AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
301 AM MDT FRI SEP 27 2013

.DISCUSSION...
COMPLICATED WEATHER SCENARIO FOR THE NEXT 24-30 HOURS OR SO. STRONG
WINDS AND POTENTIALLY STRONG THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE EAST THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING WILL BE FOLLOWED BY MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES
TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTH AND WEST. WIDESPREAD FREEZING
TEMPERATURES ARE LOOKING LIKELY.

BUT FIRST...SHOWERS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE EASTERN
PLAINS WHERE SOME SUB-TROPICAL MOISTURE HAS ADVECTED NORTHWARD OVER
THE LAST 18 HOURS. SHOWERS HAVE ALSO BEEN NOTED ACROSS MUCH OF
ARIZONA AHEAD OF THE UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM...AND THIS QPF WAS NOT
HANDLED WELL BY MODELS AT ALL.  THEREFORE...CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH
ON WHERE PRECIPITATION WILL TRANSPIRE TODAY ACROSS NM.  SEEMS LIKE
THE GFS AND THE HRRR HAVE PICKED UP ON THE LINE OF SHOWERS ACROSS
THE EAST...SO HAVE LARGELY GONE WITH A BLEND OF THOSE TWO MODELS FOR
THE REST OF THE DAY. STILL EXPECT SHOWERS TO EXPAND ACROSS THE N/NW.
COULD BE SOME LIGHT SNOW ACROSS THE HIGH PEAKS OF THE NORTHERN
MOUNTAINS THIS MORNING AS WELL. OTHERWISE... MAIN CONCERN WITH
PRECIP FOR TODAY IS THIS AFTERNOON WHEN THE ATMOSPHERE DESTABILIZES
ACROSS THE PLAINS AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT/DRYLINE. COULD SEE SOME
STRONG STORMS WITH HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS NEAR THE TEXAS BORDER.

ADDITIONALLY...MIXING HEIGHTS ARE NOT TERRIBLY HIGH...BUT A 999MB
SFC LOW ACROSS SE CO WILL RESULT IN A STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT
ACROSS NE NM. HAVE OPTED TO GO WITH A LOW END WIND ADVISORY FOR
AREAS AROUND THE I-25 CORRIDOR.  CONSIDERED ADDING UNION COUNTY AS
WELL...BUT WILL LET DAY SHIFT MONITOR TRENDS.

AS THE PACIFIC COLD FRONT SWEEPS FROM WEST TO EAST...MUCH COOLER
AND DRIER AIR WILL FILTER INTO THE STATE...ALLOWING TEMPERATURES
TO PLUMMET TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTH AND WEST.
WIDESPREAD FREEZING TEMPERATURES APPEAR LIKELY. HARD FREEZES ARE
POSSIBLE FOR MANY NORTHERN AND WESTERN MOUNTAIN LOCALES...AS WELL
AS THE UPPER RIO GRANDE VALLEY AND NEAR GALLUP AND GRANTS. HAVE
OPTED TO GO WITH A FREEZE WATCH FOR THE NORTHWEST PLATEAU AND
LOWER CHAMA RIVER VALLEY...ZONES 501 AND 517...WHERE LOW TEMPS BTW
29 AND 33 APPEAR LIKELY. OTHER AREAS WILL BE TEETERING CLOSE TO
THE FREEZING MARK AS WELL. HAVE OPTED TO GO JUST ABOVE FREEZING
FOR SANTA FE...DUE TO A DECENT DRAINAGE WIND MUCH OF THE
NIGHT....AS WELL AS RATON AND LAS VEGAS...WHERE NW WINDS MAY HELP
KEEP TEMPS UP A BIT OVERNIGHT. MORIARTY WILL ALSO BE CLOSE.

