...STRONG TO SEVERE WINDS EXPECTED TODAY IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN
NEW MEXICO...

...SEVERE WINDS POSSIBLE AGAIN ON FRIDAY IN NORTHEASTERN AND EAST
CENTRAL NEW MEXICO...

.A Pacific storm system will approach New Mexico today into
Friday, bringing very strong winds aloft and deepening low 
pressure at the surface. This scenario will yield strong winds
over portions of central New Mexico today with severe gusts
expected farther east across the plains of the state. A cold front
will eventually work into the state, and as it makes its way into
the plains early Friday, a resurgence of the winds is expected
with gusts turning severe once again.

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.
