Area forecast discussion, Jun 4, 2:34 PM MST, 2 hours 31 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM 334 PM MDT SAT JUN 4 2011 .DISCUSSION... AS MORE OR LESS INDICATED BY RECENT COMPUTER MODEL RUNS THE THUNDERSTORM INITIATION ZONE/DRY LINE IS SHIFTED A LITTLE FARTHER WEST THAN WAS THE CASE FRI AFTN. WHILE THERE IS A SMALL POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS ACROSS E CENTRAL AND NE NM...THE SEVERE STORM SUPPORTING PARAMETERS ARE STILL MARGINAL FOR THE MOST PART. RADAR AND SATELLITE INDICATIONS THIS AFTN SEEM TO POINT TO THE DRYLINE STILL DRIFTING A BIT TO THE WEST...DESPITE THE USUAL DAYTIME MIXING THAT REDUCES DEWPOINTS TO SOME DEGREE. EXPECTING JUST ABOUT ALL OF THE WET STORMS TO STAY ALONG AND ESPECIALLY EAST OF CENTRAL MTN CHAIN THIS EVENING...THOUGH NOT NEARLY AS MUCH ACTIVITY AS LAST EVENING NEAR THE TX LINE...ESPECIALLY QUAY COUNTY SOUTH. THE RATHER PUNY MOIST PLUME...MORE LIKE LESS DRY PLUME...STILL EXPECTED TO SHIFT FAR ENOUGH WEST TO GIVE SOME POTENTIAL FOR AT LEAST A MIX OF WET AND DRY STORMS BETWEEN CENTRAL MTN CHAIN AND CONTINENTAL DIVIDE FOR SUN AND PERHAPS AGAIN MON. PROBABLY MORE DRY THAN WET THOUGH AND THAT RAISES GREAT CONCERN ABOUT NEW FIRE STARTS FOR THAT AREA. ANTICIPATE THAT THE MORE SOUTH TO NORTH RATHER THAN SW TO NE FLOW AT LOWER TO MID LEVELS WILL KEEP/SHIFT SMOKE PLUMES FROM HORSESHOE 2 AND WALLOW FIRES...OR WORST OF THEM ANYWAY...TO WEST OF ALL OR MOST OF RIO GRANDE VALLEY. BUT IT DOES MEAN THAT AREAS WEST OF THE VALLEY TO THE AZ LINE WILL HAVE TO SUFFER THROUGH THIS FOR AT LEAST A WHILE LONGER. BY LATE MON OR CERTAINLY TUE AND ON THROUGH THE REST OF NEXT WEEK HOWEVER IT STILL LOOKS AS THOUGH DEEP LAYER WINDS WILL SHIFT TO A MORE SW DIRECTION AGAIN SHIFTING WHATEVER REMAINS OF THE PLUMES BACK EAST TOWARD CENTRAL NM. SFC WINDS WILL ALSO LIKELY INCREASE AGAIN AND WHATEVER MOISTURE MAY ACTUALLY BE DEPOSITED INTO THE EXTREMELY PARCHED SOILS ACROSS WEST AND CENTRAL NM WILL LARGELY BY EVAPORATED OUT WITH THE LOWER DEWPOINTS AND STRONGER WINDS...SIGH. 43 && .AVIATION... SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE EAST SLOPES OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN AT 19Z WILL DRIFT OUT ONTO THE EASTERN PLAINS DURING THE AFTERNOON...AND PERSIST THROUGH 03Z. MVFR CIGS/VSBYS IN TSRAGS WILL OCCASIONALLY OBSCURE HIGHER TERRAIN. A FEW OF THE STORMS MAY BRIEFLY REACH SEVERE LEVELS WITH WND GUSTS TO 50 KTS. VSBY RESTRICTIONS DUE TO SMOKE/HAZE MAY BE WIDESPREAD FROM THE AZ BORDER TO THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN AFT 02Z AS SMOKE PLUMES PERSIST FROM WILDFIRES IN SE AZ AND LOW LEVEL NIGHTTIME INVERSIONS DEVELOP. LIGHT ASHFALL IS ALSO POSSIBLE IN VICINITY OF PLUMES. NEXT AVIATION DISCUSSION SCHEDULED FOR 09Z. && .FIRE WEATHER... ...POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT DRY LIGHTNING EVENT ACROSS CENTRAL AND WESTERN NEW MEXICO REMAINS LATE THIS WEEKEND AND MONDAY... NEW MEXICO REMAINS TRAPPED BETWEEN AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE CENTERED OVER TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA AND AN UNUSUALLY STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OFF THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA COAST. THE RESULTING SOUTHWEST WIND FLOW ALOFT IS STILL EXPECTED TO SUBTLY CHANGE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY...ALLOWING FOR THE IMPORT OF WHAT LOOKS TO BE LIMITED AMOUNTS OF MID TO LOW LEVEL MOISTURE INTO CENTRAL AND WESTERN NEW MEXICO. CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY FROM THE EAST SLOPES OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN OVER THE EASTERN PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WILL RESULT IN SOME MAINLY LOCALIZED WETTING RAINS...AS WELL AS PRODUCE POTENTIAL FOR AN EASTERLY WIND TO BRING AN INCREASE IN LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TO THE UPPER AND MIDDLE RIO GRANDE VALLEY OVERNIGHT. RH RECOVERIES TONIGHT FROM THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE TO THE ARIZONA BORDER WILL BE POOR...WITH LITTLE BETTER RECOVERIES THROUGH THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY. POTENTIAL FOR DRY LIGHTNING SUNDAY INTO MONDAY WILL HINGE ON THE AMOUNT AND NORTHWARD EXTENT OF MOISTURE MODELS CONTINUE TO FORECAST WEST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN. THE FARTHER WEST OF THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY...THE DRIER CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE. IN THE EASTERN PLAINS...ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY BE LESS THAN IN RECENT DAYS AS STEERING FLOW TENDS TO KEEP STORMS CLOSER TO THE MOUNTAINS. MODELS TRENDING TOWARDS GREATER AMOUNTS OF MID LEVEL MOISTURE AND MORE WIDESPREAD INSTABILITY MONDAY...BUT THERE IS NO CORRESPONDING INCREASE IN LOW LEVEL MOISTURE...EITHER SUNDAY OR MONDAY. WINDS SUNDAY AFTERNOON MAY RESULT IN 1 TO 3 HOURS OF CRITICAL CONDITIONS OVER THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS...TO ACCOMPANY THE THREAT FOR DRY LIGHTNING. MONDAY/S WINDS INCREASE A NOTCH...AND CONSIDERED HOISTING A FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR ZONES 101 AND 105...BUT AREAL COVERAGE NOT AS GREAT AS ONE WOULD WANT TO SEE...AT LEAST AT THIS TIME. BY TUESDAY...STRONGER SOUTHWEST WINDS RETURN...SCOURING OUT MOISTURE FROM THE WESTERN TWO THIRDS OF THE FORECAST AREA. DRYLINE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FAR EASTERN PLAINS MAY ERUPT...BUT MORE WIDESPREAD CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS...ALONG WITH HIGH HAINES VALUES...COULD PERSIST FROM TUESDAY THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WORK WEEK. OVERNIGHT RH RECOVERIES OVER THE WESTERN TWO THIRDS OF THE REGION WILL BE POOR TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
