AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM 202 PM MDT FRI JUL 15 2005 .DISCUSSION...INCREASING CU FIELD OVER THE SOUTH CENTRAL PLAINS...THEREFORE WILL PUT ISOLD TS/SH AND INCREASE POPS OVER GUP FOR THIS EVENING EVERYTHING ELSE IS ON TRACK FOR THE SHORT TERM. UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER UT WILL REMAIN IN PLACE TODAY AND THIS EVENING AS A TROF MAKES LANDFALL OVER THE FAR NW PAC COAST. THE TROF AXIS IS JUST OFF THE COAST AND IS FAIRLY STRONG. THE HIGH WILL BE SHUNTED TO THE SOUTH AND THEN SLIGHTLY WEST AS THE TROF MOVES OVER THE NORTHERN ROCKIES BRINGING A CHANGE IN UPPER LVL WIND PATTERN. SMALL DISTURBANCES IN THE FLOW WILL ROTATE AROUND THE HIGH AND OVER NM HELPING TO DEVELOP CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY. THE NAM KEEPS THE TROF SLIGHTLY FARTHER NORTH THAN THE GFS ALTHOUGH BOTH PAINT THE PIC OF NORTHERLY FLOW AND SMALL S/WS ROTATING AROUND THE EASTERN PART OF THE HIGH SPAWNING TS/SH MAINLY CENTRAL MTNS AND HIGHLANDS WEST. A SFC FRONT SLIDES SOUTH ALONG THE LEE OF THE ROCKIES AND INTO NM SUN EVENING. WILL KEEP POPS AS IS FOR THE NORTHEAST AS MODELS HAVE NOT BEEN CONSISTENT. THE UPPER HIGH SITS OVER S CA AND W AZ THRU THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK. SCHC TS/SH EACH DAY SEEMS REASONABLE AS MULTI SMALL S/WS ROTATE AROUND THE HIGH. THE HIGH BEGINS TO BUILD AND ELONGATE BACK TO THE NORTHEAST BY MID WEEK. THE NEXT FEATURE THAT WILL HAVE TO BE WATCHED TOWARD THE END OF NEXT WEEK IS EMILY. CURRENT FORECAST TRACK HAS HER MAKING LANDFALL NEAR BROWNSVILLE TX AND TRACKING ALONG THE RIO GRANDE. HARD TO SAY IF THE MOISTURE WILL REACH NM OR WILL IT BE SHUNTED TO THE EAST BY THE UPPER RIDGE. THE GFS PULLS THE REMNANTS OF EMILY FARTHER WEST AND NORTH THAN THE DGEX. THE GFS ALSO TAKES THE CENTER AXIS OF THE HIGH NORTH AND EAST OF NM...THE DGEX KEEPS THE HIGH CENTER OVER AZ. THE TRACK OF BOTH MODELS MAYBE TOO FAR TO THE NORTH. THE NGP MODEL TRACKS EMILY FARTHER TO THE SOUTH. FOR NOW A BLEND OF THE NGP AND GFS SEEMS REASONABLE FOR TRACKING THE REMNANTS OF EMILY. SHOULD GET A BETTER IDEA AFTER EMILY MOVES OVER THE YUCATAN OVER THE GULF. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
