AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
327 PM MST SUN NOV 26 2006

.SHORT TERM...
(TONIGHT AND MONDAY)

MAIN CONCERNS HAVE TO DO WITH A FRONT THAT WL BE COMING IN TONIGHT
AND THE ASSOCIATED LOW LEVEL MSTR AND COLD AIR.  SATELLITE IMAGES
AND SFC OBS ARE SHOWING THE FRONT AND LOW CLOUDS OVER NERN CO AND
NORTHWEST KS...WORKING ITS WAY SOUTH. THE NAM HAS THE FRONT MAKING
IT THROUGH MUCH OF THE SERN PLAINS...BUT NOT INTO THE SERN FOOTHILLS
AROUND WALSENBURG AND THE WRN HALF OF LAS ANIMAS COUNTY.  THE
ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MSTR BEHIND THIS FRONT WL LEAD TO LOW CLOUDS
MOVING OVR MOST OF THE SERN PLAINS TONIGHT WITH SOME AREAS OF FOG.
THERE IS A HINT THAT SOME LIGHT PCPN COULD OCCUR LATE TONIGHT/MON
MORNING...BUT FOR NOW WL LEAVE THE ERN AREAS DRY. THE NAM KEEPS THAT
LOW LEVEL MSTR OVR MUCH OF THE SERN PLAINS THRU THE MORNING
HOURS...AND THEN BACKS IT OFF TOWARD THE E IN THE AFTERNOON.
HOWEVER IT IS LIKELY THAT LOW CLOUD WL REMAIN OVR AREAS LIKE KIOWA
COUNTY...PORTIONS OF PROWERS AND BENT COUNTIES THRU THE AFTERNOON AS
WELL.  THE MODELS HAVE STRONGER SW WIND DEVELOPING ALONG THE I-25
CORRIDOR FOR THE AFTERNOON AND IF THIS DOES OCCUR IT WOULD HELP PUSH
THE COOLER AIR OUT OF THAT AREA.  EXACTLY WHERE THE FRONT WL END UP
IS THE BIG QUESTION.  THE MODELS KEEP WARMER AIR OVR LAS ANIMAS
COUNTY AND THEN AS THE STRONGER SOUTHERLY FLOW DEVELOPS OVR BACA
COUNTY FOR MON AFTERNOON IT PUSHES THE FRONT/COLDER AIR BACK NORTH.
IT IS HARD TO SAY IF THIS WL HAPPEN.  WITH THE LOW CLOUDS MOVING IN
TO ERN AREAS AND REMAINING OVR SOME AREAS...MOS GUIDANCE MAX TEMPS
FOR MON ARE MUCH TOO WARM FOR FAR ERN AREAS.  AFTER TALKING WITH
SURROUNDING OFFICES...HAVE COME TO AN AGREEMENT ON TEMPS AND HAVE
MADE SOME SIGNIFICANT ADJUSTMENTS DOWNWARD...AND HAVE TRIED TO
ACCOUNT FOR THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE MODELS ARE RIGHT IN BRINING
WARMER SOUTHERLY FLOW TO AREAS ALONG THE SRN BORDER. AS FOR WRN
PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA...SHRTWV TROF MOVED THRU NRN PORTIONS
THIS MORNING BUT IS NOW OUT OF THE AREA. SOME CLOUD REMAIN OVR
MAINLY THE HYR TRRN...WITH LITTLE CHANCE FOR ANY PCPN THRU TONIGHT.
A NEW SHRTWV TROF WL MOVE INTO THE AREA ON MON.  THERE WL BE A THIN
LAYER OF MSTR OVR THAT AREA DURING THE MORNING HOURS AND THE
OROGRAPHIC FLOW WL LIKELY LEAD TO SOME ISOLD SHOWER OVR THE SW AND
CENTRAL MTS.  AT THIS TIME...MODEL CROSS-SECTIONS SHOW THE LAYER
MSTR DEEPENING UP THU 500MB BY LATE AFTERNOON WITH THE SW FLOW ALOFT
INCREASING.  WILL INCREASE POPS TO CATEGORICAL FOR ZONES 60/66/68.
WILL UPGRADE OUR WINTER STORM WATCH TO A WARNING FOR ZONES 60/66/68.
HAVE DECIDED TO UPGRADE TO A WARNING.  28

.LONG TERM...
(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)

...MAJOR WINTER STORM...HIGH WINDS...AND VERY COLD AIR ARE ON THE WAY...

