AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
305 PM MDT MON OCT 7 2013

.DISCUSSION...
SUNSHINE...NEAR NORMAL TEMPS AND A FEW BREEZES CAN CHARACTERIZE THE
WEATHER SO FAR TODAY. MORE QUIET WX IS ON TAP TONIGHT...THOUGH SOME
HIGH CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE INTO THE AREA. THESE CLOUDS...AS
WELL AS SOME WIND ACROSS THE EAST...WILL KEEP TEMPS A FEW DEGREES
WARMER THAN LAST NIGHT.

TEMPS CONTINUE TO CLIMB ON TUESDAY. TEMPS WILL BE UP TO 10 DEGREES
ABOVE NORMAL...MAINLY ACROSS THE EAST. WINDS WILL ALSO INCREASE A
BIT MORE OVER TODAY. TEMPS WILL REMAIN WARM ON WEDNESDAY...AND WINDS
WILL INCREASE FURTHER.

WHILE WE ARE ENJOYING SUNSHINE AND SOME BREEZES...THE NEXT STORM
SYSTEM WILL BE DIVING SOUTH ACROSS THE GREAT BASIN AND BY
THURSDAY...IT WILL EJECT E-NE ACROSS THE FOUR CORNERS AREA. WHEN
THIS OCCURS...MUCH CHANGE WILL BE IN STORE FOR THE LAND OF
ENCHANTMENT. PRECIPITATION WILL BE BACK IN THE FORECAST...MAINLY FOR
NW/NC AREAS.  MUCH OF THE PRECIP SHOULD FALL AS RAIN SINCE IT WILL
BE LARGELY COMING THROUGH DURING THE DAYTIME HOURS.  SOME SNOW IS
POSSIBLE ACROSS THE HIGHEST PEAKS OF THE NORTHERN MTNS...AND SOME
LIGHT ACCUMS ARE POSSIBLE.  IN ADDITION TO THE PRECIP POTENTIAL...
WINDS WILL CRANK UP EVEN FURTHER. MANY AREAS COULD SEE GUSTS UPWARDS
OF 50 MPH...HENCE WIDESPREAD WIND ADVISORIES MAY BE IN THE OFFING.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST...COLDER TEMPERATURES WILL BE USHERED IN FROM
WEST TO EAST BEHIND A COLD FRONT. WESTERLY WINDS WILL REMAIN WINDY
BEHIND THE FRONT...WHICH WILL MAKE IT FEEL COLDER THAN THE ACTUAL
TEMP.

THE FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH EASTWARD THROUGH THE PLAINS THURSDAY
NIGHT...AND TEMPS ACROSS ALL AREAS WILL BE BELOW NORMAL ON FRIDAY.
THOUGH COOLER...WINDS WILL LESSEN.  BREEZES WILL STILL BE FOUND EAST
OF THE CENTRAL MTN CHAIN ALONG THE I-40 CORRIDOR...BUT MUCH LESS
WIND OVERALL.

WEEKEND LOOKS TO BE QUIET WITH WARMING TEMPS DESPITE SOME ENERGY
DIVING ON THE BACK SIDE OF THIS SYSTEM.  COULD BE SOME BREEZES AND
PERHAPS AN ISOLATED SHOWER ACROSS THE NORTH...BUT OTHERWISE...A
QUIET WEEKEND.

.FIRE WEATHER...
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AFTERNOONS
OVER PORTIONS OF THE EASTERN PLAINS. HAVE UPGRADED THE FIRE WEATHER
WATCH TO A RED FLAG WARNING FOR THE NORTHEAST AND EAST CENTRAL
PLAINS TUESDAY AFTERNOON. HAVE ALSO ISSUED A FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR
THE NORTHEAST HIGHLANDS AND PLAINS AND EAST CENTRAL PLAINS FOR
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.

RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER NEW MEXICO TODAY WILL SHIFT EAST AS A
DEEPENING TROUGH AND DEVELOPING CLOSED LOW TAKES SHAPE ACROSS THE
WESTERN U.S. THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THE SYSTEM WILL LIFT NORTHEAST
THURSDAY WITH STRONG WINDS POSSIBLE. A SECOND...WEAKER SHORT WAVE
TROUGH MAY CROSS THE STATE FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY.

WARMER AND DRIER CONDITIONS NOTED TODAY ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. IN
FACT...NEAR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS OCCURRING THIS AFTERNOON
IN THE NORTHEAST. RH RECOVERIES TONIGHT WILL ONLY BE FAIR TO POOR.

FLOW ALOFT TO BACK TO THE SOUTHWEST TUESDAY AND STRENGTHEN WHILE A
TIGHTER SURFACE GRADIENT DEVELOPS...RESULTING IN STRONGER WINDS AND
WARMER TEMPERATURES FOR THE EAST. WE EXPECT A FEW HOURS OF CRITICAL
FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS OVER THE NORTHEAST AND EAST CENTRAL PLAINS
TUESDAY AFTERNOON. HAVE THUS UPGRADED TO A RED FLAG WARNING IN THESE
TWO ZONES.

CLOSED LOW OVER CA WILL SHIFT EAST WEDNESDAY INTO NORTHERN AZ THEN
TURN NE AND WEAKEN SOME AS IT CROSSES NEAR OR NORTH OF THE FOUR
CORNERS REGION THURSDAY. MEANWHILE A SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP
ACROSS THE STATE THURSDAY. HIGHER WINDS EXPECTED WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY WITH BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS LIKELY AREA WIDE THURSDAY
AND STRONG WINDS POSSIBLE OVER THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL MOUNTAINS
INTO THE NORTHEAST. HAVE ISSUED A FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR THE
NORTHEAST HIGHLANDS...NORTHEAST PLAINS AND EAST CENTRAL PLAINS FOR
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. AN INCREASE IN LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND COOLER
TEMPERATURES BEHIND THURSDAYS COLD FRONT SHOULD RESULT IN MINIMUM
RH VALUES GREATER THAN 15 PERCENT AREA WIDE ON THURSDAY. BUT NOTE
THIS IS EXPECTED TO BE THE WINDIEST DAY OF THE WEEK. PRECIPITATION
WILL DEVELOP OVER NORTHWEST NM WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THEN INCREASE IN
COVERAGE TO ENCOMPASS THE WESTERN AND NORTHERN AREAS THURSDAY.
PRECIPITATION WILL THEN DIMINISH THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY. SOME
SNOW IS LIKELY OVER THE NORTHERN MOUNTAIN PEAKS THURSDAY INTO
FRIDAY WITH A FEW TO SEVERAL INCHES ACCUMULATION POSSIBLE.

WINDS WILL EASE ON FRIDAY WITH CHILLY TEMPERATURES AND MOSTLY DRY
CONDITIONS. AT LEAST THIS IS WHAT THE GFS IS INDICATING...AS IT
BRINGS A WEAK TRAILING TROUGH ACROSS THE STATE. THE CANADIAN AND
EUROPEAN BRING A SHARPER TRAILING SYSTEM THROUGH THE STATE LATER
FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY. REGARDLESS...PRECIPITATION LOOKS TO BE BE
MOSTLY LIGHT AND CONFINED TO THE NORTH FOR THE END OF THE WEEK WITH
BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES.

THE UPCOMING WEEKEND LOOKS TO BE DRY WITH SOME MODERATION IN
TEMPERATURES. WE WILL NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON OUR SOUTHEAST ZONES
THOUGH AS RETURN FLOW MOISTURE MAY TRY TO GENERATE A FEW SHOWERS AND
STORMS.

NO VENTILATION CONCERNS UNTIL WE GET TO THE WEEKEND. FAIR TO GOOD RH
RECOVERIES EACH NIGHT THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND...WITH SOME EXCELLENT RH
RECOVERIES IN THE EAST WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND NORTHWEST THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY NIGHTS.
