What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this winter storm warning 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 winter storm warning went out at Feb 21, 3:31 PM MST, 57 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 21, 3:31 PM MST, 57 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Albuquerque NM 331 PM MST Wed Feb 21 2018 ...SNOW ACCUMULATION TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY ACROSS NORTHWEST AND NORTH CENTRAL AREAS... .SYNOPSIS... A vigorous disturbance will eject from the southern Great Basin northeastward across the Four Corners and northern New Mexico tonight and Thursday with a few to several inches of snow accumulation. After a break in the weather Thursday night, an upper level trough will cross the Four Corners region from the west with additional snow accumulation across the west central and northern mountains, as well as the northwest plateau, late Friday through Friday night. A third system will clip northwest areas with a brief period of light snow accumulation Sunday. The start of the work week will feature warmer and drier weather, but another storm system may cross from the west with additional precipitation starting late Tuesday. && .DISCUSSION... Three westerly upslope flow events will impact northern and western areas tonight through Sunday. The tonight/Thursday system is projected to bring upwards of a foot of snow in the Tusas Mountains, with over half a foot in Dulce, so we are upgrading to a Winter Storm Warning in those two zones. We are also adding the Santa Fe Metro Area and Espanola zones to the Winter Weather Advisory. They are expected to come in with just under advisory criteria snow amounts in Espanola and Santa Fe, but the snow will impact roads during the morning rush hour. Also, the Pecos Wilderness Zone will be added as those high peaks should be able to wring out at least 4 inches of snow from the moist southwest flow that will cross with this disturbance. At this time, models aren't cranking out quite as much snow with the late Friday and Friday night system. However, the northern mountains should be able to squeeze out a few to around 6 inches of snow, especially on west slopes. That system will usher a sharp Pacific cold front across the state causing high temperatures to fall around 5 to 12 degrees between Friday and Saturday. Sunday's system will be a quick hitting upper level trough that may produce a few inches of snow across the northwest mountains, especially near the CO border. The system isn't particularly deep. The storm system for late next Tuesday looks like a deep upper level trough that could produce wintry precip over much of central and western NM. 44 && .FIRE WEATHER... Southerly surface flow will continue to stream just enough moisture into northern NM to be utilized by an approaching shortwave trough to produce another round of northern mountain snow tonight into Thursday. A few stray showers with some flurries early Thu morning could also reach valley locations across western and northern NM. This system will quickly exit the region Thu, with temperatures warming a few degrees, but remaining below normal. The highest snowfall amounts will be up to 6-9 inches across the Tusas, with a few inches possible over the surrounding highlands. Temperatures across the east will warm above normal with breezy southwest flow producing a few hours of elevated fire weather conditions Fri afternoon. The next Pacific storm system will bring more snow across western and northern NM Fri night into Sat. This system will be another quick-hitter with clearing skies by Saturday afternoon over much of the state. Sunday will see a general warming trend for most of the state with another weak shortwave trough bringing a few snow showers to the northern mountains along the CO border. MinRHs across the east will remain very low sparking critical fire weather conditions for portions of the NE plains Fri afternoon, and most of eastern NM this weekend and into early next week. The warming trend digs in Mon-Tue with breezy southwest flow bringing elevated fire weather conditions each afternoon Mon and Tue. Ventilation rates will remain excellent through the forecast period, except Mon when most areas will be fair with pockets of poor across the northwest mountains and central mountain chain. The next potent Pacific storm system looks to arrive mid next week. Model discrepancy still exists with timing and strength, but it appears the train of systems providing beneficial moisture will continue. 24 && .AVIATION... 18Z TAF CYCLE Patchy MVFR ceilings are lingering in portions of eastern New Mexico. These are projected to rise into the afternoon, but could be a bit more stubborn than forecast models are indicating. Another approaching disturbance aloft will being to spread moisture and lift into western and central New Mexico later this afternoon and into the overnight. Periodic MVFR to IFR ceilings and visibility will develop as snow falls with more persistent mountain obscurations and lower ceilings/visibility in higher terrain areas of northwestern to north central New Mexico tonight into early Thursday. Improving conditions are expected into Thursday afternoon. 52 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
