AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND JUNCTION CO
432 AM MST SUN MAR 6 2011

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...
MOIST PACIFIC FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO STREAM OVER THE REGION THROUGH
THE SHORT TERM PERIOD. ACTING UPON THIS DEEPENING MOISTURE ARE A
COUPLE OF DISTURBANCES THAT WILL BRING UNSETTLED WEATHER TO THE
FORECAST AREA. THE FIRST DISTURBANCE WILL PASS THIS EVENING. THIS LOW
AMPLITUDE SHORTWAVE WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE AREA WITH THE BIGGEST
IMPACT OVER THE NORTH AND CENTRAL COLORADO MOUNTAINS. AS COMPARED TO
YESTERDAY'S 00Z RUNS...THE MODEL TREND HAS BEEN FOR A MORE SOUTHERLY
AND SLOWER SOLUTION. THEREFORE THE FORECAST TREND HAS BEEN FOR HIGHER
POPS WITH BETTER COVERAGE DOWN SOUTH. HAVE INCLUDED THE ELK AND WEST
ELK MOUNTAINS IN THE WINTER ADVISORY...BUT HAVE DELAYED THE ONSET
UNTIL NOON FOR THESE ZONES. MOISTURE IS NOT AS DEEP FROM NORTH TO
SOUTH SO SNOW WILL TAKE LONGER TO DEVELOP THERE. FEEL THAT DURATION
WILL BE TOO SHORT FOR THE SAN JUANS SO DID NOT INCLUDE THEM IN THIS
ROUND. INITIAL LIFT WILL BE PROVIDED BY SOME DECENT ISENTROPIC
UPGLIDE AHEAD OF THE WAVE...HELPED BY RELATIVELY WEAK OROGRAPHICS AND
A CONDITIONALLY UNSTABLE AIR MASS. THEN THE SHORTWAVE WILL PROVIDE
SOME DYNAMICS/INSTABILITY AS IT PASSES. ALSO BY THIS EVENING THE
MOISTURE WILL BE VERY DEEP ACROSS THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA SO THIS
PERIOD SHOULD SEE THE MOST ACTION. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN FAIRLY
MILD IN THE MOIST PACIFIC FLOW...SO VALLEYS WILL SEE RAIN OR A MIX
OF RAIN AND SNOW WHERE SHOWERS DEVELOP. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE OVER
THE NORTH WHERE PRECIPITATION SHOULD MAINLY BE FROZEN.

THEN WE SHOULD SEE A LULL IN THE ACTIVITY EARLY MONDAY AS A STRONGER
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TAKES AIM FROM THE WEST. THERE CONTINUES TO BE
SOME MODEL INCONSISTENCIES IN THE DETAILS...BUT IN GENERAL AGREEMENT
IS GOOD IN THE LARGER SCALE STORY. THIS LOW PRESSURE TROUGH WILL DROP
INTO THE GREAT BASIN ON MONDAY WITH SOUTHWEST FLOW DEVELOPING OVER
THE AREA. IT WILL NOT TAKE MUCH FOR SHOWERS TO FORM IN THE ALREADY
SATURATED AIR MASS. THE SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL STRENGTHEN THROUGH THE
DAY FOR IMPROVED OROGRAPHICS FAVORING THE SOUTHWEST MOUNTAINS. IN
ADDITION ONE VORT CENTER WILL SWING FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST...AND
REACH THE FOUR CORNERS EARLY IN THE AFTERNOON. ALONG WITH THE DAYTIME
HEATING THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH INSTABILITY FOR ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE AFTERNOON AND POSSIBLY INTO THE EVENING.
HOWEVER JUST WHERE THEY WILL FORM WILL BE TRICKY. THEN THE 700 MB LOW
WILL REACH NORTHEAST UTAH EARLY IN THE EVENING...AND TRACK EAST
ACROSS NORTHWEST COLORADO OVERNIGHT. EXPECT THAT THE HEAVIEST
PRECIPITATION WILL BE IN THE VICINITY OF THIS LOW AND ITS FINAL
TRACK COULD DETERMINE THE BIG WINNERS. AS THE FLOW SWITCHES TO THE
NORTHWEST BEHIND THE LOW...TEMPERATURES WILL DROP RESULTING IN THE
PHASE CHANGING TO ALL SNOW IN THE VALLEYS BY MORNING. SEE THE LONG
TERM DISCUSSION FOR MORE ABOUT THIS STORM PLAYS OUT THROUGH TUESDAY.
FOR THIS FORECAST PACKAGE HAVE ADDED THE EASTERN UINTA MOUNTAINS AND
THE MOUNTAINS NEAR STEAMBOAT SPRINGS TO THE WINTER STORM WATCH.

.LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...

MEDIUM RANGE MODELS WERE IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT THIS MORNING AND
HAVE SHOWED GOOD RUN-TO-RUN CONSISTENCY AS WELL. CONSEQUENTLY...
FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS HIGH AND LATEST FORECAST APPEARED TO BE WELL
ON TRACK.

TUESDAY-TUESDAY NIGHT: STORM ENTERS THE COLD ADVECTIVE...OROGRAPHIC
PHASE ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE LOW WHICH MOVES OVER THE AREA MONDAY
NIGHT. NORTHWEST WINDS AT 7H INDICATED TO BE AROUND 15 KTS WHICH...
WHEN COMBINED WITH SPECIFIC HUMIDITY AROUND 3.5 G/KG IN THE 750-700
LAYER...SHOULD CONTINUE TO BRING MODERATE SNOWFALL. MODELS CONTINUED
TO SHOW DRYING OCCURRING FAIRLY RAPIDLY DURING THE AFTERNOON...BUT
MODELS ROUTINELY TRY TO DRY IT OUT A BIT FAST SO WILL CONTINUE WITH
LIKELY POPS THROUGHOUT THE DAY. SNOW SHOULD BECOME MORE SCATTERED
TUESDAY NIGHT...HOWEVER GFS SHOWED A WEAK SHORTWAVE IN THE
NORTHWESTERLIES WHICH WILL LIKELY KEEP SCATTERED SHOWERS GOING
THROUGH THE NIGHT.

WEDNESDAY-THURSDAY: MODELS BUILD SHORTWAVE RIDGE OVER THE AREA AT
MIDWEEK...SO EXCEPT FOR A FEW LINGERING SNOW SHOWERS OVER THE
NORTHERN MOUNTAINS...LOOKING FOR DRY AND MILDER WEATHER.

FRIDAY-SATURDAY: SHOULD SEE A STEADY PROGRESSION OF DISTURBANCES
ACROSS THE NORTHERN PACIFIC OCEAN AND INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND
NORTHERN ROCKIES IN GENERALLY LOW AMPLITUDE FLOW. TIMING THESE WAVES
IS SOMEWHAT PROBLEMATIC AND THUS WILL KEEP A RATHER GENERIC SLIGHT
CHANCE OF SNOW ACROSS MAINLY THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS DURING THE
