AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
355 AM MST TUE DEC 22 2015

.SYNOPSIS...

STRONG WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO DOMINATE THE REGION
FOR MUCH OF THE WEEK. OCCASIONAL HIGH ELEVATION SNOW FOR THE
NORTHWEST AND NORTH CENTRAL WILL PERSIST...AND STRONG AND GUSTY
WESTERLY WINDS WILL IMPACT THE HIGHER TERRAIN AND ESPECIALLY THE
EAST SLOPES OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN AND PORTIONS OF THE
ADJACENT HIGHLANDS AND EAST CENTRAL PLAINS.

MODELS REMAIN CONSISTENT WITH THE IDEA A MAJOR WINTER STORM WITH
WIDESPREAD ACCUMULATING SNOW AND STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS COULD IMPACT
NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NEW MEXICO STARTING CHRISTMAS DAY AND INTENSIFY
SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT. HOWEVER...SOME OF THE DETAILS WILL
LIKELY CHANGE AS FORECAST STORM PATH AND TIMING REMAINS SOMEWHAT
UNCERTAIN. HOLIDAY TRAVELERS SHOULD STAY UP TO DATE WITH THE LATEST
WEATHER FORECAST. HIGH TEMPERATURES LOOK TO FALL WELL BELOW AVERAGE
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO INHERITED FORECAST GRIDS. EXPANDED WINTER
HIGHLIGHTS TO INCLUDE THE SANGRE DE CRISTO AND SANDIA/MANZANO
MTS...AS WELL AS THE UPPER RGV AND UPPER CHAMA RIVER VALLEY FOR
TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY AS SOME CURRENT WIND HIGHLIGHTS CROSS OVER TO
THE MORE WINTERY. THE NORTHWEST PLATEAU MAY NEED TO BE CONSIDERED
FOR ADDITION TO THE WINTERY AS TEMPERATURES COOL TONIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY. WIND ADVY ALSO EXPANDED TO INCLUDE SAN MIGUEL COUNTY
TODAY...AND SOME AREAS MAY NEED TO BE EXTENDED OR ADDED ON
WEDNESDAY. ALL IN ALL...KIND OF MESSY.

MIN TEMPS TREND DOWNWARD 10 TO CLOSE TO 20 DEGREES WEDNESDAY NIGHT
AS MUCH COLDER AIR ALOFT AND LOWER DEW POINTS SAG INTO NORTHERN NM.
STILL LOWS FOR MOST OF THE CENTRAL AND SOUTH REMAIN NEAR TO ABOVE
AVERAGE. THURSDAY NIGHT WILL SEE SOME RECOVERIES AS WARM ADVECTION
BEGINS IN ADVANCE OF THE APPROACHING WINTER STORM. FOR THE PERIOD
FROM THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY THE NORTHWEST HIGHER TERRAIN WILL
REMAIN UNDER THE GUN FOR OCCASIONAL AND ACCUMULATING SNOW.

GFS AND ECMWF NOW FAIRLY SIMILAR WITH THE UPPER LOW TRACK FRIDAY
NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT...BUT ECMWF TAKES THE LOW FARTHER SOUTH
THEREAFTER...PROLONGING THE STORM/S AGONY INTO MONDAY...WHILE THE
GFS BOOTS IT OUT AROUND 24 HRS SOONER. THEN EVEN MORE UNSETTLED
WEATHER COULD POTENTIALLY TO CLOSE OUT THE LAST WEEK OF 2015.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. NO WIDESPREAD
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS THOUGH...ASIDE FROM AREAS OF POOR VENTILATION
ON A FEW DAYS.

STRONG JET STREAM WINDS OF 150 KNOTS OR MORE AT 250 MB POISED TO
OVERTAKE NM AND BRING IN WIND...SNOW AND RAIN OVER W AND N ZONES
OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. A MAJOR STORM IS POSSIBLE STARTING ON
CHRISTMAS IN THE NORTHWEST AND SPREADING EAST AND SOUTH OVER THE
WEEKEND...PERHAPS CONTINUING INTO NEXT WEEK OVER THE EAST CENTRAL
PLAINS.

