HYDROLOGIC OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
1030 AM MDT WED JUN 8 2005

...SNOWMELT RUNOFF TO SLOW THIS WEEKEND WHILE A RETURN TO HOT
   TEMPERATURES IS ANTICIPATED EARLY NEXT WEEK... 
   
SNOWMELT RUNOFF WAS HOLDING STEADY THIS WEEK...MUCH REDUCED FROM
HIGH LEVELS EXPERIENCED DURING THE PREVIOUS 2 WEEKS. TEMPERATURES
THIS WEEKEND SHOULD BE 5 TO 15 DEGREES COOLER THAN NORMAL OVER THE
MOUNTAINS OF SOUTHERN COLORADO AND NORTHERN NEW MEXICO...RESULTING
IN A SHORT PERIOD OF DIMINISHED SNOWMELT RUNOFF AND LOWER FLOWS.
WEEKEND SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE SOUTHERN COLORADO MOUNTAINS
SHOULD NOT BE WIDESPREAD ENOUGH TO OVERCOME THE COOL TEMPERATURES
THAT WILL STABILIZE THE SNOW PACK.

THE WEATHER OUTLOOK FOR NEXT WEEK POINTS TO A RETURN TO NEAR NORMAL
OR WARMER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR MOST OF NEXT WEEK. IF HOT
WEATHER RETURNS...ANOTHER PEAK IN RUNOFF DUE TO SNOWMELT IS LIKELY
LATER IN THE WEEK. HOWEVER...RUNOFF FLOWS WOULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY
LESS THAN THE SEASONAL PEAK ALREADY EXPERIENCED TOWARD THE END OF
LAST MONTH.

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN ALBUQUERQUE WILL MONITOR WEATHER
CONDITIONS AND STREAM FLOWS THROUGH JUNE AND ISSUE THIS WEEKLY
OUTLOOK ON THE POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING DUE TO SNOWMELT RUNOFF.
THIS OUTLOOK FOR NORTHERN NEW MEXICO WILL BE ROUTINELY ISSUED ON 
WEDNESDAYS AROUND 11 AM MDT.

THE NEXT HYDROLOGIC OUTLOOK MESSAGE IS SCHEDULED FOR WEDNESDAY JUNE
15. ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS...WATCHES OR WARNINGS WILL BE ISSUED AS
NEEDED.
