...New AVIATION...

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 246 AM MDT Sun Aug 13 2023

Daily rounds of showers and thunderstorms are expected today and
tomorrow across much of northern and central New Mexico. Locally
heavy rainfall will be possible along with an increased risk of
flash flooding, especially over recent burn scars. A backdoor front
Sunday night into Monday morning will bring gusty canyon winds to
the Albuquerque metro. Much cooler temperatures will follow areawide
Monday and Tuesday. Temperatures will trend back up midweek into the
weekend as precipitation chances decline.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Monday)
Issued at 246 AM MDT Sun Aug 13 2023

Widely scattered light showers have persisted over northern NM
through the early morning with isolated thunderstorms having
developed over far southeast NM. The surface boundary has reached
Roswell and pretty much the east slopes of portions of the central
mountain chain, which is about as far west as it's going to go.
Patchy low clouds have develop at Clayton and Tucumcari as well as
near Las Vegas. Another more vigorous boundary is forecast to invade
far northern NM by midafternoon and plunge rapidly south through the
eastern plains and into the RGV tonight. SPC Day 1 outlook has
changed little with the Marginal Risk still painted over portions of
northeast and east central NM. CAMS suggest more storms overall
today than yesterday with potential for localized cells to pass over
the Hermits Peak Calf Canyon burn scar but to the east of the
McBride scar. Although there are some differences, went ahead with
another Flood Watch for the southern and eastern Sangre de Cristo
mountains for this afternoon and evening. Guidance still indicates
sustained east winds at the Sunport would range from the mid 20s to
lower 30s knots later tonight so the possibility for a Wind Advisory
will need to be evaluated. Monday will be cooler overall but
especially over the eastern plains, where any precipitation would
likely be showers. The Continental Divide and north central NM would
be the focus for showers and storms Monday afternoon.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Monday night through Saturday)
Issued at 246 AM MDT Sun Aug 13 2023

Upper level high pressure begins retrograding back into the Land of
Enchantment Monday night into Tuesday. By Tuesday afternoon, the
high pressure center organizes over NM, effectively obstructing
access to the monsoonal plume. Still, moisture will be available
which will give rise to a few storms across the northern and western
mts. Temperatures will begin rebounding after the previous day's
cold front but will remain near to below normal areawide. The high
expands by midweek, with its northern periphery reaching up into the
Great Basin, while its southern extent dips into northern MX. This
will continue the limited access to the monsoon tap, allowing for
storms to favor the western and northwestern high terrain. The high
begins to wobble a little eastward on Thursday with the help of a
closed low off the coast of CA. This movement will be enough to
create an avenue for moisture up the spine of the Sonoran Desert.
Showers and storms will favor areas west of the central mts that
afternoon. The scene will rinse and repeat Friday and Saturday, with
the best chances for storms existing across areas along and west of
the Cont Dvd.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1157 AM MDT Sun Aug 13 2023

Scattered showers and storms are expected across the area this
afternoon and early evening with the greatest coverage along the
central mountain chain and in the northern mountains. A few storms
over northeastern NM may produce damaging winds and hail from 21Z
to around 03Z this evening. A backdoor cold front has just
entered far northeastern NM as of 18Z and will trek south-
southwest this afternoon and evening. The boundary will push
through the gaps of the central mountain chain as early as 03Z and
generate gusty gap winds up to 40 KT at KABQ. Light rain showers
and lower ceilings are possible at all terminals in the wake of
the backdoor front. MVFR and potentially IFR conditions are
possible tomorrow morning along and east of the central mountain
chain with the greatest confidence at KROW. Visibility reductions
are possible although breezy winds should prevent dense fog from
developing.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 246 AM MDT Sun Aug 13 2023

Monsoon moisture plus the added effects of surface boundaries will
continue to bring higher potential for wetting showers and
thunderstorms to northern and central NM through Monday. One
boundary has passed through eastern NM this morning while another
more vigorous boundary remains forecast to surge into the Rio Grande
Valley to the Continental Divide tonight, putting the focus for
Monday's showers and storms over western and north central NM.
Locally heavy rain will be possible which could lead to flash
flooding.

The upper high is forecast to move back over NM Tuesday and expand
into the central Rockies and AZ Wednesday and Thursday. Enough
moisture will be trapped under the ridge for isolated to scattered
thunderstorms over the higher terrain. Late next week the high
center shifts over KS and OK opening the door for another surge of
monsoon moisture into western NM. However, there are considerable
differences in the timing of this surge, as well as where the
forecast tropical system off the Baja CA coast is going to go. Areas
of fair to poor ventilation forecast today through Tuesday west and
north.
