AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
1141 AM MDT SAT OCT 8 2011

.UPDATE...
WILL DROP HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE SANGRES AND WETS AS PRECIP HAS
TAPERED TO JUST A FEW -SHSN SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 50. KEPT HIGHLIGHTS
UP FOR A COUPLE MORE HOURS OVER THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AND ACROSS
TELLER COUNTY...SUSPECT WE'LL DROP THESE LATER THIS AFTERNOON AS
PRECIP SHIFTS NORTH.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1125 AM MDT SAT OCT 8 2011/

AVIATION...
UPPER LOW LIFTING NORTHWARD ACROSS COLORADO THIS MORNING...WITH
PRECIPITATION SHIELD SHIFTING NORTH AS WELL. OBS/WEB CAMS SUGGEST
SAN LUIS VALLEY AND SOUTHERN MOUNTAINS HAVE BEGUN TO CLEAR...AND
OTHER THAN A PASSING SPRINKLE/FLURRY...EXPECT KALS TO REMAIN VFR
THE REST OF TODAY. BACK EDGE OF PRECIP SHIELD WILL LIFT NORTH
THROUGH KPUB BY 18Z...WITH MVFR CIGS BECOMING VFR AS STEADY PRECIP
ENDS. IFR CONDITIONS DUE TO -SHSN WILL PERSIST THROUGH ABOUT 19Z
AT KCOS...THEN WEATHER IMPROVES WITH VFR CONDITIONS FORECAST TO
DEVELOP AROUND 20Z. MOUNTAINS WILL CONTINUE TO BE OCCASIONALLY
OBSCURED THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY NORTH OF HIGHWAY 50.
TONIGHT...MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS FORECAST AS PRECIP COMES TO AN
END...THOUGH MAY SEE SOME PATCHY GROUND FOG IN A FEW RIVER
VALLEYS...INCLUDING AREAS NEAR KPUB AND KALS. --10

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 444 AM MDT SAT OCT 8 2011/

SHORT TERM...
(TODAY AND TONIGHT)

.SNOW FOR THE HIGH COUNTRY TODAY...

UPPER LOW CURRENTLY WRAPPING UP ACROSS SW CO WITH DRY SLOT ADVANCING
NORTHWARD ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS.  BEST WINDOW OF FORCING WILL
BE NOW THROUGH 18Z ACROSS THE AREA...AND STARTING TO SEE ANOTHER
BAND OF SHOWERS EXPANDING NORTHWARD OFF THE SANGRES...WITH ECHOES
ROTATING WESTWARD ACROSS EASTERN FREMONT/WRN PUEBLO COUNTY AND EL
PASO COUNTIES.  NORTHEASTERLY SURFACE WINDS ARE INCREASING ACROSS
NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA...PROVIDING SOME UPSLOPE FOR THE NE
SLOPES ACROSS THE NRN AREAS...AND EXPECT THAT ECHOES WILL FILL IN ACROSS
NORTHEAST TELLER COUNTY AND WRN EL PASO AND PUEBLO COUNTIES IN THE
NEXT HOUR OR TWO.  ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE IN NAM INCREASES BETWEEN NOW AND
15Z WITH 00Z NAM AND GFS IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH WIDESPREAD
PCPN CONTINUING ACROSS THE MOUNTAIN AREAS THROUGH 18Z.  THERE IS
SOME CONCERN WITH THE DRY SLOT THAT SOUTHERN SANGRES MAY COME UP
SHORT WITH ADDITIONAL SNOWFALL THIS MORNING...BUT WITH CONVECTIVE
ECHOES FILLING BACK IN ACROSS THAT AREA...WILL MAINTAIN CURRENT
HIGHLIGHTS AS IS.  TEMPERATURES HAVE ALREADY FALLEN INTO THE LOWER
30S ACROSS THE LOWER ELEVATIONS OF TELLER COUNTY THIS MORNING...WITH
LOWER 30S GENERALLY ABOVE 9000 FEET ACROSS THE WETS...AND ABOVE 8500
FEET ACROSS THE SANGRES.  MUCH COLDER AIR HAS ALREADY MOVED IN OUT
WEST...CLOSER TO CLOSED LOW...WITH SNOW LEVELS HAVING ALREADY
DROPPED TO VALLEY FLOOR ACROSS THE SAN LUIS VALLEY.  ALL IN
ALL...CURRENT HIGHLIGHTS STILL LOOK GOOD...WITH ADVISORIES OUT FOR
ALL OF THE MOUNTAINS TODAY...WITH SOUTHERN MTN ADVISORIES ENDING AT
18Z...AND NORTHERN MTN ADVISORIES CONTINUING UNTIL 00Z.  HAVE
EXTENDED THE ADVISORIES FOR THE CENTRAL MTS AND ADDED ZONE 63
THROUGH 00Z...WHERE AREA MAY STAY UNDER WRAP AROUND PCPN A LITTLE
LONGER.  ALL IN ALL...STILL THINKING AROUND 3-8 INCHES FOR THE
ADVISORY AREAS.  HIGHEST PEAKS OF THE SANGRES...WETS...AND PIKES
PEAK SHOULD SEE A FOOT OR BETTER OF SNOWFALL BY STORMS END THIS
EVENING.  FOR THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS...DRY SLOT WILL RESULT IN A SHARP
GRADIENT BETWEEN WHERE PCPN FALLS AND WHERE IT RAPIDLY DRIES OUT
WITH SOME CLEARING SKIES.  WILL KEEP SCT TO ISOLATED POPS FOR THE
FAR EASTERN PLAINS.  NAM STILL SHOWS A BIT OF CAPE WRAPPING AROUND
NRN SIDE OF SFC LOW ACROSS FAR EASTERN COUNTIES...SO WILL MAINTAINS
SOME THUNDER IN THE FCST THROUGH THE MORNING ALONG THE CO/KS BORDER.

