.PREV DISCUSSION...246 PM MDT TUE MAY 6 2014...
.SYNOPSIS...
THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM APPROACHING NEW MEXICO FROM THE WEST WILL
DELIVER ANOTHER PUNCH OF SPRING WINDS AND BLOWING DUST WEDNESDAY.
WIDESPREAD DANGEROUS FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL ACCOMPANY THE WIND
AS CONDITIONS ARE EXTREMELY DRY OVER THE AREA. THE WELL ABOVE NORMAL
HIGH TEMPERATURES OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS WILL COOL BACK TO BELOW
NORMAL FOR THE WEST WEDNESDAY...THEN ALL AREAS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.
A FEW LOCATIONS ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN HIGH TERRAIN ALSO
HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR A COUPLE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BOTH
DAYS. TEMPERATURES WILL REBOUND AGAIN BACK NEAR TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE
NORMAL FOR THE WEEKEND WITH WIDESPREAD BREEZY CONDITIONS EXPECTED.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
MSAS ANALYSIS SHOWED SURFACE LOW PRESSURE DEEPENED TO 994MB AT 19Z
OVER SE COLORADO AND THE 19Z RAP INDICATES THIS WILL CONTINUE TO
989MB BY 00Z. MEANWHILE UPPER LEVEL WINDS ARE INCREASING OVER THE
REGION AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING H5 UPPER LOW OVER EAST CENTRAL NV.
SURFACE OBS AT KLVS HAVE BEEN NEAR OR JUST ABOVE WIND ADVISORY A
COUPLE TIMES BUT SINCE ISOLD IN NATURE WILL NOT ISSUE HIGHLIGHTS.
MORE SIGNIFICANT WINDS WILL ARRIVE WEDNESDAY AS THE CORE OF A
40-50KT 700-500MB JET SLIDES OVER CENTRAL/EASTERN NM. WILL PASS
ALONG WIND ADVISORY HIGHLIGHTS TO OVERNIGHT CREW.

ON THE QPF SIDE OF THINGS THERE ISNT MUCH TO GET EXCITED ABOUT. WPC
PROBABILISTIC QPF VALUES FOR 0.10 OR MORE DO SHOW VALUES AROUND 30
PCT OVER SW FACING SLOPES OF THE NW MTS WEDNESDAY. GFS/NAM LIFTED
INDICES ARE NEAR -2C FOR TMRW AFTERNOON SO THUNDER POTENTIAL STILL
EXISTS. RAISED POPS INTO THE 40 AND 50 PCT RANGE BUT AMOUNTS WILL
BE VERY LIGHT. ALSO TOSSED IN DUST FOR THE NW PLATEAU. MAX TEMPS
WILL TREND COLDER OVER THE WEST THEN 5 TO 15F BLW NORMAL FOR ALL
AREAS THURSDAY. IT WILL FEEL QUITE COOL THURSDAY WITH WIDESPREAD
BREEZY CONDITIONS AND ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS/ISOLD STORMS NEAR
AND EAST OF HIGH TERRAIN. AGAIN QPF WILL BE VERY LIGHT.

FLOW WILL RELAX SLIGHTLY AND BECOME MORE ZONAL WITH WARM ADVECTION
THRU THE WEEKEND. GENERALLY CLEAR SKIES ARE EXPECTED MOST AREAS WITH
THE EXCEPTION OF HIGH CLOUDS OVER THE NORTH. 700MB TEMPS WILL WARM
TO NEAR +12C WHICH IS NEAR THE 75 PERCENTILE FOR MID MAY. THAT WILL
TRANSLATE TO HIGHS 5 TO 15F ABV NORMAL AGAIN. MODEL CONSISTENCY AND
OUTLOOK FOR NEXT WEEK IS ALMOST COMICAL SO WILL LEAVE THAT FOR LATER.

.FIRE WEATHER...
WIDESPREAD RED FLAG CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MID EVENING.
HAVE UPGRADED ZONES 103 AND 107 TO A RED FLAG WARNING FOR WEDNESDAY
LATE MORNING TO EARLY EVENING. WILL LEAVE ZONE 106 AS A WATCH AND
LET THE STELLAR NIGHT CREW TAKE ONE MORE LOOK.

