The episode as NWS ABQ wrote it up.
A deep upper level low approached the New Mexico Arizona border during the morning of the 9th, with a disturbance rounding its base over far southeast New Mexico. This feature helped set off strong to severe early morning thunderstorms across parts of the eastern plains, moving north northeast. Hail reports from these thunderstorms were generally pea to half inch in size, but the largest report was penny size southeast of Tucumcari, New Mexico. No damage resulted from the hail.
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 8, 10:48 PM MST, 3 hours 17 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM 1148 PM MDT FRI MAY 8 2015 .AVIATION... 06Z TAF CYCLE DRYLINE ACROSS WESTERN EDGE OF THE EASTERN PLAINS LIKELY TO BEGIN A SLOW EASTWARD PROGRESSION AGAIN AFTER 08Z-10Z TIME RANGE... PERHAPS JUST A BIT LATER. STILL A FEW SHRA/TSRA MAY DEVELOP MAINLY FROM THE SANGRE DE CRISTOS ON EAST AND THE NW MTS ON WEST STARTING SOMETIME BETWEEN 08Z AND 11Z. MT OBSCURATIONS POSS MAINLY NORTH AND CENTRAL PORTION OF SANGRE DE CRISTOS IN AND NEAR CONVECTION. CONFIDENCE STILL NOT HIGH ENOUGH FOR TEMPO GROUP AT TCC. STILL SOME RISK FOR PATCHY IFR EVEN LOCALLY LIFR CIGS MAINLY NEAR AND EAST OF A LINE FROM EAST SLOPES OF THE SANGRE DE CRISTOS TO SANTA ROSA TO ROW...INCLUDING TCC AND POSS LVS AND ROW. ISOLATED TO SCT -SHRA/-TSRA WITH GUSTY WINDS MAINLY NW HALF LATE MORN AND AFTN SAT. ALSO LOOKING AT ANOTHER ROUND OF GUSTY SW TO W WINDS MOST AREAS...BUT STRONGEST ACROSS THE EAST HALF OF THE FCST AREA. 43 && .PREV DISCUSSION...912 PM MDT FRI MAY 8 2015... .UPDATE... TORNADO WATCH HAS EXPIRED. REMOVED SEVERE THREAT FROM THE NE ZONES. LOWERED POPS SOME FOR MOST EASTERN ZONES. && .PREV DISCUSSION...340 PM MDT FRI MAY 8 2015... .SYNOPSIS... ONCE AGAIN THE DRYLINE INVADED EAST CENTRAL NEW MEXICO LAST NIGHT...WHILE A COLD FRONT HAS OVERTAKEN THE NORTHEASTERN QUADRANT OF THE STATE. THE DRYLINE SEPARATES DRY AIR TO THE WEST AND MOIST UNSTABLE AIR TO THE EAST...AND THE COLD FRONT IS SEPARATING WARM AND DRY AIR TO THE SOUTHWEST FROM COOL MOIST AIR TO THE NORTHEAST. THE FRONT HAS NOW OVERTAKEN THE DRYLINE...AND THIS BOUNDARY WILL HELP TRIGGER SHOWERS AND STORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING...AND SOME STORMS MAY BECOME STRONG TO SEVERE IN THE EASTERN TIER OF THE STATE. FARTHER WEST...A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS DEPARTING CALIFORNIA...AND DRIFTING INTO ARIZONA. THIS HAS BROUGHT BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS TO NEW MEXICO. THE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO STRENGTHEN INTO SATURDAY AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM SWEEPS OVER THE FOUR CORNERS REGION AND INTO COLORADO. PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL ALSO INCREASE WITH THE PASSAGE OF THIS SYSTEM SATURDAY...AND WILL LINGER INTO SUNDAY WITH THE NORTH CENTRAL TO NORTHWESTERN SECTIONS OF NEW MEXICO REMAINING THE FAVORED AREAS. && .DISCUSSION... IT HAS BEEN A BUSY DAY CHASING THE FORECAST...AND FORECAST MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE SIGNIFICANT DIFFICULTIES IN RESOLVING THE PLACEMENT OF THE DRYLINE AND THE BACK DOOR FRONT INTO THE NORTHEASTERN QUADRANT OF THE STATE. THESE TWO SURFACE BOUNDARIES ARE CRITICAL IN THE SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING...AND THUS HEFTY RAMIFICATIONS ARE IN STORE FROM ANY MISPLACEMENT BY THE MODELS. CURRENTLY THE DRYLINE INTRUSION HAS BECOME