DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 415 AM MST MON DEC 16 2024
WE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE A DRY WEATHER PATTERN THIS WEEK INTO THE
THIS WEEKEND. FOR TODAY , A WEAK UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL STROLL
ACROSS NEW MEXICO. THIS SYSTEM WILL DO VERY LITTLE TO OUR WEATHER.
WE WILL SEE A DEGREE OR TWO OF COOLING AND OUR WINDS WILL SWING
AROUND TO THE NORTH, BUT WE WON'T SEE MUCH IN THE WAY OF ANY OTHER
WEATHER ASSOCIATED WITH THE TROUGH. FOR TUESDAY OUR ZONAL (WEST
TO EAST) FLOW WILL RETURN, TO WARM US A FEW DEGREES AND KEEP US
DRY. THEN ON WEDNESDAY, AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVING THROUGH
COLORADO WILL HELP PUSH A BACK DOOR COLD FRONT ACROSS THE REGION.
THIS FRONT WILL GIVE US BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS, ESPECIALLY
ALONG THE WEST SLOPES OF AREA MOUNTAINS. THE COLD FRONT WILL (OF
COURSE) USHER IN SOME COOLER AIR. WE WILL SEE HIGH TEMPERATURES ON
WEDNESDAY 7 TO 12 DEGREES COOLER THAN THE HIGHS ON TUESDAY, WHICH
WILL PUT THE AFTERNOON HIGH TEMPS NEAR SEASONAL AVERAGES. THE
COOLER WEATHER WON'T LAST, BY THURSDAY AND FRIDAY A WEAK UPPER
LEVEL RIDGE WILL TRY TO NOSE INTO THE REGION AND THAT WILL JUMP
OUR HIGH TEMPERATURES BACK 5 TO 10 DEGREES ABOVE AVERAGE. FOR NEXT
WEEKEND, OUR DRY ZONAL FLOW WILL CONTINUE, AS WILL OUR ABOVE
AVERAGE HIGH TEMPERATURES.
AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 518 AM MST MON DEC 16 2024
WE WILL HAVE VFR CONDITIONS FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS. WE HAD SOME
HIGH CLOUDS IN THE AREA ON SUNDAY, BUT THOSE HIGH CLOUDS HAVE
PUSHED OF TO OUR EAST AND WE WILL HAVE UNLIMITED CEILINGS TODAY
AND TONIGHT. OUR WINDS HAVE COME AROUND TO THE NORTH AND NORTHEAST
AND THEY WILL CONTINUE FROM THAT DIRECTION TODAY, BEFORE GOING
LIGHT AND VARIABLE THIS EVENING.
FIRE WEATHER
ISSUED AT 415 AM MST MON DEC 16 2024
WE WILL HAVE QUIET FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS FOR MOST OF THIS WEEK.
WE WILL HAVE LITTLE TO KNOW PRECIPITATION CHANCES THROUGH THIS
COMING WEEKEND. MIN RH'S WILL BE IN THE TEENS TODAY AND TUESDAY.
THEN MIN RH'S WILL RISE TO 20% OR HIGHER FOR WEDNESDAY THROUGH THE
END OF THE WEEK. WINDS WILL BE GENERALLY LIGHT THIS WEEK, WITH THE
ONE EXCEPTION BEING BREEZY WINDS, ESPECIALLY ON THE WEST SLOPES OF
AREA MOUNTAINS, ON WEDNESDAY AS A COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE
REGION.
