AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
420 AM MDT THU APR 6 2006

.SHORT TERM...
(TODAY AND TONIGHT)

...A NUMBER OF CONCERNS THIS MORNING...INCLUDING SNOW IN THE
MOUNTAINS...FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS EASTERN SLOPES AND PLAINS...AND
BLIZZARD POTENTIAL ACROSS NORTHERN EL PASO COUNTY STARTING LATE
TONIGHT...

WILL ALLOW CURRENT SNOW/BLOWING SNOW ADVISORY TO RUN ITS COURSE FOR
THE EASTERN SAN JUAN MOUNTAINS...EXPIRING AT 6AM.  ACCORDING TO THE
LATEST RUC ANALYSIS...MOUNTAIN TOP WINDS ARE SHIFTING FROM SOUTHWEST
TO NORTHWEST AT THE PRESENT TIME.  ALTHOUGH SATELLITE PICTURES
INDICATE ANOTHER ROUND OF SNOW MOVING INTO THE SAN JUANS AT THIS
TIME...THE SHIFT IN WINDS SHOULD GRADUALLY DIMINISH THE HEAVY SNOW
THREAT IN THIS AREA.  SO FAR...THE WOLF CREEK SNOTEL SHOWS A GAIN OF
ABOUT 1.0 INCHES OF WATER IN THE SNOWPACK SINCE YESTERDAY MORNING.

SNOW/BLOWING SNOW ADVISORY FOR THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS (SAWATCH AND
MOSQUITO RANGES) STILL LOOKS GOOD.  MODEL PROJECTIONS INDICATE UP TO
A FOOT OF SNOW THESE AREAS BY FRIDAY MORNING...WITH THE BULK FALLING
THERE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING.  SO AN ADVISORY THIS AREA
UNTIL MIDNIGHT LOOKS GOOD.

THE FIRE WEATHER THREAT CONTINUES TO LOOK ON TRACK FOR THE EASTERN
SLOPES AND PLAINS TODAY.  RHS MAY END UP ON THE MARGINAL SIDE
(BOTTOMING OUT RIGHT AROUND 15%) BUT THE WINDS LOOK LIKE THEYLL
MAKE IT OKAY.  ALSO...THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE DRY LIGHTNING.
SO...A RED FLAG WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE EASTERN SLOPES AND
PLAINS FROM 10AM TO 9PM TODAY.

THE POTENTIAL FOR A BLIZZARD TO DEVELOP ACROSS NORTHERN EL PASO
COUNTY SOMETIME LATE TONIGHT STILL LOOKS INTERESTING.  BIG
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE NAM AND GFS SCENARIOS...HOWEVER...WITH THE
NAM REALLY NAILING NORTHERN EL PASO COUNTY WITH SNOW STARTING AROUND
12Z AND THE GFS NOT BRINGING IN MUCH MOISTURE AT ALL.  BUT...THE NAM
FOR MULTIPLE RUNS (EXCLUDING THE 18Z RUN FROM YESTERDAY) HAS SHOWN
THIS SCENARIO.  THE GFS HAS CONSISTENTLY NOT SHOWN THIS SCENARIO.
ONE OF THE NATIONAL MODEL DISCUSSIONS THIS MORNING HAS SUGGESTED
THAT THE NAM MAY BE TOO SLOW WITH THE PROGRESSION OF THE LOW...AND
THAT THE MORE PROGRESSIVE GFS IS BETTER.  BUT...THEN AGAIN...MAYBE
THE NAM IS TARGETING THE PALMER DIVIDE BECAUSE IT KNOWS ABOUT THE
TERRAIN BETTER.  ANYWAY...NOT THE HIGHEST CONFIDENCE FORECAST WITH
ALL THE UNCERTAINTY.  BUT...THE THREAT IS REAL ENOUGH TO CONTINUE
WITH THE BLIZZARD WATCH UNTIL LATER RUNS RESOLVE THINGS (HOPEFULLY).

ONE THINGS SEEMS CERTAIN...APPEARS THE WIND WILL START TO BLOW AND
BLOW HARD BY EARLY FRIDAY.  SEE THE LONG TERM DISCUSSION BELOW FOR
MORE ON THAT. LW

.LONG TERM...
(FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)

...POTENTIAL FOR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS FOR THE PALMER DIVIDE AND HIGH
WINDS FOR THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS ON FRIDAY THE PRIMARY CONCERNS THIS
PACKAGE...

