Area forecast discussion, Jun 6, 5:30 PM MST, 2 hours 45 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM 630 PM MDT SUN JUN 6 2010 .UPDATE... UPDATE TO ZONES TO INCLUDE SEVERE T STORM WATCH NUMBER 275 FOR NE AND PORTION OF E CENTRAL NM EFFECTIVE TIL 1 AM MDT...ALSO TO EXPIRE HEAT ADVISORY. 43 && .PREV DISCUSSION...312 PM MDT SUN JUN 6 2010... ...MORE MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE RECORDS TO FALL THROUGH LATE TODAY... DESPITE A MODEST INCREASE IN LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ACROSS THE REGION TODAY...HIGH TEMPERATURES HAVE STILL BEEN WELL ABOVE NORMAL WITH A FEW RECORDS TIED OR BROKEN. THE ALBUQUERQUE SUNPORT HIGH TEMP SO FAR OF 99 DEGREES BREAKS THE PREVIOUS RECORD FROM 1996. GALLUPS HIGH SO FAR OF 94 DEGREES BREAKS THE PREVIOUS RECORD FROM 2006. THE EASTERN PLAINS HAVE COOLED THE MOST TODAY HOWEVER READINGS ARE STILL IN THE MID 90S TO NEAR 100F. WILL LEAVE CURRENT HEAT ADVISORY IN EFFECT AND ALLOW NEXT SHIFT TO EXPIRE. WOULD NOT EXPECT TO SEE MORE HEAT ADVISORIES ACROSS THE CWA UNLESS TEMPERATURES APPROACH THE 105 TO 110 RANGE AGAIN THIS SUMMER...GIVEN THE HEAT CRITERIA WAS ALREADY STRETCHED TO ACCOUNT FOR THE FIRST BIG SUDDEN ONSET OF HEAT WAVE CONDITIONS IN QUITE SOME TIME. THE MAIN CHANGE TO THIS FORECAST PACKAGE WAS TO INCREASE EVENING POPS ACROSS SOUTHERN/EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA PER LATEST RADAR AND SHORT-TERM MODEL GUIDANCE. WHILE CELLS ON RADAR APPEAR TO LOOK STRONG AT TIMES...VISUAL OBSERVATIONS AND A FEW RAWS SITES INDICATE THIS ACTIVITY IS A MIX OF WET AND DRY AS EXPECTED. STORMS THAT TRACK FARTHER EAST ACROSS THE NE PLAINS DO HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME TO BECOME SEVERE AS BETTER SHEAR AND DEEPER MOISTURE EXIST IN THAT REGION. OTHERWISE...CONDITIONS WILL BECOME MOSTLY CLEAR BY LATE TONIGHT WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS WELL ABOVE NORMAL. THE 12Z GFS HAS COME INTO BETTER AGREEMENT WITH THE LAST SEVERAL RUNS OF THE NAM THROUGH TUESDAY. THE THETA-E RIDGE AXIS AND BEST INSTABILITY WILL BECOME ORIENTED IN A MORE NE TO SW DIRECTION ON MONDAY AS THE UPPER RIDGE AXIS IS STRETCHED TO OUR SE. THIS WILL ALLOW ADDITIONAL WET/DRY STORMS TO FIRE ALONG THE CENTRAL MTN CHAIN IN THE AFTERNOON AND MOVE SLOWLY INTO EARLY EVENING. TEMPS WILL BE COOLER WITHIN THIS INSTABILITY AXIS MONDAY AND A FEW DEGREES WARMER THAN TODAY ELSEWHERE. MODELS DO SCOUR OUT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AGAIN TUESDAY ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO THE TX STATE LINE...ALLOWING TEMPS TO CLIMB ANOTHER FEW DEGREES WITH A FEW MORE RECORDS POSSIBLE. THIS PATTERN WILL REMAIN IN PLACE WITH HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. EXTENDED GUIDANCE IS IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT THAT AN UNSEASONABLY DEEP UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL DIVE SOUTH OUT OF THE PACIFIC NW INTO THE GREAT BASIN THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. THIS WILL ALLOW SW FLOW TO INCREASE OVER NM BY THE END OF THE WEEK...BRINGING DRY AND BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS TO THE AREA. THE BASE OF THE UPPER LOW IS EXPECTED TO SLIDE OVER NM SATURDAY OR SUNDAY WITH TEMPERATURES ACTUALLY 10 TO 15F DEGREES BELOW MID JUNE NORMALS. GUYER .AVIATION... SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL IMPACT THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN AND ADJACENT HIGHLANDS THROUGH MID EVENING. SOME OF THE STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING DOWNBURST WINDS WITH SFC GUSTS AOA 40 KTS AND HAIL. LOCALIZED AREAS OF MVFR CIGS POSSIBLE WITHIN THE STRONGER CELLS WITH AREAS OF MOUNTAIN TOP OBSCURATIONS EXPECTED. DUE TO THE SCATTERED NATURE OF THE STORMS...WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT CB AND VCTS REMARKS AT KLVS...KSAF...KABQ...KTCC AND KROW. HIGHEST THREAT AREA LATER THIS EVENING TO BE FOCUSED FROM THE EAST SLOPES OF THE SANGRES TO THE NORTHEAST PLAINS. OVERNIGHT AND INTO MONDAY MORNING...LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL SURGE WEST WITH EAST CANYON WINDS EXPECTED INTO KSAF AND KABQ AND POTENTIAL FOR A PERIOD OF MVFR CIGS POSSIBLE FROM KLVS TO KTCC AND KROW. ADDITIONAL HIGH TERRAIN STORMS POSSIBLE MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. NEXT AVIATION DISCUSSION SCHEDULED FOR 09Z. KW .FIRE WEATHER... SCATTERED MIX OF WET AND DRY STORMS EXPECTED INTO THIS EVENING WITH DRY STORMS TO THE WEST OF THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE AND THE MAJORITY OF THE WET STORMS IGNITING OVER THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AND IMPACTING THE ADJACENT HIGHLANDS. GUSTY ERRATIC WIND GUSTS AND CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING WILL ACCOMPANY THE STRONGER STORMS. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL SURGE WEST OVERNIGHT THROUGH THE GAPS AND INTO THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE MONDAY MORNING. THIS WILL YIELD GOOD TO EXCELLENT HUMIDITY RECOVERIES OVERNIGHT. SHALLOW MOISTURE WILL GRADUALLY MIX OUT ACROSS THE WEST ON MONDAY WITH DEEPER MOISTURE HOLDING SWAY FROM THE CENTRAL HIGHLANDS EAST TO THE TEXAS BORDER. EXPECT HAINES INDICES OF 5 AND 6 OVER CENTRAL AND WESTERN LOCALES. A MIX OF WET AND DRY STORMS EXPECTED MONDAY WITH THE FOCUS FOR WET ALONG THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN AND ADJACENT HIGHLANDS. LAL VALUES OF 2 AND 3. ANOTHER BACKDOOR COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO OOZE INTO THE NORTHEAST BY EARLY TUESDAY WHILE MAX TEMPERATURES REMAIN SOME 10 TO 15 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE CWFA. THE UPPER RIDGE WILL BREAK DOWN BY TUESDAY WITH SOUTHWEST FLOW BECOMING ESTABLISHED OVER NEW MEXICO BY WEDNESDAY AND CONTINUING INTO THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL BRING ABOUT BREEZY TO WINDY AFTERNOON CONDITIONS BEGINNING THURSDAY AND BECOMING MORE PRONOUNCED FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS BOTH DAYS FAVORING THE CENTRAL AND EAST. KW && .ABQ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && 43
