AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND JUNCTION CO
259 PM MDT FRI MAR 18 2011

.SHORT TERM DISCUSSION...TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...

DRIER SOUTHWEST FLOW HAS SETTLED OVER THE REGION IN THE WAKE OF
LAST NIGHT'S STORM SYSTEM. AS MENTIONED IN THE PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
RESIDUAL MOISTURE OVER THE SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL MOUNTAINS SHOULD BE
SUFFICIENT FOR SHOWER ACTIVITY LATER THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY
EVENING. HOWEVER...MODELS HAVE BACKED OFF ON COVERAGE OF MOIST
CONVECTION SO LOWERED POP VALUES ACCORDINGLY. WEAK OVERRUNNING
COMBINED WITH DIVERGENCE ASSOCIATED WITH RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF
THE JET MAY KEEP POCKETS OF LIGHT SNOW GOING OVER THE SOUTHERN AND
CENTRAL MOUNTAINS LATE TONIGHT.

DRIER CONDITIONS EXPECTED SATURDAY WITH JUST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
SHOWERS OVER THE MOUNTAINS DURING THE AFTERNOON. MORE SIGNIFICANTLY
HOWEVER...SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL PICK UP DURING THE AFTERNOON AHEAD
OF COOL FRONT. MODELS MOVE THIS FEATURE ACROSS CENTRAL UTAH DURING
THE DAY. 7H WINDS A BIT LIGHT FOR ADVISORY LEVEL SURFACE WINDS
OVER SOUTHEAST AND EAST-CENTRAL UTAH...BUT WILL URGE THE MIDNIGHT
CREW TO TAKE A FRESH LOOK TONIGHT.

THE FRONT DRIFTS EASTWARD ACROSS THE REGION SATURDAY NIGHT WITHOUT A
LOT OF FANFARE AS SOUTHWEST FLOW REMAINS RELATIVELY DRY. DIGGING
EASTERN PACIFIC LOW SHIFTS SLIGHTLY INLAND SUNDAY FOR A RENEWED
CHANCE OF SHOWERS DURING THE AFTERNOON...MAINLY NORTH OF THE I-70
CORRIDOR.

TEMPERATURES WARM SATURDAY WITH ONSET OF STRONG SOUTHWESTERLIES AND
GENERALLY WENT AT OR A DEGREE OR TWO ABOVE GUIDANCE. SLIGHTLY
COOLER HIGHS EXPECTED SUNDAY BEHIND THE COOL FRONT...THOUGH NOT
APPRECIABLY SO. OVERNIGHT LOWS SHOULD BE NEAR NORMAL TONIGHT AND
SATURDAY NIGHT.

.LONG TERM...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...

MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES EJECTING FROM A LONG
WAVE TROUGH OVER THE WEST COAST THROUGH NEXT WEEK. THE PERIOD BEGINS
AS ONE RELATIVELY STRONG SYSTEM APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. THIS SYSTEM
WILL MOVE INTO THE GREAT BASIN ON MONDAY...WITH THE CHANCE OF
PRECIPITATION DEVELOPING OVER THE WESTERN EDGE DURING THE AFTERNOON.
IN ADDITION...A COLD FRONT WILL REACH THE WESTERN EDGE LATE IN THE
DAY FOR ADDED LIFT AND INSTABILITY. THE STRONG FLOW ALOFT WILL ALSO
MIX TO THE SURFACE BY AROUND MIDDAY...FOR STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS OVER
MUCH OF THE AREA. PRECIPITATION WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
BY MONDAY EVENING AS THE FRONT PASSES AND THE TROUGH APPROACHES. THE
GFS INDICATES THAT THE MAIN ENERGY WILL STAY TO OUR NORTHWEST AS THE
LOW EJECTS OUT OF THE GREAT BASIN AND INTO WESTERN MONTANA. THE ECMWF
SOLUTION IS A LITTLE MORE SOUTHERLY...AND MORE FAVORABLE FOR US. BUT
FOR NOW THE MOISTURE STILL SEEMS TO BE SOMEWHAT LACKING. SO HAVE KEPT
POPS IN THE CHANCE/SLIGHT CHANCE CATEGORIES FOR THIS FORECAST
PACKAGE. PRECIPITATION WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TUESDAY AS THE TROUGH
AXIS PASSES AND THE COLD AIR ALOFT MOVES OVERHEAD FOR CONTINUED
INSTABILITY. AGAIN THE ECMWF BRINGS THE COLDER AIR FARTHER SOUTH WITH
A LARGE AREA OF -28C AT 500 MB OVER MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA. THE
NORTH WILL GENERALLY BE FAVORED. POPS MAY NEED TO BE INCREASED IF
THIS SYSTEM DOES TAKE A BETTER AIM ON THE FORECAST AREA.

RIDGING FOLLOWS FOR WEDNESDAY WITH ANOTHER WEAKER IMPULSE ON
THURSDAY. BEYOND THIS WEAKER WAVE...TIMING HAS BEEN MUCH HARDER TO
PIN DOWN WITH SOLUTIONS FLUCTUATING FROM RUN-TO-RUN AND BETWEEN
MODELS.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE WARM AHEAD OF EACH WAVE...AND COOL BEHIND
THEM...BUT GENERALLY REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION...

EXPECT PRIMARILY VFR CONDITIONS OVER THE REGION TONIGHT AND SATURDAY
AS A DRIER SOUTHWEST FLOW SETTLES OVER THE AREA. HOWEVER...A FEW
LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE OVER THE SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL
MOUNTAINS TONIGHT...AND AGAIN SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

.GJT WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

CO...NONE.
