AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
337 PM MST TUE JAN 8 2008

.SHORT TERM...
(TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY)

SATELLITE LOOP SHOWS NEXT STORM SYSTEM HEADED TOWARD COLORADO...WITH
RAIN AND SNOWFALL OCCURRING ALONG AND BEHIND MAIN BAROCLINIC ZONE ALONG
AND WEST OF THE SIERRAS...AND NOT SO MUCH WITH LARGE MASS OF
SUBTROPICAL HIGH/MID LEVEL MOISTURE ACROSS SOUTHERN CA...SOUTHERN
AZ...AND SOUTHWEST UT. BOTH THE NAM12 AND GFS40 BRING SNOWFALL
INTO THE COLORADO HIGH COUNTRY...MAINLY ALONG THE CONTINENTAL
DIVIDE AND WESTERN SLOPE AREAS LATER THIS EVENING...KICKING INTO
HIGH GEAR ALONG THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE BY WEDNESDAY MORNING.
AMOUNTS LOOK BORDERLINE FOR A WARNING VS ADVISORY...BUT GIVEN
LONGEVITY OF EVENT (12-18 HRS)...ADEQUATE OROGRAPHICS...AND GOOD
INSTABILITY...THINK IT SAFE TO GO WITH A WARNING ALONG THE HIGH
CONTINENTAL DIVIDE AREAS...WITH 6-12 INCHES OF NEW SNOW EXPECTED
BY LATE WEDNESDAY EVENING...IN COMBINATION WITH GUSTY SOUTHWEST
WINDS PRODUCING BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW. BELIEVE THAT THE
CENTRAL MOUNTAIN RANGES (EASTERN SAWATCH AND TO A LESSER EXTENT
THE MOSQUITO RANGE WILL HAVE THE HIGHEST ACCUMULATIONS) WHILE THE
LA GARITAS AND SAN JUANS WILL TEND TO BE MORE SHELTERED WITH THIS
EVENT.

ELSEWHERE...SOME SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS TO DEAL WITH AND SOME WIND
WHICH WILL LIKELY RESULT IN SOME BRIEF AND LOCALIZED AREAS OF SNOW
AND BLOWING SNOW.  THIS THREAT WILL SPREAD FROM THE MOUNTAINS TONIGHT
ONTO THE PLAINS BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.  BUT...LACK OF UPSLOPE AND
SUSTAINED DYNAMICS SHOULD KEEP ANY ACCUMULATIONS SPOTTY AND LIGHT.
WINDS COULD GUST OVER 50 MPH AT TIMES IN THE MOUNTAINS LATE TONIGHT
AND WEDNESDAY...WITH GUSTS OVER 40 MPH POSSIBLE ACROSS THE LOWER
ELEVATIONS.  AREAS WEST OF I-25 TO THE MOUNTAINS WILL LIKELY SEE
SOME OF THE STRONGER GUSTS.

AS FOR TEMPERATURES...MILDER TONIGHT DUE TO INCOMING CLOUDS/WINDS
WITH ASSOCIATED WITH INCOMING SYSTEM...ESPECIALLY IN AND NEAR THE
MOUNTAINS.  HOWEVER...SNOW COVERED AREAS...ESPECIALLY FROST POCKETS
LIKE PUEBLO AND ALAMOSA...WILL LIKELY TURN THEIR CHEEK TO THE
WARMING THAT IS GOING ON ABOVE.  MILDER ON THE PLAINS EARLY TOMORROW
BEFORE COOLER AIR ARRIVES IN THE AFTERNOON.  MOUNTAIN TEMPERATURES
WILL BE COLD DUE TO CLOUDS/PRECIPITATION.  LW

.LONG TERM...
(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)

UPPER TROF MOVES ACROSS THE STATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT. MAIN UPPER FORCING
QUICKLY SHIFTS EASTWARD INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS DURING THE EVENING...THOUGH
WITH STEEP LAPSE RATES AND STRONG NORTHWESTERLY OROGRAPHIC
FLOW...CENTRAL MOUNTAINS WILL CONTINUE TO SEE SOME HEAVY SNOW AND
BLOWING SNOW ISSUES THROUGH THE EVENING. WILL LET THE HIGHLIGHTS
CONTINUE THROUGH 06Z. ACROSS THE PLAINS COULD SEE SOME SNOW
SHOWERS DEVELOP ALONG/BEHIND THE NEXT NORTHERLY SURGE FRIDAY
EVENING...AIDED BY SOME HEALTHY INSTABILITY. HAVE BUMPED UP POPS
ACROSS THE EASTERN TWO THIRDS OF THE PLAINS FOR THE 00Z-06Z TIME FRAME.
BY THURSDAY...THE STORM WILL BE WELL EAST OF THE AREA...THOUGH
UNDER CONTINUED NORTHWESTERLY FLOW...THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS WILL
CONTINUE TO SEE SOME LIGHT OROGRAPHIC SNOW SHOWERS.

FLOW ALOFT STRENGTHENS ON THURS AS 120+KT UPPER JET MOVES
ACROSS. SFC LEE TROF DEEPENS IN RESPONSE...THOUGH APPEARS THERE
WILL BE TOO MUCH FORWARD SHEAR FOR MOUNTAIN WAVE DEVELOPMENT.
THIS IMPROVES SOMEWHAT THURS NIGHT AROUND 06Z AS FLOW BECOMES MORE
WESTERLY AND NAM12 INDICATES SOME REVERSE SHEAR ABOVE THE MOUNTAIN
BARRIER. NORTHWESTERLY WIND COMPONENT WOULD FAVOR THE RAMPART
RANGE FOR ANY POTENTIAL HIGH WINDS. FOR NOW...SIGNATURE IN MODEL
CROSS-SECTIONS DOESNT LOOK AS GOOD AS LAST WEEKENDS HIGH WIND
EVENT...SO THINK IT MAY FALL SHORT OF NEEDING ANY HIGHLIGHTS. BUT
THIS POTENTIAL WILL CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED.

GFS IS NOW WEAKER WITH THE NEXT TROF WHICH MOVES THROUGH
FRIDAY/FRIDAY NIGHT...HOWEVER CONCEPTUALLY THIS SYSTEM WILL LIKELY
BRING SOME MORE ACCUMULATING SNOWS TO THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS...ALONG
WITH ANOTHER COLD SURGE TO THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS.  THE WEEKEND
THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK STILL LOOKS COLD AND UNSETTLED UNDER
NORTHERLY FLOW ALOFT. PERIODIC SHORTWAVES DROPPING DOWN FROM THE
NORTH WILL BRING REINFORCING SURGES OF COLD AIR AND SLIGHT
CHANCES FOR SHOW SHOWERS TO SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST
COLORADO. AT LEAST FOR NOW....ACCUMULATIONS DONT LOOK ALL THAT
SUBSTANTIAL. HAVE KEPT TEMPS IN GRIDS BELOW GUIDANCE VALUES. -KT

.AVIATION...

GUSTS TO 40 MPH POSSIBLE AT KCOS AND KPUB WEDNESDAY ASSOCIATED WITH
BORA COOLING TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA.  ALSO...LOCAL IFR CIGS AND
