.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 1252 PM MST Wed Nov 29 2023

Warmer conditions prevail today ahead of a storm system, currently
moving rapidly eastward from southern California into Arizona.
This system will move east across NM late tonight through
Thursday, bringing good chances for precipitation and colder
temperatures. Winter Weather Advisories are in effect for the
central and western mountains, as well as the highlands along the
Continental Divide for accumulating snow. Expect impacts to
roadways across western NM. This system will also bring windy
conditions, especially to southern areas. A separate disturbance
will move across Thursday night through Friday, bringing another
round of precipitation with lowering snow levels and blustery
conditions. Snow will come to an end late Friday night into
Saturday, but blustery conditions will persist.

.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Thursday night)
Issued at 1252 PM MST Wed Nov 29 2023

A couple of storm systems will cross northern and central NM tonight
through Thursday night. It's still difficult to discern a break in
precipitation between the exit of the first system and the entrance
of the second system. Precipitation does appear to begin around
midnight near the AZ/NM state line then progresses eastward
overnight, reaching the Albuquerque Metro area potentially in time
for the Thursday morning commute. In addition, there may be isolated
thunder overnight and patchy freezing fog over the western
mountains, as well as patchy fog and low clouds east of the Pecos
Valley late tonight and Thursday morning possibly impacting the
Clovis area, where return flow transports higher dewpoints. The
northeast corner of the state will remain pretty dry with dewpoints
in the single digits this afternoon and into Thursday. Forecast
models bring a northerly wind shift and even drier low level air
into the east Thursday behind the wind shift, allowing a decent low
level moisture gradient to develop from west to east south of I-40
Thursday afternoon, more or less in line where the SPC Day 2 Outlook
paints the general area of thunderstorms. Also, strong west winds
remain mostly south of the CWA, but do tend to clip the higher
terrain of southern Lincoln County as well as the Chaves County
Bootheel. All in all, changes to existing highlights include
converting the Winter Storm Watch to a Winter Weather Advisory,
extending the existing Winter Weather Advisory through Friday night,
as well as hoisting a Wind Advisory for the Chaves County Bootheel
for Thursday.

High temperatures cool Thursday to about 5-15 degrees below normal
but overnight lows stay generally above average.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Friday through Tuesday)
Issued at 1252 PM MST Wed Nov 29 2023

Phasing of two shortwave troughs will happen over the region
Friday into Friday night, the first from over AZ and colder one
from over the Great Basin. These features will keep forcing going
and bring snow levels down more to most valley floors. Additional
snow accumulation Friday into early Saturday will favor the west
central and northwest mountains, especially the peaks and higher
west-facing slopes. Winter Weather Advisories will continue
through Friday night, but a few lower elevation zones may get
dropped earlier as impacts wane and become more relegated to the
mountains. Winds will crank-up Friday through Friday night with
the trough passage, especially along/east of the central mountain
chain where blustery conditions are forecast. Otherwise, Friday
will be cold, with high temperatures 5-15 degrees below normal.
A trailing trough will move over early Saturday and moderate
northwest flow aloft will prevail in it's wake, bringing windy
conditions along/east of the central mountain chain. A Wind
Advisory may be required for Saturday for a few of our northwest
flow-favored forecast zones. Stronger northwest flow aloft will
persist Sunday, which will be a similar day to Saturday although a
few degrees warmer.

An upper level ridge is forecast to swell over the Desert
Southwest early next week and then transition east over NM by mid
week, bringing 500mb heights up to around 584dam and accelerating
a warming trend that will take temperatures above normal areawide
by Wednesday.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 503 PM MST Wed Nov 29 2023

Snow showers with MVFR and IFR conditions are forecast to break
out over west central and southwest areas this evening, then
spread to northwest areas and other locations as far east as the
central mountain chain late tonight, and onto portions of the
eastern plains Thursday. The snow level looks to drop near 5,000
feet in elevation by sunrise, then it will probably lift near 7500
feet Thursday afternoon. Light snow accumulation is expected at
KGUP late tonight, then at KSAF and potentially KFMN and KLVS on
Thursday. The atmosphere looks like it will be unstable enough for
isolated thunderstorms in the mix around Gallup, Grants, and
Glenwood late tonight. Precipitation is forecast to decrease in
coverage and intensity late Thursday afternoon, but it will
probably increase in coverage and intensity over north central and
western areas Thursday night as another disturbance arrives.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 1252 PM MST Wed Nov 29 2023

A series of storm systems will bring lowland rain and snow and
accumulating mountain snow to mainly areas along and west of the
central mountain chain later tonight through Friday night. A few
thunderstorms are possible later tonight over west central NM and a
few showers and storms may wander into the eastern plains Thursday.
Progressively colder temperatures with lowering snow levels are
expected as each system passes. Daytime temperatures will cool to 5
to 15 degrees below normal Thursday and remain below normal through
Sunday.

Drier and potentially strong northwest winds Saturday may create an
area of near critical conditions across east central NM. Brisk
northwest flow persists Sunday into Monday especially along the east
slopes of the central mountain chain. Winds relax Tuesday and
Wednesday as temperatures gradually recover to near or above normal.

Poor ventilation is forecast north of I-40 Thursday with good to
excellent rates south. Good to excellent ventilation is most likely
and widespread Friday and Saturday. Widespread poor ventilation
returns Monday and Tuesday.
