AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
259 PM MST TUE JAN 20 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
WINTER STORM TO HAVE MAJOR IMPACTS OVER MUCH OF OUR FORECAST AREA.
FIRST STORM TO OUR W WILL CROSS NM WEDNESDAY. SECOND STORM FROM THE
N WILL DROP S AND STRENGTHEN INTO A CLOSED LOW WEDNESDAY NIGHT OVER
THE FOUR CORNERS AREA. LOW WILL SLOWLY CROSS NM THURSDAY. WIDESPREAD
SNOW EXPECTED WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...HEAVIEST OVER THE
NE THIRD OF THE STATE.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
BIG TIME STORM TO IMPACT THE STATE. SNOW WILL BEGIN TONIGHT OVER THE
N AND SPREAD S DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY. WIDESPREAD SNOW WEDNESDAY
NIGHT INTO THURSDAY BEFORE DIMINISHING FROM NW TO SE LATE THURSDAY
AND THURSDAY NIGHT. EAST CANYON WINDS OVER PORTIONS OF THE RGV WILL
CREATE BLOWING SNOW WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY. THE E WINDS WILL
ALSO MAKE FOR A TOUGH FORECAST IN TERMS OF SNOW PLACEMENT AND THE
RESULTING SNOW AMOUNTS. BUT CERTAINLY WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES WILL
BE WARRANTED. WE WILL ISSUE WARNINGS AND ADVISORIES FOR THE NORTHERN
TIER OF ZONES AND MUCH OF THE E WHERE SNOW WILL BEGIN ACCUMULATING
LATER TONIGHT OR THURSDAY AM. LATER SHIFTS WILL ADD TO THE WARNINGS
AND ADVISORIES. BASIC THINKING IS ADDITIONAL WARNINGS WILL BE NEEDED
FOR THE REST OF CENTRAL AND E AREAS AND ADVISORIES OVER ALL THE W.

FRIDAY AND BEYOND LOOKS DRY WITH TEMPERATURES RECOVERING TO NEAR
NORMAL OVER THE WEEKEND. CHJ

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
NO MAJOR CHANGES TO THE GRIDDED FORECAST OTHER THAN INCREASING SNOW
POTENTIAL AND AMOUNTS ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS AND ALONG THE EAST
SLOPES OF THE CENTRAL MTNS. A SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM EXPECTED
ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE AREA WITH IMPACTS CENTERED OVER
BANDELIER NATIONAL MONUMENT OR SE PORTIONS OF THE JEMEZ MTNS AS WELL
AS EASTERLY UPSLOPE AREAS BETWEEN THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE AND RIO
GRANDE VALLEY. VENTILATION WILL BE THE OTHER ISSUE THROUGH MOST OF
THE PERIOD ALTHOUGH NUMBERS WILL IMPROVE WED/THUR DUE TO THE
SYSTEM PASSAGE.

WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE SHAPING UP FOR AN ACTIVE PERIODS DURING THE
NEXT 48 TO 60 HRS. STILL SOME MODEL DISCREPANCY IN THE DURATION OF
THE SNOW EVENT...WHETHER IT WILL LAST THROUGH THURSDAY
NIGHT....OTHERWISE MODELS IN FAIR AGREEMENT. UPPER LOW COMBINED WITH
A BACK DOOR COLD FRONT WILL INITIATE SNOW ACROSS A GOOD PORTION OF
THE AREA BUT ESPECIALLY FAVORING THE EASTERN HALF. EASTERLY ASPECTS
FOUND ALONG THE CENTRAL MTN CHAIN AS WELL AS PORTIONS OF THE JEMEZ
MTNS AND PERHAPS MT TAYLOR/CONTINENTAL DIVIDE AREA SHOULD ALSO GET
IN ON THE ACTION. WEST SLOPES WONT DO QUITE AS WELL BUT SHOULD ALSO
EXPERIENCE SOME MEASURABLE SNOW. AREAS WEST OF THE CONTINENTAL
DIVIDE WILL BE LEAST FAVORED BUT ALSO HAVE CHANCES WEDNESDAY.
TEMPERATURES WILL TREND LOWER WHILE HUMIDITY VALUES RISE. GUSTY GAP
WINDS WITH A PARTIAL OVERTOPPING ALONG THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS
LIKELY...FAVORING THURSDAY MORNING. VENTILATION WILL TREND UP AS A
RESULT OF THE STRONGER TRANSPORT WINDS AND SOME MODEST INCREASES IN
MIXING HEIGHTS ACROSS THE WEST.

MUCH LOWER DEWPOINTS ACCOMPANIED WITH A STRONG MID LEVEL DRY SLOT IS
EXPECTED FRIDAY. DEWPOINTS WILL BE TRICKY DUE TO SOME PARTIAL
MELTING...WHERE TEMPS ARE GREATER THAN 32 DEGREES...AND THE DRIER
AIR TRYING TO MIX TO THE SURFACE. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN WILD RANGING
RH VALUES DURING THE AFTERNOON AND FRIDAY NIGHT. CURRENT GRIDDED
FORECAST SHOWS HIGHER RH VALUES OVERALL. VENTILATION WILL BE MUCH
LESS ON FRIDAY.

DRIER AND WARMER RIDGING IS DEPICTED BY ALL OF THE MEDIUM RANGE
MODELS DURING THE WEEKEND. THIS MEANS A WARMING TREND AT THE
SURFACE. VENTILATION SHOULD BE QUITE POOR UNDER THIS PATTERN.

BOTH ECMWF/GFS BRING THE UPPER RIDGE AXIS OVER THE STATE EARLY NEXT
WEEK. IF THIS HOLDS TRUE...VENTILATION WOULD BE LOW. MODELS DO HINT
AT SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE EVENTUALLY GETTING PULLED NORTHWARD OVER THE
AREA DURING THIS PERIOD. THIS MEANS INCREASED CLOUD COVER AND AN
EVENTUAL RISE IN HUMIDITY VALUES. STILL TOO EARLY TO SAY ABOUT
PRECIPITATION WITH THE GFS MORE BULLISH THAN THE ECMWF. 50

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF CYCLE
IFR CIGS WILL INITIALLY BE FOUND ACROSS THE NE PLAINS DUE TO A
BACK DOOR COLD FRONTAL INTRUSION DURING THE AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE
VFR CONDITIONS AT ALL OF THE MAIN TERMINAL SITES. THE MAIN PERIOD
FOR A TRANSITION OF MVFR/IFR TO LIFR WILL OCCUR TONIGHT INTO WED
MORNING AT MANY TERMINAL SITES. CENTRAL TERMINAL SITES WILL TAKE
LONGER TO DROP INTO IFR/LIFR RESTRICTIONS. A SIGNIFICANT WINTER
STORM SYSTEM COMBINED WITH REINFORCING COOL AIR FROM THE EAST WILL
BE THE PRIMARY DRIVER FOR REDUCED CIGS/VIS DUE TO SNOW. THE MAIN
PERIOD FOR DEGRADATION WILL OCCUR AT 6Z ACROSS THE EAST AND AFTER
12Z ACROSS WESTERN/CENTRAL SITES. THE INITIAL EAST CANYON WIND
WILL BE LIGHTER TONIGHT AT ABQ VERSUS THE WED NIGHT PERIOD.
