AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DENVER COLORADO
241 PM MDT THU APR 6 2006

.SHORT TERM DISCUSSION...CURRENT RADAR IS INDICATING THE SNOW SLOW
TO GET GOING IN THE HIGH COUNTY THIS AFTERNOON.  THERE ARE A COUPLE
LIGHTNING STRIKES RIGHT NOW OVER THE HIGH MOUNTAINS AND WELD
COUNTY.  THE WATER VAPOR PICTURES ARE SHOWING A COUPLE CIRCULATIONS
IN THE FLOW ALOFT...ONE OVER SOUTHWESTERN WYOMING...THE OTHER OVER
SOUTHWESTERN KANSAS.  THE 12Z VERSIONS OF THE MODELS HAVE THE STORM
STILL COMING...BUT IT LOOKS TO LINGER LATER ON FRIDAY...INTO THE
AFTERNOON FOR SURE NOW.  THE QG VERTICAL VELOCITY FIELDS HAVE UPWARD
MOTION THROUGH ABOUT 12Z FRIDAY MORNING...AT LEAST FOR THE NORTHEAST
CORNER...AFTER THAT ITS PRETTY STRONG DOWNWARD MOTION PROGGED.
THERE IS PLENTY OF MOISTURE OVERNIGHT THROUGH ABOUT NOON FRIDAY FOR
THE MOUNTAINS.  THE PLAINS DONT GET DECENT MOISTURE UNTIL AFTER
MIDNIGHT BUT IT CONTINUES WELL INTO FRIDAY AFTERNOON.  THE LOW LEVEL
PRESSURE AND WINDS FIELDS SHOW A SIGNIFICANT PRESSURE GRADIENT
OVERNIGHT INTO FRIDAY.  HIGH WIND CRITERIA LOOKS GOOD OVER MOST OF
THE PLAINS...WILL WARNING ACCORDINGLY.  THICKNESS AND TEMPERATURES
GRIDS...ALONG WITH WET BULB ZERO OFF THE SOUNDINGS SHOW IT COLD
ENOUGH TO SNOW FOR ALL THE PLAINS...AT LEAST AFTER 09Z FRIDAY
MORNING.  THE BETTER PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS SHOULD BE OVER THE
NORTHERN TWO-THIRDS OF THE PLAINS...SO WILL GO WITH A BLIZZARD
WARNING THERE.  THERE MAY NOT BE A LOT OF SNOW BUT THERE WILL BE
ENOUGH WITH THE WINDS EXPECTED TO WARRANT THE WARNING.  FOR
TEMPERATURES...WILL LEAN TOWARDS THE COOLER ETA.

.LONG TERM DISCUSSION...WINDS WILL BE COMING DOWN FRIDAY EVENING...
THOUGH WE MAY NEED TO WATCH THE NE CORNER TO SEE IF THINGS UNWIND
MORE SLOWLY THAN EXPECTED. WENT CLOSER TO THE COLDER ETA GUIDANCE
FRI NIGHT...THOUGH THERE COULD BE TOO MUCH MOISTURE TO GET MUCH
BELOW FREEZING. LEFT TEMPERATURES ALONG FOR THE WEEKEND AS THERE IS
PLENTY OF WARMING ALOFT. IF THE SNOW IS ENOUGH TO STICK AROUND FOR A
WHILE THE TEMPERATURES WILL NEED TO BE LOWERED...THIS IS MOST LIKELY
IN THE NORTHEAST CORNER BUT EVEN IF THERE IS DECENT SNOW IT SHOULD
MAKE THE 50S SATURDAY AND GET RID OF THE SNOW BY SUNDAY.

NEXT SYSTEM IS A WEAK TROUGH ABOUT TUESDAY. THERE COULD BE SOME
MOISTURE IN PLACE AT LOW LEVELS...EVEN WITH A WEAK SYSTEM WE COULD
HAVE SOME SHOWERS. A STRONGER SYSTEM FOR THURSDAY OR LATER BUT
MOISTURE COULD BE FLUSHED EASTWARD. WILL ADD LOW POPS EVERYWHERE
TUE/THU AND IN THE MOUNTAINS WED AS WELL AS LINGERING MOISTURE AND
INSTABILITY WILL BE AROUND. WENT WITH SHOWERS FOR NOW BUT MAY BE
THUNDERSTORMS INSTEAD.
