AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
1152 PM MDT FRI OCT 12 2012

.AVIATION...
06Z TAF CYCLE
THE FOUR CORNERS UPPER LOW IS EJECTING MUCH MORE SLOWLY THAN
PROGGED BY MODELS...SO THE BROKEN LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE TS
ACROSS FAR E NM CONTINUES. THE LATEST MODEL RUNS SEEM TO AGREE ON
TS EXITING E NM TO THE E BY AROUND 12Z. OTHERWISE...WRAP AROUND
MOISTURE SHOULD ENABLE ISOLD SHRA/SHSN ACROSS THE N MTNS AND NW
HIGHLANDS TODAY. W AND NW WINDS WILL BECOME GUSTY AREAWIDE BY MID
TO LATE MORNING TODAY. CONFIDENCE ON THE WIND DIRECTION FORECAST
IN TAFS IS WEAK DUE TO UNCERTAINTY ABOUT THE TRACK AND TIMING OF
THE UPPER LOW TRAVERSING CO. THE UPPER LOW SHOULD MOVE FAR ENOUGH
NE OF NM BY SATURDAY NIGHT FOR MUCH WEAKER WINDS BY SUNDAY MORNING
AREAWIDE.

.PREV DISCUSSION...926 PM MDT FRI OCT 12 2012...
STORMS EXITED THE EAST CENTRAL AND SE PLAINS AND LATEST MODEL
TRENDS KEEP MAJORITY OF STORM ACTIVITY OVER FAR NE NM SO HAVE
COORDINATED WITH SPC TO CANCEL TO TORNADO WATCH. THERE MAY BE
ANOTHER ROUND OF STORMS AS THE PACIFIC FRONT MAKES IT INTO THE
FAR EASTERN PLAINS VERY LATE TONIGHT. THE 00Z NAM12 HINTS AT
THIS HOWEVER CONFIDENCE IS VERY LOW ON THIS SCENARIO. WILL MAKE
SOME MINOR CHANGES TO POP GRIDS FOR OVERNIGHT. GUYER

.PREV DISCUSSION...323 PM MDT FRI OCT 12 2012...
ACTIVE WEATHER TO CONTINUE INTO EARLY SATURDAY...THEN A DRYING AND
WARMING TREND EXPECTED THROUGH NEXT WEEK.

AT 12Z...THE KABQ SOUNDING REVEALED A PWAT OF 0.81 INCH...WHICH IS
177 PERCENT OF NORMAL AND ROUGHLY 2 STANDARD DEVIATIONS ABOVE
NORMAL. THIS ABUNDANT MOISTURE...COUPLED WITH DESTABILIZATION OF
THE ATMOSPHERE ASSOCIATED WITH THE APPROACHING PACIFIC STORM
SYSTEM...HAS RESULTED IN ROBUST THUNDERSTORMS. STORMS RACED NORTHEAST
AT 40 TO 50 MPH...WITH THE KABX VAD WIND PROFILE SHOWING 50KTS AS
LOW AS 15K FT ASL.

AT 3PM...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WERE
DEVELOPING BETWEEN THE DIVIDE AND THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY ACROSS
CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA. AT THE SAME TIME...THE
LATEST WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWED A DISTINCT DRY SLOT WORKING
UNDER THE UPPER LOW CIRCULATION INTO SOUTHWEST NEW MEXICO. DRY AIR
RACING NE WILL PUT A DAMPER ON CONVECTION LATER THIS EVENING
ALONG/WEST OF THE MIDDLE AND LOWER RIO GRANDE VALLEY...INSTEAD
FAVORING THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS AND AREAS ALONG/EAST OF THE
CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN. A THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS STILL
EXISTS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS THIS EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT. SURFACE- BASED INSTABILITY PARAMETERS FROM THE LATEST
LAPS ANALYSIS SHOW IMPRESSIVE VALUES ACROSS THE EAST CENTRAL AND
SOUTHEAST PLAINS WHERE SURFACE DEWPOINT TEMPERATURES HAVE CLIMBED
UP INTO THE MID 60S. THIS AIRMASS WILL CONTINUE TO ADVECT SLOWLY
NORTHWARD AND ACT TO WASH-OUT THE ERODING FRONTAL BOUNDARY
CURRENTLY IN PLACE ACROSS THE NORTHEAST PLAINS. LATER THIS
EVENING...AS THE PACIFIC FRONT TAKES SHAPE AND PUSHES OUT INTO THE
PLAINS...EXPLOSIVE CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT IS POSSIBLE. THE SPC DAY
1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK CONTINUES TO SHOW OUR EASTERN PLAINS IN THE
SLIGHT RISK AREA.

OVERNIGHT ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NEW MEXICO
A CONVECTIVE DOWNTREND IS EXPECTED...EXCEPT FOR OVER THE NORTHERN
MOUNTAINS AND WEST CENTRAL MOUNTAINS WHERE OROGRAPHICALLY-INDUCED
SHOWERS WILL PERSIST. SNOW SHOWERS ARE FORECAST...GENERALLY ABOVE
10K FT OVERNIGHT WITH SOME ACCUMULATION POSSIBLE OVER THE PEAKS OF
THE SAN JUANS...SANGRE DE CRISTOS AND POSSIBLY MT. TAYLOR. PEAKS
ABOVE 11K FT COULD SEE SEVERAL INCHES OF ACCUMULATION OVERNIGHT
INTO SATURDAY NEAR THE COLORADO BORDER.

