Area forecast discussion, Jun 12, 2:43 PM MDT, 3 hours 30 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM 243 PM MDT TUE JUN 12 2012 .DISCUSSION... ...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCHES IN EFFECT FOR EASTERN NEW MEXICO... THE LATEST LAPS GUIDANCE AND RADAR TRENDS SUPPORTING INCREASING POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS OVER THE EASTERN PLAINS THRU THIS EVENING. AS OF 2PM THE GREATEST COVERAGE IS ALONG THE EAST SLOPES OF THE SANGRES AND THE UPPER RIO GRANDE VALLEY. CIN OVER THE SE PLAINS WILL BREAK THRU DAYTIME HEATING LATER AND CONVECTION WILL SPREAD INTO THAT REGION LATER THIS EVENING. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS ALREADY BEING SCOURED OUT OF THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY AND WESTERN NM WHERE SW FLOW IS MIXING A RATHER SIGNIFICANT MID/UPPER LEVEL DRY SLOT INTO THE AREA. CONVECTIVE INDUCED COLD POOL OVER THE PLAINS WILL FORCE ANOTHER GAP WIND INTO THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY TONIGHT. LOCAL WRF MODEL SHOWS A RATHER POTENT EVENT BRIEFLY IN THE ABQ METRO BTWN 02-04Z ON CONVECTIVE OUTFLOWS THROUGH TIJERAS CANYON. GUSTS UP TO 40KTS ARE POSSIBLE FOR AN HOUR OR TWO. THE DRY SLOT EVIDENT ON THE LATEST WATER VAPOR IMAGERY WILL TAKE HOLD OF MOST OF NM WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL CREATE SOME LOCALLY BREEZY WINDS WITH MAX TEMPS RISING BACK ABOVE NORMAL. THE NAM AND GFS INDICATE MOIST CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FAR E PLAINS WED AFTERNOON WHERE SPC SEVERE DESK IS STILL CARRYING SEE TEXT. SCOURING OUT OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AS DRY SLOT MOVES INTO WESTERN HALF OF NM WILL FAVOR SOME DRY STORMS OVER NORTHERN MTS AND SPC FIRE DESK ALSO CARRYING SEE TEXT. THURSDAY WILL BE THE DRIEST AND WARMEST DAY STATEWIDE AS THE NOSE OF THE DRY SLOT OVER THE DESERT SW SHIFTS INTO THE WESTERN HALF OF NM. MEANWHILE...THE SUITE OF MODEL GUIDANCE SHOWS A WEAK 700-500MB OPEN WAVE SLIDING SLOWLY SOUTH INTO THE BAJA REGION THROUGH FRIDAY AND CLOSING OFF SATURDAY. THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BTWN MODEL RUNS IS VERY SIGNIFICANT FOR PRECIP CHANCES THIS WEEKEND. THE ECMWF TAKES A SECOND UPPER LOW SE INTO THE CENTRAL ROCKIES THEN EJECTS INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...ALLOWING MORE DRY AIR TO INVADE THE WESTERN HALF OF NM OUT OF THE GREAT BASIN. THE GFS HAS THE SECONDARY UPPER WAVE SLOWING THEN DIVING SOUTH INTO THE GREAT BASIN TOWARD THE INITIAL WAVE...WHICH FORCES A DEEP FETCH OF MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW OVER NM. HPC QPF SUGGESTS THE LATTER SCENARIO HOWEVER SUITE OF ENSEMBLES STILL LEAVING A GOOD DEAL OF UNCERTAINTY. TOUCHED UP EXTENDED POPS FOR THIS PERIOD BUT KEPT THINGS IN THE LOW CHANCE ARENA FOR NOW. GUYER && .FIRE WEATHER... LOW LEVEL MOISTURE REACHED AS FAR WEST AS THE JEMEZ AND SAN JUAN MOUNTAINS LAST NIGHT AND WITH AFTERNOON HEATING HAS RESULTED IN CONSIDERABLE CLOUD BUILDUPS AND ISOLATED STORMS OVER THIS REGION. IN THE EASTERN PLAINS...MOIST LOW LEVEL EASTERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE...AND THE REGION WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE...RESULTING IN THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING. RH RECOVERIES WILL BE GOOD TO EXCELLENT FROM THE EAST SLOPES OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN OVER THE PLAINS TONIGHT. IT APPEARS THERE WILL ANOTHER ROUND OF EAST WINDS INTO THE UPPER AND MIDDLE RIO GRANDE VALLEY TONIGHT...THE WESTWARD EXTENT A LITTLE UNCERTAIN BUT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE MAY BE REINFORCED OVER THE SAN JUAN AND JEMEZ MOUNTAINS. GFS MAY BE TENDING TO DRY OUT LOW LEVELS TOO QUICKLY WEDNESDAY...SO HAVE LEANED TOWARDS THE NAM DEW POINT WISE. THERE COULD BE ISOLD DRY ACTIVITY IN THE SAN JUAN AND JEMEZ AS WELL AS AROUND MT TAYLOR WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. THERE IS A LITTLE BETTER CONSENSUS DRYING OUT MOISTURE WEST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN BY THURSDAY...SO RH RECOVERIES WEDNESDAY NIGHT MAY RETURN TO POOR IN AREAS WHICH SAW/OR WILL SEE INCREASES LAST NIGHT AND TONIGHT. THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE THURSDAY SHOULD BE LIMITED TO THE EASTERN PLAINS WITH TEMPERATURES ABOVE AVERAGE. THE END OF THE WORK WEEK AND THE WEEKEND WEATHER SCENARIO IS LOOKING MORE FAVORABLE FOR INCREASING MOISTURE. AN UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP OVER SOCAL/BAJA CA. THE RESULTING UPPER CIRCULATION COULD TAP MOISTURE OVER OLD MEXICO AND DRAW IT INTO CENTRAL AND EASTERN NEW MEXICO. WE ARE WATCHING THIS CLOSELY SO STAY TUNED. WINDS DON/T APPEAR TO BE STRONG ENOUGH TO TRIGGER WIDESPREAD CRITICAL CONDITIONS THROUGH THIS WEEK AND NEXT SUNDAY. && .AVIATION... 18Z TAF CYCLE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE HAS PUSHED WESTWARD TO THE JEMEZ AND SAN JUAN MTS. AIRMASS DESTABILIZING AND EXPECT ISOLD TO SCATTERED CONVECTION OCCASIONALLY OBSCURING MTS FROM THE NORTHWEST MTS TO THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN AND ACROSS THE PLAINS. ISOLD SVR STORMS WITH WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 50 KTS AND LARGE HAIL POSSIBLE IN THE PLAINS, LOW CLOUDS/FOG TO DEVELOP TONIGHT FROM THE EAST SLOPES CENTRAL MT CHAIN OVER THE PLAINS WILL OBSCURE TERRAIN. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
