AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
255 AM MDT SUN JUN 1 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A BREEZY ENDING TO THE WEEKEND WILL LEAD INTO A WARM WORK
WEEK...AS TEMPERATURES APPROACH RECORDS FOR EARLY JUNE THROUGH
MIDWEEK IN CENTRAL NEW MEXICO. A SERIES OF WEATHER DISTURBANCES
WILL PASS NORTH OF NEW MEXICO BEFORE A SOMEWHAT STRONGER AND
SLOWER SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH THE STATE LATE IN THE WORK WEEK INTO
NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
CURRENTLY...TURBULENT SOUTHWEST FLOW GRADUALLY VEERING TO ZONAL
THROUGH THIS MORNING BETWEEN WEST COAST TROUGH SYSTEM AND SOLID
RIDGE CORE OVER NORTHERN MEXICO. A FEW QUICK BLIPS IN THE FLOW
SUFFICIENT TO KEEP SOME SPOTTY OVERNIGHT THUNDER GOING OVER THE
NORTHEAST. SURFACE CHARTS DEPICTING SOLID DOME OF HIGH PRESSURE
OVER COLORADO...WITH BRACKETING TROUGH EXTENDING FROM WESTERN
KANSAS SOUTHWARD INTO NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO...AND THIS PROVIDING
ADDITIONAL FOCUS FOR OVERNIGHT SHOWERS IN THE NORTHEAST.

MODELS...IN REASONABLE AGREEMENT ON THE NEW MEXICO PORTION OF THE
WEATHER STORY THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND AND INTO THE START OF THE WORK
WEEK. ACCEPTED CONSENSUS MAINTAINS RIDGE OVER NORTHERN
MEXICO...AND THIS WILL KEEP SHORTWAVES MOVING OFF THE WEST COAST
ACROSS THE GREAT BASIN NORTH OF NEW MEXICO FOR THE MEDIUM TERM.
SHORTWAVE OVER CENTRAL CALIFORNIA MONDAY WILL EJECT INTO THE NORTH
CENTRAL PLAINS STATES ON TUESDAY...AND STRENGTHEN SOUTHWEST TO
ZONAL FLOW ALOFT OVER NEW MEXICO AS IT WHIZZES OFF TO THE
NORTHEAST. NEXT INBOUND TROUGH WILL WORK OUT OF THE EAST PACIFIC
OVER MONTEREY BAY IN CALIFORNIA BY MIDWEEK...AND THIS FEATURE WILL
ROUND OFF AT THE BASE AND EXPAND OVER THE ENTIRE SOUTHWEST U.S. BY
FRIDAY MORNING...AS THE NORTHERN MEXICO RIDGE RETREATS SOUTHWARD TO
LIE FROM SOUTHERN BAJA CALIFORNIA COASTAL WATERS EASTWARD TO SOUTH
TEXAS. BROAD TROUGH PATTERN OVER NEW MEXICO WILL SHIFT EASTWARD
DURING THE WEEKEND...WITH NORTHWEST FLOW BECOMING ESTABLISHED BY
SUNDAY MORNING. NEXT WEAK TROUGH WILL START BUILDING ON THE WEST
COAST EARLY IN THE FOLLOWING WORK WEEK...AND DIG TO CENTRAL
CALIFORNIA BY TUESDAY MORNING LEAVING NEW MEXICO IN BASIC ZONAL
FLOW AS THE WORK WEEK GETS UNDERWAY.

FOR TODAY...MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES IN DOUBLE DIGITS ABOVE NORMAL FOR
THE FIRST OF JUNE...AND THE KICKOFF OF CLIMATOLOGICAL SUMMER...IN
THE EAST. 3 TO 8 DEGREE WARM EXCURSIONS WILL BE COMMON IN THE
WEST. TURBULENT ZONAL FLOW REMAINS IN PLAY OVERHEAD...WHILE
SURFACE TROUGH DEEPENS FROM WESTERN KANSAS SOUTHWARD ACROSS EASTERN
NEW MEXICO TO THE EL PASO AREA. SPOTTY THUNDERSTORMS WILL INITIATE
OVER THE SANGRE DE CRISTO RANGE AND OUT OVER JOHNSON MESA AND
RATON RIDGE THIS AFTERNOON...BUT WETTING RAINS WILL BE HIGHLY
LOCALIZED WITH THESE SHOWERS. A BREEZY DAY...AND LOW HUMIDITIES
AND GUSTS WILL BRING FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS TO THE EASTERN HALF OF
THE STATE...AND WILL ISSUE RED FLAGS FOR THE NORTHEAST HIGHLANDS
AND THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN WITH THE MORNING PACKAGE.

