AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
1153 AM MDT THU MAY 22 2014

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF CYCLE
MUCH MORE ACTIVE WEATHER IS ALREADY UNFOLDING OVER EASTERN HALF OF
NEW MEXICO...AND THIS WILL BE THE CASE THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
STORMS ARE ALREADY ERUPTING...AND SHOULD BE SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS
EAST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING. SOME
STORMS WILL BE SEVERE WITH HAIL AND GUSTS TO 50 KT. STORMS ARE
EXPECTED TO DECREASE IN COVERAGE BY EARLY TO MID EVENING...BUT
ENOUGH INSTABILITY MAY KEEP A FEW STORMS GOING WELL INTO THE
OVERNIGHT. ANY STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF BRIEFLY REDUCING
CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES TO MVFR OR IFR CATEGORIES. WEST OF THE
CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN STORM ACTIVITY WILL BE MUCH MORE ISOLATED
AND LESS ORGANIZED WITH GUSTY WINDS BEING THE PRIMARY THREAT.
AFTER A LATE OVERNIGHT AND EARLY MORNING LULL...MORE ACTIVITY IS
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP FRIDAY.

.PREV DISCUSSION...404 AM MDT THU MAY 22 2014...
...SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF THE PLAINS
TODAY WITH SCATTERED TO ISOLATED DRY THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE WEST...

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA THIS
MORNING WILL DRIFT SLOWLY EASTWARD OVER NORTHERN NEW MEXICO OVER
THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. THE SYSTEM IS ALREADY DRAWING ABUNDANT LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE INTO NEW MEXICO FROM THE SOUTHEAST...AND THIS WILL
FEED SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TODAY
THROUGH SATURDAY. SOME THUNDERSTORMS MAY TURN SEVERE ACROSS PARTS
OF THE PLAINS TODAY...FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. MUCH OF THE RAIN WEST
OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN WILL EVAPORATE BEFORE REACHING THE
GROUND TODAY...BUT WESTERN AREAS WILL ALSO MOISTEN UP AFTER TODAY AS
THE UPPER LOW APPROACHES. PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL BEGIN TO
TREND DOWNWARD SATURDAY NIGHT AS THE SYSTEM PULLS DRIER AIR INTO
THE AREA FROM THE SOUTHWEST.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
WPC PROGS DEPICT NEARLY 2 INCHES OF RAIN ALONG THE EASTERN BORDER
OF THE FORECAST AREA TODAY THROUGH THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND...WITH LOCALLY
OVER 1 INCH IN THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS. LIGHTER AND SPOTTIER
PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TOWARD THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE
FORECAST AREA. OF PARTICULAR CONCERN DURING THE AFTERNOONS AND
EVENINGS TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY WILL BE A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF THE EASTERN PLAINS DUE TO FAVORABLE
SHEAR AND INSTABILITY WITH THE APPROACHING UPPER LOW. THE RISK OF
SEVERE WEATHER SHOULD SHIFT EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA SUNDAY AS A
DRY SLOT MOVES OVER SOUTHERN AND EASTERN AREAS FROM THE SOUTHWEST.

AT THIS TIME...MODELS SHOW SOME OF THE MOST WIDESPREAD
PRECIPITATION FOR CENTRAL PARTS OF THE STATE...INCLUDING THE
ALBUQUERQUE AND SANTA FE AREAS...OCCURRING FRIDAY NIGHT AND
SATURDAY. EAST CANYON WINDS COULD BECOME STRONG AT TIMES THIS
AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT DUE TO GUSTY THUNDERSTORM
OUTFLOWS AND LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE TOWARD THE SLOWLY APPROACHING
UPPER LOW.

LINGERING ROUNDS OF CONVECTION SHOULD FAVOR NORTHERN AREAS SUNDAY
THROUGH MONDAY DUE TO MOISTURE WRAPPING AROUND THE SLOWLY EXITING
UPPER LOW. A BACK DOOR COLD FRONT LOOKS TO PROVIDE AN EXTRA
FOCUSING MECHANISM ACROSS THE NE MONDAY...THEN POSSIBLE FARTHER
SOUTH MONDAY NIGHT. A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE CROSSING ALOFT SHOULD
PROVIDE A LULL IN THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY TUESDAY...BUT THE MIDDLE
TO LATTER PART OF THE COMING WORK WEEK MAY BRING ANOTHER UPTICK IN
SHOWERS AND STORMS AS A MOIST BACK DOOR COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE
AREA AND ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL TROUGH DEEPENS WEST OF NEW MEXICO.

44

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
DRY LIGHTNING THREAT PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND WESTERN NEW MEXICO
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING FOLLOWED BY AN EXTENDED STRETCH OF
ELEVATED RH...COOLER TEMPERATURES AND INCREASED CHANCES OF WETTING
PRECIP FRIDAY THROUGH THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. WARMER AND LESS ACTIVE
PATTERN EARLY NEXT WEEK.

