DE CRISTO MOUNTAINS HIGHER TERRAIN TONIGHT AND INCREASE DURING
SUNDAY. THIS WILL BE ESPECIALLY TRUE ALONG THE EASTERN SLOPES.
WIND GUSTS POTENTIAL COULD BE 70 TO 80 MPH ABOVE 10000 FEET
ACROSS THE WET AND SANGRE DE CRISTO MOUNTAINS ALONG WITH THE
EASTERN SLOPES OF PIKES PEAK. WIND GUSTS POTENTIAL COULD BE 50 TO
60 MPH ALONG THE RAMPART RANGE EASTERN SLOPES TO THE INTERSTATE
25 CORRIDOR ACROSS EL PASO COUNTY. RELATIVELY LIGHTER WINDS COULD
BE FOUND EAST OF INTERSTATE 25 ACROSS EL PASO COUNTY. THE AREA
HAVING THE GREATER POTENTIAL FOR STRONG AND DAMAGING WINDS IS
EASTERN TELLER AND WESTERN EL PASO COUNTIES TONIGHT AND SUNDAY.

A HIGH WIND WATCH IS ISSUED FOR THE MOUNTAINS WHEN THERE IS THE
POTENTIAL FOR SUSTAINED WINDS OF AT LEAST 50 MPH OR GUSTS TO AT
LEAST 70 MPH. A HIGH WIND WATCH IS ISSUED FOR THE PLAINS OR HIGH
VALLEYS WHEN THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SUSTAINED WINDS OF AT
LEAST 40 MPH OR GUSTS TO AT LEAST 58 MPH.

VULNERABLE TO THE THREAT OF STRONG CROSSWINDS. OTHER POTENTIAL
HIGH WIND HAZARDS INCLUDE FLYING DEBRIS AND BLOWING DUST. IF YOU
ARE PLANNING TRAVEL IN THE WATCH AREA DURING THE TIME OF THE

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
248 PM MST FRI DEC 28 2007

.SHORT TERM...
(TONIGHT AND SATURDAY)

CURRENTLY...INCREASING HIGH CLOUDS THIS AFTERNOON AHEAD OF WEAK
SHORT WAVE OVER THE GREAT BASIN. WEAK SOUTHEAST FLOW OVER THE PLAINS
HELPED RAISE TEMPS A FEW DEGREES BUT STILL BELOW FREEZING. WINDS
ALOFT INCREASING AHEAD OF SHORT WAVE WITH MONARCH PASS SENSOR
REPORTING GUSTS INTO THE 30S AND LEADVILLE GUSTING INTO 20S.

TONIGHT...FOR THE MOST PART HELD ON TO CURRENT FORECAST NUMBERS.
TRIED TO DEPICT A LITTLE WARMER ALONG AND WEST OF I-25 WITH ATLEAST
AN OCCASIONAL WESTERLY BREEZE BUT KEPT TEMPS DOWN AWAY FROM THE TERRAIN.
KEPT SAN LUIS VALLEY IN THE DEEP FREEZE WITH STRONG INVERSION
EXPECTED TO FORM UNDER MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES. MAY SEE SOME LOW STRATUS
IN THE PRE-DAWN TIME FRAME SO DEPEICTED SMALL AREA OF STRATUS OVER
RIO GRANDE VALLEY FROM 10-14Z. REST OF THE EASTERN 2/3RDS OF THE
CWFA SHOULD HAVE SOME HIGH CIRRUS UNTIL AFTER 06Z THEN MOSTLY CLEAR.
WENT BELOW GUIDANCE MOST AREAS AS NAM AND GFS SEEM TO WARM IT UP TOO
QUICKLY. OF COURSE IF WINDS STAY UP THEN SO WILL TEMPS.

SATURDAY...A LITTLE BETTER MIXING OVER THE CWFA WITH INCREASING
SURFACE WINDS AHEAD OF NEXT SYSTEM. THIS SHOULD HELP BOOST TEMPS
OVER EASTERN PLAINS TO ABOVE FREEZING MOST AREAS.  WEAK SHORT WAVE
MOVES OVER THE CWFA PRODUCING ISOLATED SNOW SHOWERS ALONG
CONTINENTAL DIVIDE LATE WITH INCREASING WINDS ALOFT BEHIND SHORT
WAVE AS STRONG UPPER JET APPROACHES. CLOUDS WIND AND SOME ISOLATED
SNOW OVER THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL MOUNTAINS WILL HOLD TEMPS DOWN IN
THOSE AREAS. -FORTUNE-

.LONG TERM...
(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)

...WIND AND MOUNTAIN SNOWS SUNDAY INTO MONDAY...
...WARMER WEATHER RETURNS NEXT WEEK...

