.AVIATION...

VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED DURING THE NEXT 24H AT KCOS...KPUB AND
KALS. SFC WIND FLOW WILL BE DIURNALLY DRIVEN.

MAJOR CHANGES ARE STILL EXPECTED TO OCCUR STARTING WEDNESDAY NIGHT
AND LASTING INTO THE WEEKEND.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 454 AM MST TUE NOV 29 2011/

SHORT TERM...
(TODAY AND TONIGHT)

CURRENTLY...THE UPPER SHORTWAVE WAS MOVING TO THE SE ACROSS COLORADO
EARLY THIS MORNING...PRODUCING AN EXTENSIVE AMOUNT OF MID AND HIGH
LEVEL CLOUDINESS FOR THE CWA. WINDS HAVE BEEN IN THE 5-10 MPH
RANGE...AND THE CLOUD COVER HAS HELPED TO KEEP THE TEMPS FROM
DROPPING TOO LOW...AT LEAST SO FAR. TEMPS RANGED FROM THE MID 20S TO
LOWER 30S ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA AS OF 4 AM.

TODAY AND TONIGHT...CLOUD COVER ACROSS THE AREA SHOULD START MOVING
OUT BETWEEN 9 AND 10 AM THIS MORNING AS THE UPPER DISTURBANCE PASSES
OUT OF THE REGION...WITH N-NW FLOW ALOFT THEN SETTLING IN FOR A COOL
BUT SUNNY DAY. MAX TEMPS THIS AFTN ARE EXPECTED TO WARM INTO THE
UPPER 40S TO LOWER 50S. LOOK FOR OVERNIGHT MIN TEMPS TO DROP DOWN
UNDER CLEAR SKIES TO 20-25 F FOR THE PLAINS...TEENS TO SINGLE DIGITS
FOR THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS AND VALLEYS. 27

LONG TERM...
(WEDNESDAY THROUGH NEXT TUESDAY)

STILL GOOD DEAL OF MODEL DISAGREEMENT ON THE EVOLUTION OF THE
UPPER LOW OVER THE WESTERN U.S. FROM WED NIGHT INTO THE
WEEKEND...WITH NAM FARTHER EAST...ECMWF MUCH FARTHER WEST WHILE
GFS SOLUTION IS SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN. IN GENERAL...FOLLOWED A
GFS/ECMWF BLEND FROM THU INTO THE WEEKEND...THEN GFS EARLY NEXT
WEEK.

WEDNESDAY LOOKS WARM AHEAD OF THE UPPER TROUGH...WITH DOWNSLOPE
WESTERLY FLOW BOOSTING MAXES INTO THE 50S AND 60S ACROSS THE
PLAINS. CHANGES COME QUICKLY WED NIGHT...AS UPPER LOW DROPS SOUTH
THROUGH THE GREAT BASIN...WHILE COLD FRONT RACES QUICKLY
SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE STATE WED EVENING. LIFT INCREASES
AREAWIDE AFTER MIDNIGHT...WHICH SHOULD PRODUCE FAIRLY WIDESPREAD
LIGHT SNOW OVER MOST LOCATIONS BY EARLY THU MORNING. WILL DISREGARD
THE NAM SOLUTION ON THU...WHICH SHOWS 40-50 KNOT NORTHEAST UPSLOPE
WINDS AND VERY HEAVY SNOW OVER THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS...AND INSTEAD
TREND TOWARD THE LIGHTER PRECIP IN THE GFS/ECMWF SOLUTIONS. WHILE
SNOW AMOUNTS LOOK MOSTLY SUB-ADVISORY...MAY SEE ENOUGH WIND OVER
THE PLAINS FOR A SNOW/BLOWING SNOW HIGHLIGHT...AS STRONG COLD
ADVECTION KEEPS WINDS GOING WELL INTO THE AFTERNOON THU. MAX TEMPS
THU LIKELY TO OCCUR NEAR MIDNIGHT...WITH STEADY OR FALLING
READINGS DURING THE DAY...LEADING TO READINGS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS
MANY LOCATIONS BY EARLY EVENING.

EXPECT SNOW TO DIMINISH THU EVENING...AS UPWARD MOTION FADES AWAY
WITH UPPER LOW DRIFTING WESTWARD OVER ARIZONA. CLEARING SKIES WILL
LEAD TO VERY COLD TEMPS BY FRIDAY MORNING...SINGLE DIGITS ABOVE
ZERO LOWER ELEVATIONS...WHILE MOUNTAINS AND HIGH VALLEYS FALL A
FEW DEGREES BELOW ZERO. FORECAST THEN BECOMES A WAITING GAME FROM
FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND...AS UPPER LOW REMAINS BURIED OVER THE
SOUTHWEST. IN GENERAL...EXPECT SOME MODEST WARMING FRI AS SURFACE
HIGH DRIFTS EASTWARD AND PRESSURE BEGINS TO FALL OVER THE PLAINS.
SHORT WAVE ENERGY DIVING INTO THE WESTERN TROUGH FRI NIGHT DRIVES
ANOTHER COLD FRONT SOUTH THROUGH COLORADO BY SATURDAY
MORNING...PRODUCING ANOTHER ROUND OF LIGHT SNOW ACROSS MUCH OF THE
REGION SAT. GFS SUGGESTS TROUGH WILL BE STRONG ENOUGH TO KICK THE
SOUTHWEST UPPER LOW EASTWARD...WITH ENHANCED UPWARD MOTION OVER
THE AREA SAT/SAT EVENING. ECMWF ROUGHLY SIMILAR...THOUGH IT'S
UPPER ENERGY DIVES FAR ENOUGH WEST THAT NEW UPPER LOW FORMS OVER
THE DESERT SOUTHWEST SAT NIGHT. FOR NOW...WILL UP POPS FOR THE
DAYTIME HOURS SAT OVER MOST OF THE AREA...THEN GRADUALLY END
PRECIP SAT NIGHT/SUN. SUPPOSE EASTERN MOUNTAINS/PLAINS COULD SEE
SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW IF SYSTEMS PHASE AND TIMING IS
RIGHT...THOUGH BEST BET FOR HEAVY SNOW MAY END UP JUST EAST AND
SOUTH OF THE REGION...SIMILAR TO GFS DEPICTION. WILL CERTAINLY BE
COLD MOST LOCATIONS SAT/SUN...WITH READINGS IN THE 30S AT BEST
OVER LOWER ELEVATIONS...20S AND COLDER MOUNTAINS. WILL TREND
TOWARD THE GFS FROM SUN INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH A SLOW
DRYING/WARMING TREND. ECMWF OFFERS A MORE UNSETTLED SOLUTION WITH
OLD CUT-OFF WANDERING OVER THE SOUTHWEST U.S...BUT NOT WILLING TO
BITE ON THIS IDEA YET. --10

AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR THE NEXT 24 HRS AT THE 3
MAIN TAF SITES OF KCOS...KPUB AND KALS.
