The facts

Issued: Apr 9, 2012, 6:28 PM MDT (00:28 UTC)
Expired: Apr 9, 2012, 7:15 PM MDT
In force: 47 min
Issued by: NWS Albuquerque, NM
Area: Storm-based polygon

County Roosevelt County, NM

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

The nearest sounding before it

Midland Regional, TX (KMAF), launched 00:00Z, 0.5 hours before the alert went out and 208 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

Skew-T log-p

Temperature in red, dew point in green, the mixed-layer parcel dashed.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Albuquerque, NM wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Apr 9, 3:07 PM MDT, 3 hours 21 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 9, 3:07 PM MDT, 3 hours 21 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
307 PM MDT MON APR 9 2012

.DISCUSSION...
WIDELY SEPARATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE POPPED UP ON QUE
ACROSS A GOOD PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON. THE
WESTERN AND CENTRAL VARIETY ARE IN LARGE PART THE DRIER VARIETY
WITH JUST A VERY SMALL FOOTPRINT OF UP TO NEAR A TENTH OF AN INCH
IN SOME OF THE CELLS. BASED ON CURRENT HUMIDITY READINGS...A
MIXTURE OF WET AND DRY EXISTS ACROSS THE EAST WITH AMA RADAR
SHOWING SOME ENHANCED ECHOES ACROSS THE NORTHEAST PLAINS.
UNFORTUNATELY FDX RADAR WILL BE DOWN FOR THE REST OF TODAY. LATEST
SWOMCD FROM SPC SUGGESTS A POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE DAY ACROSS THE FAR EAST...ESPECIALLY SOUTHEAST
WHERE BETTER MOISTURE EXISTS. MICROBURST WIND AND PERHAPS EVEN
LARGE HAIL WOULD BE THE MAIN HAZARD WITH THIS ACTIVITY.

MODELS HAVE BEEN PRETTY CONSISTENT WITH DRAGGING THE CURRENT MID
LEVEL DRY SLOT OVER CALIFORNIA AND ARIZONA EASTWARD OVER THE STATE
DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. THIS MEANS LESSENING THUNDERSTORM
CHANCES FROM WEST TO EAST AND INCREASING DRYNESS IN THE
STORMS...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE MID LEVEL MOISTURE GRADIENT. THE
ONLY EXCEPTION TO THIS WOULD BE FOUND ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS
WHERE A STRENGTHENING OR SHARPENING DRYLINE IS EXPECTED.
THUS...SEVERE POTENTIAL WOULD INCREASE ACROSS THAT AREA THROUGH
WEDNESDAY. THE CULIMINATION DAY STILL APPEARS TO BE WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON AND OVERNIGHT ACROSS THE FAR EAST. WENT AHEAD AND PLACED
POSSIBLITY OF SEVERE STORMS IN THE FORECAST WORDING DUE TO A
BETTER THAN MODERATE CONFIDENCE OF A SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WX
OUTBREAK EVENT THERE.

THEREAFTER...NEW MEXICO EXPERIENCES MORE FIRE WX CONCERNS AS THE
DRYSLOT OVERTAKES THE AREA AND WINDS INCREASE IN EARNEST THURSDAY
AND FRIDAY AS THE UPPER TROUGH SLIDES OVER THE NORTHERN AND
CENTRAL ROCKIES. RESIDUAL STRONGER WIND FLOWS AND LOWER HUMIDITY
IS EXPECTED FOR FRIDAY AS WELL.

MODELS HAVE BECOME A BIT MORE CONSISTENT WITH THEIR DEPICTION OF
THE WEEKEND PERIOD ALTHOUGH HAVE BEEN SHAKY THE PAST 2 TO 3 DAYS
SO DIDNT ADJUST THE GRIDS FOR THAT TIME FRAME. BOTH GFS AND ECMWF
DIG A FAIRLY DEEP AND LARGE UPPER LOW INTO THE GREAT BASIN ON
FRIDAY AND FURTHER IT INTO PORTIONS OF THE ROCKIES AND SOUTHWEST
AREA DURING THE WEEKEND. THE WEEKEND APPEARS TO BE UNSETTLED BUT
THE JURY IS STILL OUT ON HOW MUCH PRECIPITATION THE STATE WOULD
GET...IF ANY. RIGHT NOW...THE MODELS ARE BULLISH FOR THE SUNDAY
PERIOD ESPECIALLY AS A BACK DOOR FRONT PUSHES IN FROM THE NORTH.
SUSPECT THAT THE MODELS WILL VARY QUITE A BIT DURING THE NEXT FEW
DAYS WITH THIS SYSTEM SO STAY TUNED.

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST TO PERSIST THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS
AT TAF SITES...BUT ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY SHORT-LIVED MVFR CONDITIONS AND WIND GUSTS
NEAR 40 MPH. A WSW LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL BECOME MORE SSW
OVERNIGHT...WITH TYPICAL DRAINAGE-TYPE WINDS EARLY TUESDAY
MORNING. NEXT AVIATION DISCUSSION SCHEDULED FOR 09Z. 11

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
...EXTENDED PERIOD OF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WEDNESDAY
THROUGH SATURDAY...

ABUNDANT ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE AND DAYTIME HEATING RESULTED IN
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS MONDAY
AFTERNOON...WHICH WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING HOURS BEFORE
FOLLOWING A TYPICAL DIURNAL DOWNTREND. WETTING RAINS FROM THIS ROUND
OF CONVECTION WILL BE SPOTTY AT BEST.

THE FOCUS FOR CONVECTION WILL SHIFT EAST A BIT EACH DAY THROUGH
WEDNESDAY AS THE PACIFIC DRY SLOT BEGINS TO WORK-OVER THE STATE AND
RELATIVE HUMIDITIES TREND DOWN...EXCEPT OVER THE EASTERN PLAINS
WHERE GULF MOISTURE WILL REMAIN. NEAR-CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE FOR AN HOUR OR TWO LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON
ACROSS THE WEST CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AND HIGHLANDS.

BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...DRY SOUTHWESTERLIES WILL PREVAIL ALONG AND
WEST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN AND WINDS WILL LIKELY HIT
CRITICAL THRESHOLDS ACROSS PORTIONS OF ZONES 101...105 AND 109. THE
FIRE WEATHER WATCH COVERING THOSE ZONES LOOKS GOOD AND THE LATEST
FORECAST DATA DOES NOT SUPPORT EXPANDING IT FURTHER EAST AT THIS
TIME. WETTING RAINS ARE POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY INTO THE EARLY MORNING
HOURS THURSDAY ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS AS THE DRY LINE ADVANCES
EASTWARD AND SPARKS A ROUND OF POTENTIALLY SEVERE CONVECTION.

DRY WESTERLIES WILL OVERTAKE THE ENTIRE AREA THURSDAY AND
VENTILATION WILL CONTINUE AN UPWARD TREND. CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE EAST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN THURSDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. BY FRIDAY...STRONGER WINDS ALOFT WILL MOVE
OVER THE STATE IN ADVANCE OF A POTENT UPPER LEVEL TROUGH. AFTER A
LITTLE DAYTIME MIXING...WINDY CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST WITH
WIDESPREAD CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS. A LITTLE RELIEF IS
FORECAST SATURDAY AS COOLER AIR ASSOCIATED WITH THE EAST-BOUND
TROUGH BEGINS TO MOVE INTO WESTERN ZONES. CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS ARE STILL POSSIBLE SATURDAY...BUT CONFINED TO THE EASTERN
PLAINS.
