AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
333 PM MDT SAT MAY 10 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND TRAILING DISTURBANCE WILL BRING A
FEW TO SEVERAL INCHES OF ACCUMULATING SNOW TO THE VICINITY OF THE
NORTHERN MOUNTAINS SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY. AHEAD OF THE
SYSTEM SOUTHWEST WIND GUSTS FROM 50 TO 60 MPH AND BLOWING DUST ARE
EXPECTED ON MOTHERS DAY AS THE POLAR JET STREAM MOVES OVERHEAD.
STRONG WINDS WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE PLAINS BEHIND A BACK DOOR
COLD FRONT SUNDAY NIGHT. A LATE SEASON FREEZE IS EXPECTED SUNDAY
NIGHT...MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY NIGHT FOR LOCATIONS ABOVE 5400
FEET AND MAINLY NORTH OF INTERSTATE 40.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
A BROAD AND POTENT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL SAG SOUTHEASTWARD
TOWARD THE FOUR CORNERS TONIGHT AND SUNDAY...BEFORE EJECTING EAST
NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS CO. MODELS ARE AGREEING BETTER NOW ON A
SECONDARY UPPER TROUGH THAT WILL DIG QUICKLY SOUTHWARD OVER
CENTRAL NM ON THE HEELS OF THE FIRST SYSTEM LATE MONDAY THROUGH
TUESDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL STILL BE TOO WARM FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOW
UNTIL SUNDAY NIGHT WHEN A STOUT PACIFIC COLD FRONT WILL DIVE
SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE STATE AS A BACK DOOR COLD FRONT DIVES
SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE PLAINS. THEN A FEW INCHES OF SNOW SHOULD
FALL IN THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS EACH PERIOD INTO TUESDAY. THE MOST
SIGNIFICANT PERIOD OF SNOWFALL MAY BE WITH THE SECONDARY TROUGH
MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING...WHEN COLD AIR WILL BE IN PLACE
WITH EASTERLY UPSLOPE FLOW. LOWER ELEVATIONS SURROUNDING THE
NORTHERN MOUNTAINS MAY EVEN ACCUMULATE 1 TO 2 INCHES OF SNOW
MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING. COLD TEMPERATURES WITH THE
SYSTEM SHOULD PRODUCE A LATE SEASON FREEZE AS FAR SOUTH AS
GALLUP...SANTA FE...MORIARTY...ROY AND GRENVILLE SUNDAY...MONDAY
AND TUESDAY NIGHTS.

SOUTHEAST OF THE FIRST UPPER LOW...THE POLAR JET STREAM WILL MOVE
OVER SOUTHERN AND EASTERN AREAS WITH LAYER 500 TO 700 MB WINDS
PEAKING IN THE 45 TO 55 KT RANGE ON MOTHERS DAY. AMPLE SPRINGTIME
MIXING SHOULD ENABLE MUCH OF THIS MOMENTUM TO MIX DOWN TO THE
SURFACE...WHERE GUSTS AROUND 50 MPH WILL BE COMMON. GUSTS TO 60
MPH ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL MOUNTAINS
AND HIGHLANDS...SOUTHWEST MOUNTAINS AND NORTHEAST HIGHLANDS...WITH
THE STRONGEST WINDS DURING THE AFTERNOON UNTIL SUNSET. SUNDAY
NIGHT...THE BACK DOOR COLD FRONT WILL BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF
STRONG NORTH WINDS TO THE EASTERN PLAINS WITH GUSTS POTENTIALLY IN
THE 50 TO 60 MPH RANGE AGAIN. SIGNIFICANT BLOWING DUST IS EXPECTED
WITH THE WINDS ON MOTHERS DAY AND THAT NIGHT ON THE PLAINS.

DRIER WEATHER IS EXPECTED THROUGH MID WEEK WITH WARMING
TEMPERATURES WEDNESDAY THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK WEEK. A COUPLE
OF OTHER SYSTEMS COULD BRING ADDITIONAL PRECIPITATION...ONE TO THE
NORTHERN MOUNTAINS AND NORTHEAST AREAS THURSDAY...AND THE OTHER
ALONG AND EAST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY.

.FIRE WEATHER...
...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS EAST CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST
PLAINS REMAINDER OF TODAY AND SUNDAY...

