVIATION DISCUSSION SCHEDULED FOR 09Z. GUYER

.FIRE WEATHER...
CURRENT COVERAGE OF RED FLAG CONDITIONS SOMEWHAT LIMITED EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON BY THICKER HIGH CLOUD COVER THAN PREVIOUSLY EXPECTED. SFC
TEMPS ARE WARMING INTO THE 70S/80S IN MANY AREAS SO THINKING THAT
BY 5 PM COVERAGE WILL BE MORE WIDESPREAD. WILL HOLD ONTO RED FLAGS
THRU 03Z. TOP-DOWN MOISTENING ALREADY TAKING SHAPE OVER CENTRAL AZ
PER EVIDENCED BY LATEST VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY WILL CONTINUE
ADVANCING SLOWLY EASTWARD TOWARD WESTERN NM OVERNIGHT. THUS MIN RH
VALUES WILL TREND HIGHER THAN LAST NIGHT WITH FAIR VALUES EXPECTED
ALONG AND WEST OF THE DIVIDE. INCREASING MOIST SW FLOW OVER THE
HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE SAN JUANS WILL PROVIDE SOME GOOD TO EXCELLENT
RECOVERIES WITH EVEN SOME LIGHT PRECIP.

THE EASTERN PERIPHERY OF THE MID/UPPER LEVEL VORTICITY AXIS WILL
SLIDE EAST THROUGH THE STATE THURSDAY. THIS WILL CREATE SOME LIGHT
QPF ALONG AND WEST OF THE CENTRAL MTN MAINLY THURSDAY MORNING AND
PERHAPS A COUPLE INCHES OF VERY HIGH TERRAIN SNOWFALL. WINDS ALOFT
WILL BE STRONGEST ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF WHERE CONFIDENCE IS HIGH
ENOUGH TO CONVERT CURRENT FIRE WX WATCH TO A RED FLAG WARNING FOR
ZONES 104-108. MODEL GUIDANCE INDICATES WINDS WILL BE STRONGEST
DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THE DAY AHEAD OF THE TROUGH AXIS. A MODEST
COLD FRONT SLIDES SOUTHEAST THRU THE STATE BEHIND THE WAVE FROM
THURSDAY AFTERNOON INTO THURSDAY NIGHT USHERING IN MUCH COLDER AIR
ON BREEZY NW FLOW.

VERY DRY AIR MOVING IN ON NW FLOW FRIDAY MAY CREATE SOME CRITICAL
FIRE WX CONDITIONS FOR AREAS FROM THE SANDIA/MANZANO MTS SOUTHEAST
TOWARD DE BACA AND CHAVES COUNTIES. WILL HOLD OFF ON WATCH AT THIS
TIME SINCE COOLER TEMPS MAY MITIGATE CRITICAL RH VALUES. ZONAL FLOW
WILL DEVELOP SATURDAY AND GRADUALLY INCREASE EACH DAY THROUGH EARLY
NEXT WEEK. CRITICAL FIRE WX CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE AGAIN SUNDAY...
MONDAY...AND TUESDAY AS AN TROUGH SLIDES EAST ACROSS THE CENTRAL
ROCKIES.
