What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this flash flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Albuquerque, NM wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at Sep 11, 3:38 PM MDT, 1 hour 48 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Sep 11, 3:38 PM MDT, 1 hour 48 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM 338 PM MDT THU SEP 11 2014 .SYNOPSIS... ABUNDANT ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE IN PLACE ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL AND EASTERN NEW MEXICO CURRENTLY FUELING A ROUND SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THAT WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. A STRONG BACKDOOR COLD FRONT WILL PUSH DOWN THE EASTERN PLAINS OVERNIGHT INTO FRIDAY AND INTERACT WITH THIS MOISTURE TO PRODUCE A SOAKING RAIN ACROSS MUCH OF EASTERN NEW MEXICO...ESPECIALLY THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS...WITH RAIN LINGERING INTO EARLY SATURDAY. THE FRONT WILL PUSH WEST THROUGH THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN FRIDAY... CREATING STRONG EAST CANYON WINDS IN THE RIO GRANDE AND UPPER TULAROSA VALLEYS. WELL BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES WILL MOVE IN BEHIND THE FRONT AND GIVE MUCH OF THE AREA A FIRST TASTE OF FALL- LIKE WEATHER. TEMPERATURES WILL WARM BACK UP FROM SUNDAY THROUGH MIDWEEK WITH AN INCREASE IN THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY AS A MORE MONSOON-LIKE WEATHER PATTERN RETURNS. && .DISCUSSION... LATEST WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A MONSOONAL MOISTURE PLUME MAKING NORTHWARD PROGRESS FROM NORTHERN MEXICO ACROSS FAR WEST TEXAS AND INTO MUCH OF SOUTHERN AND EASTERN NEW MEXICO. MOISTURE ADVECTION... COMBINED WITH UPSLOPE FLOW...SURFACE DEWPOINT TEMPERATURES IN THE 50S TO LOW 60S AND ADEQUATE SURFACE HEATING RESULTING IN A ROBUST CROP OF THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON SOUTH OF I-40 ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL HIGHLANDS. THE 20Z LAPS ANALYSIS SHOWS SBCAPE VALUES FROM 1500-2000 J/KG AND LIFTED INDICES -3 TO -4C FROM THE NORTHEAST HIGHLANDS SOUTH TO THE SOUTH CENTRAL HIGHLANDS AND EAST ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS...SO PLENTY OF INSTABILITY TO WORK WITH HEADING INTO THE EVENING HOURS. A STRONG BACKDOOR COLD FRONT...CURRENTLY STATIONARY ACROSS SE COLORADO...WILL PUSH SOUTH OVERNIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING ALTHOUGH THE NAM12 IS TRENDING SLOWER WITH THE FROPA OVER THE PAST COUPLE RUNS. THE 18Z NAM SHOWS THE FRONT PUSHING INTO THE NE PLAINS BETWEEN 03-06Z...THEN SOUTH TO NEAR I-25 AROUND 12Z. A MOISTURE RICH ATMOSPHERE PRECEDES THE FRONT WITH LOWER BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW BECOMING MORE SOUTHERLY...WHICH WILL INCREASE CONVERGENCE/LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. AM ANTICIPATING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO BREAK-OUT ALONG/BEHIND THE FRONT OVERNIGHT AND THROUGH FRIDAY AS THE BOUNDARY MOVES SOUTH ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS. THE AIRMASS BEHIND THE FRONT WILL BE COLD AND EVENTUALLY THE FRONTAL LAYER DEPTH WILL BE SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH FOR CONVECTION TO TRANSITION TO MORE OF A STRATIFORM-TYPE RAIN. SOME PREFRONTAL FOG LIKELY TONIGHT ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS AND EAST SLOPES OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN AND ADJACENT HIGHLANDS. AT THIS TIME...THE FRONT IS FORECAST TO PUSH THROUGH KSAF AROUND 12Z THEN THROUGH KABQ AROUND 14Z. WINDY CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST IN THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY FRIDAY AND MAY HIT WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA FOR A FEW HOURS...ALTHOUGH LIKELY JUST BELOW CANYONS. HIGH TEMPERATURES A BIT TRICKY FRIDAY IN THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY WHERE COLD AIR ADVECTION...CLOUD COVER AND DOWNSLOPE FLOW ARE ALL FORECAST CONSIDERATIONS. WE HAVE 75 FORECAST FOR A HIGH HERE AT KABQ... WHICH IS 2 DEGREES BELOW THE LOWEST OF THE 12Z NAM AND GFS MOS... BUT TEMPS MAY BE SEVERAL DEGREES COLDER IF CLOUDS FILL-IN. THE FRONT WILL MAKE IT OUT TO THE SOUTHWEST MOUNTAINS FRIDAY AFTERNOON AROUND MAX HEATING. AT THE SAME TIME...STEERING FLOW IS 5KTS OR LESS...LEADING TO SOME CONCERN FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. THE NAM12 QPF FROM THE PAST SEVERAL MODEL CYCLES HAS BEEN SUPPORTIVE OF THIS IDEA...SO ADDED A MENTION OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL THERE. HIGHER POPS CONTINUE