AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
330 AM MDT SUN JUN 15 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
DIFFICULT FORECAST THROUGH MOST OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. IT WILL
BE DRY TODAY AND TONIGHT THEN POPS ARE IN THE FORECAST FOR EVERY
PERIOD STARTING MONDAY...ALTHOUGH COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OF THE
PRECIPITATION DOES NOT LOOK OVERLY EXCITING. THERE MAY BE SOME
DRY STORMS AS WELL. THE MAIN FOCUS THROUGH THE SHORT TERM WILL
BE ON CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS...ESPECIALLY MONDAY AND
TUESDAY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
DRY AIR HAS PUNCHED INTO NM WHILE A BACK DOOR COLD FRONT...AIDED
BY CONVECTION...IS PRESSING SOUTH ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS. THIS
WILL LEAD TO A COUPLE OF DEGREES OF COOLING IN THE EAST TODAY. THE
WEST WILL BE THE SAME OR A LITTLE WARMER THAN SATURDAY. OVERALL
TEMPERATURES ARE REAL CLOSE TO NORMAL. WINDS WILL BE LESS THAN ON
SATURDAY...BUT STILL BREEZY TO WINDY OVER THE WESTERN HIGH TERRAIN
AND THE NORTHEAST. TONIGHT WILL BE DRY AND SEASONABLY MILD.

THE FORECAST BECOMES TOUGHER BEYOND TODAY AS MODELS HAVE SUBTLE
DIFFERENCES IN REGARDS TO PLACEMENT AND EXTENT OF PRECIPITATION
CHANCES THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND. WHILE THERE WILL BE SLIGHT CHANCES
OF CONVECTION EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING...ABUNDANT MOISTURE IS
LACKING ESPECIALLY IN THE WEST. COVERAGE WILL ONLY BE ISOLATED
AND MOSTLY CONFINED TO THE SOUTHERN AND EASTERN AREAS.

THE STORM MOVING INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST WILL DIP A LITTLE
SOUTH EARLY IN THE WEEK THEN THE TROUGH AXIS WILL CROSS THE STATE
WEDNESDAY. MOISTURE WILL GET DRAWN NORTH INTO NM MONDAY AND
TUESDAY ALLOWING FOR SLIGHT CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND STORMS ACROSS
THE FAR SOUTHERN ZONES MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. ANY STORMS
IN THE GILA REGION SHOULD BE DRY. CHANCES EXTEND NORTH TUESDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH ROUGHLY THE SE HALF OF THE FORECAST
AREA POTENTIALLY SEEING ISOLATED SHOWERS AND STORMS.

THE TROUGH AXIS WILL SWING THROUGH ON WEDNESDAY ALONG WITH THE
ASSOCIATED SURFACE COLD FRONT. THIS WILL SCOUR OUT MUCH OF THE
MOISTURE...RELEGATING ANY CONVECTION TO THE FAR EAST AND SOUTH
CENTRAL ZONES. THURSDAY SHOULD BE MOSTLY DRY AS WELL AS A RIDGE
OF HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO BUILD OVER NM.

A STORM OVER CA FRIDAY WILL LIFT NORTHEAST NEXT WEEKEND. IT TOO
WILL BE ABLE TO DRAW MOISTURE NORTH INTO THE STATE. THE EUROPEAN
HAS MUCH MORE QPF LATE NEXT WEEK AND NEXT WEEKEND...HAVING THE
MOISTURE TRAPPED UNDER A STRENGTHENING RIDGE SMACK OVER NM. THE
GFS IS NOT TOO EXCITED ABOUT MUCH PRECIPITATION DESPITE HAVING
THE RIDGE AXIS MOSTLY TO THE EAST OF THE STATE THROUGH NEXT
WEEKEND. FOR NOW WILL SETTLE ON ISOLATED POPS MAINLY OVER THE
EAST FOR FRIDAY THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND. CHJ

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS CONTINUING THROUGH MID WEEK...

AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL DIG INTO THE NW US TODAY...THEN DEEPEN
INTO A BROAD UPPER LOW MONDAY THAT WILL SHIFT SLOWLY EASTWARD ACROSS
THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL ROCKIES THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THIS
PATTERN WILL KEEP WINDS ALOFT STRONG OVER NM...WITH SOME OF THE
WEAKEST FLOW ALOFT OCCURRING TODAY. THAT SAID...MODELS INDICATE 3 TO
5 HOURS OF CRITICAL WIND SPEEDS THIS AFTERNOON ALONG AND WEST OF THE
CONTINENTAL DIVIDE ACROSS THE WEST CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AND PLATEAU.
WITH 8 TO 13 HOURS OF SINGLE DIGIT RH WEST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN
CHAIN TODAY...WIDESPREAD HAINES OF 6 AND AN ONGOING FIRE IN THE
CHUSKAS...WILL ISSUE A RED FLAG WARNING THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING ALONG AND WEST OF THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE ACROSS THE WEST
CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AND PLATEAU.

CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD
MONDAY...TUESDAY AND PROBABLY ALSO WEDNESDAY AS A SPEED MAXIMUM IN
THE POLAR JET STREAM STRENGTHENS OVERHEAD...A STRONG LEE TROUGH
DEVELOPS IN THE LEE OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN...AND HAINES
INDICES GENERALLY VARY IN THE 5 TO 6 RANGE. ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES MOST LOCATIONS TODAY AND MONDAY WILL TREND GRADUALLY
COOLER TO NEAR AND A LITTLE BELOW NORMAL TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...BUT
GIVEN NORMAL READINGS ARE QUITE HOT THIS TIME OF YEAR IT IS NOT
EXPECTED THAT THE GRADUAL COOL DOWN WILL LIMIT FIRE GROWTH MUCH.
HUMIDITIES WILL ALSO REMAIN ADEQUATELY LOW THROUGH MONDAY...SO WILL
UPGRADE MONDAYS FIRE WEATHER WATCH TO A WARNING AND SPREAD IT
SOUTHEASTWARD TO THE MIDDLE RIO GRANDE VALLEY...SANDIA/MANZANO AND
GALLINAS MOUNTAINS AND EAST CENTRAL PLAINS. BETTER FUEL MOISTURE
WILL PRECLUDE THE NEED FOR A RED FLAG WARNING ACROSS NE AREAS.
ALSO...WINDS ARE NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO WARRANT A RED FLAG WARNING
MONDAY IN THE WEST CENTRAL HIGHLANDS.

TUESDAY...HUMIDITIES SHOULD COME UP ABOVE CRITICAL THRESHOLDS ALONG
AND WEST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN AS ELEVATED AND LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE ARE DRAWN NORTHWESTWARD FROM MEXICO TOWARD THE DEVELOPING
UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE NW US. HOWEVER...AT THIS
TIME CONDITIONS LOOK TO REMAIN DRY ENOUGH TO ISSUE A FIRE WEATHER
WATCH ACROSS THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY...WEST CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AND
NORTHWEST PLATEAU. THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY ABOUT HOW MUCH PROGRESS
THE MOISTURE WILL MAKE TOWARD THE NW...AND THIS WILL DETERMINE
WHETHER FUTURE SHIFTS DROP OR EXPAND TUESDAYS WATCH AREA.

MOISTURE SHOULD SCOUR EASTWARD WEDNESDAY AS THE UPPER LOW FINALLY
PASSES N OF NM. WIND SPEEDS WILL PROBABLY ALSO PEAK IN
STRENGTH WEDNESDAY...SO THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR WIDESPREAD CRITICAL
FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS IMPACTING ALL ZONES.

OTHERWISE...THERE MAY BE ENOUGH MOISTURE FOR SOME SPOTTY LIGHT
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE WEST CENTRAL HIGHLANDS AND ACROSS
THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS. THE SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
MAY SPREAD FAR ENOUGH NW TUESDAY TO REACH PLACES LIKE BOSQUE DEL
APACHE...CLINES CORNERS...CONCHAS AND CLAYTON. THEN...AS MENTIONED
PREVIOUSLY...THE MOISTURE SHOULD SCOUR EASTWARD WEDNESDAY MAKING
MAINLY THE FAR EASTERN PLAINS SUSCEPTIBLE TO A FEW DRY LINE
STORMS.

MODELS AGREE ON A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING OVERHEAD THURSDAY
AND FRIDAY DECREASING WINDS AND REDUCING FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS. A
WEAK UPPER LOW SHOULD ALSO APPROACH FROM THE WEST AND THIS MAY HELP
ENOUGH MOISTURE SEEP NORTHWARD UNDER THE RIDGE FOR BROADER COVERAGE
OF SPOTTY LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...ESPECIALLY BY
SATURDAY. 44

&&

.AVIATION...
06Z TAF CYCLE
VFR CIGS AND VIZ NEXT 24 HRS WITH REDUCED WIND SPEEDS SUNDAY
COMPARED TO SATURDAY EXPERIENCE. BROAD SOUTHWEST GUSTS 25 KTS OR
LESS WILL REDEVELOP FROM 17Z ONWARD SUN MORNING...WITH EXCURSIONS
TO 30 KTS IN TAFS FOR GUP AND LVS. TURBULENT WESTERLY WINDS ALOFT
BACKING TO SOUTHWEST THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY NIGHT...AS SURFACE TROUGH
REDEVELOPS SUN AFTERNOON FROM EASTERN COLORADO TO THE SOUTHERN TX
PANHANDLE AND DOME OF HIGH PRESSURE SITS OVER CENTRAL COLORADO.
