Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Albuquerque NM 1201 PM MST Wed Mar 1 2023 ...New UPDATE... .UPDATE... Issued at 1157 AM MST Wed Mar 1 2023 Updated zones to expand Wind Advisory to the Sandia and Manzano Mountains, Central Highlands, and Northeast Highlands until 9 pm this evening based on recent MOS and graphical guidance trends. && .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 219 AM MST Wed Mar 1 2023 Winds will be back on the uptrend today ahead of an approaching storm system, especially across the southern mountains and adjacent highlands where Wind Advisories are in effect. The storm system will begin impacting western New Mexico tonight with widespread snow that will transition east across the area through Thursday. Winter Storm Warnings and Winter Weather Advisories are in effect for much of western and northern New Mexico. The storm system will bring strong winds and much colder temperatures on Thursday, with the strongest winds across south central and southeast portions of the area where damaging wind gusts are possible. Winter weather impacts may continue across eastern portions of the state through Thursday evening. Colder conditions will follow on Friday, but a warming trend is forecast through the weekend into Monday with temperatures rising above normal across much of the area. Winds will be back on the uptrend by Sunday with strong winds continuing into early next week, especially across eastern New Mexico. && .SHORT TERM... (Today through Thursday) Issued at 219 AM MST Wed Mar 1 2023 Deep upper level trough has swooped into northern CA, attempting to close off around a 528 dam center. Meanwhile, a 300 mb 140 kt speed max will slide across the state today, helping to enhance winds at the surface. Strengthening southwesterly flow aloft will help to enhance orographic lift ahead of the incoming system. This will allow snow showers to get a head start across the Chuska and Tusas Mountains today. Model guidance is in good agreement of the trough forming a closed low early this morning in central CA before sweeping into the Desert Southwest. Track has trended further south, which will help to limit winds both today and Thursday. Nonetheless, advisory level magnitudes will exist across the southern high terrain and did hoist a Wind Advisory for the southwest mts, south central mts and their adjacent highlands and some of the neighboring lowlands for this afternoon. The main front begins pushing into the state Wednesday night, the timing and evolution of which is still debatable amongst short- range guidance. The finer details aside, winter precipitation and strong winds enter the arena Wednesday night, persisting through Thursday. Did go ahead and upgrade the Winter Storm Watch to a collection of Winter Storm Warnings and Winter Weather Advisories. A similar setup to past events is clear with this fropa, and the potential for snow squall type activity may be possible once again Wednesday night into Thursday morning. As the low approaches, easterly drainage winds across the northwest plateau may create some favorable deformation allowing areas such as Farmington to have a healthy bout of snowfall overnight. As such, did opt to include the northwest plateau in Winter Weather Advisory. The system blitzkriegs across the state within the day on Thursday, ejecting into the plains by the late afternoon. As it passes across the eastern plains, a gusty backdoor cold front digs down from southeastern CO. The uncertainty with this portion of storm's song is if it will retain enough moisture for additional snowfall amongst troublesome winds, and whether portions of northeastern NM will need its own set of Winter Weather Advisories. && .LONG TERM... (Thursday night through Tuesday) Issued at 219 AM MST Wed Mar 1 2023 The upper low will continue racing east Thursday night from over the TX Panhandle into OK. Strong winds will continue on the backside of the departing upper low Thursday evening, but will then trend down through the overnight hours. A few hours of snow and blowing snow are likely across the eastern plains near the TX border Thursday evening, but will be diminishing rapidly. A Wind Advisory may be required for windy conditions behind the backdoor portion of the cold front across the east central and northeast plains Thursday evening. Much colder conditions will follow Thursday night into Friday with below normal temperatures forecast. Friday will feel cold due to stronger west-northwest flow aloft resulting in breezy to locally windy conditions. Expect a brief break on Saturday followed by increasing westerly flow on Sunday with windy to very windy conditions forecast. The same goes for Monday and Wind Advisories will likely be required both days. The good news is a warming trend is forecast through the weekend into early next week that will take temperatures above normal most areas, but especially across the eastern plains due to downslope winds. The 00Z medium range model solution are at odds with a Pacific moisture tap developing going into Tuesday of next week, with the GFS once again the more bullish model and breaking out precipitation across much of northern and western NM. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1050 AM MST Wed Mar 1 2023 A low pressure system will approach from the west today, then cross late tonight through Thursday. Scattered rain and snow showers with mountain obscurations will favor western and north central areas for the rest of today. Snow will become widespread from the east slopes of the central mountain chain westward tonight, then the focus for rain and snow will spread to the area along and east of the central mountain chain on Thursday afternoon. Snow squalls will be possible as a gusty Pacific cold front dives through western and central areas late tonight and Thursday morning. Accumulating snow will impact many of the airports along and west of the central mountain chain late tonight through Thursday morning. Strong winds are also expected mainly over the mountains, south and east this afternoon, then over the mountains and southern areas tonight. A gusty backdoor cold front will produce strong north winds as it plunges southwestward through the eastern plains on Thursday, while strong northwest winds impact western, central and southern areas. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 219 AM MST Wed Mar 1 2023 ...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 11 AM THIS MORNING TO 6 PM MST FOR THE EAST-CENTRAL PLAINS AND THE MIDDLE RIO GRANDE VALLEY DUE TO VERY WINDY AND VERY DRY CONDITIONS... Critical fire weather conditions will return to portions of the east central plains and middle Rio Grande Valley this afternoon. Current swath of Pacific moisture creating scattered to broken cloud cover is expected to burn off, creating ample sunshine across central New Mexico by the late morning. Meanwhile, minimum RH will plummet below 15 percent across a majority of the eastern plains and southern portions of the Middle Rio Grande Valley. Moderate to strong southwest winds are expected once again today from the late morning into the early evening. Another potent storm system makes its arrival Wednesday night through Thursday, bringing accumulating snowfall and strong winds. Friday will bring quieter and drier weather, with breezy to locally windy conditions, warming temperatures through the weekend. Another bout of unsettled weather is expected early next week. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
