The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this tornado warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this tornado warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Albuquerque, NM wrote its last area forecast discussion before this tornado warning went out at May 25, 3:04 PM MDT, 1 hour 39 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 25, 3:04 PM MDT, 1 hour 39 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
304 PM MDT TUE MAY 25 2010

...SOME THUNDERSTORMS MAY TURN SEVERE ON THE EAST CENTRAL AND
SOUTHEAST PLAINS EARLY THIS EVENING...

.DISCUSSION...
SLUGGISH UPPER LOW OVER THE PACIFIC WILL MOVE EVER SO SLOWLY TOWARD THE
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA COASTLINE...THEN CROSS ON SHORE THURSDAY OR
THURSDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL DRAW LOW LEVEL MOISTURE INTO NEW MEXICO
FROM THE SOUTHEAST AS A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT STRENGTHENS
OVER WEST TEXAS. NOCTURNAL EAST WINDS WILL BECOME BREEZY BELOW
CANYONS OPENING INTO THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY EACH NIGHT FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE WEEK...AND MOISTURE WILL ALSO BE TRANSPORTED UP
THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY OUT OF THE SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST DURING THE
DAYTIME...TRANSPORTING THE MOISTURE TO THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE AND
REACHING AS FAR WEST AS THE CHUSKA MOUNTAINS BY THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY. THE END RESULT WILL BE DAILY ROUNDS OF ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FAVORING AREAS ALONG AND EAST
OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN THIS EVENING...THEN SPREADING WESTWARD
WITH THE MOISTURE PUSH OVER THE COURSE OF THE WEEK. A RETROGRADING
DRY LINE MAY HELP SOME THUNDERSTORMS TURN SEVERE ON THE EAST
CENTRAL AND SE PLAINS EARLY THIS EVENING...WHERE SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WATCH NUMBER 222 IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM. WEDNESDAY
AND THURSDAY THE BEST CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION WILL BE FOUND IN
THE MOUNTAINS EAST OF THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE AND ALONG THE EAST
SLOPES OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN AS THE STEERING FLOW SENDS
ACTIVITY TO THE NORTH NORTHEAST.

BY FRIDAY MOISTURE WILL BEGIN TO DECREASE FROM THE SOUTH AS THE
UPPER LOW MOVES THROUGH NEVADA AND AN INCREASING NUMBER OF
SHORTWAVES DRIVE THROUGH WESTERN NM IN STRENGTHENING SW FLOW
ALOFT. THIS PATTERN WILL PRODUCE A LAST HURRAH OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE EAST SLOPES OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN
WESTWARD TO THE AZ BORDER...WITH THE BEST CHANCE FOR PRECIP IN THE
NORTHERN MOUNTAINS FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT.

ALSO THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK WEEK LOOK FOR A WARMING TREND
WITH HIGHS REACHING A FEW TO SEVERAL DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL BY
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

THE WEEKEND AHEAD CALLS FOR BREEZIER CONDITIONS AS THE UPPER LOW
CROSSES THE CENTRAL ROCKIES. DRIER AIR SHOULD PUSH THROUGH THE
STATE WITH A PACIFIC COOL FRONT SATURDAY AND SATURDAY
NIGHT...RAPIDLY DECREASING THE CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION.

44

&&

.AVIATION...
DRYLINE HAS STALLED BUT IS EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY BACK INTO MORE OF
NEW MEXICO OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS...ESPECIALLY TONIGHT.
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED STORMS WILL FORM ALONG THIS BOUNDARY AND WOULD
REDUCE LOCAL CONDITIONS DOWN TO MVFR AND PERHAPS A SHORT DURATION
IFR. AS THE OVERNIGHT PROGRESSES...MOISTURE WILL PUSH NORTH AND
WESTWARD AND EVENTUALLY ABUT UP TO THE CENTRAL MTN CHAIN. LOW CLOUDS
SHOULD BE EXPANSIVE ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS AND HAVE NOTED THIS AT
LVS...ROW AND TCC. IFR AND PERHAPS LIFR WOULD OCCUR WITHIN THE
INTENSE RAINSHAFTS OF THE INDIVIDUAL CELLS. MODERATE GAP WINDS ALONG
THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN ARE EXPECTED WEDNESDAY MORNING BUT
SHOULDNT PRODUCE GUSTS GREATER OR EQUAL TO 35 KT. ANOTHER ROUND OF
STORMS WILL FORM ALONG AND TO THE EAST OF THE DRYLINE ON WEDNESDAY.
ESPECIALLY FAVORING THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS.

