Northwest flow dominated the upper level weather pattern as a trough continued to move east into Texas. At the surface a high pressure system built over western Colorado and a surface low deepened into north Texas.
Deaths and injuries are direct and indirect together, as the offices filed them. Damage is property and crops in the dollars of the year, not adjusted for inflation, and only where an office estimated it.
The episode as NWS ABQ wrote it up.
Northwest flow dominated the upper level weather pattern as a trough continued to move east into Texas. At the surface a high pressure system built over western Colorado and a surface low deepened into north Texas. An associated cold front with the strong northwest winds aloft led to breezy to windy conditions across the central mountain chain and into the adjacent eastern plains by late morning lasting into the evening hours. Most locations stayed within wind advisory criteria with a handful hitting high wind speeds to the lee of the mountains and southeastern plains.
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 Jan 10, 4:46 AM MST, 5 hours 44 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM 446 AM MST FRI JAN 10 2014 .AVIATION... 12Z TAF CYCLE PACIFIC TROUGH CURRENTLY EXITING THE AREA. RESIDUAL MID LVL CLOUD DECKS WILL BE FOUND ACROSS THE NC MTNS DURING PERIODS OF THE DAY TODAY. THIS WOULD CREATE SOME MTN TOP OBSCD AT TIMES. OTHERWISE VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED NEXT 24 HRS. WIND WILL PROBABLY BE THE BIGGER HAZARD. FLOW CURRENTLY STRENGTHENING OUT OF THE NORTHWEST IN THE WAKE OF THE DEPARTING LOW. LEE MTN WAVES WILL INITIALLY DVLP AND THEN TRANSITION TO INCREASING SFC WINDS PRETTY MUCH AREAWIDE. MODEL GUIDANCE VARIES AT THE TERMINAL SITES THUS MAKING SPEEDS SOMEWHAT TRICKY. THINKING NEAR 30 KT GUSTS AT AEG/SAF AND ABQ. DUE TO THE NORTHWEST FLOW ASPECT CANT RULE OUT AWW SPEEDS FOR A BRIEF PERIOD THIS AFTERNOON AT ABQ. LOOKING AT 30 TO 35 KT GUSTS AT LVS/TCC AND ROW. ONCE THE SUN SETS THEN WINDS WILL BE LIGHTER MOST SITES EXCEPT TO THE LEE OF THE CNTRL MTNS. DIDNT INCLUDE VIS RESTRICTIONS AT ROW DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF BLDU THIS AFTERNOON BUT WILL NEED TO WATCH THAT. PERHAPS AT TCC AS WELL. 50 && .PREV DISCUSSION...315 AM MST FRI JAN 10 2014... CURRENTLY...TURBULENT NORTHWEST FLOW SQUARELY OVER NEW MEXICO AS TROUGH OVERHEAD HAS MADE ITS MOVE DEEP INTO THE HEART OF TEXAS. IR IMAGERY SHOWING DISTINCT WESTERN EDGE OF CLOUD SHIELD LYING ALONG A PENCIL LINE FROM CLOVIS TO ROSWELL...AND THIS WILL PUSH FURTHER EAST OVER THE NEXT FEW HORUS. SOME WRAP AROUND CLOUD PENETRATING NORTHERN NEW MEXICO...BUT LITTLE SNOWFALL IS MAKING IT TO THE GROUND AS DOME OF SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN. COMPLEX FRONTAL STRUCTURE AT THE SURFACE...WITH FRONTAL SPOKES RADIATING FROM SURFACE LOW OVER THE WESTERN TIP OF THE OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE. STATIONARY FRONT EXTENDS NORTH TO SOUTH ALONG THE EASTERN BORDER OF NEW MEXICO...WHILE COLD PUSH OUT OF THE PASSING SYSTEM SETS UP A COLD FRONT CURRENTLY DRAPED ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER OF THE STATE WITH SOUTH AND EAST MOVEMENT THROUGH THE DAYTIME TODAY. MODELS...IN REASONABLE AGREEMENT THROUGH THE UPCOMING WORK WEEK AND INTO THE FIRST HALF OF THE FOLLOWING WEEKEND. SOME DIFFERENCES IN UPSTREAM PATTERN EVOLUTION AND TIMING EMERGE LATE IN THE FOLLOWING WEEKEND...BEYOND THE REACH OF OUR CURRENT FORECAST PACKAGE THIS ROUND. PLAUSIBLE CONSENSUS PLACES NEW MEXICO IN TURBULENT AND BLUSTERY NORTHWEST FLOW THROUGH THE DAY TODAY IN THE WAKE OF THE PASSING SYSTEM. NEXT NORTH PACIFIC SYSTEM CRANKING UP