...New SYNOPSIS, SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, FIRE WEATHER...

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 304 PM MST Mon Nov 28 2022

Strong to damaging winds are expected tonight over the Sangre de
Cristo and Sacramento mountains tonight ahead of the next storm
system. These strong winds will move down to the valley on Tuesday
as a cold front moves through the region. Meanwhile, the storm
system will also bring a round of snow for the northern mountains
late tonight into tomorrow with a few inches of accumulation
likely. Temperatures are expected to plummet Tuesday night into
Wednesday behind the system as skies clear and winds relax.
Temperatures will warm to above average areawide late week.
Moisture from the Pacific will stream in over the weekend ahead
of the next storm system with a increase in cloud cover and
precipitation chances expected.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Tuesday night)
Issued at 304 PM MST Mon Nov 28 2022

An upper level trough tracking eastward over the northern and
central Rockies will steer a strong polar jet stream over the
forecast area tonight and Tuesday with strong to very strong winds.
A sharp surface trough will also develop south of a 993 mb surface
low in eastern CO. Wind speeds at 700 mb over NM will commonly peak
from 40-60 kt, except up to 70 kt along and just east of the central
mountain chain, resulting in surface wind gusts generally from 40 to
65 mph, except up to 75 mph along the high peaks of the central
mountain chain and immediately adjacent east slopes (including
Dunken an Ruidoso). The strong winds will begin tonight over the
mountains and immediate east slopes of the central mountain chain,
but not until Tuesday morning across the bulk of the eastern plains.
The jet stream will exit around sunset enabling surface winds to
weaken.

In addition to the strong winds the upper trough will produce some
orographically enhanced snow over the northern mountains, especially
near the CO border.  The Tusas Mountains should be the big winner
with widespread 3-6 inch amounts and locally up to 8 inches mostly
late tonight through Tuesday morning. Along and north of Highway 60,
high temperatures will trend a few to 25 degrees cooler on Tuesday
compared to todays readings, while remaining about the same farther
south.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday through Sunday)
Issued at 304 PM MST Mon Nov 28 2022

After a frigid start Wednesday morning, high temperatures will
be below average across the region behind the Pacific cold front.
Temperatures will be 5 to 10 degrees warmer across the northwest
and north compared to Tuesday thanks to mostly sunny skies and dry
air in place. The cooldown will be most noticeable across the
eastern plains with highs 10-20 degrees cooler than Tuesday.
Return flow will set up as early as Wednesday afternoon across the
eastern plains as surface high shifts east into the southern
plains. Upper level flow backs to more southwesterly Wednesday
night ahead of the next upper level trough in the Pacific
northwest. This will result in warmer lows by about 5-15 degrees
compared to Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning. Temperatures warm to
near to just above average on Thursday across the region. Some
breezy southwest winds are expected across the eastern plains due
to the development of a lee surface trough/low in southeast
Colorado. Low temperatures will be even warmer Thursday night (5
to 15 degrees above average) thank to a increase in PWATS ahead of
the upper level trough.

Friday looks to be the warmest day of the forecast period
especially across the eastern plains thanks to downsloping west
wind. Westerly winds will strengthen even more east of the central
mountain chain. Upper level cloud cover could help limit the
mixing of stronger upper level winds down to the surface but Wind
Advisory criteria could be met across parts of the eastern plains
Friday. Meanwhile, a weak upper level trough will pass through
northern mountains bringing a round of snow showers. The weekend
is looking cooler and wetter thanks to a moist southwesterly flow
from the Pacific with lower elevation rain and mountain snow
expected for much of the region ahead of a deeper upper level
along the Pacific coast.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1046 AM MST Mon Nov 28 2022

With a sharp surface trough in the lee of the southern Rockies and
strengthening flow aloft, windy conditions are forecast along and
east of the central mountain chain today. Mountain wave is
forecast in the lee of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains today, then
in the lee of the central mountain chain tonight and Tuesday as
the flow aloft strengthens further. Mountain wave events often
produce squirrely winds at KLVS as the flow swirls around the
southern end of the Sangres. Strengthening flow aloft tonight will
result in fairly widespread low level wind shear impacting most
TAF sites. A disturbance will bring accumulating snow, IFR
conditions, and mountain obscurations to the northern mountains
late tonight and Tuesday. Additionally, west surface winds from
40-60 KT are expected areawide on Tuesday.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 304 PM MST Mon Nov 28 2022

An upper level trough will pass mainly north of NM tonight and
Tuesday cooling temperatures and raising humidities across the fire
weather forecast area, while producing a few to several inches of
snow in the mountains near the CO border. The bigger impact with the
system will be widespread strong winds as the polar jet stream
crosses tonight and Tuesday, and a sharp surface trough develops
south of a 993 mb surface low in eastern CO. Surface wind gusts will
commonly reach 40 to 65 mph tonight and Tuesday, except as much as
75 mph over the highest peaks of the central mountain chain and
immediately adjacent east slopes as a mountain wave sets up. Winds
will weaken shortly after sunset Tuesday evening as the jet stream
exits the area. Weaker winds are expected Wednesday, then winds will
become strong again on Friday over the mountains and eastern plains
as another upper level trough passes mainly to the north of NM. A
disturbance is then forecast to track northeastward over NM with a
chance for rain and mountain snow showers over the coming weekend.
