AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
551 PM MDT TUE APR 16 2013

.AVIATION...
00Z TAF CYCLE
SIGNIFICANT PLUME OF BLDU OVER NW NEW MEXICO WILL CONTINUE THRU
TONIGHT AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT SLIDING TOWARD THE AREA FROM NORTHERN
AZ. SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWING THICKEST PLUME IS ON THE DOOR STEP
AT KFMN SO HAVE INCLUDED TEMPO FOR IFR VSBYS THRU 02Z. SOME BLDU
ALSO IMPACTING THE KGUP AND KABQ AREAS HOWEVER NO RESTRICTIONS
ARE ANTICIPATED. STRONG WINDS WILL SLOWLY DIMINISH AT TAF SITES
BUT CONTINUE IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN ALL NIGHT INCLUDING ANGEL FIRE.
BULK OF LATEST GUIDANCE INDICATES WINDS WILL SHIFT DRAMATICALLY
FROM SE TO SW SOMETIME BETWEEN 01 AND 02Z FOR KLVS. ANOTHER WINDY
DAY IS ON TAP FOR WEDNESDAY...WITH THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BEING A
COLD FRONT PUSHING THROUGH THE AREA AND WINDS SHIFTING FROM SW
TO WEST AND NW THRU THE DAY. A FEW -SHRA AND MT TOP OBSCURATIONS
WILL SHIFT IN FROM NW TO SE AFTER 20Z...MAINLY FOR THE NW CORNER
OF NM. MORE BLDU IS EXPECTED WITH THE FOCUS PRIMARILY OVER THE SE
CORNER OF THE STATE. GUYER

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...341 PM MDT TUE APR 16 2013...
WIND ADVISORY LEVEL SPEEDS HAVE DEVELOPED JUST ABOUT ALL AREAS EXCEPT
OVER SOUTH-CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST AS EXPECTED. GALLUP ASOS
APPROACHING HIGH WIND WARNING GUSTS WITH A 17Z OB OF 54 MPH.
IMPRESSIVE PLUMES/AREAS OF BLOWING DUST APPARENT OVER THE NW
PLATEAU...RESTRICTING VISIBILITY TO 3 MILES AT THE FARMINGTON
AIRPORT. EXPECT WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE THROUGH THE
REMAINDER AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY IN CLOUD FREE AREAS...BEFORE
DIMINISHING AFTER SUNSET.

VIGOROUS UPPER LOW CONTINUES TO SLOWLY CHURN OVER THE CENTRAL
GREAT BASIN TODAY. LATEST COUPLE OF OF INFRARED AND WV SATELLITE
IMAGES SHOWING SIGNS OF A SLIGHT DRIFT SOUTHEASTWARD. 12Z MODEL
RUNS IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT THE LOW/TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO DRIFT
SEWD TONIGHT AS WIND SPEED MAXIMUM ROUNDS THE BASE OF THE UPPER
TROUGH. 50-55KT 700MB WIND CORE REMAINS OVER SOUTH-CENTRAL AREAS
TONIGHT SO OPTED FOR WIND ADVISORY THROUGH THE NIGHT FOR SOUTH-
CENTRAL MOUNTAINS...EASTERN LINCOLN COUNTY...AND SOUTHWEST CHAVES
COUNTY. LEFT HIGH WIND WATCH IN TACT TO LET MIDNIGHT CREW EVALUATE
AS TO WHETHER OR NOT TO CONTINUE WIND ADVISORY OR UPGRADE TO HIGH
WIND WARNING BASED ON 00Z MODEL DATA.

MODELS NOT ALL THAT EXCITED ABOUT PRECIPITATION GIVEN THE PRECEDING/PREFRONTAL
BONE DRY AIRMASS. GIVEN THE STRENGTH OF THE BAROCLINIC ZONE...STEEP
LAPSE RATES AND OROGRAPHICS PRESENT OVER SOUTHERN UT THIS AFTERNOON
HOWEVER...EXPECT FAVORED AREAS OF THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS WILL
ACCUMULATE SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW FROM WEDNESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY
NIGHT AND INTO THURSDAY. ISSUED WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR THESE
AREAS WITH SNOW LIKELY DEVELOPING AROUND SUNRISE OVER THE TUSAS...SHIFTING
EAST TO THE SANGRE DE CRISTOS BY MID MORNING OR SO. NORTHERLY FLOW
ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE TROUGH/LOW WILL SEND BACKDOOR PUSH THROUGH
THE NORTHEAST WEDNESDAY NIGHT...SPREADING SNOW FROM THE RATON/JOHNSON/BARTLETT
MESAS SOUTH. SNOW SHOWERS WILL LIKELY LINGER THROUGH THE DAY
THURSDAY OVER THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS AS SURFACE CONVERGENCE
COMBINES WITH LINGERING COLD AIR ALOFT/INSTABILITY.

