.AVIATION...
06Z TAF CYCLE
DRYLINE ACROSS WESTERN EDGE OF THE EASTERN PLAINS LIKELY TO BEGIN
A SLOW EASTWARD PROGRESSION AGAIN AFTER 08Z-10Z TIME RANGE...
PERHAPS JUST A BIT LATER. STILL A FEW SHRA/TSRA MAY DEVELOP MAINLY
FROM THE SANGRE DE CRISTOS ON EAST AND THE NW MTS ON WEST STARTING
SOMETIME BETWEEN 08Z AND 11Z. MT OBSCURATIONS POSS MAINLY NORTH
AND CENTRAL PORTION OF SANGRE DE CRISTOS IN AND NEAR CONVECTION.
CONFIDENCE STILL NOT HIGH ENOUGH FOR TEMPO GROUP AT TCC. STILL
SOME RISK FOR PATCHY IFR EVEN LOCALLY LIFR CIGS MAINLY NEAR AND
EAST OF A LINE FROM EAST SLOPES OF THE SANGRE DE CRISTOS TO SANTA
ROSA TO ROW...INCLUDING TCC AND POSS LVS AND ROW. ISOLATED TO SCT
-SHRA/-TSRA WITH GUSTY WINDS MAINLY NW HALF LATE MORN AND AFTN

.PREV DISCUSSION...912 PM MDT FRI MAY 8 2015...
.UPDATE...
TORNADO WATCH HAS EXPIRED. REMOVED SEVERE THREAT FROM THE NE ZONES.
LOWERED POPS SOME FOR MOST EASTERN ZONES.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...340 PM MDT FRI MAY 8 2015...
.SYNOPSIS...
ONCE AGAIN THE DRYLINE INVADED EAST CENTRAL NEW MEXICO LAST
NIGHT...WHILE A COLD FRONT HAS OVERTAKEN THE NORTHEASTERN QUADRANT
OF THE STATE. THE DRYLINE SEPARATES DRY AIR TO THE WEST AND
MOIST UNSTABLE AIR TO THE EAST...AND THE COLD FRONT IS SEPARATING
WARM AND DRY AIR TO THE SOUTHWEST FROM COOL MOIST AIR TO THE
NORTHEAST. THE FRONT HAS NOW OVERTAKEN THE DRYLINE...AND THIS
BOUNDARY WILL HELP TRIGGER SHOWERS AND STORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND
THIS EVENING...AND SOME STORMS MAY BECOME STRONG TO SEVERE IN THE
EASTERN TIER OF THE STATE. FARTHER WEST...A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS
DEPARTING CALIFORNIA...AND DRIFTING INTO ARIZONA. THIS HAS BROUGHT
BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS TO NEW MEXICO. THE WINDS ARE EXPECTED
TO STRENGTHEN INTO SATURDAY AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM SWEEPS OVER
THE FOUR CORNERS REGION AND INTO COLORADO. PRECIPITATION CHANCES
WILL ALSO INCREASE WITH THE PASSAGE OF THIS SYSTEM SATURDAY...AND
WILL LINGER INTO SUNDAY WITH THE NORTH CENTRAL TO NORTHWESTERN
SECTIONS OF NEW MEXICO REMAINING THE FAVORED AREAS.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
IT HAS BEEN A BUSY DAY CHASING THE FORECAST...AND FORECAST MODELS
CONTINUE TO INDICATE SIGNIFICANT DIFFICULTIES IN RESOLVING THE
PLACEMENT OF THE DRYLINE AND THE BACK DOOR FRONT INTO THE
NORTHEASTERN QUADRANT OF THE STATE. THESE TWO SURFACE BOUNDARIES
ARE CRITICAL IN THE SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL FOR THIS AFTERNOON
AND THIS EVENING...AND THUS HEFTY RAMIFICATIONS ARE IN STORE FROM
ANY MISPLACEMENT BY THE MODELS. CURRENTLY THE DRYLINE INTRUSION
HAS BECOME OVERSHADOWED BY THE BACK DOOR COLD FRONT WITH HEALTHY
DEWPOINTS IN THE 50S BEING STEADILY PUSHED INTO THE EAST CENTRAL
TO NORTHEASTERN ZONES ALONG WITH AN EASTERLY UPSLOPE COMPONENT.
NEAR AND ALONG THE EDGE OF THIS BOUNDARY SEEMS LIKE A FOCAL POINT
FOR CONVECTION TO BLOSSOM LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING.
TORNADO WATCHES 142 AND 144 REMAIN IN EFFECT OF THIS
WRITING...HOWEVER 142 WILL BE EXPIRING AT 4 PM MDT WITH AN
EXTENSION POSSIBLE. OTHERWISE THIS MORNING'S SHORT WAVE TROUGH
HAS EXITED INTO TX/OK...A SUBTLE DUDE THAT PACKED A VIGOROUS SLUG
OF LIFT AND FORCING FOR THE STORMS SHORTLY AFTER SUNRISE. WITH THE
UPPER LOW WORKING OVER SOUTHERN NV...THE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT
HAS INCREASED OVER NM...AND SOME OF THIS STRONGER MOMENTUM IS
MIXING DOWN TO THE SURFACE IN THE FORM OF BREEZY TO WINDY
CONDITIONS. PRECIPITATION HAS BEEN ISOLATED OR RATHER SCANT IN THE
NORTH CENTRAL TO NORTHWESTERN ZONES...AIDED BY SOME OROGRAPHICS.
EXPECT THIS AREA TO OBSERVE A SLIGHT EXPANSION IN PRECIPITATION
COVERAGE OVERNIGHT...EVEN WITH TEMPERATURE LAPSE RATES STABILIZING
AS THE ATMOSPHERE DECOUPLES.

