Severe Thunderstorm Warning 187, NWS Albuquerque, NM

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
329 PM MDT WED JUL 16 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED
ACROSS NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NEW MEXICO TONIGHT...THEN MAINLY EAST
OF THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE THURSDAY...AS AN UNSEASONABLY STRONG UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH GRADUALLY PASSES NORTHEAST OF THE STATE. SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS AND FLASH FLOODING WILL BE POSSIBLE INTO THIS
EVENING ACROSS THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS AND POINTS EAST TO NEW
MEXICOS EASTERN BORDER. THE RISK OF FLASH FLOODING WILL PERSIST
THROUGH LATE TONIGHT MAINLY FROM THE SANGRE DE CRISTO MOUNTAINS
EASTWARD. HIGH TEMPERATURES SHOULD FALL A FEW TO 13 DEGREES EAST
OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN THURSDAY COMPARED TO TODAYS
READINGS. IN THE WAKE OF THE UPPER TROUGH...DRIER AIR WILL FILTER
INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTHWEST ON FRIDAY AND TEMPERATURES WILL
REBOUND. THE WEEKEND SHOULD FEATURE DAILY ROUNDS OF SCATTERED TO
ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES A FEW
TO 9 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
A COLD FRONT CURRENTLY DROPPING SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE CO BORDER
WILL MAKE ITS STRONGEST PUSH SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE PLAINS TONIGHT.
NE AREAS WILL ALSO HAVE THE BEST UPPER DYNAMICS AS THE UPPER
TROUGH APPROACHES...SO THE SANGRES EASTWARD SHOULD HAVE THE BEST
CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN DURING THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS. THE FRONT IS FORECAST TO BANK UP AGAINST THE E SLOPES OF THE
CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN THURSDAY...CAUSING THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN
CHAIN AND E SLOPES TO BE FAVORED FOR SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS
THUNDERSTORMS.

IN THE WAKE OF THE UPPER TROUGH THE 500 MB RIDGE AXIS SHOULD SET
UP FROM SW NM TO N CA...WHICH WILL FUNNEL DRIER AIR INTO NM AND
SHUNT ANY MONSOON MOISTURE WESTWARD FROM NORTHERN MEXICO FOR
FRIDAY. MODELS PROG THE MID LEVEL HIGH TO BUILD OVER S NM
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. GFS AND ECMWF ARE STARTING TO HINT THAT
MODEST MONSOON MOISTURE WILL WORK ITS WAY UNDER AND AROUND THE
RIDGE OVER WESTERN AND POSSIBLY NORTHERN PARTS OF THE FORECAST
AREA BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

MODELS DIVERGE ON PLACEMENT OF THE 500 MB HIGH PRESSURE CENTROID
MONDAY AND TUESDAY...WITH THE GFS MIGRATING IT TO THE TX PANHANDLE
AND THE ECMWF SHIFTING IT NORTHWARD TO SE CO. THIS MAKES EXTENDED
POP FORECASTING CHALLENGING...BECAUSE THE PLACEMENT OF THE HIGH WILL
DETERMINE HOW MUCH IF ANY MONSOON MOISTURE WORKS ITS WAY
NORTHWARD. CURRENT FORECAST EMPHASIZES CLIMATOLOGICALLY FAVORED
LOCATIONS FOR CHANCE AND SLIGHT CHANCE PROBABILITIES. WITH THE
HIGH OVER THE AREA AND LOWER THUNDERSTORM CHANCES THAN NORMAL FOR
THIS TIME OF YEAR...LOOK FOR HIGH TEMPERATURES TO VARY AROUND 5 TO
10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE COMING WORK WEEK.

.FIRE WEATHER...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE FORMED ACROSS MUCH OF THE NORTHERN
AND WESTERN HIGH TERRAIN THIS AFTERNOON...AND ARE SLOWLY MOVING TO
THE SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST. SOME HAVE BECOME LOCALLY STRONG OR
SEVERE...PRODUCING VERY HEAVY RAINS AND GUSTY WINDS. FOR THE REST OF
THE EVENING...THE STRONGEST STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE
NORTHEAST QUADRANT OF THE STATE WHERE ADDITIONAL STRONG TO SEVERE
STORMS ARE POSSIBLE AS WELL AS LOCALIZED FLOODING. PROLONGED STORMS
ARE ALSO POSSIBLE THIS EVENING ACROSS ZONE 109 AS WELL AS THE LOWER
RIO GRANDE VALLEY. BY MIDNIGHT...A BACK DOOR COLD FRONT WILL MOVE
INTO THE NE PLAINS. ADDITIONAL STORMS MAY FORM ALONG IT.
REGARDLESS...IT WILL SLIDE SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE PLAINS OVERNIGHT AND
EARLY THURSDAY. THE FRONT MAY PUSH INTO THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY
BRIEFLY AS WELL. RICH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL BE FOUND BEHIND
IT...THUS THE COMBINATION OF THE FRONT AND THE STORMS THIS EVENING
WILL YIELD EXCELLENT HUMIDITY RECOVERIES AGAIN TONIGHT. GOOD TO
EXCELLENT RECOVERIES ARE EVEN EXPECTED ACROSS CENTRAL AND WESTERN
AREAS.

