AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
316 PM MDT TUE SEP 10 2013

...WIDESPREAD RAINFALL WITH SOME FLOODING CONCERNS THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT...

.DISCUSSION...FORECAST OF WIDESPREAD RAINFALL UNDER A ROBUST
MONSOONAL BURST HAS BEEN PANNING OUT OVERALL...BUT SPECIFIC
DETAILS WILL CONTINUE TO BE FINE TUNED TONIGHT AND TOMORROW. MUCH
OF THE RAIN TOOK ON A STRATIFORM NATURE WITH WIDESPREAD COVERAGE A
BIT EARLIER AND A BIT FARTHER EAST THAN ANTICIPATED...BUT FORECAST
MODELS HAVE DONE A REASONABLE JOB THUS FAR FOR THIS ANOMALOUS
EVENT. RAINFALL AMOUNTS HAVE BEEN ACCUMULATING QUICKLY...MUCH LIKE
A TROPICAL ENVIRONMENT...AND ACCORDINGLY THE KABX/KFDX RADARS
PRECIP ACCUMULATION ALGORITHMS WERE ADJUSTED TO BETTER TALLY THIS.
LIGHTNING HAS BEEN LIMITED THUS FAR...BUT SOME EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS HAVE COINCIDED WITH SOME HEAVIER SWATHS OF
RAINFALL...NAMELY IN SAN JUAN COUNTY. REPORTS OF FLOODED ARROYOS
FEEDING INTO THE RIO GRANDE...PROMPTED THE PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FLOOD
WARNING. MANY OF THE ADDITIONAL FLOODING CONCERNS MAY BE OF LONGER
DURATION TYPE EVENTS RATHER THAN THE TYPICAL SHORTER DURATION
FLASH FLOODING...AND THERE MAY BE SOME OVERLAP/AMBIGUITY TO THESE
EVENTS. FOR NOW...HAVE FELT IT PRUDENT TO KEEP IT SIMPLE BY
ISSUING A FLASH FLOOD WATCH. THIS WILL JIVE WITH NEIGHBORING
OFFICES AND THE ONGOING FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE BURN SCARS.
THUS...THE AMENDMENT TO THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL INCLUDE THE
WESTERN TWO THIRDS OF THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH 6 AM WEDNESDAY.
IT IS LIKELY THAT TEMPORAL EXTENSIONS OR AREAL EXPANSIONS WILL
NEED TO BE ADDED AT THAT TIME.

THE NEWEST CHANGE TO THE MODELS FOR WEDNESDAY IS A STRENGTHENING
OR ENHANCEMENT TO THE DRY SLOT IN THE WESTERN ZONES. THIS WAS
SHOWN IN THE MODEL RUNS OF THE PAST DAYS...BUT NOT TO THE EXTENT
THIS MORNING'S MODEL RUNS. THE GFS...EUROPEAN...SREF...AND THE NAM
NOW SHOW THIS MORE PROLIFIC DRY SLOT IN THE WESTERN THIRD OF NM
WEDNESDAY...SO POPS WERE DECREASED THERE. IN AN ALMOST
CONTRADICTORY MANNER...THE DRY SLOT MAY ADD SOME STRENGTH TO ANY
STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP IN THE WESTERN ZONES VIA LESS CLOUD
COVER...BETTER INSTABILITY...AND STRONGER UPDRAFTS. WHILE ANY
CELLS IN THE WEST WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR BEING STRONGER...THE
COVERAGE WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN WHAT IS EXPECTED OVER THE
CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN AND THE INTERFACE WITH THE HIGH PLAINS
WHERE THE TROPICAL/STRATIFORM TYPE PRECIP WILL LIKELY PREVAIL.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE A BIT TRICKY WITH THE DRY SLOT AS ADDITIONAL
BREAKS OF SUNSHINE IN THE WEST MAY ALLOW FOR HIGHER READINGS THAN
IS CURRENTLY FORECASTED. OTHERWISE...COOLER THAN AVERAGE READINGS
FROM THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN EAST SEEM LIKE A SAFE BET.

INTERESTINGLY...THE UPPER LOW TO THE WEST IS SHOWN TO WOBBLE
NORTHWARD ALONG THE NV/UT BORDER ON THURSDAY WHILE THE PLUME OF
MOISTURE IS ABLE TO RETROGRADE BACK TO THE WEST. THIS WILL GET
THINGS MUCH MORE ACTIVE AGAIN BETWEEN THE RIO GRANDE AND THE AZ
BORDER...BUT STILL AN LARGE MAJORITY OF THE FORECAST AREA WILL BE
UNDER WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION AND A THREAT FOR LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL AND FLOODING.

BY FRIDAY...THE UPPER LOW LIFTS INTO NORTHWESTERN UT WHILE THE
UPPER HIGH BUILDS BACK INTO TX. WHILE THIS MAY DISRUPT THE
CONCENTRIC NATURE OF THE MONSOONAL PLUME...BUT PLENTY OF MOISTURE
AND INSTABILITY STILL APPEAR TO BE PRESENT FOR A HEALTHY CROP OF
STORMS. ANY WARMING TREND WOULD LIKELY BE SUBTLE. BY SATURDAY THE
REMNANT PERTURBATION FROM UT IS EXPECTED TO OPEN UP AND DIVE
SOUTHEASTWARD TOWARD THE CO/NM BORDER WHILE A BACK DOOR FRONT
APPROACHES THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE STATE. THIS FRONT WOULD
LIKELY DRIVE A HEALTHY UPSLOPE REGIME FOR INCREASED PRECIP ALONG
THE FRONT RANGE OF CO...BUT STILL APPEARS TO BE DISPLACED FROM
MOST OF NM...THE EXCEPTION BEING THE NORTHEAST.

