URGENT - FIRE WEATHER MESSAGE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
629 AM MDT SUN JUN 26 2011

...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM MDT TO 7 PM MDT FOR ALL
OF CENTRAL AND NORTHERN NEW MEXICO EXCLUDING THE MIDDLE AND LOWER
RIO GRANDE VALLEY FOR STRONG WINDS AND LOW HUMIDITIES...

.A DEEPENING SURFACE LOW NEAR THE OKLAHOMA AND TEXAS PANHANDLE
WILL AID IN TIGHTENING THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT TODAY. THIS
WILL LEAD TO CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS FROM LATE MORNING
THROUGH EARLY EVENING. EXTREMELY DRY HUMIDITY VALUES NEAR 5
PERCENT COUPLED WITH HAINES INDICES OF 6 AND RECORD HEAT WILL MAKE
FOR POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONDITIONS OVER THE EAST CENTRAL AND
SOUTHEAST PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON. IN ADDITION...A FEW HIGH BASED
DRY THUNDERSTORMS COULD DEVELOP OVER THE CENTRAL HIGH TERRAIN
LATER THIS AFTERNOON...POSING A THREAT FOR DOWNBURST WINDS AND DRY
LIGHTNING. HUMIDITIES WILL GRADUALLY RECOVER AND WINDS SUBSIDE
DURING THE EARLY EVENING HOURS.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
319 AM MDT SAT JUN 25 2011

...HOT CONDITIONS CONTINUING ACROSS MOST OF NEW MEXICO...

.DISCUSSION...STRENGTH OF THE UPPER HIGH IS CURRENTLY FLUCTUATING
BETWEEN 592 TO 595 DAM AS IT INCHES EAST OF THE EL PASO VICINITY.
PERSISTENCE PATTERN WILL CONTINUE TODAY WITH DRY AND VERY HOT
CONDITIONS. TRIPLE DIGIT TEMPERATURES WILL BE MET WITH EASE TODAY
IN THE EAST...AND SOME CENTRAL VALLEY SITES WILL ALSO REACH THE
CENTURY MARK. SURFACE LOW IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE AS STRONG OR AS
CONCENTRICALLY WRAPPED UP IN THE NORTHEAST THIS AFTERNOON...AND
THIS SHOULD ALLOW BREEZES TO BE A BIT LESS THAN WAS OBSERVED
YESTERDAY. STILL SOME MODERATE BREEZES WILL DEVELOP WITH STRONGEST
WINDS OBSERVED IN THE CENTRAL HIGHLANDS AND ADJACENT HIGH PLAINS.
WOULD ANTICIPATE SOME HIGH BASED CUMULUS TO DEVELOP OVER THE HIGH
TERRAIN...BUT IT IS DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT THE EXTENT GIVEN DRY AIR
ENTRAINMENT IN SUCH HIGH MIXING HEIGHTS AND DRY/HOT BOUNDARY LAYER
CONDITIONS.

HAVE CONTINUED MENTION OF DRY THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST FOR
SUNDAY...GENERALLY ALONG THE HIGH TERRAIN. AGAIN VERY DEEP MIXING
AND DRY SUB-CLOUD LAYER SHOULD MAKE IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR ANY
RAINDROPS TO REACH THE SURFACE...BUT REGARDLESS GFS CONTINUES TO
BOAST GOOD SLUG OF H5 MOISTURE WHERE LIFTING CONDENSATION LEVELS
WILL BE. GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS AND DRY LIGHTNING WILL BE A
CONCERN...AS WILL THE TRIPLE DIGIT HEAT THAT WILL CONTINUE TO
PLAGUE MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA. ALSO...THE SURFACE LOW OVER THE
NORTHEAST IS EXPECTED TO STRENGTHEN SOME WITH THE NAM BEING THE
MORE BULLISH MODEL. THIS SHOULD INDUCE SOME STRONGER PREVAILING
WINDS...CREATING CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS.

SUNDAY NIGHT THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TRIES TO CREEP INTO THE
SOUTHEASTERN PLAINS OF THE STATE...BUT IT LOOKS TO QUICKLY MIX OUT
MONDAY. BY MONDAY AFTERNOON...THE SURFACE LOW IN THE NORTHEAST
WILL GIVE WAY TO THE SEMI-PERMANENT BACK DOOR FRONT THAT HAS BEEN
RESIDING JUST NORTHEAST OF UNION COUNTY THE PAST FEW DAYS. NEGLIGIBLE
TEMPERATURE RELIEF IS EXPECTED IN THE NORTHEAST...BUT AN UPSLOPE
COMPONENT INTO UNION AND COLFAX COUNTIES WILL ARRIVE WITH
INCREASED DEWPOINTS. THIS COULD FUEL SOME THUNDERSTORMS IN THE
NORTHEAST MONDAY AFTERNOON/NIGHT. BOTH THE NAM AND GFS ARE
SUPPORTING THIS OUTBREAK OF QPF...BUT HAVE OPTED NOT TO GO ANY
HIGHER THAN 20 PERCENT POPS AS THIS SCENARIO SEEMS TO BE
FREQUENTLY OVER-FORECASTED BY MODELS. OTHERWISE HOT CONDITIONS
WILL REMAIN IN PLACE WITH SOME DRY THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING OVER
THE HIGH TERRAIN AGAIN AS THE HIGH BROADENS...BUT CONTINUES TO
KEEP A SOLID GRIP OVER NEW MEXICO.

