AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
1057 AM MST MON NOV 16 2015

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF CYCLE
STRONG COLD FRONT JUST MOVED THRU KSAF/KABQ AS OF THIS WRITING.
PRECIP SHOULD GRADUALLY CHANGE FROM RA TO SN OVER THE NEXT FEW
HOURS ACROSS THE CENTRAL VALLEYS. SN WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE
WEST...THOUGH RA MAY MIX IN AT KFMN. CIGS WILL CONTINUE TO WAFFLE
BETWEEN VFR AND IFR AS BANDS OF SHOWERS MOVE THRU. ALSO A FEW TS
ARE NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. MT OBSCURATIONS LIKELY. FRONT WILL
CONTINUE TO BLAST EASTWARD THIS AFTN. SOUTHWEST WINDS AHEAD OF THE
FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO VEER TO THE WEST. GUSTS NEAR 30-35KT LIKELY
ALONG/WEST OF THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY...WHERE GUSTS NEAR 45-50KT
LIKELY ALONG/EAST OF THE CENTRAL MTN CHAIN. PRECIP WILL CONTINUE
ACROSS NORTHERN NM THRU THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...BUT MOST TAF SITES
WILL START TO CLEAR OUT EARLY TUE MORNING.

.PREV DISCUSSION...1049 AM MST MON NOV 16 2015...
.UPDATE...
RAISED TEMPS IN THE E AND LOWERED IN THE W BASED ON CURRENT AND
RECENT OBS. MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO THE PRECIP GRIDS. DID ADD IN
THUNDER FOR MUCH OF THE E. ZONES OUT AROUND 18Z. CHJ

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...431 AM MST MON NOV 16 2015...
.SYNOPSIS...
MAJOR WINTRY STORM WILL BRING HEAVY SNOW ACCUMULATIONS TO MOST OF
THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS TODAY INTO EARLY TUESDAY AND MAINLY TUESDAY
ACROSS THE FAR NORTHEAST PLAINS...THE LATTER BEING MAINLY NEARER
THE COLORADO LINE. THE GREATEST SNOW TOTALS LOOK TO BE ABOVE 8000
FEET. WHILE SNOW LEVELS WILL INITIALLY BE NEAR AND ESPECIALLY
ABOVE 7000 FEET VERY EARLY THIS MORNING OUT WEST AND NEAR OR ABOVE
8500 FEET ALONG THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN...THEY WILL DROP TO THE
SURFACE NEARLY EVERYWHERE FROM THE CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST HIGHLANDS
WESTWARD TO THE ARIZONA STATE LINE BETWEEN MIDDAY AND EARLY
EVENING...EARLIEST ACROSS THE NORTHWEST. SHOWERS AND PERHAPS AN
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM OR TWO WILL PRECEDE THE SNOW AT THE LOWER
ELEVATIONS. VERY WINDY CONDITIONS CAN ALSO BE EXPECTED TODAY INTO
AT LEAST PART OF THIS EVENING ACROSS PRIMARILY THE SOUTHEAST HALF
OF THE STATE...THEN LATER TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY CONFINED MORE TO
THE HIGHER TERRAIN...THE CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS
JUST EAST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN AND THE FAR NORTHEAST
PLAINS. MIDWEEK THROUGH END OF THE WEEK LOOKS QUIET AND DRY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
A NUMBER OF AWIPS SOFTWARE GLITCHES AND A VERY ACTIVE WEATHER
PATTERN HAVE COMBINED TO MAKE THIS AND SEVERAL OTHER PUBLIC DESK
PRODUCTS SIGNIFICANTLY LATER THAN IS THE NORM...SO WILL BE
HITTING THE HIGHLIGHTS ONLY. MAJOR STORM IS JUST BEGINNING TO
IMPACT THE FAR WESTERN PORTION OF NM...BUT WITH THE ATTENDANT
PACIFIC COLD FRONT STILL A LITTLE WAYS WEST OF AZ NM STATE LINE
AND THE CLOSED CIRCULATION OF THE STORM EVEN FARTHER WEST...SNOW
LEVELS HAVE NOT QUITE BEGUN THE TAKE THEIR ACCELERATED NOSEDIVE
JUST YET. THAT WILL OCCUR FROM WEST TO EAST STARTING NEAR OR A BIT
AFTER 6 OR 7 AM MST. FCST...ESPEC FOR SNOW ACCUM AND THE WINTER WX
ADVISORIES ACROSS THE WEST HALF...MADE MORE DIFFICULT WITH THE
RAPIDLY FALLING SNOW LVLS TODAY. DECIDED FOR NOW TO KEEP THE
ADVISORIES AND WARNINGS COVERAGE AND TIMING AS IS...THOUGH START
TIMES WERE LIKELY A FEW TO SEVERAL HOURS TOO EARLY...ESPEC FOR
LOWER TERRAIN. HAVE SERIOUS DOUBTS THAT THERE WILL BE SIGNIFICANT
ROAD IMPACTS IN THE EASTERN AND SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE ADVISORY
AREA BELOW ABOUT 7500 FEET...LARGELY BECAUSE OF TIME OF DAY THE
BEST SNOW ACCUM POTENTIAL WILL OCCUR THERE. MAY EVEN HAVE SOME
TROUBLE ACCUMULATING MUCH AT ALL DUE TO WHAT LIKELY WILL BE THE
EXPECTED POST FRONTAL SHOWERY NATURE OF THE SNOW. BUT WITH THIS
BEING THE FIRST WIDESPREAD LOWER TERRAIN LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOW
POTENTIAL WE HAVE SEEN THIS SEASON...AT LEAST THIS
WIDESPREAD...FIGURED IT BEST TO KEEP ALL THE ADVISORY AREA GOING
FOR THIS PACKAGE. ALSO FELT STRONGLY THE NEED TO ADD A WINTER
STORM WATCH FOR UNION COUNTY FOR VERY LATE TONIGHT THROUGH THE DAY
TUE AS WRAP AROUND SNOW AND STRONG MAYBE VERY STRONG WINDS COULD
CREATE NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS FOR A FEW HOURS ALONG AND NORTH OF
THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF NORTHERN UNION COUNTY. SOUTHERN AREAS WILL
MOSTLY JUST HAVE THE WIND. INCREASED SNOW AMOUNTS TO SOME DEGREE
ACROSS NORTHERN MTNS...MORE SO TODAY THAN BEYOND....AND ALSO
ACROSS NORTHERN COLFAX AND UNION COUNTIES.

