336 PM MDT WED MAR 25 2009

.SHORT TERM...

(TONIGHT AND THURSDAY)

WILL KEEP THIS BRIEF.  COMPLICATED METEOROLOGICAL PATTERN FOR THE
SHORT TERM WITH NUMEROUS WINTER WEATHER HIGHLIGHTS POSTED...PLEASE
SEE PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES AT THE END OF THIS DOCUMENT.

OUTSIDE OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS WHERE SOME SNOW IS CURRENTLY
OCCURRING...CWFA NOTING VARIABLE CLOUDS IN COMBINATION WITH COOL
LATE MARCH TEMPERATURES.  GUSTY WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS UP TO 30
KNOTS AT TIMES ALSO NOTED ALONG PORTIONS OF THE I-25 CORRIDOR.

LATEST SHORT TERM MODELS SUGGEST THAT POWERFUL STORM SYSTEM WILL BE
LOCATED OVER NORTHEASTERN UTAH AS A CLOSED UPPER LOW WITH CLOSED
UPPER LOW THEN PUSHING INTO SOUTHWEST COLORADO BY 00Z FRIDAY.  AT
THE SURFACE...STRONG NORTH TO NORTHEASTERLY SURGE PUSHES ACROSS THE
CWFA DURING THE DAY.

NUMEROUS WINTER WEATHER HIGHLIGHTS OUT FOR THE CWFA AND WILL UPGRADE
EXISTING WINTER STORM WATCH FOR ZONES 59>68 TO A WINTER STORM
WARNING...WHICH WILL BE IN EFFECT FROM 05Z THURSDAY TO 12Z FRIDAY.
ALSO...WILL PAINT WINTER STORM WARNING FOR ZONES 81/82 AND 84 FROM
16Z THURSDAY TO 00Z SATURDAY.  ELSEWHERE...NUMEROUS WINTER STORM
WATCHES REMAIN IN EFFECT AND WILL BE UPDATED AS NEEDED.

.LONG TERM...

(FRIDAY - WEDNESDAY)

 ...WINTER STORM TO CONTINUE DURING THE 1ST PART OF THIS PD...

HEAVY SNOW AND WIND SHOULD BE BLASTING THE I-25 CORRIDOR FROM
WALSENBURG N TO THE PALMER DIVIDE AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS TIME
PERIOD (00Z FRIDAY (6PM THU MDT)). THE 500 MB LOW AT THIS TIME
SHOULD BE IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY OF THE 4 CORNERS WITH THE 700
MB LOW DOWN OVER THE S SANGRES. WINDS WITH THIS 700 MB LOW ARE
PRDG TO BE IN THE 40 TO 50 KNOT RANGE FROM THE NE...EXTENDING OVER
THE PIKES PEAK REGION DOWN ACROSS THE WETS AND SANGRE MTNS.

I SHOULD MENTION THAT THE PRECIP WILL LIKELY BEGIN AS RAIN AT THE
LOWER ELEVATIONS DISCUSSED ABOVE...BUT GIVEN THE COLD
TEMPS...CHANGEOVER SHOULD BE QUICK.

AS THE EVENING PROGRESSES...(06Z...MIDNIGHT)...500 MB LOW WILL MOVE
SLOWLY ESE AND BE LOCATED N OF ABQ...700 MB LOW WILL BY JUST S OF THE
CO/NM BORDER S OF RATON. STRONG NE 700 MB WINDS OF 30-40 MPH WILL
CONTINUE TO IMPINGE OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE PIKES PEAK
REGION...WETS/SANGRES AND RATON MESA. W/O SAYING...HEAVY SNOWS WILL
BE FALLING ALONG THE GREATER I-25 CORRIDOR. HOWEVER...BY THIS TIME
STRONG NORTHERLY SFC WINDS SHOULD BE BLOWING...AND THIS WILL SET UP
THE DOWNSLPOE OVER S EL PASO/N PUEBLO COUNTY...THUS DECREASING THE
SNOW OVER THESE AREAS. STEADY SNOWS SHOULD BE OCCURRING OVER THE
REMAINDER OF THE PLAINS.

BY 12Z...6 AM FRIDAY....THE 500 MB LOW WILL BE A BIT FARTHER
ESE...WITH THE 700 MB LOW ENTERING INTO THE N TEXAS PANHANDLE.
HEAVY TO VERY HEAVY SNOWS SHOULD BE ONGOING ACROSS ALL OF THE SE
CO PLAINS AND ALONG THE N FACING SLOPES OF THE RATON MESA. SNOWS
MAY BE GRADUALLY DECREASING ACROSS THE PIKES PEAK REGION.

