.DISCUSSION...
VERY ACTIVE WEATHER CURRENTLY ACROSS THE REGION WITH MOIST AND
UNSTABLE CONDITIONS NOW FOCUSING OVER EAST CENTRAL AND SE AREAS.
SVR STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT TIL 9PM THIS EVENING. FOR THE
WEST...STORMS HAVE MERGED INTO A MORE STABLE AREA OF RAIN WITH A
FEW EMBEDDED STORMS. SOME HEAVY RAIN HAS BEEN NOTED IN THE ANIMAS
RIVER BASIN TODAY SO WILL HAVE TO MONITOR LEVELS NEAR CEDAR HILL
AND FARMINGTON TONIGHT.

OTHERWISE...DID NOT HAVE AN APPROPRIATE AMOUNT OF TIME TO MAKE
ANY REAL CHANGES TO FORECAST PACKAGE BEYOND TONIGHT. IT STILL
APPEARS A RIDGE WILL DEVELOP EASTWARD FROM ARIZONA BY MID WEEK
NEXT WEEK AND BRING THE FIRST ROUND OF REALLY HOT TEMPS TO CENTRAL

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
MOIST AIRMASS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS MOST OF THE FCST AREA INTO AT
LEAST SUNDAY OR MONDAY...THOUGH SOME DRYING MAY GET UNDERWAY
ACROSS THE WEST...AT LEAST ENOUGH TO LESSEN STORM DEVELOPMENT SOME
TO THE WEST OF THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY. AT LEAST SCATTERED SHOWERS
AND STORMS...SOME VERY STRONG IF NOT SEVERE AND FAVORING THE
AFTERNOON THROUGH NIGHTTIME PERIOD...WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE EAST
THIRD TO HALF OF THE STATE INTO AT LEAST TUE BEFORE BECOMING LESS
WIDESPREAD. WITH MANY SPOTS RECEIVING WETTING RAINFALL INTO THIS
EVE...VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT RH RECOVERY WILL BE ON HAND OVERNIGHT
AND INTO SUNDAY MORNING. TEMPERATURES WILL INCH A BIT CLOSER TO
AVERAGE SUN AND DECENT VENTILATION RATES WILL PREVAIL MOST ZONES.

BETWEEN MON AND MON NIGHT A BACK DOOR COLD FRONT WILL DROP INTO THE
EASTERN PLAINS OF NM...RECHARGING LOWER LAYER MOISTURE. THE FRONT
MAY REACH THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY BY OR BEFORE DUSK AND PERHAPS MAKE
IT TO THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE OVERNIGHT MON NIGHT...THOUGH FCST
MODELS ARE IN SOME DISAGREEMENT ON THE SPEED OF THIS FRONT. THIS
COULD ALSO BRING AN UPTICK IN STORM COVERAGE IN CENTRAL ZONES LATE
MONDAY AFTERNOON OR NIGHT WITH ACTIVITY MUCH LESS NUMEROUS TOWARD
AND ESPECIALLY WEST OF THE DIVIDE. FORECAST MODELS STILL PROJECTING
A DAY BY DAY DRYING TREND THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF NEXT WEEK WITH
VERY FEW STORMS EXPECTED BY THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK. 43

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF CYCLE
SHRA AND TSRA HAVE DEVELOPED QUICKLY AND EARLY ACROSS THE NW THIRD
OF NM AND THE STRONGER TSRA WILL GENERATE RELATIVELY SHORT
DURATION MVFR CIGS AND PERHAPS VSBY...AS WELL AS OCCASIONAL MT
OBSCURATIONS. GUP...SAF AND LVS ARE MOST FAVORED TO SEE THESE
CONDITIONS ANYTIME FROM ISSUANCE TIME OF THIS PRODUCT THROUGH
14/01Z WITH DIMINISHING CHANCES THEREAFTER. ABQ...AEG AND FMN TO
SEE STILL SIGNIFICANT BUT SLIGHTLY LOWER CHANCES OF SAME. FARTHER
EAST NEW TSRA DEVELOPMENT EXPECTED FIRST ACROSS EAST SLOPES OF
CENTRAL MT CHAIN AND EAST TO WESTERN REACHES OF THE EASTERN