BACK DOOR COLD FRONT WILL CLEAR THE EASTERN PLAINS BY SATURDAY
MORNING. WILL SEE SOME RETURN FLOW ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST...BUT NOT
EXPECTING ADDITIONAL PRECIP.  OTHERWISE ZONAL FLOW WITH TEMPERATURES
5 TO 10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. QUIET CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH
MUCH OF THE WEEK WITH TEMPERATURES WARMING BACK TO NEAR NORMAL. THE
NEXT STORM SYSTEM MAY BEGIN IMPACTING THE STATE AS EARLY AS THURSDAY
WITH WINDS INCREASING ONCE AGAIN. GFS REMAINS MUCH FASTER WITH THE
SYSTEM PASSAGE...AS THE ECMWF CLOSES OFF THE SYSTEM OVER NORTHERN
ARIZONA AND KEEPS IT THERE THROUGH MUCH OF SATURDAY. THUS...MUCH
UNCERTAINTY IN THE EXTENDED...BUT INCREASING WINDS WITH A CHANCE FOR
PRECIP ACROSS THE NORTH AND PERHAPS EAST APPEAR POSSIBLE.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
A POTENT COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP ACROSS NEW MEXICO TODAY USHERING IN
MUCH COOLER AIR...ESPECIALLY IN THE WEST. MOISTURE ALONG AND AHEAD
OF THE FRONT WILL COMBINE TO PRODUCE A ROUND OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TODAY. SPOTTY WETTING RAINS WILL BE NOTED OVER THE
NORTHWEST THIS MORNING...WITH MORE WIDESPREAD WETTING RAINS OVER
THE FAR EASTERN PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING. WINDY
CONDITIONS WILL BE PRESENT OVER THE NORTHEAST WITH A WIND ADVISORY
FOR THE NORTHEAST HIGHLANDS LATE THIS MORNING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.
THE MOISTURE AND COLD FRONT WILL CREATE LOWER TEMPERATURES AND
HIGHER RH VALUES TODAY...WHILE VENTILATION WILL BE MOSTLY
EXCELLENT...ALTHOUGH LOWERING IN THE WEST DURING THE DAY.

A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL CROSS THE STATE TONIGHT WITH THE
CHILLIEST TEMPERATURES OF THE SEASON SO FAR FOR EARLY SATURDAY
MORNING. SOME LOWLAND LOCATIONS MAY SEE THEIR FIRST FREEZE...SUCH AS
FARMINGTON AND ESPANOLA. A FREEZE WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THESE
LOCATIONS. SHOWERS WILL LINGER OVER THE SOUTHEAST AREA WELL INTO THE
NIGHT. A FEW SNOW SHOWERS MAY BE FOUND OVER THE HIGH PEAKS OF THE
NORTHERN MOUNTAINS THIS EVENING.

MUCH COOLER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES PROJECTED FOR SATURDAY AS THE
MID LEVEL DRY SLOT STAYS OVER PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. THE
VENTILATION WILL TAKE QUITE A HIT SATURDAY DUE TO POST COLD FRONTAL
INVERSION EFFECTS. LOTS OF POOR RATINGS ARE CURRENTLY SHOWING UP ON
SATURDAY FOR THE WEST. ANOTHER CHILLY NIGHT IS EXPECTED SATURDAY
NIGHT. WINDS WILL DIE DOWN AND ALLOW FOR EFFICIENT RADIATIONAL
COOLING. THE LOW LEVEL INVERSION WILL FORM QUITE NICELY ALONG THE
MIDSLOPES.

WEATHER MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW A DRY ZONAL FLOW OVER THE FORECAST
AREA SUNDAY INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. VENTILATION WILL GRADUALLY
IMPROVE AS MIXING HEIGHTS AND SURFACE TEMPERATURES SLOWLY INCREASE.
ONE EXCEPTION MAY BE THE NORTHEAST ON TUESDAY AS A WEAK TROUGH ALOFT
AND SURFACE COLD FRONT BRUSH THIS AREA.

MODELS DIVERGE GREATLY IN THE EXTENDED FORECAST. THE GFS BRINGS A
PROGRESSIVE TROUGH ACROSS NEW MEXICO FRIDAY...WHILE THE EUROPEAN HAS
A CLOSED LOW OVER THE FOUR CORNERS AREA SATURDAY...FINALLY LIFTING
THE TROUGH AWAY FROM NEW MEXICO SUNDAY. WHAT WE ARE MOST CONFIDENT
ON IS THURSDAY WILL BRING INCREASING WINDS AND FRIDAY WILL BE
COOLER. DURING THIS TIME THERE MAY BE SHOWER ACTIVITY OVER THE
NORTHERN MOUNTAINS AND NORTHEAST.

VALLEY AND CENTRAL MT CHAIN THRU 15Z. CIGS LIFTING GRADUALLY FROM