FOR MONDAY...RIDGE CORE BUILDING WITH AUTHORITY OVER WESTERN
CHIHUAHUA AND EASTERN SONORA...AS SOUTHWEST FLOW IN CIRCULATION
ABOUT ELONGATING WEST COAST TROUGH WORKS INTO THE WESTERN PORTIONS
OF NEW MEXICO. DOME OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER COLORADO AND NORTHERN
NEW MEXICO REMAINS THE BIG PLAYER MONDAY...AS THE SURFACE TROUGH
DISPLACES EAST AND SOUTH TO LIE FROM EASTERN KANSAS TO TO THE
TEXAS BIG BEND COUNTRY...CLEAR OF NEW MEXICO. CONTINUED WARMING
DURING A DRY AND SUNNY DAY...WITH DOUBLE DIGIT WARM EXCURSIONS
OVER EARLY JUNE NORMALS BECOMING COMMON CENTRAL AND EAST...WITH 5
TO 10 DEGREE WARM DEPARTURES IN THE WEST. WEAKER SURFACE PRESSURE
GRADIENT UNDER THE DOME OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL LIMIT AFTERNOON
WIND SPEEDS WITH LOCAL LATE AFTERNOON BREEZINESS SHOWING UP ON THE
ARIZONA LINE TO THE WEST...AND THE COLORADO LINE TO THE NORTH AND
NORTHEAST...LINING UP WITH AREAS OF STRONGER WINDS ALOFT.

FOR TUESDAY...ZONAL FLOW BACKING TO SOUTHWEST AND GAINING SPEED
OUT AHEAD OF DYNAMIC STRENGTH GAINS OF PERSISTENT WEST COAST
TROUGH. SURFACE LOW OVER SOUTHEAST COLORADO WILL POKE TROUGH SOUTH
AND WEST ACROSS EASTERN NEW MEXICO TO THE EL PASO AREA. WITH
SOUTHWEST BREEZINESS IN PLAY OVER THE EAST AND NORTHEAST AND DRY
CONDITIONS...FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS RETURN TO THE NORTHEAST AND
EAST CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE STATE UNDER A BROADLY DESTABILIZING
ATMOSPHERE. STABILITY RECEIVING LITTLE THERMODYNAMIC HELP...AS
CONTINUED WARMING WILL PUSH ALL BUT THE WEST 10 TO 20 DEGREES
ABOVE EARLY JUNE NORMALS...WITH 5 TO 10 DEGREE DEPARTURES ON TAP
FOR THE WEST. WITH TEMPERATURES OVER THE EAST PUSHING THE CENTURY
MARK...AND HEADING INTO THE MID 100S OVER CHAVES COUNTY...WILL
PLAN ON HAVING ERASER HANDY NEAR THE RECORD BOOKS FOR THE DAY.

FOR WEDNESDAY...ZONAL TO SOUTHWEST TURBULENCE AND GUSTS ALOFT
CONTINUE OVER NEW MEXICO...AS SURFACE LOW AND ASSOCIATED TROUGH
SHIFT TO WESTERN OKLAHOMA ACROSS THE TEXAS BIG BEND COUNTRY...AND
INTO THE CHIHUAHUA INTERIOR. FALLING HEIGHTS WILL SUPPORT A COUPLE
DEGREES OFF THE RECORD BREAKING TEMPERATURES...BUT EXCURSIONS WILL
REMAIN 8 TO 15 DEGREES WARM IN THE EAST...AND 3 TO 8 DEGREES WARM
IN THE WEST. QUICK BLIPS IN THE FLOW ALOFT MAY BE SUFFICIENT TO
TOUCH OFF SOME SPOTTY STORMS WEDNESDAY EVENING OVER THE NORTHEAST
PLAINS AS THE START TO A LITTLE MORE SHOWER COVERAGE FOR THE LAST
HALF OF THE WORK WEEK. DRY CONDITIONS ELSEWHERE IN A BROADLY
UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE AS THE SURFACE REMAINS WARM...AND THIS WILL
KEEP THE FIRE WORRY GOING FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER DAY.