THE HIGH CENTER SHIFTS EAST TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK...ALLOWING FOR SLIGHT CHANCE OF MOSTLY DRY AND HIGH BASED
STORMS OVER THE HIGH TERRAIN. THE GFS HAS BECOME A BIT STRONGER
WITH THE UPPER LOW MOVING INTO THE WESTERN STATES BY LATE
WEDNESDAY. THIS COULD OFFER A PSEUDO SQUEEZE PLAY FOR NEW MEXICO
AS SOME BETTER ESTABLISHED SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE ADVECTS NORTHWARD
BETWEEN THE TROUGH TO THE WEST AND THE STOUT HIGH TO THE EAST.

52

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED ACROSS ALL OF NEW MEXICO
THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS. SMOKE FROM THE WALLOW AND PACHECO FIRES
MAY CAUSE LOCALIZED VSBY RESTRICTIONS OVER SW CATRON COUNTY AND A
LITTLE EAST AND SOUTH OF THE PACHECO FIRE.

NEXT AVIATION DISCUSSION SCHEDULED FOR 21Z. KW

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...POOR OVERNIGHT RECOVERIES WERE IN PLACE EARLY THIS
MORNING...MUCH THE SAME AS THE PAST FEW MORNINGS. THIS WILL ONLY
LEAD TO ANOTHER DAY OF EXTREMELY DRY HUMIDITIES ALTHOUGH WINDS ARE
NOT EXPECTED TO BE AS STRONG. WE DO EXPECT AN HOUR OR TWO OF
CRITICAL CONDITIONS MAINLY OVER THE CENTRAL AND POSSIBLY SOME OF
THE NORTHEAST HIGHLANDS BUT NOT WIDESPREAD ENOUGH TO WARRANT A RED
FLAG WARNING. HAINES INDICES WILL APPROACH 6 AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON
ALONG WITH NEAR RECORD TO RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES ALONG AND EAST
OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN. TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE EASTERN
PLAINS WILL LIKELY REMAIN SOME 15 TO 20 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL AND
EASILY PUSHING THE 105 TO 110 DEGREE MARK WITH SINGLE DIGIT
HUMIDITIES ONCE AGAIN.

EXPECT POOR TO FAIR HUMIDITY RECOVERIES OVERNIGHT SATURDAY INTO
SUNDAY FOR MOST LOCALES EXCEPT THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS WHERE SHALLOW
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO STREAM UP FROM WEST TEXAS. WE
FAVORED THE NAM-WRF 700MB WINDS AND SURFACE PRESSURE PATTERN AS IT
HANDLED FRIDAYS LOW BETTER THAN THE GFS. THEREFORE...WE EXPECT A
MORE WIDESPREAD AREA OF CRITICAL CONDITIONS. WE WILL HOIST A FIRE
WEATHER WATCH THIS MORNING AND EXCLUDE THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY AND
SOUTHWEST MOUNTAINS ALTHOUGH AN HOUR OR TWO OF CRITICAL CONDITIONS
WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE BUT APPEARS MORE MORE LOCALIZED ATTM.

BY MONDAY THE UPPER HIGH WILL BE RIGHT ON TOP OF THE LAND OF
ENCHANTMENT WITH SOME MID LEVEL MOISTURE ADVECTING UP FROM THE
SOUTH. THIS WILL BRING ABOUT A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED HIGH BASED SHOWERS AND STORMS. MAINLY DRY STORMS WITH
LIGHTNING AND DOWNBURST WINDS WOULD BE THE MAIN THREATS. NOT GOOD
NEWS FOR POTENTIAL FIRE STARTS. MODELS SWEEP A MORE SIGNIFICANT
BACKDOOR COLD FRONT THROUGH THE EAST MONDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY
AND THROUGH THE GAPS OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN TUESDAY MORNING.
IF THIS VERIFIES...MORE SIGNIFICANT MOISTURE WOULD FINALLY RETURN TO
THE VALLEY AND WEST TO THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE.

THE GFS MODEL REMAINS MORE BULLISH THAN THE ECMWF WITH REGARD TO A
MONSOONAL SURGE TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. THE GFS TRANSLATES THE
UPPER HIGH TO THE EAST WITH A SURGE OF MOISTURE EVIDENT ACROSS
CENTRAL AND WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWFA. INCREASING CHANCES FOR
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WOULD BE LIKELY AND MORE TYPICAL FOR LATE
JUNE AND EARLY JULY. THE ECMWF SHOWS HINTS OF THIS PATTERN
DEVELOPING BUT KEEPS THE RIDGE AXIS MORE ELONGATED AND SQUASHING
THE BETTER MOISTURE SOUTH OVER OLD MEXICO. THERE ARE ENOUGH SIGNALS
IN THE MODELS TO INCREASE FORECAST CONFIDENCE FOR A WETTER PATTERN.
TIME WILL ONLY TELL IF MODEL TRENDS ARE CORRECT. STAY TUNED.
