AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
345 PM MDT SAT SEP 3 2011

...WETTING RAINFALL THIS EVENING AND COOLER WEATHER ON SUNDAY...

.DISCUSSION...
SURFACE COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO PLUNGE SOUTHWARD THRU THE EC PLAINS
OF NEW MEXICO THIS AFTERNOON. RADAR SUGGESTS BOUNDARY IS CURRENTLY
STRETCHED FROM LAS VEGAS-CLOVIS. A HEALTHY CLUSTER OF SHOWERS/STORMS
HAVE ERUPTED IMMEDIATELY IN THE WAKE OF THE BOUNDARY. ISOLD ACTIVITY
SPORTED SOME ROBUST ROTATING UPDRAFTS...THOUGH IT APPEARS THE REGION
IS STARTING TO TRANSITION TO A MODERATE/HEAVY RAIN EVENT. EXPECT THE
BAND OF PCPN TO CONTINUE A SLOW PROGRESSION S/SE THRU THE REMAINDER
OF THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. READINGS HAVE BEEN CRATERING IN
THE FAR NE PLAINS TODAY. IN ADDITION...THIS FRONT APPEARS TO BE ONE
OF THOSE ATYPICAL SITUATIONS WHERE DEWPOINTS ACTUALLY FALL...LEADING
TO MORE STABLE CONDITIONS DEEPER IN THE COLD POOL. EXPECT THE FRONT
TO SQUEEZE THROUGH THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN NEAR OR SHORTLY BEFORE
00Z. MODELS ARE STILL AGGRESSIVE WITH GAP WINDS AND WILL POST A WIND
ADVISORY FOR NM519-520 FOR WINDY CONDITIONS NEAR THE CANYONS THROUGH
18Z/SUNDAY. EXPECT SPEEDS TO PEAK AROUND MIDNIGHT...RANGING FROM 25
TO 35 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 50 MPH. PCPN WILL CONTINUE WELL PAST THE
MIDNIGHT HOUR IN THE EC/SE PLAINS AS ISENTROPIC LIFT ALONG THE 310K
SURFACE COMBINES WITH VERY LOW CONDENSATION PRESSURE DEFICITS. WEAK
UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES EMBEDDED WITHIN NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT SHOULD
ALSO AID IN VERTICAL ASCENT AT TIMES. THIS COULD BE A PROLONGED RAIN
EVENT IN THE EC/SE PLAINS TONIGHT...MUCH WELCOMED DUE TO THE DROUGHT
CONDITIONS. MEANWHILE...ISOLD/SCT STORMS IN WRN NM WILL PERSIST THRU
AT LEAST SUNSET.

SURFACE BOUNDARY WILL ADVANCE BEYOND THE ARIZONA BORDER BY LATE SUN
MORNING WITH A DEEP LAYER OF STABLE AIR INVADING THE ERN PLAINS. THE
LATEST GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO MAINTAIN A THICK STRATUS DECK OVER THE
ERN PLAINS WHICH WILL ERODE VERY SLOWLY FROM EAST TO WEST DURING THE
LATE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS. THIS WILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT
IMPACT ON HIGHS AND HAVE MAINTAINED ONGOING GRIDS WHICH SIDE ON THE
COOLER END OF THE MOS ENVELOPE. READINGS WILL BE 15-20 DEGREES BELOW
SEASONAL NORMALS...WHICH WILL PUT THE KIBOSH ON THE ROSWELL STRETCH
OF 90+ TEMPERATURES. PCPN CHANCES ON SUNDAY WILL BE RELEGATED TO THE
WRN PARTS OF THE STATE WHERE CONVERGENCE NEAR THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE
WILL ENHANCE COVERAGE OF STORMS. WILL HAVE TO MONITOR FOR THE THREAT
FOR STRONG STORMS IN THE WEST AS DIRECTIONAL SHEAR IS GOOD...THOUGH
MANY OF THE OTHER SEVERE WEATHER VARIABLES WILL BE LACKING. OPTED TO
LOWER THE THREAT FOR QPF WITHIN THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY AS IT APPEARS
STABLE AIR COULD OOZE INTO THE REGION.

