NWS Albuquerque, NM wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 26, 2:00 PM MST, 30 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM 300 PM MDT SAT JUL 26 2003 EAST TO NORTHEAST FLOW ALOFT TO CONTINUE AROUND THE SOUTH OR SOUTHEAST PERIPHERY OF THE UPPER HIGH DOMINATING OUR WX. THE HIGH WILL CONTINUE TO CONTROL OUR WEATHER INTO THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. IN FACT THE MRF IS ONCE AGAIN TRYING TO SHIFT THE HIGH EASTWARD TO THE GREAT PLAINS BY DAY 7. I WILL BELIEVE THIS WHEN I SEE IT. I/VE BEEN FOOLED INTO BELIEVEING THAT A COUPLE OF TIMES EARLIER THIS SUMMER BECAUSE IT MADE GOOD CLIMATOLOGICAL SENSE. NOT THIS TIME. I FEEL A FORECAST OF PERSISTENCE IS THE ONLY WISE CHOICE AT THIS POINT. THE ONLY DEVIATION FROM PERSISTENCE...AND IT/S A RELATIVELY MINOR ONE...IS THE BACKDOOR FRONT PROGGED FOR THE MONDAY/MONDAY NIGHT TIMEFRAME. I EXPECT SOME COOLING...PARTICULARLY IN THE NORTHEAST. HOWEVER THE LAST COUPLE OF BACKDOOR FRONTS WE/VE HAD UNDER THIS PATTERN HAVE NOT INCREASED THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IN THE EAST. IN FACT THEY MAY HAVE EVEN DECREASED ACTIVITY GIVEN THE NORTH TO NORTHEAST FLOW ALOFT...IE...A KATAFRONT PATTERN. OVERALL...CHANGES TO GOING FCST ARE PRETTY MINOR. MAINLY JUST ADJUSTING TEMPS AND POPS TO WHAT WE/VE SEEN YESTERDAY AND TODAY. JWS PRELIMINARY NUMBERS...
