AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
941 PM MST SUN JAN 30 2011

.UPDATE...WILL GO AHEAD AND UPGRADE SEVERAL ZONES TO A WINTER
STORM WARNING...NAMELY THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS...NORTHEAST
HIGHLANDS...AND CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AND HIGHLANDS. THESE REPRESENT
HIGHEST CONFIDENCE AREAS FOR HIGH SNOW ACCUMULATIONS. TIMING WILL
CERTAINLY BE TRICKY...WITH DIFFERENT ZONES DETERIORATING AT
DIFFERENT RATES DUE TO PASSAGE OF FIRST SWATH OF UPPER LEVEL
DYNAMICS AND THEN FRONTOGENETICAL AND UPSLOPE FORCING MONDAY NIGHT.
WILL KEEP PRODUCT WITH AS FEW SEGMENTS AS POSSIBLE TO SIMPLIFY
THINGS...BUT BE COGNIZANT THAT THE ONSET OF HEAVIER SNOW INTO
MONDAY NIGHT WILL BE VARIABLE ACROSS THE AREA. FORECASTED
TEMPERATURES AT H7 CONTINUE TO MIMIC AN H5 CHART...AND THIS WILL
CERTAINLY BE A MONUMENTAL COLD SPELL FOR THE STATE. NEW WINTER
STORM WARNING WILL BE OUT SHORTLY WITH UPDATED ZONES TO FOLLOW.

52

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...300 PM MST SUN JAN 30 2011...
POTENTIALLY RECORD BREAKING COLD...DANGEROUSLY COLD
WIND CHILLS...AND ACCUMULATING SNOW TO IMPACT THE FORECAST AREA
MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

BOUNDARY WHICH BACKED INTO THE BORDER AREA FROM KCAO TO KCVN
OVERNIGHT HAS RETREATED THIS AFTERNOON. THIS WILL RETURN AGAIN
TONIGHT/MONDAY...BRINGING SOME COLDER AIR WITH IT.

INITIAL BOUT OF SNOW IN THE FAR WEST WITH FIRST SYSTEM ON MONDAY
SHOULD TAPER OFF SOME BY LATE MONDAY NIGHT...BUT MAY PICK UP AGAIN
BY TUESDAY EVENING AS SIGNIFICANT COOLING OCCURS AND LOW LEVEL
WINDS SHIFT TO EASTERLY. THE POSITION OF THE SECOND...AND DEVELOPING
UPPER LOW MAKES UPGRADING THE WATCH OVER MUCH OF THE WEST VERY
TRICKY AT THIS TIME. SAME GOES FOR THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY. SOUTHEAST
TO EAST WIND MAY BEGIN TO LEAK INTO THE REGION LATE MONDAY NIGHT AS
THE NORTHEAST WINDS DEEPEN TO 725-700 MB BY 12Z TUE.

POTENTIALLY RECORD BREAKING COLD IN THE NORTHEAST/NORTHCENTRAL AS
FORECAST HIGHS...BASED ON THE MEX...CONTINUE TO DROP INTO THE SINGLE
DIGITS...WITH LOWS WEDNESDAY NIGHT NEAR 20 BELOW ZERO. WIND CHILLS
LATER MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY WILL BE NEAR 20 DEGREES BELOW AS
WELL...AND BLOWING SNOW MAY MAKE FOR DANGEROUS TRAVEL OVER THE
NORTHEAST...ESPECIALLY ON THE KRTN TO KCAO ROUTE.

700 MB TEMPS OF AROUND -20 DEGREES FORECAST EVEN OVER THE RIO GRANDE
VALLEY AND WESTWARD BY WEDNESDAY AS THE SECOND UPPER LOW MOVES
OVERHEAD. HIGHS A WHOPPING 25 TO 40 DEGREES BELOW AVERAGE ARE
FORECAST WEDNESDAY...WHICH IS SCARY.  SOME MODERATION IN THE COLD
COMES BY FRIDAY...BUT ANOTHER STORM...PACKING ANOTHER ARCTIC AIR
MASS...COULD PLUNGE INTO THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN ROCKIES EARLY NEXT
WEEK.

.AVIATION...ONLY ISSUES FOR AVIATORS TODAY ARE HIGH CLOUDS AND
OCCASIONAL MOUNTAIN INDUCED TURBULENCE AS MIDDLE TO HIGHER LEVER
WEST TO SOUTHWEST WINDS 20 TO 40 KNOT FLOW OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN.
ALL TERMINALS VFR THROUGH TONIGHT.  ON MONDAY CONDITIONS WILL
GRADUALLY DETERIORATE WITH INITIAL MOUNTAIN TOP OBSCURATIONS EARLY
TO MID MORNING...FOLLOWED BY MVFR CONDITIONS DUE TO PRECIPITATION
ACROSS BEGINNING FIRST ACROSS THE WEST AND NORTH AROUND SUNRISE THEN
SPREADING EAST THROUGHOUT THE DAY.  CONDITIONS DETERIORATE FURTHER
WITH IFR CONDITIONS LIKELY BOTH TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.

NEXT AVIATION DISCUSSION SCHEDULED FOR 10Z.

.FIRE WEATHER...A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE WEATHER BEGINNING MONDAY
CONTINUING THROUGH THURSDAY. WETTING PRECIPITATION LIKELY AND SHOULD
SPREAD OVER MOST OF THE AREA. IN ADDITION...A SIGNIFICANT COOL DOWN
IS A CERTAINTY.

