A strong late Spring storm brought strong winds to central and eastern New Mexico on the 30th. High winds were recorded at the Sierra Blanca Airport near Ruidoso.
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 May 30, 11:49 AM MST, 1 hour 6 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM 1249 PM MDT MON MAY 30 2011 .UPDATE... QUICK UPDATE TO RAISE TEMPS IN THE E. NO CHANGES TO WIND ADVISORY. CHJ && .PREV DISCUSSION...324 AM MDT MON MAY 30 2011... CURRENTLY...CLOSED LOW ALOFT CENTERED ON UTAH BATHING NEW MEXICO IN STRONG SOUTHWEST FLOW...AS SURFACE TROUGH ACROSS COLORADO PINNING DOWN DRY LINE ALONG THE EAST BORDER OF NEW MEXICO...AND WITH COLD FRONT EXTENDING SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE FOUR CORNERS TO THE NEW MEXICO BOOT HEEL. COLD FRONT POISED TO SWEEP EAST THROUGH THE DAY...WITH DRY LINE A POSSIBLE FOCUS FOR CONVECTION LATE THIS EVENING NEAR THE TEXAS LINE. OTHERWISE...WINDS REMAINING GUSTY OVERNIGHT AND LEADING IN TO ANOTHER WINDY DAY ESPECIALLY OVER THE NORTHEAST QUADRANT OF THE STATE. MOISTURE HAS PENETRATED SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO...WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE 50S F NEAR CLOVIS AND AT CARLSBAD. ON THE DRY SIDE...TUCUMCARI...CLAYTON...AND RUIDOSO ALL WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE TEENS F. MODELS...REASONABLY GOOD AGREEMENT FOR NEW MEXICO THROUGH MIDWEEK NEXT WEEK...BUT STORY TOLD REPRESENTS A CHANGE IN THE PLAN FOR MOISTURE PROSPECTS FOR THE STATE THROUGH MIDWEEK. UTAH CLOSED LOW WILL EJECT RAPIDLY TO CENTRAL MONTANA BY THIS AFTERNOON AS ASSOCIATED TROUGH BASE ROUNDS OUT THROUGH NORTHERN NEW MEXICO. UPSTREAM SYSTEM OFF THE BRITISH COLUMBIA COAST OF WESTERN CANADA WILL DRIFT SOUTHWARD IN THE EASTERN PACIFIC TO LIE OFF THE OREGON COAST BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON. CONFIGURATION WILL VEER WIND DIRECTION TO ZONAL BY THIS EVENING ACROSS NEW MEXICO. EAST PACIFIC SYSTEM WILL DRIFT SLOWLY TO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA BY EARLY WEDNESDAY...AS RIDGE BUILDS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN U.S. FROM THE BIG BEND COUNTRY OF TEXAS NORTH AND EAST TO THE TENNESSEE VALLEY. PATTERN WILL PERMIT SOME NORTHBOUND MOISTURE ADVECTION OUT OF THE WEST COAST OF MEXICO DURING THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY...BUT SOUTHWESTWARD RIDGE EXPANSION TO THE SOUTHERN TIP OF THE BAJA PENINSULA ON THURSDAY WILL PUSH ANY MOISTURE MAINLY INTO THE EASTERN HALF OF NEW MEXICO...AND LIMIT THE WESTWARD COVERAGE OF ANY SHOWERS ACROSS MIDWEEK. CLOSED LOW WILL DRIFT TO THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY OF SOUTH CENTRAL CALIFORNIA OVER THE WEEKEND...AND THIS MAY HELP SHIFT MOISTURE ADVECTION TO CENTRAL AND WESTERN NEW MEXICO HEADING THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. CLOSED LOW MOVING TO SOUTHERN NEVADA AND RIDGE EXTENDING FROM THE WEST COAST OF MEXICO NORTH AND EAST TO THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY WILL LIMIT ANY FURTHER MOISTURE PENETRATION INTO NEW MEXICO. CLOSED LOW WILL PUSH RAPIDLY ACROSS NORTHERN NEW MEXICO HEADING INTO MIDWEEK. MODELS DIFFERING ON UPSTREAM FEATURE PLACEMENT...WITH EUROPEAN CENTER STRENGTHENING CLOSED LOW OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST...WHILE GFS KEEPS TROUGH BAGGY OVER THE SOUTHWEST IN MORE PROGRESSIVE PATTERN. DIFFERENCE