AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
310 PM MST TUE FEB 8 2011

.DISCUSSION...
WINTER STORM IS COOPERATING FAIRLY WELL WITH FCST BUT...AS
PREVIOUS SHIFT SUSPECTED...THE WINTER WX ADVISORY FOR FAR NW AND W
CENTRAL NM...ZONES 501...502 AND 505 WILL BE CANCELLED AS OF 3 PM.
SNOW BANDS HAVE LARGELY CLEARED THOSE AREAS. OTHER ZONES W OF
CENTRAL MTN CHAIN IN WINTER WARNINGS AND ADVISORIES WILL HAVE
EXPIRATION TIMES SHAVED BACK TO 07Z...WHILE REMAINING HIGHLIGHTED
ZONES WILL BE KEPT AT A 15Z EXPIRATION. LATTER MAY WELL BE OVER
WITH BY 11Z OR 12Z...BUT WILL LEAVE THAT POTENTIAL TRIMMING FOR
LATER SHIFT SO THAT TRENDS CAN BE CONSIDERED. BACK DOOR COLD
FRONT THROUGH GAP BETWEEN SANGRES AND SANDIAS...ALL THE WAY TO THE
JEMEZ RANGE AS OF MID AFTERNOON...BUT HAVING A LITTLE TROUBLE
SQUEEZING THROUGH PASSES/CANYONS OF SANDIAS AND MANZANOS AS STIFF
W TO NW WIND AHEAD OF FRONT SEEMS TO BE HOLDING IT UP A BIT. ONE
OF THE AREAS OF BIGGER CONCERN REGARDING SNOW ACCUM IS...AS IS
OFTEN THE CASE...THE NOTORIOUSLY TOUGH TO CALL MIDDLE RIO GRANDE
VALLEY. WILL DOWNPLAY AMOUNTS THERE A BIT... WHILE EMPHASIZING
GREATER AMOUNTS TO N...FOOTHILLS AND W MESA. STILL LOOKING FOR A
FEW FRONTOGENETICALLY INDUCED BANDS TO DVLP ACROSS AND E OF ABQ
METRO AREA TO HELP WITH ACCUM THOSE AREAS. IF MINIMAL OR
NONEXISTENT...THEN AMTS WILL BE LOWER THAN INDICATED BY AT LEAST 1
TO 3 INCHES.

DRY AND WARMER FOR THU AND FRI...WARMER STILL FOR WEEKEND AND INTO
EARLY TO MID WEEK NEXT WEEK WITH PATTERN CHANGE TO MORE W TO SW
FLOW ALOFT. IN FACT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MANY WEEKS DAYTIME HIGHS
MAY REACH TO ABOVE NORMAL VALUES.

43

&&

.AVIATION...
MVFR AND IFR ASSOCIATED WITH SNOWFALL WILL IMPACT CENTRAL AND
EASTERN AREAS THROUGH THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON AND TRANSITION SOUTH
AND EASTWARD ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THIS EVENING. THIS IS MAINLY
DUE TO A DOUBLE PUNCH FROM COLD FRONTS ORIGINATING FROM THE GREAT
BASIN AND HIGH PLAINS. CONDITIONS WILL GRADUALLY IMPROVE FROM
NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST AS THE BAND OF PRECIPITATION DIMINISHES MID
EVENING TO EARLY MORNING ON WEDNESDAY. WINDS WILL ALSO BE AN ISSUE
AT SOME LOCATIONS...ESPECIALLY AT ABQ THROUGH THE NEXT FEW HOURS.
MAINLY DUE TO A COMBINATION OF EAST CANYON WINDS FROM THE COLD AIR
POOL IN THE EAST TO STRONGER WINDS ASSOCIATED THE APPROACHING FRONT
AND SHOWERS TO THE WEST/NORTHWEST. MUCH BETTER AVIATION CONDITIONS
EXPECTED ON WEDNESDAY WITH GENERALLY VFR RESULTS ALTHOUGH A FEW SNOW
SHOWERS COULD BE FOUND ACROSS THE NORTH CENTRAL MTNS.

