AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
1017 AM MDT MON AUG 14 2000

FEW CHANGES TO PREVIOUS FORECAST. DROPPED A FEW 1ST PERIOD POPS
ACROSS MAINLY THE N BUT LEFT MOST UNCHANGED. CERTAINLY IN THE 15K TO
25K LAYER THE E-W UPPER RIDGE /LINE/ HAS SHIFTED TO JUST S OF CO
LINE. SOME DRYING HAS OCCURRED JUST ABOVE THAT LAYER ACROSS S HALF
NM AS EVIDENCED BY WATER VAPOR LOOP. KABQ PRECIPITABLE H2O DOWN A BIT
FROM 12 SUN AND SFC DEWPOINTS GENERALLY DOWN FROM 24 HRS PREVIOUS
ACROSS MOST OF NM. BOTTOM LINE FEEL IT WILL BE A LITTLE LESS ACTIVE
THAN SUN...EXCEPT POSSIBLY FAR N CENTRAL AND NW. OR AT LEAST THERE
WILL BE MORE EVAPORATION OF RAIN AS IT FALLS FROM HIGHER BASED
STORMS. THE PECULIAR TOO-DRY SUMMER CONTINUES. OUR /FRIEND/ IN THE SW
GULF NEEDS TO BE WATCHED...BUT I HAVE YET TO BE CONVINCED THAT IT
WILL TRACK FAR ENOUGH N...OR FAST ENOUGH...TO AFFECT NM MUCH BEFORE
LATE THU OR FRI. WILL PERUSE THINGS MORE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. 43 

.ABQ...NONE.
