AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
452 AM MDT SUN MAY 6 2007

.SHORT TERM...
(TODAY AND TONIGHT)

...TRICKY FORECAST REGARDING WHERE RAIN AND SNOW WILL FALL OVER THE
NEXT 24 HOURS...

JUST WHEN IT SEEMED THE FOCUS FOR RAIN AND SNOW WOULD SHIFT TO
NORTHERN/WESTERN SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA TODAY AND
TONIGHT...THE 06Z NAM TAKES THE FOCUS FOR PRECIPITATION TO THE
SOUTHERN/EASTERN SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA.

WITH A BROAD...UPPER LEVEL LOW HOBBLING AROUND OVER THE FORECAST
AREA...MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO PIN DOWN WHERE OROGRAPHIC AND DYNAMIC
LIFT WILL FOCUS PRECIPITATION.  WITH EACH MODEL RUN...THE CENTER OF
THE UPPER LOW SHIFTS A LITTLE...WHICH ADJUSTS THE LOCATION OF WHERE
THE BEST OROGRAPHIC AND DYNAMIC LIFT WILL BE ACROSS SOUTHERN
COLORADO.  IT THROWS OFF ALL OF YOUR PRECONCEIVED NOTIONS OF WHERE
YOU THINK THE BEST PRECIPITATION WILL BE AND FORCES YOU TO
RECONSTRUCT THE FORECAST WITH EACH RUN.

IN ANY EVENT...IT APPEARS THAT SNOWFALL HAS WINDED DOWN ALONG THE
CONTINENTAL DIVIDE FOR NOW.  SENSORS INDICATE THE SNOW HAS STOPPED
AT WOLF CREEK...MONARCH AND LEADVILLE.  RADAR AND SATELLITE SHOW
VERY LITTLE ACTIVITY.  WITH THE UPPER LOW AXIS NOW SITTING OVER
COLORADO...OROGRAPHIC LIFT HAS ABATED.  MODELS INDICATE THERE SHOULD
BE A LULL IN ACTIVITY THIS MORNING...AND THAT APPEARS TO BE THE CASE.
SO...THE SNOW ADVISORY FOR CENTRAL MOUNTAINS WILL BE CANCELLED WITH
THIS PACKAGE.

PRECIPITATION SHOULD BE ON THE INCREASE AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH
TONIGHT.  EXACT PLACEMENT OF THE HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION REMAINS A
BIG QUESTION...BUT...IN GENERAL...MOST AREAS WILL SEE AN UPSWING AS
THE AFTERNOON PROGRESSES...ESPECIALLY FROM THE I-25 CORRIDOR
WESTWARD.

AS MENTIONED EARLIER...DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE WHERE HEAVIEST
PRECIPITATION WILL FOCUS LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT.  OLD RUNS HAD THE
FOCUS SHIFTING TO WESTERN AND NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST
AREA INCLUDING THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AND THE PIKES PEAK REGION.
HOWEVER...THE 06Z NAM HAS SHIFTED THE FOCUS TO SOUTHERN AND EASTERN
SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA...INCLUDING THE SOUTHEAST MOUNTAINS
AND THE EASTERN SLOPES OF THE SAN JUANS.  NOT SURE WHAT TO BELIEVE.
I KNOW BETTER THAN TO MAKE WHOLESALE CHANGES TO THE FORECAST BASED
ON THE 06Z RUN OF THE NAM.  BUT...THEN AGAIN...IT MIGHT BE RIGHT.

FOR NOW...WILL HOLD OFF ON ANY ADVISORY HIGHLIGHTS.  CONFIDENCE IN
POSITIONING OF HEAVY PRECIPITATION IS JUST TOO LOW TO CALL IT.
SINCE HEAVY PRECIPITATION IS NOT EXPECTED UNTIL LATE IN THE 1ST
PERIOD OR IN THE 2ND PERIOD...THERE WHERE BE TIME TO RESOLVE THINGS
ON THE DAY SHIFT AS MORE DATA BECOMES AVAILABLE.

HAVE OPTED TO GO WITH AT LEAST SCATTERED POPS EVERYWHERE FOR LATER
TODAY AND TONIGHT...WITH GENERALLY LIKELY POPS ALL MOUNTAIN AREAS.
THE LIKELY POPS FOR THE WESTERN/NORTHERN MOUNTAIN AREAS WERE ALREADY
PRETTY MUCH IN PLACE BASED ON PREVIOUS RUNS.  HOWEVER...I RAISED
POPS/QPF FOR THE SOUTHERN/EASTERN MOUNTAINS AND I-25 CORRIDOR BASED
ON THE CHANCE THAT THE 06Z NAM IS RIGHT.