PRECIPITATION WILL DEVELOP TODAY IN THE WESTERN AND NORTHERN HIGH
TERRAIN...MAINLY IN THE FORM OF SNOW. SOME LOWER ELEVATIONS WILL GET
A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW. WETTING PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED OVER THE
HIGH TERRAIN FACING THE WEST AND NORTHWEST. EASTERN AREAS WILL BE
MUCH DRIER AND HAVE DOWNSLOPE WIND CONDITIONS. HIGH WINDS TO
CONTINUE TODAY OVER SANGRE DE CRISTOS AND RATON RIDGE...JOHNSON
MESA. STRONG WINDS TODAY OVER SW AND CENTRAL ZONES TODAY. HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL BE A FEW DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL ACROSS THE EASTERN
PLAINS...A LITTLE BELOW NORMAL CENTRAL AND WEST. THE STRONGEST
DOWNSLOPE SIGNATURE IN TERMS OF LOWERING RH AND DEWPOINTS WILL BE
FOUND TO THE LEE OF THE SANGRE DE CRISTOS TODAY. VENTILATION WILL BE
FAIR TO GOOD MOST AREAS TODAY WITH POCKETS OF POOR VENT RATES OVER
THE NORTHWEST AND FAR NORTHEAST.

WINDS WILL HOLD UP OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN TONIGHT AND CONTINUE
WEDNESDAY. THIS IS COVERED IN THE WIND ADVISORY. PRECIPITATION WILL
ALSO CONTINUE TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...MOSTLY IN THE FORM OF SNOW.
LONG DURATION SNOW OVER THE SAN JUAN...TUSAS MOUNTAINS AND ADJACENT
HIGHLANDS WILL ADD UP TO SUBSTANTIAL SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS.

LIGHT SNOW TO THEN CONTINUE WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH CHRISTMAS EVE AS
WE EXPERIENCE A BIT OF A LULL BEFORE A POSSIBLE MAJOR STORM. VENT
RATES WILL BE POOR THURSDAY IN THE NORTHWEST AND CENTRAL VALLEYS.
THE HIGH TEMPERATURE TREND WILL BE DOWNWARD WHILE RH VALUES INCREASE.

MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT A DEEPENING CLOSED LOW WILL ORGANIZE
TO OUR NORTHWEST AND WEST CHRISTMAS DAY AND NIGHT...THEN TRACK
SLOWLY OVER FAR SOUTHERN NM...WEST TX OVER THE WEEKEND...BEFORE
LIFTING NORTHEAST EARLY NEXT WEEK. WHAT THE MODELS DO NOT AGREE ON
IS THE EXACT TRACK OF THE STORM AND RESULTING PLACEMENT OF THE MOST
PRECIPITATION...WITH THE EUROPEAN JUST A BIT FARTHER SOUTH THAN THE
GFS...WHILE THE CANADIAN IS NOTICEABLY FARTHER SOUTH. THIS OF COURSE
WILL MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE ON JUST HOW FAR NORTH THE MAIN BAND OF
SNOW WILL GET. THE OTHER FACTOR IS THE EUROPEAN IS MUCH SLOWER
EJECTING THE STORM TO THE NORTHEAST...WHICH WOULD MEAN A LONGER
PERIOD OF SNOW ACROSS THE EAST. RIGHT NOW THE SOUTHEAST HALF OF OUR
FORECAST ZONES LOOK TO BE THE BIG WINNERS. TEMPERATURES WILL
CONTINUE TO SPIRAL DOWNWARD AS A STRONG COLD FRONT PLOWS SOUTH OVER
NM SATURDAY. POTENTIALLY HIGH AND DAMAGING WINDS COULD IMPACT THE
CENTRAL VALLEYS AS EAST CANYON WINDS BLAST INTO THE AREA LATER
SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY. THIS COULD BE AN OVER THE TOP EVENT IF THE
COLD AIR MASS IS DEEP ENOUGH TO REACH THE HIGHER MOUNTAIN TOPS.