ON THURSDAY...NORTHWEST FLOW WILL BRING DRIER AIR INTO THE WESTERN
HALF OF THE STATE IN THE WAKE OF THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH. THIS WILL
LESSEN THE CONVECTIVE COVERAGE ACROSS THIS AREA SIGNIFICANTLY...
THOUGH THERE IS SOME CONCERN FOR MICROBURSTS OCCURRING WITH WHAT
STORMS DO FORM DUE TO THE FORECAST INVERTED-V SOUNDINGS. ASIDE FROM
THUNDERSTORM WINDS...GENERAL NORTHWEST BREEZES SHOULD INCREASE AS
WELL. IF THE FRONT PUSHES INTO THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY...IT SHOULD MIX
BACK EAST EARLY THURSDAY. MEANWHILE...ALONG AND EAST OF THE CENTRAL
MOUNTAIN CHAIN...STRONG LOW LEVEL UPSLOPE FLOW IS EXPECTED...AND
STORMS SHOULD DEVELOP ALONG THE CENTRAL MTN CHAIN DURING THE
AFTERNOON. THIS...OF COURSE...IS SOMEWHAT DEPENDENT ON TONIGHTS
CONVECTION AND HOW WORKED OVER THE ATMOSPHERE MAY BE. IF STORMS DO
FORM...THEY SHOULD GENERALLY MOVE TO THE SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST ONCE
AGAIN.

THE DRY AIR WILL PUSH A BIT FURTHER EAST ON FRIDAY...AND STORM
COVERAGE SHOULD LESSEN FURTHER. SOME LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL LIKELY
BE RECYCLED IN THE FORM OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...BUT THE
PERIOD OF WIDESPREAD STORMS WILL HAVE CEASED. INSTEAD...WIDESPREAD
HAINES VALUES OF 5 AND 6 WILL RETURN FOR MUCH OF THE CENTRAL AND
WEST.

THE UPPER HIGH WILL MOVE BACK OVER NM OVER THE WEEKEND...AND SHOULD
DRY OUT THE AREA FURTHER...THOUGH A FEW STORMS WILL STILL OCCUR.
WIDESPREAD 5 AND 6 HAINES WILL PREVAIL ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA AND
TEMPERATURES WILL RISE BACK UP ABOVE NORMAL. MINIMUM HUMIDITIES WILL
FALL INTO THE TEENS FOR ALL BUT THE FAR EAST.

BY MONDAY...THERE ARE SOME DIFFERENCES IN THE MODELS REGARDING THE
PLACEMENT OF THE UPPER HIGH. THE GFS FAVORS THE CENTER OF THE HIGH
NEAR AMARILLO...WHILE THE ECMWF POINTS THE CENTER TOWARD THE FOUR
CORNERS REGION. HOWEVER...BY THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK...THE UPPER HIGH
LOOKS TO BE SPRAWLING ACROSS NM AND MUCH OF THE SOUTHWEST...THUS IT
WILL BE DIFFICULT TO GET MUCH MOISTURE UP FROM THE SOUTH.
HOWEVER...THERE COULD BE SOME LOW LEVEL EAST OR SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW
THAT MAY PROVIDE SOME MOISTURE FOR ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS.

VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT VENTILATION IS EXPECTED ACROSS CENTRAL AND
WESTERN AREAS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...WHILE MAINLY FAIR VENTILATION IS
EXPECTED ACROSS THE EAST. VENTILATION SHOULD IMPROVE AREAWIDE OVER
THE WEEKEND WITH INCREASING MIXING HEIGHTS. POOR VENTILATION MAY
RETURN EARLY NEXT WEEK ACROSS THE WEST AS BOTH MIXING HEIGHTS AND
TRANSPORT WINDS LOWER.

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF CYCLE
CUMULUS CLOUDS ARE CURRENTLY STARTING TO BUBBLE OVER THE MTS.
EXPECT STORMS TO DEVELOP BY 19Z. SCT TO NMRS STORMS ARE EXPECTED
ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN HIGH TERRAIN TODAY...THEN AS A
COLD FRONT PLUNGES INTO THE NE THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT...
ADDITIONAL STORMS WILL DEVELOP ON THE NE PLAINS. STORMS WILL MOVE
TOWARD THE S OR SE AROUND 10 TO 15KT...THUS CONVECTION OVER THE
NORTHERN MTS EARLY THIS AFTN MAY ALSO DRIFT SE OVER THE NE
PLAINS...BEFORE THE FRONT ARRIVES. A FEW STRONG TO PERHAPS SEVERE
STORMS ARE EXPECTED OVER THE NE AND EC PLAINS LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS THE
MAIN THREATS. BRIEF MVFR CIGS AND/OR VSBYS AS WELL AS MT
OBSCURATIONS ARE POSSIBLE WITH ANY HEAVY RAIN PRODUCING STORM.
