AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
326 AM MDT MON APR 18 2011

...STRONG WINDS AND CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER THE MAIN STORY THIS WEEK...

.DISCUSSION...
BREEZY CONDITIONS AND A LAYER OF MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS HAVE
DETERRED OVERNIGHT TEMPS FROM FALLING VERY MUCH. TEMPERATURES
ACROSS NEW MEXICO THUS FAR HAVE ONLY DIPPED BACK TO THE 50S AND
60S WITH A FEW 40S OVER THE NORTHERN HIGH TERRAIN. WE EXPECT THE
SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT TO REMAIN TIGHT ENOUGH TO KEEP THE
BREEZY CONDITIONS IN PLACE.

FORECAST CHALLENGES FOR TODAY WILL BE WIND SPEEDS AND EXTENT OF
BOTH ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS AND CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS.
NAM-WRF 700MB ANALYSIS STILL DOES NOT SHOW IMPRESSIVE WIND SPEEDS
BUT A STRONG SURFACE LOW WILL TAKE SHAPE WHICH WILL MAKE UP FOR IT
AT THE SURFACE. GUIDANCE HAS HAD A TOUGH TIME RESOLVING WIND
SPEEDS AS OF LATE AND THE WEAK 700MB FLOW PORTRAYED IN THE NAM-WRF
LOOKS A LITTLE SUSPICIOUS. WE WILL CONTINUE TO FORECAST WINDS A
TAD ABOVE GUIDANCE AND DEWPOINTS BELOW. WILL CONTINUE RED FLAG
WARNING FOR ALL SECTIONS AND HOIST A WIND ADVISORY MAINLY FOR THE
CENTRAL HIGHLANDS NORTH TO LAS VEGAS. SOME BLOWING DUST WILL BE
KICKED UP IN THOSE AREAS.

IN ADDITION...JET ENERGY ASSOCIATED WITH A SUBTLE SHORTWAVE IS
EXPECTED TO SWEEP ACROSS THE NORTHERN HIGH TERRAIN THIS EVENING
AND TONIGHT. SUITE OF GFS/NAM/UKMET AND ECMWF ALL SHOWING SOME QPF
DEVELOPING. LIFTED INDICES APPROACH 0 AND PERHAPS -1 AND WILL
CONTINUE ISOLATED THUNDER MENTION MAINLY FOR THE HIGH TERRAIN.
SNOW LEVELS WILL REMAIN RATHER HIGH OVERNIGHT BUT THE HIGHER
TERRAIN WILL LIKELY SEE SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY WITH THIS SHORTWAVE.
AT THIS TIME...THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 2 INCHES...POSSIBLY 3
WILL BE FOUND OVER THE SAN JUANS CLOSEST TO THE COLORADO BORDER.

ON TUESDAY...MODELS ARE ADAMANT ABOUT DRIVING A 50 TO 60+ KT 700MB
JET ACROSS CENTRAL AND NORTHERN NEW MEXICO WITH MOUNTAIN WAVE
ACTIVITY EXPECTED. STRONGER WINDS WILL CRASH DOWN TO THE SURFACE
AS EARLY AS SUNRISE TUESDAY WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING GUSTS.
WILL LIKELY SEE A DECENT SWATH OF HIGH END ADVISORY WINDS BUT
EXTENT OF WARNING LEVEL WINDS IS UNCERTAIN AND WILL ALLOW THE DAY
SHIFT ANOTHER INSPECTION BEFORE ISSUING A WATCH. WILL UPGRADE FIRE
WEATHER WATCH TO A WARNING. IN ADDITION...NAM12 CONTINUES TO EDGE
A COLD FRONT INTO THE FAR NORTHEAST PLAINS TUESDAY AFTERNOON.
CONVERGENCE AND ADDED MOISTURE WITH THE BOUNDARY MAY BE ENOUGH TO
SPARK A FEW SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS. DID ADD THIS TO THE GRIDS.

WEDNESDAY STILL LOOKS LIKE A RETURN SURGE OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
OVER THE EAST AND A CONTINUATION OF VERY DRY CONDITIONS ALONG AND
WEST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN. ANY MOISTURE RETURN WILL BE
SHORT LIVED AS THURSDAY LOOKS TO BE SHAPING UP TO BE ANOTHER WINDY
DAY WITH CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS RETURNING TO NEW MEXICO.

