Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Albuquerque NM
330 PM MDT THU SEP 15 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
Overall active weather pattern into next week, with a couple of
down days. Main focus the next couple of days will be over the
east, then a shift to western areas are expected next week. In
between will be a lull in the activity Sunday into Monday.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Southwest flow aloft and southerly winds at the surface will
provide plenty of moisture for another active evening of showers
and storms for central and eastern areas. Already has been crazy
with over a dozen severe thunderstorm warnings and three tornado
warnings and counting.

Tuesday will be another active day from the central mountain chain
east to the TX border. Strong to severe storms cannot be ruled
out. The back door cold front is still on track for Friday into
Friday night. this added moisture will help fuel more storms for
the eastern half of our CWA on Saturday.

Sunday should be much less active, then we start to ramp up again
late Monday across the west. A closed low will develop this
weekend off the coast of Baja, CA. This storm will sit offshore
for a couple of days before moving inland early next week. This
will enhance thunderstorm prospects Monday in the southwest, all
of western NM Tuesday, and all areas Wednesday and Thursday. This
could be a very active time if the European is right, combining
the remains of a tropical system with the other closed low. CHJ

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
There will be a chance of showers and thunderstorms each afternoon
and early evening through the end of the week east of the
continental divide, and especially along and east of the central
mountain chain. An upper level low pressure system will cross the
northern and central Rockies, then another upper level low pressure
system will develop west of NM, both causing better moisture to
persist over these areas. From the continental divide westward drier
air will be in place with minimum humidities near or below 15% and
Haines indices generally in the 5 to 6 range.

Saturday night the upper low west of NM will retrograde
southwestward off the Baja Peninsula coast, while an upper level
trough crosses the central Rockies steering drier air over NM from
the west and northwest. Thunderstorms will be unlikely on Sunday,
and widespread Haines of 5 is expected as temperatures warm a few to
several degrees above normal.

The first half of the coming work week will bring increasing
moisture and thunderstorm chances as the Baja low gradually tracks
northeastward into the SW U.S. and an upper high wobbles around
Texas. Temperatures will also begin to cool and Haines indices
will trend downward as the better moisture arrives toward mid
week. 44

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF CYCLE
SCT to ISOLD storms are expected N of I-40 today, with SCT to
NMRS convection S of the interstate. Most of the activity will be
found E of the CONTDVD, and especially E of the central MT chain.
Some storms may turn severe across the plains. S and SE low level
winds may keep low level humidities moist enough for a return of
late night/early morning patchy MVFR and IFR conditions mainly
along and E of the Pecos River from the Caprock southward.