IS FAIRLY ACADEMIC FOR NEW MEXICO...WITH BOTH SOLUTIONS HINTING AT CONTINUED SOUTHWEST FLOW...AND BROAD MONSTER RIDGE OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE U.S. KEEPING THINGS TOASTY AND DRY. OF SOME INTEREST IS INCREASED TROPICAL ACTIVITY IN THE GULF OF MEXICO BY MIDWEEK NEXT WEEK...AND THIS WILL BE WATCHED WITH INTEREST. NEAR TERM...TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY...TROUGH ALOFT WILL KICK ROUND BASE THROUGH NEW MEXICO TODAY AS CLOSED LOW EJECTS RAPIDLY OUT OF UTAH AND TOWARD CENTRAL MONTANA BY LATE TODAY. SURFACE LOW OVER SOUTHEAST COLORADO WILL EXTEND TROUGH SOUTHWARD ALONG THE EASTERN BORDER OF THE STATE...AND TIGHT SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL CRANK UP THE SOUTHWEST WIND SPEEDS OVER EASTERN NEW MEXICO WITH ANOTHER DAY OF WIDESPREAD BLOWING DUST OVER THE PLAINS. WILL CONTINUE WIND ADVISORIES ALREADY OUT FOR THIS END OF THE STATE. FRONTAL PASSAGE WILL PRODUCE 10 TO 20 DEGREE DROPS IN HIGH TEMPERATURES AS THE FRONT ROLLS THROUGH FROM WEST TO EAST. SPOTS IN WESTERN AND CENTRAL NEW MEXICO THAT WERE IN THE 80S AND 90S WILL TOP OUT IN THE 60S AND 70S. EVEN THE EAST WILL RECEIVE SOME RELIEF FROM THE RECORD HEAT...WITH MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES TOPPING OUT ABOUT 10 DEGREES BELOW SUNDAY READINGS. COOLING WILL ALSO PUSH TEMPERATURES BELOW NORMAL CENTRAL AND WEST...WITH DOUBLE DIGIT EXCURSIONS BELOW NORMAL FROM THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE WEST...AND ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND NORTHWEST MOUNTAINS. EASTERN POINTS WILL REMAIN A HANDFUL OF DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL FOR THE END OF MAY. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE A LATE DAY OR EVENING POSSIBILITY OVER THE EASTERN PLAINS NEAR THE TEXAS BORDER ALONG THE DRY LINE...AND OVER THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS NEAR THE COLORADO LINE UNDER THE RAPIDLY EJECTING DYNAMICS AS THE WEATHER SYSTEM HEADS FOR POINTS NORTH. FOR TUESDAY...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING SOUTHWARD FROM COLORADO AND LOW LEVEL FLOW FROM THE SOUTH WILL HELP TEMPERATURES REBOUND TO NEAR NORMAL LEVELS AFTER A COOL MEMORIAL DAY OVER CENTRAL AND WESTERN NEW MEXICO. FLOW ALOFT WILL START OUT ZONAL AND GRADUALLY BACK TO THE SOUTHWEST DURING THE DAY AS NEXT CLOSED LOW WORKS IN TO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. DRY LINE CONVERGENCE MAY TOUCH OFF SOME THUNDERSTORMS BROADLY SOUTH AND EAST OF A RUIDOSO TO CLAYTON LINE...AND SOME OF THESE MAY PACK SOME GUSTY WINDS IF INITIATED. PRECIPITABLE WATERS WILL START RISING RAPIDLY IN THE COLUMN FROM ABOUT A HALF INCH TO AN INCH AND A QUARTER OR SO SUPPORTING SOME CHANCE FOR SOME WETTING RAINS IN THESE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. SHOWER COVERAGE WILL STRUGGLE TO EXPAND WESTWARD TO THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN AND EAST SLOPES OF THE SANGRE DE CRISTO MOUNTAINS...BUT BEST CHANCES FOR WETTING RAIN WILL REMAIN MAINLY ON THE PLAINS TO THE EAST. FOR WEDNESDAY...CLOSED LOW ALOFT DRAWING CLOSER TO NEW MEXICO BUT REMAINING OVER NORTHERN CALIFORNIA FOR THE DAY. SURFACE TROUGH TAKING SHAPE OVER EASTERN END OF THE STATE AND PROVIDING ADDITIONAL FOCUS FOR DRY LINE CONVECTION. STILL EXPECTING MOST SHOWER COVERAGE WILL REMAIN ALONG AND