AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
305 PM MST MON NOV 9 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
A POTENT STORM SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL IMPACT THE
AREA BEGINNING TUESDAY AND CONTINUE INTO WEDNESDAY WITH STRONG
WINDS...MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES AND ACCUMULATING SNOW ACROSS THE
WEST CENTRAL AND NORTHERN MOUNTAINS. THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE
TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING ALONG THE EAST SLOPES OF
THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN AND ADJACENT HIGHLANDS...WHERE WIND
GUSTS TO BETWEEN 50 AND 60 MPH ARE LIKELY. THE SYSTEM WILL PULL
OUT WEDNESDAY AND SETUP WEDNESDAY NIGHT TO BE THE COLDEST SO FAR
THIS SEASON. TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE BELOW NORMAL THROUGH THE
END OF THE WEEK WITH BENIGN WEATHER...FOLLOWED BY A WARMING TREND
OVER THE WEEKEND.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
BIG CHANGES INSTORE FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY WITH A POTENT UPPER
LOW AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT IMPACTING THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES AND
NEW MEXICO.

TEMPERATURES HAVE SOARED ABOVE NORMAL TODAY UNDER SUNNY SKIES...UP
TO 15 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS WITH BREEZY
DOWNSLOPE CONDITIONS. A COLD FRONT WILL BEGIN TO IMPACT WESTERN
PORTIONS OF THE AREA TUESDAY...BUT THE EASTERN PLAINS WILL WARM A
FEW MORE DEGREES WITH STRONGER DOWNSLOPE WINDS. 12Z MODEL
SOLUTIONS SHOW THE COLD FRONT PUSHING FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS OUR
AREA LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...WITH THE UPPER LOW
TRACKING ACROSS SOUTHERN UT/CO. THE WEST CENTRAL AND NORTHERN
MOUNTAINS ARE STILL IN LINE FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW...BUT ALSO
BLOWING SNOW. FORECAST SNOW AMOUNTS WARRANT AN ADVISORY OVER THE
TUSAS MOUNTAINS/CHAMA ZONE...BUT BLOWING SNOW WILL CREATE
HAZARDOUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS AND WILL LIKELY REQUIRE ADVISORIES IN
A FEW OTHER NORTHERN FORECAST ZONES AS WELL. HIGH FORECASTER
CONFIDENCE IN WIND SPEEDS LATE TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...SO
UPGRADED THE WATCH TO A HIGH WIND WARNING AND PUT A NUMBER OF OUR
FORECAST ZONES UNDER A WIND ADVISORY. LEFT OUT THE RIO GRANDE
VALLEY...ALTHOUGH THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE VALLEY MAY HIT WIND
ADVISORY CRITERIA FOR AN HOUR OR TWO LATE TUESDAY WITH THE FROPA.
STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION BEHIND THE FRONT COMBINED WITH WINDY TO
VERY WINDY CONDITIONS WILL MAKE FOR A NOTICABLE CHILL TUESDAY
NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THE UPPER LOW WILL EJECT OUT INTO THE
CENTRAL U.S. PLAINS WEDNESDAY AND PULL FURTHER WAY FROM NEW
MEXICO...ALLOWING WINDS TO GRADUALLY RELAX GOING INTO WEDNESDAY
NIGHT. THIS COMBINED WITH CLEARING SKIES WILL SET THE STAGE FOR
THE COLDEST NIGHT OF THE SEASON SO FAR WITH A HARD FREEZE EXPECTED
ACROSS A MAJORITY OF THE CWFA.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WILL BE QUIET WEATHER-WISE...BUT A BACKDOOR
FRONT THURSDAY NIGHT WILL REINFORCE THE COLD AIRMASS AND CAUSE
BELOW NORMAL DAYTIME TEMPERATURES TO PERSIST THROUGH THE END OF
THE WORK-WEEK. A WEAK PACIFIC TROUGH/LOW WILL PUSH ACROSS LATE
SATURDAY INTO EARLY SUNDAY...PULLING MOISTURE NORTH OVER SOUTH
CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO. THE RESULT WILL BE INCREASING
CLOUDS AND A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR RAIN...BUT MUCH BETTER CHANCES
SOUTH AND EAST OF OUR AREA. DAYTIME TEMPERATURES WILL REBOUND
BACK ABOVE NORMAL BY SUNDAY WITH SHORTWAVE RIDGING OVER OUR AREA.

11

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
A DYNAMIC...WINDY...AND UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN WILL IMPACT NM
THROUGH WEDNESDAY AS A STOUT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM CONTINUES TO
ADVANCE OVER THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST. CURRENTLY THIS FEATURE IS
CENTERED OVER WA/OR WITH STRONG SOUTHWESTERLIES ALOFT BEGINNING TO
FEED INTO THE DESERT SOUTHWEST. THIS WILL INDUCE SOME GUSTY
CONDITIONS OVER RIDGE TOPS TONIGHT WITH WINDS INCREASING...MIXING
DOWN TO THE SURFACE...AND SPREADING ACROSS MOST NM ZONES INTO
TUESDAY.

