AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTION FOR 3RD PARAGRAPH
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
243 PM MDT TUE NOV 1 2011

...BIG CHANGES ON THE WAY FOR WEDNESDAY...

.DISCUSSION...
AFTER A CHAMBER OF COMMERCE DAY THE WEATHER WILL GO DOWNHILL
RATHER QUICKLY OVERNIGHT AND INTO WEDNESDAY.

A VIGOROUS UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL MOVE ACROSS THE FOUR CORNERS
OVERNIGHT AND ACROSS NORTHERN/NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO DURING
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. IN ADDITION...A POWERFUL COLD FRONT WILL RACE
SOUTH ACROSS THE FAR NORTHEAST PLAINS AROUND 06Z/MIDNIGHT AND THEN
PLUNGE SOUTH AT A QUICK CLIP THROUGH 12Z. VERY STRONG PRESSURE
RISES AND A TIGHTENING SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL CREATE VERY
STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS ESPECIALLY OVER UNION COUNTY WHERE A HIGH
WIND WARNING WILL BE ISSUED. AREAS SURROUNDING UNION COUNTY WILL
BE ADDED TO A WIND ADVISORY WHICH WILL INCLUDE I-25 FROM NEAR LAS
VEGAS NORTH TO RATON AND I-40 FROM GLEN RIO TO NEAR NEW KIRK
INCLUDING TUCUMCARI. SUSTAINED WIND SPEEDS EXCEEDING 40 MPH WITH
GUSTS BETWEEN 60 AND 70 MPH CANNOT BE RULED OUT OVER THE FAR
NORTHEAST PLAINS FOR A 2 TO POSSIBLY 4 HOUR PERIOD. THE EVENING
AND MID SHIFT MAY NEED TO CONSIDER EXPANDING THE WARNING IF THE
00Z GUIDANCE EXPANDS THE STRONG WIND FIELD.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT IN ADDITION TO THE THREAT FOR VERY
STRONG WINDS OVERNIGHT THERE WILL BE AN INCREASING CHANCE FOR A
BAND OF SNOW TO DEVELOP AS WELL. THE 12Z SHORT TERM PORTION OF THE
GFS WAS NOT AVAILABLE TODAY SO HAVE UTILIZED A BLEND OF THE NAM-
WRF AND ECMWF. BOTH INDICATE LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOWFALL FROM KRTN
TO KCAO AND ESPECIALLY ALONG THE NM/CO STATE LINE. MODERATE SNOW
FALLING INTO 40 TO 60 MPH COULD EASILY CAUSE HAVOC ON ROADWAYS
WEDNESDAY MORNING BUT ANTECEDENT TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE 70S
TODAY AND THE BEST SNOW BANDING MAY NOT OCCUR DURING THE NIGHT
BUT MORE SO DURING THE MID MORNING WITH TEMPERATURES ABOVE
FREEZING. WE CONSIDERED A WSW BUT WILL KEEP THE NPW AND HIGHLIGHT
POTENTIAL IMPACTS IF A PERIOD OF SNOW DOES DEVELOP AND CAUSE LOW
VSBYS IN BLOWING SNOW. THIS CERTAINLY NEEDS TO BE CLOSELY WATCHED
THIS EVENING...ESPECIALLY IF MORE SNOW AND COLDER TEMPERATURES WOULD
BE EXPECTED. THE SNOW EVENT OVER THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS WILL BE A
QUICK HITTER AND WE ARE NOT EXPECTING WIDESPREAD ADVISORY LEVEL
AMOUNTS BUT GENERALLY A 1 TO 3 INCH SWATH AT THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS.
LOCALIZED AMOUNTS OF 4 OR 5 INCHES MAY BE POSSIBLE ABOVE 9000 FEET.

BEHIND THE COLD FRONT...STATEWIDE TEMPERATURES WILL BE NOTICEABLY
COLDER WEDNESDAY WITH 35 TO 40 DEGREE TEMPERATURE DEPARTURES
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON OVER THE EAST CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST WITH 20 TO
30 DEGREES COOLER ELSEWHERE. OVERNIGHT WEDNESDAY INTO EARLY
THURSDAY MAY BE THE COLDEST OF THE YEAR AS WINDS DECOUPLE AND
SKIES CLEAR. OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS AND TEENS WILL BE
POSSIBLE OVER THE NORTH AND WEST WITH 20S MOST OTHER LOCATIONS.