STILL SOME MODEL DISCREPANCIES TO DEAL WITH IN THE 36-48 HOUR TIME
RANGE AS STRONG VERTICALLY STACKED UPPER LOW ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL KS
SHIFTS SOUTHWARD AS JET ENERGY WRAPS AROUND NRN/WRN PERIPHERY OF THE
SYSTEM.  HOW FAR WEST THE UPPER LOW TRACKS ACROSS KS IS THE MAIN
CONUNDRUM...WITH NAM12 THE FARTHEST WEST OF THE SHORT RANGE MODELS.
THUS...NAM12 BRINGS A HEALTHY MID LVL THETA-E RIDGE ACROSS EASTERN
CO COUPLED WITH MID LVL QG FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING AND EPVS SLIGHTLY
BELOW ZERO.  THESE FACTORS POINT TO A PERIOD OF MODERATE TO HEAVY
PRECIPITATION BANDING UNDER TROWAL WHICH TRANSITIONS ACROSS EASTERN
COLORADO FRI MORNING.  GFS ON THE OTHER HAND KEEPS THESE PARAMETERS
A BIT FARTHER EAST AND NORTH. HAVE GONE WITH A NAM12/GFS MODEL
BLEND...GIVEN HPC/S ASSESSMENT THAN NAM12 MAY BE SUFFERING FROM
SOME CONVECTIVE FEED BACK. HOWEVER...NAM12 HAS ALSO BEEN CONSISTENT
THE PAST COUPLE RUNS WITH THIS SCENARIO...SO ITS DIFFICULT TO
DISCOUNT COMPLETELY. MODEL SOUNDINGS OVER THE PALMER DIVIDE SHOW A
BRIEF PERIOD OF MODERATE-HEAVY SNOW AS STRONG DIABATIC COOLING
COOLS THE VERTICAL TEMPERATURE PROFILE. COMBINED WITH SUSTAINED
WINDS AROUND 35 KTS WITH GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 50 KTS
POSSIBLE...BLIZZARD CONDITIONS STILL LOOK POSSIBLE DURING THE
MORNING HOURS...SO WILL KEEP THE BLIZZARD WATCH GOING FOR NORTHERN
EL PASO COUNTY. ANOTHER AREA THAT BEARS WATCHING WILL BE TELLER
COUNTY WITH SNOW AMOUNTS APPROACHING THE ADVISORY RANGE. ITS WORTH
NOTING HOWEVER THAN GFS IS PORTRAYING SIGNIFICANTLY LESS SNOWFALL
FOR THIS REGION...THUS CONFIDENCE STILL ISNT HIGH ENOUGH TO HOIST
THE WARNINGS/ADVISORIES JUST YET. SOUNDINGS LOOK FAIRLY WARM FOR
THE REMAINDER OF THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS...WITH PCPN FALLING IN THE
FORM OF RAIN FOR MOST AREAS...THOUGH COULD BE A BRIEF RAIN/SNOW
MIX FRI MORNING ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE
RATON RIDGE. HOWEVER...LOOKS TOO BRIEF TO WARRANT ANY HIGHLIGHTS
FOR SNOW FOR THIS AREA. FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SOUTHEAST
PLAINS...SFC GRADIENT QUITE STRONG DURING THE MORNING WITH BOTH
MET/MAV GUIDANCE SUGGESTING SUSTAINED SPEEDS OF 35-40 KTS ACROSS
THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS. GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 58 MPH LOOK DOABLE AS
WINDS AT H7 AROUND 50 KTS OR GREATER...AND SCATTERED SHOWERS MAY
HELP TO TRANSPORT HIGHER MOMENTUM ALOFT TO THE SFC. SO WILL HOIST
A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS FOR FRIDAY WHICH BLENDS
WELL WITH SURROUNDING OFFICES. NOT TO BE LEFT OUT...THE WESTERN
MTS WILL SEE SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS WANING QUICKLY THROUGH THE
DAY AS DRIER AIR WORKS INTO THE WEST.

CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE QUICKLY BY FRI NIGHT AS AN UPPER LVL RIDGE
TRANSITIONS OVER THE AREA BEHIND THE DEPARTING SYSTEM.  ANOTHER
WARMING TREND WILL SET IN FOR THE WEEKEND UNDER DRY SOUTHWEST FLOW.