CHANGE IN THE WEATHER IS ON THE WAY WITH COOLER TEMPERATURES AND
EVENTUALLY LESS WIND...THANKS TO A POTENT COLD FRONT TOMORROW AND
UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE. ONLY MODEST PRECIPITATION CHANCES ACROSS
THE NORTH IN THE WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY TIME PERIOD.

WIDESPREAD CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE THROUGH
MID EVENING FOR MUCH OF NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NEW MEXICO. WINDS
TO SUBSIDE DURING THE NIGHT ASIDE FROM MODERATE BREEZES OVER THE
MOUNTAINS AND EAST SLOPES. WINDS WILL INCREASE QUICKLY WEDNESDAY
AND BE THE STRONGEST WINDS OF THE WEEK. CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER WILL
BE EASILY REACHED OVER MOST CENTRAL AND ALL EASTERN AREAS. HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL BE LOWER EVERYWHERE...BUT STILL ABOVE NORMAL IN
THE FAR EAST. THIS WILL BE THE AREA WITH THE LOWEST RH VALUES WITH
SINGLE DIGIT READINGS FOR ABOUT 10 HOURS. HAINES VALUES TO BE HIGH
TO MODERATE. AREAS TO THE WEST ARE MORE IN THE GREY AREA AS TO HOW
TO TREAT THE CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS. WHILE WINDS WILL BE
VERY STRONG AND HUMIDITIES BELOW 15 PERCENT FOR MANY HOURS...THE
TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR TO BELOW NORMAL IN ZONES 103 AND 107.
WITH HAINES VALUES STILL PARTLY IN THE HIGH CATEGORY IN ZONES 103
AND 10 WILL GO AHEAD AND UPGRADE THESE ZONES TO A RED FLAG WARNING
FOR WEDNESDAY. WILL LEAVE ZONE 106...MIDDLE RIO GRANDE VALLEY...AS
A WATCH. CERTAINLY WINDS AND HUMIDITIES WILL BE CRITICAL FOR SEVERAL
HOURS...BUT LOW TO MODERATE HAINES VALUES AND HIGHS SEVERAL DEGREES
BELOW NORMAL BRING A MIXED SIGNAL AS TO JUST HOW CRITICAL THIS AREA
WILL BE. AS MENTIONED ABOVE WILL LET NIGHT CREW MAKE THE CALL ON
ZONE 106. WILL NEED TO FACTOR IN HOW INCREDIBLY DRY IT HAS BEEN
LATELY AS WELL. AS FOR CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION...ONLY THE NORTHWEST
AND NORTH CENTRAL HIGHER TERRAIN COULD SEE A SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM
WEDNESDAY.

MUCH COOLER AIR WILL CONTINUE TO POUR INTO THE STATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT
AND THURSDAY. WINDS WILL ALSO FINALLY DIMINISH FOR MOST AREAS. IT
WILL STILL BE BREEZY ACROSS THE EAST CENTRAL AREAS. A FEW RAIN AND
MOUNTAIN SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE WEST AND NORTH
BUT NO WETTING PRECIPITATION.

FRIDAY SHOULD BE DRY AND MILDER WITH NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND
NOT MUCH WIND.

THE WEEKEND SHOULD BE MOSTLY DRY WITH THE WARMING TREND CONTINUING
SATURDAY AND LEVELING OFF ON SUNDAY. AN APPROACHING BACK DOOR COLD
FRONT COULD TRIGGER A SHOWER IN THE NORTHEAST AND OVER THE NORTHERN
MOUNTAINS LATE SUNDAY.

THE START OF NEXT WEEK WILL BE COOLER IN THE EAST. IT WILL BE DRY
ASIDE FROM A NORTHERN MOUNTAIN SHOWER. THE EUROPEAN MODEL IS MORE
BULLISH WITH A TROUGH AND THE PRECIPITATION POTENTIAL FOR EARLY NEXT
WEEK. THEN THE GFS GOES BONKERS WITH A STRONG BACK DOOR COLD FRONT
BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK AND SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION IN THE EAST
BEHIND THE FRONT. JUST WISHFUL THINKING AT THIS POINT.
