AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
310 PM MDT FRI JUN 11 2010

.DISCUSSION...
CHANGES IN THE WEATHER PATTERN ARE UNDERWAY. STORM SPINNING OVER
NV THIS PM WILL MOVE SLOWLY S TON THEN TURN NE OVER THE WEEKEND.
MEANWHILE A BACK DOOR FRONT HAS INCHED INTO THE FAR NE TODAY AND
KEPT CLAYTON SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW YESTERDAYS RECORD HIGH OF 99.
THIS FRONT WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR
THE UPCOMING WEEKEND AS IT DIPS INTO THE NE AT NIGHT AND DURING
THE AM HOURS...THEN RETREATS BACK N IN THE PM AND EVENING HOURS.
AN ISOLATED SEVERE STORM IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION LATER THIS
PM AND EVENING AND AGAIN EACH PM THIS WEEKEND NEAR THIS FRONT.
WATER VAPOR LOOP SHOWING MID LEVEL MOISTURE MOVING INTO THE NW
NOW AND RADAR SHOWING SOME CELLS FORMING OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN.
EVEN A COUPLE OF LIGHTNING STRIKES. THESE SHOWERS WILL CONTAIN
LITTLE RAIN BUT CAN HAVE GUSTY WINDS.

WITH FALLING HEIGHTS ON SAT AND SUN OVER THE WEST TEMPERATURES
WILL BE NOTICEABLY LOWER. THE EAST WILL REMAIN QUITE WARM...THE
EXCEPTION WILL BE IN THE FAR NE WHERE HIGHS MAY ONLY REACH THE
80S. RATHER TRICKY HIGH TEMPERATURE FORECAST THIS WEEKEND OVER THE
FAR NE AS DEPENDS ON EXACT LOCATION OF THE BACK DOOR FRONT. OF
BIGGER CONCERN WILL BE THE WINDS. WE WILL ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY
FOR MUCH OF THE SW AND CENTRAL AREAS...AND HOIST A RED FLAG
WARNING FOR ALL AREAS. VERY CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER SITUATION FOR
MUCH OF THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY.,.CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AND ONTO THE
EASTERN PLAINS. SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE MORE WIDESPREAD ON SAT
AND SUN. THE NW AND NC AREAS WILL BE IN LINE FOR GENERAL ACTIVITY...
WHILE THE NE AND FAR EC PLAINS WILL LIKELY SEE HEALTHIER STORMS
WITH SOME POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TO SEVERE WEATHER ..ESPECIALLY OVER
THE FAR NE.

THE SLOSHING BACK AND FORTH COLD FRONT IN THE NE WILL FINALLY DIVE
S AND W SUN NIGHT...THUS A NOTICEABLE COOL DOWN MON OVER THE E.
CONVECTION TO CONTINUE OVER THE NC AND E ON MON. WEAK RIDGING IS
FORECAST FOR MUCH OF NEXT WEEK WITH LINGERING MOISTURE TO BE
RECYCLED EACH PM AND EVENING. SW FLOW MAY DEVELOP AGAIN LATER IN
THE WEEK WITH DRIER CONDITIONS POSSIBLE. CHJ

&&

.AVIATION...
A THIN AREA OF LOW CIGS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE FAR NORTHEAST
PLAINS LATER TONIGHT DUE TO A COLD FRONTAL INTRUSION THERE. OTHERWISE
VFR CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA. SOME HIGH BASED
SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE ACROSS THE
NORTHWEST THIRD AS WELL. STRONGER SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE
TODAY BUT THE STRONGER READINGS WITH GUSTS BETWEEN 30 TO 40 KT IS
EXPECTED ON SATURDAY.

NEXT AVIATION DISCUSSION SCHEDULED FOR 09Z. 50

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
GUSTY WINDS ARE BEING RECORDED AT MOST OF THE OBSERVATION SITES
TODAY ALTHOUGH SOME AREAS ARE RECEIVING A LITTLE LIGHTER WIND FLOW
AT THIS TIME TODAY COMPARED TO YESTERDAY. BASED ON THE LATEST MODEL
GUIDANCE...WIND SPEEDS SHOULD PICK UP A BIT MORE LATER THIS
AFTERNOON BEFORE BECOMING LIGHTER AS THE SUN GOES DOWN. REGARDLESS
OF THE MARGINAL RED FLAG WIND CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THE RED FLAG
THROUGH 8 PM. SATURDAY ALWAYS LOOKED TO BE THE STRONGER OF THE 3
WIND DAYS AND THE MODELS HAVENT CHANGED THAT TUNE. THUS WILL UPGRADE
TO A RED FLAG WARNING FOR SATURDAY AS IT LOOKS LIKE A SLAM DUNK CASE
FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE AREA. A FEW EXCEPTIONS LIE ACROSS THE FAR
WEST AND FAR NORTHWEST WHERE MORE ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER AND
COOLER TEMPERATURES WILL MAKE WIND SPEEDS AND RH READINGS MUCH MORE
MARGINAL. THE OTHER EXCEPTION WOULD BE ACROSS THE FAR EAST AND
NORTHEAST DUE TO HIGHER MOISTURE CONSIDERATIONS THERE.

