SUMMARY...THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT CENTERED OVER THE
SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO...ARIZONA...MEXICO BORDER WILL DRIFT NORTH
AND A BIT WEST TO EASTERN ARIZONA THIS WEEKEND. MEANWHILE LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE HAS SPREAD WEST FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS THROUGH
EASTERN NEW MEXICO TO THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE...WHICH WILL ALLOW
FOR DIURNAL THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE EASTERN TWO
THIRDS OF THE STATE THROUGH THIS WEEKEND.
SNOW MELT RUNOFF FROM THE SAN JUAN MOUNTAINS OF SOUTHWEST
COLORADO IS WINDING DOWN...BUT WATER LEVELS WILL REMAIN HIGHER
THAN NORMAL IN THE ANIMAS RIVER OF NORTHWEST NEW MEXICO INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK. WATER RELEASES FROM NAVAJO DAM IN NORTHWEST
NEW MEXICO WILL GRADAULLY DECREASE NEXT WEEK...RESULTING IN
REDUCED FLOW VOLUME IN THE SAN JUAN RIVER.
THE THREAT OF RIVER FLOODING IN NORTHERN NEW MEXICO DUE TO SNOW
MELT RUNOFF IS NOW VERY LOW.
THIS WILL BE THE FINAL REGULARLY SCHEDULED RIVER SUMMARY FOR
THE SPRING SNOW MELT RUNOFF SEASON.
