Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Albuquerque NM
546 AM MDT Sat May 12 2018

.AVIATION...
12Z TAF CYCLE
Southwest winds will become breezy to windy again on today. An
Airport Weather Warning may again be needed for the Albuquerque
International Sunport on Saturday afternoon, where there is the
potential for wind gusts to reach 35 knots. Otherwise, VFR conditions
are expected areawide. High temperatures will fall a few to 6 degrees
below yesterday's readings across central and western areas.

44

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...328 AM MDT Sat May 12 2018...
.SYNOPSIS...
A low pressure system centered over Nevada will continue spreading
very dry, southwest winds over New Mexico through early next week.
Temperatures this weekend will trend slightly cooler than the past
several days however readings will still be above normal. Low level
moisture will slosh westward near the Texas state line beginning
Tuesday and introduce slight chances for showers and thunderstorms
each afternoon through Thursday. Meanwhile, central and western New
Mexico will remain very dry, warm, and breezy next week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
A quasi-stationary upper level low pressure system over the Great
Basin will continue a persistence pattern across NM thru early next
week. 00Z guidance agrees that the 555dm H5 low over NV today will
wobble around the area while filling to near 570dm thru Tuesday. At
the surface, a low pressure center will wander between southeastern
CO and northeastern NM thru Monday. This will allow winds to remain
elevated over the entire area. A dry slot focused over AZ and NM
ahead of the upper low will combine with elevated winds to create
daily bouts of critical fire weather conditions.

Minor change is noted beginning Tuesday as low level moisture begins
sloshing westward over eastern NM. This introduces potential for a
few showers and storms near the TX state line each afternoon through
Thursday. Shallow moisture may progress westward to the central mt
chain Wednesday and Thursday depending on the strength of convective
outflows. Meanwhile, central and western NM will remain very dry and
breezy with gradually warming temps.

.FIRE WEATHER...
...EXTENDED STRETCH OF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE
AREAWIDE TODAY, THEN THROUGH MONDAY IN PARTS OF THE EAST...

A broad upper level low pressure system will remain stalled over the
Great Basin and gradually fill today through Monday, then weaken
further as it shifts slowly northeastward across the northern
Rockies Tuesday through Wednesday night. Winds aloft will remain
strong today and tonight, before weakening some Sunday. Some
stronger flow aloft will then persist across northeast areas on
Monday. A surface trough will also persist the lee of the Sangre de
Cristo Mountains today through Monday, and there will be strong
atmospheric mixing in above normal temperatures helping to enhance
surface winds each day. Haines Indices will generally vary from 5 to
6 each day, except for some 4s along the AZ border today and Sunday.
With widespread sub-15% humidities and the ongoing drought, the
needed ingredients will be in place for daily rounds of critical
fire weather conditions. There will also be areas of poor humidity
recovery tonight, and locally poor recoveries Sunday night.

Red Flag conditions will be most widespread today, when they will
reach all zones. Winds will also be strongest today, when gusts will
vary from 40 to 50 mph. Relatively strong winds have been forecast
to persist along and east of the central mountain chain on Sunday,
with weakening winds expected in the west.  However, the latest
model runs show some of the strongest winds aloft (700-500 mb layer
average speeds in the 30-37 kt range) over south central to
southwest parts of the fire weather forecast area.  Thus, with this
morning's forecast package, we are upgrading eastern areas to a Red
Flag Warning for Sunday, and issuing a Fire Weather Watch for the
Middle Rio Grande Valley and West Central Highlands. We are also
issuing a Fire Weather Watch for northeast areas on Monday, where
lingering (but weakening) stronger flow aloft and lee side troughing
are forecast to persist. Weaker but still gusty winds elsewhere on
Monday will bring a long awaited reprieve from critical fire weather
conditions.

Tuesday, winds will be weaker overall, but a weak upper level trough
crossing from the southwest could spark some high based, gusty virga
showers. It may also draw the dry line into eastern parts of the
state with some thunderstorms. Wednesday, a back door cold front is
forecast to sag into the northeast and possibly the east central
plains with better moisture and a better chance for thunderstorms.

The latter part of the work week will feature strengthening winds
and well above normal high temperatures again as an upper level low
pressure system moves into the Desert Southwest from the west.
Another round of critical fire weather conditions will be possible.
