AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
300 AM MST FRI NOV 18 2011

.DISCUSSION...
WHILE THE GENERAL PATTERN REMAINS MORE OR LESS SIMILAR FOR TODAY
THROUGH TUESDAY...THE DETAILS HAVE BECOME LESS SIMILAR BETWEEN
MODELS AND FROM MODEL RUN TO MODEL RUN.

FORECAST POPS CONTINUE TO TAPER OFF OVER THE NORTHWEST CORNER THIS
WEEKEND SO IT APPEARS THAT IF THERE IS ANY PRECIPITATION IT WILL BE
RATHER SPARSE...THAT IS IF THE MODEL TRENDS CONTINUE. IN
ADDITION...DAYTIME TEMPERATURES FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS DON/T
STRAY TOO FAR FROM NORMAL...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF TODAY AND SATURDAY
WHEN HIGHS WILL RANGE FROM 5 TO AROUND 10 DEGREES ABOVE AVERAGE IN
THE EASTERN PLAINS. THAT/S IF MID AND HIGH CLOUDS DON/T GET TOO
THICK...WHICH AT THE MOMENT MODELS HAVEN/T DETECTED THE LEE
CLOUDINESS CURRENTLY OVER NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO.

POTENTIAL FOR HIGH WIND CRITERIA PERSISTS...ALTHOUGH AT FIRST GLANCE
IT DOESN/T APPEAR TO BE QUITE AS GOOD AS 24 HOURS AGO. H7 WINDS
STILL STRENGTHEN THIS EVENING AND INTO SATURDAY MORNING BEFORE
DIMINISHING SATURDAY AFTERNOON. WINDS ACROSS THE EAST CENTRAL
PLAINS...NORTHEAST AND CENTRAL HIGHLANDS LOOK TO MEET WIND ADVY
CRITERIA SATURDAY...THEREFORE HAVE DECIDED TO KEEP THE HIGHLIGHTS
SIMPLE AND STICK TO WIND ADVY FOR A PORTION OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN
CHAIN AND NORTHEAST...AND LET LATER SHIFTS UPGRADE TO HIGH WIND IF
NEEDED.

THE SPEED OF THE SURFACE FRONT ON SATURDAY IS NOW SLOWER...AND THERE
IS LITTLE UPSLOPE FLOW FORECAST AT ALL THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.
HOWEVER...THE SURFACE LOW SETS UP OVER SOUTHEAST NM SUNDAY INTO
MONDAY...WHICH ALLOWS FOR LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TO BE TRANSPORTED INTO
THE SOUTHEAST AND EAST CENTRAL. THE TRACK OF THE UPPER LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM...OR WHAT/S LEFT OF IT...IS NOW FASTER PER THE GFS AND OUTTA
HERE BY 12Z TUE. THE 00Z ECMWF IS FASTER NOW TOO...AND NO LONGER
INDICATES THE CLOSED LOW PASSING OVER THE STATE. LI/S HAVE BECOME
MORE NEGATIVE OVER THE EAST CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST PLAINS ON
MONDAY...AND WX GRIDS HAVE THUNDER FOR THAT REGION. ANOTHER SYSTEM
PASSES THROUGH SOMETIME DURING THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY. COULD BE
MORE WIND THAN PCPN THOUGH.

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS PREVAIL ALL AIRPORTS. EXPECT SW WINDS GUSTS UP TO 35
KTS MAINLY ALONG I-40 AFTER 19Z TODAY. WINDS WILL INCREASE OVER MT
TOPS THRU TONIGHT THEN SPREAD INTO THE EASTERN PLAINS SATURDAY WHERE
GUSTS UP TO 45KTS ARE EXPECTED BY LATE MORNING IN THE VCNTY OF I-40.

NEXT AVIATION DISCUSSION SCHEDULED FOR 22Z.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
THE CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER GROWTH PERIOD IS TAKING SHAPE FOR TODAY
AND SATURDAY. WINDS ARE INCREASING OVER MOUNTAIN TOPS AND OVER THE
EASTERN PLAINS. RECOVERIES THIS MORNING ARE AVERAGING ONLY FAIR
ACROSS THE EAST...AND VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT ACROSS NORTHERN AND
WESTERN VALLEYS. THE HIGHEST CONFIDENCE FOR 3 TO 4 HOURS OF CRITICAL
FIRE WX CONDITIONS WILL EXTEND MAINLY ALONG AND IMMEDIATELY NORTH OF
THE I-40 CORRIDOR...THEREFORE HAVE UPGRADED TO A RED FLAG. MIN RH
VALUES ARE IN THE 13-15PCT RANGE AND 20 FT WINDS IN THE 20-25MPH
RANGE SO NOT A REAL SIGNIFICANT RED FLAG BUT NONETHELESS SEVERAL
HOURS ARE EXPECTED. A DECENT BATCH OF HIGH CLOUDS SPREADING OVER THE
REGION TODAY COULD BE THE LIMITING FACTOR ON THE SIZE OF THE
CRITICAL AREA.

MT TOP WINDS WILL INCREASE TONIGHT THEN SPREAD INTO THE EASTERN
PLAINS AGAIN SATURDAY. RECOVERIES TONIGHT WILL BE ON THE LOW END
OF FAIR WITH MOST AREAS HOVERING IN THE 40 PCT RANGE. ANOTHER BATCH
OF HIGH CLOUDS WILL SPREAD OVER THE REGION SATURDAY WHICH MAY LIMIT
THE AREAL EXTENT OF CRITICAL CONDITIONS. HOWEVER MIN RH VALUES AND
20 FT WINDS ARE MORE COMFORTABLY WITHIN CRITERIA SO WILL UPGRADE
THE EAST FOR SATURDAY AS WELL. VENTILATION THROUGH THE SATURDAY
PERIOD WILL NOT BE AN ISSUE.

SUNDAY AND MONDAY WILL BE THE TRICKY PERIOD FOR WINDS/RH VALUES
AS MENTIONED BY OUR IMET FRIDAY AFTERNOON. A STORM SYSTEM DIVING
SOUTH DOWN THE CA COASTLINE WILL MAKE THE TURN ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST
AND WASH OUT ACROSS OUR REGION. ENOUGH MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY IS
EXPECTED TO MAKE IT INTO THE THE SE PLAINS FOR SOME THUNDERSTORMS
PRODUCING SCATTERED WETTING RAINFALL AMOUNTS. THE BIG QUESTION WILL
BE HOW MUCH PRECIP ACTIVITY CAN SPREAD INTO THE WESTERN AND NORTHERN
TIER BEFORE THE SYSTEM LOSES TOO MUCH ENERGY. NONETHELESS...TEMPS
WILL TREND COOLER...RH VALUES WILL TREND UP...AND WINDS LIGHTER
THAN FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. VENT RATES WILL LIKELY DETERIORATE TO AT
LEAST FAIR FOR MOST.

MODELS DO AGREE IN THE EXTENDED FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY A RIDGE
WILL DEVELOP OVER THE AREA AND BRING MILDER TEMPERATURES AND LIGHTER
WINDS. ANOTHER SYSTEM APPROACHING THE AREA FOR THE THANKSGIVING TIME
PERIOD MAY INCREASE WINDS AND FIRE WEATHER POTENTIAL AGAIN.
