Area forecast discussion, Jun 2, 2:04 PM MST, 2 hours 20 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM 304 PM MDT SAT JUN 2 2012 .DISCUSSION... MAIN CONCERN IN THE SHORT TERM IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS THE FAR NORTHEAST PLAINS THROUGH THIS EVENING. SHORTWAVE MOVING ACROSS COLORADO HAS HELPED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE SANGRE DE CRISTO MOUNTAINS...NORTHWARD INTO COLORADO. AS THESE STORMS MOVE INTO BETTER MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY...THEY MAY INCREASE IN INTENSITY. LATEST LAPS ANALYSIS DEPICTS AROUND 3000J/KG CAPE AND 30KTS OF 0-6KM BULK SHEAR. THIS SHOULD BE MORE THAN SUFFICIENT FOR SEVERE HAIL. ADDITIONALLY... SURFACE TEMP/TD SPREADS ON THE ORDER OF 30 TO 35 DEGREES WILL AID IN DOWNBURST/SEVERE WIND POTENTIAL. ONE CAVEAT TO THE SEVERE POTENTIAL IS THE SHIELD OF MID/UPPER LEVEL CLOUDS MOVING OVER THE AREA FROM EARLIER STORMS. AS THE UPPER WAVE QUICKLY MOVES EAST TONIGHT...CONVECTION SHOULD ALSO SLIDE EASTWARD...AND OUT OF THE CWA BY THE MIDNIGHT HOUR. THEN...A WEAK BACK DOOR FRONT WILL SLIDE INTO NORTHEAST NM TOMORROW...WHICH MAY BE AN ADDITIONAL FOCUS FOR CONVECTION. HOWEVER...AT LEAST AT THIS TIME...DOES NOT LOOK TO BE AS VIGOROUS AS TODAY. AS THE FRONT CONTINUES TO SLIDE SOUTH AND WEST ON MONDAY...HIGHER LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL BE USHERED AS FAR WEST AS THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN. THIS COMBINED WITH ABUNDANT HEATING WILL ALLOW FOR STORMS TO DEVELOP AGAIN OVER THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN. LOOKS LIKE STORMS MAY INITIALLY HUG THE HIGHER TERRAIN WITH LITTLE STEERING FLOW...BUT MAY ADVANCE EASTWARD AS A COLD POOL DEVELOPS AND CONVECTION BECOMES MORE ORGANIZED IN THE EVENING. RAISED POPS A FEW MORE NOTCHES ACROSS THE NE. OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM THIS CONVECTION SHOULD RESULT IN AN EAST CANYON WIND IN THE CENTRAL VALLEYS MONDAY EVENING. MAY GET PRETTY GUSTY FOR A SHORT TIME DEPENDING ON THE STRENGTH OF CONVECTION. THIS WILL HELP USHER IN LOW LEVEL MOISTURE BACK TO THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE. THE DEPTH OF THIS MOISTURE WEST OF THE CENTRAL MTNS WILL BE PRETTY THIN...THUS SHOULD BE EASILY MIXED BACK OUT ON TUESDAY. THUNDERSTORM CHANCES REMAIN IN THE FORECAST TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY ACROSS THE EAST AS THE DRYLINE WAFFLES BACK AND FORTH. THE OTHER STORY IN THE NEAR TERM IS THE HEAT. ROSWELL HAS ALREADY MADE IT INTO TRIPLE DIGIT HEAT TODAY...AND IS LIKELY TO DO SO AGAIN TOMORROW. SEVERAL OTHER LOCATIONS WILL MAKE A RUN AT RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES BOTH TODAY AND SUNDAY. 34 && .FIRE WEATHER... ONE TO TWO HOURS OF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS OVER A SMALL PORTION OF THE WEST THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON AS WINDS GET JUST HIGH ENOUGH TO REACH CRITICAL LEVELS. MIN RH VALUES WILL BE IN THE CRITICAL RANGE...IN THE SINGLE DIGITS...WELL INTO THE EVENING. A FEW STRONG TO POTENTIALLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE NORTHEAST PLAINS...WHILE OTHER STORMS WILL BE FOUND FROM THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS TO THE TEXAS BORDER. AS FAR AS CONVECTION OUT WEST...IT STILL LOOKS PRETTY MARGINAL FOR ANY SIGNIFICANT CONVECTION AS MOISTURE IS JUST TOO MARGINAL. IN FACT RH NIGHTTIME RECOVERIES WILL BE POOR TO FAIR IN THE WEST AND CENTRAL WHILE GOOD TO EXCELLENT IN MOST OF THE EAST TONIGHT AND SUN NIGHT. ON MON ANOTHER RELATIVELY MOIST SURGE SHOULD INTRUDE INTO EAST AND PROBABLY CENTRAL AREAS AREAS PROVIDING BETTER RH RECOVERIES...ESPECIALLY FOR CENTRAL SECTIONS. THIS WILL ALSO INCREASE STORM CHANCES FOR THOSE AREAS AS WELL. WIDESPREAD HIGH HAINES VALUES OF 6 ARE LIKELY FOR WESTERN AND CENTRAL AREAS AGAIN SUNDAY...BUT THIS WILL BE SHIFTED TO JUST THE WEST EARLY NEXT WEEK. ISOLATED SUPER HAINES IN THE WEST SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOONS. A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE STATE LATER NEXT WEEK. ONLY ISOLATED CONVECTION FOR THE EASTERN PLAINS WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...OTHERWISE DRY AND VERY WARM WITH LOW DAYTIME HUMIDITIES BUT GENERALLY LIGHT WINDS. CHJ && .AVIATION... 18Z TAF CYCLE VFR CONDITIONS PREVAIL AT ALL AIRPORTS WEST OF THE CENTRAL MT CHAIN NEXT 24 HOURS WITH NO SIGNIFICANT AVIATION HAZARDS EXPECTED. TO THE EAST VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH MUCH OF THE PERIOD...BUT THERE WILL BE OCCASIONAL ISOLD TO SCT CONVECTION DEVELOPING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON E OF THE CENTRAL MT CHAIN...CREATING BRIEF OCCURRENCES OF LOCALIZED MVFR TO IFR VSBYS AND CIGS. WIND GUSTS OF 35 AND 50 KTS...HAIL TO ONE HALF INCH AND LIGHTNING STRIKES POSSIBLE WITH MOST STORMS. BEST CHANCES FOR STRONG TO SEVERE TSRA TO BE E OF A LINE FROM KRTN TO KTCC BETWEEN 20Z AND 05Z. ONE INCH HAIL AND WIND GUSTS TO 60 MPH POSSIBLE IN THE STRONGEST STORMS. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
