AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
300 PM MDT FRI JUN 17 2011

...CRITICAL TO EXTREME FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS THIS WEEKEND...

.DISCUSSION...LITTLE TO NO CHANGE IN THE FORECAST FOR THE WEEKEND.
INCREASINGLY WINDY WEATHER SATURDAY WESTERN AND EASTERN
THIRDS...EXPANDING ACROSS ALL OF NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NEW MEXICO
SUNDAY.

BAND OF MID LEVEL MOISTURE AND INSTAB STRETCHED ACROSS NW AZ AND
INTO SW CO CONTINUES TO ADVANCE EASTWARD THIS AFTERNOON. MOST OF THE
LIGHTNING SO FAR HAS BEEN CONFINED TO CENTRAL CO...BUT NOT OUT OF
THE QUESTION THERE COULD BE ISOLD VIRGA BOMBS/LIGHTNING NEAR THE CO
BORDER AT LEAST THIS EVENING. IN THE FAR NORTHEAST...THE HIGHER
DEWPOINTS THAT MOVED IN OVERNIGHT HAVE NOT YET SCOURED OUT...AND
LATEST RUC INDICATES THAT IT WON/T. SOME BUILDUPS NOTED ON IMAGERY
NEAR RATON PASS...SO EXTENDED THE SLGT CHC DRY SHRA/TSTMS TOWARDS
DES MOINES/CAPULIN THIS EVENING.

SURFACE BOUNDARY STILL SHOWN TO PLUNGE FARTHER SOUTH INTO THE
PLAINS TONIGHT. INCREASED AREAL COVERAGE OF SLGT CHC POPS SATURDAY
AFTERNOON IN THE NORTHEAST...BUT STILL MOSTLY DRY CONVECTION
EXPECTED. INSTAB AND MOISTURE DECREASES INTO SATURDAY
EVENING/OVERNIGHT AS MAIN TROUGH AXIS SWINGS INTO GREAT BASIN AND
SURFACE LOW INTENSIFIES OVER SE CO.

BY LATE SATURDAY NIGHT...ANY LINGERING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE SHOULD BE
SWEPT OUT OF THE STATE. HOWEVER...SOME MID LEVEL MOISTURE MAY RESULT
IN A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR DRY CONVECTION OVER THE SOUTH CENTRAL
MOUNTAINS SATURDAY NIGHT...AND OVER THE FAR NORTHWEST GOING INTO
SUNDAY.

MANY AREAS COULD REACH WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA ON SUNDAY...AND WILL
BE COUPLED WITH NEAR RECORD HIGHS...AT LEAST IN THE EAST. SOME
ISOLATED HIGH WINDS...SUSTAINED SPEEDS OF 40 MPH OR GUSTS TO NEAR 60
MPH...ARE POSSIBLE. STRONG WINDS NOW LOOK TO PERSIST SUNDAY NIGHT
AND INTO MONDAY...ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTHEAST QUARTER OF THE STATE.
BOTH GFS/NAM CLOSE OFF THE SYSTEM AND SEEM TO TRACK IT A LITTLE
FARTHER SOUTH ON MONDAY/MONDAY NIGHT.  NORTHWEST WINDS ALOFT MAY
KEEP HIGH TEMPERATURES A LITTLE COOLER GOING INTO TUESDAY AND EVEN
WEDNESDAY...WHILE A SURFACE FRONT BRINGS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TO THE
EASTERN PLAINS. GFS SHOWS THIS TO SPARK CONVECTION WEDNESDAY INTO
THURSDAY...BUT DEPICTS ANOTHER ROUND OF DRIER WESTERLIES DOMINATING
INTO THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION...BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS MUCH OF
THE STATE THIS AFTERNOON. SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 15 TO 25 KT WITH GUSTS
TO 35KT WILL BE COMMON THROUGH APPROX 02Z.  EXCEPTION WILL BE ACROSS
FAR NE NM WHERE BACK DOOR FRONT HAS NUDGED INTO THE STATE.  HIGHER
MOISTURE LEVELS IN THIS AREA COULD ALLOW FOR A FEW HIGH BASED
SHOWERS WITH DRY MICROBURSTS THIS AFTN AND EVE. GUSTS MAY REACH 50KT
WITH ANY MICROBURST. BACK DOOR FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO SLIDE ACROSS
THE NE PLAINS OVERNIGHT.  LOCALIZED IFR TO MVFR CIGS ARE POSSIBLE
BEHIND THE FRONT...GENERALLY BETWEEN 09Z AND 15Z SAT. WIND SPEEDS
WILL RAMP UP AGAIN LATE SAT MORNING...WITH SPEEDS AGAIN REACHING 15
TO 25KT WITH GUSTS TO 35KT BY THE AFTERNOON. A FEW HIGH BASED
SHOWERS WITH GUSTY WINDS WILL AGAIN BE POSSIBLE ACROSS NE NM SAT
AFTN.  SMOKE WILL CONTINUE TO BE A CONCERN ACROSS CATRON COUNTY THIS
EVENING..OVERNIGHT AND THROUGH SATURDAY. DENSEST SMOKE WILL BE
AROUND LUNA AND QUEMADO WHERE VSBYS MAY BE REDUCED TO 4 MILES OR
LESS.

