.AVIATION...
18Z TAF CYCLE

AVIATION HAZARDS WILL PRIMARILY BE FOCUSED ON WINDS AND MOUNTAIN
WAVE ACTIVITY OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS ALOFT
WILL CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS AS AN UPPER
LEVEL LOW APPROACHES. GUSTS NEAR THE SURFACE OF 35 TO 40 KT WILL
BE COMMON TODAY WITH STRONGEST GUSTS EXPECTED IN THE FAR WESTERN
PARTS OF NEW MEXICO. HIGH TERRAIN AREAS WILL REMAIN GUSTY THROUGH
THE OVERNIGHT...ESPECIALLY IN THE WESTERN AND SOUTHWESTERN
MOUNTAINS. AREAS TO THE NORTHEAST OF PEAKS AND RIDGE TOPS WILL
LIKELY EXPERIENCE MOUNTAIN WAVE ACTIVITY TUESDAY. STRONGER WINDS
ALOFT WILL MIX TO THE SURFACE THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON WITH GUSTS
OF 40 TO 45 KT BEING MORE COMMON. ANY PRECIPITATION WILL BE
CONCENTRATED IN THE NORTH CENTRAL TO NORTHWESTERN PARTS OF THE
STATE...BUT WILL STILL BE FAIRLY MEAGER AND SPOTTY. SOME ISOLATED
MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE SAN
JUAN/TUSAS...CHUSKA...AND SANGRE DE CRISTO RANGES.

.PREV DISCUSSION...337 AM MDT MON OCT 28 2013...
THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY REGARDING HOW THE UNSEASONABLY DEEP
UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM DEEPENING ALONG THE WEST COAST WILL EVOLVE
OVER THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES THRU THIS WEEK. THE LATEST WATER VAPOR LOOP
SHOWS THE UPPER LOW STILL DIVING SOUTH WITH AMDARS UPPER WINDS SHOWING
A 140KT JET ON THE BACK SIDE NEAR SAN FRANCISCO. MEANWHILE SUBTROPICAL
MOISTURE IS STREAMING NE OUT OF THE CENTRAL PACIFIC OVER THE SW CONUS
ON 100-120KT UPPER WINDS. THE WELL DEFINED UPPER OUTFLOW OF HURRICANE
RAYMOND IS ALSO STREAMING NE ACROSS THE BAJA. AT THE SURFACE RETURN
FLOW IS STRENGTHENING ACROSS TEXAS WITH MOISTURE ADVECTION SURGING
NW TOWARD WEST TX AND SE NM. ALL OF THESE FEATURES RAISE THE FORECAST
CHALLENGE OF WHERE THEY WILL ALL COME TOGETHER.

BASED ON AN ENSEMBLE APPROACH AND COORDINATION WITH WPC PROBABILISTIC
QPF/SNOW AND SURROUNDING OFFICES WE CAN EXPECT A RATHER DYNAMIC WEEK
OF WEATHER FOR NM. AS THE UPPER LOW BEGINS TO APPROACH FROM THE
WEST...SURFACE LEE TROUGHING WILL STRENGTHEN OVER SE COLORADO AND
ALLOW FOR WIDESPREAD BREEZY CONDITIONS TODAY. WINDY CONDITIONS WILL
IMPACT AREAS ALONG AND WEST OF THE CONT DVD. THE FAR SE COUNTIES
WILL BE CLOSEST TO MOIST INSTABILITY AND THE POTENTIAL IS THERE FOR
SOME AFTERNOON STORMS. THE SPC SLIGHT RISK AREA FOR SEVERE STORMS
IS JUST TO THE EAST OF THE AREA. MEANWHILE...INCREASINGLY MOIST SW
FLOW WILL FOCUS SLOWLY DEVELOPING CLOUDS AND EVENTUALLY SHOWERS
FOR THE FAR NW HIGH TERRAIN. THIS OVERALL PATTERN IS EXPECTED TO
REMAIN RELATIVELY STEADY STATE INTO TUESDAY. WINDS WILL BE A
LITTLE STRONGER AND ADVISORY CONDITIONS POSSIBLE...BUT LIMITED TO
THE HIGH PLAINS AND CENTRAL MT CHAIN. TEMPS WILL TREND DOWN A FEW
DEGREES FOR THE NW CORNER AS WEAK COLD ADVECTION SLIDES EAST.