OUTLOOK...THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...COOLING TREND THROUGH FRIDAY
LEVELING OUT NEAR EARLY JUNE NORMALS FOR SATURDAY...AS SHORTWAVE
OVER THE MOJAVE DESERT OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA THURSDAY CROSSES
INTO NEW MEXICO FRIDAY MORNING AND EJECTS TO THE EAST FRIDAY
NIGHT LEAVING THE STATE UNDER MODEST NORTHWEST FLOW. COOL PUSH
INTO THE NORTHEAST THURSDAY WILL EXPAND ACROSS ALL OF THE EAST
THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...BOOSTING SHOWER CHANCES FROM THE RIO GRANDE
EASTWARD. WITH NORTHWEST FLOW RETURNING SATURDAY...SHOWER COVERAGE
WILL COLLAPSE BACK OVER THE EASTERN PLAINS AND AWAY FROM THE RIO
GRANDE VALLEY ON SATURDAY. WETTING RAIN POTENTIAL BEST THROUGH THE
PERIOD GENERALLY EAST OF A TAOS TO ROSWELL LINE.

SANGRES AND SANDIA/MANZANO MOUNTAINS EASTWARD TO THE CENTRAL AND
NORTHEAST HIGHLANDS. UPGRADED FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR THESE TWO ZONES
AS A RESULT. CANCELED FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR THE EAST-CENTRAL AND

AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER NORTHERN MEXICO STRENGTHENS/BUILDS
NORTHWARD MONDAY...LIMITING WINDS SPEEDS BUT ALLOWING FOR ADDITIONAL
WARMING TO TAKE PLACE. LIGHTER WINDS ALONG WITH VERY WARM TO HOT
CONDITIONS WILL BE THE RULE MONDAY. A WEAK AND DRY BACKDOOR COLD
FRONT...HOWEVER...WILL DROP INTO THE EASTERN PLAINS LATE TONIGHT AND
MONDAY MORNING...COOLING TEMPERATURES BY A FEW DEGREES.

CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS RETURN TUESDAY AFTERNOON. AS AN UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH MOVES EASTWARD THROUGH THE GREAT BASIN MONDAY NIGHT AND
TUESDAY...THE RIDGE FLATTENS/FOLDS OVER SOMEWHAT...ALLOWING STRONGER
WEST AND SOUTHWEST WINDS TO RETURN TO CENTRAL AND NORTHERN NEW
MEXICO. A VERY DRY AIR MASS WILL COMBINE WITH WELL ABOVE AVERAGE/HOT
TEMPERATURES...HIGH HAINES AND INCREASING WEST WINDS TO CREATE
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING
FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND EAST-CENTRAL NEW MEXICO. A MARGINALLY
CRITICAL DAY APPEARS ON TAP WEDNESDAY AS WINDS ALOFT REMAIN MODERATE
TO STRONG AND HAINES AND TEMPERATURES REMAIN HIGH.

GFS COMING MORE IN LINE WITH ECMWF FOR THE LATTER HALF OF THE WORK
WEEK. MODELS INDICATING THAT A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT WILL DROP INTO
THE NORTHEAST AND EAST-CENTRAL PLAINS THURSDAY. BOTH MODELS DEVELOP
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE EAST SLOPES OF THE NORTHERN
SANGRE DE CRISTOS EASTWARD THURSDAY EVENING AND PARTICULARLY ON
FRIDAY. ANOTHER BACKDOOR SURGE MOVES SOUTH THROUGH NORTHEAST NM
SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH PERHAPS MORE CONVECTION FOR THE
NORTHEAST PLAINS.
