NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND JUNCTION CO
1036 AM MDT TUE MAY 22 2012
.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 319 AM MDT TUE MAY 22 2012
THE 00Z MODELS REMAIN IN REMARKABLE AGREEMENT WITH ONLY A FEW
CHANGES NEEDED TO THE FORECAST DETAILS.
SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL CONTINUE TODAY USHERING IN VERY WARM
TEMPERATURES...APPROACHING RECORD HIGHS...AND PLENTY OF SUNSHINE.
AS THIS OCCURS...THE FIRST IN A SERIES OF SYSTEMS TO AFFECT UT AND
CO WILL TIGHTEN UP THE PRESSURE GRADIENT CAUSING GUSTY SURFACE
WINDS FOR ALMOST THE ENTIRE CWA. THE LACK OF ANY MOISTURE IN THE
AREA WILL ALSO KEEP HUMIDITIES VERY LOW. BECAUSE OF THIS...THE
CURRENT RED FLAG WARNING IS ON TRACK AS IS THE FIRE WEATHER WATCH
FOR TOMORROW AS DESCRIBED IN THE FIRE WEATHER SECTION BELOW.
TUESDAY NIGHT THE UPPER LOW TRACKS QUICKLY ACROSS SOUTHERN ALBERTA
AND SASKATCHEWAN WITH ONLY SHEARING ENERGY LEFT IN ITS WAKE THIS FAR
SOUTH. THE ASSOCIATED WEAKENING FRONT STILL IS PROGGED TO WORK
THROUGH THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA BECOMING STALLED
SOMEWHERE NEAR THE I-70 CORRIDOR. GRADIENT RELAXES ACROSS THE NORTH
WHILE SOUTH OF THE FRONT MIXING WILL CONTINUE OVER HIGHER TERRAIN
AND OCCASIONALLY IN FAVORED VALLEYS. TEMPERATURES WILL BE MILD ALONG
AND SOUTH OF THE FRONT OVERNIGHT. LOWERED POPS NORTH OF THE FRONT
WITH ONLY LIGHT SHOWERS POSSIBLE NEAR THE WYOMING BORDER TOWARDS
SUNRISE.
WEDNESDAY A SECOND STRONGER DISTURBANCE RIDES DOWN THE 115KT JET
PASSING ACROSS THE NORTH. A SECOND COLD FRONT WORKS IN FROM UTAH
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON BRINGING COLD ADVECTION TO THE ENTIRE FORECAST
AREA. MOISTURE INCREASES ESPECIALLY OVER THE NORTHERN-CENTRAL
COLORADO MTNS.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT THE -22C COLD CORE RAKES THE NORTH WITH THE JET
REMAINING OVER THE NORTHERN FORECAST AREA. LIGHT SHOWERS MAY LINGER OVER
THE NORTH TO CENTRAL MOUNTAINS OF COLORADO THOUGH THE NIGHT.
WINDS DIMINISH QUICKLY ACROSS THE NORTH FOR STRONG INVERSIONS AND
COOL OVERNIGHT LOWS. STRONGER GRADIENT SOUTH WILL KEEP SURFACE
INVERSIONS WEAKER. THURSDAY THE JET EXITS INTO SE WYOMING. A
DEFORMATION ZONE REMAINS STRETCHED ACROSS THE NORTH BUT LOSS OF
DYNAMICS...WEAK WARM ADVECTION AND MARGINAL MOISTURE WILL LIMIT
LIGHT SHOWERS TO THE NORTHERN MTNS.
.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 319 AM MDT TUE MAY 22 2012
A 130KT JET STREAK WILL BE DIGGING SWRD OVER CALIF AT START OF
LONG-TERM CAUSING ANOTHER AREA OF LOW PRESSURE AND ASSOD TROF TO
TAKE AIM AT OUR CWA. ONCE AGAIN...THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL
TIGHTEN AHEAD OF THE LOW PRESSURE WITH SOME ISOLD SHOWERS/TSTORMS
EXPECTED...MORE FOR AREAS N OF I-70 FRI AFTN. MODELS CONTINUE TO
HIGHLIGHT H7 WINDS UPWARDS OF 50KTS AND WITH MIXING PROGGED TO
REACH ABOVE 600MB...STRONG GUSTY WINDS CAN BE EXPECTED FOR ERN UT
AND WRN CO. MODELS STILL IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT BEST ISENTROPIC
UPGLIDE (WARM FRONT) WILL SET UP OVER WY KEEPING UT AND CO
RELATIVELY PRECIP FREE THROUGH SUNDAY THOUGH SOME SHOWERS ARE
POSSIBLE ALONG WY BORDER.
