(TODAY AND TONIGHT)

MAIN SHORT TERM CONCERN IS TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE REGION.

CURRENT WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND RUC UPPER AIR ANALYSIS INDICATING
WEST TO SOUTHWEST FLOW ACROSS THE REGION AS UPPER LEVEL RIDGING
PERSISTS ACROSS THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY ALSO
INDICATING BROAD UPPER TROUGH MOVING ONSHORE ACROSS THE WEST COAST
ATTM. AT THE SFC...HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO BUILD ACROSS CENTRAL
HIGH PLAINS WITH WEAK LEE TROUGHING DEVELOPING ACROSS THE I-25
CORRIDOR ATTM.

TODAY...SOUTHWEST FLOW INCREASES ACROSS THE STATE AS BROAD UPPER
TROUGH ACROSS THE WEST COAST MOVES INTO THE GREAT BASIN REGION
OVERNIGHT. SW FLOW ALOFT TO KEEP LEE TROUGHING IN PLACE ACROSS THE
I-25 CORRIDOR TODAY...AND WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING ACROSS THE
CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS...WILL ALLOW FOR EAST TO SOUTHEAST LOW LEVEL
FLOW TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE SE PLAINS. WITH COOL UPSLOPE FLOW AND
BOUTS OF HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS MOVING ACROSS THE STATE...MODEL SOUNDINGS
INDICATING INVERSIONS BETWEEN H8 AND H7 HOLDING THROUGH THE DAY
ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS KEEPING HIGHS UP TO 15F COOLER THAN
YESTERDAY IN PLACES.  OUT WEST...HEIGHTS LOWER AHEAD OF APPROACHING
SYSTEM...AND WITH INCREASING HIGH LEVEL MOISTURE...WILL SEE HIGHS
SLIGHTLY COOLER THAN YESTERDAY...WITH GUSTY SW WINDS OF 15 TO 30 MPH
ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN TODAY.

TONIGHT...SOUTHWEST FLOW CONTINUES TO INCREASE ACROSS THE REGION
WITH BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS PERSISTING ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN
KEEPING TEMPS UP OVERNIGHT. LEE TROUGHING ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS
PROGGED TO MOVE EAST OVERNIGHT...WITH DOWNSLOPE FLOW AND DEVELOPING
LOW LEVEL JET ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS TO KEEP OVERNIGHT LOWS RATHER
MILD ACROSS THE PLAINS AS WELL. -MW

.LONG TERM...

(FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)

...POTENTIAL FOR HI IMPACT WINTER EVENT INCREASING OVER THE SE
   COLORADO PLAINS FRI NITE/SAT...

...A WINTER STORM WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE FAR SE PLAINS...

MAIN CONCERN IS FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY. MODEL GUIDANCE FOR THE
LAST WEEK HAS SHOWN A MAJOR TROUGH WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION...AND
THERE HAS BEEN NO OVERALL CHANGE IN THIS GUIDANCE WITH THE 00Z AND
06Z RUNS. A DEEP TROUGH OFFSHORE THE WEST COAST THIS MORNING WILL
CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST AND IS FCST TO CUTOFF JUST SOUTH OF COLORADO
FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. THIS WILL BRING A THREAT OF WINDS AND
SNOW TO A GOOD PART OF THE REGION. BLIZZARD CONDITIONS WILL BE
POSSIBLE OVER THE FAR SE PLAINS.

DETAILS...COMPARISION BETWEEN OOZ RUNS INDICATED NAM WAS A BIT MORE
STRONGER WITH SYSTEM AS IT HAS IT COMING ACROSS THE AREA A
NEGATIVELY TILTED TROUGH BEFORE CUTTING OFF S OF CO. LATEST
NAM...06Z...NOW IS A BIT SLOWER AND FARTHER WEST. GFS AT 06Z ALSO
HINTING TOWARDS A NEG TILTED TROUGH BEFORE CUTTING OFF. ALL GUIDANCE
SHOWS STRONG 700 MB WINDS...>50 KNOTS ON SAT...OVER THE E PLAINS OF
CO ALONG WITH HEALTY QPF VALUES.

WITH SUCH A DYNAMIC SYSTEM...AND AFTER COORD WITH NWS BOU...DECIDED
TO ISSUE A WINTER STORM WATCH FOR THE FAR SE PLAINS. ALTHOUGH THIS
WATCH IS A BIT EARLY...WE BELIEVED IT WAS A GOOD IDEA DUE TO THE
ONGOING PROBLEMS ACROSS THE SE PLAINS...AND THIS WILL GIVE THE
RESIDENTS OUT THERE AN EXTRA DAY TO PREPARE FOR THIS STORM. ALTHOUGH
THE METEOROLOGY SUPPORTS A BLIZZARD...DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY OF THE
SITUATION...WE DECIDED TO GO WITH A WINTER STORM WATCH FOR NOW.
LATER SHIFT CAN UPGRADE THIS TO A BLIZZARD WATCH IF NEEDED.

AS FOR THE REST OF THE REGION...LOCALLY HEAVY SNOWS WILL AFFECT THE
SW MTNS STARTING FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND LASTING INTO FRI EVENING.
SNOWS WILL THEN INCREASE LATE FRI NITE INTO SAT OVER THE C MTNS AS
MIDLVL FLOW SHIFTS TO THE NW.

AS WITH INTENSE SYSTEMS SUCH AS THIS ONE...THE PALMER DIVIDE MAY GET
HIT PRETTY HARD. FOR NOW IT APPEARS THAT THE SYSTEM WILL BE MOVING
THROUGH RELATIVELY QUICKLY...SO THE SNOW MAY NOT LAST TOO LONG OVER
THIS REGION. HOWEVER...THIS AREA WILL HAVE TO BE WATCHED CLOSELY. I
DO ANTICIPATED HILITES OF SOME SORT FOR THIS REGION AS THE EVENT
GETS CLOSER TO THE AREA.

S EL PASO AND N PUEBLO COUNTY WILL SEE MORE WIND THAN ANYTHING
ELSE...TYPCICAL OF RAPIDLY INTENSIFYING SFC LOWS OVER SE CO.

IF THE GUIDANCE IS CORRECT...THE AREA WHICH MAY SEE THE HEAVIEST
SNOW WILL BE E LAS ANIMAS COUNTY (N SIDE OF RATON MESA) AS STONGEST
CONVERGENCE AND UPSLOPE WAS NOTED OVER THIS AREA.

700 MB FLOW NEVER GOES AROUND TO NE...SO WETS/SANGRES MAY NOT SEE
TOO MUCH SNOW FROM THIS SYSTEM.

LOOKING FARTHER OUT...LATEST 06Z GFS SHOWING MAINLY ZONAL WNW FLOW
OVER THE AREA INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH THE JET S OF US...SO THIS
SHOULD KEEP THE AREA ON THE COOL SIDE...WITH THE THREAT OF STEADY
SNOW OVER THE CONTDVD. FLOW IS FCST TO BUCKLE BY MID WEEK...WITH
ANOTHER CUTOFF POSSIBLE. /HODANISH
