AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
325 PM MDT SAT MAR 29 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
BIGGEST WEATHER CONCERN IN THE SHORT TO MID TERM WILL BE
WINDS...ESPECIALLY SUNDAY AND TUESDAY. WIND ADVISORIES AND RED
FLAG WARNINGS IN PLACE FOR SUNDAY...MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING. STRONGER MID AND UPPER LEVEL FLOW SUNDAY AND TUESDAY
HELPING...AMONG OTHER FACTORS...TO DRIVE THE NEAR SURFACE WINDS.
VERY WARM THE NEXT SEVERAL AFTERNOONS ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST QUARTER
TO THIRD OF THE FORECAST AREA. BUT STILL NO SIGNIFICANT
PRECIPITATION EXPECTED AT LEAST THROUGH DAYTIME WEDNESDAY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
WINDS AND FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS THE MAIN ISSUES OVER THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS...SEE FIRE WX DETAILS IN THE ACCOMPANYING FIRE WX
DISCUSSION. WINDS NOT FAR OFF THE DECK TO BE INCREASING LATE
TONIGHT AND INTO SUN...REACHING SPEEDS IN THE 40 TO 55 KT RANGE
SUN IN THE 500 TO 700 MB LAYER. LEE SIDE SURFACE LOW WILL
STRENGTHEN SIGNIFICANTLY IN EASTERN CO...SHARPENING SFC PRESSURE
GRADIENT ACROSS NM AIDING THE TRANSPORT OF WINDS ALOFT TO THE
GROUND TO A HEALTHY DEGREE. HIGH CLOUDS TO BE PRETTY WIDESPREAD
MUCH OF THE DAY...BUT MIXING HEIGHTS STILL EXPECTED TO BE QUITE
HIGH. THE STRONGEST MID LEVEL WINDS WILL NOT FULLY MAKE INTO THE
STATE UNTIL SUN NIGHT...SO THE WESTERN HIGH TERRAIN ZONES MAY SEE
THE HIGHEST GUSTS IN THE AFTERNOON WITH PROLONGED WINDINESS
SHIFTING INTO THE EASTERN ZONES OVERNIGHT. WIDESPREAD WIND
ADVISORY HAZARD GRIDS HAVE BEEN PUT IN PLACE AND PRODUCT TO BE
ISSUED BY OR BEFORE 4 PM MDT. LOOK FOR AT LEAST SOME BLOWING
DUST...THOUGH ANYTHING UNDER 3 MILES VSBY LOOKS TO BE TOO
LOCALIZED TO WARRANT DUST HIGHLIGHTS AT THIS TIME AND DUST IS IN
THE GRIDS AND WILL BE MENTIONED IN WIND ADVISORY AS WELL. BUT
WIDESPREAD CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS DUE TO THE LOW
HUMIDITY AND WINDS TO BE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT CONCERN.

SHORT WAVE RIDGING ALOFT ENTERS NM MON. WINDS ALOFT WILL RELAX
SOME...BUT WILL STILL BE STRONG ENOUGH IN THE MID LEVELS TO DRIVE
SOME BREEZINESS MON...STRONGEST GENERALLY ALONG AND A LITTLE WAYS
EAST OF CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN...BUT ALSO OVER SOME HIGHER WESTERN
TERRAIN. THE NEXT UPSTREAM WAVE WILL MOVE INTO CO ON TUE...SIMILAR
TO SUN. WINDY AND DRY CONDITIONS AGAIN PRETTY LIKELY AS IT
CURRENTLY LOOKS...SO BLOWING DUST POTENTIAL AND CRITICAL FIRE
WEATHER WILL AGAIN BE A CONCERN. MODELS WERE SHOWING A DEEPENING
LOW PRESSURE AREA UPSTREAM OF THIS WAVE THAT MIGHT POTENTIALLY
IMPACT NM LATER WED INTO THU...BUT GFS SOLUTION IS MUCH DEEPER AND
SOMEWHAT FARTHER SOUTH ACROSS THE STATE THAN ECMWF SCENARIO. SO
CONFIDENCE...ESPEC CONCERNING PRECIP...IS FAIRLY LOW CURRENTLY. THE
ECMWF SOLUTION WAITS TO BRING A DEEP CLOSED LOW INTO NM UNTIL NEAR
THE END OF THE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND.