HARD FREEZE LIKELY FOR MOST LOCATIONS OVER THE NORTH AND WEST WEDNESDAY
AND THURSDAY NIGHT...MORE MARGINAL FOR THE MIDDLE RIO GRANDE
VALLEY AND POINTS SOUTH. WARMING TREND WILL COMMENCE FRIDAY AND
CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH DRY NW FLOW ALOFT. ECWMF STILL
INDICATING ANOTHER VERY COLD CANADIAN AIRMASS DIVING SOUTH ALONG
THE LEE OF THE ROCKIES MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT. GFS NOT QUITE AS
COLD BUT THE SAME OVERALL IDEA. 33

.FIRE WEATHER...
A NEAR CLASSIC CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER EVENT HAS UNFOLDED ACROSS
NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NEW MEXICO. MAIN FLY IN THE OINTMENT HAS BEEN
THE PROTRUSION OF COOLER AND STABLE AIR INTO THE NORTHEAST AND EAST
CENTRAL PLAINS. BASED ON LATEST OBSERVATIONS...THIS POOL OF COOLER
AND MORE MOIST AIR SHOULD GET SCOURED BACK TO THE NORTH AND EAST AS
THE AFTERNOON PROGRESSES. THUS...WILL KEEP CURRENT HIGHLIGHTS OUT
ALTHOUGH PRETTY MUCH CAN EXCLUDE UNION COUNTY AND PORTIONS OF
HARDING AND COLFAX AS WELL. THE FLOW HAS BEEN TURBULENT UNDER MAINLY
ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND RIPE INSTABILITY ALOFT.

THE WINDS WILL DIMINISH SOME TONIGHT OR AS THE SUN SETS BUT REMAIN
PRETTY STRONG ACROSS THE HIGH MOUNTAIN RIDGES. THIS WILL SET THE
STAGE FOR THE MAIN TROUGH PASSAGE ON WEDNESDAY. THE STRONGEST UPPER
LEVEL FLOW WILL TRANSLATE SOUTH AND EASTWARD MOVING THE CRITICAL
AXIS FOR FIRE WEATHER GROWTH CONDITIONS SOUTHWARD AND EASTWARD.
STILL SEEING SOME SINGLE DIGIT HUMIDITIES ACROSS THE LOWER RIO
GRANDE VALLEY AND PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS BUT NOT NEARLY AS
IMPRESSIVE AS OBSERVED TODAY. MIXING HEIGHTS OVERALL LOWER ALTHOUGH
RAISE SOME ACROSS THE NORTHEAST AS THE BACK DOOR FRONT RETREATS
FURTHER NORTHEAST. STILL SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT BACK DOOR COLD
FRONT AND HOW FAR IT GETS PUSHED BACK. DECIDED TO KEEP IT MORE INTO
NEW MEXICO THAN WHAT CURRENT MODELS SHOW. THUS KEPT ZONE 104 AND TO
LESSER EXTENT 103 OUT OF THE WARNING.

A PACIFIC AND BACK DOOR COLD FRONT WILL ALSO SWEEP ACROSS THE STATE
WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. FIRST STARTING WITH WESTERN AND
CENTRAL AREAS...TRADITIONAL PACIFIC COLD FRONT BUT THEN FOLLOWED UP
BY THE BACK DOOR. STRONG WINDS WILL BE FELT WITH THIS FRONTAL
PASSAGE...ESPECIALLY EASTERN PLAINS WEDNESDAY EVENING. HIGHER
HUMIDITY AND MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES WILL BE FOUND BEHIND THE BACK
DOOR BUT THIS WILL SET THE STAGE FOR COOLER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES
ON THURSDAY.

PRECIPITATION CHANCES ASSOCIATED WITH THE TROUGH AND COLD FRONTAL
PASSAGE WILL MAINLY BE RELEGATED ACROSS THE NORTHERN THIRD LATER
WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY. SIMILAR TO WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING THE PAST
FEW WEEKS. WETTING PRECIPITATION CERTAINLY NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION
ALONG THE EAST SLOPES OF THE SANGRES LATER DURING THE PRECIPITATION
EVENT AS WELL AS ACROSS THE HIGHER WEST FACING PEAKS OF THE NORTH
CENTRAL MTNS.

