Latest NM Winter Storm Warnings & Advisories.

Yesterday I mentioned that there would be some surprises with our latest Winter Storm. There were. For one it remained too warm for snow or sleet in most of southeastern New Mexico, although there were a few spots that did see some brief snowfall. Snowfall in the Sacramento Mtn's was also disappointing with snow levels generally remains at or above 8,000'. Ski Apache with a base of 9,500' west of Ruidoso so far has only picked up 4" of the white stuff. Computer model forecasts were hinting at 1' -2'. As of 6:42 AM MST this morning the heaviest 24-hour snowfall total being reported occurred 6 miles west of Los Alamos with 15.0". 

Widespread light to moderate rainfall did occur over the state. But for the most part the models busted with their forecasts of 1" - 2" storm totals. Arizona got the heaviest of the rains. Additional rainfall totals can be viewed via this link: CoCoRaHS.

Our potent mid-upper level closed low was located over the central Baja Penisula at sunrise this morning. Additional disturbances swing northeastward out of this storm will produce more rain and snow showers over the state today, mainly this morning into early this afternoon. The storm is forecast to slowly sink southward to the southern tip of the Baja Penisula today into Tuesday. Meanwhile a short wave trough of low pressure at the 500 millibar level will swing southeastward across northern New Mexico today into tonight effectively "kicking" our closed low southward. The end result will be that precipitation will end across the state by tonight. A slow warming and drying trend will commence Sunday into next week.

Monster Of A Snowstorm Coming This Christmas Weekend?

-
Image
New Mexico This Coming Christmas Weekend? Those of us who live in New Mexico have developed a unique sense of humor when it comes to our weather. I've often said that we live in a place where extremes more often than not are normal. Take for example the rest of this weeks forecast for Carlsbad depicted below. Latest NWS Forecast For Carlsbad, New Mexico. My high temperature here at our home yesterday was 74°F. Contrast that to what's coming this weekend...depicted below. Its not unusual at all to have high temps in the 70's or even the 80's ahead of a strong winter storm locally. We saw this with the major snowstorms in December 1987, December 1997, and February 2011, and with other strong winter storms too. Long Range Model Forecasts On Weekend Storm. This Mornings 12Z/5 AM MST European (ECMWF) 500 MB Forecast. Valid @ 5 AM MST Sunday, Dec 27, 2015. This Mornings 12Z/5 AM MST U.S. GFS 500 MB Forecast. Valid @ 11AM MST Sunday, Dec ...

25th Anniversary Of The Carlsbad, NM (May 31, 1991) Tornado Coming Up.

-
Image
Blog Updated @ 3:11 PM MDT. Click On The Photos & Newspaper Articles To Enlarge Them. On May 31, 1991 at 8:39 PM MDT a then rated (F-2 Tornado touched down 2.1 miles southeast of the Carlsbad Airport (as the crow flies) just southwest of the end of Wagonwheel Rd. A day and time that many local residents will never forget. Newspaper articles at the time reported conflicting reports (understandably so) concerning the damage, injuries, and the time of the tornado. To many residents this was a shock...not something that we are used to seeing or dealing with.  The tornado touched down right at dusk. Cass Hernandez who was the Carlsbad Airport Security Guard at the time observed the tornado 2 miles southeast of the Airport as power flashes occurred from the tornado destroying power lines and transformers. It was eerie looking contrasted with the darkness and power flashes but there was no mistaking what was happening. The Tornado's path is circled in red...

Winter Storm Watches & Warnings Are In Effect - Click On This Link For Additional Details. U.S. GFS Storm Total Snowfall Forecast. Valid At 6 PM MDT Wednesday. Today's (Sunday) noon mdt run of the GFS forecast model is just plain nuts. Its trend has been to produce heavier snowfall totals and aerial coverages with each new run over the past day. This has me worried. 19" for Roswell, 12" for Artesia, 15" for Clovis, 28" for the Fort Sumner area, and 17" for Corona! This would be wild in the dead of winter but is absolutely unheard of in the part of the world in October! The last time we saw something like this come to pass was the Blizzard of December 27, 28, 29th, 2015. Will history repeats itself? I hope not but I will admit that I am worried. My feeling is that we will see snowfall accumulations of around 6" to 12" in SE NM and 6" to 18" in the mountains.  GFS Freezing Rain Accumulation Forecast. Valid Tonight Through PM MDT Wednes...

Seasonal Snowfall Totals. (Oct 1st, 2019 - January 19th, 2020). January 11th, 2020. South Of Cloudcroft, New Mexico. Top 25 Highest Seasonal Snowfall Totals. (Cloudcroft, New Mexico 8,750'). Seasonal Totals Are From July 1st - July 1st. Top 25 Highest Seasonal Snowfall Totals. (Ruidoso, New Mexico 6,950'). Seasonal Totals Are From July 1st - July 1st. As a kid growing up in Artesia, New Mexico I always was fascinated by the snowfall in the Sacramento mountains. Especially in the Cloudcroft and Ruidoso areas. Many times Cloudcroft would see their first snowfall by Halloween. It was not unusual to see snow on the ground from around Thanksgiving through Easter in many of these years.  Sierra Blanca Peak (White Mountain or Old Baldy) west of Ruidoso more often than not was coated with snow from before Thanksgiving to after Easter as well.  If you have been thinking that it does not snow as much in the Sacramento mountains as i...