43

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
NO CHANGES MADE TO CURRENT FIRE WEATHER HIGHLIGHTS. BASED ON LATEST
GRIDDED FORECAST MIGHT BE ABLE TO COMBINE BOTH WESTERN AND EASTERN
AREAS INTO ONE WARNING SEGMENT FOR SUNDAY BUT STILL THINK LOCALIZED
AREAS ALONG AND TO THE EAST OF THE CNTRL MTNS COULD SEE CRITICAL
CONDITIONS LINGER THROUGH THE REST OF SUNDAY EVENING. SUNDAY IS A
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER GROWTH DAY. ONLY MITIGATION WOULD BE SOME
PASSING HIGH LEVEL CIRRUS CLOUDS...MAINLY AFFECTING NORTHERN AND
SOME CENTRAL AREAS DURING THE DAY. THINK THERE WILL BE QUITE A BIT
OF SOLAR RADIATION REACHING THE GROUND THOUGH. TUESDAY ALSO LOOKING
SOLID AND SMELL A FORTHCOMING WATCH FOR THAT PERIOD. LOCALIZED
CRITICAL ACROSS THE WEST CENTRAL MTNS AND BETWEEN CLINES CORNERS TO
SANTA ROSA ON MONDAY WITH VERY LOW HUMIDITY.

AS FAR AS THE REST OF TODAY...MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES WITH THE LOWEST
HUMIDITY FOUND ACROSS WESTERN AND CENTRAL AREAS. HIGHER DEWPOINTS
HOLDING STRONG ACROSS A GOOD PORTION OF THE EASTERN PLAINS.
MARGINALLY LOW HUMIDITY WILL BE FOUND IN THE BREEZY AREAS OF THE
NORTHEAST HIGHLANDS AND NORTHEAST PLAINS BUT NOT ENOUGH TO WARRANT A
SHORT DURATION RED FLAG WARNING. HAINES STILL LOOKS TO BE ON THE
LOWER SIDE.

HUMIDITY RECOVERIES WILL TREND LOWER OVERALL TONIGHT AS TEMPERATURES
WARM AHEAD OF A TROUGH. ABOVE NORMAL READINGS BETWEEN 5 TO 15
DEGREES EXPECTED. WINDS WILL ALSO INCREASE OVER THE HIGHER RIDGETOPS
AND THIS IS INDICATED IN THE GRIDDED FORECAST.

SUNDAY STILL LOOKS TO BE A CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER DAY. ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES BETWEEN 5 TO 20 DEGREES...HAINES 5 TO 6 VALUES AND
PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES SHOULD DOMINATE. FAR WESTERN AREAS LOOK
TO BE A LITTLE MORE STABLE BASED ON THE TIMING OF THE TROUGH PASSAGE
BUT HUMIDITY VALUES WILL BE LOW THERE. HUMIDITY VALUES WILL BE
LOWEST ACROSS THE LOWLANDS...ESPECIALLY RIO GRANDE VALLEY AND
EASTERN PLAINS. THE FAR EASTERN PLAINS AND RIO GRANDE VALLEY WILL
TAKE A LITTLE LONGER TO MIX THE INITIAL HIGHER DEWPOINTS OUT BUT
WHEN IT DOES READINGS WILL GO DOWN QUICKLY. SINGLE DIGITS EXPECTED
ACROSS THE LOWLANDS. STRONG WIND EXPECTED AREAWIDE...ESPECIALLY AS
THE AFTERNOON PROGRESSES. STRONGEST WIND ENVELOPE ALOFT MOVES OVER
THE AREA DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY NORTHWEST HALF.
SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL ALSO BE TIGHTENING AS THE DAY
PROGRESSES. AROUND A 994 MB LOW PROJECTED BY THE MODELS OVER EAST
CENTRAL COLORADO. THIS WOULD BE A FAVORED POSITION FOR A STRONG WIND
EVENT OVER NM. MODELS STILL SHOW SOME HIGHER CIRRUS MOVING OVERHEAD
DURING THE DAY...IR SATELLITE IMAGERY CURRENTLY VERIFIES THAT OVER
THE WESTERN TIER OF US. SUSPECT THIS CIRRUS WILL IMPACT MIXING
INITIALLY BUT WILL THEN AS THE AFTERNOON PROGRESSES. MIXING HEIGHTS
PROJECTED TO BE WELL ABOVE NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. THE EVENT
IS A CLASSIC BREAK DOWN OF THE UPPER RIDGE...ALTHOUGH THE UPPER
RIDGE IS A SHORTWAVE RIDGE.

