AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
335 PM MST SUN FEB 3 2008

.SHORT TERM...
(TONIGHT AND MONDAY)

...HEAVY SNOW TO CONTINUE IN SOUTHWEST AND CENTRAL MOUNTAINS
TONIGHT INTO EARLY MONDAY...
...FOCUS FOR HEAVY SNOW SHIFTING TO THE SOUTHEAST MOUNTAINS AND
ADJACENT PLAINS MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT...

VERY HEAVY SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO POUND THE SOUTHWEST MOUNTAINS
TONIGHT...WITH MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW CONTINUING ACROSS THE CENTRAL
MOUNTAINS.  VERY IMPRESSIVE POLAR JET STREAM TAKING AIM AT SOUTHWEST
COLORADO AT THIS HOUR.  NOSE OF 100-150 KNOT JET STREAM IS JUST NOW
APPROACHING THE 4 CORNERS.  PROGS HAVE THIS JET SCOOTING BY JUST TO
THE SOUTH OF COLORADO TONIGHT...WHICH PUTS THE SOUTHWEST MOUNTAINS
IN PRIME POSITION FOR HEAVY SNOW.  RECENT SURFACE OBSERVATIONS AND
AVAILABLE RADAR DATA HAVE SNOWFALL INTENSITIES PICKING UP AT THE
BASE OF THE SAN JUANS AT THE PRESENT TIME...WITH DURANGO COLORADO
REPORTING 1/4SM IN HEAVY SNOW AT 2PM MST.  DURANGO ALSO REPORTS
.07 INCHES LIQUID IN THE LAST HOUR ALONE AND .17 INCHES IN THE LAST
6 HOURS.  NOT TOO BAD FOR A LOW ELEVATION SITE.  CAN ONLY IMAGINE
WHAT THIS TRANSLATES TO AT WOLF CREEK PASS.  WEB CAM AT WOLF CREEK
PASS INDICATES HEAVY BLOWING SNOW WITH VISIBILITIES NEAR ZERO. STALE
REPORT FROM WOLF CREEK PASS THIS MORNING INDICATES 26 INCHES OF
NEW SNOW IN THE PAST 24 HOURS ENDING AT 830AM. MONARCH SKI REPORT
AT 1230 PM INDICATES 9 INCHES NEW IN THE PAST 24 HOURS. RESORT WEB
CAM INDICATES LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOWFALL CONTINUING. COMBINATION
OF STRONG UPPER JET SCOOTING BY JUST TO THE SOUTH AND STEEP LAPSE
RATES IN THE CLOUD LAYER (7-7.5C/KM) SHOULD KEEP THE SNOW GUN
FIRING THROUGH THE NIGHT...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE RIM OF THE SAN
JUAN MOUNTAINS. PROBABLY STILL LOOKING AT 1-3 FEET OF ADDITIONAL
SNOW ACROSS THE SAN JUANS BY MONDAY EVENING...WITH ANOTHER 10-20
INCHES ACROSS THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS.
THESE INTENSE SNOWFALL RATES SHOULD DIE DOWN IN THESE AREAS BY
MONDAY EVENING...SO EXPIRATION OF WARNING AT 6 PM MONDAY STILL
LOOKS GOOD. IN FACT...MAY BE ABLE TO DROP BY MIDDAY MONDAY AS
OROGRAPHICS REALLY BEGIN TO FADE.

FOCUS FOR HEAVY SNOW WILL SHIFT THE SOUTHEAST MOUNTAINS AND ADJACENT
PLAINS MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT.  THERE IS BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE
GFS40 AND NAM12 ON HOW MUCH SNOW TO EXPECT ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST
MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT AND ON WHERE IT WILL FALL.  THE GFS40 BEING
MUCH WETTER AND CLOSER TO THE MOUNTAINS...WITH THE NAM12 GENERALLY
DRIER AND FARTHER EAST.  I FAVOR THE GFS40 IN THIS CASE DUE TO ITS
BETTER HANDLING OF RECENT STORMS ON THE PLAINS.  PLUS...THE 18Z
NAM12 IS NOW SHOWING SIGNS OF MOVING TOWARD THE CONSISTENT GFS40
SOLUTION OF THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS. THE 18Z NAM12 RUN IS MUCH
WETTER ACROSS THE PLAINS THAN PREVIOUS RUNS...AND ALSO A LITTLE
FARTHER WEST THAN PREVIOUS RUNS. RECENT SYSTEMS HAVE BEEN VERY
UNSTABLE ON THE PLAINS WHICH HAVE ALLOWED JET INDUCED SNOW BANDS
TO BLOSSOM IN THE UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE. THIS SYSTEM LOOKS TO BE NO
DIFFERENT. THE GFS40 SEEMS TO BE HANDLING THIS IDEA BEST...SHOWING
MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES OF 8-9 C/KM ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS AT
12Z MONDAY...JUST PRIOR TO THE SURFACE FRONT MOVING THROUGH. AFTER
THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH...LAPSE RATES COME DOWN A BIT BUT THEY ARE
STILL AROUND 7.5C/KM ALONG AND NEAR THE MOUNTAINS DURING THE
AFTERNOON. SO...THE COMBINATION OF UPSLOPE NORTHEAST WINDS...AN
UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE...AND A STRONG UPPER LEVEL JET TO THE
SOUTHEAST SHOULD ALLOW SNOW TO DEVELOP OVER THE SOUTHEAST
MOUNTAINS AND ADJACENT PLAINS FROM LATE TOMORROW MORNING THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON. SNOWFALL SHOULD BE HEAVY OVER THE SOUTHEAST
MOUNTAINS DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING...SO A HEAVY SNOW
WARNING WILL GO INTO EFFECT AT NOON TOMORROW FOR THESE AREAS AND
CONTINUE THROUGH TOMORROW NIGHT. THE ADJACENT PLAINS SHOULD ALSO
SEE SOME ACCUMULATION. RIGHT NOW...LOOKS LIKE ABOUT 2-4 ALONG AND
WEST OF THE I-25 CORRIDOR...AND A TRACE TO 2 INCHES FARTHER EAST.

