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 Apr 5, 11:39 AM MDT, 1 hour 45 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 5, 11:39 AM MDT, 1 hour 45 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Albuquerque NM
Issued by National Weather Service Amarillo TX
1139 AM MDT Fri Apr 5 2024

...New AVIATION...

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 356 AM MDT Fri Apr 5 2024

Windy conditions expected across most of the NM area today through
Sunday, with the strongest winds expected on Saturday.  A well
stacked jet will settle into the NM area today and lead to some
breezy to windy conditions.  High Wind Warnings and Wind Advisories
are in effect for the central and western portion of New Mexico.
The western and southwest mountains are expected to see the highest
winds 30 to 40 mph gusting to 60 mph, with most other areas expected
to see winds 25 to 35 mph, gusting to 55 mph.  This evening
precipitation chances will ramp up as a good fetch of moisture will
move in with a cold front, and we'll be keeping an eye on the Tusas
Mountains Including Chama overnight tonight into Saturday morning
for potentially impactful snow accumulations. Prior to the cold
front, we still have concerns of blowing dust and critical Fire
Weather as these RH values will be in the 10-15 percent range for
the most part.  A Red Flag Warning continues this afternoon and
evening for the low lying areas across the FA.  This will continue
to be an issue for the eastern FA on Saturday as high winds are
expected to continue in conjunction with low RH values, and little
to no precipitation is expected that far east.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Saturday)
Issued at 356 AM MDT Fri Apr 5 2024

Another mild day today, but a lot more wind to deal with as a strong
jet is progged to move over NM this afternoon.  Decent south winds
with a modest surface gradient will keep winds in the 25-35 mph
range and in some areas 30-40 mph with gusts 50 to 60 overall for
most areas. The east will not be as strong as the central and west
today.

Given the approaching cold front with this system temperatures
will drop back into the teens to 20s for the mountains tonight and
in the 30s to 40s for the lower elevations. Looks like we'll get
some Pacific moisture to move across the northern Mountains, and
we may even have enough for impactful snowfall. We'll be looking
closer at this for the afternoon package.

Saturday, the main surface low tightens up and tracks east
towards southeast CO. This will support sustained winds 30 to 40
for eastern NM and may even see gusts to 60 mph. Strong wind gust
potential will be prevalent along the Sacramento mountains as
well on Saturday. A High Wind Watch is noted for these areas, and
Red Flag Warnings are now in effect, mainly for the south central
and eastern NM area.

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday night through Thursday)
Issued at 356 AM MDT Fri Apr 5 2024

System is expected to take a strong negative tilt and eject to the
northeast leaving cooler air and mostly freezing temperatures
across all areas Saturday night. Another weather system is
expected to follow behind and work it's way down to the Las Vegas
area by Monday morning. It does look like there will be some
moisture with this system, but it may be limited to southern CO on
given the track of the upper low.

By Monday evening we should have some better precipitation chances
as the center of the low is expected to track over southern NM and
provide decent wrap around to the central and northern NM area.
These better chances of precipitation are expected to continue
through Tuesday night as the system slowly tracks southeast into
Texas.

Weak high pressure is expected to return to the area for the
remainder of the extended and should lead to some quite weather
through Thursday.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1130 AM MDT Fri Apr 5 2024

As of 11 am this early afternoon, majority of TAF sites are seeing
gusty southerly to southwesterly winds push across the area.
Expected these winds to hold throughout the evening and overnight
with many models not seeing winds fully die down until the
incoming system fully passes late Saturday. In consequence to
these gusty winds, blowing dust may be seen this afternoon for
some of the terminals with KGUP and KFMN currently seeing best
chances for reduced visibility. Otherwise, look for the next
major change to come late tonight as showers begin to move in from
the west sometime after midnight. Potential is present to see
snow even at the lower elevation terminals with chances increasing
further during the early morning hours of Saturday.

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 356 AM MDT Fri Apr 5 2024

...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS EXPECTED TODAY AND SATURDAY...

Strong winds associated with an approaching weather system, in
conjunction with low RH values will lead to critical Fire Weather
conditions across much of the lower elevations today, and again on
Saturday. Given northwest NM may see some moisture tonight, the
concerns for critical Fire Weather are much less on Saturday than
today. Winds are expected to be stronger in the east tomorrow in
line with a stronger surface gradient and good cross barrier flow.
Given little to no moisture in the south central or eastern NM
area, Red Flag Warnings have been issued for these areas. Sunday
we'll continue to monitor for critical Fire Weather as RH values
will still be quite low in the east, but winds are expected to be
more relaxed.