RESIDUAL EFFECTS OF THE COOLER AIR WILL BE FELT ON FRIDAY ALTHOUGH
FRIDAY DOES START A WARMING TREND. MAX TEMPS AROUND 7 TO 12 DEGREES
BELOW NORMAL. VENTILATION WILL BE VARIED BUT GENERALLY GOOD ACROSS
THE FORECAST AREA. MUCH DRIER CONDITIONS AS RESIDUAL LOW DEWPOINTS
REMAIN FROM THE DROP THEY EXPERIENCE ON THURSDAY. LOWEST HUMIDITY
VALUES WITH SEVERAL HOURS OF SINGLE DIGITS EXPECTED ACROSS THE LOWER
RIO GRANDE VALLEY FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

BOTH GFS AND ECMWF MODELS DEPICT A BROAD NORTHWEST FLOW OVER THE
AREA DURING THE WEEKEND. THIS FLOW LOOKS TO BE DRIER WITH A GRADUAL
WARMING TREND. EMBEDDED DISTURBANCES CONTAINING SHOWERS SHOULD
REMAIN TO THE NORTH OF THE AREA ALTHOUGH THE ECMWF IS A BIT MORE
BULLISH FOR SOME HIGHER BASED PASSING SHOWERS ON SUNDAY.
TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE BACK TO NEAR NORMAL DURING THE WEEKEND.
PERHAPS A COUPLE DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL SOUTH. LOWEST HUMIDITY VALUES
WILL BE FOUND SOUTH.

BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF SHOW SOME SORT OF NORTHERLY WEATHER
DISTURBANCE DROPPING DOWN EARLY NEXT WEEK. PERHAPS SENDING A
STRONGER BACK DOOR COLD FRONT INTO THE PLAINS. A LITTLE UNCERTAIN AS
FAR AS HOW FAR SOUTH THIS DISTURBANCE GETS. THAT HAS RAMIFICATIONS
ON SOME PRECIPITATION. OTHERWISE...BROAD AND DRIER NORTHWEST FLOW
CONTINUES. 50

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHERN AND
CENTRAL NEW MEXICO.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

STRONG AND GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL IMPACT MOST OF THE REGION FROM
THE ARIZONA BORDER TO THE EAST SLOPES OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN
AND PORTIONS OF THE ADJACENT HIGHLANDS BEFORE SUNSET THIS EVENING.
SUSTAINED SPEEDS OF 25 TO 40 MPH WITH GUSTS TO AROUND 55 OR 60 MPH
ARE POSSIBLE...WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS ANTICIPATED OVER WEST
CENTRAL NEW MEXICO. THE WIND WILL PRODUCE AREAS OF REDUCED
VISIBILITIES IN BLOWING DUST...AFFECTING TRAVEL.

IN ADDITION TO THE STRONG WINDS...LOW HUMIDITIES WILL PREVAIL OVER
NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NEW MEXICO...LEADING TO WIDESPREAD CRITICAL
FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY

STRONG WINDS WILL REDEVELOP WEDNESDAY ESPECIALLY OVER THE SOUTH
CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AND EAST CENTRAL TO SOUTHEAST PLAINS. LOW HUMIDITY
WILL PERSIST OVER THESE AREAS...KEEPING CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS ONGOING WEDNESDAY. STRONG WINDS WILL ALSO RESULT IN AREAS
OF REDUCED VISIBILITIES IN BLOWING DUST.

SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS WEDNESDAY NIGHT WILL FAVOR THE SAN JUAN AND
SANGRE DE CRISTO MOUNTAINS AND ACROSS NORTHERN COLFAX COUNTY. FOUR
TO TO 7 INCHES OF SNOW ARE POSSIBLE IN THE HIGH TERRAIN WHILE 2 TO 4
INCHES COULD FALL OVER NORTHERN COLFAX COUNTY. GUSTY NORTH WINDS IN
THE NORTHEAST WEDNESDAY NIGHT COULD LOWER WIND CHILLS TO THE SINGLE
DIGITS AND CREATE LOCALIZED AREAS OF BLOWING SNOW.

COLDER AIR OVERSPREADING THE REGION WILL RESULT IN A HARD FREEZE
OVER MUCH OF THE AREA NORTH OF INTERSTATE 40 AND EAST OF INTERSTATE
25 WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHTS.

WEATHER CAN CHANGE VERY RAPIDLY. ALWAYS USE THE LATEST FORECASTS...
WATCHES AND WARNINGS FOR PLANNING PURPOSES.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
