The radar

The Holloman AFB radar (KHDX), 148 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 22:41 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 severe thunderstorm 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

Albuquerq/Krtlnd, NM (KABQ), launched 12:00Z, 10.7 hours before the alert went out and 241 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.

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Albuquerque, NM wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 5, 3:21 PM MDT, 1 hour 18 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 5, 3:21 PM MDT, 1 hour 18 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
321 PM MDT FRI JUN 5 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE LAND OF
ENCHANTMENT TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY. A FEW STRONG OR SEVERE
STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE BOTH TODAY AND SATURDAY ACROSS THE EASTERN
PLAINS. BY SUNDAY...DRIER AIR WILL START TO HAVE AN IMPACT ON
PRECIPITATION CHANCES...LIMITING THEM TO THE EASTERN PLAINS. A
PAIR OF BACK DOOR COLD FRONTS WILL MOVE INTO NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO
MONDAY AND TUESDAY...KEEPING PRECIPITATION CHANCES ELEVATED.
MEANWHILE THE REST OF THE AREA SHOULD SEE LESS CONVECTION. ANOTHER
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH SHIFTING OVER THE STATE MID WEEK SHOULD BRING
SOME MOISTURE REMNANTS FROM HURRICANE BLANCA INTO THE
STATE...INCREASE PRECIPITATION CHANCES ONCE AGAIN.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
ABUNDANT MOISTURE FROM FORMERLY HURCN ANDRES HAS MOVED INTO
WESTERN NM WITH PWATS APPROACHING 200 PERCENT OF NORMAL FOR EARLY
JUNE. ADDITIONALLY...GULF MOISTURE/DRYLINE HAD PUSHED BACK
WESTWARD TO THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN THIS MORNING. THE DRYLINE
HAS MIXED BACK EASTWARD SLIGHTLY...AND SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
ARE CURRENTLY DEVELOPING ALONG IT FROM NEAR RATON...TO LAS
VEGAS...TO RUIDOSO. CAPE VALUES ALONG AND EAST OF THE DRYLINE ARE
GENERALLY BETWEEN 1000 AND 2000 J/KG AND THERE ARE ENOUGH BREAKS
IN THE CLOUDS FOR SOME CONTINUED HEATING THIS AFTERNOON. A FEW
SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH LARGE HAIL BEING THE MAIN
THREAT. ACROSS THE WEST...SHOWERS AND A FEW EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS
CONTINUE...AND MAY MOVE INTO THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY EARLY THIS
EVENING.

BY SATURDAY...DRIER AIR WILL MOVE INTO SOUTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF
THE CWA...BUT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS
THE NORTH AND AREAS GENERALLY FROM THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY
EASTWARD. NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION THAT A FEW STRONG...OR PERHAPS
SEVERE... STORMS MAY DEVELOP ONCE AGAIN...BUT ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER
SHOULD LIMIT THE INSTABILITY A BIT AS HIGHER LEVEL MOISTURE FROM
HURRICANE BLANCA IS PULLED NORTHWARD.

DRIER AIR LOOKS TO INVADE THE STATE A BIT FURTHER ON SUNDAY...AND
MODELS ARE TRENDING DOWNWARD WITH PRECIPITATION CHANCES. THE
STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP...WILL FAVOR AREAS ALONG AND EASTWARD OF
THE CENTRAL MTN CHAIN. AGAIN...A FEW STRONG/SEVERE STORMS ARE
POSSIBLE.

THE REMNANTS OF HURRICANE BLANCA LOOK TO MOVE NORTHWARD INTO
ARIZONA AND SOCAL EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS
WESTWARD OVER NEW/OLD MEXICO. THUS...RAIN CHANCES LOOK TO BE
DIMINISHING OVER NM...AT LEAST THAT WERE IN ASSOCIATION WITH
BLANCAS REMNANTS. A BACK DOOR COLD FRONT ON MONDAY AND ANOTHER ON
TUESDAY SHOULD FAVOR STORM FORMATION ACROSS THE NE.

