QUICK RELATIVELY MINOR UPDATE MAINLY TO RAISE HIGH TEMPS THIS
AFTN GENERALLY BETWEEN 1 AND 3 DEGREES OVER MOST OF THE EAST AND A
DEGREE OR TWO IN MAJORITY OF THE WEST. ALSO TO TRIM BACK POPS A
BIT FURTHER ACROSS THE SE THIRD OF FCST AREA...WHILE ADDING JUST A
BIT TO POPS IN FAR NE UNION CO TO ACCT FOR CLOSE PROXIMITY OF A
FRONT TO THAT AREA. ALSO OF NOTE...SPC REMOVED THE SEE TEXT
DESIGNATION FROM E NM...INDICATIVE OF EVEN LOWER SEVERE RISK
THERE.

.PREV DISCUSSION...330 AM MDT SAT JUN 22 2013...
DRY LINE HAS MADE WESTWARD PROGRESS AGAIN DURING THE LATE NIGHT HOURS
BUT HAS NOT SOLIDLY REACHED THE EAST SLOPES OF THE CENTRAL MT CHAIN
AS IT DID 24 HRS AGO. IT HAS REACHED KLVS AND LOOKS AS SOME MOISTURE
MAY BE ATTEMPTING TO SNEAK NWD INTO THE LOWER RGV BUT OVERALL NOT AS
IMPRESSIVE A RETURN AS ON THURSDAY NIGHT. MODELS CONTINUE THE
ESTABLISHED TREND OF MIXING OUT THE MOISTURE DURING THE DAY...AND
PROPELLING THE BOUNDARY FARTHER EAST THIS AFTERNOON THAN IT WAS ON
FRIDAY AFTERNOON. INHERITED POPS SEEM GOOD RIGHT NOW...EXCEPT MAY
NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON CONVECTIVE COMPLEX OVER NRN OLD MEXICO WHICH
APPEARS TO BE SPEWING A BOUNDARY/CLOUDINESS NWD...HOWEVER...WITH THE
STRONGER SW/WLYS ALOFT FORECAST TO SAG SWD DURING THE DAY
TODAY...MOST LIKELY NOT AS MUCH OF A CONCERN FOR OUR CWA. OTHERWISE
ANOTHER BATCH OF CIRRUS TO PASS OVERHEAD THIS MORNING.

SUBTLE CHANGES IN TEMPS NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS HEIGHTS FALL A BIT
AND MOISTURE CONTINUES TO SLOSH BACK AND FORTH. SURFACE FRONT WHICH
WAS INITIALLY FORECAST TO REMAIN TO OUR NORTH ON SUNDAY NOW APPEARS
TO SAG FARTHER SOUTH INTO NORTHEAST NM...WITH AN ATTENDANT INCREASE
IN DEW POINTS AND INSTAB OVER THE REGION. CONSEQUENTLY WENT AHEAD AND
SPREAD SOME LOW POPS BACK INTO MAINLY THE NORTHEAST PLAINS FOR
SUNDAY AND SUNDAY EVENING AS WELL AS DROPPED HIGHS A COUPLE OF
DEGREES. AFTERNOON BREEZES BOTH TODAY AND SUNDAY STILL ON TAP.

FOR MONDAY THERE REMAINS A HINT OF MOISTURE SEEPING INTO SOUTHERN NM
BUT PERHAPS NOT QUITE AS FAR NORTH AS INTERSTATE 40...DECIDED TO NOT
YO-YO POP GRID AS OF YET. UPPER RIDGE STILL FORECAST TO BUILD OVER
NM BY NEXT TUESDAY...AND MAJORITY OF MOISTURE SHOULD BE SHUNTED TO
OUR WEST. UPPER HIGH CENTER SHIFTS TO THE FOUR CORNERS LATER NEXT
WEEK...ALLOWING A FRONT TO SLIDE INTO NORTHEAST NM. HIGHS IN THE
EAST SHOULD COOL A BIT WITH CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS WHILE THE
WEST REMAINS HOT. IF THE HIGH CENTER RETREATS INTO THE GREAT BASIN
AS CURRENTLY PREDICTED...SOME OF THOSE SHOWERS AND STORMS COULD WORK
INTO CENTRAL/WRN NM LATE NEXT WEEKEND.

.FIRE WEATHER...
PROLONGED CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER PATTERN WILL PERSIST THROUGH AT
LEAST THE WEEKEND.  RED FLAG WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR AREAS
ALONG AND EAST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN AS WELL AS THE NORTH
CENTRAL MOUNTAINS TODAY. HAVE ALSO ADDED THE NORTHWEST AND WEST
CENTRAL HIGHLANDS AND RIO GRANDE VALLEY INTO THE RED FLAG
WARNING...THOUGH WINDS WILL BE MARGINAL IN THIS AREA.  FIRE WEATHER
WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR SUNDAY FOR AREAS ALONG AND EAST OF THE
CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN...INCLUDING THE NORTH CENTRAL MOUNTAINS.

