MODELS...IN REASONABLE AGREEMENT THROUGH NEXT SATURDAY...WITH SOME
DIFFERENCES EMERGING ON PATTERN EVOLUTION FROM LATE NEXT WEEKEND
ONWARD. WEAK RIDGE COLLAPSING ACROSS THE STATE THROUGH THIS
EVENING WILL BACK WINDS ALOFT TO SOUTHWEST ON SUNDAY AS PACIFIC
NORTHWEST WEATHER SYSTEM ZIPS SOUTHWARD TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
THROUGH TUESDAY. SOLUTIONS ALL EXPAND THE ASSOCIATED CLOSED LOW
OVER THE GREAT BASIN AND ELONGATE THE TROUGH FROM THE BITTEROOT
RANGE OF WESTERN MONTANA ACROSS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TO THE PACIFIC
COASTAL WATERS OF BAJA CALIFORNIA BY MIDWEEK. CLOSED LOW WILL
SHIFT SOUTHWARD TO PUERTO PENASCO AT THE BIGHT OF THE GULF OF
CALIFORNIA THURSDAY NIGHT WITH FIRST HINTS OF AN EXCRUCIATINGLY
SLOW TREK ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO APPEARING ACROSS THE WEEKEND.
ECMWF RUNNING FASTER THAN GFS SOLUTION...WITH CLOSED LOW SHOWING
UP OVER THE X IN TEXAS LATE SUNDAY. SLOWER GFS KEEPS CLOSED LOW
LOCKED UP OVER NORTHERN SONORA AND SOUTHERN ARIZONA THROUGH THE
WEEKEND AND INTO THE FIRST OF THE FOLLOWING WORK WEEK. WITH THE
LOCATIONAL SPREAD POORLY DEFINED...BUT THE BROAD TROUGH SIGNAL IN
COMMON...WILL FOLLOW SUIT WITH WPC COLLEAGUES AND RUN WITH A
DIFFERENCE SPLIT IN OUTER PERIOD FORECAST THINKING FOR NOW PENDING
A MORE COHERENT STORY IN FUTURE RUNS.

OVERNIGHT...CONVECTION POTENTIAL CONTINUING OVER THE NORTHEAST
QUADRANT OF THE STATE...WITH ISOLATED COVERAGE AND MODEST
RAINFALLS FOR ANY STORMS DEVELOPING THROUGH THE EVENING. ANY
THUNDER ENDING THIS EVENING WILL LEAVE SOME LINGERING COVERAGE OF
ISOLATED SHOWERS AFTER MIDNIGHT OVER THE EXTREME NORTHEAST CORNER
OF THE STATE. EASTERN WINDS WILL BACK SOUTHEAST...WITH WINDS
ELSEWHERE RUNNING WEST TO SOUTHWEST AS STALLED COLD FRONT IS
SHOVED BACK TO THE EAST.

FOR SUNDAY...FLOW ALOFT BACKING SOUTHWEST AND PICKING UP SPEED
AHEAD OF WEST COAST SYSTEM DIGGING OUT OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
SOUTHWARD INTO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. SURFACE TROUGH WILL DEEPEN
RAPIDLY IN RESPONSE FROM EASTERN WYOMING SOUTH ACROSS EASTERN NEW
MEXICO INTO THE TEXAS BIG BEND COUNTRY. CONTINUED WARMING WILL
PUSH SUNDAY AFTERNOON MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES 6 TO 12 DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL OVER THE EAST...AND 3 TO 8 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL OVER THE
COOLER WEST FOR AN OTHERWISE DRY AND SUNNY DAY. SOUTHWEST WINDS
WILL PUSH THROUGH BREEZY INTO THE WINDY CATEGORY SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
ROCK BOTTOM HUMIDITIES WILL SET UP A DAY OF FIRE WEATHER CONCERN
THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON...AND KICKING OFF A MULTI DAY ROUND OF
FIRE WEATHER ISSUES.

