Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Albuquerque NM
1110 AM MST Tue Feb 11 2025

...New UPDATE, AVIATION...

.KEY MESSAGES...
Updated at 1110 AM MST Tue Feb 11 2025

- Colder, more February-like, temperatures continue for eastern NM
  before spreading to more of central and western NM Tuesday and
  Wednesday. Snow is also possible across northern areas, with
  potential for light to moderate accumulations of generally 2 to
  6 inches in the northern mountains with isolated higher amounts
  of 6 to 8 inches above 10,000 feet.

- Freezing drizzle may create slick driving conditions for parts
  of the eastern plains this afternoon and evening, mainly for
  areas along I-40 and northward.

- Strong southwest winds over western NM Tuesday will become more
  widespread from the northwest on Wednesday. Travel may be
  difficult for large and high-profile vehicles.

- A stronger storm system will impact NM late this week with more
  widespread rain and high elevation snow over western and
  central areas of the state. The potential for wet and slick
  travel will increase, particularly in the higher elevations.

&&

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1110 AM MST Tue Feb 11 2025

Areas of freezing fog with visibility as low as a quarter of a
mile continue at Raton and Las Vegas. Freezing fog advisory has
been extended until 1 PM MST. Southwest winds should help the
freezing fog across the northeast highlands burn off by then.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 321 AM MST Tue Feb 11 2025

More light winter precipitation for the northern mountains and
breezy conditions for western and central New Mexico later this
afternoon. Meanwhile, a backdoor front will push through the eastern
plains, creating a mix of wintery precipitation for areas mainly
north of I-40. In terms of snowfall, the peaks of the Sangres and
Tusas Mountains could see up to 8 inches, surrounding lower
elevation areas could get a dusting to an inch through Wednesday.
The western mountains could see a couple of inches as well. A lull
in the weather on Thursday will allow for the sky to clear along
eastern New Mexico and for temperatures to rebound slightly. The
next winter system will begin to impact western New Mexico on
Thursday night and looks to bring widespread precipitation into
central New Mexico. This is looking like the wettest system since
the early November storm, bringing much needed rain and snow to
many areas that have been abnormally dry this winter.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Wednesday)
Issued at 321 AM MST Tue Feb 11 2025

While overall weather impacts are expected to be low today through
Wednesday, it is still a messy forecast for quite a few variables.
The westerly jet aloft will sag a bit, turning more west southwest
with 700 mb wind speeds ranging between about 30-45 kt over NM
today. With one more day of above normal temperatures in western and
central NM today, vertical mixing heights will also rise higher than
normally expected for mid February, and this will allow fairly
widespread breezy to windy conditions to develop into the afternoon.
Western zones along the AZ border will observe the strongest speeds
with gusts occasionally reaching or briefly exceeding 40-45 mph. The
flow aloft will also be turning more perturbed with upstream
shortwave troughs moving in late today and into tonight, mostly over
CO and northern NM. This will introduce some additional lift in
addition to orographical forcing from the stiff west southwest flow,
and the northern mountains will start to see periods of light snow
increase and turn moderate at times through the late afternoon,
particularly over the Tusas/San Juans and Sangre de Cristos. In the
eastern plains and along the east slopes, the whole forecast will be
a challenge, as the backdoor front placement will dictate a slew of
sensible weather elements. The NAM, and to a lesser extent most
CAM’s, are much more invasive, carrying the front farther west and
keeping it closer to a AXX-CQC-ROW line, whereas the GFS and other
global/synoptic models are much farther east with the front’s
placement by late today. This will have huge implications on low
stratus behind/east of the boundary, and also temperatures and wind
direction. Based on the NAM’s past experiences to usually outperform
other boundary layer front progressions, today’s forecast has been
largely steered that direction. This will keep low clouds, colder
temperatures, and some drizzle/freezing drizzle and other light
mixed precip at play in many eastern zones through the afternoon
before dwindling eastward overnight.

Snow in the northern mountains should peak in intensity this evening
before fading and diminishing after midnight. Snow totals in the
Sangre de Cristos and Tusas/San Juans will generally range between 2
to 6 inches with isolated peaks above 10,000ft getting 6 to 9
inches, so a Winter Weather Advisory will be issued for today and
tonight. The trough aloft will have its axis crossing central CO and
NM late tonight and early Wednesday morning. This will make
tonight’s low temperatures challenging as well, given westerly winds
will be slow to fully decouple in all areas before the Pacific front
sweeps in and introduces cold air advection. While the primary
shortwave of interest will be translating eastward into the plains
Wednesday morning, additional subtle perturbations will dip farther
south clipping near and south of I-40 into the afternoon. This will
introduce fleeting isolated to scattered showers over east central
AZ to west central NM and some surrounding areas. Overall QPF looks
to be light and generally less than a tenth of an inch with low
impacts, but a few isolated locales should not be surprised to get a
sudden dusting of graupel/snow in west central to southwestern zones
Wednesday. Temperatures will also stay below normal Wednesday behind
the Pacific front, and the far northeastern plains will turn even
colder as the next backdoor segment of the front bulls its way in.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday night through Monday)
Issued at 321 AM MST Tue Feb 11 2025