AM PRESSED FOR THIME THIS AFTERNOON SO WILL HAVE TO CURB THE URGE
TO BE LONG-WINDED. HEAVY ORAOGRAPHIC SNOWS ARE EXPECTED MONDAY EVE
THROUGH TUESDAY...ESPECIALLY OVER THE SAN JUANS AND LA GARITAS.
DEPTH OF MOIST LAYER STILL LOOKS A BIT SHALLOW...BUT COLD AIR AND
STRONG WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN PLAYERS. NAM HAS BEEEN CONSISTENTLY
SHOWING HEAVY QPF OVER THE SAN JUANS AND LATEST GFS EVEN HAS
SHIFTED THE HEAVIEST SNOWS TO THE SOUTH. SO...WOLF CREEK SHOULD BE
THE BIG WINNER WITH UP TO 3 FEET OF SNOW POSSIBLE WHEN ITS ALL
OVER. SHOULD SEE A GOOD 1 TO 2 FT ELSEWHERE OVER THE DIVIDE.

HIGH WINDS CONTINUE TO BE A CONCERN WITH A 100 KT H5 JET MAX
MOVING THROUGH SRN CO MON NIGHT INTO TUE. NAM HAS BEEN CONSISTENT
IN SHOWING STRONG MTN WAVE DYNAMICS OVER THE SANGRE DE CRISTO
RANGE...AND GIVEN THE EXPECTED STRENGTH AND DIRECTION OF THE MID
LEVEL WINDS...HAVE PUT OUT A WATCH FOR THE ERN MTN RANGES LATE MON
NIGHT INTO TUE MORNING. WET MTN VLLY AND SPANISH PEAKS AREA LOOK
TO HAVE THE GREATEST RISK...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR HURRICANE FORCE
WIND GUSTS THIS TIME FRAME.

SNOW OVER THE PLAINS STILL A BIT UP IN THE AIR. LATEST MODEL RUNS
HAVE SLOWED DOWN THE DEVELOPING STORM...AND HINT AT THE
POSSIBILITY OF A SECONDARY UPPER LOW CUTTING OFF AT THE BASE OF
THE TROUGH. ECMWF HAS ALSO HINTED AT THIS POSSIBILITY. IF THIS
OCCURS...MAY SEE ENOUGH OF AN EASTERLY WIND COMPONENT IN THE LOWER
LEVELS ON WED TO BRING SOME LIGHT SNOW TO THE PLAINS...AND
POSSIBLY ADVISORY LEVELS TO THE ERN MTNS. WITH THE SLOWER
SOLUTION...STILL A BIT EARLY TO SAY FOR SURE BUT WILL HAVE TO BE WATCHED.

FINALLY...COLD AIR FOR WED-THU IS PROBLEMATIC AND LED TO SOME
DIFFICULTY IN TRYING TO COORDINATED INTER-OFFICE TEMPERATURES ON
THU. NO QUESTION THAT SOME REAL COLD AIR IS IN PLACE UP IN
CANADA...QUESTION IS TO WHAT EXTENT THIS AIRMASS WILL MAKE IT
INTO SERN CO. FEEL IT IS TOO EARLY TO GO MUCH FURTHER THAN 10
DEGREES BELOW STATISTICAL GUIDANCE. LATER SHIFTS CAN REEVALUATE IF
SHALLOW COLD AIR AND/OR SNOW BECOMES MORE LIKELY THIS TIME FRAME.
AT ANY RATE...IT WILL BE COLD...WITH HIGHS IN THE 20S FOR THE
PLAINS NOT UNLIKELY FOR THU. SHOULD BE AN INTERESTING PERIOD OF
WEATHER. ROSE
