The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Albuquerque, NM wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 6, 1:45 PM MST, 5 hours 15 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM 245 PM MDT WED JUL 6 2005 ...SVR TSTORM WATCH IN EFFECT THRU 03Z FOR NE HIGHLANDS AND PLAINS... .DISCUSSION... BASICALLY THE SAME WEATHER PATTERN...DIFFERENT DAY. PEAK HEATING HAS ALLOWED FOR DESTABILIZATION OF ATMOSPHERE WITH SCATTERED CONVECTION POPPING OVER THE HIGH TERRAIN OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS. LAPS SURFACE CAPES PROJECTING GREATER THAN 2500 J/KG OVER THE NE QUADRANT OF THE STATE. STORMS SHOULD CONTINUE TO FIRE AND EVENTUALLY TRACK INTO THE NE PLAINS INTO AN AREA OF BETTER INSTABILITY AND LOW LEVEL MOISTURE. A SERIES OF UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVES RIDING THE NRN PERIPHERY OF HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT PROGGED TO TRAVERSE ACROSS NRN NM. THIS SHOULD ALLOW FOR MID-LEVEL SUPPORT TO ANY CONVECTIVE UPDRAFTS IN THE REGION. THE THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER IS PRESENT...HOWEVER MID/UPPER LEVEL FLOW IS A BIT WEAKER...CREATING LESS FAVORABLE SHEAR VALUES. MAIN THREAT FOR SEVERE WOULD BE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. WOULD LIKE TO SEE A BIT MORE OF A E/SE SURFACE FLOW AT THE SURFACE TO SUPPORT LONGER LIVED SUPERCELLS. CONVECTION WITHIN THE SOUTH CENTRAL MTNS HAVE FORMED IN A REGION OF MODERATE CAPES WITH MINIMAL CONVECTIVE INHIBITION. STORMS WOULD BE AIDED BY LINGERING OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES... HOWEVER THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD BE OF THE PULSE NATURE SIMILAR TO THE STORMS YESTERDAY. STORMS SHOULD CONGEAL LATER THIS EVENING AND MOVE INTO THE ERN PLAINS. INCREASED POPS INTO THE 40 PERCENT RANGE ALONG THE TX BORDER. EAST CANYON WINDS STILL A THREAT FOR THE CENTRAL MTN CHAIN FOR OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES MOVING WESTWARD. THE UPPER GILA REGION LIGHTING UP WITH CUMULUS WITHIN REGION OF STEEP LAPSE RATES...BUT VERY DRY AIRMASS WILL INHIBIT PRECIPITATION THREAT. WILL MAINTAIN DRY LIGHTNING/GUSTY WINDS AS ONE OR TWO WELL DEVELOPED TOWERS ARE POSSIBLE DURING THE EARLY EVENING. UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD OVER THE SW UNITED STATES FOR THU. NORTH/NW 500MB FLOW WILL PREVAIL OVER THE NE CORNER OF NEW MEXICO...KEEPING UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVES PASSING THROUGH THE AREA. WITH WEAKER UPPER LEVEL WINDS...SHEAR WILL BE LACKING COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS DAYS AND COVERAGE OF STORMS WILL SUFFER. THEREFORE... HAVE MAINTAINED ISOLATED POPS FOR MOST AREAS FOR THE THURSDAY TIME FRAME...LEAVING SCATTERED ALONG ERN SLOPES OF SANGRES. GFS80 SEEMS TO BE TOO WARM AND HAS PERFORMED RATHER POORLY OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS. NOT TOO CONFIDENT ON HOW FAR EAST PCPN WILL TRACK SATURDAY WITH 500MB STEERING FLOW DUE NORTH. MIDNIGHT CREW DID MENTION THAT POPS COULD BE TOO HIGH ALONG THE TX/OK BORDER...WHICH MAY BE A GOOD CALL IF UPPER LEVEL WIND TRAJECTORIES PAN OUT. UPPER RIDGE PROGGED BY DGEX/GFSLR TO SHIFT NORTHWARD INTO THE UT/CO BY EARLY NEXT WEEK. THIS WILL SHIFT 500MB FLOW TO A N/NE COMPONENT. IF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE SQUEEZES THROUGH THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN... DIURNAL HEATING COULD MAKE FOR AN INTERESTING NON-MONSOONAL PATTERN FOR THE WRN ZONES. INHERITED ISOLATED POPS LOOK GOOD AND WILL NOT ADJUST. THE E MAY BE QUIET IF THIS PATTERN SHAPES UP. CONTINUED TO DISCARD REMAINS OF DENNIS TRACKING THROUGH TEXAS/OK...THEN WESTWARD INTO ERN NM DUE TO UPPER HIGH PARKED OVER THE CENTRAL ROCKY MTNS. LOOKS INTERESTING...BUT STILL A STRETCH ATTM. TEMPERATURES AND SKY COVER IN EXCELLENT SHAPE THROUGH THE FORECAST PACKAGE. ONLY SIGNIFICANT CHANGE WAS TO INCREASE SKY COVER FOR THE ERN PLAINS THIS EVENING COMPLIMENTS OF CONVECTIVE DEBRIS.
