AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DENVER CO
336 AM MDT WED MAR 16 2011

.SHORT TERM...INCREASING WSW FLOW ALOFT WILL BE OVER THE AREA THRU
TONIGHT.  SOME HIGHER LEVEL MOISTURE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA SO
OUTSIDE OF SOME CLOUDS IT LOOKS DRY OVER THE ENTIRE CWA THRU THE
AFTN.  BIGGEST CONCERN FROM MIDDAY THRU EARLY EVENING WILL BE FIRE
DANGER IN AND NR THE FOOTHILLS.  SO FAR IT LOOKS LIKE WINDS AND
HUMIDITIES WILL REACH RED FLAG CRITERIA LATER THIS MORNING IN THE
FOOTIHLLS AND ALONG THE FRONT RANGE BY EARLY AFTN SO WILL KEEP THE
RED WARNING IN PLACE.  COULD BRIEFLY SEE RED FLAG CONDITIONS SPREAD
INTO ZONES 42..43 AND 45 BY LATE AFTN AS WELL IF WINDS ARE STRONGER
THAN FCST.  AS FAR AS HIGHS BASED ON WSW LOW LEVEL FLOW SHOULD SEE
GOOD DOWNSLOPE WARMING WITH HIGHS RISING INTO THE 70S ACROSS ALL OF
NERN CO.  RECORD HIGH AT DENVER IS 74 SO THAT SHOULD BE BKN THIS
AFTN I WOULD THINK.

FOR TONIGHT MOISTURE WIL GRADUALLY INCREASE IN THE MTNS MAINLY AFTER
MIDNIGHT WITH THE BEST CHANCE OF PCPN DEVELPING NR A STG UPPER LEVEL
JET MAINLY OVER ZN 31 TOWARDS MORNING.  THUS WILL KEEP POPS ON THE
LOW SIDE IN MOST MTN LOCATIONS OVERNIGHT EXCEPT FOR THE GORE RANGE.
MEANWHILE GUSTY WINDS MAY SUBSIDE IN AND NR THE FOOTHILLS EARLY THIS
EVENING BUT WILL LIKELY INCREASE AGAIN LATE TONIGHT HOWEVER SPEEDS
SHOULD STAY BLO HIGH WIND CRITERIA.