MAIN CONCERN IN THE EXTENDED IS THE IMPACT OF A STRONG JET STREAM
THAT WILL MOVE THROUGH NORTHERN COLORADO LATE SUNDAY. FIRST CONCERN
IS MOUNTAIN SNOWS OVER THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE. THIS WILL BE PRIMARILY
AN OROGRAPHIC EVENT...SO MOST OF THE ACCUMULATING SNOWS WILL BE OVER
THE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS OF THE SAWATCH RANGE. 24 HOUR SNOW TOTALS
COULD EXCEED 8 INCHES FROM SUN 12Z TO MON 12Z...PARTICULARLY OVER
THE WEST SLOPES AND HIGHER ELEVATIONS IN N LAKE COUNTY.

MORE SIGNIFICANT EVENT COULD BE THE STRONG UPPER WINDS AND POTENTIAL FOR
MTN WAVE ACTIVITY SUN MORN. THE MTN WAVE CONCERN WILL BE HIGHEST OVR
THE ERN RANGES...PARTICULARLY THE PIKES PEAK REGION AND THE SANGRE
DE CRISTO RANGE. MODEL XSECTIONS INDICATE MTN WAVE POTENTIAL EARLY
SUN...WITH A DISTINCT STABLE LAYER AT RIDGE TOP...AND REVERSE SHEAR.
STRONGEST WAVE ACTIVITY LOOKS TO BE OVR THE SRN RAMPARTS...WITH 75
KT BARBS APPEARING AT RIDGE TOP. MAY NEED WIND HIGHLITES FOR THIS
PERIOD. DURING THE DAY SUN...CORE OF THE 160 KT JET BEGINS TO MOVE
OVR NRN CO...AND THE WIND EVENT TRANSITIONS TO LESS OF A MTN WAVE
THREAT BUT CONTINUES TO LOOK VERY WINDY FOR THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS. BY
03Z...H5 WINDS EXCEED 100 KTS OVER THE ERN
MTN RANGES. EXPECT WIDESPREAD 60+ KNOT WIND GUSTS OVER THE MOUNTAINS
ON SUNDAY...AND THE HIGHEST ELEVS...SUCH AS PIKES PEAK...WILL BE
GUSTING WELL ABOVE THAT.

OVR THE PLAINS...WILL BE WINDY AND RELATIVELY MILD SUN...THEN
TRANSITION TO A MUCH COLDER MON AS AN ARCTIC FRONT BLAST THROUGH ERN
CO SUN NIGHT. NAM CONTINUES TO INDICATE MUCH LESS MOISTURE WITH THE
FRONT THAN THE GFS...BUT DOES CLEARLY SHOW AN INCREASE IN CLOUD
COVER AND EVEN HINTS AT QPF OVR THE SERN MTNS. GFS IS CONSISTENT
WITH LIGHT QPF W OF THE I-25 CORRIDOR SUN NIGHT. SO...HAVE BOOSTED
POPS SLIGHTLY TO INDICATE LOW PROBABILITY OF SOME LIGHT SNOW WITH
THE FRONT OVERNIGHT. WINDS WILL RELAX SOMEWHAT ON MON...THOUGH THE
BACK END OF THE JET WILL KEEP THINGS BLOWING OVR THE MTNS. BOTH MON
AND TUE WILL BE RATHER CHILLY...WITH HIGHS ON THE PLAINS STRUGGLING
TO GET ABOVE FREEZING.

A STRONG RIDGE WILL THEN BUILD OVR THE ROCKIES BY WED...AND THE
LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK SHOULD FEATURE A PERIOD OF DRY AND
RELATIVELY WARM WEATHER. MORE UNSETTLED WEATHER MAY RETURN BY THE
FOLLOWING WEEK...AS ANOTHER DEEP PACIFIC TROUGH MOVES ONSHORE. ROSE
