SYNOPSIS
Issued at 212 PM MDT Sun Jun 2 2024
Hotter temperatures and dry west and northwest flow is expected early this week. Moderate heat risk is possible across the Rio Grande Valley and eastern plains with Roswell possibly seeing high heat risk. A backdoor front cools temperatures a little across eastern areas Wednesday. The heat peaks on Thursday as high pressure intensifies over the state. Albuquerque and Farmington could see their first 100 degree day of the year and Roswell could see temperatures in the upper 100s. Some showers and storms possible in the higher terrain Friday into next weekend.
SHORT TERM
(This evening through Monday night)
Issued at 212 PM MDT Sun Jun 2 2024
The bowling ball of a dry air intrusion has shifted from AZ into NM this afternoon, bringing relative humidity down into the single digits, save for locales along the eastern border. This will work to effectively squash any convective dreams this evening into tonight outside of a rogue storm briefly flirting with NM along the CO or TX border. Flow aloft will turn more zonal overnight, with breezy west to southwest winds relaxing after sunset. Clear skies with temperatures near to a few degrees cooler than last night's readings will dominate. Moderated conditions expected tomorrow as a regime of northwest flow aloft sets up. Temperatures will be within a degree or two of Sunday's readings with light winds and mostly sunny skies.
The parched atmosphere will prevail once again, though not nearly to the extent of Sunday. Still, widespread single digit relative humidity will require the attention of those working outdoors to maintain appropriate hydration as the dry conditions combine with above normal temperatures. Minimum temps trend warmer Monday night, settling around an increase of 2F to 5F compared to Sunday night, with increasing high clouds.
LONG TERM
(Tuesday through Saturday)
Issued at 212 PM MDT Sun Jun 2 2024
Dry northwest flow will be over the state Tuesday along with building upper level heights. This will allow temperatures to increase a couple of degrees areawide with the hottest temperatures across eastern NM due to downslope and compressional west to northwest winds. Low to mid 90s are expected across the upper and middle RGV, upper 90s to near 100 across the lower RGV and northeast and east central plains and around 105 in Roswell. This will result in moderate heat risk across the middle and lower RGV and most of the eastern plains and highlands with high heat possible across the Chaves County plains including Roswell. A heat advisory might be needed for Roswell Tuesday afternoon. A backdoor front moves into eastern NM Tuesday evening through Wednesday morning increasing surface moisture briefly. However, deep daytime mixing thanks to high pressure strengthening over the state mixes it out a bit. The backdoor front and the slightly higher moisture will help to cool highs around 3 to 5 degrees compared to Tuesday across the eastern plains (still mid 90s to near 100 for Roswell). Meanwhile across western and central NM, highs increase a few degrees compared to Tuesday due to the strengthening upper level high. Low to mid 90s will be common with near 100 along the RGV in Albuquerque and in the lower RGV including Socorro. The heat looks to peak Thursday as the upper level high strengthens to 593 dm. Mid 90s to near 100 will be common. ABQ and Farmington could see their first 100 degree day of the year. Roswell could get to the upper 100s. Heat Advisories might be needed for ABQ and Roswell due to the increasing probability of high heat risk in those two locales. Some mid level moisture does get under the ridge and this could result in a late day dry shower or storm across the higher terrain.
The upper high weakens and shifts east a little heading into Friday and next weekend due to an upper low moving northeast over Baja CA from the Pacific. Temperatures will cool down gradually as a result.
The upper low could bring up some subtropical moisture to result in some showers and storms mostly over the higher terrain. However, the question will be moisture availability. The deterministic GFS has slightly better coverage in the higher terrain due to dewpoints in the 40s. However, the ECMWF and the ensemble solutions have lower storm coverage due to dewpoints in the 20s and 30s across western and central NM and near 40 in eastern NM.
AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 406 PM MDT Sun Jun 2 2024
VFR conditions prevail and are forecast to persist through the TAF period, with one potential exception. Outflow from storms over the TX Panhandle this evening is modeled to move west into the far eastern plains of NM and may result in low stratus/fog overnight into early Monday morning. KTCC would be the TAF site potentially impacted, but forecast confidence is too low to include anything other than VFR. Otherwise, gusty westerly winds will gradually subside this evening and are forecast to decrease Monday afternoon/evening relative to today's.
FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 212 PM MDT Sun Jun 2 2024
Hot and dry conditions will prevail through the first half of the week areawide. Widespread single digit relative humidity will return Monday afternoon alongside lighter winds. Humidity improves slightly on Tuesday, bringing most zones into the low double digits amongst locally breezy winds. A ridge of high pressure builds overhead on Wednesday, bringing additional warming. Well above normal temperatures will be possible Thursday, with several locales aiming to hit Heat Advisory criteria. Minimum RH will improve Wednesday and Thursday across the central mountains and eastward, with the west still struggling to reach above 15 percent. The aforementioned moisture out east may lead to the development of showers and thunderstorms (and subsequent lightning starts) across the central mountains, with increasing coverage potentially through the weekend.
