AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
900 PM MDT SAT JUN 19 2004

.UPDATE...LATEST UPPER LEVEL OBS INDICATE A THERMAL TROUGH ALOFT
WILL SWEEP ACROSS CENTRAL AND EASTERN NM TONIGHT...AND A MOIST SE
LOW LEVEL FLOW CONTINUES IN THOSE AREAS...SO I SPREAD SLIGHT CHANCE
POPS FOR LATE TONIGHT FURTHER WEST INTO NMZ004-011-015. ALSO
INCREASED SKYCOVER IN THE EAST TO MATCH THE LATEST SATELLITE TRENDS.
LOOKS LIKE THE FRONT IS TAKING ITS TIME TO RETREAT TO THE
NORTHEAST...SO WE SHOULD SEE ANOTHER ROUND OF LOW CLOUDS FOR THE
NORTHEAST LATE TONIGHT. DLC

.PREV DISCUSSION...311 PM MDT SAT JUN 19 2004
ACTIVE WEATHER STARTING TO HAPPEN NOW JUST E OF
CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN SO THIS NEEDS TO BE SHORT. BEEFED UP POPS
SOME FOR THIS EVENING...MAINLY AREAS BETWEEN CENTRAL MTN CHAIN AND
WEST EDGE OF EASTERN BORDER COUNTIES. ALSO ADDED RISK OF SEVERE...
BUT AM STILL WONDERING IF ENVIRONMENT MAINLY E OF PECOS RIVER WILL
BE RIPE ENOUGH TO SUSTAIN ANYTHING MORE THAN AN ISOLATED PULSE
SEVERE OR NOT THROUGH THE EVENING. AREA RETAINED CLOUDS AND THUS
COOLER THAN 24 HOURS PREVIOUS...CURRENTLY RUNNING 5 TO 12 DEGREES
COOLER...THOUGH LOW CLOUDS OF THE MORNING NOW ALMOST ALL GONE.
DECIDED TO MENTION SEVERE FOR NOW...GOING FOR AREAS IN AND EVEN A
LITTLE S OF LATEST SPC DAY 1 RISK AREA. DISCUSSED THE POSSIBILITY
OF FLASH FLOOD WATCH ISSUANCE FOR PORTIONS OF NE NM...MAINLY IN
VICINITY OF COLFAX COUNTY AND FAR W UNION...BUT FEEL AREAS THAT HAD
ENOUGH ANTECEDENT RAIN LAST DAY OR SO TO WARRANT CONSIDERATION ARE
TOO SMALL FOR A BLANKET-TYPE ISSUANCE LIKE A WATCH...PLUS
LOCATION OF BEST HEAVY RAIN FOCUSING AREA NOT CERTAIN ENOUGH TO DO
SO. BEST FOR EVENING CREW TO WATCH RADAR AND OTHER TRENDS TO SEE IF
A STRONG FOCUSED AREA DEVELOPS OVER VICINITY OF PREVIOUS HEAVY
RAINS. OTHER CHANGES MADE FARTHER OUT BUT NO TIME TO DISCUSS HEAR.
MORE OFTEN THAN NOT PREVIOUS FORECAST TRENDS FOLLOWED. 43