ONE MORE DAY OF CRITICAL FIRE CONDITIONS BEFORE MUCH COOLER AND MORE
MOIST CONDITIONS DEVELOP THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT WEEK. CURRENTLY RED
FLAG CONDITIONS ARE VERIFYING OVER MUCH OF THE EASTERN PLAINS. WINDS
ARE STARTING TO MIX IN THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY AND A COUPLE HOURS OF
CRITICAL CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE BEFORE SUNSET FROM ABQ SOUTH TO LOS
LUNAS...BELEN...AND SOCORRO. TONIGHT WILL REMAIN BREEZY JUST ABOUT
EVERYWHERE. RECOVERIES WILL RANGE FROM POOR FOR ALL OF EASTERN NM TO
GOOD FOR CENTRAL/WESTERN AREAS.

WINDS ON SUNDAY WILL COME UP RAPIDLY AFTER 9 OR 10AM AND RED FLAG
CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY EARLY FOR THE EAST. UPGRADING WATCH TO WARNING.
CRITICAL TO POTENTIALLY EXTREME FIRE CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR
MUCH OF THE PLAINS. MEANWHILE FOR THE WEST A POTENT PACIFIC FRONT
WILL RACE SOUTHEAST BY LATE IN THE DAY AND TEMPS WILL PLUMMET BELOW
NORMAL. THE BACK-DOOR PORTION OF THE FRONT WILL SLAM SOUTH ACROSS
THE PLAINS SUNDAY EVENING. BLOWING DUST WILL BE PROBLEMATIC BEHIND
THIS FRONT. HUMIDITIES WILL TREND DRAMATICALLY HIGHER SUNDAY NIGHT
WITH WELL BELOW NORMAL TEMPS AND HIGHER MID AND UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE
ARRIVING FOR THE NORTH. AN INCH OR 2 OF SNOW IS POSSIBLE FOR THE
NORTHERN HIGH TERRAIN.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY WILL BE 15 TO 25F BLW NORMAL WITH SUBSTANTIALLY
HIGHER HUMIDITY. A SECONDARY PIECE OF ENERGY WILL ROTATE SOUTH ON
THE BACK SIDE OF THE FIRST STORM SYSTEM AND INCREASE THE POTENTIAL
FOR SNOW OVER MUCH OF THE NORTH MONDAY NIGHT. SEVERAL INCHES ARE
POSSIBLE ABOVE 7500 FEET WITH LIGHT AMOUNTS OF SNOW ACCUMULATION
EVEN IN THE SANTA FE AND TAOS AREAS...AS WELL AS RATON...LAS VEGAS
AND EVEN CLAYTON. GAP WINDS ARE POSSIBLE MONDAY NIGHT INTO THE RIO
GRANDE VALLEY...THUS USHERING IN EVEN BETTER MOISTURE. VENT RATES
WILL LIKELY DETERIORATE SOME AS WELL THRU WEDNESDAY. BELOW NORMAL
TEMP CONDITIONS ARE TRENDING NOW EVEN INTO PERHAPS THURSDAY.

GUIDANCE IS NOW SHOWING ANOTHER POTENTIAL COOL AND MOIST SYSTEM FOR
AT LEAST THE FAR NORTH AND EAST FRIDAY AND/OR SATURDAY OF NEXT WEEK.
THIS WILL CONTINUE TO DELAY THE FIRE SEASON FOR NOW.

GUYER

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF CYCLE
DEEPENING SURFACE LOW PRESSURE OVER THE PLAINS AND AN APPROACHING
STORM SYSTEM ALOFT WILL CRANK WINDS UP THE NEXT 24 TO 48 HRS. IN
THE NEAR-TERM THE STRONGEST WINDS THIS AFTERNOON WILL FOCUS AROUND
GALLUP...LAS VEGAS...AND TUCUMCARI WHERE GUSTS BTWN 35 AND 40 KTS
ARE LIKELY FROM 22Z TO 01Z. KABQ MAY APPROACH THE 35 KT MARK BY
LATE AFTERNOON BUT CONFIDENCE ON AN AWW SCENARIO IS VERY LOW AT
THIS TIME. PATCHY BLDU IS POSSIBLE FOR KTCC AND KGUP BUT DID NOT
INCLUDE IN TAF. WINDS WILL TAPER OFF AFT SUNSET BUT REMAIN BREEZY
THRU MUCH OF THE NIGHT ACROSS THE PLAINS AND WESTERN NM. WINDS
WILL MAJORLY RAMP UP EARLY SUNDAY WITH AN OVERALL CHALLENGING DAY
FOR AVIATION.
