   SLOPES OF S MTNS AND RATON MESA REGION...

...VERY STRONG WINDS ON PLAINS...

NOT TOO MUCH OVERALL CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSIONS. VERY DYNAMIC
AND INTENSE STORM SYSTEM WILL AFFECT THE REGION ON THURSDAY.
SIMULATIONS FROM RUN TO RUN INDICATE STORM TO BE A BIT SLOWER AND
STRONGER. EAST TO NORTHEAST WINDS IN EXCESS OF 50 KNOTS WILL BE
SLAMMING UP ACROSS THE PALMER DIVIDE AND THE WET AND SANGRE DE
CRISTO MOUNTAINS. THIS SHOULD LEAD TO INCREDIBLE SNOWFALL
RATES...ESPECIALLY IN THE WET AND SANGRE DE CRISTO MOUNTAINS.
SNOWFALL AT THESE LOCATIONS WILL BE MEASURED WITH YARDSTICKS.

THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THE EAST FACING SLOPES WILL GET POUNDED WITH
SNOW FROM THIS SYSTEM ALONG WITH THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE I-25
CORRIDOR. THE MAIN CONCERN WILL BE THE PLAINS BELOW 6000 FEET. BY
THU MORNING...IT SHOULD BE SNOWING VERY HEAVILY ACROSS ALL AREAS
ABOVE 6 KFT ALONG THE PALMER DVD...AND E FACING SLOPES OF WETS AND
SANGRES. BELOW 6 KFT...IT MAY BE JUST RAIN OUT EAST DURING THU
MORNING WITH IT GOING OVER TO HEAVY WET WIND DRIVEN SNOW GRADUALLY
AS THE DAY PROGRESSES...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE RATON MESA. WINDS ON THE
PLAINS WILL BE VERY STRONG WITH GUSTS IN THE 40-60 MPH RANGE. EVEN
THOUGH IT WILL LIKELY BE RAIN THU MORNING OUT EAST...WE BELIEVE IT
BEST TO LEAVE THE BLIZZARD WATCH FOR ALL OF THE PLAINS FOR NOW AND
LET LATER SHIFTS ADJUST HILITES. OVER THE PIKES PEAK
REGION...PRECIP SHOULD BE ENDING BY EARLY AFTERNOON...BUT WILL
CONTINUE OVER THE REST OF THE PLAINS...ESPECIALLY THE S SXNS OF
THE PLAINS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.

SINCE THIS SNOW WILL BE QUITE WET IT WILL BE HEAVY. SOME ROOF
DAMAGE WILL BE POSSIBLE. WITH WINDS GUSTING TO NEAR HURRICANE
FORCE...THERE WILL BE POWER OUTAGES.

TRAVEL IS STRONGLY DISCOURAGED ON THURSDAY ACROSS THE
REGION...ESPECIALLY ALONG I-25 CORRIDOR...S FACING SLOPES OF S
MTNS AND RATON MESA REGION. TRAVEL WILL LIKELY BECOME IMPOSSIBLE
IN PLACES.

AS WITH THE CASE WITH PREVIOUS BLIZZARDS...THE N SXNS OF PUEBLO
COUNTY WILL LIKELY GET SHADOWED FROM THE PALMER DVD WHILE THE S SXNS
OF PUEBLO COUNTY WILL GET HIT QUITE HARD. THIS SHADOW AFFECT
INDICATED IN THE QPF FIELDS.

I MADE LITTLE IF ANY CHANGES TO THE GRIDDED DATABASE BEYOND FRIDAY.

...BLIZZARD WATCH FROM 9 PM WEDNESDAY UNTIL 6 PM THURSDAY FOR THE
ENTIRE SOUTHEAST PLAINS INCLUDING THE INTERSTATE 25 CORRIDOR...

...WINTER STORM WATCH FROM 9 PM WEDNESDAY UNTIL 6 PM THURSDAY FOR
THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS...

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

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

LIGHT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF LESS THAN ONE INCH WILL BE POSSIBLE LATE
TONIGHT OVER THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AND THE
SOUTHWEST MOUNTAINS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY

PRESENT GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL
DEVELOP OVER NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND SLOWLY MOVE
EAST ON THURSDAY. STRONG NORTH TO NORTHWEST WINDS WILL DEVELOP ON
THE EASTERN PLAINS WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUE THROUGH
THURSDAY...ALONG WITH AN AREA OF SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION.
CURRENTLY...IT APPEARS THAT ENOUGH COLD AIR WILL MOVE INTO THE
SYSTEM FOR THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL ON THE
PLAINS. ANY SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL COMBINED WITH THE STRONG WINDS WILL
CREATE BLIZZARD CONDITIONS OVER PORTIONS OF THE PLAINS.

ONE LOCATION FAVORED FOR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS WITH THE PROJECTED
STORM PATH IS NORTHERN EL PASO COUNTY. IF THE PROJECTED STORM PATH
CONTINUES...HIGHWAY 24...INTERSTATE 25 AND HIGHWAY 94 IN NORTHERN
EL PASO COUNTY MAY BE PARTICULARLY HARD HIT BY THIS EVENT.

IN THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS...LOW LEVEL FLOW MAY TURN ENOUGH TO THE
NORTHEAST TO PRODUCE SNOW. WITH THE STRONG LOW LEVEL WINDS...IT
WILL NOT TAKE MUCH OF TURN OF THE WINDS TOWARDS THE EAST TO
PRODUCE HEAVY SNOW.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

WEATHER SPOTTERS WILL NOT BE NEEDED TODAY OR TONIGHT.

CORRECTED SPELLING IN HEADLINE...
