AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
1036 AM MST TUE FEB 1 2011

.UPDATE...

UPDATED TO LET THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR THE EASTERN
MOUNTAINS AND ADJACENT PLAINS OF THE SOUTHERN I-25 CORRIDOR
EXPIRE. LIGHT SNOW IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE OVER THIS REGION
THROUGH THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON HOWEVER ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATIONS
WILL ONLY AMOUNT TO ABOUT AN INCH...WITH A COUPLE INCHES IN THE
HIGHER ELEVATIONS. TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO BE RUNNING FROM NEAR
ZERO TO 10 BELOW ZERO LATE THIS MORNING. WINDS HAVE BEEN GUSTING
FROM 25 TO 40 MPH. THESE WINDS HAVE COMBINED WITH THE VERY COLD
TEMPERATURES TO PRODUCE WIND CHILL VALUES OF 30 TO 45 BELOW ZERO.
PEOPLE SHOULD TAKE EXTREME CAUTION AND LIMIT OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES TO
PREVENT FROSTBITE. NO OTHER CHANGES TO THE FORECAST ARE EXPECTED
AT THIS TIME. MOZLEY

&&

.AVIATION...

WINDS HAVE BEEN GUSTING AT KCOS THIS MORNING AROUND 30 KTS AND
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON. NOT ANTICIPATING ANY MORE
SNOW AT KCOS...HOWEVER THE STRONG WINDS WILL LIKELY PRODUCE
PERIODS OF BLOWING SNOW WHICH MAY REDUCE VISIBILITIES AT TIMES ON
AREA RUNWAYS. CIGS HAVE BEEN SLOWLY RISING THIS MORNING AND WILL
LIKELY REMAIN AROUND 4 TO 6 KFT. EXPECT VFR AT KCOS THROUGH THE
REST OF THE AFTERNOON WITH BRIEF PERIODS OF BLOWING SNOW PRODUCING
BRIEF MVFR CONDITIONS.

WINDS ARE NOT AS STRONG AT KPUB...HOWEVER THEY HAVE BEEN GUSTING
AROUND 25 KTS. SNOW IS MOST LIKELY FINISHED AT KPUB AS WELL WITH
BLOWING SNOW PRODUCING BRIEF PERIODS OF MVFR. CIGS HAVE ALSO BEEN
ON THE RISE AT KPUB AND WILL REMAIN 3 TO 6 KFT THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON.

SNOWY CONDITIONS HAVE PREVAILED AT KALS THIS MORNING AND WILL
LIKELY DO SO THROUGH THIS EVENING. AIRPORT OBSERVATIONS HAVE
INDICATED VISIBILITIES DROPPING TO AROUND 1 SM AND CIGS AROUND 1
KFT. EXPECT THESE CONDITIONS TO PREVAIL OFF AND ON THROUGH THIS
EVENING WITH A COUPLE OF INCHES OF SNOW ACCUMULATION EXPECTED ON
AREA RUNWAYS. MOZLEY

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 430 AM MST TUE FEB 1 2011/

SHORT TERM...

(TODAY AND TONIGHT)

..COLD...REALLY COLD...

CURRENTLY...SNOWFALL COMING TO AN END OVER MOST OF THE EASTERN
MOUNTAINS AND PLAINS NORTH OF THE ARKANSAS RIVER...AS LAST BAND OF
LIGHT SNOW SINKS SOUTH OVER THE SANGRES AND SOUTHERN I-25 CORRIDOR.
ARCTIC AIR FIRMLY ENTRENCHED OVER THE AREA...WITH 11Z TEMPS NEAR OR
SLIGHTLY BELOW ZERO MANY LOCATIONS. WINDS GUSTING TO 20-25 KNOTS
OVER THE PLAINS ALONG AND EAST OF I-25 WERE PRODUCING WIND CHILLS IN
THE MINUS 20 TO MINUS 30 RANGE.

TODAY...WILL DROP WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR THE NORTHERN HALF OF
THE AREA WITH THE NEW FORECAST...BUT KEEP IT GOING THROUGH 18Z FOR
THE SANGRES/WETS/SRN I-25 CORRIDOR...WHERE AN ADDITIONAL INCH OR TWO
OF SNOW IS POSSIBLE. WILL ALSO KEEP THE ADVISORY GOING OVER THE SAN
JUANS/LA GARITAS THROUGH 00Z...AS LIFT AHEAD OF UPPER LOW SINKING
SOUTH OUT OF WYOMING WILL BE STRONGEST HERE...WITH AN ADDITIONAL 2-4
INCHES POSSIBLE. ELSEWHERE...MAY SEE SOME LIGHT SNOW/FLURRIES
REDEVELOP AFTER SUNRISE AS AIR MASS IS WEAKLY UNSTABLE...THOUGH ANY
ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATION WILL BE MINOR. MAY ALSO SEE SOME BRIEF
BREAKS IN THE OVERCAST EARLY THIS MORNING AS CLOUD SHIELD ASSOCIATED
WITH THE SOUTHERN PLAINS UPPER LOW PULLS AWAY...THOUGH EXPECT LOW
AND MID LEVEL CLOUDINESS TO REDEVELOP BY LATE MORNING AS FORECAST
SOUNDINGS REMAIN CLOSE TO SATURATION. LATEST NUMERICAL GUIDANCE
SUGGESTS LITTLE IF ANY WARMING OVER THE AREA TODAY...WITH STEADY OR
SLOWLY FALLING TEMPS BY AFTERNOON AS MAIN COLD POOL ALOFT ROTATES
SOUTH OVER THE STATE. COMBINATION OF TEMPS NEAR ZERO AND WINDS
GUSTING OVER 20 KNOTS WILL PRODUCE WIND CHILLS IN THE MINUS 20 TO
MINUS 30 RANGE THROUGH THE DAY...AND WILL THUS CONTINUE THE WIND
CHILL WARNING ALONG AND EAST OF I-25.

