AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
316 AM MDT THU JUN 16 2011

CORRECTED TYPO 2ND PARAGRAPH.

.DISCUSSION...

...SIGNIFICANT/LONG-DURATION CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER BECOMING
ESTABLISHED TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY...
...RECORD OR NEAR-RECORD HEAT CENTRAL AND EAST TODAY...

VERY RARE INDEED TO HIGHLIGHT SIGNIFICANT WINDS AND THE SUMMER
SOLSTICE IN THE SAME FORECAST CYCLE. BUT ALAS...OUR BIG WIND
SEASON JUST CONTINUES TO PERSIST. UNFORTUNATELY A SIGNIFICANT AND
EXTENDED FIRE WEATHER GROWTH PERIOD THAT COMMENCES TODAY DOES NOT
LOOK TO PEAK UNTIL THIS WEEKEND. MORE ON FIRE WEATHER BELOW.

LOOKING BACK AT THE PAST 12 HOURS OR SO... SUBTLE INCREASE IN UPPER
MID- LEVEL MOISTURE OVER CENTRAL/WRN NM LATE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON
AND EVENING COUPLED WITH AN IMPRESSIVELY DEEP BOUNDARY LAYER AND
VERY STEEP LAPSE RATES GENERATED A BIT MORE HIGH-BASED CUMULUS
OVER THE HIGH TERRAIN YESTERDAY AS COMPARED TO RECENT DAYS. AN
ISOLATED THUNDER- VIRGA STORM WAS OBSERVED JUST EAST OF GRANTS
WEDNESDAY EVENING THAT PRODUCED A 57 MPH WIND GUST AT THE LAGUNA
RAWS. THIS POCKET OF MID-LEVEL MOISTURE/INSTABILITY OVER NERN NM
EARLY THIS MORNING WILL BE WELL NORTHEAST OF OUR AREA BY MIDDAY.

MEANWHILE...WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWING THE NORTHERN FRINGES OF A
DIFFUSE PLUME OF MID-LEVEL MOISTURE GRADUALLY BOWING NWD FROM
NORTHERN MEXICO. MODELS SIMILAR IN DEFLECTING THE BULK OF THIS MID-
LEVEL MOISTENING SOUTH OF OUR AREA NEXT 24-36 HOURS AS MID-LEVEL FLOW
GRADUALLY VEERS MORE W-SWLY AS ONE SHORTWAVE TROUGH SWINGS THROUGH
THE CENTRAL/NORTHERN ROCKIES. PERUSAL OF BUFKIT FCST SOUNDINGS
AND MODEL RH PROGS SUGGESTS THE POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED VIRGA BOMBS
IS SLIGHTLY LESS THAN WEDNESDAY...BUT CERTAINLY CANNOT RULE THEM
OUT ESPECIALLY OVER NW/CENTRAL AREAS LATE TODAY WHERE LAPSE RATES
WILL AGAIN BE THE STEEPEST. INTERESTING THAT THE GFS/NAM TARGET
AREAS JUST EAST OF ABQ. GIVEN VERY LOW CONFIDENCE ON WHERE AND
WHEN...WILL NOT INCLUDE A MENTION OF VIRGA IN THE WEATHER GRIDS
BUT SOMETHING TO MONITOR. OTHERWISE...PLENTY OF SUNSHINE EXPECTED WITH
VERY WARM TO HOT TEMPS AGAIN EXPECTED AREAWIDE. WINDS WILL ALSO
BE NOTICEABLY STRONGER TODAY...ESPECIALLY ON THE EASTERN PLAINS AND ACROSS THE
NORTHEAST QUARTER...WITH BREEZY/WINDY CONDITIONS AREAWIDE.