OFF THE BRITISH COLUMBIA COAST WILL MAKE LANDFALL OVER VANCOUVER ISLAND AND PUGET SOUND SATURDAY AND DIG SOUTHWARD TO THE FOUR CORNERS ON SUNDAY. TROUGH WILL SOUTH AND EAST INTO TEXAS THROUGH MONDAY MORNING...RETURNING NEW MEXICO TO TURBULENT NORTHWEST FLOW BY MONDAY AFTERNOON. UPSTREAM EAST PACIFIC RIDGE CORE WILL DRIFT INTO THE LOWER SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY OF CENTRAL CALIFORNIA TUESDAY NIGHT...EASING NORTHWEST WIND SPEEDS ALOFT THROUGH THE HEART OF THE WORK WEEK. NEXT SYSTEM AMPLIFYING OVER THE CANADIAN ROCKIES WEDNESDAY WILL DIG TO OKLAHOMA ON THURSDAY...LEAVING NEW MEXICO ON THE WESTERN SIDELINES OUT OF THE WEATHER EXCITEMENT. AMPLIFYING RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN U.S. WILL COLLAPSE OVER NEW MEXICO HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND. SOME DIFFERENCES EMERGING ON WHATS TO COME...WITH ECMWF BRINGING A PACIFIC WAVE ONSHORE LATE IN THE WEEKEND AND DIGGING IT TO THE FOUR CORNERS ON MONDAY. GFS BRINGS A MUCH MORE AMPLIFIED TROUGH ACROSS THE WESTERN U.S. LATE IN THE WEEKEND...BUT KEEPS SYSTEM SLOWER AND WEST OF NEW MEXICO THROUGH MONDAY. UNCERTAINTY UNDERPINNED BY A BROADER TROUGH COMMON SIGNAL...THUS HAVE TILTED EXTENDED THINKING TOWARD A MORE UNSETTLED PATTERN FOR LATE NEXT WEEKEND INTO THE FOLLOWING WORK WEEK. FOR TODAY...SOME FREEZING FOG OVER THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS NEAR THE COLORADO LINE TO START...BURNING OFF AS NORTHWEST FLOW KICKS IN ALOFT AND WEATHER SYSTEM CLEARS TO THE EAST. HAVE KEPT SOME ISOLATED SNOW SHOWERS IN OVER THE SUMMITS OF THE SAN JUANS AND SANGRE DE CRISTOS...BUT EXPECTED ONLY MODEST ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATIONS. DOME OF HIGH SURFACE PRESSURE BUILDING INTO WESTERN COLORADO AS SURFACE LOW DEEPENS OVER NORTH TEXAS WILL SET UP AGGRESSIVE NORTHWEST FLOW ACROSS NEW MEXICO...AND WILL HOIST WIND ADVISORY TO START THE SANGRE DE CRISTO SUMMITS AND EASTERN SLOPES THIS MORNING...WITH WINDY CONDITIONS EXPANDING DOWN THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN...THE EAST SLOPES...AND ADJACENT EASTERN PLAINS BY LATE MORNING WELL INTO THE EVENING. COOL PUSH SOUTH AND EAST ACROSS THE STATE WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES PRETTY CLOSE TO NORMAL FOR MID JANUARY...A LITTLE ABOVE NORMAL IN THE EAST OUT AHEAD OF THE FRONT. FOR SATURDAY...NORTHWEST WIND SPEEDS ALOFT EASING UP WITH DOME OF HIGH PRESSURE REMAINING OVER WESTERN COLORADO...AND TROUGH WEAKENING OVER THE TEXAS PANHANDLE...ALL COMBINING TO BRING SATURDAY WIND SPEEDS DOWN A NOTCH. BREEZES WILL CONTINUE OVER THE EAST SLOPES AND ADJACENT EASTERN PLAINS OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN WILL INTO SATURDAY NIGHT...AS WIND DIRECTIONS BACK TO WESTERLY IN ADVANCE OF NEXT INBOUND WEATHER SYSTEM. A DRY DAY...WITH STRONG WARM UP PUSHING TEMPERATURES 8 TO 15 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL IN THE EAST...AND 5 TO 10 DEGREES ABOVE MID JANUARY NORMALS IN THE WEST. SOME MORNING FREEZING FOG POSSIBLE FOR THE COLORADO BORDER COUNTRY NEAR THE SAN JUANS AND SANGRE DE CRISTO MOUNTAINS BURNING OFF BY LATE MORNING. FOR SUNDAY...INBOUND PACIFIC NORTHWEST SYSTEM WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE STATE SUNDAY...AS SURFACE LOW DEEPENS RAPIDLY OVER WESTERN KANSAS AND OKLAHOMA...AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS EASTWARD OUT OF NORTHERN NEVADA INTO UTAH AND WESTERN COLORADO. TIGHT SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT SETTING UP ACROSS NEW MEXICO COMBINED WITH SOUTHEASTBOUND COLD FRONT WILL KICK UP WESTERLY WIND SPEEDS FROM THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN EAST ON THE EARLY