WEATHER SUMMARY FOR NEW MEXICO
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
530 AM MDT WED MAY 22 2013
A BROAD RIDGE EXTENDING FROM NORTHERN SONORA ACROSS WESTERN NEW
MEXICO TO THE CANADIAN PRAIRIES WILL HELP TEMPERATURES RISE WELL
ABOVE LATE MAY NORMALS TODAY ACROSS THE STATE. WEDNESDAY SUNRISE
TEMPERATURES WILL GET THE MIDWEEK OFF TO A WARM START...WITH 40S AND
50S COMMON ACROSS THE NORTH...AND 50S AND 60S ACROSS THE SOUTH.
THESE MILD OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES FOLLOWED TUESDAY HIGHS RANGING
FROM 65 AT BOTH CLOUDCROFT AND CHAMA...AND 68 AT CAPULIN...TO 87 AT
DEMING...OROGRANDE...AND CARLSBAD.
PLENTY OF SUNSHINE WILL BLAST THROUGH A FEW HIGH CLOUDS STREAMING
FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS NEW MEXICO TODAY...AS THE WELCOME WARMTH
PUSHES TEMPERATURES UP TO TEN DEGREES ABOVE LATE MAY NORMALS. A FEW
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL DOT THE NORTHEAST HIGHLANDS THROUGH THIS
EVENING AS THE ONLY BREAK IN WHAT WILL OTHERWISE BE A SUNNY AND WARM
DAY.
THE WEATHER PICTURE TAKES A DECIDED TILT FROM THE CALM TO THE TENSE
ON THURSDAY...AS GUSTY WINDS AND LOW HUMIDITIES WILL PRODUCE
DANGEROUS FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS OVER THE WESTERN AND NORTHWESTERN
SECTIONS OF THE STATE NEAR THE ARIZONA BORDER...AND OVER THE
NORTHEAST HIGHLANDS THURSDAY AFTERNOON. WITH MOIST AIR PUSHING
WESTWARD OUT OF TEXAS INTO THE NEW MEXICO EASTERN PLAINS...AND MUCH
DRYER AIR REMAINING IN PLACE OVER THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN SECTIONS
OF THE STATE...STRONG THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE OVER THE SOUTHEAST
SECTION OF THE STATE MAINLY SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 40 THURSDAY
AFTERNOON. SOME OF THESE STORMS WILL PRODUCE HAIL AND STRONG WINDS
AS THEY MOVE THROUGH.
LITTLE CHANGE TO THE BASIC WEATHER STORY WILL ROUND OUT THE WORK
WEEK...WITH DANGEROUS FIRE WEATHER REDEVELOPING OVER THE ARIZONA
BORDER COUNTRY IN THE WEST...AND ROUNDS OF STRONG THUNDERSTORMS
EXPANDING IN COVERAGE OVER ALL OF THE EASTERN TIER ON FRIDAY
AFTERNOON.
A LARGE WEATHER SYSTEM OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST WILL EXPAND OVER
MUCH OF THE WESTERN U.S. IN TIME FOR THE MEMORIAL DAY HOLIDAY
WEEKEND. STRENGTHENING SOUTHWEST FLOW IN THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE OVER
THE WEEKEND WILL HELP SHIFT THE AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORM FOCUS
EASTWARD INTO TEXAS THROUGH THE MEMORIAL DAY HOLIDAY...AS CENTRAL
AND WESTERN SECTIONS REMAIN DRY UNDER SUNNY SKIES. FIRE DANGER WILL
CONTINUE SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AFTERNOONS NEAR THE ARIZONA BORDER.

NORTHWEST OF TUCUMCARI. THEN AROUND 4 AM A BROKEN LINE OF

AND EARLY EVENING.
A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER NEW MEXICO TONIGHT AND

WEATHER SUMMARY FOR NEW MEXICO
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
535 AM MDT MON MAY 20 2013
QUITE A BIT OF MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDINESS SKIDDED ACROSS NORTH
AND CENTRAL NEW MEXICO OVERNIGHT...CARRYING WITH IT A FEW MOSTLY
LIGHT SHOWERS AND EVEN A VERY FEW SHORT LIVED THUNDERSTORMS.
MEANWHILE SOUTHERNMOST SECTIONS OF THE STATE SAW CLEAR SKIES ALL
NIGHT LONG. WITH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE LACKING RAINFALL WAS VERY SCANT
WITH THE SHOWER ACTIVITY. IN FACT THE ONLY RELIABLE REPORT OF
MEASURABLE RAIN AVAILABLE SO FAR WAS JUST TWO HUNDREDTHS OF AN INCH
FROM AN OBSERVER JUST NORTH OF SEDILLO...TO THE EAST OF ALBUQUERQUE.
PREDAWN TEMPERATURES THIS MORNING HAD SETTLED IN THE 30S TO 40S
ACROSS MOST OF THE NORTHWEST HALF OF THE STATE AND THE MOUNTAINS
ELSEWHERE IN THE STATE. REMAINING AREAS HAD REACHED THE 50S TO MID
60S. FINAL HIGH TEMPERATURES SUNDAY RANGED FROM 56 DEGREES AT ANGEL
FIRE TO A VERY WARM 93 DEGREES AT CARLSBAD.
ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE TROUGH WILL SWING THROUGH THE STATE
TODAY...BRINGING ANOTHER ROUND OF ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED HIGH
BASED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THAT PRODUCE MINIMAL RAINFALL BUT A
LOT OF GUSTY WINDS. BEHIND A WEAK BACK DOOR FRONT IN THE NORTHEAST
THERE MAY BE JUST ENOUGH OF AN INCREASE IN LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TO
CREATE SOMEWHAT WETTER SHOWERS AND STORMS DURING THE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING THERE. THESE WILL DIMINISH LATER THIS EVENING. THE WEAK
FRONT WILL RESUME SOME SOUTH AND WESTWARD PROGRESS OVERNIGHT BEFORE
THEN FADING AWAY TUESDAY. SOME SCANT RESIDUAL MOISTURE MAY ALLOW FOR
A SMALLER CROP OF ISOLATED SHOWERS OR STORMS TO DEVELOP TUESDAY
AFTERNOON...MAINLY FROM THE SANGRE DE CRISTO MOUNTAINS EASTWARD TO
THE NORTHEAST HIGHLANDS. ELSEWHERE...DRIER AIR WILL WORK IN FROM THE
WEST....PUTTING AN END TO WHAT MEAGER SHOWER CHANCES WERE IN PLACE
EARLIER.
A DRY SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT IS EXPECTED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WORK
WEEK. THE ONE EXCEPTION MAY BE OVER THE EASTERN PLAINS WHERE THE DRY
LINE MAY WORK WESTWARD FAR ENOUGH FOR AT LEAST ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM
FORMATION BY THURSDAY OR FRIDAY AND INTO THE WEEKEND THERE.
