$$What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Albuquerque, NM wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at May 23, 6:06 PM MDT, 49 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 23, 6:06 PM MDT, 49 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM 606 PM MDT FRI MAY 23 2014 .AVIATION... 00Z TAF CYCLE STILL SOME SPOTTY MVFR CIGS AREAS NEAR AND EAST OF A LINE FROM ROUGHLY DULCE TO SAN YSIDRO MAY WELL LINGER INTO THE EVENING AND MAY EXPAND SOME OVERNIGHT DUE TO MOIST AIR MASS AND ONGOING SHRA AND TSRA. SHRA AND TSRA...A FEW OF THE LATTER POSS SEVERE WITH LARGE HAIL AND VERY STRONG GUSTS...WILL EXPAND ACROSS THE EAST HALF OF THE STATE...WHILE CONTINUING IN LESS WIDESPREAD COVERAGE AND WITH LOWER SEVERE RISK SEVERAL HOURS INTO THE EVENING ACROSS BERNALILLO AND SOCORRO COUNTY ON WESTWARD. AFTER 07Z PRECIPITATION SHOULD BECOME LESS CONVECTIVE AND MORE STRATIFORM. SOME MT OBSCURATIONS WILL ALSO BE LIKELY ACROSS THE NORTHERN MTS AND THE REST OF THE CENTRAL MT CHAIN. HIGHEST CONFIDENCE IN TSRA THIS EVENING AFTERNOON AT SAF...LVS...ROW...ABQ...AEG AND TO A SLIGHTLY LESSER DEGREE TCC...GUP AND FMN. BRIEF PERIODS OF MVFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE WITH ANY STORM THAT IMPACTS A TERMINAL SITE. RADAR TRENDS AND DEVELOPMENT AND DECAY OF CONVECTION WILL LIKELY NECESSITATE RATHER FREQUENT AMENDMENTS. SIMILAR SCENARIO SETS UP AGAIN FOR SATURDAY WITH BEST POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE TSRA TO BE A LITTLE FARTHER TO THE EAST AND SE. 43 && .PREV DISCUSSION...312 PM MDT FRI MAY 23 2014... .SYNOPSIS... ACTIVE WEATHER WILL CONTINUE OVER MUCH OF NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NEW MEXICO THROUGH THE MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MEETS UP WITH ABUNDANT MOISTURE FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO. NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO PERIODICALLY DEVELOP OVER CENTRAL...EASTERN...AND NORTHERN SECTIONS OF THE STATE TODAY AND TONIGHT WITH JUST A FEW STRAY STORMS POSSIBLE IN THE SOUTHWESTERN MOUNTAINS. SOME STORMS IN THE EASTERN PLAINS MAY BECOME SEVERE WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. BATCHES OF RAIN AND EMBEDDED STORMS MAY LAST WELL INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO THEN REDEVELOP ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM INCHES CLOSER TO NEW MEXICO. BY SUNDAY AND MONDAY STORMS WILL BECOME MOST CONCENTRATED OVER THE NORTH CENTRAL TO NORTHEASTERN PARTS OF NEW MEXICO. COOLER THAN AVERAGE TEMPERATURES WILL LAST THROUGH MONDAY BEFORE A BUILDING RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE ALLOWS FOR A WARMING TREND DURING THE REST OF NEXT WEEK. && ...ACTIVE CONVECTIVE PATTERN TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL IN THE EASTERN PLAINS... .DISCUSSION... AND SEEMS TO HAVE ALREADY SEEN ITS MINIMAL CENTRAL PRESSURE. THUS...SOME GRADUAL FILLING IN OF THE LOW IS EXPECTED AS IT VERY SLOWLY DRIFTS EAST NORTHEAST. NAM WAS PEGGING SOME IMPRESSIVE H3 DIVERGENCE OVER CENTRAL NM EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...LIKELY WHAT IS DRIVING THE BULK OF CURRENT