The radar

The Cannon AFB radar (KFDX), 77 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 22:00 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this flash flood warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

The nearest sounding before it

Amarillo Airport, TX (KAMA), launched 12:00Z, 10.0 hours before the alert went out and 190 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

Temperature in red, dew point in green, the mixed-layer parcel dashed.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 14, 3:52 PM MDT, 9 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
352 PM MDT SUN JUN 14 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
THUNDERSTORMS WILL MARCH SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS
THIS EVENING WITH SOME CELLS POTENTIALLY TURNING SEVERE CLOSER TO
THE TEXAS BORDER. A MOIST BACK DOOR COLD FRONT WILL DIVE THROUGH
EASTERN NEW MEXICO MONDAY MORNING AND INTO CENTRAL NEW MEXICO
DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON...SETTING THE STAGE FOR SCATTERED TO
NUMEROUS STORMS FAVORING THE EAST SLOPES OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN
CHAIN AND THE EAST SLOPES OF THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS. A MONSOON LIKE
MOISTURE PLUME WILL CROSS THE AREA FROM SOUTH TO NORTH TUESDAY
KEEPING THUNDERSTORMS ACTIVE MAINLY OVER CENTRAL AREAS. THE MID TO
LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK WILL BRING DRIER AND HOT WEATHER AS A
RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVERHEAD FROM THE WEST AND HIGH
TEMPERATURES GRADUALLY CLIMB SEVERAL DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
THE BACK DOOR FRONT AIDED BY GUSTY THUNDERSTORM OUTFLOW WINDS MAY
PRODUCE A GUSTY E CANYON WIND IN THE IN THE MIDDLE AND LOWER RIO
GRANDE VALLEY MONDAY EVENING. ONCE THIS BOUNDARY REACHES THE EAST
SLOPES OF THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS...THAT AREA WILL BECOME A
SECONDARY FOCUS FOR STORMS COMPARED TO THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN
AND ADJACENT HIGHLANDS/HIGH PLAINS. THE HEAVIER RAIN AMOUNTS
SHOULD FAVOR THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN AND ADJACENT PLAINS WHERE
MANY LOCATIONS SHOULD ACCUMULATE A QUARTER TO A HALF INCH.

A MOIST SOUTHEASTERLY RETURN FLOW UNDER SOME ELEVATED MOISTURE
STREAMING NORTHWARD FROM MEXICO SHOULD SET TUESDAY UP FOR ANOTHER
DAY OF FAIRLY WIDESPREAD AND WET CONVECTION. MODELS CURRENTLY
FAVOR THE EAST SLOPES OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN WESTWARD TO
THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE FOR SCATTERED TO PERHAPS ISOLATED ACTIVITY.

AN UPPER TROUGH EXITING THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN ROCKIES LATE
TUESDAY WILL USHER IN DRIER WESTERLY FLOW ON WEDNESDAY. THEN...THE
AFOREMENTIONED RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL DRY OUT THE ATMOSPHERE
AND TURN UP THE HEAT FOR LATER IN THE WEEK.

44

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
NO SIGNIFICANT FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS EXPECTED THROUGH THE FORECAST
PERIOD...AS WINDS WILL BE WELL UNDER CRITICAL VALUES EVEN THOUGH
MINIMUM RH VALUES WILL DROP TO OR EVEN A LITTLE BELOW THE 15 PERCENT
CRITICAL THRESHOLD ACROSS MOST IF NOT ALL OF THE WEST HALF OF THE
FCST AREA BY WED LINGERING INTO AT LEAST SAT.

CONSIDERABLY FEWER SHOWERS AND STORMS ACROSS THE WEST HALF SO FAR
THIS AFTN COMPARED TO SAT AFTN WITH A SCATTERED CROP OF
STORMS...SOME QUITE STRONG AND A FEW EVEN SEVERE ACROSS THE EAST
HALF. SOME DRYING AND SUBSIDENCE HAS OCCURRED THERE THIS AFTN...BUT
MAJORITY THERE SHOULD STILL PRODUCE PRECIP REACHING THE GROUND...
THOUGH NOT ALL TO BE WETTING RAIN PRODUCERS. THIS TREND SHOULD
CONTINUE INTO THE EVE WITH SIMILAR DIMINISHING TRENDS OVERNIGHT AS
WAS THE CASE SAT. EXPECT GOOD TO EXCELLENT RH RECOVERY TONIGHT INTO
MONDAY MORNING FOR ALL OF THE FORECAST AREA...WEAKEST RECOVERY
ACROSS THE FAR WEST AND MID TO LOWER RIO GRANDE VALLEY.