WINDS WILL LESSEN THIS EVENING ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA WITH THE
EXCEPTION BEING ACROSS THE HIGHER RIDGETOPS WHERE STEADIER BREEZES
WILL REMAIN THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. MODELS STILL IN TUNE WITH
DRAGGING A STRONG MID LEVEL JET ACROSS NEW MEXICO STARTING OVER
SOUTHWEST AREAS THIS EVENING AND EXTENDING NORTH AND EASTWARD DURING
THE DAY ON SATURDAY. AS A RESULT...OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES SHOULD
REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL BUT COOL ON SATURDAY...ESPECIALLY WESTERN AREAS.
HUMIDITY RECOVERIES TONIGHT WILL GENERALLY BE POOR TO MODERATE.
LOOKING FOR SOME FAST MOVING DRIER STORMS ACROSS THE NORTHWEST THIRD
AND STARTING TO SEE A FEW CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING STRIKES UP THAT
WAY.

MODELS CONTINUE TO DEPICT A SIGNIFICANT DRY SLOT OVER CENTRAL
PORTIONS OF THE STATE ON SATURDAY. DUE TO ENHANCED SUBSIDENCE FOUND
WITHIN THIS REGION LOWERED HUMIDITY READINGS BELOW GUIDANCE BUT
RAISED HUMIDITIES SLIGHTLY ACROSS THE FAR WEST AND NORTH. WITH THAT
BEING SAID...EXPECTING MINIMUM/S TO FALL GENERALLY BETWEEN 10 TO 15
PERCENT MOST AREAS. AGAIN...EXCEPTION BEING ACROSS THE FAR
WEST/NORTH AND EAST. THE MOST CRITICAL AREAS WITH GUSTS BETWEEN 35
TO 45 MPH WILL BE FOUND ALONG THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY AND ADJACENT
HIGHLANDS ON BOTH SIDES. A BACK DOOR FRONT WILL ALSO BE FOUND ACROSS
THE FAR NORTHEAST CORNER ON SATURDAY. MUCH HIGHER HUMIDITY WITH
POTENTIAL OF WETTING RAIN WILL BE FOUND ALONG THIS BOUNDARY AND LAST
INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

THE ABOVE MENTIONED FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PUSH FURTHER INTO NEW
MEXICO SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. A BATTLE BETWEEN EAST/NORTHEAST
WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT AND WESTERLY WINDS MIXING DOWN FROM ALOFT
WILL OCCUR ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE EASTERN PLAINS ON SUNDAY. AS A
RESULT...LOOK FOR A DYNAMIC CHANGE IN HUMIDITY AS DRIER AIRS PUSHES
IN FROM WEST TO EAST. EVEN WITH COOLER THAN NORMAL
TEMPERATURES...HUMIDITY VALUES WILL FALL INTO THE TEENS. WINDS
APPEAR TO BE MUCH LIGHTER ON SUNDAY VERSUS SATURDAY BUT EXPECT SOME
BREEZINESS ACROSS CENTRAL AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA.
NOT ENOUGH TO WARRANT A FIRE WEATHER WATCH AT THIS TIME AND WOULD
MAINLY IMPACT ZONE 107.

ANOTHER SURGE OF MOISTURE WESTWARD EXPECTED SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY
AS THE DRY LINE BECOMES MUCH MORE DEFINED. HOWEVER....WESTERLIES
ONCE AGAIN WILL DO BATTLE WITH THE LIGHTER EASTERLY FLOWS THUS
ANOTHER DYNAMIC CHANGE IN HUMIDITY IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE EAST.
REGARDLESS...HIGHER HUMIDITY READINGS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE NORTH
AND EAST AS A RESULT OF THE COOLER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND
VARIABLE CLOUD COVER.

MUCH OF THE SAME IS EXPECTED THROUGH NEXT WEEK WITH AN UPPER RIDGE
GRADUALLY BUILDING OVER THE STATE WHILE A SEMI PERMANENT TROUGH SETS
UP TO THE WEST. THE DRYLINE SHOULD BE FAIRLY ACTIVITY DURING THIS
PERIOD WITH WETTER STORMS FORMING ALONG THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN
EASTWARD. A FEW MOISTURE INTRUSIONS ARE EXPECTED WESTWARD BETWEEN
THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY AND CONTINENTAL DIVIDE BUT CONFIDENCE ISNT
GREAT AS FAR AS WHEN THAT WOULD OCCUR. DRIER STORMS WOULD BE FOUND
ALONG THE LEADING EDGE OF THAT MOISTURE PUSH. WE ARE ALSO LOOKING AT
SOME SORT OF BREAK DOWN OF THIS UPPER RIDGE LATER IN THE WEEK
ALTHOUGH THE MODELS HAVE BEEN VERY JUMPY  WITH THEIR DEPICTION OF
THIS BREAK DOWN SO CONFIDENCE IS PRETTY LOW FOR THE LATTER HALF OF
NEXT WEEK. TEMPERATURES WILL GRADUALLY WARM NEXT WEEK BUT NOT
EXPECTING NEAR THE HIGH TEMPERATURES WE OBSERVED THE PREVIOUS WEEK.
THE KEY TO NEXT WEEK WILL BE THE BREAK DOWN PHASE TO THE
PATTERN...LIGHTNING FOLLOWED BY STRONGER SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS COULD
RESULT AND WE WILL KEEP AN EYE ON THAT.