AIRMASS WILL MODIFY ON MONDAY WITH MOST AREAS CLIMBING 5-15F WARMER
THAN 24 HOURS PRIOR. READINGS WILL GENERALLY BE A FEW DEGREES ABOVE/
BELOW NORMAL FROM WEST TO EAST RESPECTIVELY. THE UPPER HIGH WILL BE
IN ERN ARIZONA...LEADING TO THE GREATEST THREAT FOR QPF IN THE WRN/
CENTRAL HIGH TERRAIN WITH THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE BEING A MAIN FOCUS.
AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE RIDING THE NRN PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE AND
ITS ASSOCIATED BACKDOOR COLD FRONT WILL IMPACT THE NRN/NE SECTOR OF
THE FORECAST AREA TUE/TUE NIGHT. REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST SUGGESTS
AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE REGION AS A DEEP TROUGH CARVES IT WAY
THROUGH THE ERN UNITED STATES. DPORTER

&&

.AVIATION...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE FOUND ACROSS
WESTERN AND CENTRAL AREAS REST OF TODAY. EASTERN AREAS WILL SEE
NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND STORMS. SOME OF THE STORMS ACROSS THE EAST WILL
DROP CONDITIONS DOWN TO MVFR AND PERHAPS EVEN IFR FOR A SHORT
PERIOD. CIGS AND QUITE POSSIBLE VIS SHOULD DROP TONIGHT ACROSS THE
EASTERN PLAINS AND EAST SLOPES OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AS COOLER
AIR CONTINUES TO FILTER IN VIA THE BACK DOOR COLD FRONT. SOME OF
THIS LOWER CIGS COULD FLOW INTO THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY AS INDICATED
BY THE TERMINAL FORECAST FOR TCC.

NEXT AVIATION DISCUSSION SCHEDULED FOR 09Z. 50

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
NO REAL SIGNIFICANT CHANGES MADE TO THE GRIDDED FORECAST. IT APPEARS
THAT THE BACK DOOR WILL PROVIDE LOWER DEWPOINTS A FEW HOURS AFTER IT
PASSES AS INDICATED BY DOWNSTREAM DEWPOINT READINGS. MASSAGED
DEWPOINTS ACCORDINGLY FOR THAT. CONTINUED WITH THE BEEFY WINDS ALONG
THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS FOR TONIGHT. THIS APPEARS TO BE ONE OF THOSE
COLD FRONTS THAT WILL PROVIDE STRONG WINDS BOTH WITHIN THE GAPS AS
WELL AS OVER THE HIGHER RIDGETOPS.

AS MENTIONED ABOVE BACK DOOR COLD FRONT WILL RACE ACROSS THE EASTERN
PLAINS AND PUSH THROUGH THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS LATE THIS AFTERNOON
INTO THE EVENING HOURS. GUSTY WINDS WILL REMAIN ACROSS CENTRAL AND
EVENTUALLY WESTERN AREAS AFTER MIDNIGHT. HUMIDITY RECOVERIES WILL
MOST CERTAINLY TREND UP TONIGHT COMPARED TO LAST NIGHT/S READINGS.
WETTING RAIN A GOOD BET ACROSS EAST CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO
OVERNIGHT.

HUMIDITY VALUES ON SUNDAY WILL TREND UP PRETTY MUCH AREAWIDE EXCEPT
FOR THE FAR NORTHEAST THANKS TO LOWERING DEWPOINTS THERE.
TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO BE MUCH COOLER WITH BELOW NORMAL READINGS
BETWEEN 10 TO 17 DEGREES ALONG AND EAST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS. AS
A RESULT...CONDITIONS WILL STABILIZE AND SIGNIFICANTLY LIMIT SHOWER
AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THERE. THE MAIN FOCUS FOR WETTING RAIN
WILL BE FOUND ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY...GENERALLY ALONG THE
CONTINENTAL DIVIDE.

UPPER HIGH WILL BE CENTERED OVER THE BOOTHEEL REGION ON MONDAY. IT
STILL APPEARS THAT CONDITIONS WILL BE PRETTY STABLE ACROSS THE
EASTERN HALF OF THE AREA SO THAT WILL LIMIT THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
THE WESTERN THIRD WOULD BE FAVORED THE MOST BUT APPEARS TO BE A DOWN
DAY OVERALL. TEMPERATURES WILL WARM SOME WHILE IT IS SAFE TO SAY
THAT HUMIDITY VALUES WILL COME DOWN. SIGNIFICANT IN SOME AREAS.

BOTH GFS AND ECMWF CONTINUE WITH THE TREND OF KEEPING THE CENTER OF
THE UPPER HIGH SOUTH OF NEW MEXICO BOTH TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.
MODELS SHOW SOME SORT OF WAVE TRANSLATION ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND
SOUTHERN ROCKIES WHICH WOULD PROVIDE AN UPTICK IN SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL ACROSS THE NORTH. ECMWF AND GFS PAINT THIS
PICTURE PRETTY WELL EVEN THOUGH THE OVERALL UPPER AIR PATTERN
APPEARS TO BE CONVOLUTED. PERHAPS SOME RESIDUAL MOISTURE ACROSS THE
NORTH AS THE WEEK PROGRESSES AS UPPER HIGH IS DEPICTED TO STAY ALONG
THE SOUTHERN BORDER. 50
