AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
346 AM MST WED FEB 14 2007

.SHORT TERM...
(TODAY AND TONIGHT)

CURRENTLY...SNOW HAS BECOME FAIRLY PATCHY THIS MORNING...ESPECIALLY
SOUTH OF THE ARKANSAS RIVER WHERE ONLY FLURRIES/VERY LIGHT SNOW HAVE
BEEN REPORTED SINCE MIDNIGHT. KPUX RADAR LOOP SUGGESTS SOME
REDEVELOPMENT OF LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOW OVER PUEBLO AND FREMONT
COUNTIES AS OF 10Z...WITH LIGHT SNOW RESUMING HERE AT THE WFO. HAVE
HAD ONLY A FEW SNOWFALL REPORTS SO FAR THIS MORNING...WITH MOST
AREAS IN THE 1 TO 3 INCH RANGE.

TODAY...MODELS SUGGEST PATCHY SNOWFALL CONTINUING THROUGH THE
DAY...WITH PERHAPS A BREAK AROUND MIDDAY ALONG THE I-25 CORRIDOR AS
UPSLOPE FLOW FADES FOR A FEW HOURS. WAS TEMPTED TO LOWER POPS
SOMEWHAT FOR TODAY AS SNOW WILL NOT BE CONTINUOUS...BUT GIVEN RADAR
TREND OF INCREASING ECHOES THIS MORNING...WILL MAINTAIN THE LIKELY
POPS ALONG AND NORTH OF THE ARKANSAS...WITH HIGH CHANCE POPS FARTHER
SOUTH. NOT EXPECTING MUCH IN THE WAY OF ACCUMULATION...GENERALLY
LESS THAN 2 INCHES AREAWIDE. COLD TEMPS TO CONTINUE...WITH CURRENT
MAX TEMP GRID LOOKING OK.

TONIGHT...NORTHERN STREAM SHORT WAVE TROUGH DROPS SOUTH INTO
NEBRASKA BY THURSDAY MORNING...WITH A REINFORCING SURGE OF COLD AIR
MOVING ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS. COMBINATION OF WEAK UPWARD MOTION
PLUS SLIGHTLY REINVIGORATED NORTHEASTERLY UPSLOPE FLOW SHOULD
PRODUCE AN UPTURN IN SNOW CHANCES THROUGH 09Z OR SO...BEFORE LIFT
FADES AWAY TOWARD SUNRISE. INCREASED POPS OVER THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS
AND ALONG THE I-25 CORRIDOR INTO THE LIKELY CATEGORY...WITH PERHAPS
ANOTHER INCH OR 2 OF ACCUMULATION POSSIBLE. LOWERED MIN TEMPS A
DEGREE OR 2...WITH REMAINING GRIDS LOOKING FINE. --PETERSEN

.LONG TERM...
(THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...AS THE SHORTWAVE EXITS THE REGION...SWIFT NW
FLOW ALOFT WILL BE IN PLACE FOR THE STATE WITH ANOTHER SHORTWAVE
SCHEDULED TO DROP DOWN ON FRI. THIS WILL KEEP A CHANCE FOR PCPN
FOR THE WESTERN SECTIONS OF THE CWA...WITH THE HIGHEST POPS FOR
THE UPPER PORTIONS OF LAKE AND CHAFFEE COUNTIES. IN ADDITION...A
TIGHT PRES GRADIENT MEANS STRONGER WINDS ALOFT FOR THE MTS. ON
THU...THEN HIGHER GUSTS ALL AREAS FRI AFTN AND EVE AS THE NEXT
SHORTWAVE CROSSES CO. ADJUSTED WIND AND WINDGUST GRIDS TO
ILLUSTRATE THIS. AS FOR TEMPS...COOL DAY FOR THU AS COLD AIR WILL
STILL BE IN PLACE...BUT ABOUT 15 DEG WARMER FOR FRI AS THE
STRONGER WINDS SHOUILD START MIXING THE LOWER LEVELS.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...GFS AND NAM SHOW A RIDGE MOVING ACROSS THE
SW U.S. FOR THE WEEKEND...ALLOWING WINDS TO EASE AND PERHAPS
USHERING IN A BRIEF SPELL OF WARMER TEMPS. ONGOING FORECAST GRIDS
OF ABUNDANT SUN AND MAX TEMPS IN THE 40S TO LOWER 50S LOOK GOOD.
DID ADJUST THE POP GRIDS TO SHOW ISOLATED POPS FOR THE C MTS
DIMINISHING SAT MORN.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY...LONG RANGE MODELS ARE INDICATING ANOTHER
TROUGH DROPPING DOWN THE WEST COAST FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE NEXT
WORK WEEK...WITH A CLOSED LOW THEN TRACKING ACROSS AZ AND NM
THROUGH TUE. POSITION AND STRENGTH OF THE LOW ARE STILL
QUESTIONABLE...SO ONGOING ISOLATED POPS AND INCREASING CLOUD COVER
FROM THE SW LOOKS REASONABLE. MOORE

3 TO 5 INCHES THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING...WILL BE POSSIBLE AT
THOSE LOCATIONS.

STRONG GUSTY WINDS ARE ALSO EXPECTED TO DEVELOP FRIDAY EVENING AND

WEATHER CONDITIONS THAT MEET REPORTING CRITERIA FOR SPOTTERS WILL BE
POSSIBLE TODAY AND TONIGHT ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHERN COLORADO.
