AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
346 AM MDT MON MAR 17 2014

...STRONG WINDS RETURN THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING FOR MUCH OF THE
AREA AND CONTINUE TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING FOR AREAS ALONG/EAST
OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN...

.SYNOPSIS...
STRONG WINDS...WARMER TEMPERATURES AND LOW HUMIDITIES WILL CREATE
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS FOR MUCH OF THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON
AND EARLY EVENING.  COOLER CONDITIONS WILL FOLLOW ON TUESDAY IN WAKE
OF THE STORM SYSTEM WITH UNSEASONABLY COLD TEMPERATURES TUESDAY
NIGHT...INCLUDING SUB-FREEZING TEMPERATURES FOR ALL BUT THE LOWEST
ELEVATIONS OF SE NEW MEXICO. A SLIGHT CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION
EXISTS TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. OTHERWISE... DRY CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED THE REMAINDER OF THE WORK WEEK.

.DISCUSSION...
A QUICK-MOVING BUT STRONG SHORTWAVE TROUGH OVER THE INLAND NW TO
TRANSLATE SEWD TODAY...WHICH WILL RESULT IN STRENGTHENING WESTERLY
WINDS ALOFT OVER OUR REGION AS THE DAY PROGRESSES. 50-60 KTS AT
500MB FORECAST OVER ROUGHLY THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE STATE BY
00Z...WITH EVEN STRONGER WINDS BETWEEN RIDGETOP LEVEL AND 500MB
EXPECTED TONIGHT AS THE BASE OF THE TROUGH PASSES OVERHEAD.
IN RESPONSE TO THE APPROACHING WAVE/STRENGTHENING WESTERLIES...LEE
SIDE CYCLOGENESIS INTENSIFIES OVER SE CO DURING THE PM WITH
DEEPENING SURFACE TROUGH EXTENDING SOUTHWARD INTO EASTERN NM.
INITIALLY...ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS WILL BE FOCUSED MAINLY ACROSS THE
NORTHEAST QUARTER AND NRN/WC HIGHER TERRAIN BUT AN IMPRESSIVE MSLP
GRADIENT INDICATED BY LATE AFTERNOON/EVENING AS THE ASSOCIATED
PACIFIC COLD FRONT PUNCHES INTO THE FOUR CORNERS REGION AND THE LEE
SIDE TROUGH SLIDES EASTWARD. AS A RESULT WE ARE LOOKING AT A
WINDY/VERY WINDY PATTERN THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING FOR MUCH OF THE
AREA WITH AREAS ALONG/IMMEDIATELY EAST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN
LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE HIGH END ADVISORY IF NOT HIGH WIND WARNING
CONDITIONS FOR A PERIOD TONIGHT INTO TUE AM AS THE FLOW VEERS TO
W-NW ENHANCING MOUNTAIN WAVE POTENTIAL AS COLD AIR ADVECTION
ENSUES. BLOWING DUST IMPACTS WILL BE OF PARTICULAR CONCERN IN THE
FOUR CORNERS AND LOWER ELEVATIONS OF WC NM AS WELL AS MUCH OF THE
EAST.

MUCH COOLER AIR MASS TO OVERSPREAD THE AREA IN WAKE OF THE TROUGH
TUE AND TUE NIGHT. MODELS SIMILAR SHOWING THE -30C ISOTHERM AT 500MB
AS FAR SOUTH AS CENTRAL COLORADO BY 12Z TUE WITH 700MB TEMPS -10C
TO -12C FOR NORTHERN AREAS OF NM. UNFORTUNATELY...BEST MOISTURE TO
REMAIN NORTH OF THE STATE BUT WILL MAINTAIN LOW CHANCE POPS ACROSS
THE FAR NORTH TONIGHT THROUGH TUE WITH OROGRAPHIC FORCING/NWLY
FLOW HOPEFULLY GENERATING SOME SPOTTY PRECIP NEAR CHAMA AND THE
NORTHERN SANGRES.

AFTER THE SIGNIFICANT WARM-UP TODAY WITH READINGS GENERALLY 5 TO 15
DEGREES ABOVE SEASONAL...MUCH COOLER CONDITIONS EXPECTED TUESDAY
WITH DAYTIME TEMPS BACK BELOW NORMAL. UNSEASONABLY CHILLY TEMPS
FOR TUE NIGHT WITH SUB-FREEZING TEMPS FOR ALL BUT THE LOWEST ELEV
OF SOUTHEAST NM.

