.AVIATION...
18Z TAF CYCLE
SCT-BKN HIGH CLOUDS WILL BE THE RULE AGAIN TODAY. WIND GUSTS NEAR
30KT WITH BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE CENTRAL HIGHLANDS THIS
AFTN...INCLUDING AT KCQC. WINDS WILL INCREASE OVERNIGHT...
ESPECIALLY AFTER 05Z. WIND GUSTS NEAR 50KT...AND PERHAPS
HIGHER...WILL BE POSSIBLE ALONG AND JUST EAST OF THE SANGRE DE
CRISTO MOUNTAINS...ESPECIALLY IF MOUNTAIN WAVE ACTIVITY DEVELOPS.
STRONG WINDS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE TONIGHT ACROSS OTHER HIGH
TERRAIN AREAS...TO INCLUDE THE CHUSKA MTNS...WEST CENTRAL MTNS AND
SANDIA AND MANZANO MOUNTAINS.

34

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...403 AM MST THU DEC 10 2015...
.SYNOPSIS...
DESPITE PERIODS OF THICKER HIGH CLOUDS UNUSUALLY WARM TEMPERATURES
WILL AFFECT NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NEW MEXICO THROUGH FRIDAY. WIND
SPEEDS WILL INCREASE AHEAD OF A PACIFIC TROUGH AND STRONG TO VERY
STRONG READINGS WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER THE HIGH TERRAIN AND AREAS
TO THE EAST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY. WEATHER
WILL TURN MUCH COOLER AND UNSETTLED DURING THE WEEKEND INTO THE
EARLIER HALF OF NEXT WEEK. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ARE LIKELY ACROSS
THE MOUNTAINS AND NORTHEAST THIRD OF THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH
SATURDAY NIGHT. A COUPLE MORE PACIFIC STORM SYSTEMS WILL IMPACT
THE AREA MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS ARE SHAPING UP TO BE QUITE DYNAMIC AND
CHANGEABLE. THE UNUSUALLY WARM TEMPERATURES THROUGH FRIDAY WILL
DRAMATICALLY CHANGE DURING THE WEEKEND WITH COOLER WEATHER
CONTINUING INTO NEXT WEEK. A SERIES OF PACIFIC TROUGHS WILL IMPACT
THE FORECAST AREA.

STILL HANGING ON TO THE RECORD/NEAR RECORD TEMPS FOR THE NEXT
COUPLE OF DAYS. PATCHES OF THICKER CIRRUS CLOUDS WILL HAVE
SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT THAT ALTHOUGH EASTERN AREAS WILL BE UNDER
THE INFLUENCE OF DOWNSLOPE/COMPRESSIONAL HEATING WINDS. THE OTHER
SIGNIFICANT FORECAST CHALLENGE WILL BE WIND SPEEDS. MODELS SHOW
SIGNIFICANT MID AND BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW STRENGTHENING STARTING
LATE EVENING AND LASTING THROUGH FRIDAY. CLASSIC DOWNSLOPE WIND
EVENT FOR THE EAST SLOPES OF THE SANGRE DE CRISTOS AS A VERY
STRONG JET MAX DRIVES SOUTHWARD TOWARDS THE AREA. THE JET MAX IS
CURRENTLY ANALYZED TO BE AROUND 160 KNOTS OFF THE NORTHERN COAST
OF CALIFORNIA AND SHOULD LOWER TO 130/140 KNOTS BY THE TIME IT
REACHES NM ON FRIDAY. THE MID LEVEL WIND FLOW WILL BE ORTHOGONAL
TO THE SANGRES. THE 6Z NAM 12KM MODEL SHOWS 60 TO 70 KT WIND
SPEEDS BELOW THE STRONG STABLE LAYER FOUND ABOVE THE SANGRE
RIDGELINE. THE 6Z GFS 20KM MODEL SHOWS A 60 KT LAYER SPEED BELOW
THE STRONG INVERSION. LASTLY...THE LOCAL WRF MODELS MIMICS THE NAM
12KM BUT REFINES THE LOCATION OF THE 60 TO 70 KNOT WIND GRADIENT
BELOW AN EVEN STRONGER STABLE LAYER ABOVE THE HIGH MTN RIDGE.
ANY WAY YOU SLICE IT...A DAMAGING WIND PROFILE SHOWS UP FOR THE
HIGH MOUNTAIN RIDGES OF THE SANGRE DE CRISTOS AND ADJACENT EAST
SLOPES. THIS WOULD BE A PURE MTN WAVE/DOWNSLOPE EVENT THUS SOME
AREAS WILL SEE MUCH LIGHTER WIND WHILE OTHERS WOULD SEE SCREAMING
WIND. WILL ISSUE A HIGH WIND WATCH WITH THIS FORECAST PACKAGE.
SOME ADDITIONAL WIND ADVISORY AREAS WILL LIKELY BE ISSUED FOR
FRIDAY BY SUBSEQUENT SHIFTS.

