NWS Albuquerque, NM wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 27, 9:01 PM MST, 1 hour 6 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM 1001 PM MDT THU JUN 27 2013 .UPDATE... QUICK TWEAK TO OVERNIGHT POPS WITH MAIN FOCUS FOR THE PRE MIDNIGHT PERIOD GEARED TOWARD RADAR TRENDS. ADJUSTED QPF A LITTLE AND TWEAKED UP CLOUDS SOME. NO TEMP CHANGES THOUGH. 43 && .PREV DISCUSSION...616 PM MDT THU JUN 27 2013... .AVIATION... 00Z TAF CYCLE EXTREME HEAT TODAY HAS TIED OR BROKEN SEVERAL RECORDS AND EVEN SOME ALL-TIME RECORDS. JUST ENOUGH MID LEVEL MOISTURE WAS PRESENT TODAY WITH STRONG HEATING TO CREATE GUSTY OUTFLOW FROM SHRA/TSRA PRIMARILY OVER AND NEAR THE HIGH TERRAIN OF NORTHERN NM. ACTIVITY WILL MOVE SLOWLY SW THRU THE EVENING BEFORE TAPERING OFF. EAST WINDS EXPECTED AT KABQ WILL PEAK AGAIN LATER TONIGHT NEAR 25KTS. ANOTHER ROUND OF EXTREME HEAT FRIDAY WILL BE TAPERED BY BETTER COVERAGE OF SHRA/TSRA BY LATE DAY. PLACED VCTS AT MANY TAF SITES TO ACCOUNT FOR MORE WIDESPREAD ACTIVITY ADVERTISED BY GUIDANCE. GUYER .PREV DISCUSSION...324 PM MDT THU JUN 27 2013... SEVERAL WEATHER STORIES HERE...WITH RECORD HEAT AND THE POTENTIAL FOR VIRGA-"BOMBS"...THEN AN INCREASE IN MOISTURE AS A "REVERSE" MONSOON KICKS-IN LATER IN THE WEEKEND AND CARRIES THROUGH INTO NEXT WEEK. AT 3 PM...THE ALBUQUERQUE SUNPORT HIT 105...2 DEGREES BELOW OUR ALL-TIME RECORD HIGH AND BEATING OUR DAILY RECORD HIGH BY 1 DEGREE...PREVIOUSLY SET IN 1994. ELSEWHERE...SEVERAL NEAR RECORD HIGHS SHOWING-UP. OTHER NOTABLE 3 PM TEMPS INCLUDE SOCORRO AT 106...ROSWELL AT 106... TUCUMCARI AT 108...CLAYTON AT 102 AND RATON AND SANTA FE AIRPORT AT 99. 12Z KABQ UPPER AIR SOUNDING INCORRECTLY SHOWED A PWAT OF 0.11 INCH...SHOULD BE CLOSER TO 0.40 INCH PER THE ESRL GROUND-BASED GPS-IPW (PWAT). THIS SLIGHTLY HIGHER PWAT EXPLAINS THE CUMULUS FIELD POPPING EARLIER THAN YESTERDAY OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND THE UPTICK IN CONVECTION TODAY...THOUGH STILL MOSTLY DRY ACTIVITY. ANGEL FIRE HAD A 60 DEGREE DEWPOINT DEPRESSION AT 2 PM...AND SEVERAL OTHER SITES REPORTED DEPRESSIONS APPROACHING 70 DEGREES...SO THIS ROUND IS LIKELY TO PRODUCE VIRGA-BOMBS WITH DAMAGING WINDS POSSIBLE. MORE OF THE SAME TOMORROW...BUT THE HEAT BUBBLE WILL SHIFT TO OVER NE AZ WHICH WILL ALLOW LOW LAYER MOISTURE TO CREEP FURTHER WEST AND ANOTHER UPTICK IN DAYTIME HEATING-TRIGGERED CONVECTION. RECORD OR NEAR RECORD HIGHS FORECAST ACROSS THE NORTHWEST QUARTER...BUT SOME MILD RELIEF CENTRAL AND EAST WITH TEMPERATURES TRENDING DOWN BY 1-5 DEGREES. THIS DOWNWARD TREND IN TEMPERATURES...UPWARD TREND IN MOISTURE AND DAILY ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND...WITH A "REVERSE" MONSOON IN FULL SWING BY SUNDAY AS THE UPPER HIGH BECOMES CENTERED OVER THE NV/UT BORDER AND A NORTHERLY FLOW ALOFT SETTING-UP ACROSS OUR AREA. TEMPERATURES WILL TREND DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY WITH RAIN-COOING AND ADDITIONAL CLOUDS...BRINGING A WELCOMED BREAK TO THE PROLONGED HEAT AND LACK OF PRECIPITATION. PRECIPITATION CHANCES FROM SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY LOOK TO FAVOR THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AND ADJACENT PLAINS/VALLEYS...WITH THE SANGRE DE CRISTOS AND NORTHEAST HIGHLANDS LIKELY BENEFITING THE MOST. THE UPPER FLOW WILL BECOME NORTHWESTERLY LATE WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY AS THE SYNOPTIC WEATHER PATTERN CHANGES ONCE AGAIN. A BROAD UPPER LOW IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP DURING THAT TIME OVER THE CENTRAL ROCKIES AND CENTRAL PLAINS AS A WEAKER UPPER HIGH BECOMES ESTABLISHED OVER THE DESERT SW AND NW MEXICO. EVEN WITH NO ADDITIONAL MOISTURE...RECYCLING WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO CARRY CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY. 11 .FIRE WEATHER... POTENTIALLY HOTTEST DAY OF THE SEASON OCCURRING TODAY. ABQ SUNPORT CURRENTLY AT 104 DEG. OVERALL PATTERN WILL SLOWLY TRANSITION FROM THIS DAY AS MOISTURE PUSHES FURTHER SOUTH AND WEST DURING THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THE STORMS WILL START OUT ON THE DRIER SIDE LIKE WHAT IS OCCURRING ACROSS THE NORTH CENTRAL MOUNTAINS BUT THEY WILL TREND WETTER IN THE COMING DAYS. BASED ON THE LATEST MODELS...THE DRIER VARIETY OF STORMS WILL BE FOUND ACROSS THE WESTERN THIRD TO POSSIBLY HALF THROUGH THE WEEKEND. A MIX OF WETTER AND DRIER ACTIVITY WILL BE FOUND ALONG AND EAST OF THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY. AS WITH ANY CONVECTION...BOTH DRY AND WET...GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS...PERHAPS EVEN MICROBURST WINDS COULD OCCUR. THE LATTER STAGES OF THE DRIER MONSOON PERIOD IS RIPE FOR VERY STRONG WINDS PROVIDING BLOWING ASH WITHIN PRE/EXISTING FIRES AS WELL AS BLOWING DUST. MODELS HAVE A HARD TIME DEPICTING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE PUSHES TO THE WEST VIA CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW BOUNDARYS FROM WETTER STORMS IN THE EAST. THUS...THIS WILL MAKE HUMIDITY FORECASTING SOMEWHAT TOUGH FROM MORNING TO LATE AFTERNOON. DECIDED TO LOWER DEWPOINTS BELOW GUIDANCE NUMBERS ACROSS THE NORTHWEST THIRD DUE TO THE MID LEVEL DRY SLOT PROXIMITY. THIS AREA WILL SEE IMPROVING HUMIDITY RECOVERIES AS TIME GOES BUT THEN MIX OUT PRETTY VIGOROUSLY DURING THE MID/LATE AFTERNOON. ONLY OTHER REAL CHANGE TO THE GRIDDED FORECAST CAME WITH THE DEPICTION OF GAP WINDS AT BOTH SANTA FE/ABQ AND A LITTLE BIT NEAR TAOS. DECIDED TO GO A LITTLE STRONGER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. QUITE A THERMAL GRADIENT WILL SET UP BETWEEN THE WEST AND EAST. DUE TO THE UPPER HIGH PROXIMITY THROUGH SUNDAY...MAINLY FOUR CORNERS TO SOUTHERN GREAT BASIN...WIND FLOWS WILL BE ON THE LIGHTER SIDE. EXCEPTIONS INCLUDE OUTFLOW WINDS...GAP WINDS ALONG THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AS WELL AS LOWLAND THERMALS WHICH CAN BE QUITE STRONG DUE TO ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND STEEP SUN ANGLES THIS TIME OF YEAR. SUPER HAINES WILL BE SEEN THROUGH REST OF THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS WESTERN AND CENTRAL AREAS. IT APPEARS WE SEE THE LAST OF SUPER HAINES...POTENTIALLY FOR THE SEASON...THEREAFTER. HAINES 6 VALUES HOWEVER SHOULD REMAIN ACROSS THE WESTERN THIRD OR SO ON FRIDAY AND NORTHWEST THIRD ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. WETTING PRECIPITATION WILL BECOME MORE PREVALENT ALONG THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS...ESPECIALLY EAST SLOPES OF THE SANGRES AND EASTERN PLAINS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THIS TYPE OF MOISTURE PUSH THIS TIME OF YEAR HAS AFFECTIONATELY BEEN CALLED THE REVERSE MONSOON FLOW PATTERN IN PAST YEARS. MOISTURE COMING IN FROM THE HIGH PLAINS AND TO A LESSER EXTENT THE GULF OF MEXICO VERSUS THE VERY MOISTURE RICH AREAS LIKE THE SEA OF CORTEZ/MEXICAN SIERRA MADRE AND GULF OF MEXICO. MODELS STILL DEPICT A FAIRLY PERSISTENT PATTERN THROUGH AT LEAST TUESDAY. VERY DOMINANT UPPER HIGH BUILDS NORTHWARD ACROSS THE WESTERN TIER OF THE US. MOISTURE SURGES ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS AND PUSHING WESTWARD WOULD CONTINUE. ONCE AGAIN...THE DRIEST AREA IN TERMS OF HUMIDITY AND STORM WETNESS WOULD BE FOUND ACROSS THE NORTHWEST THIRD OR SO. THIS INCLUDES THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE JEMEZ RANGE...ZUNI MTNS NORTHWARD TO THE CHUSKAS. WETTER ACTIVITY WOULD BE FOUND ELSEWHERE. WEDNESDAY ONWARD GETS A LITTLE UGLY IN THE WEATHER MODELS. ECMWF AND GFS ARE PAINTING AN UNUSUAL PATTERN WITH A CLOSED LOW DEVELOPING TO THE NORTH AND PERHAPS A RETURN OF THE DRIER WESTERLIES. RECYCLING OF MOISTURE IN THE FORM OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WOULD CONTINUE ALTHOUGH UNSURE AS TO WHAT EXTENT. LATTER HALF OF NEXT WEEK IS ONE BIG QUESTION MARK AND WILL HAVE TO WATCH MODEL CONTINUITY BEFORE RAISING CONFIDENCE LEVELS MORE THAN LOW FOR THAT PERIOD. ESPECIALLY SINCE MODELS HAVE BEEN JUMPING AROUND A BIT IN THEIR PATTERN DEPICTION FOR THAT PERIOD. STAY TUNED. 50 && .ABQ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && 43
