What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this high wind 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 high wind warning went out at Mar 12, 3:49 PM MDT, 17 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 12, 3:49 PM MDT, 17 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Albuquerque NM 349 PM MDT Tue Mar 12 2019 .SYNOPSIS... Weather conditions will be fickle and unsettled over the next few days. A potent Pacific low pressure system continues to approach New Mexico, drawing in copious amounts of moisture ahead of it. This will continue to lead to scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms across northern and central New Mexico through the evening with strong to severe thunderstorms expected, primarily in the eastern half of the state. As the Pacific cold front sweeps eastward across the Land of Enchantment overnight, look for snow levels to lower while the threat of severe thunderstorms diminishes toward midnight. Snowfall accumulations will be most significant in the higher elevations above 8,500 feet, but some light snow could be observed as low as 6,000 feet through Wednesday morning. A dangerous high wind scenario will then unfold on Wednesday as the Pacific low rapidly strengthens as it exits northeastern New Mexico. Strong to severe wind gusts will inundate much of the state throughout the day Wednesday with areas along and east of the central mountain chain observing the highest wind speeds of 60 to 75 mph. Winds will drop significantly on Thursday, but lingering precipitation could continue over the northern mountains and surrounding highlands of northeastern and central New Mexico. && .DISCUSSION... Overall, most of the qualitative and general sensible weather elements seem to have been well forecasted by preceding shifts, but this forecast package has plenty of challenges regarding quantitative precipitation amounts, timing of the lowering of snow, and of course the finer details of the severe threat in the east this evening. Pacific low has moved inland over southwestern AZ with mid- tropospheric pressure heights of about 548 decameters with a healthy plume of moisture visibly evident on water vapor and other satellite channels. The strongly diffluent flow ahead of the low is providing widespread and strong upward forcing amid the juicier and high PWAT airmass, and low level moisture and instability fields are catering to scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms. Cells should continue turn more numerous and intense through the evening, with the strongest axis of lift likely preceding the main north-south baroclinic zone as it overtakes the central mountain chain and progresses toward the eastern plains. HRRR follows this thinking, and peering through some of the other noise, the local WRF and other short term, higher resolution guidance does too. Will keep the Winter Storm Warnings intact, however have high concerns that not much impact from snow accumulation will really hit parts of the northwest highlands (Cuba) and the far upper Rio Grande (Taos). Much of the eastern plains should be void of precipitation by Wednesday after daybreak with the focus remaining over the higher terrain of western and central NM, and more specifically the northern mountains. Snow levels will begin raising through the late morning and into the afternoon, creeping up from roughly 6,000 feet up to 7,000 to 8,000 feet. This could allow opportunity for early cancellations of some of the lower terrain zones in the Winter Storm Warning. Meanwhile the higher elevations above 8,000 will continue racking up the snow and blowing snow with the northern high peaks observing impressive totals over one to two feet. The bigger story for many zones will be the horrendous winds. Forecast models continue to show dramatic cyclogenesis (bombogenesis) as the upper low crosses the northeast corner of NM and enters western KS (about a 21 decameter drop at 500 mb over a span of 12 to 15 hours!). The surface low is also advertised to be record-breaking as it deepens to 969 mb per the GFS model for Wednesday afternoon. The flow at 700 mb is still advertised to be beyond stout with widespread 60 to 80 kt speeds across NM. Needless to say, many of the High Wind Watch zones will be upgraded to a warning, and will be doing that with this package. Blowing dust could be limited by recent precipitation, but blowing snow will cause further impacts in high terrain areas. Winds will gradually abate Wednesday night, but will be slower to do so northeastern NM where the back door cold front will have entered with a stiff surface pressure gradient due to the proximity of the KS surface low. Precipitation will also dwindle more Wednesday night into Thursday, except in the northern mountains and adjacent highlands. In the wake of the low exiting to the central plains, a subsequent short wav will keep perturbed flow over northern NM with orographics staying sufficiently strong to keep northern mountain snow persistent, occasionally seeping into adjacent highland areas. Otherwise winds will be notably less through the day on Thursday, but still windy in far northeastern plains. In the extended forecast, Friday still appears to be