THE NEXT FORECAST CHALLENGE WILL BE PRECIPITATION
AMOUNTS...PRIMARILY SNOW AMOUNTS...FOR THE LATER FRIDAY THROUGH
SATURDAY NIGHT PERIOD. INITIAL FRONTOGENETIC FORCING DYNAMICS WILL
ENHANCE SNOWFALL RATES ACROSS WESTERN/NORTHERN AREAS LATER FRIDAY
NIGHT INTO SATURDAY BUT THE FORCING WILL WEAKEN AS THE DAY
PROGRESSES. THIS EVENT WILL LARGELY BE DRIVEN BY STEEP LAPSE RATES
AND OROGRAPHIC FLOW ENHANCEMENT ALONG THE WESTERLY ASPECTS.
ESPECIALLY AS THE DENDRITIC GROWTH ZONE QUICKLY ENTERS THE AREA
LATE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. QPF NUMBERS...THUS SNOW AMOUNTS
LOOK TO BE MOST ENHANCED ACROSS THE NC MTNS FAVORING THE COLORADO
BORDER. CURRENTLY HAVE HEAVIER SNOW AMOUNTS ACROSS THOSE
LOCATIONS...INCLUDING THE NE HIGHLANDS WHERE CONVERGENCE FROM THE
SFC COLD FRONT WILL BE MOST ENHANCED SATURDAY AFTERNOON INTO
SATURDAY NIGHT. SOME UNCERTAINTY FOR NE/EC AREAS BASED ON THE
GEM/ECMWF/GFS OUTPUTS. THE CANADIAN IS MOST BULLISH AND FURTHER
SOUTH WITH THE SNOW BAND ACROSS THE EAST. GUT FEELING PLACES THIS
EVENT LARGELY INTO ADVISORY STATUS ALTHOUGH THE NE
PLAINS/HIGHLANDS AND A COUPLE OF THE HIGH MTN ZONES ACROSS THE
NORTH WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED. A FLASH FREEZE EVENT FOR SOME
AREAS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE SATURDAY NIGHT AS RESIDUAL
WATER/SLUSH ON THE ROADWAYS FREEZES DUE TO RAPIDLY DROPPING TEMPS.
THESE TYPES OF EVENTS ARE ALWAYS TRICKY AND ARE PARTIALLY
DEPENDENT ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HEAVIER SNOW RATES AND
DIURNAL TRENDS. THE OTHER CAVEAT WILL BE THE WARM SURFACE TEMPS
LEADING INTO THE EVENT. THAT WILL ACCOUNT FOR SOME EXTRA WARMING
OF THE ROADWAYS AND LESSEN INITIAL IMPACT. ALSO DECIDED TO INCLUDE
ISOLATE THUNDER FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON WHICH WILL CREATE BRIEF
BUT HEAVY SNOWFALL RATES FOR WESTERN/CENTRAL AREAS.

MODELS REMAIN PRETTY CONSISTENT WITH THE NEXT PACIFIC TROUGH/WAVE
MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. ONCE AGAIN...THE DYNAMICS WEAKEN
RAPIDLY AS THE JET STREAK MOVES OVER THE AREA WITH THE MAIN UPPER
LOW WELL TO THE NORTH. THIS WILL BE A COOLER SYSTEM SO A DENDRITIC
GROWTH PERIOD WILL BE LIKELY. THE MAIN WILDCARD WILL BE A
SECONDARY PIECE OF PACIFIC ENERGY DURING THE MIDWEEK PERIOD. THE
GFS IS MUCH STRONGER WITH ITS QPF/SNOWFALL THAN THE ECMWF. THE GEM
IS MORE SIMILAR TO THE ECMWF. THUS UNCERTAINTY INCREASES QUITE A
BIT BY MIDWEEK.

