Area forecast discussion, Feb 5, 10:50 AM MST, 4 hours 15 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Albuquerque NM 1050 AM MST Sun Feb 5 2017 .AVIATION... 18Z TAF CYCLE VFR conditions to prevail the next 24 hours. Thick high clouds will approach NM tonight and signal the arrival of a potent jet stream from the Pacific. Strong westerly winds will become the focus for aviation impacts across NM after 15Z Monday. Gusts near 50kt are most likely along the east slopes of the central mt chain from near KRTN south to KLVS and KCQC eastward along I-40 to KTCC after 19Z Monday. Guyer && .PREV DISCUSSION...233 AM MST Sun Feb 5 2017... .SYNOPSIS... Strong to very strong west winds will be the main weather story tonight through Wednesday, especially along and east of the central mountains. High temperatures will range from 5 to 20 degrees above average through Tuesday, cooling somewhat Wednesday and Thursday. A Pacific storm system is expected to bring colder temperatures along with a chance of rain and snow to central and northern New Mexico next weekend. && .DISCUSSION... Zonal flow aloft will continue through Wednesday. Associated 80-100kt jet will move over NM beginning tonight and remain overhead through Monday evening. Enough Pacific moisture in the wly flow aloft is expected to combine with lift from the jet to bring chances for light rain and mountain snow to far northwest and north-central NM Monday night and Tuesday. Strong wly flow aloft continues Tuesday through Wednesday over NM as a broad 130-140kt Pacific jet moves in from the eastern Pacific across northern CA to the central and northern Rockies. Very strong to high winds appear likely from the central mountain chain east to the central and northeast highlands and across portions of the eastern plains Monday and Monday night and possibly into Tuesday. Hoisted a high wind watch for these areas Monday, Monday night and Tuesday. Strongest wind speeds are likely in the higher elevations of the Sangres and Sandia/Manzano mountains Monday afternoon and evening. Winds gusting as high as 70kt possible over the higher peaks Monday afternoon. Winds near mountain top level become more nwly Tuesday, resulting in strong to perhaps high winds for the central mountain chain along with the central highlands including Clines Corners. Flow aloft finally buckles late-day Wednesday with winds subsiding Wednesday night. Thursday looking like the best weather day of the work week with an upper level ridges building in from the west and light winds and temperatures around 10 degrees above average for early to mid February. West winds return Friday ahead of an upper level trough moving into southwest OR and northern CA. GFS and ECMWF agree that this system will slow as it translates east-southeast through the central Rockies on Saturday. The upstream upper level ridge along the west coast is forecast to amplify and force the upper trough now over CO to drop south through NM late next weekend. Still a lot of uncertainty this far out but confidence is growing that temperatures will drop closer to seasonal averages to perhaps below late in the work week and into next weekend. 33 && .FIRE WEATHER... A long stretch of above normal temperatures, mostly dry conditions, and bouts of stronger winds will warrant a close eye in the fire weather realm of the forecast. Winds are expected to abate some today with speeds still being highest over the Sangres and central mountains/highlands this afternoon, just not quite as high as was observed yesterday. However, the downsloping and consequential warming will lead to lower humidity near the interface of the highlands and high plains in east central NM, and this could lead to a couple hours of locally critical fire weather there this afternoon. Elsewhere lighter breezes will prevail today. Winds aloft will strengthen tonight into Monday as a short wave trough arrives from the Pacific, setting the stage for some windy and unsettled conditions Monday and Tuesday. Any moisture for precipitation will be limited and confined to the northern/northwestern mountains with meager snow accumulations, if any. The wind will be the bigger story, coupling with the above average temperatures and lower RH to invoke more widespread critical fire weather over the eastern plains. Fire weather watch remains in effect for both FWZ104 in northeast NM and FWZ108 in east central NM, however confidence in the critical conditions over the northeast is starting to crumble. It now appears RH is a bit more marginal, hovering closer to the 15 to 20 percent range while mid level temperature lapse rates are not as steep, giving Haines indices of only 2 to 3 Monday afternoon. As for areas a bit farther south, along and south of I-40, confidence is much higher in meeting critical thresholds for Monday afternoon. Winds aloft will not wane much at all Monday night or Tuesday as the gradient aloft stays strong and another northeastern Pacific wave moves across the northern Rockies. Any precipitation will remain light and confined to the same north central or northwestern zones, and will continue to be a sidebar to the winds. Fortunately, on Tuesday RH appears to rise a bit above critical thresholds. Still, the strong winds will be a concern with widespread gusts of 40 to 50 mph, and even higher to 65 mph or so over the higher terrain near the central mountain chain. The flow aloft will turn a bit more northwesterly on Wednesday with any precipitation exiting. Breezy to windy conditions will persist, with highest gusts again found over/near the central mountain chain, however speeds will be less severe than the previous two days. More tranquil flow will be established Thursday with above normal temperatures persisting, but the westerlies will quickly surge back up into Friday and Saturday as the next trough approaches. This late week and next weekend system will initially be more of a wind producer, but some cooler air could arrive by Sunday. && .ABQ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
