The radar

The Albuquerque radar (KABX), 68 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 21:48 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this flash flood warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

The nearest sounding before it

Albuquerq/Krtlnd, NM (KABQ), launched 12:00Z, 9.8 hours before the alert went out and 45 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this flash flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Albuquerque, NM wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at Aug 13, 3:06 PM MDT, 42 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 13, 3:06 PM MDT, 42 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Albuquerque NM
306 PM MDT SAT AUG 13 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
After an active thunderstorm day, look for a slight downtrend in
coverage Sunday with a bit of a warming trend beginning as high
pressure strengthens over the Desert Southwest and southern
Rockies. That trend will continue into Tuesday, with temperatures
going above normal at a majority of locales. High pressure will
begin to lose it's grip over New Mexico from mid to late week,
leading to improved storm coverage and a slight downtrend in
daytime temperatures closer to normal for mid August.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Storms took off early today and a majority of them contain hail
per spotter reports and MRMS data indicating maximum estimated
hail sizes generally between peas and quarters. One storm became
severe near San Fidel and deposited hail on Interstate 40 which
accumulated to 4 inches in depth. Improved lapse rates are helping
to intensify storms, with the 12z KABQ sounding showing -10C at
500mb. Lower freezing levels with a cooler lower boundary layer,
thanks to the backdoor front, are providing an atmosphere less
favorable for hail melt compared to the past couple of days.
Sunday is looking similar overall as we remain on the periphery of
the upper high centered over southern California. 500mb
temperatures are forecast to increase by 1-2C, but will still be
plenty cold to support similar storms capable of producing hail
though mostly non-severe. Storm motion should be due south Sunday
and increase by 5-10 mph compared to today. Both the Santa Fe and
Albuquerque Metros will be favored Sunday afternoon/evening as
storms move south off of the mountains.

There is still some forecast uncertainty regarding the pattern
transition from early to mid week as model run-to-run consistency
has been relatively poor. Forecast confidence is moderate to high
that the mid level ridge will be positioned over the Desert
Southwest extending into New Mexico through Tuesday with a gradual
downtrend in rain chances and daytime temperatures trending above
normal for most locales. After Tuesday, the upper high will
likely break-down with the subtropical high along the Gulf coast
becoming dominant and a broad, but weak, trough closing off a low
offshore of central California. Going from late week into early
next weekend, a deep and broad trough is forecast to drop
southeast out of central Canada and push a cold front down the
plains into eastern New Mexico. This pattern change points to high
temperatures retreating closer to normal by late week, perhaps
below normal, with renewed rain chances.

11

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Scattered wet thunderstorms with plenty of small hail will continue
well into the evening hours with isolated activity continuing
overnight. Low level moisture makes a push back westward tonight but
models indicating it will get pushed back to the southeast and/or
mix out faster on Sunday. Scattered storms will favor areas along
and near the central mountain chain as well as the southwest
mountains Sunday afternoon and early evening. Dry air at all levels
will win out across the northwest third Sunday afternoon and
evening.

Upper high center slides east to near Winslow, AZ Monday afternoon.
Subsidence on the eastern periphery of the high will move over the
northwest half of the state and northwest winds near mountain-top
level bring in dry air. Only isolated activity is expected across
the northern and western mountains Monday afternoon and early
evening.

By Tuesday, the models remain in good agreement that the upper high
(500mb) will shift far enough eastward to allow the mid-level high
(700mb) to shift east of the Rocky Mountain crest. This shift
results in a weak southerly to southeasterly flow near and below
mountain top level across NM. This, in turn, will result in a slight
increase in precipitable water values across central and western NM
Tuesday. A slight uptick in thunderstorm activity is forecast across
the NW half of the state as a result.

GFS now on board with the ECMWF brining in a broad upper level short-
wave trough into CA and the Great Basin Tuesday night and Wednesday.
This trough forces the upper high center east of NM late-day
Wednesday. Low to mid level southerly flow continues to gradually
transport moisture in from the south Wednesday. This moisture
translates to a continued uptick in activity across the northwest
half of the state Wednesday afternoon and evening.

By Thursday, heights fall and the mid and upper levels cool enough
to support scattered convection across roughly the northwest two-
thirds of the state. The parent upper trough crosses the central
Rockies Thursday night, drying things out and cooling all areas to
below average. GFS and ECMWF agree that a strong backdoor front
drops down sometime Friday night or Saturday.

33

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF CYCLE
Thunderstorms getting an early start this morning thanks to a low
level moisture surge behind the passage of a backdoor front. Storm
motion will be tricky today with 15kt of north to northwest winds
at 18K ft MSL and 40kt of southwest winds at 30K ft MSL. Majority
of storms should drift east to southeastward around 20kt. A few of
the stronger storms east of the central mt chain may become
strong. Brief MVFR vsbys and perhaps MVFR cigs are possible with
the stronger storms. Convective activity will continue well into
the evening hours before diminishing after midnight. Isold
activity likely to continue overnight.
