.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 242 PM MST Mon Nov 7 2022

Above normal temperatures have been observed across much of
western New Mexico today, but low clouds slowed today's warming in
eastern areas of the state. Low clouds and perhaps some fog are
expected to return to southeastern and east central areas of the
state late tonight into early Tuesday morning. These clouds along
with some high cirrus clouds in other areas of the state may bring
temporary obstructions for tonight's lunar eclipse viewing. Breezy
conditions are expected during the day Tuesday with a possible
stray shower or thunderstorm in east central to northeastern New
Mexico. Winds will strengthen much more Wednesday and Thursday,
with wind directions beginning from the south southwest before
changing to more of a west northwest direction. Rain and a few
mountain snow showers will also develop late Wednesday into early
Thursday across northwestern and north central New Mexico. Cooler
temperatures will also move into the state by Thursday.

.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Tuesday night)
Issued at 242 PM MST Mon Nov 7 2022

An upper level low pressure system will sink southward off the
Pacific Northwest coast tonight through Tuesday, then begin shifting
inland over the Great Basin Tuesday night.  Broad scale convergence
under the system, and flow around a surface high pressure system
over the Great Lakes, will continue to draw a rich return flow of
low level moisture north and northwestward over NM's eastern plains
with widespread low clouds, as well as patchy fog and drizzle,
tonight through Tuesday morning with more fog and low clouds likely
Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.  Models are picking up on a
weak perturbation in southwest flow aloft that may destabilize the
atmosphere enough for some elevated rain showers in the mix as well
tonight through Tuesday.  The atmosphere may become unstable enough
east of the central mountain chain for a few thunderstorms Tuesday
afternoon and early evening, but this will be contingent on if and
how long it takes the low cloud shield to erode from the west in the
daytime sun.  At this time the best chance for isolated, garden
variety thunderstorms looks to be south southwest of Capulin to the
south central mountains. Because of all the cloud cover across the
east on Tuesday we are forecast high temperatures a little below
guidance.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday through Sunday)
Issued at 242 PM MST Mon Nov 7 2022

After beginning the morning with some low clouds and possible fog
and drizzle early Wednesday, the eastern plains will start to
clear out, and the primary weather concern will shift to wind. The
western ConUS low will open up into a trough, with a strong belt
of southwesterlies aloft moving into the American Southwest.
Current prognoses of 700 mb winds show southwesterlies of 35 to 50
kt over a large swath of the state on Wednesday while a lee-side
surface cyclone is expected to develop in eastern CO and deepen to
near 996 mb. The surface gradient orientation may cause winds to
be of a southerly or south southwesterly direction, perhaps
enhancing speeds in the north-south oriented valleys such as the
Rio Grande. For now, the highest speeds still remain over the
southwestern and northeastern zones where solid advisory level
criteria is looking to be met.

The trough/low will shift northeastward into the Rockies Wednesday
night into early Thursday, and while the bulk of the precipitation
will bypass New Mexico, northwestern to north central zones will
pick up some light rain and mountain snow showers with generally
1 to 3 inches of fresh snow accumulation above 8,500 ft. Winds
aloft will likely peak over NM during the Wednesday night to early
Thursday morning time frame, and this will be a good thing as it
will limit surface wind speeds due to the asynchrony of diurnal
mixing. The low will wobble into the northern Great Plains during
the daytime Thursday, causing the speed max aloft to shift
east/northeast of NM with a directional shift to more of a
westerly northwesterly direction. While winds at ridge top and
mountain peak level may turn gust and strong to severe Wednesday
night, the majority of zones will wait until the daytime Thursday
to experience the more widespread windy conditions (mainly along
and east of the central mountain chain). Precipitation would also
wane quickly from west-east during the day Thursday. Colder
temperatures will also be sweeping into NM on Thursday with cold
air advection likely continuing into early Friday as the surface
gradient alters to more of a north-south orientation and allows
for much lighter wind speeds. Friday night into Saturday morning
looks to be the coolest period. Temperatures will warm each day
this weekend, but daytime highs will still fall short of early
November climatology while dry conditions persist.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1025 PM MST Mon Nov 7 2022

Low-level southeasterly flow will continue through tonight and
continue to result in widespread MVFR and IFR conditions in low
clouds, drizzle and patchy fog east of the central mountain chain
tonight through Tuesday morning. The low clouds will likely erode
from the west during late morning or early afternoon. Elsewhere,
high clouds will continue lifting northeastward through NM. A few
showers or a rogue thunderstorm is possible east of the central
mountain chain later tonight into Tuesday morning as a weak jet
level wind maxima moves through. Low clouds and fog in eastern NM
is forecast to return around sunset Tuesday.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 242 PM MST Mon Nov 7 2022

A rich return flow of low level moisture will persist along and east
of the central mountain chain tonight through Tuesday night.  There
may even be a few light rain showers, thunderstorms, and some
drizzle east of the central mountain chain tonight through Tuesday
evening, but wetting precip is unlikely.  An upper level low
pressure system off the Pacific Northwest coast tonight and Tuesday
will shift inland over the northern and central Rockies Tuesday
night through Thursday strengthening the flow aloft over NM. A
surface trough will also develop with surface winds becoming breezy
to windy over northeast areas starting Tuesday, then breezy to windy
conditions over most of the forecast area as the jet stream crosses
Wednesday through Thursday. Gusts from 40-50 mph will be common
Wednesday through Thursday, except potentially near 60 mph late
Wednesday night into Thursday morning along and just east of the
central mountain chain when/where the flow aloft will be strongest.
In the wake of the storm system, high temperatures are forecast to
bottom out Friday around 7 to 16 degrees below normal, with much
lighter winds and widespread poor ventilation. Temperatures will
trend warmer over the weekend as a ridge of high pressure crosses,
but winds should remain light with widespread poor ventilation
persisting.
