AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
434 AM MDT WED JUN 6 2007

.SHORT TERM...
(TODAY AND TONIGHT)

MAIN STORY TODAY WILL BE THE WINDS.  UNSEASONABLY STRONG UPPER LOW
OVER THE PACIFIC NW AND NORTHERN GREAT BASIN WILL BE EJECTING TO THE
EAST ACROSS WY AND INTO THE DAKOTAS BY TONIGHT DRAGGING A BORA TYPE
COLD FRONT ACROSS THE AREA DURING THE AFTN.  ASSOCIATED 120+ KT
UPPER JET CORE WILL TRANSLATE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA DURING THE
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING.  SFC LEE TROF ALREADY DEEPENING IN
RESPONSE TO APPROACHING SYSTEM...AND BOTH GFS/NAM SHOW IMPRESSIVE
SFC PRESSURE GRADIENT DEVELOPING BY AFTN ACROSS EASTERN CO AS SFC
TROF CONTINUES TO DEEPEN.  NAM12 MODEL SOUNDING SHOWING A DEEP MIXED
LAYER WITH 35 TO 40 KTS OF WIND ACROSS THE SE PLAINS...WITH THE AXIS
OF STRONGEST WINDS ALONG THE SOUTHERN BORDER AREAS.  WINDS MIX DOWN
FAIRLY EARLY THIS MORNING...WITH KPUB PROBABLY THE LAST TO SEE THE
STRONG WINDS SPREADING IN BY LATE MORNING/EARLY AFTN.
OVERALL...LOOKS LIKE A DECENT SET UP FOR HIGH WINDS DUE TO DEEP
MIXING...WITH SUSTAINED WINDS LIKELY MEETING THE CRITERIA OF 40 MPH
ACROSS THE PLAINS...AND 50 MPH ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS.  THINK HIGH WIND
GUST CRITERIA (58 MPH PLAINS...70 MPH MOUNTAINS) MAY BE A BIT HARDER
TO ACHIEVE ON A WIDESPREAD BASIS...WITH VALUES COMING IN AT OR JUST
BELOW CRITERIA.  REGARDLESS...WITH SUSTAINED VALUES SO HIGH...WILL GO AHEAD
AND HOIST THE WARNING.  HAVE ALSO ADDED THE EASTERN SAN JUAN
MTS...AND THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS AND EASTERN SLOPES OF THE LA
GARITAS...WHERE MODELS SHOWING MTN TOP SUSTAINED WINDS AROUND 50-60
KTS.  WINDS LOOK A LITTLE WEAKER OVER THE CHAFFEE/LAKE COUNTY
AREAS...IN PROXIMITY TO UPPER LOW...SO NO HIGH WIND HIGHLIGHTS
NEEDED THERE.

AS FOR PRECIPITATION CHANCES...AS UPPER TROF GLANCES BY TO THE
NORTH...MOISTURE INCREASES AND LAPSE RATES STEEPEN AS UPPER LEVEL
COLD POOL GLANCES BY.  THIS WILL BRING A ROUND OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO THE MOUNTAINS ALONG AND WEST OF THE CONTINENTAL
DIVIDE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT.  RAIN/SNOW LEVELS WILL
INITIALLY START OUT RATHER HIGH...BUT COLD AIR ADVECTION BEHIND THE
FRONT WHICH MOVES THROUGH THIS AFTN...SHOULD QUICKLY DROP SNOW
LEVELS TO AROUND 9000 FEET THROUGH THE EVENING.  NAM12 SUGGESTS UP
TO 4 INCHES OF SNOW POSSIBLE FOR THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE
SAWATCH AND MOSQUITO RANGES BY EARLY THURS MORNING...AND COMBINED
WITH HEALTHY WEST WINDS...SOME BLOWING AND DRIFTING WILL OCCUR.
LATER SHIFTS MAY NEED TO MONITOR HIGHER ELEVATION ZONES OF CHAFFEE
AND LAKE COUNTIES FOR POSSIBLE SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW ADVISORIES FOR
TONIGHT.  EVEN THOUGH SNOW AMOUNTS ARE BELOW THRESHOLD...THIS IS A
RATHER LATE SEASON EVENT...AND MAY WARRANT A HIGHLIGHT IF 12Z MODEL
RUNS CONTINUE TO INDICATE HEALTHY SNOW AMOUNTS.  FARTHER
SOUTH...MOISTURE GLANCES BY THE EASTERN SAN JUANS AND LA GARITA
MOUNTAINS...SO NOT EXPECTING MUCH HERE.  SAN LUIS VALLEY...EASTERN
MOUNTAINS...AND SOUTHEAST PLAINS SHOULD STAY LARGELY DRY...THOUGH A
STRAY SHOWER WOULDN/T BE OUT OF THE REALM OF POSSIBILITY FOR THE
PIKES PEAK AREA AND NORTHERN FREMONT COUNTY.  THIS MAY ACTUALLY HELP
BRING DOWN STRONGER WIND GUSTS THAN PRODUCE MUCH IN THE WAY OF
PRECIPITATION.

