...WINDY CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE ALONG THE SANGRE DE CRISTO
MOUNTAINS AND ADJACENT CENTRAL HIGHLANDS...

.STRONG WESTERLY WINDS OF 25 TO 35 MPH WITH A FEW GUSTS BETWEEN 40
AND 50 MPH WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS. THE WORST
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ALONG INTERSTATE 40 FROM CLINES CORNERS TO

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
321 PM MST THU MAR 10 2011

.DISCUSSION...ABSOLUTELY STELLAR WEATHER IS CURRENTLY IN PLACE
OVER NEW MEXICO TODAY. CONDITIONS ARE VERY DRY...BUT FORTUNATELY
WINDS ARE TAME AND ONLY A FEW SPORADIC LOCALES ARE CURRENTLY
EXPERIENCING OCCASIONAL GUSTS. AS WAS EXPECTED...THE RIDGE ALOFT
AND ASSOCIATED HEIGHT FIELDS HAVE ALLOWED TEMPERATURES TO CREEP
ABOVE NORMAL. CIRRUS CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO STREAM INTO THE STATE
OVERNIGHT...AND MID LEVEL FLOW WILL SHARPEN UP A BIT FROM THE WEST
AS PRESSURE FALLS AT THE SURFACE BEGIN MARKING THE DEVELOPMENT OF
THE LEE SIDE TROUGH IN THE NORTHEAST.

FOR THE END OF THE WORK WEEK...MODELS CONTINUE TO DEPICT AN UPPER
LEVEL SHORT WAVE TROUGH MOVING ACROSS THE NORTHERN ROCKIES. MODELS
ARE STILL WANTING TO KEEP THIS FEATURE FAIRLY WEAK WITH THE BEST
MOISTURE FAR REMOVED NORTH OF NEW MEXICO...BUT STILL THE MID LEVEL
FLOW WILL STRENGTHEN ENOUGH TO BE OF CONCERN FOR THE LAND OF
ENCHANTMENT. AS WINDS RISE TO 25 TO 40 KT AT H7 OVER THE CENTRAL
AND NORTHERN MOUNTAINS THEY WILL CREATE SOME GUSTY CONDITIONS FROM
MID MORNING FRIDAY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. AREAS DOWNWIND OF THE
CENTRAL MOUNTAINS WILL ALSO BECOME QUITE WINDY TOWARD CLINES
CORNERS AND SANTA ROSA. HAVE HOISTED A WIND ADVISORY FOR THE
CLINES CORNERS AREA NORTHWARD TO THE PEAKS AND EAST SLOPES OF THE
SANGRES FOR FRIDAY TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS. EFFICIENT MIXING IS EXPECTED
FROM SURFACE TO 650-600 MB IN MOST CENTRAL AND EASTERN LOCALES
WITH STEEP LAPSE RATES OF 8-10 C/KM...BUT THE STRENGTH OF THE WIND
ON THE PLAINS WILL BE DEPENDENT UPON PLACEMENT OF SURFACE LOW
SINCE SOME OF THE STRONGER MOMENTUM ALOFT WILL NOT BE FULLY
JUXTAPOSED OVER THE AREA DURING PEAK HEATING/MIXING. SURFACE LOW
IS EXPECTED TO SAG FARTHER SOUTHWARD INTO THE EAST CENTRAL PLAINS
NEAR THE TEXAS BORDER BY LATE AFTERNOON...AND THE LOW DOES NOT
APPEAR TO BE TERRIBLY ROBUST. IF THIS ALTERS...MIDNIGHT SHIFT CAN
EXPAND THE ADVISORY.

THE BACK DOOR COLD FRONT IS FORECASTED TO ARRIVE A BIT EARLIER
FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING BASED ON PROGRESSION OF THE
AFOREMENTIONED SURFACE LOW. MODELS HAVE ALSO BACKED OFF ON THE
WESTWARD PROGRESSION OF THE FRONT...SO IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT
THE BOUNDARY WILL BE ABLE TO PENETRATE ANY GAPS/CANYONS WITHIN
THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN. SOME INCREASE IN LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS
EXPECTED BEHIND THE FRONT...BUT MID LEVELS WILL REMAIN FAR TOO
PARCHED FOR ANY PRECIPITATION DEVELOPMENT.

TEMPERATURES WILL RUN SLIGHTLY COOLER ON SATURDAY...CLOSER TO
SEASONAL VALUES...WHILE THE CENTRAL TO WESTERN ZONES OF NEW MEXICO
REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL. ZONAL FLOW WILL BE THE RULE FOR THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS WITH A FEW SEEMINGLY INSIGNIFICANT PERTURBATIONS
TRACKING NORTH OF NEW MEXICO. WAVES ON BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY
WILL ONLY OFFER SPARSE PRECIPITATION CHANCES IN THE NORTHERNMOST
MOUNTAINS NEAR THE COLORADO BORDER.