BACK TO MORE TRANQUIL WX WED/THU. GRADIENTS RELAX WED BENEATH A
COOLISH NW FLOW ALOFT. THEN ITS BACK TO A WARMER ZONAL PATTERN THU
WITH MODEST BREEZES ACROSS THE EAST. THE ECMWF IS A LITTLE FASTER
BRINGING DOWN A BACKDOOR FRONT FOR THU NIGHT/FRI AM WITH A
REINFORCING SHOT OF COOLER FOR FRI NIGHT/SAT. GFS HAS SAME OVERALL
TREND BUT JUST A LITTLE SLOWER.  THIS BACKDOOR FRONT WILL THEN SET
THE STAGE FOR WHAT COULD BE A QUASI DRYLINE PATTERN LATER IN THE
WEEKEND INTO MONDAY. RELATIVELY MINOR WAVES TRANSLATING EASTWARD
COMBINED WITH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE POOLING ACROSS FAR EASTERN NEW
MEXICO WILL BE WATCHED BUT FOR NOW WILL JUST HIGHLIGHT A TYPICAL
UPSLOPE PATTERN FOR NC/NE AREAS LATE SAT/SUN. KJ

.FIRE WEATHER...

...CRITICAL CONDITIONS MONDAY AFTERNOON FOR MUCH OF NORTHERN AND
CENTRAL NM...

NO REAL SIGNIFICANT CHANGES MADE TO THE GRIDDED FORECAST. STRONG
WIND...UNUSUALLY DRY AIR WITH LOTS OF SINGLE DIGIT VALUES ACROSS THE
LOWLANDS...ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS AND HAINES 5 TO 6 VALUES ARE EXPECTED
THIS AFTERNOON. THE ONLY FLY IN THE OINTMENT WOULD BE CIRRUS CLOUDS.
CURRENT IR SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THE CIRRUS OVERSPREADING THE AREA
FROM NORTH TO SOUTH. THE THICKER CIRRUS OR MID/HIGH CLOUDS WILL BE
FOUND ACROSS THE NORTH. DECIDED NOT TO UPGRADE ZONE 102 BECAUSE OF
THE CLOUD COVER AND THE FACT THAT A LIONS SHARE OF THE ZONE HAD SNOW
RECENTLY. CHECKED THE DUFF LAYER YESTERDAY WITHIN A PORTION OF THE
JEMEZ MTNS AND THE GROUND IS PARTIALLY FROZEN AND SOPPING WET. THE
LOWLAND AREAS WITHIN THE UPPER RIO GRANDE VALLEY IS NOT NEARLY AS
WET SO PARTS OF THAT AREA COULD SEE CRITICAL CONDITIONS. SOUTHERN
AND EASTERN AREAS SHOULD SEE THE MOST CRITICAL CONDITIONS. WILL
UPGRADE ZONE 106 DESPITE THE RECENT MOISTURE. FULL SUNSHINE
YESTERDAY AND STRONG WINDS THE DAY BEFORE WILL HAVE ERODED SOME OF
THAT MOISTURE GAIN. FORB GREENUP IS ALSO NOT PRONOUNCED ENOUGH TO
MITIGATE FIRE SPREAD. RH RECOVERIES WILL ALSO BE POOR TO MODERATE
LEADING INTO THE EVENT DUE TO UNUSUALLY LOW DEWPOINTS AND GENERALLY
ABOVE NORMAL MINIMUM TEMPS. MIXING HEIGHTS ALSO LOOK TO BE UNUSUALLY
HIGH FOR TODAY ALTHOUGH CIRRUS MAY IMPACT THAT SOME.

THE STRONG TO POSSIBLY VERY STRONG WINDS WILL TRANSITION INTO THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS AS THE FLOW STRENGTHENS ALOFT AND TURNS MORE
NORTHWESTERLY. A PACIFIC COLD FRONT WILL ALSO CROSS OVER THE AREA
FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST DURING THE OVERNIGHT. THIS FEATURE WILL
CREATE SURFACE WIND FLUCTUATIONS. THE STRONGEST WINDS OVERNIGHT WILL
BE FOUND OVER THE HIGHER MOUNTAIN RIDGES OF THE SANDIA/MANZANO/GALLINAS
AND LOWER SANGRE DE CRISTO MOUNTAINS AS WELL AS ADJACENT HIGH
PLAINS. A MTN WAVE/DOWNSLOPE WIND EVENT IS EXPECTED ACROSS THOSE
AREAS AND WILL BE ACCOMPANIED WITH POOR TO MODERATE RH RECOVERIES
AND WARMER THAN NORMAL LOWS ACROSS THE SOUTH AND EAST.

