.PREV DISCUSSION...303 PM MDT FRI OCT 2 2015...
.SYNOPSIS...
BIG WEATHER CHANGES ARE ON THE WAY. THREE FACTORS ARE INVOLVED
WITH THESE CHANGES. THE FIRST IS A STORM SYSTEM LIFTING NE FROM
THE GREAT BASIN. IT HAS DRAWN LOW AND HIGH LEVEL MOISTURE INTO
NM. THUNDERSTORMS WILL ERUPT OVER THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL
MOUNTAINS THIS AFTERNOON AND MOVE ACROSS THE EC AND NE PLAINS THIS
EVENING. A FEW OF THE STORMS COULD TURN SEVERE. THE SECOND WEATHER
MAKER WILL BE IN THE FORM OF AN UNUSUALLY DEEP LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
THAT STRENGTHENS OVER CA THIS WEEKEND BEFORE MOVING SLOWLY EAST
EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE THIRD WEATHER FACTOR WILL BE IN THE FORM OF
SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE FROM THE REMNANTS OF MARTY. ALL OF THESE WILL
COMBINE TO BRING AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF UNSETTLED AND COOLER
WEATHER TO NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NEW MEXICO WELL INTO NEXT WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
GOOD WIND SHEAR AND DEEP MOISTURE OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE
FORECAST AREA WILL TRIGGER THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THE REST OF
THIS PM INTO TONIGHT. POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR SOME OF THE STORMS TO
TURN SEVERE WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. WHILE THE STORMS
WILL BE MOVING RATHER QUICKLY...BACKWARD PROPAGATING STORM
DEVELOPMENT COULD RESULT IN TRAINING OF STORMS WITH REPEATED HEAVY
RAIN OVER THE SAME AREAS. THUS LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING WILL BE
ANOTHER CONCERN TONIGHT.

THE STORM OVER THE GREAT BASIN WILL LIFT NE TONIGHT AND SATURDAY
WHILE THE NEXT UPSTREAM STORM RAPIDLY STRENGTHENS OVER CA THIS
WEEKEND. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO DRAW MOIST AIR NORTH INTO NM WITH
MORE SHOWERS AND STORMS THIS WEEKEND THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF
NEXT WEEK. SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE FROM THE REMNANTS OF MARTY WILL
ALSO IMPACT THE AREA LATE IN THE WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE
THREAT FOR FLASH FLOODING WILL INCREASE EACH DAY AS THE SATURATED
GROUND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ABSORB ALL THE WATER.

PRECIPITATION WILL FAVOR THE EASTERN HALF OF THE STATE THIS
WEEKEND THEN SHIFT TO THE WESTERN HALF EARLY NEXT WEEK. THEN
BEST CHANCES WILL PROBABLY RETURN TO THE EAST IN THE MID TO LATE
WEEK PERIOD. MODELS IN REMARKABLY GOOD AGREEMENT ON THIS SCENARIO
THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THEN THE EUROPEAN CONTINUES TO BE SLOWER WITH
THE DEEP UPPER LOW MOVING AWAY FROM NM. THE GFS IS FASTER...BUT
HAS SLOWED DOWN SOME FROM PREVIOUS RUNS.

ALONG WITH THE PRECIPITATION WILL BE A NOTICEABLE CHANGE TO COOLER
TEMPERATURES WITH NEAR TO BELOW NORMAL HIGHS MOST DAYS THROUGH THE
NEXT WEEK.

MAIN STORY HERE IS AFTER RELATIVELY DRY CONDITIONS DURING THE PAST
WEEK AND EXCEPTIONALLY WARM TEMPERATURES MOST OF SEPTEMBER...A
CHANGE TO WETTER AND COOLER WEATHER IS ON THE WAY.