NEXT AVIATION DISCUSSION SCHEDULED FOR 09Z. 50

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES WERE NOT MADE TO THE INHERITED GRIDDED
FORECAST. SOME UNCERTAINTY STILL EXISTS ON HOW MUCH DRYING AND HOW
MUCH WIND WOULD OCCUR DURING THE UPCOMING WEEKEND BUT
OTHERWISE...CONFIDENCE IS HIGH THAT MOISTURE WILL SURGE WESTWARD
OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

FOR THE REST OF TODAY...LOOK FOR A VERY DRY AIRMASS TO REMAIN IN
PLACE OVER MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA. THE DRYLINE IS CURRENTLY FOUND
ACROSS FAR SOUTHEAST AND EAST CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA
AND WILL GRADUALLY BACK FURTHER INTO NEW MEXICO OVER THE NEXT
SEVERAL HOURS. THE ATMOSPHERE WILL ALSO REMAIN VERY UNSTABLE ACROSS
THE WESTERN THREE QUARTERS OF THE FORECAST AREA.

AS FAR AS TONIGHT...LOOK FOR A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT MOISTURE SURGE VIA
THE DRYLINE ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS. THIS MOISTURE SURGE WILL
REACH THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AND CREATE SOME SORT OF MODERATE GAP
WIND ALONG IT WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE MOISTURE SURGING INTO THE RIO
GRANDE VALLEY WILL INITIALLY BE PRETTY SHALLOW SO THE MAIN STORM
LINE LATER ON WEDNESDAY SHOULD BE FOUND ALONG AND JUST TO THE EAST
OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS. WETTING RAIN WILL BE FOUND WITHIN THOSE
STORMS BUT THE FURTHER WEST YOU GO...THE MOISTURE WILL BE SHALLOWER
AND THE FOOTPRINT OF WETTING RAIN WILL BE LESS. STORMS ON WEDNESDAY
WILL TEND TO MOVE FROM SOUTH TO NORTH OR SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST.
SINGLE DIGIT HUMIDITY WILL ONCE AGAIN BE FOUND ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA BUT THE AREA WILL BE LESS BASED ON WHAT WAS OBSERVED TODAY. THE
SINGLE DIGIT AREA WILL GENERALLY BE FOUND ALONG AND TO THE WEST OF
THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE. THE ATMOSPHERE WILL ALSO REMAIN PRETTY
UNSTABLE ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF...ESPECIALLY NORTHWEST AREAS.

THE MOISTURE WILL SURGE FURTHER WEST WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND MAKE IT TO
AT LEAST THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE AND A LITTLE BEYOND. THIS WILL
INCREASE HUMIDITY RECOVERIES TO THE GOOD OR EXCELLENT CATEGORY MOST
AREAS...MODERATE TO POOR WEST OF THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE. THIS
DRYLINE WILL GRADUALLY MIX BACK TO THE EAST DURING THE DAY ON
THURSDAY BUT HUMIDITY READINGS WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE 20S AND 30S
DURING THE PEAK HEATING PERIOD. TEENS TO SINGLE DIGITS ALONG THE
ARIZONA STATE LINE. WETTER STORMS WILL BE FOUND EAST OF THE
CONTINENTAL DIVIDE WHILE THE FOOTPRINT OF WETTING RAIN WILL BE MUCH
SMALLER ALONG THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE WITH DRIER STORMS WEST OF THE
CONTINENTAL DIVIDE. A VERY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE WILL REMAIN OVER THE
WESTERN THIRD OR SO ON THURSDAY.

ABUNDANT MOISTURE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE OVER MOST OF THE FORECAST
AREA ON FRIDAY...THUS MIN RH VALUES SHOULD BE IN THE 20S AND 30S
DURING THE PEAK HEATING PERIOD. ANOTHER ROUND OF WETTER STORMS WILL
REMAIN.

MOISTURE TRAPPED UNDERNEATH THE UPPER RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO GET
MIXED BACK TO THE EAST SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AS THE UPPER TROUGH
MOVES INLAND AND SHEARS OUT ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN ROCKIES.
THE QUESTION REMAINS IN THE STRENGTH OF THIS BREAK DOWN OF THE UPPER
RIDGE AND HOW MUCH WIND AND DRYNESS WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH IT. I
BACKED OFF A LITTLE ON THE DRYNESS FOR SATURDAY AND WE WILL CONTINUE
TO MONITOR THE WEATHER MODELS AS THIS COULD BE A CRITICAL FIRE
WEATHER GROWING PERIOD.
