AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
314 AM MDT WED MAY 29 2013

.DISCUSSION...
AT 00Z...THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AXIS WAS ORIENTED NORTH TO SOUTH
ACROSS WESTERN UTAH AND ARIZONA. THIS TROUGH IS COMING IN A TAD
FURTHER SOUTH AND SLOWER THAN WAS MODELED 24HRS AGO...WHICH
EXPLAINS WHY THE DRYLINE HAS YET TO VACATE NEW MEXICO. AS OF
08Z...THE DRYLINE WAS LOCATED ALONG A RATON TO FORT SUMNER TO
PICACHO LINE. THE DEWPOINT TEMPERATURE WAS 63 AT ROSWELL...BUT
ONLY 7 AT SIERRA BLANCA REGIONAL AIRPORT. A LOW LEVEL JET OF SORTS
DEVELOPED ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS AND RESULTED IN SOUTHERLY
WINDS APPROACHING WIND ADVISORY THRESHOLDS. THIS ENERGY WILL BE
USED UP EAST OF OUR AREA LATER TODAY ACROSS WESTERN PORTIONS OF
THE SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL PLAINS WHERE THE SPC HAS PLACED A
MODERATE RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. THE 06Z NAM12 LATCHED ONTO
THE DRYLINE AND PUSHES/MIXES IT EAST INTO TEXAS BY LATE MORNING.
THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AXIS WILL MOVE OVERHEAD TODAY...ACCOMPANIED
BY STRONG WINDS ALOFT. DEEP LAYER MIXING LATER TODAY WILL TAP INTO
500MB FLOW...WHERE MODELS ARE SHOWING A STRIP OF 40-50KTS OVER
CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE STATE BETWEEN 21-06Z. WILL BE ISSUING A
WIND ADVISORY FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING ALONG THE
SANDIA/MANZANO MOUNTAINS AND SOUTH CENTRAL HIGHLANDS EAST TO THE
TEXAS BORDER. MUCH OF THAT AREA IS EXTREMELY DUST PRONE...SO WILL
EMPHASIZE AREAS OF BLOWING DUST. WILL LIKELY SEE SOME BLOWING DUST
HERE IN THE MIDDLE AND LOWER RIO GRANDE VALLEY LATER TODAY AS
WELL...BUT NOT QUITE THE VISIBILITY LIMITATIONS THAT WE'RE EXPECTED
OUT EAST. A RED FLAG WARNING IS IN EFFECT FOR THE ENTIRE AREA AS
WELL (SEE FIRE WX DISCUSSION BELOW FOR DETAILS).

STRONG WINDS ALOFT IN A WNW FLOW WILL PERSIST ON THURSDAY IN THE
WAKE OF THE EXITING TROUGH. MORE WINDY CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST AND
ADDITIONAL WIND ADVISORIES MAY BE NEEDED...MAINLY EAST SLOPES OF
THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN AND ADJACENT HIGHLANDS. THE WIND TREND
IS UP FOR FRIDAY AS WELL...ALTHOUGH THE LATEST MODEL DATA SHOWS AN
EASING ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN ZONES. ADDITIONAL WIND ADVISORIES MAY
BE REQUIRED ON FRIDAY AS WELL. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE BACK UP
BY FRIDAY...TO 100 AT ROSWELL AND INTO THE UPPER 80S IN THE
ALBUQUERQUE METRO AREA...AS PRESSURE HEIGHTS INCREASE OVER MUCH OF
THE STATE.

WINDS WILL TREND DOWN OVER THE WEEKEND AS THE UPPER FLOW RELAXES
WITH A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING OVER THE AREA. A WEAK COLD
FRONT IS FORECAST TO PUSH DOWN THE EASTERN PLAINS FRIDAY NIGHT AND
WILL PROVIDE UPSLOPE FLOW SATURDAY AND TAP SOME GULF MOISTURE BY
LATE IN THE WEEKEND AS THE LOW LEVEL FLOW VEERS TO THE SOUTH. THE
RESULT WILL BE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...FAVORING THE MOUNTAINS
AND GENERALLY MOVING ENE. THE BEST SLUG OF MOISTURE LOOKS TO BE
SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT BEFORE SOME DRYING KICKS-IN EARLY NEXT
WEEK WITH THE RIDGE AXIS SHIFTING EAST OF OUR AREA. BOTH THE 00Z
GFS AND ECMWF SHOW A WEAK UPPER LOW OFFSHORE OF SOCAL BY THE
MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...GRADUALLY DRIFTING TOWARD NM BY LATE WEEK
WITH THE JET STREAM WELL NORTH OF THE STATE ACROSS THE NORTHERN
U.S. AND SOUTHERN CANADA.

.FIRE WEATHER...

...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS OVER MUCH OF NORTHERN AND
CENTRAL NEW MEXICO THROUGH FRIDAY...

