.SHORT TERM...

(TONIGHT AND SATURDAY)

VERY DYNAMIC SYSTEM MOVING ACROSS NRN NM TONIGHT WHICH WOBBLES
SLIGHTLY NORTHWARD INTO SRN CO/NE NM BY FRIDAY EVENING.  MULTIPLE
HAZARDS TO DEAL WITH.  WILL FIRST ADDRESS SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
POTENTIAL FOR THIS EVENING.  DRY LINE HAS PUSHED EASTWARD ACROSS
EASTERN CO...FROM ROUGHLY A LINE FROM CALHAN TO JUST EAST OF KLHX TO
KSPD.  AS SFC PRESSURES CONTINUE TO FALL SOUTH OF KLHX...EASTERLY
WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE ALONG THE ARKANSAS RIVER WHICH
SHOULD ADVECT 40 DEW POINTS BACK WESTWARD.  RUC AND NAM BOTH
INDICATE CAPES AROUND 1000 J/KG COMBINED WITH DEEP LAYER SHEARS
RUNNING AROUND 50 KTS...WHICH COMBINED WITH LIFT WITH INCOMING
ENERGY ROTATING THROUGH NM SHOULD HELP TRIGGER WIDESPREAD
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE PLAINS...A FEW OF WHICH WILL BE SEVERE.
SPC ISSUED A WATCH FOR CROWLEY...KIOWA...OTERO...BENT...PROWERS
...AND BACA COUNTIES IN AREA OF BEST INSTABILITY.  LARGE HAIL 1 TO 2
INCHES IN DIAMETER...WIND GUSTS TO AROUND 60 MPH AND DANGEROUS
LIGHTNING WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREATS.  WHERE WINDS CAN TURN
EASTERLY...BENEATH STRONG VEERING WINDS ALOFT...HELICITIES COULD
BECOME LOCALLY MAXIMIZED FOR AN ISOLATED TORNADO. THE LIMITING
FACTOR MAY BE THE HIGH T/TD SPREADS...BUT AS EVENING
APPROACHES...THIS MAY BECOME MORE FAVORABLE.  THINK SEVERE THREAT
MAY LAST INTO THIS EVENING BEFORE STORMS BECOME MORE ELEVATED
OVERNIGHT.

AS FOR SNOW ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS AND HIGH VALLEYS AND I-25
CORRIDOR...NUMEROUS HIGHLIGHTS ARE IN EFFECT.  INITIALLY CONVECTION
WILL BE THE MAIN DRIVER FOR THE SNOW THIS EVENING...AND WITH
DIABATIC COOLING EXPECT SNOW LEVELS TO DRIVE DOWNWARD QUICKLY TO
AROUND 6KFT FOR CENTRAL AND NRN PORTIONS OF THE FCST AREA INCLUDING
THE PIKES PEAK REGION.  AS UPPER LOW MOVES EASTWARD ACROSS NRN
NM...WILL SEE A NICE BAND OF ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE SPREAD ACROSS NRN
AND CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE AREA. H7 WINDS SWING AROUND FROM THE
NORTHEAST AT 25 TO 35 KTS PROVIDING FAVORABLE UPSLOPE FOR THE
EASTERN MTNS.  THE ONLY CONCERN WILL BE THE WEDGES OF DRY AIR
ROTATING AROUND THE UPPER LOW.  NAM12 SHOWS SEVERAL OF THESE...AND
WHILE THE SNOW INTENSIFIES ALONG THE NE SLOPES OF THE SE MTS IN
FAVORED UPSLOPE REGIONS (ESP ACROSS NRN PORTIONS OF THE
AREA)...PRECIPITATION MAY WANE OFF ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE SE
PLAINS.  MEANWHILE...TROWAL WILL OVERSPREAD THE SAN LUIS VALLEY AND
SOUTHWEST MOUNTAINS...WHERE WE HAVE ISSUED A VARIETY OF WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORIES.  SNOW AMOUNTS WILL BE HIGHLY VARIABLE ACROSS THE
SAN LUIS VALLEY...RANGING FROM A FEW INCHES IN THE CENTER OF THE
VALLEY...TO LOCAL AREAS RECEIVING AROUND A FOOT...ESPECIALLY TO THE
WEST OF THE SANGRES SUCH AS CRESTONE.  FOR THE I-25 CORRIDOR...SNOW
LEVELS WILL DROP TO AROUND 5000 FEET AFTER 09Z TONIGHT.  COULD SEE
SOME HEAVY WET SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ALONG AND WEST OF I-25.  SNOW
AMOUNTS WILL BE HIGHLY VARIABLE FOR PUEBLO COUNTY...EL PASO COUNTY
AND EASTERN FREMONT COUNTY AS SNOW LEVELS RISE AGAIN DURING THE DAY
ON FRIDAY.  COULD SEE SNOW AMOUNTS RANGING FROM 1-4 INCHES ACROSS
SRN PORTIONS OF EL PASO AND CENTRAL AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF PUEBLO
COUNTY...WHILE LOCATIONS TO THE NORTH AND WEST OF COLORADO SPRINGS
AND NEAR THE WET MOUNTAINS IN PUEBLO AND EASTERN FREMONT COUNTY
COULD SEE LOCALLY UP TO 1 FOOT.  GUSTY NORTH WINDS MAY CAUSE SOME
BLOWING SNOW ISSUES OVER THE PALMER DIVIDE AREA TONIGHT AND EARLY
SATURDAY...THOUGH THIS MAY BE BRIEF...AND DUE TO THE HEAVY WET
NATURE TO THE SNOW...THINK THAT THE SNOW WILL STICK TO SFCS ONCE IT
HITS.  THIS RAISES CONCERNS THOUGH FOR TREE DAMAGE ON POTENTIAL
POWER OUTAGES.  THINK HIGHEST WIND DRIVEN SNOW THREAT WILL BE ACROSS
NORTHERN EL PASO COUNTY AND WILL COME TO AN END BY MID DAY FRIDAY.

