ALBUQUERQUE AVIATION DISCUSSION

AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 525 AM MDT TUE MAY 19 2026
A COLD FRONT HAS ADVANCED THRU EASTERN NM BRINGING GUSTY
NORTHEASTERLY WINDS 15 TO 25 MPH THIS HOUR. IT WILL PUSH THRU THE
GAPS OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN TO KSAF AND KABQ BY 13Z TO 14Z
BRINGING GUSTY WINDS OF 20-30KTS. PATCHY IFR/MVFR CEILINGS HAVE
ALSO DEVELOPED ALONG THE EAST SLOPES OF THE SANGRE DE CRISTO MTS
AND CENTRAL HIGHLANDS. THESE CEILINGS WILL CLEAR THIS MORNING AS
SOUTHERLY TO SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS PICK UP THRU WESTERN AND CENTRAL
NM. NORTHEASTERLY WINDS THROUGH EASTERN NM WILL QUICKLY VEER
EASTERLY BY LATE MORNING AND SOUTHEASTERLY THIS AFTERNOON. MOST
AREAS WILL SEE GUSTS REACHING 20-35KTS THIS AFTERNOON, WITH A FEW
SPOTS THROUGH NORTHWESTERN NM FAVORING THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE AND
THE JEMEZ MTS NEAR KLAM SEEING ERRATIC STRONG GUSTS FROM VIRGA
SHOWERS. VIRGA INDUCED ERRATIC GUSTY WINDS COULD REACH KSAF BUT
CONFIDENCE WAS TOO LOW TO INCLUDE MENTION OF THIS AT THIS TIME. AS
WINDS OVERALL TAPER OFF MOST AREAS LATE THIS EVENING, THE COLD
FRONT ACROSS EASTERN NM WILL HAVE BEEN PUSHED BACK TOWARD TX,
ADVANCING WESTWARD AGAIN AND THROUGH THE GAPS OF THE CENTRAL
MOUNTAIN CHAIN LATE THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT. THIS WILL PRODUCE
ANOTHER EAST CANYON WIND AT KSAF, AND POTENTIALLY AGAIN AT KABQ.
HOW IT MOVES AROUND THE SANDIA MTS WILL DETERMINE THAT HOWEVER.
