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 Dec 11, 10:32 AM MST, 3 hours 58 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 11, 10:32 AM MST, 3 hours 58 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Albuquerque NM 1032 AM MST Sun Dec 11 2022 ...New AVIATION... .UPDATE... Issued at 416 AM MST Sun Dec 11 2022 Visibilities have fallen sharply at Clovis to a 1/2SM with satellite depicting more lower clouds and fog advecting further into eastern Chaves County, Roosevelt County, and Curry County this hour. Have gone ahead and issued a Dense Fog Advisory through 11am MST for these areas. && .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 117 AM MST Sun Dec 11 2022 Low clouds and patchy fog will linger over southeastern New Mexico this morning, but this should clear and erode away, leaving mostly sunny skies across northern and central New Mexico by the afternoon. High temperatures today will be a few to several degrees above average, and breezy conditions will develop by the afternoon. A strong low pressure system will approach New Mexico on Monday and Tuesday, bringing a fast-moving Pacific cold front along with it. In addition to the colder temperatures, snow will accompany the front as it moves across western and central New Mexico on Monday with snow decreasing and dwindling as the front makes it into eastern parts of the state. This weather disturbance will also cause winds to strengthen significantly Monday and Tuesday. Wind speeds on Monday will be highest from the south central mountains and highlands into the northeast highlands where gusts of 50 to 60 mph will be possible. The focus for strong winds on Tuesday will center over the central mountains and highlands into the east central plains where gusts of 45 to 55 mph will develop. Temperatures will remain chilly and below average through the remainder of the week. && .SHORT TERM... (Today through Monday) Issued at 117 AM MST Sun Dec 11 2022 Abundant boundary layer moisture is advecting into far southeastern NM this morning, around the western periphery of a 1024mb MLSP surface high centered over northern OK. Low clouds and fog are associated with this airmass and will monitor the need for any Dense Fog Advisories for Chaves, Roosevelt, and Curry Counties this morning as our neighboring offices in TX have done. Any fog development is expected to burn off by late morning, with redevelopment likely again tonight in the same areas of the Caprock and lower Pecos River Valley. Meanwhile, a 530dm H5 upper low centered just off the OR coast is the main weather feature slated to roll through the western CONUS over the next 72hrs. Southwest winds begin to strengthen today with breezy to locally windy conditions during the afternoon period. Have nudged highs a bit warmer than guidance through the northeastern plains and central highlands given the downsloping component of the winds. Went cooler than guidance over southeastern and east-central parts of the forecast area due to the aforementioned fog potential delaying diurnal heating there. Daytime highs from Clovis to Portales to Roswell will greatly depend on when any low clouds or fog burn off today. The H5 upper low tracks over UT filling to 539dm with a strong 50-60kt H7 jetmax moving over south-central and southeastern portions of the forecast area. Vertical mixing looks to be the main mechanism to translate these stronger winds toward ground level through the day Monday. The latest 00Z suite of guidance has come down a nudge in overall wind speeds. However, given the favored setup with a 993mb MSLP surface low just east of the Front Range tightening the sfc pressure gradient through northeastern NM, have gone ahead an expanded the High Wind Watch to include the Northeast Highlands (Las Vegas) and South Central Highlands. Southwest winds quickly turn westerly with brief bouts of strong gusts likely to accompany the fropa west to east across the state through Monday. Aside from the strong winds, precipitation looks to enter western NM Monday morning, reaching the Central Mountain Chain Monday afternoon. Snow levels look to start off fairly low near 5000', staying near ground level across western and central NM through the day Monday. The Pacific front and orographic uplift along western slopes will be the main forcing with snow favoring along and west of the Continental Divide and high terrain of the northern mountains through Monday. Downsloping looks to limit precipitation potential for western and central valley areas. Southwesterly winds riding up into the Upper Rio Grande could enhance precipitation potential near Taos making this area the exception to the rule Monday afternoon. Winter weather advisories look likely for the western and central high terrain zones. Snow amounts are borderline warning however, and there is potential for blowing snow to producing brief winter storm conditions with the fropa. Will hold off issuing any winter highlights at this time and let the day shift have another go at determining the need for advisories or warnings. && .LONG TERM... (Monday night through Saturday) Issued at 117 AM MST Sun Dec 11 2022 The upper low will advance Monday night into Tuesday morning with its center near the CO-KS border by daybreak Tuesday. Precipitation would have dispersed and dwindled considerably late Monday night with the baroclinic zone having shifted well east of NM. This will leave only some light showers persisting over the high terrain into Tuesday morning, mostly on orographically-favored, west- facing slopes as the flow turns more westerly. As the low deepens and shifts northeastward into NE through Tuesday afternoon, these orographics will stay at work with some modest instability also present due to the strength of the synoptic cold pool (-31 C at H5), and this will keep isolated light mountain snow showers going. The cold air aloft will ensure daytime high temperatures stay 5 to 15 degrees below average, and with such a pronounced pressure gradient present, a windy and very brisk day is expected. Wind chill values in the teens and even below zero will be possible, especially Tuesday morning and again overnight. Westerly winds will be strongest from the central mountains eastward along the I-40 corridor to TX where another round of wind advisories will likely be needed. Temperatures aloft will warm by 4 to 8 degrees C at H5 on Wednesday, but will still be anomalously cold (-20 to -25 C), and as the flow veers a bit more northwesterly, any temperature gains at the surface will be minimal. Orographics would wane in this slightly more subsident flow, and no showers are anticipated. As has been the case for the past few days, deterministic models are struggling with the pattern evolution toward the end of the week. There are continued indications that a mid latitude Pacific perturbation will be upstream with potential for it to roll inland and possibly impact the southern ConUS or Mexico, but this will be governed by a fickle and amplifying pattern characterized by a sharp ridge west of British Columbia and a vast, deep vortex over the Great Lakes region. Height and temperature fields aloft would seem to steer slightly below average, and the forecast temperatures remain below climatology with scant chances for precipitation built in next weekend when the aforementioned Pacific wave might make an appearance in NM. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 903 AM MST Sun Dec 11 2022 IFR low stratus deck is coming within a few miles of KROW, but doesn't appear to be making further progress based on the latest visible satellite imagery. So, VFR conditions prevail at TAF sites and are forecast to persist until later tonight at KROW and KTCC, when a larger area of low stratus/fog is forecast to develop. Higher forecast confidence on KTCC seeing IFR conditions late tonight into Monday morning thank KROW, where low stratus may once again flirt with the air field. Otherwise, MVFR conditions are likely in snow at KFMN and KGUP with a strong cold front late Monday morning, with IFR conditions possible. Increasing southwest flow will result in gusty winds this afternoon at KGUP, KLVS and KTCC. Winds aloft will increase further overnight through Monday morning. Areas of mountain obscurations will likely develop late Monday morning across far western NM. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 117 AM MST Sun Dec 11 2022 No critical fire weather concerns through the forecast period. Morning fog potential exists for the east-central plains today and Sunday morning. Southwest winds strengthen considerably Monday afternoon for south-central and central portions for the forecast area, turning westerly Tuesday. A winter storm system then rolls through the area with snow accumulations favoring the western slopes of the western and central NM, peaking in intensity Monday and tapering off through Tuesday. Temperatures trend well below normal behind the Pacific cold front Tuesday.