.LONG TERM...MODELS INDICATE INCREASING SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT
THURSDAY THROUGH MID DAY FRIDAY...THEN A JET MAXIMUM IS PROGGED
ACROSS THE CWA.  PROGGED SPEEDS WITH THE JET ARE IN THE 95 TO 110
KNOT RANGE.  YESTERDAY'S 00Z MODEL RUNS INDICATED A 140 KNOT JET.
DECREASING SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT IS PROGGED THE REST OF FRIDAY
AND FRIDAY NIGHT.  THERE IS LITTLE IN THE WAY OF ANY SYNOPTIC SCALE
ENERGY PROGGED FOR THE FORECAST AREA THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT.
THE BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS ARE WEST-SOUTHWESTERLY ON THURSDAY MORNING
...WITH FAIRLY DECENT SPEEDS IN THE FOOTHILLS AND IMMEDIATE PLAINS.
THE NAM BRINGS A NORTH-NORTHEASTERLY SURGE INTO THE PLAINS THURSDAY
MORNING...THE GFS BY AFTERNOON.  THE UPSLOPE GETS INTO THE LOWER
FOOTHILLS BY AFTERNOON.  THE GFS HAS HIGHER SPEEDS COMPARED TO THE
NAM...AND BOTH KEEP IT GOING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT.  ON FRIDAY
MORNING...THE FLOW BECOMES SOUTHEASTERLY FOR THE PLAINS AND
CONTINUES INTO FRIDAY EVENING...WHEN NORMAL DIURNAL WIND TRENDS
DEVELOP OVERNIGHT INTO SATURDAY.  THE PLAINS STAY PRETTY DRY ON
THURSDAY...EVEN WITH THE UPSLOPE...BUT THE GFS DOES HAVE SOME MID
AND UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE AROUND BY AFTERNOON.  MOISTURE IS
INCREASING OVER THE MOUNTAINS THURSDAY MORNING...THEN GETS PRETTY
DEEP THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS.  MOISTURE IS PRETTY DEEP OVER THE
MOUNTAINS THURSDAY EVENING...BUT THE THE GFS DRIES IT OUT
SIGNIFICANTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT THURSDAY NIGHT.  THE NAM DECREASES IT
SOMEWHAT...BUT KEEPS SOME MOISTURE LINGERING OVER THE MOUNTAINS INTO
FRIDAY.  FOR THE PLAINS...MOISTURE IS POOR ON THURSDAY...THEN GETS
FAIRLY DEEP THURSDAY EVENING ON THE GFS...NOT UNTIL LATER IN THE
EVENING ON THE NAM.  MOISTURE STICKS AROUND OVER THE PLAINS ON THE
NAM INTO FRIDAY AFTERNOON...BUT DECREASES MORE SO ON THE GFS DURING
THE MORNING FRIDAY.  THERE IS SOME MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION ON THE
QPF FIELDS OVER THE MOUNTAINS ON THURSDAY...MORE THURSDAY NIGHT...
THEN A BIT EARLY FRIDAY.  FOR THE PLAINS...THERE IS SOME THURSDAY
NIGHT AND A TAD FRIDAY MORNING.  THE NAM SHOWS CONSIDERABLY MORE
THAN THE GFS DOES...AND BOTH MODELS SHOW THE PRECIPITATION TO BE
VERY MUCH RELATED TO THE JET MAXIMUM THAT MOVES ACROSS THE CWA.  FOR
MOUNTAINS POPS...SNOW IS EXPECTED THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND MUCH OF THE
NIGHT FOR SURE.  SNOW MODEL YIELDS SNOW ADVISORY AMOUNTS IN ZONE 31
ONLY...NOT 33 OR 34...AND THAT IS ASSUMING THE NAM DATA WILL
ACTUALLY OCCUR.  IF THE GFS PARAMETERS ARE CORRECT...A SNOW ADVISORY
WOULD BE A STRETCH EVEN IN ZONE 31.  THE MOUNTAIN TOP FLOW IS NOT
GREAT FOR OROGRAPHIC HELP WHEN THE MOISTURE IS PROGGED ACROSS.
LAPSE RATES ARE POOR ON THE GFS...BETTER ON THE NAM.  THEN THERE IS
THE JET MAXIMUM THAT IS EXPECTED TO HELP.  WILL LEAVE WATCH
GOING...MAYBE THE 12Z MODELS WILL LOOK BETTER.  FOR THE PLAINS...
THERE IS SOME UPSLOPE THURSDAY NIGHT...FAIR MOISTURE..AND AGAIN THE
JET.  WILL GO WITH 10-30%S FOR NOW.  AS FAR AS THE FIRE WEATHER
HIGHLIGHT GO...WIND SPEEDS MAY BE STRONG ENOUGH OVER THE FOOTHILLS
AND IMMEDIATE PLAINS ON THURSDAY FOR A WARNING UNTIL THE UPSLOPE
MOVES IN DURING THE MORNING/AFTERNOON.  MOISTURE LOOKS TO GO UP A
BIT BEHIND THE FRONT...AND THE UPSLOPE WIND SPEEDS ARE NOT GREAT
...WITH THE GFS SHOWING THEM STRONGER...BUT NOT UP TO 25 MPH.
TEMPERATURES ARE DOWN ON THURSDAY AS WELL.  SO CONSIDERING THESE
LATEST MODEL RUNS...IT WILL BE A TIMING ISSUE...BUT THE WARNING'S
OUT ALREADY...SO WILL LET IT RIDE.  FOR TEMPERATURES...THURSDAY'S
HIGHS ARE 1-4 C COLDER THAN TODAY'S EXPECTED HIGHS...BUT COOLER
STILL OVER THE NORTHEAST CORNER.  FRIDAY'S HIGHS ARE 2-5 C COOLER
THAN THURSDAY'S.  FOR THE LATER DAYS...SATURDAY THROUGH...MODELS ARE
SLOWING DOWN THE SUNDAY NIGHT/MONDAY UPPER TROUGH NOW TO LATE
MONDAY/MONDAY NIGHT ON THE ECMWF TO...IT NEVER REALLY MOVING ACROSS
NOW ON THE GFS.  MOISTURE IS FAIR MONDAY AND TUESDAY...BUT OTHERWISE
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY ARE FAIRLY DRY.  TEMPERATURES CONTINUE ABOVE
SEASONAL NORMALS...BUT COOL SOMEWHAT ON TUESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS THRU TONIGHT.  WINDS WILL BE SSW THRU
LATE MORNING AND THEN GRADUALLY BECOME MORE WLY BY 18Z WITH SPEEDS
INCREASING TO 15-20 MPH WITH A FEW GUSTS TO 30 MPH.  WINDS MAY HAVE
MORE OF A MORE WNW COMPONENT BY 21Z BEFORE DECREASING BY 01Z. DURING
THE EVENING EXPECT WINDS TO BECOME MORE SSW AND STAY THAT WAY
OVERNIGHT.

