KJWhat 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 May 7, 3:47 AM MDT, 10 hours 58 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 7, 3:47 AM MDT, 10 hours 58 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM 347 AM MDT MON MAY 7 2012 .DISCUSSION... NAM12 ANALYSIS INDICATES A CLOSED UPPER LOW IS FINALLY FORMING WITHIN A DEEP UPPER TROUGH OVER UT AND AZ EARLY THIS MORNING. MODELS HAVE BEEN PROGGING THE LOW TO CLOSE OFF OVER UT...BUT THE NAM12 DEPICTS IT NEAR PHOENIX. EITHER WAY...THE UPPER LOW IS EXPECTED TO SINK SLOWLY SOUTHWARD THROUGH WESTERN AZ TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY...INTO NW MEXICO TUE NIGHT THROUGH WED...THEN EASTWARD INTO W TX BY THU AFTERNOON. THE SYSTEM HAS ALREADY DRAWN A MOIST BACK DOOR COLD FRONT INTO CENTRAL NM...AND THIS FRONT SHOULD FINALLY WORK ITS WAY OVER THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE AND INTO AZ BY TUESDAY MORNING. EASTERLY UPSLOPE FLOW SHOULD FAVOR THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS...CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN AND ADJACENT HIGH PLAINS TO THE EAST FOR NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TODAY...WITH SCATTERED TO ISOLATED ACTIVITY ELSEWHERE. THE MOIST LOW LEVEL EASTERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MID WEEK...WITH MODEST UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS FROM THE DISTANT STORM SYSTEM KEEPING DAILY ROUNDS OF SCATTERED TO ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER OF MOUNTAINS TUESDAY. IN ADDITION TO THE PRECIPITATION...THE LOW LEVEL EASTERLIES WILL RESULT IN SOME STRONG EAST CANYON WINDS WITHIN THE CENTRAL VALLEY. A WIND ADVISORY WILL BE ISSUED WITH THIS MORNINGS FORECAST PACKAGE FOR THE MIDDLE RIO GRANDE VALLEY THIS MORNING THROUGH EARLY WED MORNING. AT KABQ...GFS AND NAM MOS BOTH AGREE ON WIND ADVISORY SPEEDS AT TIMES THIS MORNING...THEN AGAIN DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON. ALTHOUGH EAST CANYON WINDS MAY WEAKEN DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON...THEY SHOULD PICK UP AGAIN DUE TO THUNDERSTORM OUTFLOWS BY THIS EVENING. TONIGHT...EAST CANYON WINDS SHOULD REMAIN STRONG DUE TO THE UPPER LOW SQUARELY WEST OF ALBUQUERQUE AND A 1023 MB SURFACE HIGH SINKING TOWARDS THE OK/TX PANHANDLES. THERE IS A CHANCE THE DAY SHIFT MAY NEED TO ADD THE SANTA FE METRO AREA TO THE WIND ADVISORY...BUT CURRENT THINKING IS THAT CONVECTION IN THE SANTA FE AREA MAY DISRUPT THE EAST WIND THERE AND KEEP SPEEDS BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA. DURING THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK...MOISTURE WILL RECYCLE AS LIGHT SURFACE WINDS SHIFT OUT OF THE WEST AND SOUTH AND THE UPPER LOW TRACKS SLOWLY EASTWARD INTO TX. MAINLY ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED THURSDAY...EXCEPT FOR SCATTERED ACTIVITY ACROSS THE HIGH TERRAIN AND AT LOWER ELEVATIONS SOUTH OF I-40. FRIDAY...ANOTHER MOIST BACK DOOR COLD FRONT WILL PLUNGE SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE PLAINS...THEN PROBABLY INTO THE CENTRAL VALLEY WITH ANOTHER EAST CANYON WIND FRIDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES COOL OVER THE WEEKEND...ESPECIALLY IN THE EAST. IT WILL ALSO KEEP SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST...MAINLY