NEXT AVIATION DISCUSSION SCHEDULED FOR 09Z.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...THE SIGNIFICANT CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER PATTERN WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH AT LEAST MONDAY. SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL CONTINUE
ACROSS THE STATE AS AN UPPER LEVEL LOW DIGS ACROSS THE GREAT BASIN.
THIS LOW WILL FINALLY SHIFT EAST ACROSS COLORADO ON
MONDAY...RESULTING IN WINDS BECOMING MORE WESTERLY. RED FLAG
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...AND IT IS LOOKING
INCREASINGLY LIKELY THAT CONDITIONS WILL BE MET ON MONDAY ACROSS THE
EASTERN PLAINS.

BACK DOOR FRONT NUDGED INTO THE NORTHEAST THIS MORNING...INCREASING
DEWPOINTS INTO THE 40S BEHIND IT. SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS SOME
BUBBLING CUMULUS CLOUDS ACROSS THE RATON RIDGE. ITS POSSIBLE FOR AN
ISOLATED SHOWER THIS AFTERNOON...WHERE THE MAIN THREAT WOULD BE
GUSTY DRY MICROBURST WINDS...PERHAPS IN EXCESS OF 50 MPH.
ELSEWHERE...HOT...BREEZY AND VERY DRY CONDITIONS CONTINUE WITH
RELATIVE HUMIDITIES IN THE SINGLE DIGITS. THIS BACK DOOR FRONT WILL
SLOWLY SLIDE SOUTH ACROSS THE NORTHEAST PLAINS OVERNIGHT.  RELATIVE
HUMIDITIES ARE EXPECTED TO BE GOOD BEHIND IT...WHILE POOR RELATIVE
HUMIDITY RECOVERIES ARE EXPECTED ELSEWHERE.

STRONG MIXING OF SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS DOWN TO THE SURFACE ON SATURDAY
WILL QUICKLY MIX THE FRONT OUT...THROUGH PERHAPS NOT BEFORE A FEW
HIGH BASED SHOWERS WITH GUSTY WINDS FORM. OTHERWISE SATURDAY WILL BE
CHARACTERIZED BY HIGH HAINES...BREEZY WINDS AND SINGLE DIGIT
HUMIDITIES ONCE AGAIN. WILL UPGRADE THE RED FLAG WARNING FOR ALL
AREAS...THOUGH WIND SPEEDS WILL LIKELY BE MARGINAL ACROSS ZONES
101...102 AND 106.  GIVEN THE HIGH FIRE DANGER...FELT IT PRUDENT TO
UPGRADE.

FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ON SUNDAY WILL BE THE WORST OF THE NEXT 3
DAYS. THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL APPROACH THE FOUR CORNERS
AREA...TIGHTENING THE GRADIENT ALOFT WHILE THE SURFACE LOW ACROSS
SOUTHEAST COLORADO STRENGTHENS TO 992 MB.  WINDS SPEEDS WILL BE
AROUND 25 TO 35 MPH WITH GUSTS NEAR 50 MPH OR BETTER.
MEANWHILE...MUCH OF THE EAST WILL BE NEARING RECORD HIGH
TEMPERATURES THUS RESULTING IN HUMIDITIES BELOW 10 PERCENT. EXTREME
FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS. IT
SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT PORTIONS OF THE EASTERN PLAINS MAY
EXPERIENCE RED FLAG CONDITIONS THROUGH MIDNIGHT OR 1 AM.

MONDAY LOOKS TO REMAIN WINDY...ESPECIALLY ACROSS EASTERN NEW
MEXICO.  LATER SHIFTS WILL LIKELY NEED TO ISSUE A FIRE WEATHER
WATCH. WILL FINALLY SEE SOME RELIEF FROM THE WINDS ON TUESDAY AS THE
UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL HAVE FINALLY MOVED INTO THE GREAT PLAINS AND
WEAKER NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ENSUES. ASSOCIATED BACK DOOR FRONT WILL
SLIDE ACROSS THE PLAINS ON TUESDAY...AND AS THE WINDS VEER BACK
AROUND TO THE SOUTHEAST...SOME GULF MOISTURE WILL LIKELY BE PULLED
UP INTO SOUTHERN AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA WED AND THURS.
SHOULD STORMS DEVELOP...LIGHTNING WILL BECOME AN INCREASING CONCERN
DURING THE MID TO LATTER HALF OF THE WORK WEEK.