BY SUNDAY EVENING...THE UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT WILL HAVE RUSHED
UPWARDS INTO CANADA ALLOWING THE CLOSED LOW TO OPEN UP AND TRAIL A
TROF ACROSS THE GREAT BASIN. AS THE TROF MOVES EWRD...UNSETTLED WX
IS EXPECTED FOR MAINLY AREAS N OF I-70 WITH SOME LGT SHOWERS AND
STORMS STILL POSSIBLE. BY MONDAY EVENING...ZONAL FLOW WILL SET UP
AND BULK OF PRECIP WILL BE WELL TO OUR EAST.
TEMPS THROUGH THE PERIOD SHOULD BE RIGHT AROUND NORMAL FOR THIS
TIME OF YEAR WITH HIGHS IN VALLEYS IN THE UPPER 70S TO LOW 80S AND
UPPER 60S TO LOW 70S FOR HIGHER POPULATED ELEVATIONS.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1036 AM MDT TUE MAY 22 2012
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH 09Z WEDNESDAY SOUTH OF A COLD
FRONT SLOWLY DROPPING SOUTHWARD ACROSS NORTHERN UT AND SOUTHERN
WY. HOWEVER...SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL PICK UP FROM LATE THIS MORNING
INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON RANGING FROM 15 TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS AS
HIGH AS 35 MPH AT TIMES...ESPECIALLY OVER HIGHER TERRAIN. WINDS
WILL DECREASE OVER MOST AREAS DURING THE NIGHT...HOWEVER
PROXIMITY OF THE FRONT SHOULD SUSTAIN WINDS ACROSS NORTHEAST UTAH
AND NORTHWEST COLORADO THROUGH THE NIGHT.
THE FRONT ITSELF WILL SLOWLY SAG SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE NORTHERN
HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA...STALLING IN THE MOUNTAINS NORTH OF THE
I-70 CORRIDOR BY 18Z WEDNESDAY. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST
WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE FRONT. MEANWHILE...CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION
WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE OVER THE NORTHERN UTAH AND COLORADO
MOUNTAINS AFTER 09Z WITH SHOWERS BECOMING SCATTERED IN COVERAGE
BY MIDDAY WEDNESDAY. IT IS UNLIKELY THAT SHOWERS WILL IMPACT
AIRPORTS ACROSS THE NORTHERN PART OF THE FORECAST AREA...THOUGH
PERIODS OF MOUNTAIN OBSCURATION NORTH OF THE I-70 CORRIDOR ARE
NEAR CERTAIN.

.FIRE WEATHER...
PREVIOUSLY ISSUED AT 342 PM MDT MON MAY 21 2012
STRONG HEATING TUESDAY AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING FRONT WILL
PUSH TEMPERATURES WELL ABOVE NORMAL...AND IN RESPONSE ALLOW
HUMIDITY LEVELS TO DROP INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS TO LOWER TEENS
OVER MOST OF WESTERN COLORADO. IN ADDITION...UPPER LEVEL WINDS
WILL BE INCREASING AND MIXED DOWN TO THE SURFACE BY THE STRONG
HEATING. THIS WILL CREATE RED FLAG CONDITIONS AS WINDS GUST IN THE
25 TO 40 MPH RANGE OVER AREAS WHERE FUELS ARE IN A READY TO BURN
STATE. THE COLD FRONT WILL MOST LIKELY WAIT UNTIL LATE EVENING TO
DROP THROUGH NORTHWEST COLORADO...STALLING NEAR I-70 BY SUNRISE ON
WEDNESDAY. ALONG AND NORTH OF THIS FRONT SCATTERED SHOWERS CAN BE
EXPECTED ALONG WITH COOLER TEMPERATURES WHICH WILL BRING SOME
RELIEF TO THE ELEVATED FIRE DANGER CONDITIONS . TO THE SOUTH OF
THE FRONT WARM AND GUSTY CONDITIONS CAN STILL BE EXPECTED AND
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL MOST LIKELY BE REALIZED FOR
ANOTHER AFTERNOON. CONFIDENCE IS LOW DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF THE
FRONT BUT CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS COULD SNEAK FARTHER
NORTH INTO FIRE ZONES 203 AND 293 ON WEDNESDAY AND WILL CONTINUE
TO BE MONITORED. CONDITIONS MAY TEMPORARILY IMPROVE ON
THURSDAY...BUT STRENGTHENING WINDS INTO THE FRIDAY AND THE WEEKEND
WILL KEEP FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS ELEVATED.