BY WEDNESDAY THE STRONGEST SURFACE WINDS WILL EJECT EAST INTO TEXAS
WITH ANY SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE TAP AS WELL. MOIST SOUTHWEST FLOW AND
COLD ADVECTION WILL RAMP UP FOR THE NW CORNER TUESDAY NIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY. THE ECMWF SOLUTION IS THE MOST BULLISH WITH QPF AND
BASED ON FORECAST COORDINATION AND MODEL CONSISTENCY SHOULD BE THE
BEST CHOICE. SNOW LEVELS WILL FALL TUESDAY NIGHT TO ALL AREAS BY
WEDNESDAY MORNING WITH SEVERAL INCHES POSSIBLE IN THE NW MTS ABOVE
ABOUT 7500 FT. MOIST SW TO WESTERLY FLOW FOR THE SANGRES SHOULD
ALSO SQUEEZE OUT A COUPLE INCHES. WILL ADD HEIGHTENED WORDING TO
THE HWO BUT PASS ON SPS FOR NOW.

COLDER TEMPS WITH MODERATE NW FLOW WILL CONTINUE OVER THE REGION
THRU THURSDAY AND FRIDAY LEADING TO BELOW NORMAL TEMPS AND CHILLY
WINDS. A RIDGE IS ANTICIPATED FOR THE WEEKEND WITH WARMING TEMPS
AND CLEAR SKIES.

GUYER

.FIRE WEATHER...
A BREEZY TO WINDY PERIOD AT LEAST THE NEXT 3 DAYS ACROSS THE FCST
AREA AS STRONG MID AND UPPER TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED PACIFIC COLD
FRONT APPROACHING TODAY AND TONIGHT THEN MOVING ACROSS TUE INTO WED.
STRONGEST NEAR SFC WINDS LOOK TO BE ON TUE AFTN...ESPECIALLY ACROSS
AND A LITTLE WAYS TO EAST OF CENTRAL MTN CHAIN AND...TO A BIT LESSER
DEGREE...W CENTRAL NM.

SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL BE QUITE STRONG THROUGH TUE. ON
MONDAY THE WIND SPEEDS AT 10KFT WILL INCREASE TO 25 TO NEARLY 40KT
IN THE SOUTHWEST HALF OF THE FCST AREA. HIGH CLOUD COVER COULD
INHIBIT MIXING TO A LIGHT TO MODERATE DEGREE HOWEVER. WHILE BREEZY
TO WINDY CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP AREA WIDE WITH CRITICAL SPEEDS
BEING MET IN MANY OF THE HIGHER TERRAIN ZONES...PRIMARILY IN THE FAR
WEST. FORTUNATELY MINIMUM RH IS NOT EXPECTED TO DROP TO CRITICAL
THRESHOLDS TODAY. AFTN TEMPS WILL BE NEAR AVERAGE IN THE WEST
AND SEVERAL DEGREES ABOVE IN THE EAST. VENTILATION WILL BE EXCELLENT
THIS AFTN NEARLY ENTIRE AREA.

RIDGE TOP WINDS WILL STAY STRONG THROUGH TUE AND PERHAPS TUE NIGHT.
STRONGEST SPEEDS ALOFT WILL SHIFT FARTHER SOUTH AND EAST DURING THE
DAY TUE...BUT SOME COOLING AT THE SFC AND THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
ORIENTATION NOT BEING TERRIBLY COMPLIMENTARY IN SUPPORT OF STRONG
SURFACE GRADIENT. STILL LOOKING THOUGH AT JUST MARGINAL FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS FOR RELATIVELY SMALL AREAS OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN NM ON
TUE. DURATION APPEARS TO BE IN THE 2 TO 4 HOUR RANGE. BUT FOR NOW
WILL HOLD OFF ON ANY FIRE WEATHER HIGHLIGHTS. PRECIPITATION STILL
LOOKS TO BE OF LESS IMPACT THAN THE WINDS AND COOLER TEMPERATURES.
PRECIPITATION WILL REMAIN FAIRLY MINIMAL...AGAIN IN THE NORTH
CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AND PARTS OF THE NORTHWEST PLATEAU...AS WELL AS A
SLIVER OF STRAY STORM POTENTIAL IN THE EAST CENTRAL PLAINS.

WED DAYTIME HIGHS LOWER TO NEAR AVERAGE IN THE EASTERN PLAINS...AND
10 TO 15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL IN THE WEST. BREEZY TO WINDY
CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST ON WEDNESDAY AMIDST COLD AIR ADVECTION WITH
WINDS VEERING MORE WESTERLY AND GOOD VENT RATES PERSISTING. A BRISK
NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL PREVAIL INTO THU...KEEPING BREEZY AND NEAR