EAST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS...WITH VERY SPOTTY COVERAGE OVER THE JEMEZ OR SAN JUAN MOUNTAINS. BEST CHANCES FOR WETTING RAIN WILL BE SLAPPED UP AGAINST THE EASTERN SLOPES OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS WHERE UPSLOPE FLOW WILL PROVIDE SOME ADDED LIFT. MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AND SOME WEAK TEMPERATURE ADVECTION WILL WARM WEDNESDAY TEMPERATURES BACK ABOVE NORMAL FOR THE FIRST OF JUNE...AND AFTERNOON BREEZES WILL BE STRONGEST NEAR THE TEXAS LINE AND AROUND ANY THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. FOR THURSDAY...SOUTHWEST FLOW CONTINUING ALOFT AS CLOSED LOW DRIFTS SOUTHWARD TOWARD NEW MEXICO...AND SURFACE TROUGH REMAINS FROM SURFACE LOW OVER EXTREME EASTERN COLORADO SOUTHWARD TO EL PASO. THURSDAY WILL BE BREEZY...WITH STRONGEST WINDS DEVELOPING OVER THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE WEST TOT HE ARIZONA LINE...AND OVER THE EAST AND NORTHEAST NEAR THE TIGHTER SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT ASSOCIATED WITH THE EASTERN TROUGH. STEADY TEMPERATURE PROFILE AND BROADLY REDUCED SHOWER CHANCES...WITH INITIATION MAINLY ALONG THE SUMMITS AND SLOPES OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN...WITH SOME STORM MOVEMENT OUT ONTO THE EASTERN AND NORTHEAST PLAINS ONCE INITIATED. WITH LITTLE ADDED MOISTURE FROM ADVECTION...SHOWERS WILL HAVE TO RECYCLE MOISTURE ALREADY IN PLACE. CONVECTIVE INDICES RUNNING TO THE LOW SIDE...WITH LIFTED INDICES RUNNING ONLY A DEGREE OR TWO C BELOW...AND MUCAPE LESS THAN A GRAND J PER KG WITH SOME SUBSTANTIAL CIN CAPPING DOWN ALL BUT THE STRONGEST. OUTLOOK...FRIDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND...STEADY TEMPERATURE PROFILE AS CLOSED LOW MOVES FROM NORTHERN CALIFORNIA TO SAN DIEGO BY SUNDAY AS RIDGE TO THE EAST EXPANDS IN COVERAGE ACROSS NEW MEXICO AND NORTHERN MEXICO. CIRCULATION WILL TUG SOME MOISTURE NORTHWARD...BUT ITS EXACT TARGET IN NEW MEXICO REMAINS AN OPEN QUESTION. ISOLATED SHOWER COVERAGE OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE STATE FRIDAY SHOULD SHIFT TO THE WEST HALF THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS CIRCULATION PATTERN ALOFT TAKES HOLD. WINDS WILL BE BREEZY BUT SHOULD REMAIN BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. SHY .AVIATION... STRONG SFC WINDS ONCE AGAIN TODAY DUE IN PART TO 70 TO 80 KT JET MAX COMING ACROSS N HALF OF NM TODAY. HIGHEST SPEEDS IN THE 23 TO 33 KT RANGE...GUSTING AT TIMES TO BETWEEN 40 AND NEARLY 50 KT...MOST LIKELY FROM THE SANGRE DE CRISTOS ON EAST AND ALSO SOUTH TO ROUGHLY THE INTERSTATE 40 CORRIDOR. AMONG FCST TERMINAL SITES...LVS AND TCC SHOULD SEE THE STRONGER GUSTS TODAY. WIND SPEEDS MAY DECREASE A LITTLE AS THE AFTN PROGRESSES. OTHERWISE VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED AREA WIDE NEXT 24 HOURS. NEXT AVIATION DISCUSSION SCHEDULED FOR 21Z. 43 .FIRE WEATHER... CURRENT HIGHLIGHTS LOOK GOOD FOR TODAY. NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES PLANNED WITH THIS PACKAGE...THUS RED FLAG WARNING CONTINUES AS PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FOR AREAS EAST FROM THE CENTRAL MTN CHAIN. A FEW LOCALIZED AREAS COULD SEE SPORADIC RED FLAG CONDITIONS AN HOUR OR TWO PAST THE EXPIRATION TIME OF THE WARNING AND ALSO SOME LOCALIZED 1 TO 3 HOUR INTERVALS OF CRITICAL FIRE WX CONDITIONS IN RIO GRANDE VALLEY. WINDS SHOULD COME UP