SHORTWAVE RIDGING WILL BRING MODERATING TEMPERATURES ON THURSDAY
AND THE FIRST PART OF FRIDAY BEFORE THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM
APPROACHES FROM THE WEST LATER FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY. THIS SYSTEM
WILL INITIALLY BE FURTHER SOUTH WITH PRECIPITATION BREAKING OUT
ALONG A PACIFIC FRONT AS EARLY AS FRIDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUING INTO
SATURDAY. THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR AT LEAST LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS
OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN ALONG WITH WINDY CONDITIONS. YET ANOTHER
STORM SYSTEM WILL APPROACH BY NEXT MONDAY AND TUESDAY WITH CHANCES
FOR HIGH TERRAIN SNOWFALL AND STRONG WINDS. STAY TUNED.

KW

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE REST OF THIS AFTERNOON INTO
THE EVENING HOURS. FOLLOWING 6Z...CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE AS AN
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AND CORRESPONDING COLD FRONT PUSH INTO THE STATE.
NORTHEAST AND FAR NORTH CENTRAL AREAS WILL SEE FALLING CIGS AND
EVENTUALLY MTN TOP OBSCD AND MVFR CONDITIONS. IFR CONDITIONS SHOULD
BE MOST PRONOUNCED ACROSS THE NORTHERN SANGRES AND FAR NORTHEAST
PLAINS. THE OTHER HAZARD WILL BE STRONG WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE
COLD FRONTAL PUSH. THESE STRONG WINDS SHOULD IMPACT FMN...SAF AND
ABQ FOR A BRIEF PERIOD LATE EVENING TO EARLY MORNING BUT AM KEEPING
GUSTS BELOW 35 KT AT THIS TIME. WILL NEED TO MONITOR THAT. THE
STRONGER WINDS WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE NORTHERLY FRONTAL PUSH
ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS WEDNESDAY MORNING. TCC WILL BE IMPACTED
WITH GUSTS GREATER THAN 35 KNOTS FOR A TIME. CIGS WILL IMPROVE
DURING THE AFTERNOON AS THE SYSTEM PULLS OUT TO THE EAST. WINDS WILL
ALSO LESSEN SOME DURING THIS PERIOD.

NEXT AVIATION DISCUSSION SCHEDULED FOR 09Z. 50

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
FAST MOVING STORM SYSTEM CURRENTLY OVER THE GREAT BASIN AND CENTRAL
ROCKIES WILL PUSH ACROSS THE STATE LATER TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. NO
CHANGES IN THE MODEL FORECAST...STILL LOOKING FOR SOME MODERATE SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS ACROSS THE FAR NORTH CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AND NORTHEAST
PLAINS FAVORING THE COLORADO BORDER AREA LATER TONIGHT INTO
WEDNESDAY MORNING. DRY CONDITIONS ELSEWHERE. TEMPERATURES WILL
CERTAINLY COOL DOWN...ESPECIALLY FOR WEDNESDAY/S HIGHS AS COMPARED
TO TODAY/S READINGS. THIS WILL LEAD TO MUCH HIGHER HUMIDITIES BY 5
TO 15 PERCENT WESTERN HALF AND 20 TO 40 PERCENT EASTERN HALF. HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL BE 15 TO 20 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL EAST AND 10 TO 15
DEGREES BELOW NORMAL WEST.

WINDS WILL BE PRETTY PRONOUNCED WITH THE ABOVE MENTIONED STORM
SYSTEM WITH THE INITIAL TRADITIONAL PACIFIC COLD FRONT SWEEPING
ACROSS THE AREA FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT.
A RIBBON OF STRONG WINDS FOR 20 MINUTES TO A HOUR WILL BE ASSOCIATED
WITH THIS COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE. THE STRONGEST WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH
THIS FRONT WILL BE FOUND ACROSS THE NORTHWEST PLATEAU...NORTHWEST
MOUNTAINS AND UPPER AND MIDDLE RIO GRANDE VALLEY. THE SECOND COLD
FRONT WILL SWING IN FROM THE FRONT RANGE OF COLORADO LATE TONIGHT
AND PROVIDE STRONG TO VERY STRONG WINDS GUSTS ACROSS THE EASTERN
PLAINS...FAVORING THE NORTHEAST AND EAST CENTRAL PLAINS.

