What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this high wind warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Albuquerque, NM wrote its last area forecast discussion before this high wind warning went out at Mar 22, 11:56 PM MDT, 2 hours 7 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 22, 11:56 PM MDT, 2 hours 7 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Albuquerque NM 1156 PM MDT Fri Mar 22 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 226 PM MDT Fri Mar 22 2024 The pleasant weather today won't last much longer because the pattern turns windier and wetter this weekend. Breezy conditions Saturday afternoon become very windy Sunday afternoon out ahead of a Pacific storm system. Strong to potentially damaging winds will favor the southeastern third of the region where blowing dust may reduce visibility on roadways. Rain and mountain snow showers will spread across the rest of the region with minor accumulations in the mountains of western and northern New Mexico Sunday and Monday. Precipitation chances stick around through Tuesday, favoring the northern mountains. Temperatures rebound mid next week, but windier and wetter weather may return by the end of the week. && .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Saturday) Issued at 226 PM MDT Fri Mar 22 2024 An upper level ridge will transition east across the area tonight and be replaced with increasing southwest flow aloft on Saturday ahead of a potent long wave trough. A weak backdoor front that pushed down the eastern plains last night into early this morning will continue spreading west this evening and result in a southeast wind at Santa Fe, but has only a low chance at creating gusty east canyon winds here in Albuquerque. Increasing southerly flow in the lower boundary layer and a deepening lee side trough will bring breezy to windy conditions Saturday, with the windiest conditions across northeast NM during the afternoon hours. A Wind Advisory may be needed for the Johnson/Bartlett Mesas forecast zone for Saturday afternoon. Cloud cover will trend up Saturday as well due to Pacific moisture advection ahead of the approaching trough. Otherwise, Saturday will be warm with high temperatures near normal. && .LONG TERM... (Saturday Night through Thursday) Issued at 226 PM MDT Fri Mar 22 2024 A strong 140-160kt jet streak will move over the area early Sunday, inducing the development of a deep lee side Low in southwest Kansas. By the afternoon, some models have the sfc low around 978mb which will help to drive very strong southwest winds along and east of the central mountain chain. The strongest wind gusts are expected in the southeast plains where 50kt+ winds at 700mb may intermittently mix down to the surface. Increasing mid-level moisture from the west will favor the development of inverted-V soundings and evaporative cooling from showers could help even stronger winds make it to the surface. It will still be breezy to locally windy along and west of the central mountain chain where scattered rain and snow showers move in along a Pacific cold front. Mixing won't be as deep in western NM, but the more unstable mid-levels will support more showers and even a few storms that will be capable of producing gusty downburst winds. The other concern on Sunday will be blowing dust in the southeast and east-central plains where soil moisture is sub-15% and will therefore get kicked up in stronger gusts. Winds decrease Monday in the post-frontal environment, but breezy to windy conditions will continue to prevail, creating blowing snow in the high terrain. Blowing snow won't be as much of a concern for the mid-elevation locations (6-8kft) since any snow that does fall there will be on the wet-side given the marginal temperatures. A few inches of snow will still likely create slick roads at those elevations. Snow on Monday will favor the Sangre de Cristo mountains and the northeast highlands as a result of upslope flow behind a backdoor front. However, even there impacts should be minor at worst. The trend has been towards ridging developing around the middle of next week, allowing temps to moderate and PoPs to decrease. A couple weak northwesterly shortwaves out ahead of the ridge could generate some precip, over the high terrain Wednesday through Friday, but amounts will very low. Model agreement isn't great late in the week, but 2 out of 4 clusters show a troughing signal over the desert southwest, indicating that the wetter and windier pattern may return in time for the weekend. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1141 PM MDT Fri Mar 22 2024 A storm system approaching from the west over the weekend will allow stronger winds aloft to spread over NM the next 24 to 48 hrs. Turbulence and LLWS will become the prevailing hazards for aviation which are outlined in recent AIRMETs. However, a weak backdoor cold front draped over eastern NM this morning may allow a brief period of MVFR cigs to develop near 025 from KLVS to KROW and KTCC by sunrise. Confidence is low given the thicker mid and high level clouds over the area may inhibit development. Surface winds will then veer around quickly to the south/southwest after 11am Saturday and increase across much of eastern and western NM with gusts of 25 to 35 kt. Peak winds will occur between 2pm and 6pm. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 226 PM MDT Fri Mar 22 2024 Winds will be on the uptrend through the weekend as a potent upper level trough/low approaches from the west coast. Elevated fire weather conditions are forecast across northeast NM Saturday afternoon, but the stronger winds arrive Sunday with with a Pacific cold front. Winds will be strongest across south central and eastern NM Sunday, where spotty critical fire weather conditions are likely near the TX border. The trough will bring good chances for wetting precipitation to the mountains Sunday into Sunday night, with a second trough bringing good chances on Monday. A 3rd and final trough will move through Tuesday into Tuesday night, bringing another round of wetting precipitation that will once again favor the mountains. Temperatures will fall behind the Pacific cold front on Sunday and be below normal through Wednesday. Expect a break with a ridge on Wednesday, followed by another trough that will bring windy conditions and more critical fire weather Thu/Fri, mainly to eastern NM. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