DIMINISHING WINDS TONIGHT...SAVE FOR THE EAST SLOPE AND NE/EC
ZONES WHERE SURFACE GRADIENTS ACTUALLY FAVORABLE FOR LINGERING
BREEZINESS THROUGH THE NIGHT. BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS ON FRIDAY LOOK
TO BE SLIGHTLY LESS THAN TODAY AS OVERALL GRADIENTS NEAR/BELOW 500
MB RELAX EVER SO SLIGHTLY. AGAIN...ISOLATED VIRGA BOMBS NOT OUT OF
THE QUESTION LATE FRI AFTERNOON AND EVENING ESPECIALLY IN A
CORRIDOR FROM CENTRAL TO NC/NW WHERE LAPSE RATES WILL BE STEEPEST.
MAX TEMPS FOR THE EC AND SE PLAINS WILL APPROACH IF NOT EXCEED
PREVIOUS RECORDS NEXT TWO DAYS WHERE READINGS OF 105-110F
EXPECTED. AS MENTIONED YESTERDAY...THE VERY DRY BOUNDARY LAYER
ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST WILL YIELD HEAT INDICES IN THE 95-100F RANGE
THUS PRECLUDING HEAT HIGHLIGHTS.

WEAK BACKDOOR COLD FRONT TO FLIRT WITH THE NORTHEAST CORNER LATE
FRIDAY AFTERNOON OOZING SOUTHWARD INTO OUR NORTHEAST ZONES FRIDAY
NIGHT. NOT A LOT OF CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY EXPECTED OVER SERN COLO TO
STRENGTHEN THE SOUTHWARD PUSH...SO IMPACT MINIMAL BUT ASSOCIATED
WIND SHIFT MAY IMPACT THE TRACK FIRE AREA.

NEXT UPSTREAM SHORTWAVE TROUGH DROPS INTO THE PACNW EARLY IN THE
WEEKEND... THEN CONTINUES SEWD INTO THE GREAT BASIN SATURDAY NIGHT
INTO SUNDAY. THIS WILL BE A MORE SIGNIFICANT WAVE THAT WILL BRING
A RETURN TO STRENGTHENING SWLY FLOW FOR THE WEEKEND...WITH SUNDAY
STILL LOOKING TO BE THE WINDIEST DAY WITH POSSIBLE ADVISORIES.
WILL ALSO NEED TO CLOSELY MONITOR MID- LEVEL MOISTURE ADVECTION
TRENDS ACROSS SOUTHERN AREAS FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY...AS
SLIGHT BACKING OF FLOW AT MID-LEVELS COULD BE JUST ENOUGH TO BRING
SOME MID LEVEL MOISTURE NORTH. OTHERWISE...FOCUS FOR ANY SHRA/TSRA
WILL BE NEAR THE COLO BORDER.

HAVE BEEN FAVORING THE ECMWF OF LATE...WHICH MAINTAINS A SHARPER
TROUGH AS IT CROSSES THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN ROCKIES SUNDAY NIGHT
INTO MONDAY. GFS NOW TRENDING THAT DIRECTION...ALBEIT SLIGHTLY
FASTER.  VEERING PROFILES WILL SHUNT ANY MID LEVEL MOISTURE THAT
ADVECTS INTO OUR SOUTHERN AREAS EAST BY MONDAY WITH THE FOCUS FOR
ANY SHRA/TSRA ACROSS THE FAR NORTH BENEATH /BELIEVE IT OR NOT/ A
RESPECTABLE CYCLONIC WESTERLY FLOW. WHAT WILL BE MOST INTERESTING
DURING THE EXTENDED PERIODS WILL BE A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT THAT
PRESSES SOUTH BEHIND THE DEPARTING TROUGH LATE MONDAY INTO
TUESDAY. THIS WILL SET UP A POTENTIALLY ACTIVE PERIOD ON THE
EASTERN PLAINS FOR NEXT WEEK. POSSIBLE GAP WINDS...LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE INTRUSIONS INTO THE WEST??? TIME WILL TELL. KJ

&&

.AVIATION...
WSW WINDS WILL STRENGTHEN TODAY WITH GUSTS 25-35 KT DURING AFTN THRU EARLY
EVE. THIS COULD CAUSE FIRE FLARE UPS AND ENHANCE SMOKE PLUMES WITH
LCL MVFR CIG/VSBY AND MTN OBSCURATION NE OF FIRES. POSSIBLE IMPACTS
AT KONM AND KE80...ESPECIALLY 00-06Z.

