Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Albuquerque NM
345 AM MST Sat Jan 21 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Precipitation will continue today over the west and central with
accumulating snow over the higher terrain, but any rain or snow
should taper off as it reaches the plains. West winds will
strengthen rapidly by this afternoon and even more tonight for much
of the east and south, with damaging wind gusts in excess of 60 mph
possible south of Interstate 40 and east of the Rio Grande Valley.
While precipitation tapers off overall tonight, the strong winds
will persist into Monday. Unsettled and colder weather will continue
into the middle of next week before a drying trend late next week.

.DISCUSSION...
Negative tilt trough continues to spread precipitation over the
forecast area from southwest to northeast, although it has been
tending to taper off as it reaches or shortly after it reaches the
plains due to downslope winds. Again trying to balance timing and
areal coverage of wintry highlights with necessity, areal coverage
and timing of wind highlights.  As some of the winter weather
advisories and winter storm warnings expire, high wind warnings and
wind advisories will go into effect.

Precipitation to taper off tonight, but winds to strengthen moreso
and may persist into Monday. The next system approaching from the
west will start increasing chances for snow over the northwest
quarter to third Sunday night into Monday, but snow looks to become
more widespread and frequent Monday night. Snow levels should be
lower Monday night as mt top temperatures fall to -8 to -10C after
warming to -1 to -3C Monday. There will also be more wind with this
system but the potential for damaging wind is less.

Mid to late week an upper trough will linger over the southern
Rockies but apparently chances for precipitation taper off each day.
Temperatures will be below average as a ridge develops to our west,
and brisk north winds prevail over NM. Models have exhibited some
variations on this theme, so details a bit fuzzy.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

The second upper level trough in the series will continue to impact
NM today and tonight. Initially, waves of precipitation will
continue to impact mainly western and central NM. Some light precip
may make it across the plains, but as downsloping winds ramp up this
afternoon, precip should have a harder time persisting across the
area. Snow levels will continue to lower today, to generally between
5000-6000 feet. Additional snow totals between 1 and 3 inches will
be common, though locally higher across the northern mountains. Much
of the precipitation should diminish near or shortly after sunset.

The winds will really start picking around 11am today especially
near and south of I-40 thanks to a 998-990mb sfc low over NE NM and
strong mixing. Winds will continue to increase this evening along
and just east of the central mtn chain where damaging winds with
gusts up to 70 mph are possible. High wind warnings and wind
advisories will be in effect this afternoon through 5 am Sunday.

A brief break is expected Sunday afternoon, though some breezes will
still be felt along and just east of the central mountain chain.
Then the effects of the 3rd system in the series will start to
impact northwest NM Sunday night. Though the center of the system
will cross the central Rockies, some energy will shift across NM
Monday and Monday night, expanding precipitation across the western
2/3rds of NM once again. Snow levels may be a bit higher with this
system, but strong winds will return.  Nearly all areas will see
breezy to windy conditions Monday.

Some showers will persist on Tuesday as some energy lags behind the
main system, but winds again will be the story, at least across the
east central plains where gusts between 45 and 50 mph will be
common. Elsewhere, expect colder temperatures.

Though the latter half of the week looks dry, it will remain cold.
High temperatures will be below normal areawide starting Tuesday and
will remain below normal through at least Saturday. Not much wind is
expected after Tuesday as well outside of a few gusts near Clines
Corners.

After mainly excellent vent rates today, ventilation rates will drop
into the poor category for much of western and central NM on Sunday.
Ventilation improves on Monday, except for a few central valley
locales. Further improvement is expected on Tuesday, but as both
mixing heights and transport winds decrease during the latter half
of the week, vent rates deteriorate once again.

34

&&

.AVIATION...
06Z TAF CYCLE
Western and central areas will experience rain and snow in the
valleys and snow in the mountains with extensive mountain
obscurations and IFR to LIFR conditions through the rest of the
night. Conditions gradually improving Saturday with mostly VFR
conditions after 19z with precipitation becoming more intermittent.
Meanwhile, strong to high winds are expected to develop Saturday
at most TAF sites, and continue trough much of Saturday night.
Strongest winds from KCQC to KSRR to Dunken with gusts of 55 to 65
knots.
