AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
327 PM MST MON MAR 7 2011

...STORM CONTINUES TO BRING SNOW/WIND/CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER TO NM...

.DISCUSSION...
MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGES ARE FOCUSED IN THE SHORT TERM...INCLUDING
SNOW ACCUMULATIONS IN THE NORTHERN HIGH TERRAIN AND THE STRENGTH OF
SURFACE WINDS THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON. AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE
WILL BRING A HEALTHY ONE-TWO PUNCH TO THE LAND OF ENCHANTMENT OVER
THE NEXT 24 HOURS. THE FIRST WAVE HAS RACED THROUGH ARIZONA AND IS
MIGRATING THROUGH WRN NM ATTM. THE LATEST WATER VAPOR LOOP SUGGESTS
SOME ROTATION ON THE NRN FRINGE OF THIS NEGATIVELY-TILTED WAVE. THE
DYNAMIC SYSTEM WILL ALLOW PCPN TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE/INTENSITY...
WITH EVEN A FEW STORMS POSSIBLE DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY IN
THE ATMOSPHERE. 12Z KABQ AND MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATE AN INVERTED-
V PROFILE...INDICATIVE OF MICROBURSTS ASSOCIATED WITH VIRGA. BEST
THREAT FOR ANY SIGNIFICANT QPF WILL BE NORTH OF INTERSTATE 40. HAVE
INCREASED POPS ACROSS THIS AREA AND EXPANDED COVERAGE SOUTHWARD AS
WELL. MEANWHILE...A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT WILL REMAIN ENTRENCHED OVER
THE NE/EC PLAINS...THOUGH IT WILL NOT MAKE MUCH PROGRESS UNTIL THE
PACIFIC SEGMENT APPROACHES TOMORROW MORNING. SNOW LEVELS ARE FAIRLY
ELEVATED THIS AFTERNOON AROUND 7000-8000 FEET...AND WILL GRADUALLY
LOWER AS THE OVERNIGHT PROGRESSES. THE SECOND AND COLDER WAVE ALOFT
IN CENTRAL NEVADA WILL MOVE INTO THE FOUR CORNERS AREA BY 06Z/TUE...
THEN MIGRATE EASTWARD THROUGH LATE TUESDAY MORNING. IT APPEARS THE
HEAVIEST ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE FOCUSED ALONG THE PEAKS/WRN SLOPES...
WHERE 3 TO 6 INCHES WILL BE COMMON WITH LOCALLY HEAVIER AMOUNTS UP
TO 9 INCHES NEAR THE COLORADO BORDER. HAVE OPTED TO INCLUDE NMZ503-
511 TO THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY DUE TO A MORE SLY TRACK OF THE
SYSTEM.

WINDY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS WRN/CENTRAL NEW MEXICO THIS
EVENING...MAINLY SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 40. WIND ADVISORY IS SCHEDULED
TO EXPIRE AT 02Z AND WILL NOT ADJUST FOR NOW. 700MB FLOW WILL STAY
WITHIN THE 45-55KT RANGE OVERNIGHT...THUS WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO
SEE A FEW LOCALES BOUNCE INTO ADVISORY CRITERIA OVERNIGHT...BUT IT
SHOULD NOT BE WIDESPREAD UNTIL AFTER DAYBREAK TUESDAY. FLOW SHIFTS
TO A NWLY COMPONENT TUESDAY MORNING/AFTERNOON. IT APPEARS UPR LEVEL
AND SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENTS WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO PRODUCE WINDY
CONDITIONS IN CENTRAL/ERN NM...MAINLY ALONG/SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 40.
IN FACT...SPEEDS ARE PROJECTED TO BE IN THE HIGH WIND CATEGORY. THE
STRONGEST SPEEDS WILL BE FROM CLINES CORNERS TO THE SACRAMENTO MTS.
HAVE EXPANDED THE WATCH SOUTHWARD TO COVER THIS THREAT. HIGHS THAT
ARE 5-15 BELOW/ABOVE NORMAL NORTH/SOUTH OF I-40 RESPECTIVELY SHOULD
TRANSITION TO BELOW AVERAGE STATEWIDE FOR TUESDAY. AREA OF CRITICAL
FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS SHRUNK OVER THE SE PLAINS DUE TO THE COOLER
AIR MASS...BUT SRN NMZ108 SHOULD STILL REACH THE REQUIRED CRITERIA.

QUIETER NORTHWEST FLOW WILL ENSUE FOR WEDNESDAY AS AN UPPER LEVEL
RIDGE DEVELOPS OVER THE SWRN UNITED STATES. THIS UPR LEVEL FEATURE
WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A MID-WEEK WARMING TREND. EXPECT OVERNIGHT
INVERSIONS TO BECOME MORE PRONOUNCED DURING THIS PERIOD AS WELL. A
WEAK WAVE ALOFT IS PROGGED TO SWING ACROSS NEW MEXICO THIS WEEKEND.
BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE IS FORECAST TO RACE NORTHWARD IN THE HIGH
PLAINS. IF TIMING IS MARRIED CORRECTLY...THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE MAIN
PCPN MODE. BUT...THERE IS STILL PLENTY OF TIME FOR FORECAST MODELS
TO CHANGE THEIR TUNE. DPORTER

&&

.AVIATION...
UPPER TROUGH CONTINUES TO DEEPEN OVER NORTHWEST NEW MEXICO. SOME
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE
INTO THE EARLY EVENING OVER NORTHWEST TO NORTH CENTRAL NEW MEXICO
WHERE SOME SMALL HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS WILL ACCOMPANY. OCCASIONAL
MVFR CONDITIONS WILL ALSO DEVELOP THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT IN
LOWERED CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES NEAR RAIN SHOWERS FROM NORTH
CENTRAL TO NORTHWESTERN NEW MEXICO. HIGHER PEAKS WILL SEE LOCALIZED
IFR CONDITIONS IN SNOW...AND PRECIPITATION WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE
REMAINDER OF THE NORTHERN TIER OF NEW MEXICO THROUGH THE LATE
EVENING AND OVERNIGHT AS SNOW LEVELS LOWER TO VALLEY FLOORS.