THE MOUNTAIN AREAS COULD END UP WITH SEVERAL INCHES OF NEW SNOW BY
MONDAY MORNING.  THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF EL PASO COUNTY...ABOVE
6500 FEET...COULD ALSO SEE A FEW INCHES OF WET SNOW.
ELSEWHERE...MAINLY RAIN EXPECTED...BUT SOME WET SNOW MIXED IN AT
TIMES.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW AVERAGE TODAY AND
TONIGHT...AND SEVERAL DEGREES COOLER THAN YESTERDAY.  SEVERE
POTENTIAL LOOKS TO BE EAST OF SOUTHERN COLORADO TODAY.
HOWEVER...IT  WILL STILL BE UNSTABLE ENOUGH FOR A FEW
AFTERNOON/EVENING THUNDERSTORMS...WITH THE PRIMARY THREATS BEING PEA
SIZE HAIL...WIND GUSTS TO 40 MPH...AND LIGHTNING. SOME THUNDERSNOW
ALSO POSSIBLE. LW

.LONG TERM...
(MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)

MONDAY-WEDNESDAY...LATEST MODELS NOW KEEPING BROAD LONG WAVE TROUGH
ACROSS THE ROCKIES MONDAY WITH NAM AND GFS THEN INDICATING SOME
DIFFERENCES IN MOVEMENT THROUGH WEDNESDAY. LATEST NAM KEEPS A BROAD
UPPER TROUGH MOVING ACROSS THE STATE THROUGH WEDNESDAY WHEREAS GFS
DEVELOPS A CUTOFF LOW ACROSS WESTERN NEW MEXICO AND THEN SLOWLY
MOVES IT INTO WESTERN TEXAS LATE WEDNESDAY. AT ANY RATE...STRONG
VORT MAX MOVING INTO WESTERN COLORADO MONDAY MORNING CONTINUES TO
LIFT OUT ACROSS THE NORTHERN ROCKIES MONDAY NIGHT WITH ASSOCIATED
90+KT JET CORE MOVE ACROSS EASTERN COLORADO AND INTO THE NORTHERN
HIGH PLAINS. MODELS ALSO SEND A WEAK NORTHERLY SURGE ACROSS THE
PLAINS MONDAY MORNING WITH EASTERLY UPSLOPE FLOW DEVELOPING ACROSS
THE PLAINS BY MONDAY AFTERNOON. WITH GOOD UVV ACROSS CENTRAL
COLORADO AND STEEP LAPSE RATES ASSOCIATED WITH VORT MAX...ALONG MID
LEVEL AND UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE AND DEVELOPING UPSLOPE FLOW...SHOULD
SEE SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS DEVELOPING ONCE AGAIN LATE MONDAY
MORNING THROUGH THE EVENING. HAVE KEPT BEST POPS ACROSS THE HIGHER
TERRAIN SPREADING ACROSS THE HIGH MT VALLEYS AND I-25 CORRIDOR...WITH
ISOLATED POPS ACROSS THE FAR EASTERN PLAINS AS DRIER AIR ASSOCIATED
WITH JET MOVES ACROSS THE PLAINS. HAVE KEPT THE SAME IDEA GOING FOR
TUESDAY AS MODELS DO AGREE WITH A WEAKENING SHEAR AXIS MOVING ACROSS
THE STATE PROVIDING ENOUGH SUPPORT FOR SCATTERED CONVECTION WITH
CONTINUED BEST POPS ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN AND ADJACENT PLAINS.
HAVE LOWERED CURRENT MAX TEMP GRIDS AND GENERALLY COMPROMISED
BETWEEN THE WARMER MAV AND COOLER NAM ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE PLAINS
WITH INDICATED UPSLOPE FLOW THROUGH TUESDAY. FOR WEDNESDAY...MODELS
INDICATING DRIER AND WARMER WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW DEVELOPING THOUGH
DID INCREASE POPS A TAD ACROSS THE FAR SOUTHEAST PLAINS TO SUPPORT
POSSIBLE WRAP AROUND PRECIP WHICH GFS AND OTHER GLOBAL MODELS ARE
HINTING AT.

THURSDAY-SATURDAY...DID NOT MAKE TOO MANY CHANGES TO THIS PERIOD
AS LATEST GFS A TAD COOLER AND NOT AS STRONG WITH BUILDING UPPER
RIDGING ACROSS THE STATE...HOWEVER ECMWF STILL INDICATING NICE
WARMUP TO ABOVE SEASONAL AVERAGES INTO THE WEEKEND. -MW
