AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
415 AM MDT FRI APR 11 2008

.SHORT TERM...
(TODAY AND TONIGHT)

CURRENTLY..SOME LIGHT SNOW AT KLXV AND ACROSS THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS
AS OF 09Z...REMAINDER OF THE AREA STILL MOSTLY CLOUDY BUT PRECIP
FREE. WINDS HAVE DECOUPLED OVER THE PLAINS...THOUGH AREAS JUST NORTH
AND EAST OF THE CWA CONTINUE TO GUST OVER 30 KNOTS. DOESNT FEEL
MUCH LIKE SPRING TEMPERATURE WISE IN THE MOUNTAINS...WITH 10F AT
MONARCH PASS AND 12F AT WOLF CREEK AWOS.

TODAY...MASSIVE UPPER LOW OVER THE CENTRAL U.S...WITH SECONDARY
UPPER JET DIGGING SOUTH ACROSS THE ROCKIES TODAY. WEAK UPPER WAVE
EMBEDDED IN THE JET DROPS SOUTH ACROSS WESTERN COLORADO
TODAY...WHICH ALLOWS SURFACE THROUGH 700 MB WINDS TO TURN N-NE ALONG
THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS AND I-25 CORRIDOR. THIS UPSLOPE...COMBINED
WITH DECENT INSTABILITY THIS AFTERNOON...SHOULD PROVIDE ENOUGH LIFT
FOR SNOW TO BREAK OUT OVER MOST OF THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS BY
MIDDAY...CONTINUING INTO THIS EVENING. MODEL QPFS SUGGEST ADVISORY
LEVEL SNOW OVER THE SOUTHERN SANGRES/WETS...THOUGH SUSPECT THIS MAY
BE A LITTLE OVERDONE...GIVEN MODELS TEND TO OVERESTIMATE SNOWFALL
ONCE CONVECTIVE PARAMETERS TURN ON. WILL GO WITH ACCUMS JUST UNDER
ADVISORY CRITERIA AT THIS POINT...THOUGH DAY SHIFT WILL HAVE TO PAY
CLOSE ATTENTION TO RADAR TRENDS THROUGH THE DAY. INHERITED
SNOW/BLOWING SNOW ADVISORY FOR THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS MAY BE OVERDONE
AS BEST FORCING/INSTABILITY SHIFT EAST...BUT SINCE LIGHT TO MODERATE
SNOW WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...WHILE LET THE ADVISORY
RIDE FOR NOW. RECONFIGURED THE MENTION OF THUNDER...LIMITING IT TO
JUST THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS WHERE RIBBON OF INSTABILITY IS PRESENT.
COOL MAX TEMPS AREAWIDE...GUIDANCE NUMBER LOOK OK.

TONIGHT...MODELS KEEP SNOW SHOWERS OVER THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS
THROUGH 06Z...THOUGH PRECIP SHOULD BEGIN TO FADE AFTER SUNSET AS
HEATING ENDS. COULD STILL SEE SOME LIGHT SNOW PERSISTING OVER
FAVORED UPSLOPE AREAS OF THE SOUTHERN SANGRES AFTER MIDNIGHT...AND
ADDED SOME LOW POPS THESE AREA IN THE 06Z-12Z TIME PERIOD. SOME
PARTIAL CLEARING BY EARLY SATURDAY MORNING WILL LEAD TO COLD
MINS...WITH SINGLE DIGITS AND TEENS MOUNTAINS...20S LOWER
ELEVATIONS.

.LONG TERM...
(SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)

MAIN FCST CHALLENGE WILL BE RESIDUAL LOW GRADE POPS FOR
SATURDAY...THEN DEGREE OF WARM UP FOR SUNDAY THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF
NEXT WEEK.

