AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
345 AM MST SUN FEB 19 2012

.DISCUSSION...

...WIDESPREAD BLAST OF COLD TEMPERATURES AND NORTHERN TIER SNOW...

MID AND UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE IS INCREASING ACROSS NM IN ASSCN WITH
THE ARRIVAL OF OUR NEXT WINTER STORM SYSTEM. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
ACROSS THE FAR EASTERN PLAINS IN THE FORM OF FREEZING FOG ALONG THE
TX STATE LINE WILL GET THE BOOT EARLY AS MODEST LEE TROUGHING TAKES
SHAPE OVER THE AREA. MODEL CONSENSUS IS BETTER THIS MORNING WITH
THE CORE OF THE UPPER WAVE PASSING ALONG THE CO/NM BORDER THRU
MONDAY MORNING. STRONG SW FLOW AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM AND 150PCT OF
NORMAL PWAT VALUES WILL ALLOW RAIN/SNOW TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON
OVER THE NW CORNER. 700MB AND 1000-500MB THICKNESS VALUES FALL
DRAMATICALLY BY LATE IN THE DAY THUS SNOW LEVELS WILL FALL VERY
QUICKLY BY MID AFTERNOON. ALSO ADDED THUNDER INTO WEST CENTRAL
AREAS AS LIFTED INDICES NEAR -1.5C COMBINE WITH STEEP LAPSE RATES
AND CAPE NEAR 500J/KG.

COLD AIR ADVECTION REALLY SLAMS THE REGION THIS EVENING WITHIN THE
BASE OF A DEEPENING 538DM H5 CLOSED LOW. THE DENDRITIC GROWTH ZONE
LAYER WILL COINCIDE WITH THE BEST MOISTURE AND UPSLOPE FLOW OVER
THE NORTHERN MTS SO HAVE OPTED TO UPGRADE TO WARNING FOR THE SAN
JUANS AND THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE SANGRES THRU MONDAY MORNING.
ADVISORIES WILL BLANKET THE SURROUNDING AREAS. THE BIG IMPACT WITH
THIS STORM WILL BE THE WINDS WITH BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW AND MUCH
COLDER TEMPS. THE MAIN WINDOW FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW
FOR THE NORTHERN MTS WILL BE BTWN 6PM THIS EVENING AND 3 AM MONDAY.
THE WIND THEN TRANSITIONS TO THE NE PLAINS WHERE HIGH WINDS ARE
POSSIBLE FROM KCQC TO KTCC AND KCVS. WILL ALSO HOIST A HIGH WIND
WATCH FOR THAT AREA.

AFTER A VERY ACTIVE PERIOD TODAY AND TOMORROW THE OVERALL WEATHER
PATTERN WILL QUIET DOWN. SEVERAL WEAK WAVES WILL TRAVERSE THE
NORTHERN HALF OF THE AREA ON MODEST NW FLOW THROUGH THE END OF
THE WEEK. TEMPS WILL START OUT BELOW NORMAL THEN GRADUALLY MODIFY
TO NEAR NORMAL BY THE END OF THE WEEK...EXCEPT FOR THE NE PLAINS
WHERE A BACK DOOR FRONT WILL REINFORCE COLDER TEMPS THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY.

.AVIATION...
MVFR/IFR CIGS/VSBYS IN BR/FZFG AND LIGHT PRECIPITATION AT 09Z ALONG
AND EAST OF THE PECOS RIVER VALLEY WILL SLOWLY ERODE FROM WEST TO
EAST AFTER 13Z AS SURFACE LEE TROUGH STRENGTHENS. SOUTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT TO STRENGTHEN THROUGHOUT THE DAY AS UPPER TROUGH TRACKS INTO
FOUR CORNERS REGION...AND LOWER ELEVATION RAIN AND SNOW AND MOUNTAIN
SNOW DEVELOP OVER THE SANGRE DE CRISTO MOUNTAINS TO THE SOUTHWEST
MOUNTAINS AND WEST TO THE ARIZONA BORDER. EXPECT MOUNTAINS TO BECOME
OCCASIONALLY OBSCURED OVER THIS REGION WHERE ISOLATED THUNDER IS

...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS POSSIBLE OVER MUCH OF THE
EASTERN PLAINS MONDAY...
...LOCALIZED CRITICAL CONDITIONS POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON OVER THE
EASTERN PLAINS...

LOW CLOUDS AND FOG IN THE EASTERN PLAINS THIS MORNING ARE EXPECTED
TO ERODE AS AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH APPROACHES THE FOUR CORNERS REGION
FROM THE WEST AND SURFACE LEE TROUGH STRENGTHENS. LOWER ELEVATION
RAIN AND SNOW AND MOUNTAIN SNOW SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME MORE
WIDESPREAD OVER THE WEST AND NORTH AS THE DAY PROGRESSES AND THEN
OVER THE NORTH TONIGHT. SOME SNOW ACCUMULATIONS POSSIBLE OVER THE
NORTHERN MOUNTAINS THROUGH THIS PERIOD DUE TO STRONG AND MOIST
WESTERLY FLOW.

AS MOUNTAIN TOP WINDS STRENGTHEN AND THE LEE TROUGH DEEPENS...SO
DOES POTENTIAL FOR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS. LOCALIZED
CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON MAINLY OVER THE EASTERN
PLAINS AS MINIMUM RH VALUES RANGE FROM NEAR 15 TO 20 PERCENT. WINDS
INCREASE OVERNIGHT AND FORECAST MODELS SUGGEST WILL REACH THEIR PEAK
SOMETIME BETWEEN EARLY MORNING MONDAY AND MID AFTERNOON. GUSTS TO
AROUND 55 OR 60 MPH ARE POSSIBLE ALONG THE EAST SLOPES OF THE