THE NEXT TROUGH LOOKS TO MOVE ACROSS THE DESERT SOUTHWEST MID
WEEK. AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM...SOME MOISTURE FROM BLANCA WILL REMAIN
PRESENT AND AS THE TROUGH SHIFTS EASTWARD INTO NM LATE WED AND
THURS...THAT MOISTURE COMBINED WITH LIFT AHEAD OF THE TROUGH
SHOULD ALLOW FOR AN INCREASE IN PRECIPITATION CHANCES ONCE AGAIN.

34

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO FLOW NORTHWARD OVER THE AREA DURING THE
NEXT 24 HRS. HUMIDITY VALUES WILL INCREASE AND TEMPS WILL COOL
BACK TO NEAR IF NOT SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL SATURDAY. WETTING RAIN
WILL BE COMMON.

A DRIER AIRMASS WILL BEGIN TO PUSH INTO WESTERN AREAS ON SUNDAY AND
LESSEN THE SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE. WETTING RAIN POTENTIAL
WILL BE MUCH LESS. TEMPERATURES SHOULD WARM SLIGHTLY AND REMAIN NEAR
NORMAL. TEEN HUMIDITY READINGS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE WESTERN
LOWLANDS. GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED DUE TO THE PACIFIC
TROUGH WASHING OUT OVER THE INTERIOR WEST.

A BACK DOOR COLD FRONT IS STILL PROJECTED TO IMPACT NE AREAS SUNDAY
NIGHT AND CONTINUE INTO MONDAY. WETTING RAIN WILL BE POSSIBLE. THE
NAM/GFS AND ECMWF MODELS SHOW THIS FEATURE AND HAVE BEEN SHOWING IT
FOR THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS THUS CONFIDENCE IS PRETTY DECENT.
OTHERWISE...THE DRIER AIR WILL ENTRAIN FURTHER EAST. COOLER THAN
NORMAL TEMPERATURES EXPECTED ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF WHILE NEAR
NORMAL TEMPS WOULD BE FOUND ACROSS THE WEST. RH LEVELS WOULD CLIMB
NEAR THE SURFACE ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA.

SOME OF HURRICANE BLANCAS MOISTURE WILL FLOW INTO THE AREA FROM THE
SOUTH NEXT WEEK. THE BIG QUESTION IS HOW MUCH AND WHEN. WESTERN
AREAS SHOULD SEE SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM CHANCES INCREASE AS THE WEEK
PROGRESSES. RIGHT NOW...THE FULL IMPACT DOESNT COME UNTIL THE LATTER
HALF OF THE WEEK BUT THE MODELS HAVE BEEN JUMPING AROUND A BIT.
EITHER WAY...NEXT WEEK DOESNT APPEAR TO BE CRITICAL IN TERMS OF LOW
HUMIDITY/STRONG WIND AND HIGH HAINES VALUES. MORE AFTERNOON CLOUD
COVER AND NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES. CONFIDENCE IS PRETTY HIGH FOR
THAT SCENARIO. THE WETTING SCENARIO AND WHERE IS A BIT MORE
UNCERTAIN.

50

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF CYCLE
ABUNDANT MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO FLOW NORTHWARD AHEAD OF A
PACIFIC LOW. SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SH/TS WILL DEVELOP AS THE DAY
PROGRESSES. IMPACTS ARE LIKELY AT ALL OF THE TERMINAL SITES. IT
DOESNT APPEAR MVFR CIGS/VIS WOULD OCCUR WITH THE ACTIVITY
ALTHOUGH CANT RULE IT OUT FOR A SHORT DURATION. OCCNL MTN TOP
OBSCD EXPECTED. GUSTY WINDS WOULD ALSO BE ASSOCIATED WITH SOME OF
THE ACTIVITY AND MOST LIKELY AT AEG/ABQ/SAF. SOME OF THE ACTIVITY
WILL LESSEN MID/LATE EVENING. THE BEST CHANCE OF OVERNIGHT
ACTIVITY WILL BE ACROSS THE FOUR CORNERS REGION.