CONVECTION AS HEATING CONTINUES TO DESTABILIZE THE ATMOSPHERE. THIS DIVERGENT AREA WILL TRANSITION TO NORTH CENTRAL NM THIS EVENING WITH SOME BROADER/WEAKER DIVERGENCE ALOFT AIDING THE EASTERN ZONES THIS EVENING WHEN FULL DESTABILIZATION HAS BEEN REACHED. FOR TONIGHT POP TRENDS ARE ESSENTIALLY THE SAME AS PREVIOUS FORECAST PACKAGE...WITH MUCH OF THE CENTRAL TO EASTERN ZONES STAYING ACTIVE OVERNIGHT. SEVERE THREAT EAST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS WILL BE HIGHEST THROUGH EVENING...TURNING MORE TOWARD AN ELEVATED OR NON-SURFACE-BASED MODE THEREAFTER. THIS WILL ALSO LIKELY MORPH INTO A WIDESPREAD STRATIFORM EVENT TOWARD EARLY SATURDAY MORNING...DEPENDENT ON ANY LOBES OF VORTICITY GETTING SHED NORTHEASTWARD IN THE DIFFLUENT FLOW. NORTHERN AND EASTERN ZONES REMAIN BLANKETED IN LIKELY POPS FOR SATURDAY AS THE LOW IS EXPECTED TO MOVE OVER THE WESTERN BORDER OF NM. CONTINUED FETCH OF UPPER LEVEL FORCING WILL BE SPREAD OVER THESE AREAS IN THE DIFFLUENT FLOW. THERE ARE SOME INDICATIONS THAT THE DRY SLOT CURRENTLY SEEN ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY WILL DIG ITS WAY INTO SOUTH CENTRAL AND EASTERN NM. THE GFS IS MOST AGGRESSIVE WITH THIS DRY PUNCH...BUT IS SOMEWHAT OF AN OUTLIER. FOR NOW HAVE KEPT HEALTHY DEWPOINTS INTACT OVER THE EAST CENTRAL TO SOUTHEASTERN PLAINS WITH SOME DRYING IN LOWER RIO GRANDE VALLEY. THIS SHOULD STILL BE SUFFICIENT BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE FOR WIDESPREAD CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY IN THE EAST...BUT A LATE INITIATION TIME MIGHT BE IN ORDER DEPENDING ON TONIGHT'S ACTIVITY. SEVERE THREAT WILL STILL BE INTACT IN THE EAST WITH EVEN BETTER MID LEVEL FLOW ADDING TO BULK SHEAR PARAMETERS...AND IF A SHARP INTERFACE DOES DEVELOP ALONG THE MID LEVEL DRY SLOT...THIS COULD ENHANCE SEVERE DISCRETE STORMS. INTO SUNDAY THE FORECAST MODELS ARE NOW INDICATING A MORE WOBBLY PATH AND SLOWER TRACK TO THE UPPER LOW. RATHER THAN CONTINUING EAST NORTHEAST IT SEEMS AS THOUGH ELONGATING AND PINWHEELING LOBES OF VORTICITY ARE ADDING SOME ANGULAR MOMENTUM AND STEERING THE LOW A BIT MORE NORTH...JUST EAST OF THE FOUR CORNERS. THIS SHOULD KEEP THINGS FAIRLY ACTIVE OVER THE NORTHERN TIER OF NM WITH STILL SOME POTENTIAL FOR SCATTERED SEVERE ACTIVITY IN THE EAST. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN COOLER THAN AVERAGE WITH BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE EVEN RECOVERING A BIT IN SOME CENTRAL ZONES. BY MONDAY THE LOW RESUMES ITS EASTWARD PROGRESSION...HOWEVER...BEING CUT OFF AND DISPLACED FROM THE POLAR JET THERE MAY BE SOME POTENTIAL FOR IT TO MOVE SLOWER THAN CURRENTLY PROGNOSES INDICATE. HAVE INCREASED POPS MORE FOR MONDAY...INCLUDING THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN. BY TUESDAY AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL SHOW SIGNS OF CLOSING IN CLOSER TO THE STATE. THIS WILL LET TEMPERATURES REBOUND CLOSER TO NORMAL WITH A DRASTIC DECREASE IN PRECIPITATION...BUT SUFFICIENT MOISTURE FOR RECYCLING WILL STILL YIELD A FEW STORMS. TOWARD THE END OF NEXT WEEK THERE WILL BE POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER SURGE OF GULF MOISTURE COMING INTO THE EAST...A SCENARIO THAT THE GFS IS MUCH MORE ENTHUSED ABOUT COMPARED TO ITS EUROPEAN COUNTERPART. 