.PREV DISCUSSION...625 PM MST FRI MAR 8 2013...
CANCELLED WIND ADVISORY WITH ALL OBSERVATIONS WITHIN THE ADVISORY
AREA DROPPING BELOW WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA IN THE PAST HOUR OR TWO.
UPDATED ZONES TO REMOVE WIND ADIVISORY WORDING.

.PREV DISCUSSION...256 PM MST FRI MAR 8 2013...
ACTIVE PATTERN INTO THE WEEKEND THEN A RETURN TO
QUIET/UNEVENTFUL WX BEGINNING MONDAY AND THRU THE REMAINDER OF THE
FORECAST PERIOD. WILL EXTEND CURRENT WIND ADVISORY THROUGH TONIGHT FOR
PORTIONS OF LINCOLN AND SW CHAVES COUNTIES. WILL LET WIND ADVISORY
RIDE UNTIL 8 PM FOR THE REMAINING ZONES...THOUGH LOOKING MARGINAL
AT THIS TIME. NO CHANGES PLANNED TO THE WINTER STORM WARNINGS OR
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES.

545 DAM 500MB LOW CENTERED NEAR SAN DIEGO HAS BEGUN TO PIVOT NORTHEAST
AND IS EXPECTED TO ACCELERATE TOWARD THE FOUR CORNERS REGION DURING
THE OVERNIGHT. SEVERAL VORTICITY LOBES PRECEDING THE MAIN LOW
MAKING FOR A CONVECTIVELY ACTIVE AFTERNOON WITH SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS
SHOWERS OF RAIN...GRAUPEL...AND HIGHER ELEVATION SNOW ACCOMPANIED
BY THUNDER ACROSS THE WESTERN TWO-THIRDS OF THE FORECAST AREA.
SNOW ACCUMULATION LEVELS WILL QUICKLY LOWER FROM WEST TO EAST LATE
THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING.

BULK OF THE ON-GOING TSTM ACTIVITY WILL QUICKLY WANE TOWARD SUNSET
WITH THE FOCUS FOR ORGANIZED PRECIPITATION SHIFTING TO THE NORTHERN
AND WESTERN HIGH TERRAIN. DESPITE DIURNAL STABILIZATION AND A
COOLER AIR MASS SPREADING EASTWARD....LAPSE RATES WILL REMAIN VERY
FAVORABLE TONIGHT FROM WC INTO NC NEW MEXICO  AS THE MID- LEVEL
COLD POOL MIGRATES EASTWARD. THAT COMBINED WITH FAVORABLE
OROGRAPHICS SHOULD RESULT IN DECENT SNOWFALL TOTALS FOR THE WEST
AND SOUTHWEST ASPECTS OF THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS...AND THE WEST
CENTRAL MOUNTAINS. LESS CONFIDENT ABOUT THE UPPER GILA REGION AS
BEST CHANCE HERE MORE STRONGLY TIED TO THE MAIN FRONTAL PRECIP
BAND ONCE IT ARRIVES LATER THIS EVENING.

500MB LOW CENTER TO TRACK NEAR OR JUST NORTH OF THE NM/CO LINE
DURING THE DAY SATURDAY...STRENGTHENING SLIGHTLY ONCE IT EMERGES
EAST OF THE SANGRE DE CRISTOS BY MIDDAY OR EARLY AFTERNOON. NICE
TROWAL AIRSTREAM EXPECTED TO SET-UP OVER NC AND EVENTUALLY NERN
NM...BUT TO WHAT EXTENT AND HOW LONG REMAINS IN QUESTION AS
SECONDARY ENERGY DROPPING SOUTH THRU EASTERN ARIZONA MAY REFOCUS
BETTER QPF OVER WESTERN NM. REGARDLESS...THE WESTERN AND NORTHERN
TERRAIN SHOULD CONTINUE TO SEE FAIRLY PERSISTENT SNOW SHOWERS.
THE SANGRES WILL BE ESPECIALLY FAVORED WITHIN THE UNSTABLE NWLY
FLOW ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE DEPARTING LOW. OVERALL...THE DURATION
OF THIS EVENT IS MOST FAVORABLE AND IT WILL BE A SHOWERY REGIME
WITH LOWER ELEVATION AREAS EXPERIENCING MOST OF THE ACTIVITY
DURING THE MIDDAY/PM HOURS SATURDAY. STRONG BACKDOOR COLD FRONT
INTO THE NE MAY REQUIRE A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR COMBO OF
WIND AND SNOW...ESPECIALLY BETWEEN RATON AND CLAYTON.