THE SE CORNER OF THE PLAINS ON FRIDAY WILL BE ONCE AGAIN BE LOOKING
AT A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL...ESPECIALLY ACROSS
BACA...PROWERS...AND BENT COUNTIES AS DRY LINE LIFTS BACK
NORTHWARD...AND ATMOS DESTABILIZES ALOFT AS COLD CORE LOW MOVES IN.
DEEP LAYER SHEARS ARE WEAKER THOUGH...BUT GIVEN THE
INSTABILITY...THERE IS SOME HEALTHY CAPE LOW IN THE SOUNDINGS.
LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS ARE THE MAIN THREATS...BUT IF A STORM
ANCHORS TO A BOUNDARY...LOW LVL STRETCHING OF THE UPDRAFT COULD
RESULT IN A BRIEF TORNADO.  HAVE PUT SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS INTO THE
GRIDS FOR TOMORROW ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS.  -KT

.LONG TERM...

(FRI NITE - THURSDAY)

MAIN CONCERN WILL BE UPPER LOW WHICH WILL SLOWLY MOVE OUT DURING THE
BEGINNING OF THIS TIME PERIOD.

THIS WILL BE SHORT DUE TO ONGOING WX...

USED GFS PRIMARILY FOR THIS FCST. BEST CHANCE OF ONGOING HEAVY SNOW
WILL BE MAINLY OVER NORTHERN EL PASO COUNTY. THIS THREAT OF HEAVY
SNOW WILL LAST FRI NITE INTO SATURDAY. HEAVY SNOW THREAT WILL ALSO
CONTINUE OVER THE WETS AND SANGRES. HOWEVER THIS IS LESS CERTAIN
ATTM. IF GFS GUIDANCE IS CORRECT...IT WILL OCCUR. IF NAM IS
CORRECT...NW 700 MB FLOW MAY CUT THINGS OFF ACROSS THE
WETS/SANGRES. HOWEVER...THERE MAY BE ENOUGH INSTABILITY IN THE NAM
TO CAUSE LOCALLY HEAVY CONVECTIVE SNOWS SAT ACROSS ABOVE MENTIONED
AREAS.

REGARDING THE ENDING TIMES OF THE WARNINGS...IF THE GUIDANCE IS
CORRECT...THEN WE MAY NEED TO EXTEND THE WARNING FOR NORTHERN EL
PASO COUNTY AS BOTH LATEST 18Z NAM AND GFS HAVE ANOTHER BAND
WRAPPING AROUND THE LOW. THE WARNINGS MAY NEED TO BE DISCONTINUED
EARLY ACROSS HUERFANO AND LAS ANIMAS COUNTIES IF THE NAM DOES
VERIFY.

AS BEEN ALLUDED TO NUMEROUS TIMES THE LAST FEW DAYS...HEAVY WET
SNOWS WILL BE A THREAT WITH THIS STORM...ESPECIALLY OVER NORTHERN EL
PASO COUNTY.

THIS STORM PROMISES TO BRING BENEFICIAL PRECIP TO THE ENTIRE
REGION.

AFTER THIS SYSTEM GOES BY...RIDGE WILL BUILD OVER THE REGION
BRINGING IN FINE SPRING WX. /HODANISH

&&

.AVIATION...

EXPECT WIDESPREAD IFR CIGS WITH HEAVY SNOW TO SPREAD INTO THE
MOUNTAINS THIS EVENING...AND INTO THE ADJACENT I-25 CORRIDOR WITH
MVFR TO IFR CIGS AS UPSLOPE FLOW SPREADS ACROSS THE AREA.  HEAVY
SNOW WILL BE POSSIBLE FOR THE KCOS TAF SITE WHERE BRIEF IFR TO LIFR
CIGS WILL BE POSSIBLE.  SNOW IS EXPECTED TO MELT ON ROAD SFCS AT
KPUB...THOUGH SOME PERIODIC ACCUMS OF A FEW INCHES ON GRASSY SFCS
WILL BE POSSIBLE AT TIMES...ALONG WITH BRIEFLY SLUSHY CONDITIONS ON
THE GRASS.  FOR KCOS...MORE DIFFICULT FORECAST THERE WITH LIKELY 3 TO
6 INCHES ON THE GROUND AT ANY ONE TIME.  HIGHER AMOUNTS OF SNOW WILL
BE LIKELY ACROSS THE MOUNTAIN AREAS.  KALS WILL SEE CONVECTIVE
SHOWERS DURING THE FIRST PART OF THE NIGHT...THEN MORE WIDESPREAD
SNOW LATE TONIGHT THROUGH EARLY FRIDAY MORNING.  IFR CIGS WILL BE
POSSIBLE UNDER HEAVIER SNOW SHOWERS. -KT
