AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DENVER CO
343 AM MST THU FEB 12 2009

.SHORT TERM...AN UPPER LEVEL LOW CURRENTLY MOVING SOUTHEAST ACROSS
CALIFORNIA WILL INCREASE ITS SPEED AND TURN EAST AS IT INTERACTS
WITH A JET OVER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND ARIZONA. THIS WILL KICK THE
LOW EAST ACROSS THE GREAT BASIN AND CENTRAL ROCKIES. MODELS ARE IN
GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THIS SYSTEM SWEEPING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
TONIGHT BRINGING SNOW TO THE MOUNTAINS AND PLAINS. THE NAM...GFS AND
ECMWF HAVE A SLIGHTLY MORE SOUTHERN TRACK THAN THE SREF AND UKMET
ARE SHOWING. THE DIFFERENCE IS ABOUT 50 MILES...NOT HUGE BUT BIG
ENOUGH TO WHERE SOME COUNTIES IN THE WATCH COULD GET LITTLE SNOW
WITH THE NORTHERN TRACK OR HEAVY SNOW WITH THE SOUTHERN TRACK. WILL
LEAVE THE WATCH AS IS AND SEE IF THE 12Z MODELS MATCH UP BETTER. IF
THE SOUTHERN TRACK IS CORRECT THEN IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE THE RIGHT
COUNTIES HIGHLIGHTED.

SNOW WILL START TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AND BECOME WIDESPREAD THIS
EVENING. ALL MODELS SHOWING QG GOOD LIFT WITH THIS AS IT PASSES OVER
THE STATE. THIS SHOULD LEAD TO 3 TO 6 INCHES OF SNOW IN THE
MOUNTAINS...JUST BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA. OROGRAPHIC LIFT IS POOR
WITH THIS SYSTEM. SO ONCE THE LIFT FROM THE MAIN TROUGH EXITS THE
MOUNTAINS...SNOW WILL DIMINISH AND BECOME LIGHT.

FOR THE PLAINS...SNOW IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN THIS EVENING OVER THE
NORTHERN FOOTHILLS AND LARIMER COUNTY. AN EAST TO SOUTHEAST LOW
LEVEL FLOW WILL HELP ENHANCE THE SNOW IN THIS AREA THIS EVENING.
THEN AN INVERTED TROUGH EXTENDING FROM A SURFACE LOW MOVING ACROSS
NEW MEXICO INTO KANSAS WILL MOVE OVER THE EASTERN PLAINS. THIS
SURFACE TROUGH LOOKS TO INHIBIT THE SNOW AMOUNTS ALONG THE FRONT
RANGE AS IT PRODUCES SOME DOWNSLOPE MOTION. STILL THINK THERE WILL
BE A BRIEF PERIOD OF SNOW IN THE DENVER METRO AREA FROM THE STRONG
LIFT WITH THE MAIN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH. THE HEAVIEST SNOW STILL LOOKS
TO BE OVER THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE STATE LATE TONIGHT AND
FRIDAY.

.LONG TERM...FOR FRI MAIN ISSUE WILL BE THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
MOVING ACROSS THE AREA.  NAM AND GFS PRETTY MUCH AGREE ON TRACK AND
SPEED HOWEVER THE BIGGER QUESTION IS THE LOW LEVEL FLOW PTRN EAST OF
THE MTNS AND WHERE THE HEAVIEST SNOWS WILL OCCUR.  NAM HAS UPSLOPE
FLOW EXTENDING BACK INTO NRN AREAS OF THE URBAN CORRIDOR FROM DENVER
NORTH TO THE WYOMING BORDER WHILE THE GFS SHOWS MORE OF A DOWNSLOPE
COMPONENT.  AT THIS TIME WILL FAVOR THE NAM AND HAVE HIGHER POPS
ALONG THE URBAN CORRIDOR FROM JUST NORTH OF DENVER TO FORT COLLINS
AND GREELEY EXTENDING EASTWARD OVER THE PLAINS.  BOTH NAM AND GFS
SHOW FAVORABLE QG ASCENT AND QG VERTICAL VELOCITIES THRU 18Z OVER
THE NERN PLAINS WHICH WILL THEN GRADUALLY DECREASE DURING THE AFTN
HOURS.  AT THIS TIME IT LOOKS LIKE BEST CHC OF WARNING CRITERIA SNOW
WILL BE ENE OF A LINE FROM GREELEY TO LIMON WHICH IS WHERE CURRENT
WATCH IS IN PLACE.  BOTH NAM AND GFS SHOWS AMOUNTS OF 6-8 INCHES IN
THE WATCH AREA BY 18Z FRI WHILE FURTHER WEST AMOUNTS ARE GENERALLY
IN THE 1 TO 3 INCH FROM JUST NORTH OF DENVER TO FORT COLLINS.
MEANWHILE PORTIONS OF ZONE 43 AND 45 MAY NEED AN ADVISORY AS AMOUNTS
COULD APPROACH THE 4 INCH RANGE.  IN THE MTNS EXPECT SOME SNOW DUE
TO FAVORABLE QG ASCENT IN THE MORNING AND DECENT LAPSE RATES BUT IT
SHOULD DIMINISH BY MIDDAY AS QG DESCENT OCCURS AND OROGRAPHICS
BECOME UNFAVORABLE.

