Area forecast discussion 
National Weather Service Albuquerque nm 
304 PM MDT Sat Mar 20 2010 


Discussion... 
with clearing skies in the wake of last nights storm the forecast 
area can expect low temperatures from 8 to 20 degrees below 
normal tonight. A ridge of high pressure will move overhead Sunday 
keeping the weather dry and allowing a warming trend to commence...but 
high temperatures will remain a few to several degrees below 
normal. The warming trend will peak on Monday as a Lee trough 
develops at the surface and west/SW flow aloft strengthens. Mondays 
highs should reach between a few and 12 degrees above 
normal...while SW winds become breezy east of the Central Mountain 
chain. 


Tuesday...models depict precipitation chances increasing from the 
west as a southern stream trough becomes absorbed by a deepening 
upper level low as it digs toward nm out of the northwest. The combined 
energy of the merging systems could result in another potent 
winter storm for parts of our forecast area...although model 
thickness values are a bit warmer than the system that just 
passed. GFS and European model (ecmwf) currently bring the upper low center 
eastward across nm in the vicinity of I-40 Wednesday with 
lingering showers continuing Wednesday night through Thursday.

&& 


Aviation... 
other than a few Montana obscurations on the upper slopes of the central 
Montana chain before sunset today...there should be no significant 
aviation hazards at least through the day Sunday. 


Next aviation discussion scheduled for 09z. 43 


&& 


Fire weather... 
other than just a few snow showers lingering along and near the 
central Montana chain until sunset or shortly before...dry weather will 
be settling in through at least Monday night. Ventilation trends 
will worsen Sunday compared to today...varying from poor to fair 
most areas of west and central nm to generally fair to good across 
the eastern plains...as upper level ridge of high pressure builds in 
the storms wake. Locally gusty northwest to north winds are possible 
along and east of the Central Mountain chain this evening before the 
ridge takes hold. Warming trend expected Sunday and more so 
Monday...with temperatures rebounding to the 70s in the east Monday. 
With the ridge starting to flatten...ventilation rates should 
improve Monday. 


Another storm system on track to impact New Mexico starting Tuesday 
across north and west central sections and will linger through Wednesday. 
Track of this system is still varying somewhat from one computer 
model run to the next...so details of where most significant winds 
and precipitation will be are still a little uncertain. There will 
also be another strong cold front associated with this 
system...which will lower temperatures on Wednesday well below 
normal again...especially across the north and east.