...RED FLAG WARNING FOR THE FOOTHILLS...FRONT RANGE AND PALMER
DIVIDE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS...
...WINTER STORM WATCH FOR THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS NORTH OF I-70 FOR
THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT...

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHEAST AND NORTH CENTRAL
COLORADO.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

UNSEASONABLY WARM TEMPERATURES...GUSTY DOWNSLOPE WINDS AND VERY LOW
HUMIDITY WILL CREATE HIGH WILDLAND FIRE DANGER IN THE FOOTHILLS OF
THE FRONT RANGE...MUCH OF THE I-25 URBAN CORRIDOR...AND ON THE
PALMER DIVIDE EASTWARD ACROSS LINCOLN COUNTY THIS AFTERNOON AND
EARLY THIS EVENING. WEST TO SOUTHWEST WINDS 20 TO 30 MPH AND GUSTS
TO AROUND 45 MPH ARE LIKELY TO DEVELOP IN THE FOOTHILLS BY AROUND
MIDDAY. AT LOWER ELEVATIONS...SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 10 TO 20
MPH AND GUSTS TO AROUND 30 MPH ARE LIKELY TO DEVELOP NOT TOO LONG
AFTER THAT. THIS EVENING...WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO WEAKEN ON THE
PLAINS BUT REMAIN QUITE GUSTY ON EAST FACING SLOPES OF THE FRONT
RANGE OVERNIGHT. BECAUSE OF THESE GUSTY WINDS...LOW HUMIDITY AND
MILD TEMPERATURES...THE WILDLAND FIRE DANGER MAY REMAIN HIGH THROUGH
THE NIGHT FOR FOOTHILL AREAS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY

FIRE DANGER WILL CONTINUE TO BE HIGH ON THURSDAY...MAINLY IN AND
NEAR THE FOOTHILLS AND OVER THE PALMER DIVIDE. SNOW IS EXPECTED IN
THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT...WITH
ACCUMULATIONS UP TO 12 INCHES BY FRIDAY MORNING. THE PLAINS AND
FOOTHILLS MAY SEE A RAIN AND SNOW MIX LATE THURSDAY AND THURSDAY
NIGHT. A PERIOD OF MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW MAY OCCUR LATE THURSDAY
NIGHT NORTH OF A LINE FROM BOULDER TO GREELEY.

DRY CONDITIONS WILL RETURN TO THE FORECAST AREA FRIDAY AND CONTINUE
THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM WILL AFFECT THE AREA
MONDAY AND TUESDAY BRINGING A CHANCE FOR RAIN AND SNOW.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED TODAY OR TONIGHT. HOWEVER
REPORTS OF STRONG WINDS WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
