AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
1023 PM MST WED NOV 4 2015

.AVIATION...
06Z TAF CYCLE
A BAND OF SNOW STRETCHING OVER EASTERN AZ WILL CONTINUE ADVANCING
EAST INTO WESTERN NM THRU THE OVERNIGHT. THE MAIN IMPACT SITE WILL
BE KGUP WHERE IFR OR LOWER CIGS/VSBYS ARE LIKELY BETWEEN 06Z AND
10Z. KFMN ALSO LIKELY TO SEE -SHSN OVERNIGHT BUT MAIN THREAT IS
MVFR. THIS AREA OF SNOW AND LOWER CIGS WILL MOVE EAST AND TAPER
OFF THRU 16Z WHILE APPROACHING THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY. WINDS WILL
BE THE MAIN PLAYER TOMORROW WITH WEST WINDS RAMPING UP QUICKLY IN
THE MORNING. ALL AREAS TO CLEAR WITH LIGHTER WIND BY SUNSET.

.PREV DISCUSSION...254 PM MST WED NOV 4 2015...
.SYNOPSIS...
AN ABRUPT WEATHER CHANGE IS COMING TO NEW MEXICO AS A STORM SYSTEM
CURRENTLY OVER ARIZONA MOVES THOUGH AND BRINGS MUCH COLDER AIR
WITH IT. SNOW LEVELS WILL DROP OVERNIGHT AND SEVERAL WESTERN AND
NORTHERN LOWER ELEVATION LOCALES WILL SEE THEIR FIRST SNOWFALL OF
THE SEASON. IN THE WESTERN AND NORTHERN MOUNTAINS...SEVERAL INCHES
OF SNOW ARE FORECAST OVERNIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY. HIGH TEMPERATURES
TOMORROW WILL BE COLDER...BUT WILL FEEL NOTICEABLY COLDER THANKS
TO BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. FRIDAY
MORNING WILL BE COLD AND WELL BELOW FREEZING AT A NUMBER OF
CENTRAL AND NORTHERN NEW MEXICO LOCALES. A REINFORCING COLD FRONT
WILL PUSH THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT AND ALLOW BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES
TO PERSIST THROUGH THE WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES WILL RETURN TO
NORMAL EARLY NEXT WEEK PRIOR TO THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM AND
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
12Z UPPER AIR DATA INDICATES THE UPPER LOW OVER SOUTHERN NEVADA
AND A SHORTWAVE TROUGH OVER SOCAL AND THE NORTHERN BAJA ROTATING
AROUND THE BASE OF THE TROUGH. THIS TROUGH REPRESENTS THE COLDEST
UPPER AIR FEATURE AT THESE LATITUDES SO FAR THIS SEASON...WITH
-27C AT 500MB AND -12 AT 700MB. THIS COLDER AIR WILL COME THROUGH
NEW MEXICO EARLY TOMORROW AS THE UPPER LOW OPENS UP AND THE TROUGH
ACCELERATES EASTWARD. EXPECT SNOW LEVELS TO LOWER SIGNIFICANTLY
OVERNIGHT TO INCLUDE MOST CENTRAL AND WESTERN LOWER ELEVATION
LOCALES...SOME OF WHICH WILL RECEIVE THEIR FIRST SNOWFALL OF THE
SEASON. EXPANDED THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY TO INCLUDE THE WEST
CENTRAL PLATEAU...NORTHWEST HIGHLANDS AND WEST CENTRAL
MOUNTAINS...MAINLY DUE TO POTENTIAL TRAVEL IMPACTS AS SNOW
AMOUNTS AREN'T EXPECTED TO BE SIGNIFICANT BELOW 8000 FEET OR SO.
IN PARTICULAR...TRAVEL ALONG I-40 AND US-550 NEAR THE CONTINENTAL
DIVIDE MAY BE ADVERSELY IMPACTED OVERNIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY
MORNING. THE FOOTHILLS OF SANTA FE MAY SEE UP TO AN INCH THURSDAY
MORNING AND ALBUQUERQUE MAY SEE FLURRIES...HOWEVER...ADVISORIES
ARE NOT ANTICIPATED FOR THE METROS DUE TO BOTH A LACK OF SNOW
ACCUMULATION AND IMPACTS. STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION THURSDAY WILL
RESULT IN WELL BELOW NORMAL HIGHS CENTRAL AND WEST...BUT ONLY
SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL EASTERN PLAINS WHERE STRONG DOWNSLOPE WINDS
WILL NEGATE SOME OF THE COLD AIR ADVECTION. THURSDAY NIGHT LOOKS
TO BE THE COLDEST OF THE NEXT SEVEN. FREEZE WARNINGS WILL LIKELY
BE REQUIRED FOR THE ABQ/SAF METROS AND SOME OF OUR EASTERN ZONES
THAT HAVE YET TO EXPERIENCE A HARD FREEZE.