TODAY...UPPER FLOW WILL BECOME WESTERLY BY THIS AFTERNOON. AT THE
SAME TIME THE WIND SHIFT ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE EASTERN PLAINS WILL
GRADUALLY MIX OUT AND SWITCH BACK TO A MORE SOUTH/SOUTHWEST
INFLUENCE. SOME BREEZINESS IS EXPECTED OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN AND
AREAS TO THE LEE OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS. THIS SAME BREEZINESS
SHOULD COMBINE WITH NEAR CRITICAL RH VALUES ACROSS PORTIONS OF
GUADALUPE COUNTY TO GENERATE 1 TO POSSIBLY 2 HOURS OF CRITICAL FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL
ACROSS THE MAJORITY OF THE AREA.

TOMORROW WILL BE A WEATHER TRANSITION DAY AS PRECIPITATION FROM THE
FIRST OF TWO UPPER LOWS BEGINS TO AFFECT WESTERN AND NORTHERN AREAS.
THE INITIAL BACK DOOR COLD FRONT SHOULD SPREAD PRECIPITATION INTO
PORTIONS OF THE NORTHEAST AND EAST CENTRAL PLAINS AS WELL AS THE
EAST SLOPES OF THE SANGRE DE CRISTOS LATER ON MONDAY. A THICKER
CLOUD COVER SHOULD OVERSPREAD MOST OF THE AREA ON MONDAY WITH SOME
BREEZINESS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER. CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS ARE NOT ANTICIPATED AT THIS TIME.

A MODIFIED ARCTIC AIRMASS WILL MOVE FROM THE NORTHEAST HIGHLANDS
MONDAY AFTERNOON WEST AND SOUTH ACROSS THE STATE THROUGH TUESDAY.
AS A RESULT...EAST CANYON WINDS ARE LIKELY AS EARLY AS MONDAY
EVENING BUT FIRMLY IN PLACE BY TUESDAY MORNING. THE SURFACE PRESSURE
GRADIENT INDICATES AT LEAST BRISK EAST WIND CONDITIONS MONDAY NIGHT
INTO TUESDAY. SIGNIFICANT UPSLOPE PRECIPITATION EVENT WILL DEVELOP
ALONG THE EAST SLOPES OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AND EVENTUALLY
PORTIONS OF THE JEMEZ MOUNTAINS DURING THE MONDAY NIGHT PERIOD.

THE CONVERGENCE ZONE ASSOCIATED WITH THE EAST CANYON SURGE SHOULD
PUSH WEST THROUGH THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY GENERATING THE LIKELIHOOD OF
SOME INTENSE BANDED PRECIPITATION ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL AREAS...WHICH
MAY COINCIDE WITH THE SECOND UPPER LOW DIGGING SOUTH THROUGH THE
STATE BRINGING A SIGNIFICANT DIFFLUENCE OR POSITIVE LIFT FIELD ALOFT
WHICH WOULD AID IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF PRECIPITATION...ALL IN THE
FORM OF SNOW TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT. AT THIS TIME...WETTING SNOW
WOULD BE MOST FOCUSED BETWEEN THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE AND RIO GRANDE
VALLEY DURING THE TUESDAY TIME FRAME AS SNOWFALL BECOMES LESS
PREVALENT ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE EAST. THIS SNOWFALL IS EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE INTO TUESDAY NIGHT AND PERHAPS WEDNESDAY.  MODEL TRENDS
INDICATE A SNOW SIGNIFICANT EVENT COMBINED WITH DANGEROUSLY LOW
TEMPERATURES. LATEST MODELS SHOW PRECIPITATION WINDING DOWN BY
ACROSS NORTHERN SECTIONS OF THE STATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND LINGERING
ACROSS SOUTHERN SECTIONS THROUGH THURSDAY. DRIER BUT COOL CONDITIONS
SHOULD REMAIN THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

HUMIDITY VALUES THROUGH MOST OF THE WEEK SHOULD BE ON THE HIGH
SIDE...EVEN ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AS ONE WOULD EXPECT SOME SNOW
MELT AND/OR SUBLIMATION DUE TO ANTICIPATED SNOW COVER. BUILT IN SOME
OF THIS SNOW MELT WITHIN THE GRIDDED DEWPOINT FORECAST. AS MENTIONED
ABOVE...TEMPERATURES WILL BE COOLER THAN NORMAL WITH SOME READINGS
AS MUCH AS 45 BELOW NORMAL ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS AND NEAR 35
BELOW NORMAL ACROSS THE WEST...ESPECIALLY FOCUSED ON WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY.

VENTILATION WILL BE HIGHER THROUGH TOMORROW BUT GRADUALLY TREND
DOWN...ESPECIALLY WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY AS THE MODIFIED ARCTIC
INTRUSION MAKES ITS WAY SOUTH AND WESTWARD.

THE UPCOMING WEEKEND LOOKS TO BEGIN DRY WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES A FEW
DEGREES BELOW NORMAL AT THE START THEN BECOMES UNSETTLED AND COLDER
AS A ANOTHER TROUGH ALOFT DROPS INTO THE STATE FROM THE NORTH AND A
ANOTHER SURFACE ARCTIC AIRMASS INFILTRATES THE STATE SUNDAY
AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.