SIDE OF SUNDAY MORNING...WITH WIND SPEEDS UP TO ADVISORY LEVELS BY LATE MORNING...AND FLIRTING WITH HIGH WIND WARNING CRITERIA OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE STATE THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON AS DIRECTIONS VEER TO NORTHWESTERLY. A GOOD SOLID BREEZY DAY ELSEWHERE...WITH COLD PUSH FROM THE NORTHWEST BRINGING WESTERN TEMPERATURES BACK DOWN TO NORMAL...AS THE EAST BASKS IN 8 TO 15 DEGREES ABOVE MID JANUARY NORMALS WARMTH. DRY EASTERN CONDITIONS AND GUSTY WINDS WILL PRODUCE FAVORABLE CONDITIONS FOR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER...WITH FIRE WEATHER WATCH GOING UP FOR THIS AREA WITH THIS MORNINGS PACKAGE. ISOLATED SNOW SHOWERS WILL FOLLOW SYSTEM MOVEMENT ACROSS NORTHERN NEW MEXICO. DRY ORIGINS WILL PRECLUDE MUCH SNOW ACCUMULATION...AS SPOTTY SNOW SHOWER FOCUS SHIFTS TOT HE NORTHEAST PLAINS THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. FOR MONDAY...NORTHWEST FLOW AND COLD PUSH WILL PUSH TEMPERATURES BACK TO NORMAL OR A FEW DEGREES BELOW IN THE WEST...AND BRING THE EAST MUCH CLOSER TO NORMAL TO REVERSE THE WEEKEND WARM UP. CONTINUED TIGHT SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN WESTERN COLORADO HIGH PRESSURE DOME AND TROUGH FROM WESTERN NEBRASKA SOUTH AND WEST TO THE NEW MEXICO BOOT HEEL. NORTHWEST AFTERNOON BREEZES WILL CONTINUE OVER THE EASTERN SLOPES AND ADJACENT EASTERN PLAINS OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN...WITH SPEEDS CONSIDERABLY REDUCED OVER THOSE OBSERVED ON SUNDAY. OUTLOOK...TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...DRY THROUGH THE PERIOD AS RIDGE BUILDS IN THE WEST AND FAST NORTHWESTERLY FLOW IS SHOVED OFF INTO THE PLAINS STATES TO THE EAST. WEAK SHORTWAVE IN GENTLE NORTHWEST FLOW WILL DROP SOUTHWARD ACROSS NEW MEXICO ON THURSDAY...USHERING IN SLOP OF COLDER AIR WESTWARD ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE STATE THROUGH THE DAY ON THURSDAY. WARMING TREND THROUGH WEDNESDAY WILL LEVEL OFF AND REVERSE ON THURSDAY AS THE COOLER AIR MOVES THROUGH...BUT TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN A FEW DEGREES EITHER SIDE OF MID JANUARY NORMALS OVER THE HEART OF THE WORK WEEK. SHY .FIRE WEATHER... STILL LOOKING AT A POSSIBLE CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER GROWTH EVENT FOR PORTIONS OF THE EASTERN PLAINS SUNDAY AFTERNOON. ESPECIALLY CENTERED ACROSS THE EAST CENTRAL PLAINS BUT INCLUDING PORTIONS OF THE NORTHEAST PLAINS. WILL GO AHEAD AND ISSUE A FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR SUNDAY AFTERNOON. UNUSUALLY HIGH MIXING HEIGHTS/MARGINALLY LOW RH/STRONG WINDS/ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND A FAIRLY CONTINUOUS AND DORMANT GRASS CROP ARE THE DRIVING FACTORS FOR THIS DECISION. AS FAR AS THE NEAR TERM...PACIFIC TROUGH CURRENTLY EXITING THE AREA TO THE EAST. IN ITS WAKE WILL BE STRONG TO VERY STRONG NORTHWEST FLOW. WINDS LOOK TO BE ESPECIALLY STRONG AT TIMES ALONG THE HIGHER RIDGES OF THE CENTRAL MTNS AS WELL AS TO THE LEE OF THE CENTRAL MTNS. SNOW SHOWERS IMPACTED THE FAR NORTH OVERNIGHT BUT CHANCES WILL BE PRETTY MINIMAL DURING THE DAY PERIOD TODAY. TEMPERATURES WILL COOL PRETTY MUCH AREA WIDE. LOOKING AT NEAR TO SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL AFTERNOON READINGS WESTERN AND CENTRAL AREAS BUT DUE TO DOWN SLOPING EFFECTS 3 TO 6 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS. CURRENTLY HAVE RH VALUES ABOVE 15 PCT ACROSS THE EAST BUT CANT RULE OUT SOME ISOLD 15 PCT READINGS EAST CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST PLAINS. MIXING HEIGHTS APPEAR TO BE ABOVE AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR SO VENTILATION RATES