a relatively down day with just light flurries possible in the northern mountains while below normal temperatures continue area wide. The next Pacific low that is set to cross NM on Saturday still appears fairly anemic with regards to forcing and moisture, but the GFS does introduce isolated to scattered light precipitation over the state. Another ill-formed wave could move over the state by Monday of next week. 52 && .FIRE WEATHER... A broad upper level low pressure system centered south of Phoenix this afternoon will migrate northeastward across NM for the remainder of this afternoon and tonight with widespread wetting precipitation in the form of rain showers, thunderstorms and mountain snow. Some storms will be capable of producing strong wind gusts over 60 mph and large hail, especially east of the continental divide. A Pacific cold front will cross with a wind shift out of the west and southwest this afternoon and evening. The front will drop the snow level down to around 6500 feet, but accumulations will generally remain above 7000 feet with several inches above 8000 feet. Wednesday, winds will become very strong as a surface low bombs out in eastern CO with record breaking low pressure for that area. Meanwhile, the jet stream will cross southern NM as a secondary shortwave trough crosses the state from the northwest. West wind gusts from 50 to 60 mph will be common, with a broad area of damaging wind gusts around 75 mph expected across much of the east central and southeast plains. Winds will weaken gradually with sunset, while remaining hazardous through the evening, and even into Thursday behind a back door cold front across the northeast corner of NM. Accumulating snow is forecast to linger through Wednesday evening in the northern and western mountains, where the 24 hour snow accumulations (tonight through Wednesday night) should reach several inches to near 1 foot, except over 18 inches in the northern mountains above 8500 feet. The chance of precipitation will linger over parts of the state Thursday through the end of the week as three additional shortwave troughs cross in succession. None of them look very strong, but portions of the mountains could receive wetting accumulations. Areas of poor ventilation will also be expected. 44 && .AVIATION... 18Z TAF CYCLE Stubborn IFR conditions in low clouds and mist on the eastern plains should lift some this afternoon, but flight categories will probably remain restricted in many locations until a line of strong-to-severe thunderstorms passes this afternoon and evening. With a strong upper level low pressure system moving over the state, precip should get started in the mountains and along the AZ border early this afternoon. Thunderstorms will become more prevalent east of the continental divide, and especially along and east of the central mountain chain where the line of strong-to-severe storms will pass from west to east. One driver for the convection will be a Pacific cold front which will cross this afternoon and evening. Behind the front the snow level will drop near 6000 feet, enabling precip to change over to snow in some locations just before it takes a break late tonight. Accumulating now is forecast to continue through tonight in the northern mountains. Then, the chance for snow will return to western and northern areas Wednesday as another disturbance moves over the state. Very strong to potentially damaging west winds are expected Wednesday as the jet stream moves over southern NM and a record-breaking deep surface low develops in eastern CO and western KS. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

The area of far eastern Chaves and southern Roosevelt counties are under an enhanced risk for severe storms which will elevate the potential for damaging thunderstorms. Heavy wet snow will continue to fall above 9,500 feet today. Much colder air will move in from the west tonight and change rain over to snow in the lower elevations of northern and western New Mexico. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday A potentially widespread damaging wind event is possible Wednesday afternoon and evening from the Rio Grande Valley eastward across eastern New Mexico. Wind gusts of 50 to 65 mph will be common in the Rio Grande Valley while gusts of 65 to 80 mph are expected from the central mountain chain eastward onto the eastern plains. Winds will taper off Wednesday evening as an intense area of low pressure pulls away from the state. Meanwhile, heavy snow, strong winds, blowing snow, and reduced visibility are likely for much of northern and western New Mexico Wednesday. Snow will taper off over western New Mexico Wednesday evening but continue over the Sangre de Cristo Mountains through Thursday. Significant travel impacts are possible over northern and western New Mexico through Thursday morning, especially in the high terrain. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation may be required this afternoon and evening over eastern New Mexico due to a slight risk of severe thunderstorms. Contact local law enforcement or the National Weather Service at 1.888.386.7637 to report hail, wind gusts over 50 mph, flooding, funnel clouds, and tornados. Guyer