EAST OF THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE AND ESPECIALLY ALONG/JUST EAST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN. 44 && .AVIATION... BACK DOOR COLD FRONT CURRENTLY THROUGH MUCH OF THE EASTERN PLAINS WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH TO THE WEST TO THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE THROUGH THE PERIOD. GUSTY GAP WINDS WILL PERSIST INTO THE CENTRAL VALLEYS... WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS AROUND THE KABQ AREA WHERE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO REACH GUSTS OF 25 TO 35 KT DURING THE MORNING HOURS AND THEN AGAIN MONDAY EVENING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE MOST NUMEROUS ACROSS THE NORTHCENTRAL MOUNTAINS AND NORTHEAST PLAINS THROUGH MID DAY...INCREASING TO COVER MORE OF THE NORTH AND EAST AND FAVORING THE EASTERN HIGHLANDS AS THE DAY PROGRESSES. MVFR TO IFR CIGS AND VISIBILITIES AND MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS WILL ACCOMPANY THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WHILE MOIST UPSLOPE FLOW WILL MAINTAIN AREAS OF IFR CIGS ALONG THE EASTERN SLOPES TODAY AND MORE OF THE EAST MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING. NEXT AVIATION DISCUSSION SCHEDULED FOR 21Z. 05 && .FIRE WEATHER... SHARP CONTRASTS ARE EXPECTED TODAY AS A BACK DOOR COLD FRONT USHERS IN SIGNIFICANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TO THE REMAINDER OF THE EASTERN PLAINS THEN TO THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE...WHILE VERY DRY AIR AND GUSTY SOUTHWEST FLOW PERSISTS ACROSS THE EAST. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE IN COVERAGE TODAY...TO COVER MUCH OF NORTHEAST AND EASTERN ZONES BY LATER TODAY AND FAVORING THE EASTERN SLOPES AND HIGHLANDS. GUSTY CANYON WINDS TO IMPACT MOST OF THE TYPICAL LOCATIONS FROM TAOS SOUTH...WITH STRONGEST GAP WINDS EXPECTED IN THE CENTRAL VALLEY...ESPECIALLY TONIGHT. A DEEP TROUGH WITH TWO AREAS OF CIRCULATION...ONE OVER NORTHERN UTAH AND A SECOND CENTERED OVER THE CALIFORNIA/ARIZONA...ARE CURRENTLY EVIDENT ON SATELLITE IMAGERY. A DRY SLOT AT THE BASE OF THE TROUGH WILL PUSH INTO THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE STATE. CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CRITERIA COULD BE MET ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE WEST TODAY... AND GRIDS CURRENTLY CARRY SPOTTY COVERAGE FOR AN HOUR OR TWO THIS AFTERNOON. A FIRST PIECE OF ENERGY CROSSES NEW MEXICO TODAY AS THE LOW CLOSES OFF AND EVEN RETROGRADES A BIT. LATEST MODEL RUNS CALL FOR THE CLOSED LOW TO MOVE FURTHER SOUTH THAN EARLIER RUNS...WITH THE FAVORED AREA OF PRECIPITATION SHIFTING TO THE SOUTH AS WELL. RH RECOVERIES SHOULD BE GOOD TO EXCELLENT ALL AREAS TONIGHT. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE INTO TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT THEN LOOK TO FAVOR THE SOUTHWEST ZONES ON WEDNESDAY AS THE CLOSED LOW MOVES INTO NORTHERN MEXICO. RECYCLING OF MOISTURE CONTINUES INTO THURSDAY WITH ISOLATED TO SCATTERED WETTING RAIN FAVORING THE HIGHER TERRAIN. BY FRIDAY EXTENDED MODELS GENERALLY AGREE WITH MOVING THE UPPER LOW ACROSS TEXAS AS ANOTHER BACK DOOR FRONT PUSHES INTO THE EASTERN PLAINS. 05 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