WILL BE PRETTY GOOD. STRONG LEE MTN WAVE WINDS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE AT LEAST INTO THE EVENING HOURS ACROSS THE SANDIA/MANZANO MTNS AND ADJACENT HIGH PLAINS. RH RECOVERIES WILL GO UP ACROSS A LARGE PORTION OF THE AREA. SATURDAY REMAINS THE TRANSITION DAY AS THE UPPER WIND FLOW LESSENS SOME. THIS WILL TRANSLATE TO LESSER SFC WINDS. TEMPERATURES WILL WARM DUE TO THE NEAR ZONAL FLOW AHEAD OF THE NEXT PACIFIC TROUGH. LOOKING AT A FAIRLY SUNNY DAY WITH HIGH TEMPS RANGING BETWEEN 5 TO 10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL WESTERN AND CENTRAL AREAS. AROUND 10 TO 15 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS. DESPITE THE SFC WARMING...MIXING HEIGHTS WILL LOWER SUBSTANTIALLY THANKS TO POST COLD FRONTAL INVERSION EFFECTS. THUS VENT RATES WILL LOWER QUITE A BIT. ALL OF THE MODELS REMAIN PRETTY BULLISH FOR A STRONGER WIND SCENARIO ON SUNDAY. THE GFS IS A BIT QUICKER ON THE TROUGH AXIS PROGRESSION THAN THE ECMWF AND FAIRLY SIMILAR TO THE NAM MODEL. EITHER WAY...RESIDUAL DOWN SLOPE WARMING SHOULD REMAIN ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS. WIND FLOWS LOOK TO BE QUITE STRONG ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE EAST AND BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPACT MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA SUNDAY AFTERNOON. THE CURRENT MIXING HEIGHT FORECAST CALLS FOR UNUSUALLY HIGH VALUES. BETWEEN 90 TO 95 PERCENTILE VALUES. CONTINUED TO UNDERCUT MODEL GUIDANCE FOR DEW POINTS ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE EAST DUE TO INCREASED MECHANICAL MIXING. MODELS HAVE OVER FORECASTED HUMIDITY VALUES UNDER SIMILAR CONDITIONS THE PAST FEW WEEKS. CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER GROWTH CONDITIONS ARE VERY POSSIBLE WITH THIS TROUGH PATTERN ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS. DECIDED TO ISSUE A WATCH FOR ZONES 104 AND 108. LEFT 103 OUT DUE TO SOME CLOUD COVER AND COLD AIR ADVECTION UNCERTAINTIES. THE GFS IS SOMEWHAT BULLISH ON A NORTHERN WIND SHIFT ACROSS THE FAR NORTHEAST PLAINS AND THAT COULD MITIGATE CRITICAL CONDITIONS. WONT GET TOO FANCY ON THE WORDING RIGHT NOW BUT COULD SEE PORTIONS OF ZONE 104 TRIMMED FROM THE WATCH AND/OR WARNING AS WE GET NEARER TO THE EVENT. ANOTHER STRONGER NORTHWEST WIND WILL DEVELOP IN THE WAKE OF THE TROUGH PASSAGE SUNDAY NIGHT WITH LASTING EFFECTS INTO MONDAY. COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL ALLOW DEW POINTS TO DROP LIKE A ROCK DURING THIS PERIOD SO WE ARE GETTING SOME SUB 15 PCT VALUES ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS. WIND SPEEDS WILL ALSO LOWER SO NOT LOOKING FOR CRITICAL CONDITIONS. HIGH TEMP ANOMALIES WOULD ALSO BE RATHER PALTRY DUE TO THE COOLING BEHIND THE TROUGH. VENTILATION WILL PEAK ON SUNDAY AND LOWER MONDAY. STILL LOOKING AT SOME DECENT VALUES ON MONDAY THOUGH. SHOULD MENTION THAT THE ECMWF IS BACK TO PAINTING SOME PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND EASTERN TIER LATER SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. GFS REMAINS LESS BULLISH BUT SOMETHING TO WATCH. WEATHER MODELS REMAIN STEADFAST WITH DEVELOPING A DRIER NORTH/NORTHWEST FLOW OVER THE STATE TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. VENTILATION WOULD LOWER AS A RESULT OF LESSENING SFC WINDS. GFS IS A BIT MORE BULLISH ON A DRY COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE WED NIGHT INTO THURSDAY. ECMWF LAGS BY 12 TO 24 HRS BUT ALSO SHOWS SOME SORT OF FRONTAL PASSAGE. FIGURE THIS WOULD BE A COLD AIR ADVECTION PATTERN AND LOWERED DEW POINTS A LITTLE BELOW MODEL GUIDANCE AS A RESULT. 50 && .ABQ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