WINDS WILL DIMINISH THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS...SO WILL END THE HIGH
WIND WARNING AT 03Z.  HOWEVER...INTERESTING SET UP FOR POTENTIAL
MOUNTAIN WAVE EVENT BEGINS AFTER 06Z FOR THE PIKES PEAK REGION AND
POINTS NORTHWARD.  MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW AN IMPRESSIVE MOUNTAIN TOP
INVERSION...WITH SIGNIFICANT REVERSE SHEAR ABOVE. WINDS AT MTN TOP
LAYER INCREASE TO AROUND 50-65 KTS BY 09Z...WITH A DUE WEST WIND
COMPONENT...WHICH IS A FAVORABLE COMPONENT TO PRODUCE A MOUNTAIN
WAVE INDUCED HIGH WIND EVENT FOR THE PIKES PEAK REGION.  PARAMETERS
LOOK EVEN MORE FAVORABLE TO THE NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA...ACROSS
THE FRONT RANGE.  IN FACT...THIS EVENT HAS SOME OF THE STRONGEST
SIGNATURES IVE SEEN FOR A MTN WAVE EVENT IN THE NAM12 DATA.  THUS...WILL
HOIST A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR THE PIKES PEAK/TELLER COUNTY...AND EL
PASO COUNTY FOR LATE TONIGHT WHICH WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TOMORROW
MORNING.  FARTHER SOUTH...MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW MUCH MORE FORWARD
SHEAR ALOFT...WHICH IS MORE CONDUCIVE FOR TRAPPED WAVES.  -KT

.LONG TERM...
(THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)

MAIN CONCERN IS THE POTENTIAL FOR A HIGH WIND EVENT THRU THE
MORNING HOURS THU FOR TELLER AND PORTIONS OF WRN EL PASO COUNTY.
STRONG UPR LOW WL BE OVR THE DAKOTAS THU MORNING WITH A 100KT JET
LYING OVR THE FORECAST AREA. A STRONG MT TOP STABLE LAYER IS
FORECAST TO REMAIN IN PLACE THU MORNING...WITH MT TOP WINDS
AROUND 70 KTS...AND A CRITICAL LAYER ABOVE. 00Z AND 06Z NAM BOTH
SHOWED STRONG BL WINDS ALONG THE RAMPART RANGE...WITH WINDS OF
AROUND 70 KTS AT 12Z THU. HIGH WIND WATCH WL RUN THRU THU MORNING
FOR TELLER AND EL PASO COUNTIES. BY AFTERNOON IT LOOKS LIKE THE
WINDS SHOULD DECREASE SOME...BUT IT WL STILL BE BREEZY TO WINDY.
SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS SHOULD CONTINUE IN PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL
MTS THRU THE DAY...AND COULD SEE SOME LIGHT ADDITIONAL SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS IN THE MORNING. PREVIOUS MODEL RUNS KEPT ALL OTHER
AREAS DRY THU...BUT THE 06Z RUN OF THE NAM IS PRINTING OUT SOME
PCPN OVR SOME PORTIONS OF THE SERN PLAINS LATE THU AFTERNOON AND
FOR THE EVENING WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. WL LEAVE THE FORECAST
DRY FOR NOW. THU NIGHT FREEZING TEMPS ARE LIKELY IN PORTIONS OF
THE SAN LUIS VALLEY. IT IS TOO EARLY TO ISSUE A HIGHLIGHT FOR
THIS. BY FRI THAT SYSTEM IS WELL TO THE EAST AND A WK SHRTWV RIDGE
WL BE OVR THE AREA AND TEMPS WARM UP SOME MAINLY FOR THE WRN
AREAS. SHOULD HAVE DRY WEA THIS DAY. ON SATURDAY THE RIDGE WL
STILL BE OVR THE AREA...BUT FOR THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING
HOURS...A SHRTWV TROF IS FORECAST TO MOVE OVR NERN NM AND THE
MODELS SHOW SOME CONVECTION DEVELOPING OVR THE FAR SERN
PLAINS...WHICH COULD CONTINUE INTO THE LATE NIGHT. SUN THE WEAK
RIDGE WL STILL BE OVR THE AREA...AND IT LOOKS TO BE A DRY AND EVEN
WARMER DAY. MON AN UPR TROF WL MOVE THROUGH WY...FLATTENING THE
RIDGE OVR OUR AREA. DRY AND WARM WRLY FLOW WL CONTINUE THRU TUES.
HIGHS SUN-TUE OVR MUCH OF THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS WL BE IN THE UPR
80S AND LOWER 90S.

&&

.AVIATION...WINDS WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE AREA BY 15Z...WITH
SUSTAINED WINDS APPROACHING 30-35 KTS ACROSS THE TAF SITES BY 18Z.
WINDS OVER THE HIGHER MOUNTAINS WILL REACH SUSTAINED SPEEDS OF
AROUND 45-50 KTS BY THIS AFTERNOON AS A STRONG UPPER LEVEL JET CORE
MOVES OVERHEAD.  WIND GUSTS UP TO 50 KTS ACROSS THE LOWER
ELEVATIONS...AND UP TO 60 KTS CAN BE EXPECTED ACROSS THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS.  STRONG TURBULENCE EXPECTED ALONG THE LEE OF THE
MOUNTAINS TODAY WITH LOCALIZED WIND SHEAR POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY THIS
MORNING.  OVERNIGHT...PARAMETERS LOOK FAVORABLE FOR A MOUNTAIN WAVE
HIGH WIND EVENT ACROSS THE PIKES PEAK REGION AND THE KCOS TAF SITE
AFTER 06Z.  WIND SHEAR ALONG THE LEE OF THE RAMPART RANGE WILL BE
POSSIBLE AS WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE BY EARLY
MORNING.