HAVE BUILT IN SOME CLOUDY CONDITIONS INTO THE EASTERN TIER OF
COUNTIES FOR SATURDAY MORNING TO ACCOUNT FOR HIGHER BOUNDARY LAYER
MOISTURE THAT SHOULD STAY INTACT AND INCREASE WITH A MERGING OF
THE DRYLINE AND REMNANTS OF THE AFOREMENTIONED BACK DOOR FRONT.
THE LOW WILL QUICKLY CROSS THE FOUR CORNERS BEFORE NOON
SATURDAY WITH AN INCREASE IN PRECIPITATION COVERAGE OVER THE NORTH
CENTRAL TO NORTHWESTERN ZONES NOT ONLY DURING THE MORNING...BUT
ESPECIALLY AFTER NOON WHEN TEMPERATURE LAPSE RATES DESTABILIZE
AGAIN. DYNAMIC COOLING WILL ALSO ACCOMPANY THE PASSAGE OF THE LOW
AND ATTENDANT PACIFIC FRONT...AND WINDS WILL ALSO TURN NOTABLY
STRONGER THAN TODAY. WINDS WILL BE STRONGEST IN THE NORTHEAST
QUADRANT OF THE STATE...AND AN ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED FOR
THIS AREA SATURDAY. IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT SNOW LEVELS WILL
TAKE A BIG DIVE SATURDAY MORNING...BUT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ARE NOT
EXPECTED TO GAIN MUCH BEFORE THE LEVELS BEGIN RISING AGAIN DURING
THE DAYTIME SATURDAY. STILL...WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE 2 TO
5 INCHES ABOVE 9000 FEET BY SATURDAY EVENING.

UPPER LOW WILL RAPIDLY ESCAPE TO THE GREAT PLAINS BY SUNDAY
MORNING WHILE A TRAILING SHORT WAVE TROUGH DIVES SOUTHWARD ON THE
BACKSIDE OF IT. THIS WILL DRIVE ADDITIONAL PRECIPITATION INTO THE
NORTH CENTRAL TO NORTHWESTERN ZONES SUNDAY. WINDS WILL REMAIN
BRISK AND TURN MORE WEST NORTHWEST...BUT WILL TAKE A DRAMATIC
DOWNTICK IN SPEED. THE BACK DOOR FRONT THAT HAS BEEN ADVERTISED
FOR SUNDAY NIGHT APPEARS TO ARRIVE MUCH FASTER VIA THE NAM MODEL
SOLUTION. THIS SEEMS PLAUSIBLE...AND SOME PRECIPITATION COULD
BREAK OUT ALONG ITS LEADING EDGE NEAR AND EAST OF THE RATON RIDGE
SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THIS FRONT SHOULD HAVE FULLY INVADED
THE EASTERN PLAINS OF NM BY DAYBREAK MONDAY. PRECIPITATION WOULD
BE SCANT AND RELEGATED TO THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS MONDAY WHILE
WINDS SETTLE...BUT QUICKLY VEER EAST SOUTHEASTERLY IN THE PLAINS
OF THE STATE.