DESPITE THE UPPER TROUGH SWINGING THROUGH COLORADO AND INTO NEW
MEXICO EARLY THIS MORNING...THE DRYLINE HAS MADE A FORCEFUL RETURN
INTO THE EASTERN PLAINS. THIS AT LEAST HAS HELPED BOOST RH
RECOVERIES ROUGHLY ALONG AND EAST OF THE PECOS VALLEY TO EXCELLENT.
HOWEVER...THE INCREASED LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WON/T BE AROUND LONG
ENOUGH TO DO MUCH...AS BY MIDDAY IT/S FORECAST TO BE MOSTLY EAST OF
NEW MEXICO AGAIN AS WESTERLY WINDS PICK UP. DESPITE THE SLIGHT
CHANCES FOR MAINLY SPRINKLES ALONG THE COLORADO BORDER...CRITICAL
CONDITIONS LOOK TO BE WIDESPREAD THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS
EVENING. LATE AFTERNOON WINDS MAY STRENGTHEN OVER THE NORTHWEST/WEST
CENTRAL AS SOME 50-60KT H5 WINDS START TO WORK OVER THE REGION PER
THE GFS...ALTHOUGH MET/MAV/ECS GUIDANCE DOESN/T SEEM TO REFLECT THIS.
WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE GUSTY WLY WINDS PERSISTING INTO THE
LATE EVENING ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN AS THE FORECAST H5 MAX SPEEDS
TRACK PARTLY ALONG THE I-40 CORRIDOR.

THE DRYLINE IS NOT EXPECTED TO RETURN TONIGHT ALTHOUGH DEWPOINTS
INCREASE SOMEWHAT IN THE NORTHEAST AS THE SURFACE LOW SHIFTS INTO
THE OK/TX PANHANDLES. RH RECOVERIES TONIGHT WILL BE POOR THROUGH THE
RGV AND OVER MUCH OF THE PLAINS.

CRITICAL CONDITIONS TO REDEVELOP THURSDAY...AND LITTLE CHANGE NOTED
WITH THE ONGOING FIRE WEATHER WATCH AREA APPEARING REPRESENTATIVE OF
LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE AS WINDS BECOME A LITTLE MORE
NORTHWESTERLY...HIGHS REMAIN ABOVE AVERAGE AND HAINES OF 5-6
FORECAST IN THE NORTHEAST/EAST CENTRAL. MIN RH VALUES WILL CRATER TO
LESS THAN 10 PERCENT FOR THE MAJORITY OF LOWER ELEVATION
SITES...WITH 10 TO 15 PERCENT AT BEST FOR EXPOSED MOUNTAIN LOCALES.
THURSDAY NIGHT RH RECOVERIES WILL BE POOR FOR MUCH OF THE CENTRAL
AND EAST...LEADING INTO FRIDAY...WHICH WILL SEE WIDESPREAD SINGLE
DIGIT MIN RH VALUES. CRITICAL CONDITIONS APPEAR TO SET UP FRIDAY
AFTERNOON FROM THE NORTHWEST PLATEAU TO THE EAST CENTRAL PLAINS AS A
DISTURBANCE PASSES THROUGH COLORADO AND A SURFACE FRONT BEGINS TO
PUSH INTO THE STATE FROM THE NORTH.

THEREAFTER...THE POTENTIAL FOR CRITICAL CONDITIONS WANES AT LEAST
FOR A FEW DAYS. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL START TO INVADE THE STATE
FROM THE SOUTHEAST AND EAST. FORECAST MODELS AGREE THAT THERE WILL
BE AN UPTICK IN LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AS FAR WEST AS THE RGV BUT NOT
UNTIL SUNDAY. WITH THE INCREASED MOISTURE THE CHANCES FOR SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS INCREASE...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE CENTRAL MT CHAIN.
A WEAK RIDGE PERSISTING INTO MONDAY OF NEXT WEEK WILL HELP KEEP DRY
WESTERLIES TO A MINIMUM.

&&

.AVIATION...
06Z TAF CYCLE
TROUGH ALOFT EXTENDING FROM WESTERN WYOMING SOUTHWARD TO THE NEW
MEXICO BOOT HEEL WILL MOVE EASTWARD ACROSS NM OVER THE NEXT 24
HOURS...AS PERSISTENT SURFACE LOW REMAINS OVER THE NORTHEAST
BORDER OF THE STATE. PATTERN WILL SUPPORT REDEVELOPMENT OF GUSTY
WEST WINDS OVER MUCH OF THE STATE FROM 18Z ONWARD WED...WITH WINDS
PEAKING FROM 21Z TO 00Z WEDNESDAY EVENING. SPEEDS CALMING DOWN
AFTER SUNSET AROUND 02Z. BLOWING DUST DURING PEAK WINDS WILL DROP
VIZ TO MVFR AT TIMES WED AFTERNOON.
