What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this high wind 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 high wind warning went out at Mar 23, 3:27 AM MDT, 31 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 23, 3:27 AM MDT, 31 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Albuquerque NM 327 AM MDT Thu Mar 23 2017 .SYNOPSIS... Big weather changes such as windier, cooler, and possible wetter condtions will follow as a series of incoming storm systems impact New Mexico. The first storm system will impact the state today through Friday with strong winds central and east followed by precipitation favoring northern and western areas. The northern mountains will be favored for snow showers tonight. The second storm will clip the northern tier producing some snow showers across the northern mountains Saturday night into Sunday. The third more potent, long living system will impact the state Tuesday through Thursday of next week. && .DISCUSSION... The first incoming storm system will deepen this morning as it dives across the Great Basin, crossing NM this aftn before exiting tonight. Strong to damaging winds will develop this aftn across central and eastern areas where several wind and fire weather highlights have been issued through Friday (see fire weather discussion below). Meanwhile, precipitation will develop north and west today as the storm bears down on the state...with snow showers favoring the higher terrain/mountainous areas north and west....moreso the northern mtns tonight into early Fri. Some isolated thunderstorms could develop this aftn along and west of the centrl mtn chain and the extreme far SE Plains. As the system passes across the state before exiting tonight, look for temps to plummet at least 20-30 degrees today and Friday. Sat will see a brief break in unsettling weather as an upper level ridge builds over the area allowing temps to rebound 10-20 degrees. The second storm system will clip the northern half of the state Sat night into Sunday...with some precipitation favoring northern areas followed by breezes central and east. The third more potent storm system looks to be long lasting with widespread impacts across the state Tues through Thursday. It is possible that this system could produce widespread rain/snow showers along and north of the I-40 corridor. By the time the system exits out, another one will follow giving NM another persistent round of unsettling weather through the end of the week. && .FIRE WEATHER... Weather conditions will deteriorate today as an upper level trough races toward New Mexico. A cold front will approach from the west with showers and thunderstorms taking shape in central, north central, and west central portions of NM this afternoon. However, ahead of the frontal boundary, warm and well above average temperatures will prevail in the eastern plains of NM with a pronounced dry slot aloft moving overhead. In addition, a belt of very strong winds aloft will work into this area and mix down to the surface. This will exacerbate the warm, dry and critical to severe nature of this event. There is some uncertainty on the extent of how dry the atmosphere will get over the eastern plains, especially since very high surface dewpoints are currently in place. Yet, with gusts of 60 to 65 mph and the above normal temperatures and sufficient fuel loading, a Red Flag warning seems prudent for eastern NM zones today. The cold front will sweep into eastern NM tonight into Friday, finally dropping temperatures back below normal, and ultimately raising humidity. Temperatures will turn cold enough for some of the lingering showers to also change over to snow before they exit, mainly in the northern mountains and toward the Raton Pass. While humidity will raise and temperatures will be cooler in eastern NM on Friday, the winds behind the cold front will be brutal with gusts of 60 and perhaps 70 mph possible along the eastern tier of NM into west TX. Winds will also stay strong farther west to the central zones of NM, albeit not nearly as severe as in the eastern plains. The temperatures cool some in the Rio Grande valley, but conditions will remain quite dry in addition to the strong winds, and thus a Fire Weather Watch will be hoisted for FWZ106 with this forecast package. A welcome, albeit brief, respite from the strong winds will arrive on Saturday as a short wave ridge aloft traverses NM. Temperatures will rebound back above normal by 5 to 10 degrees across the forecast area, and good to excellent smoke ventilation is expected amidst the rising mixing heights. The next Pacific disturbance will be a fast-moving system, crossing NM Saturday night with winds aloft spiking again and another shot of cooler temperatures and precipitation. The drop in temperatures and the attendant precipitation will not be as substantial as today/tonight's system. Winds and humidity could briefly kiss critical thresholds in some east central zones Sunday afternoon. The repetitive cycle will continue into next week as another short wave ridge builds in early Monday, only to be followed by another disturbance during the middle of next week. This trough would have better potential to dig slightly farther south and be a bit deeper/stronger, potentially yielding more precipitation. && .AVIATION... 06Z TAF CYCLE VFR conditions are currently in place with just some breezy conditions lingering in some locations of New Mexico. However, conditions will deteriorate heading into Thursday morning with low clouds and perhaps MVFR/IFR ceilings developing in far eastern parts of the state through late morning. Stronger winds will also arrive Thursday along with increasing shower and thunderstorm activity in central, north central, and west central New Mexico. Winds will be strongest, and even severe, in eastern New Mexico where gusts could exceed 50kt. Farther west, any passing showers/storms could enhance wind gusts along with small hail. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
