AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
309 PM MDT MON APR 15 2013

.DISCUSSION...
WARM...WINDY AND DRY UNTIL A BIG CHANGE MID WEEK. AT 12Z...THE
SYSTEM THAT BROUGHT VERY WINDY CONDITIONS TO THE AREA SUNDAY WAS
PROGRESSING NORTHEAST ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS INTO THE GREAT
LAKES REGION...WITH A SECOND SPEED-MAX MOVING EAST ACROSS COLORADO.
ALL OF THIS AHEAD OF AN ANOMALOUSLY COLD TROUGH TAKING SHAPE
ACROSS THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. THE UPPER FLOW IS BACKING IN
RESPONSE TO THIS DEVELOPING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH. WARM AIR
ADVECTION IN THE MID LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE WAS NOTED IN THE 12Z
UPPER AIR DATA...AND THIS SHOULD PERSIST TOMORROW AS THE UPPER
FLOW CONTINUES TO BACK TO THE SOUTHWEST. EXPECT A WARM
NIGHT...WITH TEMPERATURES WELL ABOVE NORMAL AND AN AVERAGE 4
DEGREES WARMER THAN LAST NIGHT'S.

TUESDAY WILL BE WARMER...WINDIER AND DRIER THAN TODAY. FIRE
WEATHER CONCERNS CONTINUE TUESDAY (SEE BELOW FOR DETAILS). A WIND
ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE REQUIRED FOR A MAJORITY OF THE AREA.
AS A RESULT...BLOWING DUST WILL BE MORE WIDESPREAD THAN WHAT WE
ARE SEEING THIS AFTERNOON. TUESDAY MAY BE THE WARMEST DAY OF THE
SEASON SO FAR. WE ARE GOING FOR A HIGH OF 90 IN ROSWELL...WHICH
WAS ACTUALLY HIT EARLY THIS YEAR ON MARCH 15TH. THE AVERAGE 1ST
80+ DEGREE DAY FOR ALBUQUERQUE (INCLUDING OLD DATA) IS APRIL
16TH...AND WE'LL BE CLOSE TOMORROW.

THE BIG CHANGE COMES WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY WITH A MAJOR LEAGUE COOL
DOWN BEHIND A STRONG COLD FRONT. THE COLD FRONT WILL PUSH FROM
WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE STATE DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY AND WILL BE
LATE ENOUGH THAT MUCH OF THE EAST...AND ESPECIALLY THE
SOUTHEAST...WILL BE ABLE TO CLIMB ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURE-WISE.
WIND HIGHLIGHTS WILL LIKELY BE REQUIRED FOR WEDNESDAY AS WELL.
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS ARE IN PLAY FOR WEDNESDAY TOO...SEE BELOW
FOR DETAILS. IN ADDITION...SHOWERS ARE LIKELY ACROSS THE WEST AND
NORTH BEHIND THE FRONT WEDNESDAY...WITH THE FOCUS SHIFTING TO THE
NORTHEAST AND NORTHERN MOUNTAINS WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY
THURSDAY. A FEW INCHES OF SNOW ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE HIGHER
TERRAIN OF THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS AND ALONG THE RATON MESA...WITH
PERHAPS AN INCH OR SO ACROSS THE ADJACENT HIGHLANDS AND FAR
NORTHEAST PLAINS.THE 12Z MODEL SOLUTIONS ARE SHOWING -7 TO -9C AT
700MB BY 12Z THURSDAY AND THE GEFS MEAN IS -2 TO -3 STANDARD
DEVIATIONS BELOW NORMAL FOR TEMPS AT 700 AND 500MB OVER THE
NORTHERN HALF OF THE STATE. THIS COOL DOWN WILL BE SIMILAR TO THE
COOL DOWN ON THE 9TH OF THIS MONTH. WELL BELOW NORMAL LOWS
WEDNESDAY NIGHT WILL BE DUE MAINLY TO STRONG COLD AIR
ADVECTION...WHEREAS THE WELL BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES THURSDAY
NIGHT WILL BE DUE TO LOWER DAYTIME HIGHS THURSDAY AND GOOD
NOCTURNAL RADIATIONAL COOLING. FREEZE AND/OR HARD FREEZE WARNINGS
WILL LIKELY BE REQUIRED FOR PORTIONS OF OUR AREA THAT ARE PAST THE
AVERAGE LAST FREEZE DATE. THAT SAID...WE ARE NOT CURRENTLY
FORECASTING A FREEZE ACROSS THE ALBUQUERQUE METRO AREA WEDNESDAY
NIGHT OR THURSDAY NIGHT.

TEMPERATURES WILL MODERATE FRIDAY AND HIGHS WILL BE CLOSE TO
NORMAL BY THE WEEKEND WITH A MODERATE NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. A
WEAK SHORTWAVE TROUGH MAY GRAZE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE
SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY AND BRING A FEW SHOWERS TO THE NORTHERN
MOUNTAINS AND ADJACENT HIGHLANDS...ALTHOUGH WETTING PRECIPITATION
IS NOT EXPECTED.