THE WINDS ALOFT WILL REMAIN STRONG THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY ON
TUESDAY BUT THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT RELAXES QUITE A BIT AS THE
DAY PROGRESSES. THERE ALSO APPEARS TO BE A SECONDARY BACK DOOR COLD
FRONTAL SURGE ACROSS THE FAR EAST AND LOOKING FOR SOME BREEZES
RELATED TO THAT FEATURE. HUMIDITY VALUES WILL RISE SLIGHTLY THANKS
TO COOLER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES BETWEEN 5 TO 10 DEGREES BUT THEY
WONT RISE SIGNIFICANTLY...EXCEPT FOR ACROSS THE NORTHEAST. STILL
LOOKING AT SOME SINGLE DIGIT HUMIDITY VALUES ACROSS THE LOWLANDS.
VENTILATION WILL LOWER SOME BUT STILL BE REALLY GOOD ON TUESDAY.

THE WIND FLOW WILL RELAX A BIT MORE ON WEDNESDAY AS A WEAK LEE
TROUGH DEVELOPS ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS. A FEW BREEZES ARE
EXPECTED ACROSS THE NORTHEAST...OTHERWISE PRETTY BENIGN FLOW.
HUMIDITY VALUES SHOULD RISE SLIGHTLY ACROSS THE SOUTH AND EAST BUT
STILL REMAIN REALLY LOW ACROSS THE WEST AND NORTH. SINGLE DIGIT RH
VALUES SHOW UP ACROSS THE WESTERN MTNS. MODELS VARY A BIT ON THE
STRENGTH OF THE MID LEVEL DRY INTRUSION OVER THE AREA BUT BOTH THE
NAM AND GFS INDICATE THIS FEATURE THUS LOW RH VALUES. VENTILATION
WILL LOWER AS A RESULT OF THE LOWER TRANSPORT WINDS.

A WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT SHOULD REMAIN ON THURSDAY. THE GFS AND ECMWF
SUPPORT THIS. THEY ALSO SUPPORT A LITTLE STRONGER LEE SIDE TROUGH SO
WIND SPEEDS SHOULD INCREASE. LOOKING AT SOME BREEZIER CONDITIONS
ACROSS THE NORTHEAST PLAINS AND HIGHER CENTRAL MTN RIDGES. HAINES
VALUES COULD BE A 5 AND THIS WOULD BE ACCOMPANIED WITH ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPS. THUS...CANT RULE OUT A FEW HRS OF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS ACROSS THE NORTHEAST. VENTILATION WOULD CONSIDERABLY
IMPROVE ON THIS DAY AND THE AIRMASS WOULD REMAIN UNUSUALLY DRY.

SIMILAR UPPER FLOW FOR FRIDAY ALTHOUGH THE WINDS SHOULD DECREASE AT
THE SURFACE. STILL LOOKING AT A WEAKER BACK DOOR COLD FRONT OR WIND
SHIFT FROM THE NORTH AND EVENTUALLY EAST DURING THE DAY ON FRIDAY.
AS A RESULT OF THE BACK DOOR...HUMIDITY VALUES SHOULD INCREASE
ACROSS THE EAST. VENTILATION RATES SHOULD REMAIN PRETTY GOOD ON
FRIDAY ALTHOUGH LOWER ACROSS THE NORTHEAST.

A COUPLE BACK DOOR COLD FRONTAL FRONTAL SURGES ARE EXPECTED TO
IMPACT EASTERN AND CENTRAL AREAS DURING THE WEEKEND. DECIDED TO
INCREASE DEWPOINTS A LITTLE BIT MORE AS A RESULT OF THE
EAST/NORTHEAST AND SOUTHEAST WIND FLOWS THERE. SUSPECT PLANT
TRANSPIRATION WILL BE PICKING UP AS THE GROWING SEASON PICKS UP
ACROSS THE HIGH PLAINS BUT A TRICKY TIME OF YEAR FOR THAT. EITHER
WAY...HUMIDITY VALUES WILL IMPROVE ACROSS THE EAST AND MOST LIKELY
ALL AREAS ALTHOUGH CONFIDENCE IS LESS ACROSS THE WEST. A SURFACE
DRYLINE SHOULD SHARP UP SOME ACROSS THE EAST.

NOT LOOKING AT ANY MEASURABLE MOISTURE THROUGH THE NEXT SEVERAL
DAYS.  50

.AVIATION...
06Z TAF CYCLE
ONLY A FEW CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED OVER NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NEW
MEXICO THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS. INTO MONDAY THE PRIMARY AVIATION
CONCERN WILL BE STRONGER WINDS AS A DISTURBANCE ALOFT MOVES INTO
THE CENTRAL ROCKIES WITH DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE TO
THE LEE OF THE MOUNTAINS. BY 17/2100UTC MANY AREAS ARE EXPECTED TO
OBSERVE GUSTS OF 35 TO 45 KT...AND PERHAPS SOME VISIBILITY
REDUCTIONS IN BLOWING DUST. WINDS WILL REMAIN QUITE STRONG INTO
MONDAY NIGHT AS WELL. 52
