What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Albuquerque, NM wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind advisory went out at Apr 16, 3:39 PM MDT, 34 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 16, 3:39 PM MDT, 34 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Albuquerque NM 339 PM MDT Mon Apr 16 2018 .SYNOPSIS... A Pacific trough is currently moving inland, and breezy to windy conditions have started to take shape across the Land of Enchantment and temperatures have risen above average. Through tonight and Tuesday, the trough will quickly move farther inland, tracking north of the Four Corners and bringing very strong winds aloft into New Mexico. Strong to severe winds will mix down to the surface Tuesday with areas along and immediately east of the central mountain chain observing potentially damaging wind gusts. Widespread critical fire weather will also be prevalent, as will areas of blowing dust, on Tuesday as very dry conditions hold. A cold front will sweep in from the west Tuesday and Tuesday night, and by Wednesday daytime high temperatures will run near to slightly below normal. A brief respite is then expected on Wednesday as a weak ridge of high pressure moves over New Mexico. Showers and thunderstorms will then be possible in the far eastern plains of New Mexico Thursday as the dryline moves into the state. Breezy to windy conditions will redevelop Thursday with western New Mexico having to contend with critical fire weather again. Any thunderstorms will gradually shift east into Texas throughout the day Friday while some rain and high elevation snow showers take shape over northern New Mexico. && .DISCUSSION... Vertical mixing is coming to fruition this afternoon, despite the extensive high cirrus clouds today. Winds will gradually diminish in lower elevation areas this evening, however the higher terrain areas (especially in western NM) will tend to stay gusty, if not increase overnight. The trough axis is currently draped across northern CA and will be trekking east northeast over NV and UT overnight with the stout mid to upper level jet rounding its base. Forecast models have trended northward with the track and the placement of the jet overnight into Tuesday, but nonetheless very strong winds will pour over the state with 700mb wind speeds exceeding 50 to perhaps 70 kt through this time. To account for this, a high wind warning will be issued overnight for the Chuskas, expanding into many other western, central, and eastern zones into Tuesday along with some wind advisories in a few lower elevation western zones. Along with the more northward jog of the upper jet, the lee side surface cyclone will not induce quite as strong of a gradient as was advertised yesterday, but still easily conducive to high wind warning criteria. Winds will likely begin to subside some after the Pacific cold front moves into western zones Tuesday, and temperatures will also likely peak in these western zones before noon, running below normal. Meanwhile the eastern zones will hold above average by 5 to 10 degrees. Blowing dust was kept in the weather grids, and could prove additionally hazardous to the expansive critical fire weather and potentially damaging gusts of 60 to 70 mph. The trough will quickly propagate east of the Rockies Tuesday night, deepening into a low. This will quickly relax the gradient aloft and at the surface over NM with a shortwave ridge briefly building over NM. High temperatures will run a few degrees higher in western zones on Wednesday, but will remain near to slightly below normal across central to eastern zones in the wake of Tuesday's front. The dynamic and progressive flow will offer another round of unsettled weather by Thursday as a Pacific low crosses central CA and southern NV. This nature of this system (being a closed low with slower propagation speed) will draw stronger southerly winds into NM, along with a developing dryline in the eastern part of the state. Along and east of the dryline, south southeasterly return flow off of the Gulf of Mexico will quickly usher in higher dewpoints and fuel for isolated to scattered storms, some of which could turn strong to severe given favorable veering wind profiles, deep layer shear, and unstable temperature lapse rates. Farther north, a few rain and high elevation snow showers will start to take shape near the NM-CO border Thursday, expanding into Friday as the Pacific low arrives and provides better dynamical forcing. The dryline would likely still be responsible for showers and thunderstorms in the eastern plains early in the day, but prospects will dwindle as the boundary exits into TX late Friday. No prominent upper level features are advertised into the weekend, but some modest subtropical moisture could still try to sneak in from the south. At this time the forecast package will continue with cooler than normal temperatures Saturday, rising back to normal in the west by Sunday with no POPs just yet. 52 && .FIRE WEATHER... ...WIDESPREAD CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON... ...WIDESPREAD EXTREMELY CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS TUESDAY... An