Area forecast discussion, Jan 6, 10:59 AM MST, 3 hours 35 minutes before
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. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
