Area forecast discussion, Jul 27, 1:35 PM MST, 2 hours 40 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM 235 PM MDT THU JUL 27 2006 .DISCUSSION...ANOTHER VERY ACTIVE DAY ACROSS NM...SO THIS WILL BE A RATHER SHORT AND SWEET AFD. AM CONCERNED ABOUT A COUPLE OF FEATURES ACROSS THE STATE ATTM. AN UPR LVL S/WV IS DROPPING SOUTH FROM CO INTO NRN NM. THIS IS ENHANCING THE PRECIP ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE STATE...DUE TO BETTER DYNAMICS AND PERHAPS EVEN A SLIGHTLY COOLER POOL OF AIR ALOFT. WILL HAVE TO WATCH THIS WITH CARE...AS THIS WILL LIKELY RESULT IN THUNDERSTORMS PRODUCING VERY HEAVY RAINFALL AS THIS UPR LVL FEATURE CROSSES INTO THE STATE OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. VERY LIKELY THAT MANY THUNDERSTORMS WILL PRODUCE ONE TO TWO INCHES PER HOUR. THE OTHER FEATURE THAT IS WORTH NOTICING IS ANOTHER CYCLONIC ROTATION OVER SERN NM. THIS IS VERY EVIDENT IN THE RADAR PIX AND EVEN ON THE WTR VPR PIX. THIS WILL LIKELY ENHANCE RAINFALL ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS AND SOUTHCENTRAL MOUNTAINS. AS A RESULT HAVE INCREASE POPS ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST AND ACROSS THE NORTHWEST. ELSEWHERE...HAVE LEFT POPS MOSTLY UNCHANGED FROM THIS MORNING/S FORECAST. BEYOND TODAY...TOMORROW WILL MOSTLY LIKELY BE ANOTHER VERY ACTIVE DAY WITH ABUNDANT MOISTURE REMAINING IN THE STATE. HAVE MENTIONED IN THE ZONES THE MENTION OF VERY HEAVY RAINFALL THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST...NO MAJOR CHANGES AS NM WILL CONTINUE TO RECYCLE THE MOISTURE. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
