AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
315 PM MDT WED OCT 9 2013

.DISCUSSION...
A DYNAMIC WEATHER IMPACT PERIOD WILL UNFOLD OVER THE REGION TONIGHT
THRU FRIDAY WITH THE MAIN FOCUS FROM MID MORNING TO MID EVENING ON
THURSDAY. A VERY IMPRESSIVE -4 STD DEV 547DM H5 LOW PUSHING SLOWLY
SOUTHEAST ACROSS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WILL FILL TO 558DM OVER THE 4
CORNERS THURSDAY AFTERNOON. AMDAR OBSERVATIONS FROM AROUND PHOENIX
SHOW A 600-400MB WIND MAX OF 50-70KTS ON THE FRONT SIDE OF THE UPPER
LOW. THESE WINDS WILL BECOME FOCUSED OVER NM LATE TONIGHT INTO THE
AFTERNOON ON THURSDAY...LEADING TO A WIDESPREAD WINDY DAY. GIVEN
PLACEMENT AND MAX STRENGTH OF SPEED MAX HAVE GREATEST CONFIDENCE TO
UPGRADE HIGH WIND WATCH TO WARNING FOR THE SANGRES EAST OVER THE
NE HIGHLANDS...THE SANDIAS...AND SACRAMENTO MTS. WIND ADVISORIES
WILL BE IN PLACE FOR MUCH OF THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA EXCEPT THE
NW CORNER AND THE SE PLAINS.

ABOVE CLIMO PWAT VALUES AND STRONG UPPER DIVERGENCE ASSCD WITH THIS
SYSTEM WILL ALLOW FOR DECENT QPF VALUES OVER SW FACING SLOPES OF THE
NORTHERN HIGH TERRAIN AHEAD OF AND JUST BEHIND THE FRONT. WPC QPF
VALUES ARE ON THE ORDER OF 0.25-0.50 INCHES HOWEVER MOST OF THIS
WILL OCCUR IN THE WARM SECTOR FOR OUR REGION. STRONG COLD ADVECTION
BEHIND THE FRONT WILL LEAD TO SOME WESTERLY UPSLOPE SNOWS HOWEVER
ACCUMS WILL BE RELEGATED TO AREAS ABOVE 9000 FT. 1 TO 4 INCHES ARE
POSSIBLE WITHIN AREAS EAST OF CHAMA...THE JEMEZ MTS OVER REDONDO
PEAK...ABOVE TAOS SKI VALLEY...AND AROUND PECOS BALDY. WILL NOT
ISSUE ANY HIGHLIGHTS FOR THIS MINIMAL COVERAGE. TEMPS WILL MAKE
THEIR IMPACT AS WELL WITH READINGS 15 TO 20F COLDER THURSDAY FOR
THE NW CORNER...AND POTENTIAL HIGHS IN THE EARLY AFTERNOON OVER
CENTRAL NM.

SKIES WILL CLEAR INTO FRIDAY FOR MOST AREAS WITH MAX TEMPS 5 TO 10F
BLW NORMAL UNDER BREEZY WEST NORTHWEST FLOW. MIN TEMPS ARE NOT AS
COLD BEHIND THIS SYSTEM AS PREVIOUS WITH MORE ZONAL FLOW KICKING IN
QUICKLY BY SATURDAY MORNING. CONDITIONS WILL BE NICE ONCE AGAIN
FOR MOST OF THE REGION THRU SUNDAY. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE THE FAR
EASTERN AND SE PLAINS SUNDAY WHERE STRENGTHENING RETURN FLOW
INCREASES MOIST ADVECTION AS A STRONG HIGH BUILDS OVER THE WESTERN
GULF. INCREASED POPS INTO THE SLIGHT CHANCE CATEGORY AND PLACED
MOSTLY CLOUDY IN GRIDS. MODELS ARE NOT CONSISTENT REGARDING THE
NEXT UPPER WAVE THAT MAY SLIDE SE SOMEWHERE OVER THE FOUR CORNERS/
COLORADO MONDAY.

.FIRE WEATHER...
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE CURRENTLY DEVELOPING ACROSS
PORTIONS OF EASTERN NEW MEXICO. AN INTENSIFYING LEE SIDE TROUGH IN
COLORADO IS HELPING INCREASE WIND SPEEDS ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS
AS RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES SLOWLY DIP TO THRESHOLD LEVELS WITH
DAYTIME HEATING. ELSEWHERE...THE ENCROACHMENT OF THE NEXT STORM
SYSTEM IS CREATING INCREASED WIND SPEEDS AND CLOUD COVERAGE ACROSS
CENTRAL AND WESTERN NEW MEXICO. PRECIPITATION IS POSSIBLE ACROSS THE
FAR NORTHWEST MOUNTAINS OVERNIGHT TONIGHT...THOUGH AMOUNTS WILL BE
LESS THAN A TENTH OF AN INCH.

THE UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM WILL PUSH ACROSS NORTHERN/CENTRAL NEW MEXICO
THURSDAY AND BRING A WEST TO EAST SWEEPING COLD FRONT. MOISTURE WILL
INCREASE AHEAD OF THE FRONT...WITH THE BEST CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION
ACROSS NORTHWEST THIRD OF NEW MEXICO AND EVEN SOME MOUNTAIN TOP SNOW.
A STRONG MID LEVEL JET SOUTH OF THE CENTER OF THE STORM SYSTEM WILL
PUSH ACROSS MUCH OF CENTRAL AND NORTHERN NM THROUGH THE DAY
THURSDAY.  AS A RESULT...WINDS WILL BE WINDY TO VERY WINDY FOR MUCH
OF THE FORECAST AREA...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT.
GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 55 MPH IS POSSIBLE FOR SOME OF THE HIGHER
TERRAIN ALONG THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN. DESPITE THE STRONGER
WINDS...NO CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
AS THE COMBO OF COOLER TEMPERATURES AND SLIGHT INCREASE OF MOISTURE
WILL KEEP RELATIVE HUMIDITIES ABOVE CRITICAL LEVELS. DAYTIME HIGHS
WILL RANGE BETWEEN 10 TO 20 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. VENT RATES WILL
REMAIN EXCELLENT THROUGH THURSDAY DUE TO HIGH TRANSPORT WINDS. OVERNIGHT
RECOVERIES WILL BE GOOD TO EXCELLENT WEST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS
AND FAIR TO THE EAST.