BY NOON...THE SYSTEM INTENSIFIES...DROPPING 30-40 METERS AT 500 MB.
THE MID LVL LOW SHOULD NOW BE OVER NORTHCENTRAL TX PHD WITH THE 700
MB LOW JUST TO ITS EAST. 50-60 KNT NE WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO PUMMEL
THE RATON MESA EXTENDING BACK INTO THE SANGRES/WETS. INTENSE
SNOWFALL SHOULD BE OCCURRING OVER THE FAR SE PLAINS ALONG WITH
STRONG N SFC WINDS.

BY LATE IN THE DAY...THE LOW SHOULD CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST...WITH THE
PRECIP GRADUALLY WINDING DOWN ACROSS THE SE PLAINS.

A FEW THINGS...

THE POSSIBILITY OF BLIZZARD CONDITIONS OVER THE PLAINS ON FRIDAY
(AND FOR THAT MATTER ON THE PALMER DIVIDE THU NIGHT AND EARLY
FRIDAY) IS REAL....AND THE CURRENT HIGHLIGHTS (WWA/WSW) MAY NEED TO BE
UPGRADED ON THE EVENING SHIFT OR MIDNIGHT SHIFT.

THE HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE PIKES PEAK REGION EXTEND INTO 00Z SATURDAY.
THIS MAY BE A LITTLE OVERDONE...BUT I WOULD RATHER LEAN ON THE SIDE
OF CAUTION FOR NOW. IF THE GUIDANCE IS A PERFECT PRG...THEN THE SNOW
SHOULD BE ENDING OVER THE PIKES PEAK AREA LATE MORNING/MIDDAY
FRIDAY.

TRAVEL WILL LIKELY BECOME IMPOSSIBLE OVER MANY AREAS OF THE GREATER
SE CO REGION...ESPECIALLY OVER THE PALMER DIVIDE...I-25 S OF PUB TO
THE CO/NM BORDER...US-50 E OF PUB...AND 287.

IF YOU PLAN TO TRAVEL TOMORROW YOU WILL LIKELY NOT BE ABLE TO GET
BACK HOME. AS AN EXAMPLE...IF YOU LIVE IN COS AND COMMUTE TO
DEN...THERE IS A HIGH PROBABILITY THAT YOU WILL BE STAYING IN DEN
THU NIGHT. KEEP IN MIND SIGNIFICANT SNOW IS ANTICIPATED FOR THE MILE
HIGH CITY DURING THE DAY TOMORROW (THURSDAY).

THERE MAY BE A CHANCE THAT S EL PASO AND N PUEBLO COUNTIES MAY SEE
MORE SNOW THAN TYPICALLY IS THE CASE WITH THESE EVENTS. A VERY
IMPRESSIVE TROWAL IS NOTED WITH THIS SYSTEM AND IT WILL BE OVER
THESE REGIONS THU NIGHT. I AM STILL CONFIDENT THAT N EL PASO WILL
GET SIGNIFICANTLY MORE THAN S EL PASO CNTY...BUT WE COULD SEE UP TO
7-10 TOTAL IN DOWNTOWN COS WITH 6-8 IN PUEBLO.

A LOT OF SNOW WILL FALL WITH THIS EVENT. TOTAL SNOW GRIDDS RANGE
FROM 10-20 OVER N EL PASO...WITH 10-20 OVER THE WETS/SANGRES. THIS
MAY BE UNDERDONE...ESPECIALLY OVER THE WETS/SANGRES. 6-10 SHOULD
FALL OVER THE PLAINS.

AS FOR THE MTNS...10-20 OVER THE C AND SW MTNS. THE E SLOPES OF THE
SW MTNS/W SLOPES OF THE SLV VALLEY FLOOR MAY SEE SIGNIF ACCUMS.

AS FOR THE REST OF THE FCST...2 MORE TROUGHS WILL MOVE THROUGH WED
AND FRI. WED SYSTEM APPEARS TO TRACK A BIT TOO FAR N FOR US TO GET
HEAVY SNOW ON THE E PLAINS...BUT C MTNS SHOULD GET WHACKED ONCE
AGAIN.

FRI SYSTEMS ON THE GFS LOOKS PROMISING...BUT THE LASTEST EC SHOWS
MORE OF A QUICK PROGRESSIVE TROUGH.

ENJOY THE STORM...BUT PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND PLEASE STAY HOME IF YOU
CAN...IF YOU DO TRAVEL...MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN EMERGENCY WINTER WX
KIT WITH YOU ALSO...ENJOY THE PRECIP....WE NEED IT /HODANISH

.AVIATION...

...HIGH IMPACT EVENT TO AFFECT THE AIRPORTS TOMORROW...

VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED AT KPUB...KCOS AND KPUB TONIGHT.  GUSTY WEST
TO NORTHWEST WINDS UP TO 30 KNOTS AT TIMES EXPECTED THIS EVENING AT
TAF SITES.

A MAJOR WINTER STORM WILL HAVE A HIGH IMPACT ON ALL AIRPORTS STARTING