MAIN CONCERN FOR TONIGHT WILL BE POSSIBLE FREEZE FOR THE I-25
CORRIDOR AND ADJACENT PLAINS.  THIS WILL ALL DEPEND ON HOW QUICKLY
SKIES CLEAR AND WINDS DECOUPLE...BUT WITH H7 TEMPS PROGGED TO DROP
INTO THE -2 TO -4C OVERNIGHT ACROSS THIS AREA...ANY CLEARING COULD
LEAD TO A QUICK DROP IN TEMPS.  HAVE GONE ON THE COLDER SIDE OF
GUIDANCE FOR THESE AREAS...AND WILL BE PUTTING OUT A FREEZE WATCH
FOR TONIGHT.  FARTHER EAST...NORTHERLY WINDS SHOULD KEEP ATMOS MIXED
KEEPING TEMPS ABOVE FREEZING.  OTHERWISE...EXPECT ISOLATED LINGERING
SHOWERS TO DIMINISH FROM SOUTH TO NORTH THROUGH THE EVENING...WITH
LITTLE TO NO ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATIONS EXPECTED.  -KT

LONG TERM...
(SUNDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)

.BEAUTIFUL FALL WEATHER AHEAD...

SUNDAY WILL BE A TRANSITION DAY...AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES SLOWLY TO
THE NNE FROM CENTRAL CO TO NE CO DURING THE DAY. COULD SEE SOME LINGERING
SHSN OVR THE PIKES PEAK REGION AND UPPER ARKANSAS AREA DURING THE
EARLY MORNING HOURS...THEN A BIT OF A BREAK BEFORE WRAP AROUND
MOISTURE AND A BIT OF INSTABILITY RESULTS IN MORE SHWR ACTIVITY IN
THE AFTERNOON. QPF WILL GENERALLY BE LIGHT AND NOT EXPECTING MUCH IN
THE WAY OF SNOW ACCUMS...GENERALLY AN INCH OR LESS. IT WILL BE
FAIRLY CHILLY THOUGH...WITH H7 TEMPS PROBABLY NOT GETTING ABOVE ZERO
ALL DAY. HAVE CUT BACK A BIT ON AFTERNOON HIGHS...PARTICULARLY OVR
THE MTNS WHERE FRESH SNOW COVER WILL HOLD DOWN DAY TIME HEATING.
GENERALLY...EXPECT HIGHS IN THE 50S TO LOWER 60S OVR THE
PLAINS...AND 30S FOR THE MTNS.

WINDS ALOFT WILL TURN WESTERLY ON MON...AND WILL SEE A GOOD REBOUND
IN TEMPS...WITH HIGHS PROBABLY REACHING THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S
FOR THE PLAINS. MONDAY SHOULD STAY DRY FOR ALL OF SE CO AS SKIES
CLEAR BEHIND THE DEPARTING STORM SYSTEM. A WEAK SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE
THRU THE NRN ROCKIES LATE TUE AFTERNOON INTO TUE NIGHT...AND THIS
MIGHT KICK OFF A FEW MTN SHWRS...PARTICULARLY FOR THE ZONES N OF
HGHWY 50...BUT AFTER THIS SYSTEM PASSES THE BALANCE OF THE WEEK
LOOKS DRY AND QUITE COMFORTABLE AS A STRONG RIDGE BUILDS OVR THE
WESTERN HALF OF THE NATION. FRI-SAT LOOKS LIKE THE WARMEST PERIOD AS
THE UPPER RIDGE AXIS PASSES AND SW FLOW MOVES INTO CO. THE NEXT
CHANCE OF PRECIP WONT COME UNTIL LATE SAT AT THE EARLIEST. 44

AVIATION...

EXPECT MVFR CIGS FOR THE TAF SITES THROUGH THE
MORNING...WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF IFR CIGS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO KCOS
BY 12Z AS STEADY SHOWERS MOVE IN.  COULD SEE A PERIOD OF
RAIN/SNOW MIX AT THE KCOS AIRPORT LATER THIS MORNING...BUT ANY SNOW
SHOULD MELT ON CONTACT WITH THE SFC WITH LITTLE OR NO ACCUMULATION
EXPECTED.  KPUB SHOULD ALSO SEE CIGS LOWERING THROUGH THE MORNING
WITH -SHRA MOVING IN...BUT THINK CIGS WILL STAY JUST ABOVE IFR
CATEGORY.  BOTH KCOS AND KPUB WILL SEE A PERIOD OF GUSTY NORTH TO
NORTHWEST WINDS 15 TO 25 KTS THROUGH THE LATE MORNING/EARLY
AFTERNOON.  KALS WILL SEE MVFR TO BRIEF IFR CIGS/VIS THROUGH THE
MORNING WITH PASSING SNOW SHOWERS.  ACCUMULATIONS OF AN INCH OR
TWO...MAINLY ON THE GRASS CAN BE EXPECTED THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING.
EXPECT IMPROVING CONDITIONS AFTER 18Z FOR ALL TAF SITES...WITH
CLEARING SKIES EXPECTED TONIGHT. -KT