LONG RANGE GFS AND TO MORE EXTENT THE ECMWF SHOW A MORE
SIGNIFICANT STORM SYSTEM APPROACHING NEW MEXICO BY NEXT SUNDAY.
WAY TOO EARLY TO MAKE ANY ASSUMPTIONS WITH THIS STORM BUT AS HAS
BEEN THE CASE ALL SPRING...SYSTEMS TEND TO TRACK FURTHER AND
FURTHER NORTH WITH TIME. WILL CONTINUE A FORECAST TOWARD
PERSISTENCE ATTM.

.AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS PREVAIL ALL AIRPORTS. SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL BE
STRONGER TODAY ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION...ESPECIALLY FROM THE
CENTRAL MT CHAIN EAST INTO THE PLAINS WHERE GUSTS UP TO 45 KTS ARE
POSSIBLE. VERY DRY SOIL WILL LEAD TO AREAS OF BLDU WITH VSBYS AS LOW
AS 5-6SM POSSIBLE FROM AROUND CLINES CORNERS EAST TO NEAR LAS VEGAS
AND PERHAPS TUCUMCARI. AWW CRITERIA WINDS MAY BE REACHED FOR AN HOUR
OR TWO AT ALBUQUERQUE DEPENDING ON STRENGTH OF MIXING TODAY. WINDS
WILL DIMINISH AFTER SUNSET MOST AREAS EXCEPT THE LEE OF THE CENTRAL
MT CHAIN WHERE DOWNSLOPE FLOW WILL LEAD TO ERRATIC GUSTY WINDS THRU
SUNRISE.

NEXT AVIATION DISCUSSION SCHEDULED FOR 21Z. GUYER

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
...VERY ACTIVE FIRE WX PATTERN ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH THIS WEEK...

WIDESPREAD POOR HUMIDITY RECOVERIES AND BREEZY CONDITIONS OVERNIGHT
ACROSS MUCH OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN NM WILL LEAD TO CRITICAL AND
LOCALLY EXTREME FIRE WX CONDITIONS TODAY. ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS...
SINGLE DIGIT RH VALUES...STEEP LAPSE RATES...AND EXCEPTIONALLY DRY
SOIL MOISTURE VALUES WILL FURTHER EXACERBATE DANGEROUS FIRE ACTIVITY.

AN UPPER LEVEL WAVE WILL SLIDE EAST ACROSS SOUTHERN COLORADO TONIGHT
ALLOWING WINDS TO STAY BREEZY OVERNIGHT IN THE HIGH TERRAIN AND
ALONG THE EAST SLOPES WHERE ERRATIC WESTERLY DOWNSLOPE FLOW EXISTS.
RECOVERIES WILL BE POOR AGAIN ACROSS MAINLY THE EASTERN PLAINS...
LEADING INTO ANOTHER DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR TUESDAY. HAVE UPGRADED
THE WATCH TO A WARNING FOR THE EASTERN PLAINS...SW MTS AND WEST
CENTRAL HIGHLANDS.

A SURFACE FRONT WILL SLIP SOUTH DOWN THE EASTERN PLAINS BEHIND THIS
WAVE TUESDAY NIGHT. RECOVERIES WILL TREND MUCH BETTER BEHIND THIS
FRONT. STRONG WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL ALLOW SURFACE WINDS TO VEER
BACK TO THE SW OVER THE NE PLAINS WHERE CRITICAL FIRE WX CONDITIONS
ARE POSSIBLE OVER THE LOCALIZED AREA. WILL HOLD OFF ON HIGHLIGHTS
AT THIS TIME.

ANOTHER FAST MOVING UPPER WAVE WILL MOVE ACROSS SOUTHERN COLORADO
THURSDAY AND INTO THE PLAINS FRIDAY...ALLOWING FOR STRONG WINDS OVER
NM ONCE AGAIN. THIS WILL LEAD TO A NEAR REPEAT OF TODAY AND TUESDAY.
EXPECT STRONG SW FLOW THURSDAY WITH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS...SINGLE
DIGIT RH VALUES...AND UNSTABLE CONDITIONS...THEN STRONG DRY WEST TO
NW FLOW FRIDAY.

ANOTHER WAVE SLIDES TOWARD THE AREA SUNDAY INTO MONDAY...CONTINUING
THIS VERY ACTIVE FIRE WX SEASON.