NEXT AVIATION DISCUSSION SCHEDULED FOR 21Z. 44

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
TODAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND THE LONGWAVE PATTERN WILL FEATURE A
PERSISTENT UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE GREAT BASIN...AND THIS WILL
RESULT IN A FIRE GROWING PATTERN FOR NEW MEXICO. MULTIPLE SHORTWAVE
TROUGHS WILL MOVE THROUGH THE LONG WAVE TROUGH STRENGTHENING WINDS
OVER NM WHILE SURFACE HUMIDITIES REMAIN CRITICALLY LOW. FURTHER...A
PERSISTENT SURFACE TROUGH WILL ESTABLISH IN THE LEE OF THE
SOUTHERN ROCKIES...HELPING WINDS TO BLOW. ONE OF THE SHARPER
SHORTWAVE TROUGHS WILL CROSS THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL ROCKIES
TODAY...BRINGING STRONGER WINDS THAN PREVIOUSLY EXPECTED TO THE NW
PLATEAU AND NORTH CENTRAL MOUNTAINS. THUS...THE NW PLATEAU AND TAOS
COUNTY HAVE BEEN ADDED TO TODAYS RED FLAG WARNING. THIS MORNING WE
ARE ALSO UPGRADING FRIDAYS FIRE WEATHER WATCH TO A RED FLAG WARNING.
THAT SAID...IN THE WAKE OF TODAYS SHARPER TROUGH...FRIDAYS WINDS
SHOULD BE A LITTLE WEAKER THAN TODAYS WINDS...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE
CO BORDER.  ANOTHER SHARPER TROUGH WILL DIG INTO THE GREAT BASIN
SATURDAY AND CROSS THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN ROCKIES SUNDAY. THIS
WILL STEER THE POLAR JET OVER NM SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...AND THE SPEED
MAX ALOFT MAY LINGER OVER EASTERN NM MONDAY AS THE UPPER TROUGH
GRADUALLY EXITS INTO THE UPPER GREAT PLAINS. THE NET RESULT SHOULD
BE WIDESPREAD CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY...AND ONE LAST DAY OF LESSER BUT STILL CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS ON THE EASTERN PLAINS MONDAY. THE FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR
SATURDAY HAS BEEN EXPANDED IN COVERAGE TO INCLUDE ALL ZONES. PARTS
OF THE FORECAST AREA WILL ALSO ENDURE POOR OVERNIGHT HUMIDITY
RECOVERIES TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT.

AFTER HIGH TEMPERATURES NEAR TO 5 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL IN THE WEST
TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY...AND READINGS AS MUCH AS 14 DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL IN THE EAST...TEMPERATURES WILL TREND DOWNWARD SUNDAY THROUGH
THE FIRST HALF OF THE COMING WORK WEEK. DURING THIS PERIOD THE
LONGWAVE TROUGH WILL SHIFT EASTWARD TO THE UPPER GREAT PLAINS. AS A
RESULT...SURFACE WIND DIRECTIONS WILL SHIFT OUT OF THE NW BY MONDAY.
A STRONGER BACK DOOR COLD FRONT IS THEN EXPECTED TO DROP THROUGH THE
PLAINS MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY BRINGING HIGHER HUMIDITIES.
THUNDERSTORM AND WETTING PRECIP CHANCES WILL IMPROVE ALONG AND EAST
OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...AS NW FLOW
ALOFT GRADUALLY SHIFTS MORE WESTERLY.
