AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
344 AM MST SAT NOV 27 2010

.SHORT TERM...
(TODAY AND TONIGHT)

MAIN CONCERN IS FIRE WX FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND RATHER STRONG WINDS
ALONG SOME OF THE MTN TOPS LATER TONIGHT.

CURRENTLY...

SKIES CLEAR ACROSS THE CWA. A LARGE AMOUNT OF HIGH CLOUDINESS WAS
NOTED JUST TO THE NORTH AND NORTHWEST OF THE STATE ASSOCIATED WITH
THE NEXT TROUGH THAT WILL AFFECT OUR WX BEYOND THE SHORT TERM FCST
PERIOD.

TODAY...

OVERALL IT IS GOING TO BE SUNNY AND RATHER PLEASANT ACROSS THE FCST
AREA TODAY. HOWEVER...OVER THE EASTERN PLAINS GENERALLY E OF
KLHX...SOUTHERLY WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH...COMBINED WITH RH VALUES
BELOW 15% AND ONGOING DROUGHT CONDITIONS WILL ALLOW FOR EXTREME GRASS
FIRE BEHAVIOR IF A FIRE WERE TO START. LIKEWISE...HAVE ISSUED A
RED FLAG WARNING FOR PARTS OF THE PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON.

TONIGHT...

SIMULATIONS SHOWING RATHER STRONG GUSTY WINDS OVER THE SAN
JUANS...WETS AND SOUTHERN SANGRE DE CRISTO MTNS TONIGHT. WIND GUSTS
OF 50 KNOTS OR SO WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE ABOVE MENTIONED LOCATIONS.
SOME OF THESE WINDS WILL MAKE IT DOWNSLOPE BUT DO NOT EXPECT THE
STRONGER GUSTS TO STRAY TOO FAR FROM THE MTNS. TEMPS TONIGHT ARE
EXPECTED TO BE ABOUT 4 TO 8F WARMER THAN THIS MORNINGS LOW TEMPS.

EXPECT HIGH CLOUDS TO BEGIN TO INCREASE TOWARDS SUNRISE OVER THE
CONTDVD IN ADVANCE OF THE NEXT WX SYSTEM MOVG TOWARDS THE REGION.
\/HODANISH

.LONG TERM...

MORNING. HAVE ISSUED ADVISORIES FOR THE HYR ELEVATION ZONES FOR
TOTAL SNOWFALL IN THE 4-8 INCH RANGE BY MONDAY...ALTHOUGH A FEW
SPOTS COULD SEE A COUPLE INCHES MORE. SAN JUANS WILL SEE THE
HEAVIEST SNOW SUN EVE...THEN WILL LIKELY SEE A RAPID DECREASE

GOING FOR NOW.

ON MON...AS THE COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO PUSH SWD INTO NM...IT
WILL BE A COLD AND UNSETTLED DAY ACROSS THE ERN PLAINS. NRLY WINDS
AND LACK OF SIGNIFICANT MOISTURE DO NOT BODE WELL FOR RELIEVING
THE SNOW DROUGHT OVR THE PLAINS...BUT A SLIGHT NERLY COMPONENT IN
THE AFTERNOON SHOULD RESULT IN SOME PERSISTENT SHSN ACTIVITY OVR
THE ERN SLOPES OF THE SANGRES AND WETS...AND SNOW AMTS COULD GET
CLOSE TO ADVISORY LEVELS BY MON NIGHT. RATON MESA AND TRINIDAD-

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL...EAST
CENTRAL...SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST COLORADO.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT

NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY

FROM LATE SUNDAY MORNING INTO SUNDAY AFTERNOON...METEOROLOGICAL
CONDITIONS WHICH COULD SUPPORT EXTREME FIRE BEHAVIOR HAVE THE
POTENTIAL TO DEVELOP OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN COLORADO PLAINS. THE
COMBINATION OF SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH...DRY
GRASSES...LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES...AND DEVELOPING DROUGHT
CONDITIONS ON THE PLAINS WILL ALLOW FOR EXTREME FIRE BEHAVIOR IF A
FIRE WERE TO START.

AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION
SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND LAST INTO MONDAY. THIS WEATHER SYSTEM WILL
ONCE AGAIN BRING SNOW TO THE MOUNTAINS ALONG THE CONTINENTAL
DIVIDE...ESPECIALLY THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS. RECENT COMPUTER
SIMULATIONS WERE ALSO INDICATING THAT THIS SYSTEM HAS THE
POTENTIAL TO BRING SOME ACCUMULATING SNOWS TO THE EAST FACING
SLOPES OF THE SOUTHERN MOUNTAINS...ESPECIALLY DOWN ALONG THE
COLORADO AND NEW MEXICO BORDER FROM MONDAY INTO MONDAY EVENING.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

WEATHER SPOTTERS WILL NOT BE NEEDED TONIGHT.