TONIGHT...UPPER LOW DRIFTS SOUTH ACROSS COLORADO...KEEPING BEST
UPWARD VERTICAL MOTION AND HEAVIER SNOWFALL SOUTH OF THE AREA OVER
NEW MEXICO. TOUGH TO RULE OUT OCCASIONAL LIGHT SNOW JUST ABOUT
ANYWHERE WITH SATURATED AIR MASS AND WEAK UPSLOPE...THOUGH ANY
ACCUMULATING SNOW WILL BE MINOR AND LIMITED TO AREAS NEAR THE NM
BORDER. MAIN CONCERN IS TEMPERATURES...WITH POTENTIAL CLEARING OVER
THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT. GUIDANCE MINS ARE
BRUTALLY COLD ALONG AND NORTH OF THE ARKANSAS RIVER...WITH POTENTIAL
LOWS IN THE MINUS 15 TO MINUS 25 RANGE OVER PUEBLO AND EL PASO
COUNTIES AND IN THE MINUS 20 TO MINUS 30 RANGE AROUND LAKE GEORGE
AND NEAR LEADVILLE...IF SKIES CLEAR.  STILL NOT CONVINCED WE'LL
CLEAR ENOUGH TO MAXIMIZE RADIATIONAL COOLING...SO WILL SHADE TOWARD
SLIGHTLY WARMER MET GUIDANCE MINS. WINDS WILL DIMINISH DURING THE
EVENING...THOUGH SPEEDS IN THE 5 TO 10 RANGE PLUS TEMPS WELL BELOW
ZERO WILL KEEP WIND CHILLS IN THE WARNING RANGE (MINUS 24 OR COLDER)
THROUGH THE NIGHT.  --10

LONG TERM...

(WEDNESDAY-MONDAY)

WEDNESDAY-THURSDAY NIGHT...COLD UPPER TROUGH ACROSS THE STATE EARLY
WEDNESDAY MORNING CONTINUES TO SLOWLY DIG SOUTH AND EAST AND OUT OF
THE AREA THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON WITH INCREASING NORTHERLY FLOW
ALOFT ACROSS THE REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY. LATEST MODELS
CONTINUE TO INDICATE A MINOR SHORT WAVE EMBEDDED WITHIN THE
NORTHERLY FLOW DIGGING ACROSS THE NORTHERN ROCKIES THURSDAY WHICH
THEN CONTINUES TO MOVE ACROSS THE STATE THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT. HAVE
KEPT ISOLATED TO LOW END SCATTERED POPS ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN
AND HIGH VALLEYS THROUGH THE DAY WEDNESDAY WITH THE BEST POPS ACROSS
THE SOUTHERN MTS WITH WEAK EASTERLY MID LEVEL FLOW SLOW BECOMING
MORE WESTERLY AS TROUGH AXIS CONTINUES TO DIG OUT ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS. HAVE ALSO ADDED AND INCREASED POPS ACROSS MAINLY
THE HIGHER TERRAIN THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING PASSING MINOR
WAVE. TEMPS TO REMAIN WELL BELOW SEASONAL AVERAGES WITH HIGHS
STRUGGLING TO GET OUT OF SINGLE DIGITS ON WEDNESDAY. WITH CLEARING
SKIES WILL LIKELY SEE TEMPS TANK EARLY WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH SOME
WARMING THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY MORNING...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE
HIGHER TERRAIN WITH SLOW WARMING ALOFT. HIGHS TRICKY ON THURSDAY
WITH WARMING ALOFT KEEPING SHARP INVERSIONS IN PLACE AND HAVE STAYED
AT OR BELOW GUIDANCE...ESPECIALLY ON THE FAR SE PLAINS WITH HIGHS IN
THE 20S AND 30S.

FRIDAY-MONDAY...MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE A FAIRLY UNSETTLED
PATTERN THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH SEVERAL HARD TO TIME SHORT WAVES
MOVING THROUGH THE MODERATE TO STRONG NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT ACROSS
THE REGION FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WITH A STRONGER SYSTEM DIGGING ACROSS
THE ROCKIES SUNDAY AND MONDAY. WITH THAT SAID...HAVE INTRODUCED
SLIGHT TO LOW END CHANCE POPS TO THE HIGHER TERRAIN FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY WITH TEMPS WARMING TO AROUND SEASONAL AVERAGES. FOR SUNDAY
AND MONDAY...HAVE KEPT MAINLY SLIGHT CHANCE POPS AREA WIDE WITH
BELOW AVERAGE TEMPERATURES EXPECTED AS MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE A
FAIRLY STRONG COLD FRONT MOVING ACROSS THE REGION...THOUGH HAVE
WAVERED ON THE WESTERN EXTENT OF THE COLDEST AIR. -MW

AVIATION...MOUNTAINS WILL CONTINUE TO BE OCCASIONALLY OBSCURED BY
CLOUDS/SNOW SHOWERS TODAY INTO TONIGHT...WITH CLEARING FROM NORTH TO
SOUTH LATE TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. FOR THE TAF SITES...EXPECT
MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS TODAY AND TONIGHT...THOUGH SOME BRIEF SNOW
SHOWERS COULD LOWER CIGS/VIS TO MVFR FOR A TIME BETWEEN 17Z-01Z.
