NWS Albuquerque, NM wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 16, 12:02 PM MST, 8 hours 13 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM 102 PM MDT SAT JUL 16 2005 .DISCUSSION...LESS CLOUD COVER THIS MORNING THAN YESTERDAY. THE CENTER OF THE UPPER RIDGE IS SLOWLY MOVING SOUTH AND WEST AS THE UPPER TROF AXIS MOVES OVER THE NORTHERN ROCKIES. WEAK S/WS WILL CONTINUE TO ROTATE AROUND THE HIGH HELPING IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONVECTION EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE FOCUS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING FOR TS/SH DEVELOPMENT SHOULD STAY MAINLY FROM THE CENTRAL MTN CHAIN WEST WITH ISOLD OVER THE EASTERN HIGHLANDS. KABQ AND KEPZ SOUNDING PW VALUES ARE NEARLY AN INCH WITH KFGZ THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH. FAIRLY GOOD INVERTED V SOUNDING FROM KFGZ SO EXPECT SLIGHTLY DRYER TS FARTHER WEST WITH STRONG GUSTY WINDS. AGAIN STORMS WILL DECREASE OVERNIGHT AND EARLY MORNING. DRYER AIR MOVES OVER THE NORTHWEST PLATEAU STARTING SUN SO THE CURRENT FORECAST WITH NO POPS IS ON TRACK. A SFC COLD FRONT WILL SLIDE SOUTH ALONG THE FRONT RANGE AND INTO NORTHEAST NM LATE SUN. THE STRONGER ACTIVITY ALONG THE FRONT SHOULD STAY NORTH AND EAST OF OUR CWA SUN. A SMALL AND MODERATELY STRONG S/W MOVES OVER CENTRAL NM SUN NIGHT WHICH SHOULD HELP WITH TS/SH DEVELOPMENT OVER NORTHERN AND CENTRAL MTNS. THE SFC BOUNDARY LINGERS OVER THE NORTHEAST MON BRINING BETTER LOW LVL CONVERGENCE. UPPER LVL FLOW WILL BE NORTHWESTERLY. WILL INCREASE POPS OVER THE NORTHEAST HIGHLANDS MON AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE HIGH AXIS BEGINS TO SHIFT BACK TO THE NORTHEAST BY MID WEEK. ENOUGH MOISTURE LINGERS OVER NM FOR AFTERNOON AND EVENING TS/SH ESPECIALLY OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN THRU THE MID WEEK. FOR THE END OF THE WEEK WILL HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE TRACK OF EMILY. OFFICIAL TRACK OF EMILY IS SLIGHTLY FARTHER SOUTH THAN YESTERDAY AS SHE MAKES LAND FALL OVER NORTHERN OLD MEX FROM THE GULF. THIS PATTERN WOULD LEND ITSELF TO A MORE DIFFUSE MOISTURE FLUX OVER NM AND A SLIGHTLY LATER START. GFS AND DGEX ARE FARTHER SOUTH WITH THE TRACK OVER N MEX. THE DGEX HAS BACKED OFF FROM THE STRONG BLOCKING OF THE HIGH BUT IS STILL FARTHER SOUTH AND WEST WITH THE CENTER OF THE RIDGE THAN THE GFS AND EURO. BEST IDEA IS TO WAIT UNTIL EMILY EXITS THE YUCATAN AND CAN GET A BETTER HANDLE ON THE TRACK BEFORE MAKING MAJOR CHANGES TO THE EXTENDED FORECAST...DAILY AFTERNOON AND EVENING TS/SH MAINLY OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
