315 PM MDT SUN MAY 29 2011

.DISCUSSION...
WIDESPREAD STRONG WINDS TO CONTINUE THROUGH THIS EVENING...WITH
CENTRAL MOUNTAIN AND SOME EASTERN SLOPES CONTINUE TO BLOW ALL
NIGHT AND MON. WILL EXTEND WIND ADVISORIES FOR THESE ZONES...
REPLACE THE HIGH NORTHERN SANGRE PEAKS WITH A WIND ADVISORY
THROUGH MON...AND ALLOW OTHER ZONES TO EXPIRE AT 9 PM.

STRONG FRONT AND SPEED MAX ALOFT WILL CROSS NM TON WITH A MUCH
COOLER MEMORIAL DAY FOR THE W...AND THE LOSS OF THE RECORD
BREAKING HEAT IN E. NOTHING MORE THAN A SHOWER OVER THE SAN JUAN
PEAKS MON.

MOISTURE BEGINS TO ADVANCE NE MON NIGHT AND TUE ACROSS THE E
PLAINS. ISOLATED STORMS FOR MOST OF THE E. MODELS NOW SHOWER
LIMITED MOISTURE INTO THE W NEXT WEEK...WITH FAVORED AREA
REMAINING THE E. WILL MAKE SIGNIFICANT ADJUSTMENTS IN THE GRIDS
TO REFLECT THIS CHANGE. GFS WANTS TO BRING POPS INTO THE W NEXT
WEEKEND...TIME WILL TELL. CHJ

&&

.AVIATION...
STRONG TO VERY STRONG WINDS WITH GUSTS BETWEEN 35 TO 48 KT WILL
CONTINUE ACROSS THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE REST OF THE
AFTERNOON. AWW CURRENTLY OUT FOR THE ABQ AIRPORT. WINDS WILL ABATE
SOME ACROSS THE LOWER ELEVATIONS BUT REMAIN RATHER STRONG ACROSS THE
UPPER ELEVATIONS DURING THE EVENING HOURS AS A STRONG MID LEVEL
JET MAX TRANSLATES OVER THE AREA. THIS JET MAX WILL SHIFT EASTWARD
AND AFFECT THE HIGHER TERRAIN FOUND ACROSS THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS
DURING THE EARLY TO MID MORNING HOURS ON MONDAY WHILE THE NORTHEAST
HALF OF THE AREA STARTS TO RECEIVE STRONGER WIND FLOWS MID/LATE
MORNING. RESIDUAL STRONG WINDS SHOULD CONTINUE ACROSS THE NORTHEAST
HALF DURING PORTIONS OF MONDAY AFTERNOON. TERMINAL SITES SUCH AS LVS
AND TCC SHOULD SEE GUSTS 35 KT OR GREATER ON MONDAY.

NEXT AVIATION DISCUSSION SCHEDULED FOR 09Z. 50

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
ONGOING WEATHER BEHAVING AS EXPECTED WITH STRONG TO VERY STRONG
SOUTH/SOUTHWEST WINDS ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA. THIS IS ALL DUE TO A
VERY STRONG PACIFIC TROUGH WHICH IS CURRENTLY OVER THE GREAT BASIN
AND NORTHERN ROCKIES AND A VIGOROUS SURFACE LOW STRETCHED FROM UTAH
INTO COLORADO. THESE FEATURES WILL EVENTUALLY SHIFT EASTWARD
OVERNIGHT AND GRADUALLY WEAKEN SOME DURING THE DAY ON MONDAY. THIS
IS WHEN MORE STABLE AIR...RELATED TO COOLING AT THE SURFACE...MOVES
IN FROM THE WEST.

CURRENT HIGHLIGHTS LOOK GOOD FOR TODAY AND MONDAY. DONT DOUBT THAT
SOME LOCALIZED AREAS COULD SEE SPORADIC RED FLAG CONDITIONS PAST THE
EXPIRATION POINT OF TODAY/S PRODUCT BUT NOT ENOUGH AREA TO WARRANT
AN EXTENSION AT THIS TIME. AS EXPECTED...LONGER RANGE MODELS ARE
STARTING TO SHOW A MORE BULLISH UPPER LOW TRANSLATION FOR THE LATTER
HALF OF NEXT WEEK. THIS ADJUSTS THE UPPER RIDGE PLACEMENT
SLIGHTLY...THUS ADJUSTING THE MAIN MOISTURE PLUME OVER THE STATE.
HEDGED DEWPOINT AND WIND FORECAST ACCORDINGLY FOR THE
TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY PERIOD. PUBLIC FORECASTER ALSO LOWERED
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES ACROSS THE WEST AND SHIFTED THEM MORE ACROSS
THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AND EASTERN PLAINS. CAPPING AND STEERING FLOW
CONSIDERATIONS MAY NOT BE AS MUCH OF AN ISSUE FOR THE EASTERN PLAINS
AS ORIGINALLY THOUGHT. IF THE CURRENT 0Z TO 12Z RUN SCENARIO/S
MATERIALIZE. THIS SHIFT WOULD ALSO REPRESENT MORE CLIMATOLOGICAL
SENSE ALTHOUGH THIS LATE SPRING/EARLY SUMMER HAS BEEN ANYTHING BUT
CLIMATOLOGICAL IN A NORMAL SENSE.