ON MON A SURFACE FRONT WILL BACK INTO THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE
STATE...ADVANCING SOUTHWESTWARD THROUGH THE DAY AND EVE. THE FRONT
SHOULD SPILL INTO THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY BY LATER MON AFTN OR EVE
BEFORE NEARING THE DIVIDE IF NOT THE AZ STATE LINE LATER MON NIGHT.
THIS WILL SPREAD SLIGHTLY TO MODERATELY HIGHER DEWPOINTS INTO
NM...ULTIMATELY RECHARGING SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL BOTH
MON AND TUE. STORMS MON AFTN WILL FOCUS ALONG AND EAST OF THE
CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN IN AN UNSTABLE UPSLOPE FLOW...AND BY TUE THE
BEST CHANCE OF STORMS WILL FAVOR AREAS BETWEEN THE CONTINENTAL
DIVIDE AND THE CENTRAL AND NE HIGHLANDS. SOME LOCALLY STRONG WIND
GUSTS ARE EXPECTED WEST OF GAPS/CANYONS IN THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN
CHAIN INTO THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY MON EVE AND OVERNIGHT. OTHERWISE
ANY WIND CONCERNS WILL BE LIMITED TO LOCALIZED THUNDERSTORM
OUTFLOWS.

DRYING TREND STILL STRONGLY DEPICTED IN THE WED THROUGH SAT PERIOD
AS MODELS GENERALLY AGREE THAT EASTERN PACIFIC HIGH BUILDS TOWARD
NM. THIS WOULD LEAD TO LESS COVERAGE OF STORMS AND AN UPWARD TREND
IN TEMPERATURES. ANOTHER BACK DOOR FRONT MAY ARRIVE BY NEXT
SUN...BRING SOME LOW LVL MOISTURE RECHARGE FOR ADDITIONAL STORMS
THAT WOULD LIKELY FAVOR THE EASTERN ZONES...PARTICULARLY THE
NORTHEASTERN ONES.

.AVIATION...
06Z TAF CYCLE
SHRA AND TSRA DEVELOPING AS OF THIS PRODUCT ISSUANCE FROM SANGRE
DE CRISTOS ON EAST AS WELL AS IN SOUTHERN LINCOLN COUNTY.
ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT LIKELY ACROSS REST OF NORTHERN MTS AS WELL
AS THE REST OF THE CENTRAL MT CHAIN ON EAST. STRONG TO SEVERE TSRA
FAIRLY LIKELY ACROSS MOST OF THIS AREA...MAINLY BETWEEN 1930Z AND
03Z...WITH HAIL...GUSTS BETWEEN 35 AND 55 KTS...FREQUENT LIGHTNING
AND TORRENTIAL RAIN. TCC AND LVS LIKELY TO BE IMPACTED THE
EARLIEST...SAF A BIT LATER. ABQ AND AEG LESS LIKELY TO BE
IMPACTED...BUT STILL POSSIBLE...MAINLY AFTER 21Z. VSBY AND CIGS
WILL BE BRIEFLY LOWERED IN THE STRONGEST STORMS. GUP AND FMN
HAVE JUST SLIGHT CHANCES OF BEING IMPACTED AS DRIER AIR EASING IN
THERE. THE BULK OF STORM ACTIVITY SHOULD DISSIPATE PRIOR TO
MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. BETWEEN 09Z AND 16Z MON THERE IS SOME POTENTIAL
FOR EITHER PATCHY MVFR TO IFR CIGS OR VSBY EAST OF A LINE FROM
ROUGHLY RTN TO ROW.