CONTINUED MOISTURE OVER THE SIERRA MADRE AND A POSSIBLE INTRUSION
OF TROPICAL MOISTURE FROM A SYSTEM OUT OF THE GULF OF MEXICO WILL
BE IN PLACE SOUTH OF NM BY MONDAY/TUESDAY. HOWEVER...STRONGER
WESTERLIES THEREAFTER WILL LIKELY PUT THE MONSOON TO REST THROUGH
THE REMAINDER OF NEXT WEEK.

52

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
THE MONSOONAL PLUME WILL EDGE EASTWARD TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY.
COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF MOISTURE WITH HIGH HUMIDITY WILL BE CONTAINED
WITHIN THIS PLUME. CENTRAL AND EASTERN AREAS WILL BE FAVORED. A MID
LEVEL DRY SLOT WILL LIMIT WETTING RAINFALL ACROSS THE WEST ON
WEDNESDAY. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE BELOW NORMAL.

THEN THE MONSOONAL PLUME IS EXPECTED TO RETROGRADE BACK TO THE WEST
WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY. WETTING RAINFALL WILL RETURN TO
WESTERN AREAS AND ALSO AFFECT CENTRAL AREAS. THE MODELS ARE BECOMING
A BIT MORE BULLISH FOR SOME SORT OF BACK DOOR COLD FRONTAL SIGNATURE
LATER THURSDAY ACROSS THE NORTHEAST SO WETTING RAIN EXPECTED THERE
AS WELL. HIGHER HUMIDITY WILL CONTINUE. IT APPEARS THAT THE PLUME
WILL BECOME A BIT MORE DISORGANIZED ON FRIDAY BUT STILL PRODUCE
WETTING RAIN COVERAGE ACROSS A GOOD CHUNK OF THE FORECAST AREA. HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN BELOW NORMAL BOTH THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

THE UPPER TROUGH WHICH IS CURRENTLY SITTING TO THE WEST OF THE AREA
TODAY WILL EVENTUALLY MAKE ITS WAY OVER THE STATE DURING THE LATE
FRIDAY AND WEEKEND PERIOD. THIS WILL INVIGORATE ADDITIONAL WETTING
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. ANOTHER POSSIBLE BACK DOOR LATE SUNDAY
COULD PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR STORMS ACROSS THE NORTHEAST. OTHERWISE...A
GRADUAL DRYING TREND SUNDAY WITH DRIER AIR TRYING TO INFILTRATE FROM
THE WEST. TEMPERATURES WOULD GRADUALLY WARM SOME AND GET BACK TO
NEAR NORMAL ON SUNDAY.

THE MODELS ARE BECOMING A BIT MORE CONSISTENT WITH THEIR UPPER FLOW
PATTERN FOR NEXT WEEK. A STRONGER PACIFIC TROUGH IS DEPICTED TO DIVE
INTO THE WESTERN US AND USHER DRIER AIR OVER THE SOUTHWEST REGION
DUE TO A STRONGER WESTERLY FLOW. MONDAY IS SORT OF A QUESTION MARK
BECAUSE THE ECMWF MODEL IS LESS PROGRESSIVE WITH THE WEAKER TROUGH
PASSAGE DURING THE WEEKEND. THE GFS IS QUICKER TO BRING DRIER AIR
OVER THE AREA FROM THE WEST ON MONDAY. EITHER WAY...EXPECT A WARMING
AND DRYING TREND NEXT WEEK. CONFIDENCE IS MODERATE AND COULD RISE
WITH ADDITIONAL RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY IN THE MODELS.
ALSO...CLIMATOLOGY WOULD SUGGEST THIS OCCURRENCE AS PACIFIC TROUGHS
BECOME STRONGER.

50

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF CYCLE
LONGER PERIODS OF MVFR ARE ANTICIPATED FOR CENTRAL TERMINAL SITES
DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS. THIS IS DUE TO THE MONSOONAL MOISTURE
PLUME SHIFTING A LITTLE FURTHER EAST. AEG/ABQ AND SAF HAVE A HIGH
POTENTIAL OF BEING IMPACTED THROUGH AT LEAST THE EVENING AS THIS
GRADUAL SHIFT OCCURS. FMN WILL BE IMPACTED THROUGH THE AFTERNOON
AND PORTIONS OF THE EVENING AND GUP WILL BE ON THE EDGE BETWEEN
MORE STRATIFORM...CONSISTENT RAINFALL ACTIVITY AND TS DVLPMENT. A
DRY SLOT WILL EVENTUALLY LESSEN THE CLOUD COVER ACROSS THE WESTERN
TERMINAL SITES LATER TONIGHT INTO WED. TCC AND ROW WILL GET INTO
THE ACTION LATER TONIGHT WITH MVFR CIGS/VIS AND THAT COULD
CONTINUE MOST OF WED.
