AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DENVER CO
300 PM MDT TUE APR 15 2008

.SHORT TERM...THERE IS GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT IN SYSTEM EVOLUTION WITH
FIRST A COLD FRONT DROPPING ACROSS NORTHEAST COLORADO TONIGHT.  THE
UPPER TROUGH WILL SHEAR AND ONE PIECE WILL LIFT TO NORTH DAKOTA...
WITH DEEPENING AT BOTTOM OF TROUGH.  THIS LOOKS REASONABLE WITH 100
KNOT JET ON BACK SIDE OF TROUGH.  AS A RESULT OF SYSTEM DEEPENING
THE UPPER TROUGH WILL SLOW DOWN...AND A SURFACE LOW WILL INTENSIFY
IN NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO WEDNESDAY DUE TO THE DEEPENING UPPER
TROUGH.  THIS WILL HELP DRAW MORE COLD AIR DOWN THROUGH THE DAY AND
DEEPEN THE UPSLOPE.  MOISTURE WILL ARRIVE LATE TONIGHT...WITH SNOW
SPREADING TO THE HIGH COUNTRY...INCREASING DURING THE DAY
WEDNESDAY.  THE SNOW WILL SPREAD TO THE EAST SLOPES AND URBAN
CORRIDOR MIDDAY WEDNESDAY...MIXED WITH RAIN BELOW 7000 FEET. BY RUSH
HOUR MOST OF NORTHEAST COLORADO HAS A CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION
...WITH SNOW LIKELY IN AND NEAR THE SOUTHERN FRONT RANGE FOOTHILLS
AND URBAN CORRIDOR.

.LONG TERM...LATEST RUNS INCLUDING THE NAM...GFS...ECMWF...AND
CANADIAN ARE ALL POINTING TOWARD A MORE SIGNIFICANT WEATHER EVENT
FOR PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA.  THEY HAVE TRENDED TOWARD A MORE
COMPACT AND SLIGHTLY SLOWER SOLUTION WITH THE UPPER TROUGH...EVEN
CLOSING IT OFF SLIGHTLY AT 500 MB NEAR THE FOUR CORNERS AREA.  THIS
RESULTS IN BETTER MORE PERSISTENT UPSLOPE FOR AT LEAST THE SOUTHERN
FRONT RANGE FOOTHILLS AND PALMER DIVIDE AREA.  TEMPERATURES WILL
ALSO BE COLD ENOUGH BY TOMORROW EVENING TO SUPPORT MOSTLY SNOW...
EXCEPT FOR THE FAR EASTERN PLAINS WHICH COULD SEE A RAIN/SNOW MIX
EARLY ON.  UNSTABLE LAPSE RATES ARE ALSO IN PLACE THROUGH MUCH OF
THE NIGHT SO SNOW MAY BE HEAVY AT TIMES ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTHERN
FRONT RANGE FOOTHILLS AND PALMER DIVIDE WHERE LOW LEVEL FORCING IS
GREATEST.  UPPER LEVEL LIFT IN THE FORM OF Q-G VERTICAL MOTION IS
SOMEWHAT LIMITED AND THE BEST REMAINS OVER SOUTHEASTERN
COLORADO...SO THAT COULD BE A LIMITING FACTOR REGARDING SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS.  IN ANY CASE...ENOUGH THINGS FAVORING A SHORT-LIVED
HEAVY SNOW EVENT TO ISSUE A WINTER STORM WATCH IN THE SOUTHERN FRONT
RANGE FOOTHILLS AND PALMER DIVIDE.  WILL ALSO MENTION SNOW LIKELY IN
BOULDER/DENVER METRO AREA TOWARD LIMON BUT KEEP ACCUMULATIONS MAINLY
IN THE 1-4 INCH RANGE...HEAVIEST OF COURSE IN THE SOUTHERN AND
WESTERN SUBURBS.  ACCUMULATIONS FROM BOULDER AND LAFAYETTE NORTHWARD
THROUGH FORT COLLINS COULD BE LIMITED AS WELL BY SHALLOW N/NW
SURFACE FLOW.

BY THURSDAY MORNING...MOST SNOW SHOULD BE OVER ALTHOUGH WILL HAVE TO
KEEP AT LEAST A CHANCE OF SNOW IN THE SOUTHERN FOOTHILLS-PALMER
DIVIDE THANKS TO NORTHERLY FLOW.  THEN DRYING BY AFTERNOON WITH
PERHAPS ISOLATED CONVECTION OVER MOUNTAINS.

DRY AND WARMER WEATHER WILL PREVAIL FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...WITH SOME
SLIGHT COOLING ADVERTISED FOR LATE IN THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK.  WILL ALSO KEEP A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS IN THE MOUNTAINS
THANKS TO COLD ADVECTION AND STRONGER FLOW AHEAD OF THE WESTERN U.S.
TROUGH.

&&

.AVIATION....DRY STABLE BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL INTO THIS
EVENING.  A COLD FRONT WILL DROP ACROSS THE AIRPORTS LATE TONIGHT
WITH NORTHEAST WINDS PREVAILING FOR MUCH OF TUESDAY.  THE AIRMASS
WILL MOISTEN UP DURING THE DAY...WITH UPSLOPE CONDITIONS AND IFR
CONDITIONS AT DENVER AREA AIRPORTS AFTER 22Z WEDNESDAY.

&&

.BOU WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...RED FLAG WARNING FOR THE PLAINS
      UNTIL 700 PM MDT...FIRE WEATHER ZONES 238 THROUGH 251.
   WINTER STORM WATCH SOUTHERN FRONT RANGE FOOTHILLS AND PALMER
      DIVIDE LATE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT...
      ZONES 36 AND 41.