MUCH QUIETER PATTERN AFTER TUE AND INTO THE END OF THE WEEK...BUT
MODELS...ESPEC SO THE GFS...INDICATE A HEALTHY BACK DOOR FRONT
COMING IN FOR THE WEEKEND. NO OR NOT MUCH PRECIP IS EXPECTED WITH
OR BEHIND IT.

43

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR UNSETTLED/COOL/BREEZY/WINDY
WEATHER DURING THE NEXT 48 HRS.

WETTING PRECIPITATION AND MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES WILL FILTER INTO
THE FORECAST AREA TODAY/TONIGHT WITH RESIDUAL IMPACTS ON TUESDAY. A
PACIFIC COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE AREA AND USHER THE COOLER
WEATHER. PRECIPITATION WILL FAVOR THE MOUNTAIN AREAS...ESPECIALLY
THE NC MOUNTAINS. SNOW LEVELS WILL DROP ACCORDINGLY. THIS IS A
PARTICULARLY COLD SYSTEM ALOFT SO IT WONT TAKE MUCH TO CHANGE THE
RAIN TO SNOW. STICKING SNOW COULD BE ANOTHER MATTER. EITHER
WAY...WILL MAKE FOR A MESSY SITUATION WITH HIGH RH VALUES. WIND WILL
BE THE OTHER SIGNIFICANCE TO THE SYSTEM PASSAGE. STRONG WSW WIND
TODAY FOLLOWED BY STRONG NW WIND TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY. VENTILATION
RATES WILL RESPOND BY BEING QUITE HIGH.

THE NW WIND GRADIENT WILL WEAKEN SOME ON WEDNESDAY AS DRIER AIR
FILTERS IN ALTHOUGH WILL STILL BE BREEZY TO LOCALLY WINDY IN AREAS.
VENT RATES WILL LOWER BUT REMAIN HIGHER IN AREAS.

THE WIND GRADIENT WILL WEAKEN EVEN MORE ON THURSDAY AND VENT RATES
SHOULD LARGELY BE POOR. MODELS SHOW A RATHER STRONG MID LEVEL DRY
SLOT MOVING OVER THE AREA. DIDNT ADJUST SFC DEWPOINTS LOWER THOUGH.
SUSPECT THE GROUND WILL BE RATHER MOIST AFTER THIS EVENT. AT LEAST
IN MOST AREAS. WILL MONITOR THAT TREND.

THE WEATHER MODELS KEEP A DRIER/ZONAL WEATHER PATTERN OVER THE AREA
FRIDAY. THUS CONTINUED LOW VENT RATES. BOTH THE ECMWF/GFS SHOW A
RATHER VIGOROUS BUT DRIER BACK DOOR COLD FRONT FOR THE PLAINS FRIDAY
NIGHT INTO SATURDAY.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF NORTH AND CENTRAL
NEW MEXICO.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT
AS A WINTRY STORM SYSTEM CROSSES THE STATE TODAY AND TONIGHT HEAVY
SNOW AND STRONG TO PERHAPS EVEN LOCALLY DAMAGING WINDS WILL IMPACT
MUCH OF NORTH AND CENTRAL NEW MEXICO. LOCALLY AS MUCH AS 14
INCHES OF SNOW MAY ACCUMULATE ACROSS THE HIGHEST PEAKS OF THE
NORTHERN MOUNTAINS...THOUGH THE MOST WIDESPREAD ACCUMULATIONS WILL
BE SEVERAL INCHES LESS. BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW WILL GREATLY
REDUCE VISIBILITIES AT TIMES AND CREATE VERY HAZARDOUS TRAVEL
CONDITIONS. LIGHTER SNOWS OF A FEW TO SEVERAL INCHES CAN BE
EXPECTED WEST OF THE MID AND LOWER RIO GRANDE VALLEY AND THE
LOWER TERRAIN OF NORTHERN NEW MEXICO.

HIGH WINDS RANGING FROM 25 TO NEARLY 45 MPH WITH GUSTS AS HIGH AS
60 MPH CAN BE EXPECTED ACROSS MUCH OF THE HIGHER TERRAIN AND

TONIGHT.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY

MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW AND VERY STRONG WINDS OF 25 TO 40 MPH WITH
GUSTS BETWEEN 50 AND 60 MPH CAN BE EXPECTED STARTING EARLY TUESDAY
AND FOR MUCH OF THE DAY ACROSS PORTIONS OF UNION AND COLFAX
COUNTIES. SIGNIFICANT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS HOWEVER SHOULD BE
CONFINED MAINLY TO WITHIN 20 TO 30 MILES OF THE COLORADO STATE
LINE. CONSIDERABLE BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW AND PERHAPS A FEW
PERIODS OF NEAR WHITEOUT CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE NEAR THE
COLORADO LINE.

WEATHER CAN CHANGE VERY RAPIDLY. ALWAYS USE THE LATEST FORECASTS...
WATCHES AND WARNINGS FOR PLANNING PURPOSES.