GFS AND NAM MODEL STILL ARE AT ODDS WITH THEIR DEPICTION OF THE
STRENGTH OF THE WINDS ALOFT SUNDAY NIGHT. IF THE GFS WERE TO
VERIFY...SIGNIFICANT DOWNSLOPE WINDS WOULD IMPACT THE EAST SLOPES OF
THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS EASTWARD. THIS WOULD BE A LOCALIZED EFFECT AND
BE ERRATIC AT TIMES IN TERMS OF DURATION. ADJUSTED WIND GRIDS
SLIGHTLY AND DID LOWER SPEEDS AND SHRUNK AREAS AFFECTED. EITHER
WAY...IF A FIRE WERE TO BREAK OUT ALONG THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS...
STRONG DOWNSLOPE WINDS WOULD NEED TO BE ACCOUNTED FOR. HUMIDITY
RECOVERIES WILL ALSO BE POOR ACROSS EASTERN AND CENTRAL AREAS.
LOWERED DEWPOINTS BELOW GUIDANCE ACROSS THE NORTHEAST HALF JUST IN
CASE THE GFS IS RIGHT ABOUT THE STRONG WINDS ALOFT AND STRENGTHENING
MID LEVEL DRY INTRUSION.

VERY DRY AIRMASS WILL BE IN PLACE ON MONDAY. LOTS OF SINGLE DIGIT
READINGS. FUSSED WITH WINDS A LITTLE BIT. HAVE SOME BREEZIER
CONDITIONS ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST HALF AS WELL AS ALONG AND TO THE
EAST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS. NOT ENOUGH CRITICAL AREA TO WARRANT A
WATCH BUT NEED TO STRESS HAINES 5 VALUES AND VERY LOW HUMIDITY.
TEMPS COOL SOME ON MONDAY AS THE PARENT WAVE MOVES OVER THE GREAT PLAINS.

CONFIDENCE IS PRETTY HIGH FOR ANOTHER WIDESPREAD CRITICAL FIRE
WEATHER EVENT ON TUESDAY. SOME HIGHER RECOVERIES SHOULD PRECEDE IT
ACROSS THE NORTHEAST DUE TO A WIND SHIFT DURING THE EARLY MORNING
HOURS BUT OTHER AREAS WILL SEE RESIDUAL EFFECTS FROM THE DRY AIRMASS
ON MONDAY. ANOTHER ROUND OF SINGLE DIGITS ACROSS THE LOWLANDS OF THE
RIO GRANDE VALLEY AND EASTERN PLAINS. TEMPERATURES LOOK TO BE A FEW
DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL WITH HAINES 5 AND SOME 6 VALUES. DID I MENTION
THE STRONG WINDS...

A DEEPER TROUGH IS STILL EXPECTED TO AFFECT THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. GFS REMAINS BULLISH WITH PRECIPITATION
CHANCES AND COOLER TEMPS/HIGHER RH. ECMWF HAS MAINTAINED ITS
GLANCING BLOW SOLUTION. THUS NOT AS COOL OR MOIST. WILL NEED TO
MONITOR THIS CLOSELY BECAUSE THE ECMWF SOLUTION WOULD MEAN MORE WIND
ALTHOUGH SUSPECT RH VALUES WOULD RISE REGARDLESS.

50

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF CYCLE
HIGH CLOUDS WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE DURING THE NEXT 24 HRS AND NOT
EXPECTING ANYTHING LESS THAN VFR CONDITIONS. GUSTS BETWEEN 30 TO
35 KT WILL IMPACT LVS AND PORTIONS OF THE NORTHEAST AND EAST
CENTRAL PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL LOWER THIS EVENING.
INCREASED WINDS FOR SUNDAY AND HAVE INDICATED THE FIRST JUMP IN
WIND SPEEDS DURING THE MORNING HOURS ON SUNDAY. STRONGER VALUES
WILL BE OBSERVED DURING THE AFTERNOON.

DUE TO STRONG WINDS AND LOW HUMIDITY.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY

A RED FLAG WARNING IS NOW IN EFFECT FROM MIDDAY SUNDAY THROUGH SUNDAY
EVENING FOR ALL OF NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NEW MEXICO WHERE LOW
HUMIDITIES COMBINED WITH STRONG WINDS WILL CREATE CRITICAL FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS. IN ADDITION...STRONG GUSTS AS HIGH AS 45 TO 55
MPH WILL CREATE AREAS OF REDUCED VISIBILITY IN BLOWING DUST. FOR THE
MOST PART...THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL LIKELY OCCUR TO THE LEE OF THE
MORE SIGNIFICANT MOUNTAIN RANGES.

ANOTHER ROUND OF STRONG WINDS AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP
TUESDAY WITH MORE CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AND BLOWING DUST POSSIBLE.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED TODAY.