FOR MONDAY...STRENGTHENING SOUTHWEST FLOW OVERHEAD AS SURFACE
TROUGH DEEPENS FORM WESTERN KANSAS TO WEST TEXAS. BLUSTERY
SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL DO IT AGAIN WITH ROCK BOTTOM HUMIDITIES FOR
ANOTHER DAY OF WIDESPREAD FIRE WEATHER FOCUS. SOME COOLER AIR
FILTERING INTO WESTERN NEW MEXICO WILL TAKE THE EDGE OFF MONDAY
AFTERNOON HIGH TEMPERATURES OVER THE WEST...BUT LEAVE THE EAST
WITH 8 TO 15 DEGREE WARM DEPARTURES THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.

FOR TUESDAY...WEST COAST SYSTEM FINALLY ARRIVING OVER THE LOWER
SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY IN CENTRAL CALIFORNIA...WITH SOUTHWEST FLOW
OVER NEW MEXICO INCREASING THE SPEED ANOTHER NOTCH. SURFACE LOW
OVER WESTERN KANSAS BEGINS TO SPRAWL OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS TO
LOOSEN UP THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT...AND USUAL BLASTS OF
AFTERNOON SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL COME DOWN A FEW KNOTS THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON. SPEEDS...AND CONTINUING SINGLE DIGIT HUMIDITIES WILL
KEEP FIRE WEATHER WOE UPPERMOST FOR THE DAY.

OUTLOOK...WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...CLOSED LOW OVER THE GREAT
BASIN WEDNESDAY WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTHERN GULF OF CALIFORNIA BY
FRIDAY...SETTING UP A NORTHBOUND MOISTURE PUSH INTO EASTERN NEW
MEXICO THROUGH THE LAST HALF OF THE WORK WEEK. STATE LINE THUNDER
WEDNESDAY OVER THE EASTERN PLAINS WILL EXPAND COVERAGE WESTWARD
EACH AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY. GFS SHOWING EASTERN PLAINS LIFTED
INDICES PLUNGING TO 5 C TO 7 C BELOW WITH MUCAPE TOPPING 1500 J
PER KG. DEPRESSED LIFTED INDICES OVERSPREADING THE ENTIRE EASTERN
PLAINS FRIDAY...BUT GFS SHOWING A MUCAPE DROP OF ABOUT 500 J PER
KG...CLOSER TO 1000...FOR FRIDAY.

.FIRE WEATHER...
WARM TO HOT...VERY DRY...AND UNSTABLE CONDITIONS STILL TO DOMINATE
THE WEATHER PATTERN SUN THROUGH TUE. WIND SPEEDS WILL PICK UP
CONSIDERABLY ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA AND TRIGGER CRITICAL FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS. WENT AHEAD AND UPGRADED PREVIOUS FIRE WEATHER
WATCH ZONES TO RED FLAG WARNING...EXCEPT ZONE 106...MIDDLE RIO
GRANDE VALLEY. THIS DESPITE THE FACT THAT THERE WILL BE AT LEAST
FAIR TO GOOD RH RECOVERIES ACROSS THE FAR EASTERN COUNTIES OF THE
STATE TONIGHT. THAT MOISTURE THOUGH WILL ERODE OUT QUICKLY AND
THOROUGHLY ENOUGH SUN TO ALLOW FOR MORE THAN 3 HOURS OF CRITICAL
CONDITIONS. AS FOR MON...WILL CONTINUE THE FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR
ALL AREAS EXCEPT ZONE 102.