52 && .FIRE WEATHER... CURRENT SATELLITE DATA SHOWS AN UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM OVER SW ARIZONA HELPING IGNITE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS MUCH OF WESTERN AND CENTRAL NEW MEXICO THIS AFTERNOON. THE STORM SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE PRODUCING ACTIVE CONVECTIVE WEATHER THROUGH MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND. THIS SHOULD MAKE FOR A RELATIVELY QUIET FIRE WEATHER PERIOD. A DEVELOPING DRY SLOT WILL BEGIN SHIFTING THE ONGOING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE EASTERN PLAINS TONIGHT...LEAVING CLEARER SKIES AND LOWER DEWPOINTS OVER THE GILA MOUNTAINS. AS THE SHOWERS MOVE ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS TONIGHT...SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED...WHICH SHOULD HELP IMPROVE SOIL MOISTURE. OVERNIGHT RH RECOVERIES WILL BE GOOD TO EXCELLENT OVER CENTRAL AND EASTERN NM AND FAIR OVER THE GILAS. THE UPPER LEVEL STORM WILL BEGIN LIFTING NE SATURDAY...AND CENTER NEAR THE FOUR CORNERS BY SUNDAY. MUCH OF NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NM WILL SEE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY...WITH THE NORTHERN MTS AND EASTERN PLAINS FAVORED SATURDAY AND THE NORTHERN MTS FAVORED SUNDAY. A FEW DRY THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE SATURDAY MORNING AS THE DRY SLOT WORKS INTO SW NM...BUT THE MOISTURE DEFICIT SHOULD BE SHORT LIVED. TEMPERATURES WILL TREND DOWN EACH DAY...BECOMING WELL BELOW NORMAL BY SUNDAY. WITH GENERALLY WEAKER WINDS AND LOWERING MIXING HEIGHTS...VENT RATES WILL TREND DOWN THROUGH SUNDAY...WITH NW NM SEEING FAIR TO POOR VENT RATES AND GOOD VENT RATES MOST OTHER AREAS. RECENT MODEL TRENDS NOW INDICATE THAT THE STORM SYSTEM WILL DIVE SE MONDAY...CENTERING OVER THE EASTERN PLAINS. BASED ON THE LARGE SCALE PATTERNS...IT IS EXPECTED THAT THIS TREND IS LIKELY TO OCCUR. THIS WILL TRANSLATE TO MORE WIDESPREAD SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ON MEMORIAL DAY THAN YESTERDAYS FORECAST PACKAGE. THE NORTHERN MTS AND EASTERN PLAINS WILL REMAIN THE FAVORED AREAS...BUT HIGHER PRECIP CHANCES EXIST WEST TO THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE. TEMPERATURES WILL BEGIN REBOUNDING MONDAY...THOUGH REMAINING BELOW NORMAL. OVERNIGHT RH RECOVERIES WILL ALSO START TO TREND DOWN...BECOMING FAIR WEST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AND GOOD TO EXCELLENT EAST. A RIDGE WILL BUILD INTO THE AREA TUESDAY AS THE STORM SYSTEM EXITS EAST. MOISTURE SHOULD REMAIN TRAPPED UNDER THE RIDGE...AND COMBINED WITH TEMPERATURES ABOVE NORMAL...ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL INITIALLY DEVELOP OVER THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS MID WEEK...AND SPREAD TO THE EASTERN PLAINS BY THE LATE WEEK PERIOD. OTHERWISE...EXPECT INCREASING HIGH TEMPS AREA WIDE AND DECREASING MIN AND MAX RH VALUES FOR ALL BUT THE FAR EASTERN PLAINS. 24 && .ABQ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. &&
