AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
501 AM MST TUE DEC 6 2005

.SHORT TERM...
(TODAY AND TONIGHT)

...SNOW AND BITTER COLD TO ARRIVE THIS EVENING...

ARCTIC COLD FRONT CURRENTLY CRUISING THROUGH S WYOMING...WHERE LIGHT
SNOWFALL IS FALLING ALONG WITH THE TEMPS. AT CURRENT RATE...SHOULD
REACH N EL PASO COUNTY BY ABOUT 22Z. THIS WILL USHER IN A PERIOD OF
MODERATE SNOWFALL THROUGH WED MORN ALONG WITH EXTREMELY COLD
WEATHER.

TOUGH CALL ON SNOW AMOUNTS FOR THE REGION. LATEST ETA12 HAS SHIFTED
THE UPPER LOW TO THE EAST...WIPING OUT A GOOD 6 HOURS WORTH OF
UPSLOPE FLOW AND CONSEQUENTLY CUTTING QPF IN HALF. GFS HAS HELD ON
TO WARNING LEVEL AMOUNTS. TREND HAS DEFINITELY BEEN TO SUBTLY SHIFT THE
LOW TO THE EAST...SO PROLONGED ISENTROPIC LIFT IS IN DOUBT.
COLD TEMPS PLUS LACK OF STRONG SURFACE WINDS SHOULD MINIMIZE
HAZARDS SUCH AS ICY ROADS AND BLOWING SNOW. DECIDED TO GO WITH AN
ADVISORY FOR MOST OF THE WATCH AREA...PLUS THE NORTH CENTRAL
MOUNTAINS. THIS AREA SHOULD SEE SOLID ADVISORY LEVEL AMOUNTS...
PARTICULARLY WITH THE HIGH SNOW-LIQUID RATIOS THAT ARE EXPECTED.
PALMER DIVIDE AND E SLOPES OF RAMPART RANGE WILL SEE BETTER
FORCING...SO CONVERTED WATCH TO WARNING FOR THESE ZONES. COULD SEE 6-
8 INCHES FOR THE E SLOPES...POSSIBLY MORE LOCALLY. BUT BULK OF THE
REGION SHOULD FALL IN ADVISORY RANGE...4-6 INCHES.

COLD AIR SHOULD NOT MAKE IT TO MOST OF THE PLAINS UNTIL THIS EVE...
SO TODAY WILL NOT BE QUITE THAT COLD...JUST COLDER THAN MON. -24 H7
AIR WILL BE OVER US TONIGHT...SENDING US SPIRALING DOWN TO THE
SINGLE DIGITS. WELCOME TO WINTER. ROSE

.LONG TERM...
(WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY)

...LIGHT SNOW AND VERY COLD WEDNESDAY...TEMPERATURES BELOW ZERO EARLY
THURSDAY...THEN A WARMING TREND FRIDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND...

LIGHT SNOW WILL CONTINUE INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY...BEFORE TAPERING OFF.
THE GREATEST CONCENTRATION OF SNOWFALL SHOULD BE RIGHT ALONG AND NEAR
THE MOUNTAINS WHERE A LITTLE BIT OF WEAK UPSLOPE FORCING WILL
CONTINUE LIFTING MOISTURE INTO THE VERY COLD AIR ALOFT...SQUEEZING
OUT EVERY BIT OF AVAILABLE MOISTURE.  SHOULD BE EFFICIENT DENDRITE
PRODUCTION...SO LOTS OF BIG FLUFFY FLAKES... A DRY SNOW WITH LOW
WATER CONTENT.  ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATIONS SHOULD GENERALLY BE IN THE
1 TO 3 INCH RANGE.  TEMPERATURES ON WEDNESDAY WILL STRUGGLE TO GET
OUT OF THE SINGLE DIGITS AND TEENS ACROSS THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT WINDS BEHIND THIS SYSTEM LOOK RATHER WEAK ON
WEDNESDAY...SO PROLONGED LOW WINDCHILL TEMPERATURES AND/OR
BLOWING/DRIFTING SNOW SHOULD NOT BE A MAJOR CONCERN THIS DAY.
HOWEVER...THE ACTUAL TEMPERATURE OF THE AIR ALONE WILL BE COLD ENOUGH
TO JUSTIFY KEEPING PEOPLE AND PETS INDOORS WHEN AT ALL POSSIBLE.

THE COLD WILL GET REAL EXTREME WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND EARLY THURSDAY.
WITH FRESH SNOW...AN ARCTIC AIRMASS...CLEARING SKIES...VERY LOW
DEWPOINTS...AND LIGHT WINDS EXPECTED...WE CAN EXPECT MANY READINGS
TO DROP WELL BELOW ZERO.  THIS WILL BE THE KIND OF COLD THAT HASNT
BEEN SEEN AROUND HERE IN A NUMBER OF YEARS.  UNLESS PROTECTED...
SOME PIPES STILL EXPOSED TO THE COLD MAY FREEZE...AND THEN BURST AT
A LATER TIME...WHEN TEMPERATURES CLIMB BACK ABOVE FREEZING...FRIDAY
OR SATURDAY.  SO...NOW WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO CHECK PLUMBING...
OUTDOORS AND INDOORS...TO MAKE SURE IT IS WELL INSULATED.  HIGHS ON
THURSDAY WILL REMAIN BELOW FREEZING.  HAVE MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS
DOWNWARD TO REFLECT THIS.

STARTING FRIDAY...SHOULD SEE A WARMING TREND... WITH TEMPERATURES
RISING TO ABOVE NORMAL LEVELS AGAIN SATURDAY OR SUNDAY.  FORECAST
IS LOOKING PRETTY DRY THIS RUN...BUT WILL NOT REMOVE LOW POPS OVER
THE MOUNTAINS AND PLAINS...WITH A WEAK UPPER SHORTWAVE STILL
INDICATED TO MOVE THROUGH BY THE GFS. LW
