Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Albuquerque NM
250 PM MDT MON JUN 13 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
The last active weather day for a while may go out with a bang as
a tornado watch is in effect for northeast NM. Line of storms is
located from central San Miguel to eastern Colfax counties and
looking impressive.

The main weather story after today will be dry weather with a
significant warming trend. Highs will be above normal from
Wednesday through next weekend, and they will reach the century
mark or higher over much of eastern NM. ABQ to Socorro and around
FMN may reach 100 as well for a couple of days. Our far southeast
zones may get a thunderstorm or two late Wednesday, otherwise it
will be dry through at least this next weekend.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Line of storms turning severe over northeast NM. Threat will
continue into this evening, including isolated tornadoes. Most of
the activity will be gone by midnight.

The remainder of the forecast will be dry with just one or two
exceptions. A lingering shower could still pop up over the
northern mountain peaks Tuesday afternoon. Coverage though will
be small with little or no rain from them. A dryline may drift
west into far eastern NM Wednesday and could become active late
Wednesday into Wednesday night. Then a strong high pressure area
will settle in over NM and linger into next week. Forecasted 500
mb heights reach 600 decameters on both the GFS and ECMWF models.
Dry and hot will be the rule Thursday through at least the
weekend. Record highs could be approached by Friday over much of
the area. A weak back door cold front may slip into northeast NM
over the weekend but may only bring slight cooling. Moisture from
the south could creep into the state next week. Models have been
inconsistent on this, however. Would think the strong high would
suppress any activity.

CHJ

.FIRE WEATHER...
West to southwesterly breezes have picked up today across western
and central NM for the first time in quite a while. Low level
dewpoints are decreasing as we continue to mix some of the drier air
aloft downward. Meanwhile, a wind shift slid into much of eastern NM
early this morning, which allowed dewpoints to rise into the 60s. A
broken line of thunderstorms have developed east of the Sangre de
Cristo Mountains and this line is expected to shift eastward toward
the TX/OK borders through the afternoon and early evening. Wetting
rains are expected as well as some severe weather.

A strong dry slot will move overhead on Tuesday after todays weak
trough slides into the plains. Though temperatures will change
little from today, humidities will decrease.  In fact, several hours
of single digit humidities are expected from the middle Rio Grande
Valley westward as well as across portions of east central NM.
Haines will also increase, with widespread 5 and 6 Haines expected.
Winds are not expected to be quite as strong as today, but a few
breezes are still expected along and east of the central mountain
chain.

On Wednesday, models continue to show some mid level moisture
creeping into the east central plains, which may allow a few
thunderstorms to develop in the afternoon. Elsewhere, hot, dry and
unstable conditions will be the rule. Single digit humidities are
expected for 5 to 12 hours across most areas along and west of the
Rio Grande Valley, and at least a few hours are also expected across
the northeast.  Breezy to windy conditions will also return to
northeast NM, and several hours of critical fire weather conditions
will be possible. However, the mosaic of greenup and soil moisture
will be a concern.

Upper level high pressure will build over the state Thursday and
Friday, and will continue into the weekend. Precipitation chances
will be non-existent, but temperatures will increase and humidities
will be very low. Poor relative humidity recoveries are expected
each night across the majority of central and western NM. Daytime
humidities will be in the single digits for most areas for several
hours. Could see some critical fire weather conditions again on
Thursday across northeast NM, and thereafter, high Haines and
SuperHaines are expected Friday through the weekend.

Looks like the upper high will stay over the area into early next
week. Will need to continue to watch for smoke concerns if fires get
going and the smoke gets entrained into the the high center over NM.
Have a hard time believing that there will be much moisture seepage
from the south early next week given the strength of the high, and
models continue to flip back and forth on the topic.

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF CYCLE
Boundary that moved into eastern NM overnight will be a focus
for thunderstorm development this afternoon. Storms are already
developing along and just east of the central mountain chain. Some
storms are expected to be severe with large hail and damaging
winds across far NE NM in the vicinity of the boundary. Otherwise,
a few dry storms will be possible across W and especially NW NM.
Gusty winds will be the main threat with these storms.
Additionally, breezy southwest winds will increase this afternoon.
Gusts near 35kt will be possible. These winds will lower around
sunset and most storms should have moved out of the area by sunset
as well.
