Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Albuquerque NM
317 PM MST Wed Jan 4 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Major winter storm to impact northern and eastern NM into Friday.
A quick warm up this weekend into Monday, then a disturbence early
next week with some cooling. We will be upgrading the winter storm
watches with winter storm warning and advisories. See coordination
segment at the end of this product.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Strong backdoor cold front will enter northeast NM tonight and
spread south and west Thursday into Thursday night. Storm over the
Pacific Northwest will move southeast and begin impacting the
northern mountains late tonight and other areas later Thursday and
Thursday night. Precipitation will subside Friday. The combination
of the colder air and increase in pacific moisture and resulting
instability will create impressive snowfall over a good portion of
northern and central NM. High peaks of the San Juan and Sangre de
Cristo Mountains could reach 2 to 3 feet. Interstate 25 from
Glorieta Pass to the CO border and much of I 40 will be
significantly impacted. Enough wind for blowing and drifting snow
mainly in higher elevations. Wind chills will drop below 0 in the
northern mountains and much of the east Thursday night and Friday
morning.

Dry and milder conditions will commence this weekend, but highs could
be tempered by the fresh snow cover. A disturbance early next
week will bring decent chances of precipitation across the
northwest. CHJ

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Cloud cover will increase the rest of today with humidity values
generally above 20 percent. Wind speeds will be gusty at times,
especially favoring the higher terrain and areas to the lee of the
central mountains. Some of this stronger wind will last well into
the overnight.

The combination of a strong jetstream and Arctic airmass across the
east will create wetting precipitation in the form of heavy snow
Thursday/Friday. NC and NE areas will be favored but snow
accumulations will also be found south of Interstate 40. The latter
half of Thursday and earlier half of Friday will be favored for the
precipitation. Wind will remain gusty at times...especially favoring
the western/central highlands due to the jet being overhead. Eastern
areas will observe a different wind regime due to the Arctic
intrusion. The higher ventilation rates will favor the western half
both Thu/Fri.

Gradual warming trend expected during the weekend with much drier
conditions depicted by all of the models. High temps should return
to near if not a few degrees above normal on Sunday. Ventilation
rates will be quite poor during the weekend.

A weaker Pacific disturbance is expected to move over the
central/southern Rockies early next week. Cloud cover looks to be
expansive with higher humidity in place. Some precipitation
potential favoring the NC and NW mountains. Ventilation should
improve a little bit on Monday but more so on Tuesday.

A stronger zonal wind pattern is shaping up for much of next week.
Similar pattern the area has been receiving the past month. This
means stronger wind flows over the higher peaks as well as areas to
the lee of the central mountains. Including downslope
wind/temperature impacts across the eastern half. High temps are
likely to be near to above normal during this period.

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF CYCLE
Cigs will gradually lower and increase as the day progresses into
the overnight. MVFR/IFR cigs/vis are likely to develop for at
least a short duration at FMN/GUP later tonight. Also looking at
SH over the northern mtns so mt tops will experience periods of
obscurations. Gusty wind will be the main aviation hazard across
the east this afternoon/evening with speeds up to 40 kt at LVS.
Slightly less at TCC.
