AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
334 PM MST SAT JAN 30 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAKER DISTURBANCE WILL BRING A FEW TO SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW TO
THE NORTHWEST HIGHLANDS AND NORTHERN MOUNTAINS TONIGHT INTO
SUNDAY. STRONG WINDS ARE ALSO EXPECTED TO CONTINUE ALONG AND JUST
EAST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN...WHERE GUSTS FROM 45 TO 55 MPH
ARE EXPECTED. A STRONG UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL THEN
BRING MORE WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY
NIGHT AS IT CROSSES NORTHERN NEW MEXICO FROM THE WEST. THE
NORTHERN AND WESTERN MOUNTAINS...NORTHWEST HIGHLANDS AND UPPER RIO
GRANDE VALLEY HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOW
ACCUMULATION. THIS STORM WILL ALSO BRING STRONG WINDS TO ALL BUT
THE NORTHERN FRINGE OF NEW MEXICO MONDAY. DAMAGING WIND GUSTS WILL
BE POSSIBLE ALONG AND JUST EAST OF THE SACRAMENTO MOUNTAINS.
WEAKER DISTURBANCES WILL TRAIL BEHIND THE UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM KEEPING THE WEATHER COOL AND UNSETTLED THROUGH THE MIDDLE
OF THE COMING WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
WE WILL ISSUE A WINTER STORM WATCH WITH THIS FORECAST PACKAGE FOR
THE UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM. BESIDES THE POTENTIAL FOR
SIGNIFICANT SNOW FALL ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN
MOUNTAINS...NORTHWEST HIGHLANDS AND UPPER RIO GRANDE VALLEY...THE
REMAINDER OF CENTRAL...WESTERN AND NORTHERN NM MAY RECEIVE A FEW
INCHES OF SNOW. MODELS ARE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE TRACK
AND TIMING OF THIS SYSTEM...WHICH MAY CONTINUE TO PRODUCE WRAP
AROUND PRECIP OVER NORTHERN AREAS THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT.

44

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
AFTER THIS...THE WARMEST DAY OF THIS ENTIRE FCST PERIOD...WE WILL
SEE A PRETTY DRAMATIC DOWNTURN IN TEMPS...ALONG WITH A LOT OF WIND
AND SOME MAJOR SNOW ACCUMULATIONS...PRIMARILY WEST AND NORTHERN
MTNS.

FOR THIS LATE AFTN AND EVE...WE WILL CONTINUE TO STAND DOWN ON ANY
RED FLAG HIGHLIGHTS AS HAINES VALUES TOO LOW. LATE TONIGHT WILL BRING
THE FIRST CHANCES OF SOME SPOTTY LIGHT RAIN AND SNOW FOR THE FAR NW
AND NORTH CENTRAL SECTIONS OF THE STATE. THIS WILL MARK THE START OF
A VERY LONG PRECIP PERIOD FOR THAT AREA...WHICH SHOULD TRANSLATE TO
NEW SNOW AMOUNTS MEASURED IN FEET THERE...ESPECIALLY ABOVE 8000 FEET.
TEMPS WILL START TO TREND DOWN SUN WITH INCREASING AND THICKENING
CLOUDS AS WELL AS THE REAL START OF SIGNIFICANT AMTS OF RAIN AND
HIGHER TERRAIN SNOW. FOR THE MOST PART THROUGH MON AS THE JET STREAM
SAGS SOUTH A BIT...AND ESPECIALLY SO ON MON WHEN A MAJOR LOW PRESSURE
TROUGH ALOFT SWINGS INTO THE STATE...PRECIP WILL ALSO SPREAD EAST AND
SOUTH. VENT RATES WILL CONTINUE THE UPTREND SUN...GOOD TO EXCELLENT
ALL BUT FAR NW AND NE NM...AND VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT AREAWIDE BY MON
WITH THE ENTRY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED STORM INTO THE STATE. ANOTHER
ROUND OF BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS SUN MAY BE ENOUGH TO CREATE
BETWEEN 1 AND 3 HOURS OF CRITICAL CONDITIONS SOUTH OF A LINE FROM
CLOVIS TO THE VERY LARGE ARRAY...NOT LONG ENOUGH FOR ANY HIGHLIGHTS.
VERY WINDY CONDITIONS EXPECTED MON AND CHANCES FOR WETTING PRECIP
SURGE UPWARD...FAVORING W AND SW FACING SLOPES OF THE HIGHER TERRAIN.
TEMPS WILL DROP TO BELOW NORMAL BEHIND THE COLD FRONT MONDAY AND
REMAIN WELL BELOW NORMAL THROUGH AT LEAST THU. DISTURBANCES IN THE
ENSUING NW FLOW ALOFT WILL KEEP PLENTY OF COLD AIR AREAWIDE. VENT
RATES WILL TREND DOWN EACH DAY BEHIND THE COLD FRONT AND BE MOSTLY
POOR BY THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. A LATE WEEK WARMING TREND WILL BRING
HIGHS TO WITHIN 5 DEGREES OF NORMAL MOST LOCATIONS.

43

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF CYCLE
WEATHER PATTERN IS SHIFTING TO A MUCH BREEZIER TO WINDIER
PATTERN STARTING TODAY AND...IN ADDITION...BY LATE TONIGHT AND
SUNDAY...A MORE UNSETTLED ONE. THE MAIN AVIATION IMPACT THROUGH
THE NEXT 24HRS WILL BE INCREASING WINDS...INCLUDING AN INCREASING
RISK OF MOUNTAIN WAVE ACTIVITY ALONG/EAST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN
CHAIN. GUSTS TO BETWEEN 35 AND 45KTS WILL BE COMMON AT LVS AND
TCC...BUT HIGHER GUSTS TO NEAR 50KTS ARE LIKELY AT SCATTERED
LOCALES BETWEEN RTN...CQC AND SRR. SOME POTENTIAL FOR MVFR CIGS AT
FMN AFTER ROUGHLY 09Z SUNDAY...A LITTLE LOWER CHANCE AT GUP...
ALONG WITH A CHANCE OF SPOTTY -RA AND -SN.