BETWEEN THE SOUTHWEST MOUNTAINS AND SOUTHEAST PLAINS FRIDAY NIGHT BEFORE TRENDING DOWN ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA. THE LOWER BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW GETS TURNED AROUND AND THE FRONTAL LAYER BECOMES MORE SHALLOW BY SATURDAY MORNING BRINGING UP CONCERNS FOR FOG DEVELOPMENT. SATURDAY NIGHT MAY END UP BEING THE MORE FOG-PRODUCTIVE NIGHT...BUT BOTH NIGHTS HAVE POTENTIAL. A WARMING TREND TO BEGIN OVER THE WEEKEND AND CONTINUE INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK AS THE UPPER HIGH MOVES BACK TO THE WEST AND PUMPS-UP OVER NEW MEXICO. PLENTY OF MOISTURE IN PLACE THOUGH...SO A RETURN TO A MORE MONSOON-LIKE PATTERN LOOKS INEVITABLE WITH DAILY ROUNDS OF THUNDERSTORMS ON THE UPTREND AS HIGH TEMPS GO BACK ABOVE NORMAL BY WEDNESDAY. 11 && .FIRE WEATHER... A RAPID RETURN SELY SURFACE FLOW HAS COMBINED WITH INCREASING MONSOON MOISTURE FROM THE SOUTH AND RESULTED IN SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS AND ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE FROM THE SOUTH-CENTRAL MOUNTAINS NORTH AND NW TO THE CENTRAL HIGHLANDS. THESE STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EWD OUT ONTO THE PLAINS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. STILL EXPECT THAT A FEW STORMS WILL FIRE OVER THE SW MOUNTAINS LATE THIS AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING. ALL EYES THEN TURN TO VIGOROUS BACKDOOR FRONT FOR LATE TONIGHT AND FRIDAY. LATEST MODEL RUNS HAVE SLOWED DOWN ON TIMING OF FRONT BY SEVERAL HOURS. OTHERWISE...THEY REMAIN ON TRACK WITH WIDESPREAD LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN ALONG AND NEAR THE FRONT FRIDAY MORNING OVER THE NE AND EAST-CENTRAL PLAINS AND THROUGH THE AFTERNOON FOR THE SOUTH-CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AND SE PLAINS. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL ALSO FIRE WEST OF THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY FRIDAY AFTERNOON AS THE MODERATE TO STRONG EAST AND SOUTHEAST SURFACE WINDS BEGIN TO ASCEND THE HIGHER TERRAIN TO THE WEST. LIGHT STEERING FLOW AND MORE ABUNDANT LOW AND MID-LEVEL MOISTURE OVER THE SW MOUNTAINS FRIDAY AFTERNOON WILL LIKELY RESULT IN SCATTERED SLOW MOVING CONVECTION OVER THIS REGION. MUCH COOLER CONDITIONS WILL RESULT OVER ALL BUT THE FAR WESTERN NM FRIDAY. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM 5 TO 10 DEGREES BELOW AVERAGE IN THE RGV TO AS MUCH AS 25-30F BELOW AVERAGE IN THE EASTERN PLAINS. TEMPERATURES AND VENTILATION RATES TO A CERTAIN EXTENT REBOUND RATHER RAPIDLY FOR THE WEEKEND. ISOLATED LATE DAY STORMS ARE MOST LIKELY OVER THE SW AND SOUTH-CENTRAL MOUNTAINS SATURDAY AFTERNOON. NAM AND GFS BOTH INDICATING THAT A FEW MORE STORMS WILL DEVELOP SUNDAY AFTERNOON OVER MOST MOUNTAIN RANGES. ANOTHER BACK DOOR FRONT DROPS INTO THE NE MONDAY EVENING FOR AN UPTICK IN STORMS THERE MONDAY EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY. MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT THE UPPER HIGH WILL TRY TO STRENGTHEN ONCE AGAIN AND BUILD NORTHWARD INTO SW NM TUESDAY NIGHT AND ESPECIALLY WEDNESDAY. GFS THEN TRIES TO TAKE SOME TROPICAL AND SUB-TROPICAL MOISTURE FROM TROPICAL STORM ODILE AND LIFT IT NWD INTO AZ WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THEN EASTWARD INTO NM ON THURSDAY. ECMWF IS QUITE DIFFERENT...HOWEVER...CENTERING THE UPPER HIGH FARTHER WEST OVER CENTRAL AZ...BRINGING IN MORE RELATIVELY WEAK BACKDOOR FRONTS INTO EASTERN NM AND THE RETURN SELY OR SLY LOW LEVEL WINDS BRING IN MOISTURE. TRENDED THE FORECAST SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE WITH BOTH SOLUTIONS RATHER VIABLE BASED ON THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERNS DURING THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS. 33 && .AVIATION... 18Z TAF CYCLE GREATEST COVERAGE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WILL BE ALONG A LINE/SWATH FROM THE SW MTNS NEWD TO THE SANDIA AND MANZANO MTNS. SCT STORMS ARE ALSO EXPECTED OVER THE EAST- CENTRAL AND SE PLAINS THROUGH AROUND SUNSET. VIGOROUS BACK DOOR COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO FAR NORTHEAST PLAINS AROUND MIDNIGHT...MAKING FAST PROGRESS SOUTH AND SOUTHWESTWARD LATE TONIGHT AND FRIDAY MORNING. MODERATE TO PERHAPS STRONG EAST CANYON WIND WILL MATERIALIZE AT KABQ BETWEEN 13-15Z FRIDAY. WIDESPREAD MVFR/IFR CIGS WILL DEVELOP EAST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN AFTER MIDNIGHT IN ELY UPSLOPE LOW LEVEL FLOW. VFR CONDITION WILL PREVAIL WESTERN HALF OF FORECAST AREA THROUGH FRIDAY FORENOON && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