TONIGHT'S OVERNIGHT HUMIDITY RECOVERIES WILL STILL BE GOOD TO
EXCELLENT...BUT HUMIDITY IS EXPECTED TO ABRUPTLY FALL TO AT LEAST
THE 14 TO 18 PERCENT RANGE BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON IN THE FAR NORTHEAST
HIGH PLAINS AS TEMPERATURES SOAR WELL ABOVE AVERAGE IN A DOWNSLOPING
REGIME. THIS WILL YIELD AT LEAST SOME LOCALLY CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS IN THE NORTHEAST TUESDAY AFTERNOON. THERE IS SOME
AMBIGUITY TO THE FUEL STATUS IN THE NORTHEASTERN GRASSLANDS.
CERTAINLY FUEL LOADING IS HIGH DUE TO ANOMALOUSLY HIGH PRECIPITATION
OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS...BUT A LATE ONSET TO FREEZING TEMPERATURES
THAT FINALLY OCCURRED LAST WEEK HAS LIKELY STUNTED THE CURING
PROCESS. SOIL MOISTURE DIAGNOSES FROM LAND INFO SYSTEMS SATELLITE
PRODUCTS ALSO DO NOT INDICATE OVERLY DESSICATED SOILS.
HOWEVER...THERE IS SOME POTENTIAL FOR DEWPOINTS TO DROP A FEW
DEGREES LOWER THAN WHAT IS CURRENTLY PROGGED BY COMPUTER MODELS AND
WHAT IS IN THIS AFTERNOON'S FORECAST PACKAGE. WILL OPT TO PLAY IT
SAFE AND GARNER SOME AWARENESS TO THE SITUATION BY HOISTING A FIRE
WX WATCH FOR FWZ104 IN NORTHEASTERN NM. AGAIN...LOW CONFIDENCE
EXISTS ON HOW DRY IT WILL ACTUALLY BE AND ALSO THE FUELS...BUT WINDS
WILL DEFINITELY BE CRITICAL WITH WIDESPREAD AREAS OF GUSTS TO 35 TO
50 MPH ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. CONTRARY TO THE WARM/DRY CONDITIONS
IN THE EAST...DYNAMIC COOLING ALOFT AND SOME SHOWERS WILL PRECLUDE
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS IN THE WESTERN ZONES TUESDAY.

WINDS WILL SCREAM THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY
MORNING...BUFFETING THE HIGHER PEAKS AND ADJACENT HIGHLANDS WITH
OCCASIONAL GUSTS OF 50 TO 60 MPH. THE COLDER AIR WILL SWEEP EASTWARD
THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING WITH WIND DIRECTIONS SHIFTING MORE
NORTHWESTERLY AS THE LOW TRACKS THROUGH CO/KS/NE. THE COOLER
TEMPERATURES WOULD SUPPRESS ANY CRITICAL FIRE WX CONCERNS WEDNESDAY.
ALSO OF NOTE...A FEW INCHES OF SNOWFALL CAN BE ANTICIPATED IN THE
NORTH CENTRAL TO NORTHWESTERN MOUNTAINS BETWEEN TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY.

A COOL...BUT MUCH MORE TRANQUIL AND DRY DAY IS IN STORE FOR
THURSDAY. VENTILATION RATES WOULD SUFFER FROM LOWER MIXING HEIGHTS.
BY FRIDAY AND INTO THE WEEKEND AN UPSTREAM TROUGH/LOW IS STILL
PROJECTED TO MOVE EASTWARD...CROSSING NM. THE EUROPEAN MODEL
INTRODUCES SOME PRECIPITATION TO THE SOUTHEAST QUADRANT OF NM...BUT
PROSPECTS FOR TRUE WETTING RAIN APPEAR LOW DUE TO THE WEAK NATURE OF
THIS FEATURE. ASIDE FROM SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS SATURDAY NIGHT/SUNDAY
IN THE FAR EAST CENTRAL PLAINS OF NM...DRY CONDITIONS ARE BUILT INTO
THE FORECAST WITH TEMPERATURES RETURNING TO NORMAL BY SUNDAY.

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF CYCLE
SOUTHWEST WINDS ALOFT WILL GRADUALLY STRENGTHEN TODAY THROUGH
TUESDAY AS AN UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM DROPS INTO THE GREAT
BASIN THEN BEGINS TO SHIFT EASTWARD. OCCASIONAL GUSTS TO 25 TO 35
KT WILL BE POSSIBLE TODAY...MOSTLY IN EAST CENTRAL NEW MEXICO.
WINDS WILL BE MUCH STRONGER ON TUESDAY. SCT TO ISOLD RAIN AND SNOW
SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP TUESDAY AFTERNOON ACROSS WESTERN AREAS AND
THE NORTHERN MTS. THE SNOW LEVEL MAY DROP AS LOW AS 7000 FT ACROSS
THE WESTERN AND NORTHERN PEAKS...WHERE SOME MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS
WILL BE POSSIBLE.
