DISCUSSION
HIGH PRESSURE AT BOTH THE SURFACE AND ALOFT WILL
RESULT IN A VERY DRY AIRMASS AND POOR VENTILATION TODAY THROUGH
THANKSGIVING DAY. MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES WILL BE COOLER TODAY...OR
SIMILAR TO MONDAY/S READINGS. TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS MAY MAKE FOR
SOME TOPSY TURVY READINGS WITH SOME HIGHER TERRAIN AREAS
THROUGH THURSDAY WARMER THAN VALLEY LOCALES. A WEAK SURFACE
BOUNDARY MAY COOL TEMPERATURES A FEW DEGREES IN NORTHEAST NEW
MEXICO WEDNESDAY.
ON FRIDAY...SURFACE LEE TROUGH TO DEVELOP AS WINDS ALOFT BECOME
WESTERLY AND START TO STRENGHTEN. WINDIER BUT CONTINUED DRY
CONDITIONS EXPECTED SATURDAY AS AN UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM
STARTS TO DEVELOP OVER THE CENTRAL ROCKIES AND GREAT BASIN. WHILE
FORECAST MODELS DIFFER ON HOW THIS SYSTEM WILL EVOLVE...
CONSIDERABLY COLDER AIR DOES LOOK TO SPREAD OVER NEW MEXICO BY
SUNDAY. THERE IS SOME CONSENSUS IN THE MODELS THIS STORM COULD
BRING SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL TO THE MOUNTAINS OF NORTHERN AND
