.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 223 PM MST Fri Mar 1 2024

Dry and warm conditions combined with strengthening southwest and
west winds will result in critical fire conditions and rapid fire
spread, especially for eastern New Mexico, this weekend. Winds
really strengthen to high wind criteria across the northern mountains
Saturday night, spreading to the northeast highlands and plains late
Sunday morning into the afternoon. Dangerous crosswinds are expected
along the Interstate 25 corridor between Las Vegas and Raton on
Sunday. Some snow showers are possible across the Tusas Mountains on
Sunday. The high winds subside Sunday night into Monday, but remain
brisk. The next system approaches the state late Wednesday into
Thursday, allowing winds to gradually increase and possibly provide
some beneficial moisture to portions of northern and central NM late
next week.

.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Sunday)
Issued at 223 PM MST Fri Mar 1 2024

After a relatively calm night with above normal temperatures and
mostly clear skies, another bout of unsettled weather sets its
sights on northern and central NM. A potent and cold 509dam upper
low is currently swirling off the coast of the PacNW. Meanwhile, a
stark dry intrusion is cruising along the US/MX border, helping to
usher in markedly drier air to the Desert Southwest today. Quasi-
zonal flow aloft will strengthen thanks to the tightening H5
pressure gradient overnight as the disturbance wobbles inland. A
burly 150kt 300 mb jet max rounds out the southern periphery of the
system, the fringes of which are poised to saddle up against the
Four Corners midday tomorrow. This will allow H5 winds over the
state to strengthen to 50 to 60 kts across western NM, spreading
eastward through the day. By way of deep layer mixing, gusts of 35-
45kts will be possible, especially over the high terrain and
portions of eastern NM. As such, did hoist a Wind Advisory for
tomorrow afternoon through evening. High temperatures will be
enhanced by the adiabatic compression offered by southwest sfc flow
and did trend them to the higher side of guidance.

Winds aloft continue increasing moving into tomorrow night. The edge
of the aforementioned jet max will sink further into northern NM
Sunday morning, bringing H5 speeds in excess of 80kts. Magnitudes at
700mb increase substantially across the central mts, particularly
across the Sangre de Cristos, with impressive speeds of 70-75kts.
The orientation of the flow combined with the enhanced ageostrophic
vertical circulations suggest that mt wave activity may lead to
sudden and erratic high wind gusts lee of the Sangre de Cristos late
Saturday night into Sunday morning. The parent system splits and
lifts near the US/CAN border by Sunday midday, stretching the jet
max across the NM/CO. Meanwhile, persistent lee-side troughing will
deepening to 998mb in the Great Plains, creating an impressive sfc
pressure gradient. All these things in concert will lead to a day of
high wind across portions of eastern NM. Deep layer mixing will
allow strong wind gusts to translate to the surface, particularly
across the Sangre de Cristos and their adjacent highlands/plains,
where magnitudes of 45-60kts will be possible. The highest winds
will favor areas north of I-40 and areas of low visibility will be
possible due to blowing dust. Temperatures most locales on
Sunday will remain above normal for early March.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday Night through Thursday)
Issued at 223 PM MST Fri Mar 1 2024

High winds will quickly taper off across the northeast and east
central plains after sunset Sunday, but remain elevated across the
central mountain chain due to 700 mb winds of 40 to 50 kts on the
backside of Sunday's shortwave embedded within a larger longwave
trough over the northern and central Rockies. These stronger winds
across the central mountain chain should taper off around sunrise
Monday as 700 mb winds relax. Daytime mixing Monday will result in
breezy west winds across the highlands and eastern plains as the
state remain south of the aforementioned longwave trough across the
intermountain west. Temperatures across central and eastern NM on
Monday will be cooler by about 4 to 8 degrees than Sunday due to
slightly lower 500 mb heights. Additionally, a weak backdoor front
will enter far northeast NM during the day Monday. The ECMWF and GFS
differ on the position and timing of this weak backdoor front moving
through eastern NM Tuesday but it does not really make a noticeable
difference in temperatures. Southwest breezes begin to pick up
Wednesday afternoon as a positively tilted shortwave trough and
possibly weak low off the CA coast dives southeast. This trough will
move through the state Thursday cooling temperatures slightly below
average and possibly bring some light precipitation to the northern
and western high terrain along with some breezy west winds along and
south of I-40.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 923 PM MST Fri Mar 1 2024

VFR conditions prevail and are forecast to persist through the TAF
period. Westerly flow aloft will increase overnight and become
more southwesterly on Saturday, with surface wind gusts up to
between 37-42kts at KGUP, KLVS and KTCC.

.FIRE WEATHER...

NORTHEAST AND EAST CENTRAL NM SATURDAY DUE TO STRONG WINDS AND LOW
HUMIDITY...

...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT FOR NORTHEAST AND EAST CENTRAL NM
SUNDAY DUE TO STRONG WINDS AND LOW HUMIDITY...

An approaching upper level disturbance will bring markedly drier
conditions amongst strong winds Saturday and Sunday, allowing for
the potential for rapid fire spread in the eastern plains. Overnight
recovery tonight into tomorrow morning will be a stark difference
across northern and central New Mexico, with nearly all points
seeing a 20 to 50 percent on the most extreme differences. This will
set the stage for afternoon minimum humidity values to dip into the
low double digits and single digits most areas. Winds aloft will
begin strengthening and in the presence of deep layer mixing,
southwesterly wind gusts of 35 to 45 mph are likely. This will
create critical fire weather conditions across all of eastern New
Mexico, with elevated to near-critical conditions being seen else
where. Winds will continue strengthening into Saturday night with
overnight recoveries being poor to fair. This could allow for
localized critical fire weather conditions to persist into the
overnight hours for some areas of eastern New Mexico. Areas across
the central mountains and westward will see minimum relative
humidity values climb beyond critical thresholds Sunday afternoon,
while the eastern plains remain in the low double digits, with
localized single digits possible. The highest winds will favor
northeastern New Mexico, where gusts of 55 to 65 mph are expected.
While some of these locales received recent precipitation, ERCs are
trending above average to near max. As such, did upgrade Sunday's
Fire Weather Watch to a Red Flag Warning.

Winds slacken considerably on Monday and moisture improves, limiting
critical fire weather conditions. That trend continues until the
next potential disturbance enters the forecast Wednesday night into
Thursday. Ventilation will trend good to excellent most areas
next week.