As night rolls around, the trough axis for Wednesday's system will
be making its way through the Great Plains and pushing down another
backdoor cold front for the eastern plains. As a result, low
temperatures on Thursday morning will be 10 to 20 degrees below
average for eastern New Mexico, while western and central New Mexico
will be between 5 and 15 below normal for this time of year.
However, weak upper level ridging will create a brief lull in the
weather and raise temperatures nearly 10 degrees higher than the
previous day for western areas. Temperatures in central New Mexico
will rebound back to near normal, while temperatures in eastern New
mexico will still be 5 to 10 below normal.

All attention then turns to the next winter system approaching from
the west on Friday. Invigorated with ample Pacific moisture, this is
looking to be one of the wettest storms since the November system
earlier this season for western and central New Mexico. As mentioned
in the previous discussion, precipitable water content associated
with this system looks to be well above average for this time of
year. Model soundings indicate PWATs between 0.3 and 0.5 inches for
late Friday, which according to local sounding climatology would
rank in the 90th percentile. Six hour QPFs have remained steady for
the highest precip areas in the forecast (Tusas mountains and
surrounding areas along the NM-CO border) but elsewhere in western
and central New Mexico QPF has trended up by a couple hundredths of
an inch. The polar jet will make a deep dive into the Desert
Southwest along with this system, bringing in another round of gusty
winds on Friday afternoon through Saturday morning. But this time
winds will be oriented more SW, with the strongest gusts over the
southern mountains and over the northeast quadrant of the state
as a lee-side 1000mb sfc low develops in southern Colorado. With
the left exit region of the jet streak over north-central New
Mexico on Saturday, this could lead to some increased divergence
aloft and some greater precip totals. However, in terms of winter
impacts, highest confidence will be over the Tusas mountains
where, several inches of snowfall look likely (90% chance of
greater than 8 inches of snowfall in a 24 hour period). Elsewhere,
temperatures will be relatively warm for February, so aside from
the higher elevation areas, precipitation is forecast to be mostly
rain, transitioning to snow during the cooler nighttime hours.
After the Friday-Saturday system, the weather clears for most of
the state and temperatures warm back up as ridging begins to build
back into the area to begin the next week.

&&

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1110 AM MST Tue Feb 11 2025

LIFR conditions from freezing fog look to continue across the far
northeast and northeast highlands, including KLVS and KRTN.
Freezing fog should burn off at around 20Z with improving VFR
conditions at that point. IFR to MVFR conditions from low clouds
and patchy freezing drizzle across the eastern plains should
improve to VFR conditions this afternoon and winds become more
southerly. Elsewhere, gusty southwest to west winds across western
and central NM this afternoon and evening as a Pacific front
sweeps through the region Wind gusts of up to 35 kts possible.
Right now, winds are just shy of Airport Weather Warning criteria
for KABQ, but one might need to be issued later this afternoon.
Southwest and west winds remain gusty after sunset. The backdoor
front and low clouds/MVFR to IFR conditions in it's wake could
sneak back west into KTCC after sunset before the Pacific front
pushes it back east. West winds look to taper off briefly around
sunrise Wednesday before ramping up once again at the end of the
TAF period. Finally, snow will develop across the north central
mountains later this afternoon peaking through the evening and
overnight hours resulting in IFR conditions and mountain
obscurations. Snow should taper off around daybreak.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 321 AM MST Tue Feb 11 2025

Western and central NM will observe above normal temperatures one
more time today while eastern areas drop farther below with cloudy,
drizzly, and damp conditions due to a strong backdoor cold front.
Breezy to windy conditions will also impact western and central NM
this afternoon with the strongest speeds found along the AZ-NM
border where gusts will occasionally reach 40-45 mph. Humidity will
bottom out around 12-19 percent in many of these western and central
zones, introducing marginal or spotty critical conditions. No Red
Flag Warning is planned, given the marginal humidity values, and the
bigger threat will reside south of the forecast area into southern
NM. The remainder of the week will be characterized by bouts of
cooler temperatures and even some wintry precipitation as upper
level disturbances and associated cold fronts sweep in. The periodic
temperature drops will effectively boost humidity values, and many
locations within western and north central NM will have an
opportunity for soaking rainfall (a tenth of an inch of liquid
equivalent or more), especially Friday into Friday night. The
weather does turn drier Sunday into Monday of next week, and for now
some breezy, but not critical conditions, are forecast.