BY SAT ANOTHER SYSTEM IS FCST TO QUICKLY MOVE ACROSS THE AREA WITH
ABUNDANT MOISTURE SHOWN IN THE CROSS-SECTIONS.  ALTHOUGH THE 700 MB
FLOW IS FCST TO BE SWLY DECENT LAPSE RATES AND FAVORABLE QG ASCENT
SHOULD PRODUCE SNOW IN THE MTNS ESPECIALLY IN ZONES 31 AND 34 NORTH
OF I-70 WHICH CAN DO OKAY WITH SWLY OROGRAPHIC COMPONENT.  OVER NERN
CO THINGS ARENT QUITE AS CLEAR AS SFC PTRN HAS SELY LOW LVL FLOW
DEVELOPING WHICH MAY KEEP BEST CHC OF PCPN OVER THE PLAINS WITH LESS
OF A CHC CLOSER TO THE FOOTHILLS.  HOWEVER WITH QG ASCENT AND DECENT
LAPSE RATES THIS COULD OFFSET SELY LOW LEVEL FLOW IF PCPN BECOMES
MORE CONVECTIVE IN NATURE.  ALSO WITH THE MAIN UPPER LEVEL JET JUST
TO THE SOUTH OF THE AREA COULD SEE POTENTIAL PSI WITH BANDED PCPN
STRUCTURE AS WELL SO ALL IN ALL IT COULD END BEING A TRICKY FCST.
AS FAR AS TEMPS 850-700 MB READINGS ARE FCST TO RISE A FM 3-4
DEGREES C HOWEVER ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER MAY KEEP HIGHS NOT TOO MUCH
DIFFERENT FM FRIDAYS LEVELS.  ALSO EXPECTED SNOW COVER COULD KEEP
TEMPS BLO GUIDANCE VALUES OVER THE PLAINS AS WELL AS LOW LEVEL
INVERSIONS REMAIN IN PLACE ESPECIALLY ALONG THE PLATTE RIVER
VALLEY.

FOR SUN BOTH ECMWF AND GFS SHOW AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDING OVER
THE AREA WITH A DRYNG TREND.  850-700 MB TEMPS ARE FCST TO RISE
ANOTHER 3 DEGREES OR SO SHOULD SEE A SLIGHT INCREASE IN AFTN HIGHS
ALTHOUGH LINGERING SNOW COVER COULD ONCE AGAIN KEEP HIGHS BLO
GUIDANCE ALONG THE PLATTE RIVER VALLEY AS LOW LVL INVERSIONS MAY NOT
BREAK.  BY MON THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL REMAIN OVER THE AREA WITH
INCREASING SW FLOW ALOFT.  MOISTURE WILL INCREASE IN THE MTNS ON MON
SO MAY SEE A SOME SCT -SHSN BY AFTN INTO MON NIGHT.  OVER NERN CO IT
SHOULD BE DRY WITH WARMER TEMPS AS 850-700 MB READINGS RISE ANOTHER
3 DEGREES OR SO.

BY TUE THE LATEST GFS SHOWS ANOTHER SYSTEM MOVING QUICKLY ACROSS THE
AREA WHICH MAY INCREASE THE CHC OF SNOW IN THE MTNS.  OVER NERN CO
THE CHC FOR PCPN WILL DEPEND ON THE SFC PTRN.  RIGHT NO THE GFS
SHOWS DOWNSLOPE FLOW NR THE FOOTHILLS WITH BEST CHC OF PCPN OVER THE
NERN PLAINS.  HOWEVER THIS FAR IN ADVANCE A LOT OF THINGS COULD
CHANGE BETWEEN NOW AND THEN.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH AT LEAST 00Z. AN
UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS COLORADO TONIGHT AND BRING
SNOW TO NORTHERN COLORADO. THE BEST CHANCE FOR SNOW WILL BE AFTER
05Z. LOW CLOUDS WILL LIKELY AFFECT THE AIRPORT AFTER 06Z WITH
CEILINGS OF 1000 TO 3000 FEET. SOUTHERLY WINDS THIS MORNING WILL
SHIFT SOUTHEASTERLY WITH GUSTS TO AROUND 20 KNOTS AFTER 18Z.
