AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
350 PM MDT FRI JUN 14 2002

BIG STORY THE REST OF THIS EVENING WILL BE THE STRONG STORMS AND
SEVERE WEATHER. STORMS SLOWLY DRIFTING OUT IN THE PLAINS WHICH MAKES
THEM ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS. EXPECT THEM TO SLOWLY DRIFT TO THE
EAST...SOUTHEAST WITH DIMINISHING ACTIVITY BY LATE EVENING. SAME
THINGS ACROSS THE WEST AND HAVE HAD REPORTS OF HAIL THERE AS WELL.
DEWPOINTS START TO GO DOWN ACROSS THE AREA ON SATURDAY WITH THE WEST
REALLY DRYING OUT. NEAR BREEZY WINDS WILL BE SEEN ACROSS CWFA
ESPECIALLY FAVORING THE WEST ON SATURDAY. EVEN WITH THE LOWERING
DEWPOINTS ACROSS THE EAST...STILL CANT RULE OUT SHOWERS OR
THUNDERSTORMS
ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTHEAST BUT ALSO INCLUDING THE EAST SLOPES
OF THE SANGRES. BACKDOOR COLD FRONT ALTHOUGH NOT AS STRONG AS THE
PAST COUPLE OF DAYS EXPECTED TO SWING DOWN SATURDAY NIGHT AND
PROVIDE HIGHER DEWPOINTS AGAIN. THUS ANOTHER CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ALONG AND EAST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN. THE COLD
FRONT WONT BE NEARLY AS STRONG AND IS NOT EXPECTED TO PUSH THROUGH
THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS. DRYING AND WARMING THROUGH THE REST OF THE
FORECAST. WACHTER

.ABQ...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH THROUGH 8 PM FOR NORTHEAST..EAST