A FEW HOURS OF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER COULD DEVELOP ALONG THE I40
CORRIDOR FROM SANTA ROSA EAST TO THE NM/TX STATE LINE FRIDAY. A
RESIDUAL LOBE OF ENERGY WILL HELP KEEP BREEZY WINDS ALONG AND EAST
OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN. COMBINED WITH LOWER RH VALUES...THIS
WILL CREATE LOCALIZED RED FLAG CONDITIONS. CONFIDENCE IS LOW FOR
MORE WIDESPREAD IMPACTS AS RECENT MODEL GUIDANCE TREND WINDS DOWN
AND RH VALUES UP...RESULTING IN MORE BORDERLINE CONDITIONS. VENT
RATES WILL TREND DOWN ACROSS MUCH OF CENTRAL AND WESTERN NM AS WINDS
DECREASE AND MIXING HEIGHTS LOWER. HOWEVER...VENT RATES WILL REMAIN
GOOD FROM FARMINGTON SOUTHEAST TO ALBUQUERQUE AND ACROSS MUCH OF
NORTHERN AND SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO. TEMPERATURES WILL BEGIN TO WARM
ACROSS FAR WESTERN NM...BUT WILL CONTINUE TO COOL ACROSS CENTRAL AND
EASTERN NM AS THE COLDER AIR SETTLES IN. DAYTIME RH VALUES WILL
TREND DOWN AS DRIER AIR BEHIND THE COLD FRONT MOVE IN. OVERNIGHT RH
RECOVERIES WILL BE FAIR TO GOOD FOR MOST OF THE STATE WITH EXCELLENT
VALUES IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN IN NORTHWEST NM.

THIS WEEKEND WILL BE A TRANSITION PERIOD FROM THE LAST STORM SYSTEM
TO THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM. A SLIGHT RIDGE WILL DEVELOP SATURDAY
BEFORE MORE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT DEVELOPS SUNDAY. DRIER AIR AND
LIGHTER WINDS WILL BE THE GENERAL RULE BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. THE
ONLY EXCEPTION WILL BE AN INCREASE OF MOISTURE AND POTENTIAL FOR
SHOWERS ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS. MODELS ONLY RECENTLY BEGAN
BRINGING THIS MOISTURE SURGE FOR SUNDAY...SO CONFIDENCE IN THIS
FEATURE IS LOW. TEMPERATURES WARM TO NEAR NORMAL VALUES THROUGH
SUNDAY WHILE RH VALUES WILL CHANGE VERY LITTLE EACH DAY. A SLIGHT
REDUCTION OF MIXING HEIGHTS AND VENT RATES SATURDAY WILL BE
COUNTERED BY A SLIGHT INCREASE OF MIXING HEIGHTS AND VENT RATES
SUNDAY.

MODELS STILL DEPICT THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM TO DEVELOP OVER THE GREAT
BASIN LATE SUNDAY AND BEGIN IMPACTING THE STATE MONDAY. CURRENT
TRENDS DEPICT THE CENTER OF THE STORM TO BE WELL TO THE
NORTH...LEAVING DRIER AIR AND STRONGER WINDS FOR MUCH OF NEW MEXICO.
A BACKDOOR FRONT IS PROGGED TO MOVE SOUTH ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS
LATE MONDAY INTO TUESDAY MORNING AS THE CENTER OF THIS SYSTEM EJECTS
EAST. SOME PRECIPITATION BEHIND THIS FRONT IS POSSIBLE...BUT NO
MODEL CONSENSUS ON THIS FEATURE. MODELS REALLY DIVERGE TUESDAY AND
BEYOND...WITH THE ECMWF DEPICTING A SECOND STORM DEVELOPING IN THE
WAKE OF THE MONDAY STORM AND PUSHING ACROSS THE STATE THROUGH
WEDNESDAY.  THE GFS REALLY GOES AGAINST THIS BY HAVING A RIDGE AND
MORE STABLE CONDITIONS TO DEVELOP IN THE WAKE OF THE MONDAY STORM.
SO LITTLE CONFIDENCE IN THE FORECAST FOR THIS PERIOD AND BEYOND.

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF CYCLE
VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS AT TERMINAL SITES.
THE COMBO OF INCREASED WINDS ALOFT AND DEVELOPING LEE SIDE TROUGH
WILL CREATE GUSTY CONDITIONS DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON ACROSS THE
STATE...WITH GUSTS UP TO 35KTS POSSIBLE ACROSS WESTERN NM. SOME
SHOWERS MAY DEVELOP TONIGHT OVER FAR NW NM AS STORM SYSTEM
APPROACHES...THOUGH LOW CONFIDENCE IN SHOWERS IMPACTING KFMN.
PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL INCREASE THROUGH THURSDAY WITH VCSH IN
THE LATE MORNING FOR KFMN. OBSCURATION OF MOUNTAIN TOPS IS
POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT AS STORM SYSTEM MOVES CLOSER TO STATE.