MODELS STILL SHOW SHORTWAVE RIDGING ON THURSDAY WITH DRYING AND
WARMING AS ANOTHER VIGOROUS PACIFIC TROUGH DIGS INTO THE WESTERN
TIER OF THE US. A FEW BREEZES WILL BE FELT ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS
BUT MUCH LIGHTER WINDS THURSDAY VERSUS WEDNESDAY. HIGH TEMPERATURES
WILL STILL BE WELL BELOW NORMAL ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS AND NEAR
NORMAL FAR WEST...NEAR THE ARIZONA BORDER. VENTILATION LOOKS TO BE
VARIED ACROSS THE AREA WITH LOWER READINGS CENTRAL AREAS. BETTER
VENTILATION APPEARS TO BE ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS AND WESTERN
MOUNTAINS.

MODELS REMAIN CONSISTENT WITH INCREASING MID LEVEL WINDS ON FRIDAY
AHEAD OF THE SECOND STORM SYSTEM. THIS WIND GRADIENT LOOKS TO BE
SUBSTANTIAL WITH A STRONG LOW PRESSURE PRESENCE FOUND OVER COLORADO.
THIS MEANS THAT WINDS AT THE SURFACE WILL GENERALLY BE
SOUTH/SOUTHWEST AND INCREASE PRETTY SIGNIFICANTLY AS THE DAY
PROGRESSES. FAVORED AREAS LOOK TO BE FOUND ACROSS THE FAR
WEST...PORTIONS OF THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY AND AREAS IMMEDIATE TO THE
LEE OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS. CERTAINLY...SOME LOCALIZED CRITICAL
CONDITIONS IN TERMS OF FIRE GROWTH COULD OCCUR BETWEEN SPRINGER TO
CLINES CORNERS BUT OUR GRIDDED FORECAST IS STILL SHOWING HIGHER RH
VALUES. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR BECAUSE MECHANICAL MIXING AND
COMPRESSIONAL DOWNSLOPING CAN LEAD TO ADJUSTMENTS TO THE TEMPERATURE
AND DEWPOINTS THAT COULD REFLECT LOWER HUMIDITY IN TIME. AS ONE CAN
EXPECT...VENTILATION WILL BE EXCELLENT AREAWIDE.

MODELS STILL BULLISH WITH BRINGING A PACIFIC COLD FRONT AND
ASSOCIATED PRECIPITATION BAND INTO WESTERN AREAS FRIDAY NIGHT INTO
SATURDAY MORNING. THUS THE BEST POTENTIAL FOR WETTING PRECIPITATION
WILL BE FOUND ACROSS THE WESTERN THIRD TO HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA.
HIGHLY CONFIDENT...BASED ON RECENT MODELS TRENDS AND CONSISTENCY
THAT WETTING PRECIPITATION WILL AFFECT THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE AREA.
THE SYSTEM WILL BE ANOTHER QUICK HITTER AND EXIT RAPIDLY TO THE EAST
DURING THE DAY PERIOD ON SATURDAY. WINDS WILL REMAIN HEFTY IN
AREAS...ESPECIALLY EASTERN PLAINS SO CANT RULE OUT 1 TO 2 HOURS OF
CRITICAL CONDITIONS ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS AND PERHAPS EAST
CENTRAL PLAINS NEAR TO THE CANADIAN RIVER VALLEY.

RESIDUAL...STRONG WINDS ALOFT WILL REMAIN FOLLOWING THE SYSTEM
PASSAGE ON SUNDAY. THUS LOOK FOR SOME CONTINUED BREEZINESS ACROSS
THE AREA. VENTILATION WILL REMAIN PRETTY GOOD ON SUNDAY WITH A WEAK
DRYING AND WARMING TREND. TEMPERATURES HOWEVER WILL REMAIN BELOW
NORMAL.

MODELS STILL DEPICT A THIRD SYSTEM PASSAGE FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK. WAY
TOO EARLY TO TELL WETTING PRECIPITATION POTENTIAL BUT THEY HAVE BEEN
SHOWING SOME SORT OF BETTER GULF TAP AS OF THE PAST FEW RUNS.
ALTHOUGH THIS GULF TAP APPEARS TO BE TOO FAR TO THE EAST TO AFFECT
MUCH OF THE EASTERN PLAINS. EITHER WAY...WEATHER APPEARS TO BE
UNSETTLED TO START EARLY NEXT WEEK OUT AND THE MODELS HAVE BEEN
SHOWING THIS FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS SO CONFIDENCE IS AT LEAST
MODERATE.