LOOK FOR A NICE WARM-UP FRIDAY UNDER SUNNY SKIES...ONLY TO GET
KNOCKED BACK DOWN BY A REINFORCING COLD FRONT FRIDAY NIGHT.
DAYTIME TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN BELOW NORMAL THROUGH THE
WEEKEND...BUT BOUNCE BACK UP TO NEAR NORMAL EARLY NEXT WEEK IN
ADVANCE OF THE NEXT WEST COAST TROUGH. 12Z MEDIUM RANGE MODEL
SOLUTIONS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE MAIN UPPER AIR FEATURES
THROUGH 12Z TUESDAY...THEN DEPART WITH THE EVOLUTION/PROGRESSION
OF THE WEST COAST TROUGH. THE GFS WOULD BRING MAINLY WIND IMPACTS
TO OUR AREA TUE/WED WITH THE TROUGH PASSING TO THE NORTH...
WHEREAS THE ECMWF BRINGS THE TROUGH AND UPPER LOW DIRECTLY
OVERHEAD ON WEDNESDAY WITH A ROUND OF RAIN AND SNOW. LOWER
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE BEYOND MONDAY FOR NOW.

11

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
ACCUMULATING SNOW IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN...COLDER AND WINDY...AND
THE FIRST FREEZING TEMPS THIS SEASON IN A FEW AREAS ARE THE MAIN
TOPICS THROUGH FRIDAY/SATURDAY. CURRENTLY SHOWERS AND A FEW STORMS
ARE SPREADING QUICKLY NORTHEAST OVER THE STATE AND BRINGING LINEAR
FOOTPRINTS OF WETTING RAINFALL. COLD ADVECTION IS NOW STARTING TO
LOWER SNOW LEVELS FROM WEST TO EAST. A FEW TO SEVERAL INCHES OF
SNOW ARE LIKELY THROUGH THURSDAY WITH THE FAVORED AREAS ALONG THE
SW SLOPES OF THE SAN JUANS. WHILE NOT SIGNIFICANT...THESE MINOR
EVENTS CONTINUE ADDING VALUABLE SNOWPACK ABOVE 9000 FEET.

COLD ADVECTION WILL STRENGTHEN BEHIND THE DEPARTING LOW THURSDAY
AFTERNOON. MAX TEMPS WILL AVERAGE 10 TO 15F BELOW NORMAL WITH VERY
CHILLY WEST WINDS. VERY DRY AIR MOVING IN THURSDAY NIGHT WILL SET
THE STAGE FOR THE FIRST FREEZE IN THE MIDDLE AND LOWER RIO GRANDE
VALLEY AS WELL AS MOST OF THE EASTERN PLAINS. TEMPS WILL REMAIN
COOL INTO FRIDAY WITH HIGHS 5 TO 10F BELOW NORMAL...LEADING TO A
REINFORCING FREEZE FRIDAY NIGHT.

A WEAK RIDGE DEVELOPING THROUGH THE WEEKEND WILL DETERIORATE VENT
RATES TO POOR MOST AREAS FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. HAINES WILL ALSO
REMAIN LOW THROUGH THE PERIOD. A SLOW WARMING AND DRYING TREND WILL
TREND MIN RH VALUES THROUGH THE 30 TO 40PCT RANGE WHILE RECOVERIES
REMAIN VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT THROUGH THE WEEKEND. STRONGER WINDS
ALOFT DEVELOPING OVER THE STATE NEXT WEEK WILL HELP IMPROVE VENT
RATES...CONTINUE TO WARM TEMPS BACK NEAR TO ABOVE NORMAL...AND
LOWER MIN RH VALUES BACK TO NEAR 20-30 PCT EACH AFTERNOON.