OVERSHADOWED BY THE BACK DOOR COLD FRONT WITH HEALTHY DEWPOINTS IN THE 50S BEING STEADILY PUSHED INTO THE EAST CENTRAL TO NORTHEASTERN ZONES ALONG WITH AN EASTERLY UPSLOPE COMPONENT. NEAR AND ALONG THE EDGE OF THIS BOUNDARY SEEMS LIKE A FOCAL POINT FOR CONVECTION TO BLOSSOM LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. TORNADO WATCHES 142 AND 144 REMAIN IN EFFECT OF THIS WRITING...HOWEVER 142 WILL BE EXPIRING AT 4 PM MDT WITH AN EXTENSION POSSIBLE. OTHERWISE THIS MORNING'S SHORT WAVE TROUGH HAS EXITED INTO TX/OK...A SUBTLE DUDE THAT PACKED A VIGOROUS SLUG OF LIFT AND FORCING FOR THE STORMS SHORTLY AFTER SUNRISE. WITH THE UPPER LOW WORKING OVER SOUTHERN NV...THE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT HAS INCREASED OVER NM...AND SOME OF THIS STRONGER MOMENTUM IS MIXING DOWN TO THE SURFACE IN THE FORM OF BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS. PRECIPITATION HAS BEEN ISOLATED OR RATHER SCANT IN THE NORTH CENTRAL TO NORTHWESTERN ZONES...AIDED BY SOME OROGRAPHICS. EXPECT THIS AREA TO OBSERVE A SLIGHT EXPANSION IN PRECIPITATION COVERAGE OVERNIGHT...EVEN WITH TEMPERATURE LAPSE RATES STABILIZING AS THE ATMOSPHERE DECOUPLES. HAVE BUILT IN SOME CLOUDY CONDITIONS INTO THE EASTERN TIER OF COUNTIES FOR SATURDAY MORNING TO ACCOUNT FOR HIGHER BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE THAT SHOULD STAY INTACT AND INCREASE WITH A MERGING OF THE DRYLINE AND REMNANTS OF THE AFOREMENTIONED BACK DOOR FRONT. THE LOW WILL QUICKLY CROSS THE FOUR CORNERS BEFORE NOON SATURDAY WITH AN INCREASE IN PRECIPITATION COVERAGE OVER THE NORTH CENTRAL TO NORTHWESTERN ZONES NOT ONLY DURING THE MORNING...BUT ESPECIALLY AFTER NOON WHEN TEMPERATURE LAPSE RATES DESTABILIZE AGAIN. DYNAMIC COOLING WILL ALSO ACCOMPANY THE PASSAGE OF THE LOW AND ATTENDANT PACIFIC FRONT...AND WINDS WILL ALSO TURN NOTABLY STRONGER THAN TODAY. WINDS WILL BE STRONGEST IN THE NORTHEAST QUADRANT OF THE STATE...AND AN ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED FOR THIS AREA SATURDAY. IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT SNOW LEVELS WILL TAKE A BIG DIVE SATURDAY MORNING...BUT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO GAIN MUCH BEFORE THE LEVELS BEGIN RISING AGAIN DURING THE DAYTIME SATURDAY. STILL...WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE 2 TO 5 INCHES ABOVE 9000 FEET BY SATURDAY EVENING. UPPER LOW WILL RAPIDLY ESCAPE TO THE GREAT PLAINS BY SUNDAY MORNING WHILE A TRAILING SHORT WAVE TROUGH DIVES SOUTHWARD ON THE BACKSIDE OF IT. THIS WILL DRIVE ADDITIONAL PRECIPITATION INTO THE NORTH CENTRAL TO NORTHWESTERN ZONES SUNDAY. WINDS WILL REMAIN BRISK AND TURN MORE WEST NORTHWEST...BUT WILL TAKE A DRAMATIC DOWNTICK IN SPEED. THE BACK DOOR FRONT THAT HAS BEEN ADVERTISED FOR SUNDAY NIGHT APPEARS TO ARRIVE MUCH FASTER VIA THE NAM MODEL SOLUTION. THIS SEEMS PLAUSIBLE...AND SOME PRECIPITATION COULD BREAK OUT ALONG ITS LEADING EDGE NEAR AND EAST OF THE RATON RIDGE SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THIS FRONT SHOULD HAVE FULLY INVADED THE EASTERN PLAINS OF NM BY DAYBREAK MONDAY. PRECIPITATION WOULD BE SCANT AND RELEGATED TO THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS MONDAY WHILE WINDS SETTLE...BUT QUICKLY VEER EAST SOUTHEASTERLY IN THE PLAINS OF THE STATE. FORECAST MODELS CONTINUE TO BICKER AND DISAGREE ON THE UPPER LEVEL FEATURES FOR THE REST OF NEXT WEEK. HOWEVER...THEY ARE IN AGREEMENT OF AT LEAST SOME SEMBLANCE OF SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT AND A MOIST SOUTHEAST RETURN FLOW AT THE SURFACE THROUGH MID WEEK. THIS WOULD ADVECT COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF GULF MOISTURE INTO AT LEAST EASTERN NEW MEXICO...BUT PERHAPS EVEN SOME CENTRAL TO WESTERN PARTS. THIS SHOULD LEAD TO AN UPTICK IN STORM COVERAGE TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AS THE SURFACE FLOW REGIME APPEARS TO BE PERSISTENT. THE MOISTURE MAY EVEN LINGER THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK ACCORDING TO THE GFS. ENHANCEMENTS TO STORM INITIATION AND COVERAGE MAY COME FROM ANY PERTURBATIONS IN THE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT. 52 && .FIRE WEATHER... A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT PUSHED FARTHER SOUTHWEST THAN MODELS FORECAST THIS MORNING...RESULTING IN AN AREA OF HIGHER DEWPOINTS ACROSS NE NM. THIS HAS TEMPERED THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE DRIER AIR EAST...KEEPING HUMIDITY VALUES UP TODAY IN THE REGION. IT WILL ALSO LEAD TO ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE NE. SURFACE WINDS WILL PERSIST ENOUGH OUT OF THE EAST TONIGHT IN THE NE TO BOOST HUMIDITY RECOVERIES AND FORM LOW CLOUDS AND/OR FOG. ELSEWHERE...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL PROVIDE SPOTTY WETTING PRECIP TO THE WESTERN AND NORTHERN HIGH TERRAIN THIS EVENING. THE UPPER LEVEL LOW CURRENTLY SITUATED OVER THE GREAT BASIN WILL MOVE ALONG THE NM/CO BORDER SATURDAY...AND LIFT INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS BY SUNDAY. STRONG WINDS PLUS A SIGNIFICANT DRY SLOT OVER THE EASTERN PLAINS WILL RESULT IN A FEW HOURS OF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER SATURDAY AFTERNOON...BUT BELOW NORMAL TEMPS AND MARGINAL INSTABILITY LIMIT THE OVERALL THREAT. ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL ONLY OFFER SPOTTY WETTING PRECIP CHANCES ACROSS THE NORTHWEST SATURDAY AFTERNOON. A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT WILL COMBINE WITH A SECOND PIECE OF UPPER LEVEL ENERGY TO INITIATE ANOTHER ROUND OF SPOTTY WETTING STORMS OVER THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL HIGHER TERRAIN ON SUNDAY. THE PIECE OF ENERGY WILL PRODUCE BREEZY WINDS IN THE TYPICAL AREAS FAVORED WITHIN A NW FLOW REGIME. BELOW NORMAL TO WELL BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THIS WEEKEND PERIOD. WEAK RIDGING MONDAY WILL CAUSE BRIEF DIP IN VENTILATION RATES. SURFACE RETURN FLOW BEHIND THE BACKDOOR FRONT WILL BEGIN INCREASING MOISTURE EAST TO WEST TOWARDS THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE. THIS WILL PRIME THE AREA FOR MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE MID WEEK PERIOD...WHICH MODELS DEPICT AS MULTIPLE DISTURBANCES CROSS NM WITHIN DEVELOPING SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. CONFIDENCE WEAKENS ON HOW LONG THE SURFACE MOISTURE WILL STICK AROUND BEFORE THE SW FLOW PUSHES IT EAST OF THE STATE...WITH THE GFS AND ECMWF SHOWING DIFFERENT TIMING. THE GFS SHOWERS THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINING IN TACT FOR MOST OF THE WEEK...THOUGH EVENTUALLY SHUNTED TO THE EASTERN PLAINS. THE ECMWF BRINGS THE DRY AIR QUICKER...PUSHING THE MOISTURE OUT BY THURSDAY. EITHER WAY...NO MAJOR FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS ARE EXPECTED. VENT RATES WILL IMPROVE DURING THIS PERIOD DUE TO STRONGER FLOW ALOFT...TEMPERATURES REMAIN NEAR TO BELOW NORMAL. && .ABQ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. &&
