BEST UPWARD MOTION SHIFTS WESTWARD TO THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN MOUNTAINS OVERNIGHT WITH SNOW LEVELS FALLING BELOW 9000 FEET BY MORNING. QPF VALUES FROM NAM AND GFS BOTH SUGGEST WARNING CRITERIA SNOWFALL POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT AND ESPECIALLY FRIDAY OVER THE RAMPART/SAWATCH/MOSQUITO RANGES AND PIKES PEAK...SO WILL HOIST A WINTER STORM WARNING FOR HIGHER ELEVATION ZONES. WILL SEE SOME SNOW AS LOW AS 7000 FEET OVER THE PALMER DIVIDE...THOUGH NOT SURE IF ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE ENOUGH FOR HIGHLIGHTS.