.FIRE WEATHER...
TEMPS TO REMAIN 10 TO JUST OVER 20 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL LVLS WEST
THROUGH TONIGHT AND ACROSS THE EAST THROUGH FRI NIGHT. WE SHOULD
SEE SOMEWHAT LESS CLOUDINESS AREA WIDE TODAY THROUGH AT LEAST MID
AFTN...AS COMPARED TO WED...WHICH SHOULD AID THE DIURNAL TEMP RISE
TO SOME DEGREE.

WINDS ALOFT TO SHIFT FROM BLOWING OUT OF THE WEST TODAY TO SW ON
FRI. WHILE THERE WILL BE SOME RELATIVELY MINOR VARIABILITY IN THE
VERY SHORT TERM...OVERALL WIND SPEEDS WILL INCREASE INTO EARLY FRI.
LOWER TERRAIN WINDS WILL GENERALLY PEAK BETWEEN MIDDAY AND VERY
EARLY EVE TODAY AND FRI...BUT HIGH UP THE WINDS LOOK TO PEAK LATE
TONIGHT INTO EARLY FRI...STRONGEST IN THE VICINITY OF THE SANGRE DE
CRISTOS. HERE AND DURING THIS TIME FRAME MTN TOP WIND SPEEDS LIKELY
TO REACH 50-60 MPH IF NOT A BIT HIGHER. THERE IS ALSO MODERATE
CONFIDENCE THAT MTN WAVE ACTIVITY CAN DEVELOP EAST OF THE SANGRES
ALSO DURING THIS PERIOD. FAIRLY WIDESPREAD 15 TO 30 MPH SUSTAINED
WINDS WITH GUSTS BETWEEN 35 AND 50 MPH WILL BE LIKELY EVEN ACROSS
LOWER TERRAIN. FRI THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR AS MUCH AS A 3 TO 5 HOUR
PERIOD OF MARGINAL CRITICAL FIRE WX CONDITIONS IN SPOTTY COVERAGE
ACROSS E CENTRAL AND NE PLAINS. BUT WITH IT BEING SO MARGINAL...
HAINES VALUES MOSTLY IN THE 3 TO 4 RANGE AND STILL SOME CLOUDINESS
IN THE AREA...WILL NOT ISSUE ANY WATCHES OR WARNINGS AT THIS TIME.
DAY AND EVE CREWS WILL TAKE ANOTHER CLOSE LOOK.

AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL CROSS THE STATE ON FRI NIGHT AND SAT.
LIFT WITH AND JUST AHEAD OF A FAIRLY SHARP UPPER TROUGH AND
STRONG PACIFIC COLD FRONT PUSHING ACROSS THE AREA SHOULD TRIGGER AT
LEAST SCATTERED RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS....FIRST ACROSS THE NW FRI
NIGHT THEN TO A LITTLE LESSER DEGREE SPREADING SOUTH AND EAST DURING
THE DAY SAT. PRECIP AMOUNTS STILL LOOKING LIGHT TO MODERATE...PERHAPS
A FEW INCHES IN THE MTNS...LESS LOWER DOWN...EXCEPT PERHAPS IN THE
NE PLAINS AND EAST SLOPES OF THE SANGRES WHERE A BACK DOOR COLD FRONT
MAY ENCOURAGE FOR SOME MORE SUBSTANTIAL AMTS.

QUIETER...BUT COOL TO CHILLY TEMPS WILL PREVAIL FOR SUN AND EARLY MON
AS SHORTWAVE RIDGING SLIDES ACROSS NM. ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM MAY IMPACT
PORTIONS OF THE AREA LATER MON AND PERHAPS AS LATE AS WED...DEPENDING
ON WHICH OF THE POORLY AGREEING FCST MODELS IS CLOSER TO WHAT
EVENTUALLY TRANSPIRES. THE NORTH HALF OF THE AREA OVERALL SEEMS TO BE
A LITTLE MORE FAVORED AS IT LOOKS CURRENTLY.

VENTILATION WILL GRADUALLY IMPROVE THROUGH FRIDAY AS WINDS INCREASE.
MOST AREAS ON FRIDAY WILL SEE GOOD OR BETTER VENT RATES...THOUGH FAIR
POCKETS STILL POSS EAST HALF. RATES MAY IMPROVE FURTHER SAT...EXCEPT
PERHAPS IN THE FAR NORTH...THEN ITS A BIT OF A ROLLER COASTER
THEREAFTER INTO THE FIRST HALF OF THE NEXT WORK WEEK.