NEXT AVIATION DISCUSSION SCHEDULED FOR 10Z. 50

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
MAIN IMPACT AFTER TODAY WILL CONTINUE TO BE POORER VENTILATION AS
THE LATEST MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW POOR MAX RATES WEDNESDAY THROUGH
EARLY NEXT WEEK. ONE CAVEAT TO THIS IS THAT THE LATEST MODELS SHOW A
STRONGER NORTHWEST WIND FLOW THURSDAY AFTERNOON ACROSS CENTRAL
PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. THESE HIGHER VENT RATES WILL BE FOUND
MAINLY ALONG A LINE FROM FARMINGTON TO CHUPADERA MESA/CIBOLA
MOUNTAINAIR DISTRICT. THE POORER VENTILATION IS INITIALLY DUE TO
POST COLD FRONTAL INVERSION EFFECTS BUT WILL GRADUALLY TRANSCEND TO
UPPER RIDGING EFFECTS OVER THE STATE.

AS FAR AS THE REST OF TODAY...BAND OF PRECIPITATION MAINLY SNOWFALL
WILL CONTINUE TO SAG SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. RESULTS
WILL BE A MIX OF WETTING AND MEASURABLE SNOWFALL. THE LEAST CHANCE
FOR WETTING PRECIPITATION WILL BE FOUND ACROSS THE SOCORRO BLM
DISTRICT. COLD TEMPERATURES WILL BE THE OTHER WEATHER STORY AS
SINGLE DIGIT NUMBERS HAVE FLOWED INTO THE EASTERN PLAINS. THESE
COOLER TEMPERATURES WILL TRAVERSE WESTWARD ALTHOUGH THE MAIN COLD
AIR MASS WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE EAST. THUS...MAKING THIS EVENT
DIFFERENT THAN THE ONE THAT AFFECTED THE STATE A WEEK AGO.

A FEW LIGHTER SNOW SHOWERS MAY REMAIN ACROSS THE NORTH CENTRAL
MOUNTAINS BUT OTHERWISE...DRIER BUT COOL CONDITIONS WILL OVERTAKE
THE FORECAST AREA ON WEDNESDAY. HUMIDITY VALUES WILL GENERALLY TREND
DOWN MOST AREAS BUT TEMPERATURES WILL BE 20 TO 35 DEGREES BELOW
NORMAL.

WEATHER MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW A NORTHWEST FLOW OVER THE STATE ON
THURSDAY BUT THEY HAVE BEEFED UP THE STRENGTH OF THIS FLOW.
THUS...HAVE INCREASED SURFACE WINDS SLIGHTLY ACROSS CENTRAL PORTIONS
OF THE STATE. THIS HAS ALSO BUMPED UP VENTILATION RESULTS AS
MENTIONED ABOVE. TEMPERATURES WILL WARM...GENERALLY BETWEEN 5 TO 10
DEGREES COMPARED TO WEDNESDAY/S RESULTS. HIGH TEMPERATURES HOWEVER
WILL REMAIN 15 TO 25 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. THE COOLEST MORNINGS WILL
EQUALLY BE SHARED BY BOTH WED AND THUR. DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF A
STRONGER MID LEVEL DRY SLOT...HUMIDITY VALUES SHOULD CONTINUE TO
FALL SOME BUT ESPECIALLY OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN WHERE THE DRY SLOT
WOULD PROVIDE THE MOST PRONOUNCED AFFECTS. DEWPOINT FORECAST
HOWEVER...WILL BE TRICKY...NOT ONLY THURSDAY BUT FRIDAY DUE TO
MELTING AND SUBLIMATING SNOW.

A DRIER NORTHWEST FLOW WILL CONTINUE OVER THE STATE ON FRIDAY.
VENTILATION WILL REMAIN POOR ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA AND
TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO WARM...AND BE A LITTLE CLOSER TO
NORMAL.

MODELS CONTINUE TO TREND TOWARDS AN UPPER RIDGING AFFECT OVER THE
THE WEEKEND ALTHOUGH THEY ARE DEPICTING SOME SORT OF WEAK WAVE
PASSAGE OR DISTURBANCE OVER THE STATE ON SUNDAY. TIMING OF THIS
DISTURBANCE IS A LITTLE MORE IN QUESTION ALTHOUGH ALL OF THE MODELS
SHOW DRY CONDITIONS. THIS IS NOT BUILT INTO THE VENTILATION FORECAST
CURRENTLY BUT COULD HELP SOME AREAS...ESPECIALLY THE HIGHER RIDGES
AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE DAY.

LONG RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO HINT TOWARDS SOME SORT OF PATTERN
CHANGE INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE FLOW APPEARS TO BE SLIGHT RIDGING
OR A NEAR ZONAL PATTERN. THIS MEANS WARMER TEMPERATURES AND DRIER
CONDITIONS WITH SOME LEE SIDE SURFACE TROUGHING ACROSS THE EASTERN
PLAINS.
