Area forecast discussion, Jul 14, 1:10 PM MST, 1 hour 38 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM 210 PM MDT FRI JUL 14 2006 .DISCUSSION...PLACEMENT OF POPS MAIN FORECAST CONCERN. THUNDERSTORMS FORMING OVER HIGHER TERRAIN OF CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN THIS AFTERNOON...AND ALSO ALONG AND BEHIND WEAK SURFACE BOUNDARY OVER EAST CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST NM. WILL KEEP SMALL POPS IN ALL THESE LOCATIONS AND A BIT WESTWARD/DOWNWIND FROM THERE. HIGHEST POPS WILL FOCUS IN THE SC/SE WHERE REMNANTS OF WESTWARD MOVING SHORT WAVE TROUGH COULD SUSTAIN CONVECTION PAST PEAK HEATING. IN ADDITION...BUILDUPS OVER SW MTNS MAY EXPAND SLIGHTLY NWD. WHILE DEW POINTS MAY INCREASE EAST OF THE DIVIDE VIA EASTERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW NOW MOVING INTO RIO GRANDE VALLEY...IF POINTS WEST OF THE DIVIDE SEE ANY THUNDERSTORMS...THEY WILL LIKELY BE DRY AND COULD CONTAIN GUSTY WINDS. THOSE EAST WINDS COULD GUST TO 35 MPH BELOW CANYONS. HIGH TERRAIN AND SOUTHERN CWFA WILL BE MOST FAVORED FOR THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE WEEKEND IN GENERAL EASTERLY FLOW ALOFT. UPPER LEVEL CIRCULATION OVER NUEVO LEON WHICH WILL CONTINUE ACROSS NRN MEXICO WILL HELP GIVE THE NOD TO SLIGHTLY HIGHER POPS OVER SW PART OF AREA. DOMINANT UPPER HIGH CENTERED OVER CENTRAL ROCKIES SHOWS SOME SIGNS OF DEVELOPING A SOFT SPOT OVER HIGH PLAINS BY MID WEEK AS POTENT TROUGH MOVES ACROSS SRN CAN/NRN US AND EASTERLY WAVE CROSSES TEXAS. THIS MAY BRING BETTER CHANCES FOR RAIN MID TO LATE WEEK. OTHERWISE...ABOVE NORMAL HIGH TEMPERATURES SHOULD PREVAIL...EXCEPT WHERE SPOTTY AFTERNOON SHOWERS/STORMS AFFECT NORMAL DIURNAL VARIATIONS...KD/BG && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