BY SUNDAY NIGHT AND INTO MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT...THE GFS IS
JUMPING INTO MORE SPRINGTIME SIGNATURES WITH RETURN FLOW OFF OF
THE GULF OF MEXICO USHERING IN SOME MUCH HIGHER DEWPOINTS IN THE
50S FOR FAR EASTERN NEW MEXICO. THE FIRST INTRUSIONS OF THE SEASON
SUCH AS THIS ARE ALWAYS VERY DIFFICULT FOR THE MODELS TO
PINPOINT...AND OFTEN THE SHALLOW NATURE OF THE MOISTURE LEADS TO A
QUICK MIXING OUT OF THE MOISTURE DURING DIURNAL HEATING. HAVE KEPT
THE FORECAST MOSTLY DRY THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF NEXT WEEK FOR
NOW. NOT UNTIL NEXT WEEKEND IS THERE ANY EVIDENCE THAT THE ZONAL
FLOW WILL FINALLY BREAK DOWN AND SUCCUMB TO A TROUGH PASSAGE.

52

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS. WHILE
CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES WILL NOT BE A CONCERN...A TIGHTENING
SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN
CHAIN AND ADJACENT CENTRAL HIGHLANDS FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY
AFTERNOON. SUSTAINED WESTERLY WINDS OF 20 TO 30 KTS WITH A FEW
GUSTS AT OR ABOVE 40 KTS WILL BE POSSIBLE. PATCHY BLOWING DUST
COULD RESULT. WINDS WILL SUBSIDE AFTER SUNSET.

NEXT AVIATION DISCUSSION SCHEDULED FOR 10Z. KW

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...RED FLAG WARNING FOR NM ZONES 107 AND 108. FIRE
WEATHER WATCH FOR NM ZONES 103 AND 104.

UPPER LEVEL RIDGE STILL ANCHORED OVER NEW MEXICO TODAY WILL BEGIN TO
BREAK DOWN TONIGHT AND ESPECIALLY ON FRIDAY. GENERALLY POOR
OVERNIGHT RECOVERIES CAN BE EXPECTED EAST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS
AND ESPECIALLY OVER SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. FAIR TO
GOOD RECOVERIES EXPECTED OVER THE WEST AND NORTH.

PRESSURE FALLS WILL INDUCE A LEE SIDE SURFACE TROUGH ACROSS THE
EASTERN PLAINS ON FRIDAY. INCREASING 700MB FLOW WILL LEAD TO
EFFICIENT MIXING AND STRONGER WINDS ALONG THE SUMMITS OF THE CENTRAL
MOUNTAIN CHAIN...ADJACENT CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL HIGHLANDS...EAST
CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST PLAINS. THE HIGHEST CONFIDENCE FOR CRITICAL
CONDITIONS REMAINS ALONG THE INTERSTATE 40 CORRIDOR FROM CLINES
CORNERS TO TUCUMCARI WITH A CONCENTRATED AREA OF EXTREMELY CRITICAL
OR DANGEROUS CONDITIONS POSSIBLE FROM CLINES CORNERS TO SANTA ROSA.
EVEN MODEL PROGGED DEWPOINTS IN THE 0 TO -5 RANGE ARE FORECAST WITH
TEMPERATURES NEAR 70 AND SUSTAINED WESTERLY WINDS IN THE 25 TO 30 KT
RANGE. FIRE GROWTH POTENTIAL IN THESE AREAS COULD BE EXPLOSIVE GIVEN
IGNITION.

LESS CONFIDENCE IN PLACE FOR ZONES 103 AND 104 GIVEN THE FASTER
SOUTHWARD MOVEMENT OF THE SURFACE LOW AND PROGRESSION OF THE
BACKDOOR COLD FRONT. DID COLLABORATE IN HOUSE WITH INCIDENT
METEOROLOGIST AND WITH SPC AND SURROUNDING WFOS AND CAME TO SIMILAR
CONCLUSION. 700MB WINDS STILL PROGGED IN THE 30 TO 40 KT RANGE EVEN
WITHIN THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN PORTIONS OF ZONES 103 AND 104. THERE
IS ENOUGH UNCERTAINTY TO LEAVE THE WATCH ATTM AND LET THE EVENING
AND OR MIDNIGHT SHIFT MAKE THE FINAL CALL.

BACKDOOR COLD FRONT WILL BRING AN INCREASE IN LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
ACROSS THE EAST FRIDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY SATURDAY WHICH WILL
ALLEVIATE THE CRITICAL CONDITIONS.

SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...A SERIES OF UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES WILL
TRACK TO THE NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA TAKING THE BULK OF ANY
MOISTURE INTO COLORADO. APART FROM A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS/SNOW
SHOWERS OVER THE NORTHERN HIGH TERRAIN...THERE WILL BE MINIMAL
PRECIPITATION CHANCES THROUGH THE NEXT WEEK. SOME SHALLOW MOISTURE
RETURN WILL BE POSSIBLE EACH MORNING ACROSS THE EAST BUT NOTHING
DEEP ENOUGH TO STICK AROUND FOR LONG.