LARGE-SCALE PATTERN WILL CONTINUE TO FAVOR SIGNIFICANT AIR MASS
MOISTENING IN THE NEAR TERM...AS BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS FROM THE SOUTH
AND SOUTHEAST CONTINUE TO TRANSPORT HIGHER DEW POINT AIR NORTH AND
INCREASINGLY WESTWARD. FORECAST MODELS REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON
THE SLOWLY EVOLVING PATTERN ALOFT.  AN EXPANSIVE UPPER LOW TO SLOWLY
TRACK EAST OVER SOUTHERN ARIZONA FRIDAY/FRIDAY NIGHT BEFORE SLOWLY
PIVOTING NORTHEAST AND TRACKING TOWARD NORTHERN NEW MEXICO AND
SOUTHERN COLORADO SATURDAY/SATURDAY NIGHT.

OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM AN INITIAL ROUND OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS ON
THE EASTERN PLAINS LATE WEDNESDAY ENHANCED AN EASTERLY PUSH OF MORE
HUMID AIR INTO THE UPPER/MIDDLE RIO GRANDE VALLEY AND SANTA FE METRO
AREA EARLIER THIS MORNING. A NEAR REPEAT PERFORMANCE IS EXPECTED
TONIGHT WITH EVEN STRONGER GAP WINDS...AS SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM
CLUSTERS BECOME MORE NUMEROUS AND ORGANIZED EAST OF THE CENTRAL
MOUNTAIN CHAIN LATER TODAY AND INTO THE EVENING.  EVEN MORE
WIDESPREAD SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED FRIDAY AND
FRIDAY NIGHT.

A CHALLENGING ASPECT OF THE NEAR TERM FORECAST WILL BE GAUGING HIGH
BASED SHOWER/DRY THUNDERSTORM TRENDS WEST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN
CHAIN THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.  WE HAVE INCREASED THE COVERAGE OF
HIGH BASED ACTIVITY PARTICULARLY WESTERN HIGH TERRAIN AREAS MAINLY
WC/SW WHICH WILL COME UNDER AN INCREASINGLY DIFFLUENT FLOW PATTERN
ALOFT LATE TODAY AND INTO THE EVENING. FOOTPRINTS OF WETTING
RAINFALL IF ANY WILL BE VERY SMALL AND THUS WE ARE INCLUDING LAL 6
FOR PORTIONS OF ZONES 102...105 AND 109 WHERE CONFIDENCE IS HIGHEST
FOR AT LEAST LOW END SCATTERED COVERAGE.  THERE WILL BE A REGION OF
HYBRID...OR MIXED WET/DRY...STORMS BETWEEN THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY AND
EAST SLOPES OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN WHERE A HEIGHTENED CONCERN
FOR SOME DRY LIGHTNING WILL EXIST AS WELL PARTICULARLY FROM THE
CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS SOUTHWARD. GIVEN THE MARKED TREND TOWARD MORE
WET THAN DRY WILL NOT HIGHLIGHT THIS AREA WITH LAL 6.

OTHERWISE...AFTER TODAY/S ROUND OF DIURNAL CONVECTION SLOWLY WANES
AFTER SUNSET...WETTING PRECIP CHANCES WILL RAPIDLY TREND UPWARD FOR
CENTRAL/WESTERN AREAS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. DRY SLOT IMPACTS MAY
BEGIN  TO APPEAR FOR SW/SC AREAS THIS WEEKEND...BUT GENERALLY SOUTH
OF OUR AREA.  ALSO WORTH NOTING THERE WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE PLAINS EACH DAY...WITH STRONG STORMS
LIKELY AS FAR WEST AS THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN IF NOT PORTIONS OF
THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY.  LATE NIGHT THUNDERSTORMS ARE A GOOD BET
TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING...AND AGAIN SATURDAY MORNING.

THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL BEGIN TO DIMINISH IN COVERAGE SUNDAY AND
MORESO MONDAY. HOWEVER...AS THE TROUGH ALOFT PASSES OVER NORTHERN
NEW MEXICO SUNDAY FOLLOWED BY A NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT ON MEMORIAL
DAY...DAYTIME HEATING AND RESIDUAL MOISTURE WILL RESULT IN AN
UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE BOTH DAYS WITH ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED. WRAP AROUND MOISTURE WILL IMPACT THE WESTERN
AND NORTHERN MOUNTAINS FOR A MORE SUSTAINED PERIOD SUN-MON AND
WETTING PRECIP LOOKS TO REMAIN FAIRLY WIDESPREAD DURING THIS
PERIOD. KJ
