Area forecast discussion, Jun 5, 2:00 PM MST, 4 hours 50 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM 300 PM MDT SAT JUN 5 2004 .DISCUSSION...THE 500 MB RIDGE WILL CONTINUE OVER THE SW US UNTIL EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH THE STEERING FLOW FOR CONVECTION MAINLY OUT OF THE WEST AND NORTHWEST. A BACK DOOR COLD FRONT AND AN ATTENDENT LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS THAT PENETRADED THE NORTHEAST LATE THIS AFTERNOON WILL CONTINUE TO MARCH TOWARD THE SOUTHEAST THIS EVENING...WITH ISOLATED ACTIVITY LINGERING AFTER MIDNIGHT ACROSS THE FAR EASTERN PLAINS. SOME OF THE EARLY EVENING STORMS COULD TURN SEVERE ON THE PLAINS...SO SPC ISSUED SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH NUMBER 400 UNTIL 800 PM FOR ROOSEVELT...CURRY...QUAY...HARDING...EASTERN SAN MIGUEL AND SOUTHEASTERN UNION COUNTIES. MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE THAT THE COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN TONIGHT...THOUGH WITH WEAKER RIO GRANDE VALLEY EAST WINDS AND SHALLOWER MOISTURE THAN PREVIOUSLY EXPECTED. AT THIS TIME...THE MOISTURE FLUX IN THE VALLEY LOOKS TOO SHALLOW TO PRODUCE SIGNIFICANT CONVECTION WEST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN ON SUNDAY. HOWEVER...ISOLATED SHOWERS AND STORMS SHOULD AGAIN OCCUR ALONG A LINE FROM THE SANGRES TO THE SACS AND EASTWARD LATE SUNDAY AND POSSIBLY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. A FEW PATCHES OF EARLY MORNING LOW CLOUDS COULD MOVE INTO THE EASTERN PLAINS FROM THE EAST NEAR SUNRISE SUNDAY MORNING...BUT STILL NOT ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO PAINT IN THE GRIDS YET. THE NEXT WORK WEEK WILL START QUITE WARM...WITH 90S ACROSS THE LOWER ELEVATIONS...AS A WEAK LEE TROUGH ESTABLISHES IN THE EAST. A DRY LINE WILL ALSO SET UP IN THE EAST WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF LATE DAY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FAVORING THE SOUTHEAST LATE MONDAY. BY TUESDAY...THE WEATHER SHOULD REMAIN DRY AREAWIDE AS SW FLOW KICKS IN AT ALL LEVELS IN ADVANCE OF AN UPPER TROUGH APPROACHING FROM THE NW. TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WED THIS TROUGH COULD PULL UP ENOUGH MOISTURE FROM THE S FOR THUNDER ACROSS THE W/SW MTNS. ALSO LATE WED...A THERMAL TROUGH ALOFT WILL SWEEP THE N MTNS...POSSIBLY TRIGGERING SOME THUNDERSTORMS WITH LITTLE IF ANY RAIN. DRY LINE ACTIVITY MAY ALSO FLARE UP IN THE EAST LATE WED. ADDITIONALLY...THE UPPER TROUGH WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA AROUND MID WEEK BEARING BREEZY CONDITIONS AREAWIDE AND WINDY CONDITIONS FOR PORTIONS OF THE NORTH. DLC && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