DRY LINE HAS RETREATED UP TO THE EAST SLOPES OF THE SANGRE DE CRISTO
MOUNTAINS THIS MORNING...BUT HAS NOT SEEPED INTO THE RIO GRANDE
VALLEY LIKE LAST NIGHT. THUS...WITH STRONG MIXING...EXPECT THE
DRY LINE TO MIX FARTHER EAST THAN TODAY. THIS WILL LIMIT ANY TSTMS
AND WETTING RAIN POTENTIAL TO THE FAR EAST CENTRAL PLAINS...AND
SPREAD CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ACROSS THE NORTHEAST PLAINS
AS WELL AS WESTERN PORTIONS OF ZONE 108. MEANWHILE...10 OR MORE
HOURS OF SINGLE DIGIT HUMIDITIES ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE WEST AND
RIO GRANDE VALLEY.  THOUGH WIND SPEEDS WILL BE MARGINAL IN THIS
AREA...VERY LOW HUMIDITIES COMBINED WITH VERY UNSTABLE CONDITIONS...
SUPERHAINES...VERY DRY FUELS AND MORE SUNSHINE THIS AFTERNOON THAN
YESTERDAY...DECIDED TO ADD ZONES 105...106 AND 109 TO THE RED FLAG
WARNING. AREAS AROUND GALLUP...THE LOWER PORTIONS OF THE RIO GRANDE
VALLEY AND AREAS AROUND THE SAN MATEO AND MAGDALENA MOUNTAINS WILL
BE THE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS.

THE PATTERN DOES NOT CHANGE APPRECIABLY INTO SUNDAY. HAVE LEFT THE
FIRE WEATHER WATCH INTACT FOR AREAS ALONG AND EAST OF THE CENTRAL
MTN CHAIN...BUT CONCERN DOES EXIST FOR PORTIONS OF THE WEST AGAIN.
AT THE LEAST...COULD SEE AN HOUR OR TWO OF CRITICAL CONDITIONS
ACROSS ZONES 105 AND 109. WINDS WILL AGAIN BE THE LIMITING
FACTOR...AS MINIMUM HUMIDITIES WILL BE IN THE SINGLE DIGITS FOR
SEVERAL HOURS.

MONDAY LOOKS TO BE MORE OF THE SAME...THOUGH WINDS MAY BE A BIT
STRONGER AREA WIDE.  THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR SEVERAL HOURS OF
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ALONG AND EAST OF THE CENTRAL
MOUNTAINS AND WEST OF THE DRY LINE. CRITICAL CONDITIONS WILL ALSO BE
POSSIBLE ACROSS THE WEST.

WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE DIURNAL SLOSHING OF THE DRY LINE TONIGHT
THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...BUT DO NOT BELIEVE MOISTURE WILL SEEP WEST OF
THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN ANY OF THOSE NIGHTS.  THUS CONTINUE TO
EXPECT POOR RH RECOVERIES CENTRAL AND WESTERN AREAS...AND GOOD TO
EXCELLENT RECOVERIES ACROSS THE PLAINS.

BY TUESDAY...THE PATTERN WILL BEGIN TO SHIFT. THE UPPER HIGH OVER
TEXAS WILL BEGIN TO BUILD WESTWARD...CENTERED NEAR EL PASO TX BY
TUESDAY AFTERNOON. WITH THIS HIGH POSITION...IT LEAVES LITTLE CHANCE
FOR ANY MOISTURE TO CREEP NORTHWARD OUT OF MEXICO. THE UPPER HIGH
SHIFTS NORTHWARD ON WEDNESDAY...CENTERING ITSELF OVER THE NORTH
CENTRAL MOUNTAINS BY THE AFTERNOON HOURS. WITH THE UPPER HIGH OVER
THE AREA...EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO BE 5 TO 15 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL
AREA WIDE...WITH MINIMUM HUMIDITIES IN THE SINGLE DIGITS.
HOWEVER...WINDS WILL BE LIGHT.  THE UPPER HIGH WILL CONTINUE TO
STRENGTHEN THURSDAY...BUT WILL SHIFT WESTWARD SLIGHTLY.  THIS WILL
ALLOW A BACK DOOR FRONT TO MOVE INTO THE PLAINS AND INCREASE LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE.  IF THE ECMWF IS CORRECT...THE MOISTURE MAY CREEP
WESTWARD ALL THE WAY TO THE ARIZONA BORDER.

VENTILATION WILL BE EXCELLENT THROUGH MONDAY...BUT WILL START TO
TREND DOWNWARD SLIGHTLY TUESDAY AND MORE SO WEDNESDAY AS THE UPPER
HIGH SHIFTS OVER NM AND TRANSPORT WINDS WEAKEN.  HOWEVER...MOST
AREAS SHOULD REMAIN IN THE GOOD CATEGORY OR BETTER.