SHORT RANGE MODELS STILL DEPICT NORTHERLY FLOW OVER THE AREA FOR
SATURDAY WHICH SHOULD HELP KEEP TEMPS ON THE COOL SIDE.  WITH LOWER
HEIGHTS DEPICTED BY THE NAM...THE MET GUIDANCE NUMBERS ARE THE
COOLEST...WHILE THE MAV IS SLIGHTLY WARMER.  GIVEN SOME BREEZY
NORTHERLY WINDS...EXPECT SOME MIXING WILL HELP BOOST TEMPS SOME AND
HAVE GONE CLOSER TO WARMER MAV GUIDANCE.  BOTH MODELS ALSO INDICATE
SOME WEAK SHORTWAVE ENERGY DROPPING SOUTH THROUGH EASTERN CO/WRN KS
DURING THE AFTN.  MODEL SOUNDINGS MOISTEN IN A 50-100MB LAYER RIGHT
AROUND 650 MB.  LAPSE RATES ARE FAIRLY STEEP IN THIS SHALLOW LAYER
AS WELL...INDICATING A POTENTIAL FOR SOME CONVECTIVE HIGH BASED
SHOWERS TO DEVELOP DURING THE AFTN.  BEST CHANCE FOR SOME ISOLATED
SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE ALONG THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE
SAWATCH/MOSQUITO RANGES.  GIVEN DRY LOW LAYERS...THINK EASTERN
PLAINS MAY JUST SEE SOME VIRGA OUT OF A MODERATE CU LAYER...THUS
HAVE KEPT POPS OUT OF THE EASTERN PLAINS.  HOWEVER...IF LATER RUNS
CONTINUE TO MOISTEN THROUGH A DEEPER LAYER...THEN SOME ISOLATED POPS
MAY BE NEEDED ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE PLAINS...GENERALLY EAST OF A
LINE FROM ROUGHLY KCOS TO KSPD.

UPPER RIDGE GRADUALLY MOVES IN FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY...BRINGING DRY
SUNNY WEATHER WITH TEMPS WARMING THROUGH THE PERIOD.  BY TUES...H7
TEMPS IN BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF WARM TO BETWEEN +5 TO +10C
SUGGESTING TEMPS IN THE MID 70S TO LOWER 80S ACROSS THE
PLAINS...WITH 60S TO LOWER 70S FOR THE VALLEYS...AND MID 40S TO MID
50S FOR THE MOUNTAINS.  GFS/ECMWF ARE NOW STRONGER WITH THE NEXT TROF WHICH
MOVES INTO THE GREAT BASIN BY WED...BRINGING BACK THE POTENTIAL FOR
SHOWERS IN THE WEST...AND BREEZY AND UNSEASONABLY WARM CONDITIONS
ACROSS THE EAST.  BOTH GFS/ECMWF MOVES THIS TROF ACROSS THE AREA FOR
WED NIGHT/THURS WITH SURPRISING AGREEMENT IN TRACK...THOUGH GFS IS A
LITTLE DEEPER WITH THE SYSTEM.  WITH TRACK RIGHT ACROSS CO...APPEARS
THIS SYSTEM IS NOT LIKELY TO BE MUCH OF A PRECIPITATION MAKER FOR
THE SE...THOUGH WILL SEND A COLD FRONT THROUGH EASTERN CO ON THURS
RESULTING IN COOLER TEMPERATURES FOR THURS. -KT

&&

.AVIATION...
SCATTERED ALTO-CUMULUS SHOULD BECOME BROKEN BY MID-MORNING OVER ALL
THE AREA...WITH CIGS LOWERING DURING THE AFTERNOON. THERE IS A
THREAT OF ISOLATED RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS AT ALL THREE TAF SITES IN THE
18Z-03Z TIME FRAME...THOUGH HEAVIER PRECIPITATION WILL LIKELY REMAIN
OVER THE MOUNTAINS. COULD SEE SOME BRIEF MVFR AT KCOS IN THE 19Z-23Z
TIME FRAME AS SHOWERS MOVE EAST OF THE MOUNTAINS...THOUGH CHANCES
LOOK TOO LOW TO INCLUDE IN THE TAF AT THIS POINT...SO WILL LET VCSH
COVER THINGS FOR NOW.

&&

.PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW ADVISORY UNTIL 6 PM MDT THIS AFTERNOON FOR