SUSTAINED WINDS OF 15 TO 30 KT WILL BE COMMON OVER MUCH OF WEST
CENTRAL TO CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE STATE THROUGH EARLY EVENING.
AFTER SUNSET SURFACE WINDS WILL DIMINISH SOME...BUT A STRONG MID
LEVEL JET WILL BE ENTERING STATE FROM WEST...INDUCING SOME POCKETS
OF LLWS AND POTENTIAL MOUNTAIN WAVES. STRONGER WINDS WILL MORE
EFFICIENTLY MIX TO THE SURFACE TUESDAY MORNING WITH SOME GUSTS TO 45
AND 50 KT POSSIBLE ALONG AND EAST OF THE CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL
MOUNTAINS.

NEXT AVIATION DISCUSSION SCHEDULED FOR 10Z. 52

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE FOR SOUTHWESTERN AND
SOUTH CENTRAL AREAS THROUGH EARLY EVENING. STRONG WINDS WILL PERSIST
INTO TUESDAY WITH CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS REDEVELOPING FOR
THE EAST CENTRAL TO SOUTHEASTERN PLAINS OF NEW MEXICO.

RED FLAG WARNING WILL STAY HOISTED WITH AREAS SOUTH OF QUEMADO TO
SOCORRO TO CORONA MOST LIKELY SEEING CRITICAL HUMIDITY AND WINDS
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WINDS WILL LIKELY SUBSIDE SOME AT THE
SURFACE...HOWEVER THE STRONG MID LEVEL JET WILL ENTER THE STATE
TONIGHT. BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY LINGER ALONG RIDGE
TOPS AND PEAKS WITH OCCASIONAL MOUNTAIN WAVES CRASHING TO LOWER
ELEVATIONS DOWNWIND. POOR TO FAIR RH RECOVERY IS EXPECTED SOUTH OF
INTERSTATE 40 TONIGHT...AND BY MORNING THE THE MID LEVEL JET AND THE
SURFACE LOW WILL BE SHIFTING EASTWARD. TEMPERATURES WILL RUN COOLER
TUESDAY IN THE WAKE OF THE PACIFIC FRONT...BUT STILL GOOD MIXING
AMIDST RELATIVELY STEEP LAPSE RATES WILL ALLOW STRONG WINDS TO MIX
TO THE SURFACE. THESE STRONGER WINDS WILL SPREAD ALONG AND EAST OF
THE CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL MOUNTAINS WITH SOME OCCASIONAL GUSTS
TO 50 AND 60 MPH POSSIBLE. WINDS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH THROUGH THE
LATE AFTERNOON WITH AND EARLY EVENING AS THE UPPER TROUGH/LOW AND
SURFACE LOW EXIT THE REGION. DESPITE THE COOLER TEMPERATURES...
MINIMUM HUMIDITY WOULD BE QUITE LOW IN THE EAST CENTRAL TO
SOUTHEASTERN PLAINS. THIS COUPLED WITH THE STRONG WINDS WILL WARRANT
THE CONTINUATION OF THE RED FLAG WARNING FOR THE EAST CENTRAL HIGH
PLAINS IN SOUTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF FWZ 108. ELSEWHERE HUMIDITY WILL
HOVER ABOVE CRITICAL THRESHOLDS.

A RESPITE FROM THE DYNAMIC WEATHER WILL MEAN MUCH MORE TRANQUIL
CONDITIONS WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. UPPER RIDGING PATTERN WOULD ALLOW
FOR A WARM UP BACK TO SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES WHILE MODERATE BREEZES
REGISTER OVER CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE STATE. A WEAK WAVE PASSING
INTO THE NORTHERN ROCKIES BY FRIDAY COULD ENHANCE BREEZINESS...
FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL TROUGH PASSAGE BY LATE NEXT WEEKEND.

NEW MEXICO.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND
SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO TODAY. GUSTS NEAR 50 MPH ARE POSSIBLE WHICH

MOUNTAINS. SNOW WILL BEGIN THIS AFTERNOON AND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
EARLY TUESDAY MORNING.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY

STRONG WINDS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE EAST CENTRAL PLAINS ON
TUESDAY MORNING. THESE WINDS WILL LIKELY BE STRONGER THAN TODAY
AND WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE...DOWNED
TREES AND POWER LINES. LOW HUMIDITIES COMBINED WITH THESE STRONG
WINDS WILL RESULT IN CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ACROSS THE
EAST CENTRAL PLAINS.

WEATHER CAN CHANGE VERY RAPIDLY. ALWAYS USE THE LATEST FORECASTS...
WATCHES AND WARNINGS FOR PLANNING PURPOSES.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO REPORT SNOWFALL AMOUNTS AND HIGH WIND
