AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
341 AM MDT THU MAR 19 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION IS IN STORE TODAY AND TONIGHT ACROSS THE
LAND OF ENCHANTMENT. THOUGH MAINLY RAIN IS EXPECTED...AREAS ABOVE
8000 FEET IN THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS WILL SEE SIGNIFICANT SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS. ELSEWHERE...RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF ONE HALF INCH WILL
BE COMMON...WITH SOME AREAS PICKING UP RAINFALL TOTALS CLOSER TO
AN INCH. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS REMAIN ON TAP FOR
FRIDAY...ESPECIALLY ACROSS WESTERN NEW MEXICO. SOME ISOLATED
ACTIVITY MAY PERSIST INTO SATURDAY ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN. MUCH
DRIER AIR WILL MOVE INTO THE STATE EARLY NEXT WEEK...ELIMINATING
PRECIPITATION CHANCES. IN FACT...A MORE TYPICAL BREEZY MARCH DAY
LOOKS TO BE IN STORE FOR TUESDAY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION REMAINS ON TAP TODAY AS SUBTROPICAL
MOISTURE CONTINUES TO BE USHERED IN AHEAD OF A PACIFIC LOW OVER
NORTHERN BAJA/SOUTHERN AZ. KABQ 00Z SOUNDING BOASTING A PWAT OF
0.74...WHICH IS THE 4TH HIGHEST ON RECORD FOR THE MONTH OF MARCH.
WEAK PERTURBATIONS LOOK TO EJECT NEWD OVER NM THIS AFTERNOON FROM
THE PACIFIC LOW AS THE NORTHERN STREAM TROUGH NEARS NORTHERN NM AND
A BACK DOOR FRONT SLIDES SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE PLAINS.
THUS...ABUNDANT MOISTURE AND WIDESPREAD LIFT WILL BE MORE THAN
SUFFICIENT FOR WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION TODAY...AND PRECIPITATION
WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT. SNOW LEVELS WILL REMAIN QUITE HIGH
TODAY...AOA 8500 FEET...UNTIL LATE THIS AFTN/EARLY EVE AS THE BACK
DOOR FRONT PROGRESSES FARTHER SOUTH AND BACKS UP TO THE SANGRE DE
CRISTO MOUNTAINS. AT THAT TIME...SNOW LEVELS MAY LOWER TO NEAR 7500
FEET AND CONTINUE NEAR THAT LEVEL THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...AT
LEAST IN THE VICINITY OF THE NORTHERN MTNS. HIGHER SNOW LEVELS WILL
PERSIST FURTHER SOUTH. HAVE DECIDED TO UPGRADE THE WINTER STORM
WATCH TO A WARNING FOR THE NORTHERN MTNS...EXCEPT FOR THE JEMEZ...
WHERE THE WATCH WILL BE UPGRADED TO AN ADVISORY. UP TO A FOOT OF
SNOW WILL BE POSSIBLE ABOVE 10000 FEET IN THE SANGRE DE CRISTO
MOUNTAINS.

IT APPEARS THAT THE NORTHERN STREAM TROUGH WILL PHASE WITH THE
PACIFIC LOW AS THEY INCH EAST/SE ON FRIDAY. STILL LOOKING FOR
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS FAVORING THE HIGH
TERRAIN...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE WEST. THE PHASED TROUGHS LOOKED TO
FINALLY MOVE EAST ACROSS NM ON FRIDAY NIGHT AND EARLY SATURDAY.
MODELS LOOK TO BE TRENDING QPF DOWNWARD FOR SATURDAY AS DRIER AIR
MOVES IN...THUS LATER SHIFTS MAY NEED TO CONTINUE TO CUT BACK ON
POPS SAT AFTN.

WEAK RIDGING ACROSS THE DESERT SW WILL SET UP FOR SUNDAY AND MUCH
DRIER AIR WILL MOVE INTO NM...REMOVING CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION.
TEMPERATURES WILL SOLIDLY BE ABOVE NORMAL...AFTER BEING MOSTLY BELOW
NORMAL TODAY AND FRIDAY DUE TO THE PRECIP/CLOUD COVER.

A WEAK FRONT MAY BACK INTO NE NM ON MONDAY...BUT TEMPS SHOULD REMAIN
ABOVE NORMAL. BY TUESDAY...WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL INCREASE AS A
SURFACE LOW OVER SE CO DEVELOPS. THUS...A DRY AND BREEZY...MORE
TYPICAL MARCH DAY...LOOKS TO BE IN STORE FOR TUESDAY. AN UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH MAY CLIP NE NM ON WED/THURS BUT TOO EARLY TO SAY HOW
MUCH IMPACT IT WILL HAVE.