EVEN DRIER AIR WILL BEGIN TO MOVE IN SUN AS A MORE BRISK WESTERLY
FLOW DEVELOPS. TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE EAST WILL REBOUND QUICKLY
THANKS TO A DOWN SLOPE COMPONENT TO THE WINDS. AFTN TEMPS
SIGNIFICANTLY ABOVE NORMAL...MANY HOURS OF SINGLE DIGIT
HUMIDITIES...WIDESPREAD 6 HAINES AND A HEALTHY DOSE OF SUPER HAINES
CONDITIONS CENTRAL AND WESTERN AREAS MAKE CRITICAL FIRE CONDITIONS
QUITE LIKELY SUNDAY...HENCE THE UPGRADE TO WARNING OF THE PREVIOUSLY
WATCH ZONES. POOR HUMIDITY RECOVERIES STILL LOOK PRETTY LIKELY
AREA WIDE SUN NIGHT..THOUGH LOW LVL MOISTURE WILL BE LURKING NEAR TO
JUST EAST OF OUR BORDER WITH TX.

W TO SW FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE MON AND BECOME MORE SW TUE AS
THE NEXT UPPER LOW DIGS SOMEWHAT INTO CENTRAL OR PERHAPS EVEN S CA.
CONCURRENTLY VERY DRY AIR WILL REMAIN IN PLACE WITH SEVERAL HOURS OF
SINGLE DIGIT HUMIDITIES AND WIDESPREAD 5 TO MOSTLY 6 HAINES...THUS
THE REASON TO CONTINUE FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR MON FOR ALL AREAS
EXCEPT THE NORTH CENTRAL MOUNTAINS. SIMILAR AREA PROBABLY TO BE
IMPACTED TUE AS WELL...BUT WILL HOLD OFF ON WATCH ISSUANCE FOR THAT
DAY DUE TO HOW FAR OUT THAT STILL IS WHICH INCREASES UNCERTAINTY
ENOUGH TO PRECLUDE IT...AT LEAST FOR THIS FORECASTER. MONDAY AND
TUESDAY STILL APPEAR TO BE THE MOST CRITICAL DAYS OF THE WEEK.

BY WED...THE STORM SYSTEM LOOKS TO BE CENTERED OVER UT. TEMPS TO
START TO COOL...ESPEC OVER WESTERN NM...WHERE SOME SLIGHTLY BELOW
NORMAL AFTN TEMPS ARE POSS. BREEZY...DRY AND UNSTABLE CONDITIONS
WILL PERSIST ACROSS MUCH OF CENTRAL AND WESTERN NM. CRITICAL
CONDITIONS LOOK TO BE MARGINAL ATTM...BUT WIND SPEEDS COULD EASE
UPWARD OVER THE NEXT DAY OR TWO.

THE LONGER TERM FCST MODELS ARE STILL PRETTY MUCH STILL GOING FOR
EITHER A DEEP AMPLITUDE TROUGH TO THE WEST OF THE STATE OR A CLOSED
LOW. LATEST GFS AND CANADIAN MODELS AGREE PRETTY WELL THAT CLOSED
LOW WILL BE MAINTAINED AND STALL TEMPORARILY ACROSS OR NEAR THE N
END OF THE GULF OF CA SUCH THAT...WITH THE SIZE OF THE CIRCULATION
AROUND IT...NM MAY WELL BE IN THE SWEET SPOT FOR MOISTURE RETURN AND
DYNAMIC FORCING AND THUS POTENTIALLY WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND STORMS.
ECMWF NOT AS OPTIMISTIC AND IS MUCH WEAKER WITH THE SYSTEM AND MAKES
IT A LITTLE MORE PROGRESSIVE...BUT WITH MUCH LESS PRECIP POTENTIAL
FOR THE STATE. EITHER WAY THERE IS STILL CONCERN THAT IN THE EARLY
STAGES OF MOISTURE RETURN AND CONVECTION...MAINLY FRIDAY AND PERHAPS
EAST ON THU...A SIGNIFICANT AMT OF DRY LIGHTNING MAY DEVELOP.

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF CYCLE
VFR CONDITIONS WILL OCCUR AT ALL TAF SITES THROUGH THE NEXT 24
HOURS. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE WEST TO SOUTHWEST THIS AFTERNOON

FOR SOME AREAS IN NORTHERN NEW MEXICO. SOME CONVECTIVE BUILD UPS
OF CLOUDS OVER MOUNTAINS NORTH OF KABQ THIS AFTERNOON.
