AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
312 PM MDT MON APR 5 2010

.SHORT TERM...
(TONIGHT AND TUESDAY)

...HIGH WINDS AND HIGH FIRE DANGER CONTINUE TONIGHT AND TUESDAY WITH
SNOW ALONG THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE...

WINDS HAVE BEEN POWERFUL IN SPOTS TODAY.  THE HOTTEST SPOT HAS BEEN
ALONG THE EAST SLOPES OF THE WET MOUNTAINS...ESPECIALLY AROUND THE
COLORADO CITY AREA.  RAWS SITES HAVE INDICATED GUSTS IN THE 65 TO 75
MPH RANGE FROM COLORADO CITY TO NEAR WETMORE.  OTHER NOTABLE GUSTS
TODAY INCLUDE 60 MPH AT ALAMOSA AND 58 MPH AT MONUMENT.
ELSEWHERE...GUSTS HAVE GENERALLY BEEN IN THE 45-55 MPH RANGE ALONG
AND WEST OF THE I-25 CORRIDOR...AND UP TO ABOUT 35 MPH EAST OF THE
I-25 CORRIDOR. STRONG WINDS ARE LIKELY TO CONTINUE INTO THE NIGHT AS
THE UPPER JET REMAINS OVERHEAD.  CONSEQUENTLY...CURRENT HIGH WIND
WARNINGS WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT.

RED FLAG CRITERIA ARE WIDESPREAD OVER THE EAST TODAY.  HUMIDITIES
ARE MOST OFTEN BELOW 10 PERCENT...WITH WINDS AS STATED ABOVE.  THESE
VOLATILE FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE INTO THIS EVENING
WHILE THE UPPER JETSTREAM MOVES ACROSS THE AREA.

SNOWFALL WILL PICKUP ALONG THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE TONIGHT INTO
TOMORROW MORNING AS A DISTURBANCE CROSSING THE GREAT BASIN THIS
AFTERNOON MOVES INTO THE AREA.  WILL CONTINUE WITH THE WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORY FOR THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AS ACCUMULATIONS LOOK TO
GENERALLY BE IN THE 4 TO 8 INCH RANGE...BUT LOCALLY UP TO 12.  SOME
SNOW FARTHER SOUTH ALONG THE DIVIDE...OVER THE SAN JUANS AND LA
GARITAS...BUT BELOW HIGHLIGHT LEVELS AS THE PERIOD OF SNOWFALL
ACCUMULATION SHOULD GENERALLY BE MORE BRIEF.

FOR TOMORROW...WILL UPGRADE FIRE WEATHER WATCH TO A RED FLAG WARNING
FOR THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS.  STILL LOOKS LIKE THERE WILL BE RED FLAG
CONDITIONS FOR MOST OF THE EAST...BOTH AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD
FRONT DURING THE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS...AS WELL AS FOR
A SPELL BEHIND THE COLD FRONT.  SO ANOTHER DAY OF CRITICAL FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS.  IT'LL BE WINDY IN MOST AREAS AGAIN
TOMORROW...BUT ESPECIALLY OVER THE EASTERN PLAINS...WHERE THE COLD
FRONT WILL BE PLOWING THROUGH.  COULD AGAIN SEE GUSTS IN THE 50-55
MPH RANGE.  EXCEPT FOR THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE...PRECIPITATION
CHANCES ARE NOT LOOKING GOOD FOR MOST AREAS THROUGH THE DAY
TOMORROW.  SO THE FORECAST JUST INDICATES ISOLATED SHOWERS FOR THE
MOST PART...WITH THE BEST CHANCE COMING WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE
OVER THE PLAINS DURING THE AFTERNOON. BUSY...BUSY...BUSY. LW

.LONG TERM...

(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)

UPPER TROUGH WILL BE MOVING THRU KS AND NE TUE NIGHT...AND SNOW OVR
THE DVD WILL BEGIN WINDING DOWN WITH ONLY ANOTHER INCH OR SO LIKELY
BY WED MORNING. COLD FRONT WILL DROP SWD OVR THE PLAINS
OVERNIGHT...BRINGING A CHANCE OF SOME PRECIP TO THE ERN ZONES THRU
WED MORNING. BEST SHOT AT ANY PRECIP LOOKS TO BE IN THE 08Z-14Z TIME
FRAME...BUT ANY PRECIP SHOULD BE RELATIVELY LIGHT AND SHORT-LIVED.
POSSIBLE EXCEPTIONS ARE OVER THE PALMER DVD AND RATON MESA...WHERE
UPSLOPE FLOW WILL MAINTAIN SOME SHWRS OVERNIGHT. COULD SEE A COUPLE
INCHES OF SNOW OVER MONUMENT HILL OVERNIGHT...AND GUSTY N TO NW WINDS
COULD CAUSE SOME TRAVEL HEADACHES...PARTICULARLY IF THE FRONT
ARRIVES A LITTLE EARLIER THAN ANTICIPATED.

WILL BE A RATHER RAW SPRING DAY ON WED...WITH TEMPS OVER THE PLAINS
STRUGGLING TO GET INTO THE 50S...AND BREEZY N WINDS CONTRIBUTING TO
THE CHILL. PRECIP SHOULD BE OVR BY AFTERNOON HOWEVER...SAVE A FEW
SHWRS OVR THE HYR TRRN. END OF THE WEEK CONTINUES TO LOOK DRY AND
WARM AS AN UPPER RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE AREA...FORTUNATELY WITH
LIGHTER WINDS FIRE WX DANGER WILL BE MINIMIZED. HAVE CUT BACK ON
ALREADY LOW POPS THROUGH THE WEEKEND...WITH NEXT STORM SYSTEM NOT
LIKELY TO MOVE INTO THE WRN PART OF THE STATE UNTIL THE END OF THE
WEEKEND AT THE EARLIEST. ROSE

&&

.AVIATION...
MAIN AVIATION CONCERN IS THE WIND.  GUSTS TO 75 MPH POSSIBLE ALONG
THE MOUNTAINS AND IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT PLAINS.  ELSEWHERE...GUSTS IN
THE 45 TO 55 MPH RANGE ARE EXPECTED ALONG AND WEST OF THE I-25
CORRIDOR...WITH GUSTS IN THE 35 TO 45 MPH RANGE EAST OF THE CORRIDOR.
OTHER CONCERN IS MVFR/IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS IN SNOW ALONG THE
CONTINENTAL DIVIDE DEVELOPING LATER THIS EVENING AND CONTINUING
THROUGH TUESDAY.  ACROSS THE LOWER ELEVATIONS...GENERALLY A LOW
CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION THROUGH TUESDAY...BUT COULD BE SOME SPOTTY
MVFR CIGS/VSBYS IN RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS TOMORROW AFTERNOON AS AN UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH PASSES OVERHEAD. LW

&&

.PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