34

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
VERY MOIST AIR MASS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE TODAY AND FRIDAY...WITH
COOL TEMPERATURES AND WETTING PRECIPITATION. A WARMING AND DRYING TO
START ON SATURDAY AND CONTINUE THROUGH TUESDAY...WHEN SOME SPOTTY
CRITICAL WEATHER IS POSSIBLE. COOLER WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY WITH
INCREASING CHANCES OF WETTING PRECIPITATION FAVORING NORTHERN ZONES.

ACTIVE PATTER TO CONTINUE TODAY AS THE TROUGH AXIS OF AN UPPER
LOW...CURRENTLY POSITIONED OVER ARIZONA GRADUALLY APPROACHES NEW
MEXICO.  SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF THE LOW IS USHERING IN DEEP
MOISTURE WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WELL ABOVE AVERAGE. SHOWERS
ARE CURRENTLY MOVING FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST. WHILE SOME AREAS
WILL SEE A SHORT BREAK IN ACTIVITY TODAY...A BACK DOOR FRONT WILL
MOVE INTO THE NORTHEAST AS THE UPPER LEVEL JET AHEAD OF THE LOW
STEADILY STRENGTHENS PROVIDING ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR WETTING
PRECIPITATION LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT. A FEW THUNDERSTORMS MAY
ACCOMPANY THIS ACTIVITY...WITH ACCUMULATING SNOW OVER THE NORTHERN
MOUNTAINS THIS AFTERNOON AND OVERNIGHT.

AS THE UPPER LOW SLOWLY SHIFTS TO THE EAST...CHANCES OF WETTING RAIN
CONTINUE BUT GRADUALLY DECREASE FRIDAY...WITH THE HIGHER TERRAIN
FAVORED. VENTILATION TO BE POOR ACROSS THE NORTH AND EAST.

THE LOW WEAKENS AND MOVES EAST OF NEW MEXICO BY LATE SATURDAY...WITH
WARMING ALL ZONES AND ISOLATED MAINLY HIGHER TERRAIN WETTING
PRECIPITATION. THE WARMING AND DRYING TREND CONTINUES ON SUNDAY AS
WEAK RIDGING BUILDS OVER THE ROCKIES. VENTILATION INCREASES BOTH
DAYS.

NEAR ZONAL FLOW ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY WITH LEE TROUGHING DEVELOPING
ON TUESDAY WITH GUSTY WEST TO SOUTHWEST WINDS BY AFTERNOON.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE 5 TO 15 DEGREES ABOVE AVERAGE...MIN RH WILL
DROP BELOW 15 PERCENT IN PLACES...AND HAINES VALUES ARE FORECAST TO
REACH 5 TO 6. THUS...SOME CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE
POSSIBLE...MAINLY WEST CENTRAL AND EAST CENTRAL ZONES ALONG THE
INTERSTATE 40 CORRIDOR.

05

&&

.AVIATION...
06Z TAF CYCLE
THE CURRENT BATCH OF SHOWERS OVER THE NORTHERN HIGH TERRAIN AND
THE NORTHEAST PLAINS WILL EXIT SLOWLY THROUGH SUNRISE. CLEARING
BEHIND THIS WAVE MAY ALLOW FOR FOG DEVELOPMENT AROUND THE AREAS
MENTIONED EARLIER TONIGHT...FROM KAEG TO KABQ/KSAF AND KLVS.
WIDESPREAD RAINFALL BTWN 0.05 AND 0.15 WAS REPORTED AND CURRENT
DEWPOINT DEPRESSIONS ARE ON THE ORDER OF 3 SO IT LOOKS MORE
POSSIBLE WITH THIS AREA OF CLEARING. PLACED TEMPO GROUPS FOR
JUST A COUPLE HOURS TO NARROW IN ON BEST WINDOW...BEFORE THE
NEXT AREA OF CLOUD COVER INCREASING OVERHEAD FROM THE SOUTHWEST.
THURSDAY STILL LOOKS LIKE A VERY DYNAMIC DAY AFT 18Z AS A COLD
FRONT MOVES INTO THE AREA BENEATH AN APPROACHING UPPER WAVE.
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...RAIN CHANGING TO SNOW IN
THE HIGH TERRAIN...AND GUSTY WINDS ARE EXPECTED BEHIND THE FRONT.