FORGOT TO MENTION THE SNOWFALL POTENTIAL IN THE HIGH MOUNTAIN
VALLEYS. RIGHT NOW...LOOKS LIKE TOTAL ACCUMULATIONS IN THE SAN
LUIS AND UPPER ARKANSAS VALLEYS COULD BE IN THE 2-5 RANGE BY
TUESDAY MORNING AS A GENERALIZATION. HOWEVER...COULD DEFINITELY BE
HIGHER AMOUNTS IN THE COMMUNITIES NEAR THE MOUNTAINS. THE WET
MOUNTAIN VALLEY IS A LITTLE HIGHER AND WILL LIKELY SEE ACCUMULATIONS
IN THE 4-8 INCH RANGE BY TUESDAY MORNING. ONCE AGAIN...THIS IS A
GENERALIZATION. LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS ARE CERTAINLY POSSIBLE.
WALROD

.LONG TERM...
(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)

...FAIRLY ACTIVE THROUGH MIDWEEK...THEN POSSIBLY WARMER BY THE
WEEKEND...

MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY...THE UPPER TROUGH SWEEPS ACROSS THE ROCKY
MT REGION MONDAY NIGHT...WITH THE TROUGH AXIS EXITING EAST OUT OF
COLORADO TUE MORNING. AS THE TROUGH MOVES EAST...FLOW ALOFT SHIFTS
TO THE NW AND AND FAVORABLE CONDITIONS FOR SIG SNOW ALONG THE
CONTDVD START SHUTTING OFF. HOWEVER...THE COLD FRONT COMBINED WITH
NE SFC WINDS FOR THE E PLAINS POINTS TO THE POSSIBILITY OF
SIGNIFICANT SNOW AMOUNTS FOR THE E SLOPES OF TELLER COUNTY...THE
WETS AND THE SANGRES. THE POTENTIAL REMAINS IN PLACE AT LEAST
THROUGH EARLY TUE MORN BEFORE WANING...SO AGREE WITH SHORT TERM
FORECASTER IN HOISTING HIGHLIGHTS FOR THESE AREAS. BUMPER UP POPS
AND SNOW AMOUNTS ACCORDINGLY. COLD BUT DRIER NW FLOW SETS IN ACROSS
THE STATE FOR THE REMAINDER OF TUE...SO PAINTED POP AND CLOUD COVER
GRIDS TO TRY AND CAPTURE THE QUICKLY CHANGING WX SCENARIO INTO TUE
EVE.

WEDNESDAY...THE FLOW ALOFT SWINGS AROUND TO THE SW ONCE AGAIN AS
ANOTHER FAST-MOVING DISTURBANCE CROSSES CO ON WED. THIS WILL PRODUCE
ISOLATED PCPN ACROSS THE MTS THRU THE DAY WED...WITH MORE SCATTERED
PCPN FOR THE CENTRAL MTS. ISOLATED PCPN IS POSSIBLE ALONG THE I25
CORRIDOR AS WELL WED. THIS DISTURBANCE EXITS WED NIGHT.

THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...THE FLOW ALOFT REMAINS W-NW THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY...KEEPING AN ISOLATED THREAT OF PCPN IN THE FORECAST FOR THE
CONTDVD. THIS WILL PROVIDE FOR A VERY GRADUAL WARMING PERIOD FOR THE
E PLAINS...WHICH THEN REALLY SHIFTS INTO GEAR ON SAT AND SUN AS A
RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE 4 CORNERS REGION. MOORE