FORECAST MODELS CONTINUE TO BICKER AND DISAGREE ON THE UPPER LEVEL
FEATURES FOR THE REST OF NEXT WEEK. HOWEVER...THEY ARE IN
AGREEMENT OF AT LEAST SOME SEMBLANCE OF SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT
AND A MOIST SOUTHEAST RETURN FLOW AT THE SURFACE THROUGH MID WEEK.
THIS WOULD ADVECT COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF GULF MOISTURE INTO AT LEAST
EASTERN NEW MEXICO...BUT PERHAPS EVEN SOME CENTRAL TO WESTERN
PARTS. THIS SHOULD LEAD TO AN UPTICK IN STORM COVERAGE TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY AS THE SURFACE FLOW REGIME APPEARS TO BE PERSISTENT. THE
MOISTURE MAY EVEN LINGER THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK ACCORDING TO
THE GFS. ENHANCEMENTS TO STORM INITIATION AND COVERAGE MAY COME
FROM ANY PERTURBATIONS IN THE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT.

52

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT PUSHED FARTHER SOUTHWEST THAN MODELS
FORECAST THIS MORNING...RESULTING IN AN AREA OF HIGHER DEWPOINTS
ACROSS NE NM. THIS HAS TEMPERED THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE DRIER AIR
EAST...KEEPING HUMIDITY VALUES UP TODAY IN THE REGION. IT WILL
ALSO LEAD TO ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
ACROSS THE NE. SURFACE WINDS WILL PERSIST ENOUGH OUT OF THE EAST
TONIGHT IN THE NE TO BOOST HUMIDITY RECOVERIES AND FORM LOW CLOUDS
AND/OR FOG. ELSEWHERE...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL PROVIDE
SPOTTY WETTING PRECIP TO THE WESTERN AND NORTHERN HIGH TERRAIN
THIS EVENING.

THE UPPER LEVEL LOW CURRENTLY SITUATED OVER THE GREAT BASIN WILL
MOVE ALONG THE NM/CO BORDER SATURDAY...AND LIFT INTO THE CENTRAL
PLAINS BY SUNDAY. STRONG WINDS PLUS A SIGNIFICANT DRY SLOT OVER THE
EASTERN PLAINS WILL RESULT IN A FEW HOURS OF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER
SATURDAY AFTERNOON...BUT BELOW NORMAL TEMPS AND MARGINAL INSTABILITY
LIMIT THE OVERALL THREAT. ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
ONLY OFFER SPOTTY WETTING PRECIP CHANCES ACROSS THE NORTHWEST
SATURDAY AFTERNOON. A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT WILL COMBINE WITH A SECOND
PIECE OF UPPER LEVEL ENERGY TO INITIATE ANOTHER ROUND OF SPOTTY
WETTING STORMS OVER THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL HIGHER TERRAIN ON
SUNDAY. THE PIECE OF ENERGY WILL PRODUCE BREEZY WINDS IN THE
TYPICAL AREAS FAVORED WITHIN A NW FLOW REGIME. BELOW NORMAL TO
WELL BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THIS WEEKEND
PERIOD.

WEAK RIDGING MONDAY WILL CAUSE BRIEF DIP IN VENTILATION RATES.
SURFACE RETURN FLOW BEHIND THE BACKDOOR FRONT WILL BEGIN INCREASING
MOISTURE EAST TO WEST TOWARDS THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE. THIS WILL
PRIME THE AREA FOR MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE MID
WEEK PERIOD...WHICH MODELS DEPICT AS MULTIPLE DISTURBANCES CROSS NM
WITHIN  DEVELOPING SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. CONFIDENCE WEAKENS ON HOW
LONG THE SURFACE MOISTURE WILL STICK AROUND BEFORE THE SW FLOW
PUSHES IT EAST OF THE STATE...WITH THE GFS AND ECMWF SHOWING
DIFFERENT TIMING. THE GFS SHOWERS THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINING
IN TACT FOR MOST OF THE WEEK...THOUGH EVENTUALLY SHUNTED TO THE
EASTERN PLAINS. THE ECMWF BRINGS THE DRY AIR QUICKER...PUSHING THE
MOISTURE OUT BY THURSDAY. EITHER WAY...NO MAJOR FIRE WEATHER
CONCERNS ARE EXPECTED. VENT RATES WILL IMPROVE DURING THIS PERIOD
DUE TO STRONGER FLOW ALOFT...TEMPERATURES REMAIN NEAR TO BELOW
NORMAL.

.ABQ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NONE.