exceptionally dry air mass is in place across NM today with dewpoints in the teens across the eastern plains and in the single digits with some below zero values across central and western NM. These dewpoints will translate into very low relative humidity values across the region, ranging from 4 to 7 percent across most of the area this afternoon through early evening. Daytime heating will allow stronger winds aloft to reach the surface this afternoon and early evening with southwest winds 20 to 30 mph with gusts 35 to 45 mph. Haines values this afternoon and evening will be near 6, so the potential for raid fire growth will be high. Red Flag warnings are in effect for the entire area through 9 PM MDT this evening. Poor recoveries are expected tonight across all of the area, except the far northern mountains, as a result of a very dry air mass in place and southwest winds in the 10 to 15 mph range through the overnight hours. These poor recoveries will set the stage for extremely critical fire weather conditions on Tuesday. Deep surface low pressure will form in eastern CO Tuesday and move eastward into western KS by late afternoon, while a Pacific cold front will enter western NM early Tuesday morning and then race eastward to the eastern plains by Tuesday afternoon. A band of very strong winds aloft will cross NM late Monday night through Tuesday evening. The combination of the factors will cause a strong surface pressure gradient and allow very strong winds aloft to reach the surface. West to southwest winds Tuesday will peak between 30 and 45 mph with gusts 50 to 70 mph. Minimum relative humidity will fall below 10 percent Tuesday and will be as low as 5 to 7 percent in the eastern plains. The strongest winds and gusts will occur along and eastward of a line from the north central mountains southward to the Manzano Mountains. Haines values will range from 5 to 6 in the Middle Rio Grande Valley and east of the central mountains. The very strong winds combined with very low relative humidity will produce extremely critical fire weather conditions with the potential for rapid fire weather growth in the high Haines areas. A ridge of high pressure aloft will move across northern and central NM Wednesday. South winds Wednesday will be 10 to 18 mph across the eastern plains and less than 12 mph across the rest of the region. Minimum relative humidity will still be in the single digits, except for a few locations in the lower teens in the northern mountains. Surface low pressure will form in southern UT Thursday, and this will generate breezy south winds across the region with speeds ranging from 20 to 30 mph and gusts to near 40 mph. In the eastern plains and adjacent highlands, this southerly flow will increase low level moisture and relative humidity will range from the upper teens to near 30 percent during the afternoon hours. To the west, a drier southerly flow from northern MX will keep relative humidity in the single digits and lower teens. Critical fire weather conditions are expected to develop across central and western NM Thursday afternoon and early evening. Thunderstorms will expand in coverage across the eastern plains late Thursday afternoon and evening and then continue overnight into Friday. Rain and elevation snow will develop across northern NM Thursday night into Friday, as an upper low from the southern Great Basin moves eastward. As a result of increasing moisture in eastern and northern NM Thursday night into Friday, relative humidity will stay above critical thresholds Friday afternoon. A Pacific cold front will cross NM on Friday. West winds associated with the cold front will range between 20 and 30 mph and could produce a few hours of critical fire weather conditions in portions of south central NM Friday afternoon. Cooler temperatures and relative humidity greater than 15 percent across the entire area on Saturday will reduce fire weather risk. Temperatures will remain seasonably cool on Sunday with light winds and relative humidity mainly above 15 percent, except in portions of western NM. 28 && .AVIATION... 18Z TAF CYCLE Southwest flow aloft will transport high clouds across northern and central NM today and tonight. Cloud bases will generally be aoa 15K feet AGL, and VFR conditions are expected through 18Z Tuesday. Southwest winds will increase today across most of the region during the afternoon with 20 to 30 knots sustained and gusts 30 to 40 knots. An approaching upper level disturbance in the Great Basin will keep southwest winds between 10 and 20 knots tonight. A Pacific cold front will move through western NM between 12Z and 15Z Tuesday, causing winds to shift to the west and west southwest with gusts to around 40 knots along and behind the front. Ahead of the cold front south to southwest winds will gust between 25 and 40 knots Tuesday morning in central and eastern NM. KLVS, KRTN, KSRR and other airports immediately to the east of the central mountains could see wind gusts in the 40 to 50 knot range Tuesday morning. Very strong, potentially damaging, winds are expected across the region Tuesday afternoon and early evening. 28 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