QUICKLY ACROSS EAST AND PORTIONS OF CENTRAL NM AS THE MAIN MID LEVEL JET MAXIMUM GETS VERY CLOSE TO THOSE AREAS. WILL ALSO HELP SHIFT LOW LEVEL WINDS FROM A SOUTH/SOUTHWEST TO A MORE WESTERLY DIRECTION. STRONGEST WINDS SHOULD BE FOUND ALONG A LINE FROM THE EAST SLOPES OF THE SANGRE DE CRISTOS SOUTH TO CLINES CORNERS AND ON EASTWARD BETWEEN MID MORNING AND MID AFTN. AS THE AFTN PROGRESSES...THE GRADIENT SHOULD GRADUALLY RELAX AS MORE STABLE/COOLER AIR PUSHES IN FROM THE WEST. BREEZY CONDITIONS... ALTHOUGH MORE STEADY STATE WITH LESS GUST SPREADS...STILL TO AFFECT WEST HALF FCST AREA TODAY. HUMIDITY VALUES WILL REMAIN QUITE LOW EVEN WITH THE PROJECTED COOLING...BUT OVERALL CRITICAL CONDITIONS SHOULD NOT BE REACHED ACROSS THE WEST HALF LARGELY DUE TO 20 FT WINDS STAYING JUST BELOW CRITICAL CRITERIA. ANOTHER ROUND OF POOR HUMIDITY RECOVERIES TONIGHT FOR MOST OF N AND CENTRAL NM. MID LEVEL DRY SLOT TO BE A PLAYER IN THIS DRYING... ESPECIALLY MID SLOPE AREAS. WINDS HOWEVER...SHOULD LOWER CONSIDERABLY COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS 48 HOURS. PATTERN OF LOW PRESSURE TROUGH TO WEST AND UPPER HIGH TO THE EAST WILL BE SETTING UP FOR MID WEEK INTO AT LEAST THE WEEKEND IF NOT BEYOND. EXTENDED MODELS STILL HAVING A LITTLE TROUBLE COMING INTO REALLY GOOD AGREEMENT ON HOW FAR S THE UPPER TROUGH TO WEST WILL DIG AND THUS THE EXACT DEGREE OF SOUTH TO NORTH COMPONENT OF WIND FLOW ALOFT...ESPECIALLY FROM NEXT WEEKEND ON. THAT TIME PERIOD SEEMS STILL TO HOLD OUT SOME POTENTIAL FOR WETTING RAIN FOR CENTRAL THIRD OF NM VS E OR W THIRD. E THIRD HAS BETTER CHANCE WETTING RAINS FROM SHOWERS AND STORMS MID TO LATE WEEK THIS WEEK...BUT NEAR WEST EDGE OF THIS FAIRLY IMPRESSIVE MOISTURE SURGE...THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME RISK OF MIXED WET AND DRY STORMS. AS EARLY AS FRI OR SAT MAY BRING AREA OF HIGH BASED VIRGA SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...GENERALLY BETWEEN THE DIVIDE AND THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AT THIS TIME. THE STEERING FLOWS FOUND BETWEEN THE RIDGE AND UPPER LOW ALSO LOOK TO BE STRONGER AND THIS WOULD INFLUENCE THE WETTING RAIN FOOTPRINT. STRONGER FLOWS ESSENTIALLY REDUCE THE RESIDENCE TIME OF A CELL OVER ANY ONE AREA AND ALSO LOWERS OR SHRINKS THE MEASURABLE RAIN FOOTPRINT. MUCH DRIER AIR WOULD BE FOUND TO THE WEST OF THE MAIN MOISTURE PLUME AND THE WEST EDGE OF THIS PLUME WILL BE SOMEWHAT TRANSITORY...MAINLY WAVERING BETWEEN THE DIVIDE AND THE E SLOPES OF CENTRAL MTN CHAIN. TEMPERATURES STILL LIKELY TO TREND WARMER THAN NORMAL...ESPECIALLY THE OVERNIGHT LOWS. A LITTLE MORE WIND WOULD ALSO BE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY FAVORING THE WESTERN THIRD...BUT NOT AS HIGH AS RECENT DAYS. THE MAIN THREAT AREA AT THIS TIME FOR LIGHTNING FIRE STARTS WOULD BE FOUND BETWEEN THE DIVIDE AND THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS...ESPECIALLY NEAR END OF WORK WEEK OR THE WEEKEND...BUT COULD INITIALLY IMPACT THE EAST CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST PLAINS ON TUESDAY. THE BREAK DOWN PHASE TO THIS SCENARIO IS STILL A LITTLE UP IN THE AIR BUT MOST LIKELY EARLY TO MID WEEK NEXT WEEK. THIS MAY INCLUDE A SOMEWHAT ENHANCED WIND PERIOD. 43 && .ABQ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... RED FLAG WARNING UNTIL 7 PM MDT THIS EVENING FOR THE FOLLOWING ZONES...NMZ103-104-107-108.
