ARE EXPECTED TO BE WIDESPREAD ALTHOUGH SOME UNCERTAINTY REGARDING
THE EXACT SPATIAL EXTENT AND TIMING REMAINS. AFTER AROUND 13Z,
NEARLY ALL PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO BE PASSED OTHER THAN SOME
POTENTIALLY LINGERING AROUND LBL. AFTER THIS POINT WINDS WILL BE
LIGHT AND VARIABLE (~5 KTS) AND MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES WITH VFR
CONDITIONS.

MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS TO START AS STORMS ARE APPROACHING THE TAF
SITES. AFTER 12Z THE CHANCES OF STORMS SHOULD DIMINISH, AND WE'LL
STILL HAVE LOW CIGS DUE TO TO CLOUD COVER, BUT WE SHOULD START TO
IMPROVE THE CIGS AROUND THE 12-18Z TIME PERIOD AS WE START TO GO
MORE SCATTERED IN CLOUD COVER. WITH THE FRONT THROUGH FOR THE MOST
PART, WE'RE LOOKING AT VARIABLE WINDS AROUND 5 TO 10KTS.

EARLY MORNING SHOWER ACTIVITY, MOSTLY IN NORTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO,
CONTINUES TO DWINDLE WITH MUCH OF IT EXPECTED TO HAVE FULLY
DISSIPATED BY DAWN. A WEAK SURFACE FRONT IS MOVING INTO
NORTHEASTERN AND EAST CENTRAL NEW MEXICO WHICH WILL LEAD TO THE
DEVELOPMENT OF LOW CLOUDS AND PATCHY FOG THROUGH THE POST-DAWN
HOURS. SCATTERED MVFR (30-50% CHANCE OF CEILINGS LESS THAN
3000FT) AND ISOLATED IFR (10-20% CHANCE OF CEILINGS LESS THAN 1000
FT) CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP THROUGH 1800UTC (NOON). NEW
THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP OVER THE SACRAMENTO MOUNTAINS (NEAR
KSRR) AND EVENTUALLY TOWARD THE CENTRAL HIGHLANDS (NEAR KCQC AND
PERHAPS KSXU), AS WELL AS THE SOUTHWESTERN MOUNTAINS THIS
AFTERNOON. STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF BRIEF HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND
GUSTY DOWNBURST WINDS WITH SOME CELLS TURNING STRONG TO SEVERE,
ESPECIALLY JUST EAST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN OF NEW MEXICO.
MOST STORMS WILL DIE OFF THROUGH THE EVENING WITH ONLY A FEW
STRAY SHOWERS PERSISTING LATE TONIGHT.