AF FOR WINDS SATURDAY...WIND ADVISORY LOOKS LIKELY FOR AREAS EAST
OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN AND WE COULD FLIRT WITH HIGH WIND
ACROSS THEN NORTHEAST SATURDAY EVENING AS THE BACKDOOR FRONT
SURGES SOUTH. WILL LET A LATER SHIFT REISSUE WIND HIGHLIGHTS FOR
THE DAY SATURDAY.

MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES SATURDAY WILL SLOWLY MODERATE FROM WEST
TO EAST ON SUNDAY...WITH A MORE MARKED WARMING TREND COMMENCING
MONDAY.

LESS ACTIVE OVERALL FOR SUNDAY...BUT STILL ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
PRECIP COVERAGE FAVORING THE HIGHER TERRAIN ESPECIALLY WC/SW.
QUIET AND UNEVENTFUL MONDAY AND BEYOND.  KJ

.FIRE WEATHER...
WETTING PACIFIC STORM SYSTEM HAS SPREAD PRECIPITATION INTO
WESTERN AND CENTRAL AREAS TODAY. THIS PRECIPITATION WILL TRY TO
SPREAD INTO THE EASTERN PLAINS BUT MOST LIKELY NOT NEARLY AS
POTENT AS WHAT THEY WILL SEE ACROSS WESTERN AND CENTRAL AREAS.
SNOW LEVELS WILL FALL TONIGHT. GUSTY WINDS WILL ALSO CONTINUE.
SOME DECOUPLING OF THE WINDS ACROSS THE LOWLANDS EXPECTED TONIGHT
BUT A RESUMPTION OF STRONGER WINDS WILL OCCUR ON SATURDAY AS THE
MAIN PACIFIC FRONT CROSSES OVER THE AREA. BACK DOOR FRONT AND
PERHAPS SOME LOCALIZED SNOWFALL WILL BE FOUND ACROSS THE
EAST...ESPECIALLY NORTHEAST SATURDAY NIGHT. RESIDUAL LIGHTER
SHOWERS EXPECTED OVER THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL MTNS ON SUNDAY.
COOLER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR THE WEEKEND. HUMIDITY VALUES
WILL GENERALLY BE ON THE HIGHER SIDE ALTHOUGH SOME TEENS WILL BE
POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE EAST CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST PLAINS
DURING THE WEEKEND.

MODELS REMAIN CONSISTENT WITH A DRIER AND WARMER FLOW FOR NEXT WEEK.
THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF A DRY WEAK WAVE PASSAGE LATER TUESDAY
BUT NOTHING CONCRETE. BASICALLY A BROAD UPPER RIDGE DEVELOPS.
CONFIDENCE REMAINS PRETTY GOOD FOR THIS SCENARIO ALTHOUGH DAY TO DAY
VENT AND SURFACE WIND TRENDS ARE A BIT HARDER TO PROJECT AT THIS
TIME. OUR CURRENT FORECAST CALLS FOR THE HIGHEST AREA WIDE VENT RATES
ON MONDAY. LOWERING TREND ACROSS THE NORTHERN MTNS ON TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY. ALTHOUGH THIS COULD CHANGE AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE
PERIOD. STAY TUNED TO THAT. SUSPECT VENT RATES WILL END UP BEING A
BIT BETTER AS WE ARE IN MARCH NOW.
