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 10, 3:05 AM MST, 33 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 10, 3:05 AM MST, 33 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Albuquerque NM
305 AM MST Mon Feb 10 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
Light amounts of rain and snow associated with a weakening cold
front and passing upper disturbance are expected through early this
afternoon over portions of the west and central. A short break is
expected later this afternoon, then conditions will rapidly
deteriorate tonight through Tuesday as a winter storm impacts New
Mexico. Moderate to heavy snowfall is expected to spread across the
mountains, portions of the Rio Grande Valley and eastern plains by
early Tuesday. Strong and gusty canyon winds will make for highly
variable snow amounts as well as areas of blowing snow through the
Albuquerque and Santa Fe metro areas. Travel will likely be impaired
across northern and central New Mexico due to the snow, wind and
colder than normal temperatures. The storm should exit the state by
early Wednesday, but colder than average temperatures persist
through the rest of the week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT) Weak subtropical
disturbance crossing NM this morning has aided in the development of
lower elevation rain and mountain snow. Snow levels should be around
6500 feet where it is precipitating this morning, and based on the
T/Td at the Sunport, it does not look like there will be a
transition to snow in the Albuquerque area later this morning, and
this agrees well with forecast soundings. That said, the Sandia,
Manzano and South Central Mountains should be picking up some snow.
Tusas look to largely be missing out as the disturbance is slightly
farther to the southeast than originally thought, but will keep all
current Winter Weather Advisories intact through the noon hour.

There still looks to be a break in the action for most areas this
afternoon, however, weak mid-level convergence may produce a light
band of rain/snow across northwest NM. Snow levels will rise this
afternoon thanks to weak southwesterly flow.

The next winter storm will impact NM tonight through Tuesday night.
A closed low, now off the coast of SoCal, will shift eastward along
the AZ/MX border today and tonight. As it does so, it now appears
that it will phase with a northern stream trough. Meanwhile, a
strong back door cold front will drop into NE NM this evening, and
push south and west through Tuesday morning. Strong PVA ahead of the
trough combined with very strong low and mid level frontogenesis and
above normal moisture will lead to widespread rain changing to snow
tonight. Snow will be the dominant precipitation type by sunrise
Tuesday, as the front will have pushed through the entire CWA. Snow
may be heavy at times with poor visibility. Additionally, behind the
back door front, breezy conditions can be expected across much of
the plains, leading to areas of blowing snow. However, as the front
pushes through the gaps of the Central Mountain Chain around 08-09Z
tonight, a 7 to 8 mb pressure difference between ABQ and CQC will
lead to the potential for high winds with gusts near 60 mph to
develop downstream of Tijeras Canyon in the ABQ Metro, with lesser
but still strong gusts around SAF and Glorieta Pass. Since this is
when the colder air will arrive, this will coincide with rain
changing over to snow, however, as we have seen in the past, the
east winds may leave a snow hole over portions of the Metro areas.
Given the likely varied snow amounts (higher over Rio Rancho, north
sides of Santa Fe; lower downstream of gaps), and the potential for
blowing snow and high winds, opted to go with a Winter Storm Warning
for the Metro areas. The remainder of the watch was converted mainly
into other Winter Storm Warnings, though portions of the southwest
and northwest will be upgraded to Winter Weather Advisories. Snow
will persist across the area on Tuesday, and will focus across the
southeast quarter or so of the area by late afternoon as the phased
low/trough finally shifts into NM. The system will continue to shift
eastward Tuesday night, and much of the precipitation will be gone
by sunrise Wednesday.

LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY)...

Despite leaning toward the colder guidance, forecast highs might
still be too warm for Wednesday depending on areal coverage and
amount of snow accumulations. Snow to taper off from northwest to
southeast by early Wednesday, but northwest flow may keep scattered
snow showers going over the Sangre de Cristo mountains through the
day. Winds will be gusty in areas that favor northwest flow, such as
Clines Corners.

Models continue to struggle with the timing and strength of
disturbances embedded in northwest flow aloft. One such disturbance
could bring snow to the northwest and north central Friday into
early Saturday and again Sunday into Monday. High temperatures will
remain mostly below normal over northern and central New
Mexico through early next week.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Critical fire conditions are not expected for the next several days.
Rather a winter storm will drop several inches of snow across the
majority of northern and central NM tonight through Tuesday night. A
strong back door cold front will bring breezy conditions to much of
the plains tonight, but will also bring the potential for gusts
upwards of 60 mph below gaps in the Albuquerque Metro early Tuesday
morning. Below normal temperatures will be the rule for much of the
area for the next seven days. Much drier weather will be on tap
after Tuesday night until next weekend or early next week when
additional storm systems may impact NM. Periods of poor ventilation
will be the rule for the next several days.

34

&&

.AVIATION...
06Z TAF CYCLE

Backdoor cold front will continue to push wwd into the RGV and KSAF,
KABQ and KAEG tonight with gusts of 25 to perhaps 30 kt most likely
at KABQ. Conditions will deteriorate further after midnight,
especially across central New Mexico where areas of rain and snow
will develop with widespread MVFR to localized LIFR conditions. A
break in the precipitation is forecast Monday afternoon with most
areas returning to VFR before a major winter storm system arrives
late Monday night into Tuesday morning.
