Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Albuquerque NM 1144 AM MDT Mon Oct 28 2024 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 1007 AM MDT Mon Oct 28 2024 - Fall storm approaches Monday and Tuesday, with chances for rain and mountain snow across the far north and northwest Monday evening through Tuesday afternoon and strong winds across the state on Tuesday. High Wind Watch in effect for the Northeast Highlands, Raton Pass, Union County, South Central and Southwest Mountains. - Near-record to record high temperatures across central and eastern areas Monday. - Freezing temperatures across western and central areas Tuesday night and most areas Wednesday night behind the fall storm. && .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 300 AM MDT Mon Oct 28 2024 Record highs will be threatened for central and eastern areas one last day today, while rain and mountain show showers will exist Monday evening into Tuesday afternoon in northwest NM. Strong southwest winds will exist Tuesday afternoon across much of central and northeast NM, with gusts up to 60mph possible in some areas. Freezing temperatures are likely across the state Tuesday and Wednesday night. Rain may return to eastern NM late this week and into the weekend as another fall storm system is on the horizon. && .SHORT TERM... (Today through Tuesday) Issued at 300 AM MDT Mon Oct 28 2024 A changing weather pattern slides over NM today as a segment of the polar jet digs further through the Pacific Coastline. Abundant cloud cover from the remnant mid to upper level moisture from what was once TC Kristy in the EPAC streams over NM today, clearing from west to east thru the day. Mountain wave activity along the Sangre de Cristo Mts is evident in satellite imagery, and erratically placed westerly wind gusts will be possible along and just east of the ridgeline this morning. The troughing pattern spreading over the western CONUS brings lowering pressure heights across NM, lowering temperatures through the western and northern portions of the forecast area. Downsloping southwesterly winds this afternoon will keep high temperatures warm and consistent with Sunday's readings, if not a degree or two warmer. Thus, 80s to near 90F is forecast for Albuquerque to Socorro and much of the eastern plains. Precipitation begins to spread over the Four Corners region late today, with orographically driven rain and mountain snow favored north of the NM/CO border in the San Juan Mountains. But a few light showers will be possible over the Chuska Mountains to Farmington. Precipitation spreads to lower elevations and intensifies through the night into Thursday morning as a 110 to 120kt H3 jetmax rounds the southern portion of the upper level trough. Precipitation then wanes mid-to-late morning Tuesday as the jetmax ejects out over north-central NM and then CO. High winds then become the main hazard Tuesday afternoon with 50-60kt H7 winds stretching from the southwestern mountains in Catron County to the south-central mountains northward to along the Central and Northeastern Highlands. The combination of deep layer mixing Tuesday afternoon ahead of the Pacific cold front and mountain wave activity over the mountains will threaten these high winds reaching the surface in these areas Tuesday afternoon. The High Wind Watch has been expanded to the aforementioned areas, as well as Union and Harding Counties. Blown down burned or dead trees within recent burn scars near Ruidoso will be a main threat, alongside dangerous crosswinds on area highways from Las Vegas to Raton to Clayton. Some patchy blowing dust will also be possible, especially within the Rio Grande Valley from Socorro to Albuquerque where future Wind Advisories are likely to be issued. The Pacific cold front then swoops in west to east across the area Tuesday night bringing in much colder air to begin the Long Term period. && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday night through Sunday) Issued at 300 AM MDT Mon Oct 28 2024 High winds will be tapering off Tuesday evening as the surface becomes decoupled due to radiative cooling, though some gusts of 25- 35kt may still exist after sundown in the south central mountains. The ample upper level trough responsible for the high winds will continue to push eastward through Tuesday evening into Wednesday, with the axis moving almost directly along the CO/NM border. With that, pressure heights will begin to fall Tuesday night, and with mainly clear skies (excluding the Tusas Mountains) and calmer winds across the region, additional radiative cooling will lead to some western and northern areas reaching the freezing level. A brief period of gusty west winds will likely exist through the central highlands eastward along I-40, as a pocket of stronger 700mb winds will progress over the area. 25-35kt gusts are possible through this. As the upper trough axis moves east of the state through late Wednesday, large scale cold air advection will continue to drive down temperatures to perhaps the lowest we have seen this season thus far. Several areas will likely see their first true fall freeze, and thus freeze highlights will almost certainly be needed for a majority of the state Wednesday night. As the upper trough moves away from NM, zonal flow and weak ridging over the state will allow temperatures to rise slightly, though still remaining slightly below average for Halloween (widespread highs in the 50s and 60s). Rain chances begin to return Friday afternoon as a surface high pressure over the central Plains will direct some Gulf moisture into west TX and east NM. Models are in decent agreement on Friday afternoon-Saturday afternoon being the best chance of showers and storms across eastern and southeastern NM. Almost concurrently with the Friday showers, another Pacific trough will likely push into western CONUS through the weekend, though its timing, strength, and effects to NM are still in question. GFS/GEFS solutions are pushing this trough across CONUS faster than other solutions, with the axis being over NM by midday Sunday, whereas the ECMWF/EPS solutions still slate the trough over NV at that same time. In addition, EPS solutions favor a closed low forming over the Baja Peninsula, whereas the GEFS pushes the trough clean across NM. Needless to say, this causes vastly different solutions for the Land of Enchantment. With the EPS closed low, moisture would be funneled into NM with widespread precipitation possible, and the NBM is leaning towards this solution slightly. Left widespread 30-40% PoPs across the state at the beginning of next week, though it should be noted these could change drastically with each forecast update. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1007 AM MDT Mon Oct 28 2024 VFR conditions prevail and are forecast to persist, although with a lowering of VFR cigs near the end of the TAF period at KFMN and KGUP as a cold front moves in from AZ. Gusty southwest winds are forecast today, but winds throughout the column will be on the uptrend overnight into Tuesday, resulting in the development of some low level wind shear overnight and strong southwest winds materializing at the surface after 18Z Tuesday. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 300 AM MDT Mon Oct 28 2024 Breezy to locally windy southwest winds pickup this afternoon as sky conditions steadily clear west to east. These southwesterly winds peak in intensity Tuesday afternoon with peak gusts of 55 to 60mph possible over the high terrain of Catron County, northeastward thru the Northeast Highlands and Northeastern Plains. Elevated to locally critical fire weather conditions will be possible, but minimum humidity staying at or above 20 percent will be the limiting meteorological factor Tuesday afternoon. ERC's are also still fairly low across northeastern NM suggesting fuels are not receptive to rapid fire spread. The same cannot be said of the Rio Grande Valley and Sandia/Manzano and Gallinas Mountain zones where drier antecedent conditions are present. Southwest winds are not as strong here and humidity is also not meeting critical fire weather criteria, but will need to still monitor forecast updates here. Winds taper off Tuesday night as a Pacific cold front brings a westerly wind shift and much colder air into the forecast area. Freezing temperatures will be widespread across the northwestern half of NM. Well below normal temperatures and lessening winds will shunt the fire weather threat Wednesday. Warmer temperatures, and modest southerly winds will bring in higher moisture ends the work week Thursday and Friday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