CHJ

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
A STRONG MID LEVEL DRY SLOT HAS BROUGHT STRONGER WINDS AND LOWER
DEWPOINTS TO WESTERN NEW MEXICO...CREATING SPOTTY RED FLAG
CONDITIONS. SEE NO REASON TO END THE RED FLAG WARNING EARLY...SO
IT WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT TIL 7PM TONIGHT. AHEAD OF THAT MID LEVEL
DRY SLOT...ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS
THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS...WITH ADDITIONAL AND STRONGER STORMS
EXPECTED INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY
RAINS MAINLY OVER THE SANGRES AS FLOW WILL ALLOW FOR SOME BACKWARD
PROPAGATING STORMS. CONVECTION WILL ALTER FORECASTED WIND
SPEEDS/DIRECTIONS...ESPECIALLY WITH THE POTENTIAL OF OUTFLOW WINDS
PUSHING EAST THROUGH THE GAPS OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS SATURDAY
MORNING. NOT FORECASTING IT NOW...BUT SOMETHING TO WATCH.

AS THE MAIN UPPER LEVEL LOW MOVES NORTHEAST SATURDAY...A TRAILING
LOBE OF ENERGY WILL KEEP CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY GOING ALONG AND EAST OF
THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS. THE TREND WILL BE FOR COOLER
TEMPERATURES...HIGHER MIN/MAX HUMIDITIES...AND WEAKER SURFACE WINDS.
VENTILATION RATES WILL BE PROBLEMATIC ACROSS THE NORTHEAST HIGHLANDS
WITH A WIDE AREA OF POOR VENT RATES. AGAIN...CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW
WINDS COULD ALTER FORECASTED WIND SPEEDS/DIRECTIONS COME SUNDAY
MORNING...NOTABLY THROUGH THE GAPS OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS.  IT
WILL ALSO IMPACT THE WESTWARD PUSH OF HIGHER DEWPOINTS.

THE FOCUS WILL SHIFT TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN ABNORMALLY DEEP UPPER
LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OFF THE CALIFORNIA COAST SUNDAY INTO EARLY
NEXT WEEK. IT IS EXPECTED THAT DEEP SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF THIS
SYSTEM WILL DRAW SIGNIFICANT MOISTURE NORTHWARD OVER NEW MEXICO AND
CREATE MULTIPLE DAYS OF POTENTIALLY HEAVY RAINS. STORMS SHOULD FOCUS
ALONG AND WEST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS SUNDAY...ACROSS WESTERN AND
NORTHERN NM MONDAY...AND MUCH OF WESTERN AND CENTRAL NM TUESDAY.
WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO START SEEING LOCALIZED FLOODING ISSUES BY
THE THIRD DAY OF RAIN. TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO TREND DOWN
THROUGH MONDAY...BECOMING BELOW NORMAL EVERYWHERE...BEFORE A SLIGHT
REBOUND TUESDAY. HUMIDITIES WILL INCREASE AS WELL...WITH EXCELLENT
OVERNIGHT RECOVERIES ACROSS THE AREA BY MONDAY NIGHT. MUCH OF
EASTERN NM WILL SEE POOR VENTILATION RATES SUNDAY BEFORE BECOMING
GOOD ON MONDAY LIKE THE REST OF THE AREA.  SPOTTIER FAIR TO POOR
CONDITIONS WILL REDEVELOP TUESDAY...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN
MOUNTAINS.

MODELS ARE COMING INTO BETTER AGREEMENT THAT THIS DEEP UPPER LEVEL
LOW WILL BE VERY SLOW IN ITS PROGRESSION EAST. THE RESULT IS THE
CENTER OF THE LOW REACHING THE SW PART OF THE STATE WEDNESDAY BEFORE
GENERALLY TRACKING SE INTO THURSDAY.  THIS WILL SHIFT THE
PRECIPITATION FOCUS TO EASTERN NM WHILE TEMPERATURES REMAIN NEAR TO
BELOW NORMAL. THERE IS POTENTIAL THAT THE LOW LINGERS TO OUR SOUTH
INTO THE WEEKEND...WHICH WOULD KEEP PRECIPITATION IN THE
FORECAST...BUT THE OVERALL TREND CALLS FOR GRADUAL DRYING AS WE GO
INTO NEXT WEEKEND.