A WIND ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM...AND MAY BE
EXTENDED/EXPANDED. WE'RE CURRENTLY HITTING CRITERIA AT KABQ...BUT
IS LOCALLY ENHANCED BY LOWER BOUNDARY LAYER EVAPORATIVE COOLING
ASSOCIATED WITH NEAR-BY CONVECTION. WINDS WILL STAY UP
OVERNIGHT AS A SHORTWAVE TROUGH ROTATES AROUND THE NE MOVING UPPER
LOW AND PUSHES ACROSS CENTRAL NM EARLY SATURDAY. THE FOCUS FOR
WINDY CONDITIONS WILL SHIFT TO THE EASTERN PLAINS SATURDAY...BUT
STRONGER WINDS WILL REMAIN IN THE LOWER BOUNDARY LAYER WEST OF THE
CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN THROUGH AT LEAST MID DAY.

AFTER A SPELL OF BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES THIS WEEKEND...A
DRYING/WARMING TREND WILL BE IN PLACE FOR NEXT WEEK. ABOVE TO WELL
ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST THROUGH THE END OF NEXT
WEEK WITH A DRY NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. THERE CONTINUES TO BE SOME
DISAGREEMENT AMONG THE MEDIUM RANGE MODEL SOLUTIONS WITH THE
HANDLING OF A WEAK UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER NW MEXICO EARLY/MID
WEEK. THE GFS MOVES THIS FEATURE EAST INTO SOUTHERN NM BY TUESDAY
AND PICKS-UP SOME TROPICAL MOISTURE...BRINGING CLOUDS AND RAIN
CHANCES TO THE SOUTHERN THIRD OF THE STATE. THE MODEL
TRENDS...HOWEVER...ARE WETTER AT THIS TIME SO WE'VE INCLUDED A
MENTION OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR SOUTHERN AREAS ON
TUESDAY. 11

.FIRE WEATHER...
DYNAMIC WEATHER TODAY WITH A MID LEVEL DRY SLOT PUNCHING INTO THE
SOUTHWEST CORNER WHILE SHOWERS AND STORMS HAVE AFFECTED NORTHERN AND
EASTERN AREAS TODAY. THE SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED PRECIPITATION WILL
RAPIDLY PUSH NORTHEASTWARD OVERNIGHT AND EVENTUALLY CLEAR THE AREA
ON SUNDAY. SOME PSEUDO WRAP AROUND PRECIPITATION COULD IMPACT THE
FAR NORTHERN MOUNTAINS ON SATURDAY BUT NOT LOOKING FOR MUCH. WINDS
WILL GUST UP OUT OF THE NORTH/NORTHWEST SATURDAY IN THE WAKE OF THE
DEPARTING LOW. AS A RESULT...VENTILATION WILL BE PRETTY GOOD ACROSS
THE AREA. MIXING HEIGHTS WILL CERTAINLY FALL THOUGH ACROSS THE
WESTERN TIER AS COOLER AIR FILTERS IN FROM THE WEST. THE HIGHER
MIXING HEIGHTS WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE EAST SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
HUMIDITY WILL FALL ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF BUT RISE SOME ACROSS THE
WEST.

WINDS WILL RELAX SOME ON SUNDAY ALTHOUGH A MODERATE NORTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT WILL REMAIN AS SOME RIDGING OVERTAKES THE AREA. VENTILATION
WILL CERTAINLY LOWER DUE TO THE POST COLD FRONTAL INVERSION WITH
POORS DEPICTED ACROSS THE WESTERN THIRD. DRY CONDITIONS WITH NEAR TO
SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES EXPECTED.

THERE IS SOME SLIGHT UNCERTAINTY FOR THE EARLIER HALF OF NEXT
WEEK...ESPECIALLY AS IT CONCERNS TUESDAY. THE GFS MODEL TRACKS A
WEAK BAJA LOW OVER THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE STATE WHILE THE
EUROPEAN AND CANADIAN MODELS ARE LESS ROBUST WITH THE FEATURE. THE
GFS IS SHOWING SOME PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER OF THE
STATE WHILE THE ECMWF AND GEM MODELS SHOW NO PRECIPITATION. SUSPECT
GFS COULD BE AN OUTLIER AS FAR AS PRECIPITATION GOES BUT WILL NEED
TO WATCH THE DAY TO DAY TRENDS. VENTILATION WILL RISE SOME ON MONDAY
AND IMPROVE EVEN MORE ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST HALF ON TUESDAY.
IMPROVING AREAWIDE ON WEDNESDAY. MODELS ALSO POINTING TOWARDS SOME
SORT OF MID LEVEL DRY AIR INTRUSION THUS LOWERING HUMIDITY VALUES ON
MONDAY. WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THAT AS FAR AS THE MID LEVEL DRY
INTRUSION WILL BE DEPENDENT ON THAT BAJA WAVE.

MODELS SEEM TO BE IN PRETTY GOOD CONSENSUS WITH A BROAD RIDGE
DEVELOPING OVER THE DESERT SOUTHWEST. THIS MEANS ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES AND LOWERING HUMIDITY. PERHAPS A FEW MODERATE BREEZES
STARTING OUT DUE TO A MODERATE FLOW ALOFT BUT GRADUALLY BECOMING
LIGHTER AS TIME GOES ON. VENTILATION COULD BE A CONCERN AS THE WINDS
ALOFT LIGHTEN SOME DUE TO THE RIDGE BUILDUP BUT SUSPECT LOW LEVEL
INSTABILITY WILL HELP WITH THAT. IF THIS PATTERN WERE TO OCCUR IN
NOVEMBER...THEN ANOTHER STORY FOR SURE. WILL NEED TO MONITOR THAT
TREND THE LATTER HALF OF NEXT WEEK. 50
