Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Albuquerque NM
1059 AM MST Sat Jan 6 2024

...New AVIATION...

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 334 AM MST Sat Jan 6 2024

A clipper type system will provide snow showers for northeast and
east central New Mexico this morning tapering off by midday.
Hazardous travel conditions are possible within heavier bands.
System three, the strongest and coldest of this week's trio, arrives
into northwest New Mexico late Saturday night into early Sunday
morning progressing southeast over the state heading into Monday.
This system will provide snow to most of the region. Gusty north and
west winds will accompany the system on Monday likely resulting in
blizzard conditions over northeast New Mexico. As a result a Winter
Storm Watch for blizzard conditions has been issued for northeast NM
including Clayton and Raton. The coldest air of the season moves in
behind Monday's storm with below 0 to single digit winds chills
expected. Northwest to west winds across the central highlands
Tuesday and eastern New Mexico Wednesday will remain elevated behind
Monday's winter storm and ahead of the next winter storm impacting
the state on Thursday. This winter storm will provide another round
of snow for the forecast area along with gusty west winds along and
south of Interstate 40. Colder air moves in behind the system Friday
with brisk northwest winds.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Sunday)
Issued at 334 AM MST Sat Jan 6 2024

A shortwave trough in northwest flow aloft will continue to produce
light snow through the morning from the Sangre de Cristo Mountains
southeastward across the east central plains. Accumulations may
reach around an inch along the I-40 corridor.  In the wake of the
disturbance, high temperatures will be cold today with high
temperatures around 4 to 14 degrees below 1991-2020 averages.

A strong low pressure system will track southeastward over
northwest NM tonight and Sunday with very cold temperatures and
enough moisture for heavy snow. With this forecast package we are
upgrading to a Winter Storm Warning for the northwest and west
central mountains, highlands, and plateaus, where snow will begin
accumulating late tonight, and moreso Sunday. Will also issue a
Winter Weather Advisory for the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and
upper Rio Grande Valley where accumulations look to be a little
lighter at this time. The Sangres may be upgraded to warnings by
later shifts. The southwest mountains may also need a Warning or
an Advisory, depending on how the storm evolves, but snow is not
expected to begin accumulating there until Sunday afternoon, so
will defer to later shifts to make that judgment call. Strong
winds will also round the base of the upper low with blowing snow
in many locations, and the potential for 50-60 mph winds in the
southwest and south central mountains Sunday and Sunday night.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday night through Friday)
Issued at 334 AM MST Sat Jan 6 2024

A closed 535 dm upper low will be moving into NM from the northwest
Sunday night with snow showers across northern and western NM
spreading east into central NM, including the Santa Fe and ABQ
metros, and the Sangre De Cristo Mountains. Snow will result in
hazardous travel conditions going into the Monday morning commute As
mentioned in the short term, the Winter Storm Watch has been
upgraded to a Winter Storm Warning for the northwest and western
areas of the state. Additionally Winter Weather Advisories have been
added for the Upper RGV including Taos and the Sangre De Cristo
mainly due to impacts from the snow. Impacts are expected to be
greater compared to Thursday's storm due to colder surface
temperatures and 700 mb temperatures of -10 to 13 deg C. Going into
the daytime hours on Monday, attention shifts to northeast NM as the
upper low moves into West Texas. On the backside of this upper low,
there will be strong 700 mb north winds of 50 to 60 kts translating
to winds of 35 to 45 mph with gusts of up to 70 mph. A trowal
feature and deformation snow band will set up on the northwest
quadrant of the upper low over northeast NM. Therefore, with the
combo of the winds and snowfall from this band, a Winter Storm
Watch with possible blizzard conditions has been issued for
northeast NM including Clayton and Raton from Monday morning
through Tuesday morning. North winds on the backside of the upper
low will slowly taper off as the low exits east into the mid
South. Clearing skies and fresh snow cover will result in the
coldest temperatures of the season Monday night and Tuesday
morning with below zero to low teens. Winds chills will be
dangerously low at well below zero for northern and western area
and single digits elsewhere.

Northwest and west winds remain brisk across eastern NM Tuesday and
Wednesday behind Monday's storm and ahead of the next storm
impacting the state on Thursday. Highs will be well below average by
5 to 15 degrees come Wednesday. The next storm system arrives from
the northwest Wednesday night providing another round of snow for
the region Thursday. Models have the system departing Thursday night
with colder air filtering in on Friday. Highs on Friday will be 10
to 20 degrees below average.

&&

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1046 AM MST Sat Jan 6 2024

Gradual improvement will continue today over eastern NM in the
wake of light snow this morning. The focus will shift to northern
and western NM tonight where deteriorating conditions will occurf
over the high terrain first by 09Z then into the lower elevations
around the Four Corners and KGUP thru 14Z. Southwest winds will
also be increasing areawide ahead of this next storm system with
gusts up to 25 kt developing thru 18Z at many terminals. Snow is
expected to expand eastward beyond this TAF period with lowering
cigs and vsbys continuing north and west.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 334 AM MST Sat Jan 6 2024

No critical fire weather conditions through the next seven days with
cold temperatures, and repeated winter weather events.  Strong winds
will be a concern Sunday and Monday. The strongest winds will occur
Monday, when northerly wind gusts may reach 70 mph over northeast
areas with the potential for blizzard conditions; although snow
amounts may only reach an inch or two in the Raton to Roy area.