GFS BRINGS THE NEXT SHORTWAVE ACROSS CO MONDAY/MONDAY NIGHT BRINGING
SHOWERS TO THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS...AND BREEZY CONDITIONS TO THE
SOUTHEAST PLAINS.  A STRONGER SYSTEM DROPS SOUTHEASTWARD AS IT
ENTERS THE WEST COAST TUES NIGHT...AND MOVES ACROSS CENTRAL AZ
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THEN ACROSS CO NEXT THURSDAY.  CURRENT GRIDS KEEP
POPS ACROSS THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS THROUGH THE LONG RANGE...AND PLAN
TO SPREAD THEM EASTWARD ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS FOR THE NEW DAY
8.

THANKS TO SURROUNDING OFFICES FOR COLLABORATION TONIGHT. -KT

...RED FLAG WARNING FROM 9 AM TO 9 PM TODAY FOR THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS AND
ADJACENT EASTERN SLOPES OF THE MOUNTAINS...

....SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW ADVISORY FROM NOON TODAY TO 6 AM THURSDAY
FOR THE EASTERN SAN JUAN MOUNTAINS ABOVE 10000 FEET...

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL...EAST
CENTRAL...SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST COLORADO.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

STRONG WINDS...LOW HUMIDITIES...AND DRY FUELS WILL CREATE CRITICAL
FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ACROSS THE PLAINS AND EASTERN SLOPES OF THE
SOUTHERN FRONT RANGE TODAY AND INTO THIS EVENING.

HEAVY SNOW AND STRONG WINDS WILL SPREAD INTO THE EASTERN SAN JUAN
MOUNTAINS THIS AFTERNOON...AND PERSIST OVERNIGHT. NEW SNOWFALL
ACCUMULATIONS OF 6 TO 12 INCHES ARE EXPECTED BY EARLY THURSDAY
MORNING. IN ADDITION...WIND GUSTS UP TO 50 MPH WILL CREATE AREAS OF
BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW...WITH VISIBILITIES DROPPING BELOW 1/4
MILE AT TIMES. TRAVEL WILL BE HAZARDOUS IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE AT TIMES.

THE REMAINDER OF THE MOUNTAINS OF SOUTHERN COLORADO WILL ALSO SEE
ACCUMULATING SNOW TONIGHT...BUT SNOW AMOUNTS WILL MOST LIKELY BE
LIGHTER AND RESTRICTED TO THE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS...GENERALLY ABOVE
10000 FEET. WINDS GUSTING TO 50 MPH OR MORE MAY CREATE AREAS OF
BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW AND REDUCED VISIBILITIES.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY

ON THURSDAY...A COMBINATION OF STRONG GUSTY WINDS...LOW HUMIDITIES
AND DRY FUELS WILL AGAIN BRING A HEIGHTENED LEVEL OF FIRE WEATHER CONCERN
TO THE SOUTHEAST COLORADO PLAINS AND ADJACENT MOUNTAINS. RIGHT
NOW...IT APPEARS THAT WINDS AND FUELS WILL EXCEED CRITICAL
LEVELS...BUT THE HUMIDITIES WILL BE A LITTLE TOO HIGH. SO...NO
HIGHLIGHTS ARE IN EFFECT AT THIS TIME.

SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW WILL FALL ACROSS THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS
THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. UP TO A FOOT OF SNOW COULD FALL IN THESE
AREAS FROM 6 AM THURSDAY THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY. STRONG WINDS WILL
PRODUCE AREAS OF BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW AT TIMES.

SOME SNOW AND WIND MAY SPREAD ACROSS THE PALMER DIVIDE ONTO THE
FAR EASTERN PLAINS LATE THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. AT THE PRESENT
TIME...IT IS UNCLEAR JUST HOW MUCH SNOW AND WIND WILL OCCUR IN
THESE AREAS. CURRENT SNOWFALL ESTIMATES RANGE FROM A DUSTING TO A
FEW INCHES...BUT HEAVIER SNOWFALL IS LOOKING POSSIBLE. IN
ADDITION...WINDS GUSTING OVER 40 MPH COULD CAUSE AREAS OF BLOWING
AND DRIFTING SNOW...ESPECIALLY IF SNOWFALL RATES ARE GREAT ENOUGH.

AFTER FRIDAY...THE NEXT WEATHER SYSTEM TO AFFECT SOUTHERN COLORADO
ARRIVES EARLY NEXT WEEK. THIS STORM COULD BRING MORE SNOW TO THE
MOUNTAINS ALONG THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE BY MONDAY EVENING.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

WEATHER CONDITIONS THAT MEET REPORTING CRITERIA FOR SPOTTERS WILL
BE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT OVER THE SOUTHWEST
MOUNTAINS.