WINDS TONIGHT WILL ABATE SOME ONCE THE SUN GOES DOWN ACROSS MOST OF
THE LOWER ELEVATIONS ALTHOUGH THE MAIN MID LEVEL JET MAXIMUM WILL
TRANSLATE OVER THE FORECAST AREA. THIS MEANS THAT WINDS SHOULD
REMAIN UP ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN. OVERNIGHT LOWS SHOULD BE ON THE
WARMER SIDE ONCE AGAIN...ESPECIALLY FAVORING CENTRAL AND EASTERN
AREAS. THIS WILL LEAD TO POOR RECOVERIES PRETTY MUCH
AREAWIDE...ESPECIALLY WITHIN THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY AND AREAS TO THE
LEE OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS.

WINDS SHOULD COME UP QUICKLY ACROSS THE NORTHEAST
HIGHLANDS...NORTHEAST AND EAST CENTRAL PLAINS MONDAY MORNING AS THE
MAIN MID LEVEL JET MAXIMA TRANSLATES OVER THE AREA. THIS WILL ALSO
PROVIDE A WIND SHIFT FROM A MORE SOUTH/SOUTHWEST TO A WESTERLY
DIRECTION. STRONGEST WINDS SHOULD BE FOUND ALONG A LINE FROM RATON
TO CLINES CORNERS EASTWARD MONDAY MORNING. AS THE AFTERNOON
PROGRESSES...THE GRADIENT SHOULD GRADUALLY RELAX AS MORE
STABLE/COOLER AIR PUSHES IN FROM THE WEST. BREEZIER
CONDITIONS...ALTHOUGH MORE STEADY STATE WITH LESS GUST SPREADS...
SHOULD AFFECT WESTERN AND CENTRAL AREAS ON MONDAY. HUMIDITY VALUES
WILL REMAIN QUITE LOW EVEN WITH THE PROJECTED COOLING. MODELS
CONTINUE TO FORECAST AN INFLUX OF MUCH LOWER DEWPOINTS AND WOULD GO
ALONG WITH MID LEVEL DRY SLOT INFLUENCES.

ANOTHER ROUND OF POOR HUMIDITY RECOVERIES...PERHAPS REAL POOR SHOULD
AFFECT NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NEW MEXICO MONDAY NIGHT. THIS IS WHEN
THE MID LEVEL DRY SLOT SHOULD PROVIDE SIGNIFICANT AFFECTS TO THE MID
SLOPE AREAS. WINDS HOWEVER...SHOULD LOWER QUITE SIGNIFICANT COMPARED
TO THE PREVIOUS 48 HOURS.

TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY SHOULD BE MADE UP OF A BATTLE BETWEEN THE
NEXT PACIFIC LOW...WHICH IS DEPICTED TO BE AROUND 3 STANDARD
DEVIATIONS OFF THE MEAN DURING ITS INITIAL STATE...AND THE BUILDING
UPPER RIDGE OVER THE SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL PLAINS. AS MENTIONED
ABOVE...LONG RANGE MODELS ARE TRENDING TOWARDS A MORE BULLISH UPPER
LOW SOLUTION WHICH MEANS THAT THE MOISTURE PLUME SHOULD BE SHIFTED
SOME TOWARDS THE EAST. ALSO BELIEVE THAT THE MODELS ARE DOING A
BETTER JOB IN ASSESSING PWATS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS MOISTURE PLUME AS
THEY ARE TRENDING DRIER. THIS MEANS THAT THERE SHOULD BE MORE OF AN
AREA OF HIGHER BASED VIRGA SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...GENERALLY
BETWEEN THE DIVIDE AND THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AT THIS TIME. MORE OF A
MIXTURE OF WET AND DRY FURTHER EAST.

THE STEERING FLOWS FOUND BETWEEN THE RIDGE AND UPPER LOW ALSO LOOK TO
BE STRONGER AND THIS WOULD INFLUENCE THE WETTING RAIN FOOTPRINT.
STRONGER FLOWS ESSENTIALLY REDUCE THE RESIDENCE TIME OF A CELL OVER
ANY ONE AREA AND ALSO LOWERS OR SHRINKS THE MEASURABLE RAIN FOOTPRINT.
MUCH DRIER AIR WOULD BE FOUND TO THE WEST OF THE MAIN MOISTURE
PLUME AND BATTLES BETWEEN THE TWO ARE MOST FORTHCOMING. IT STILL
APPEARS THAT TEMPERATURES WOULD TREND WARMER THAN NORMAL
ESPECIALLY THE OVERNIGHT LOWS. A LITTLE MORE WIND WOULD ALSO BE
POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY FAVORING THE WESTERN THIRD. THE MAIN THREAT
AREA AT THIS TIME FOR LIGHTNING FIRE STARTS WOULD BE FOUND BETWEEN
THE DIVIDE AND THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS...ESPECIALLY LATER IN THE
WEEK BUT COULD INITIALLY IMPACT THE EAST CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST
PLAINS ON TUESDAY. THEN SHIFTING WEST AND NORTHWARD ON WEDNESDAY.

THE BREAK DOWN PHASE TO THIS SCENARIO IS STILL A LITTLE UP IN THE
AIR BUT BASED ON CLIMATOLOGY AND THE TRACK RECORD THE PAST SEVERAL
WEEKS...HAVE TO FIGURE SOMETIME OVER THE WEEKEND ALTHOUGH THE MODELS
HAVE VARIED WITH THEIR SOLUTIONS. THIS WOULD MEAN AN ENHANCED WIND
PERIOD. WILL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW MODEL TRENDS OVER THE NEXT FEW
DAYS.
