AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND JUNCTION CO
1217 AM MST WED FEB 29 2012

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1207 AM MST WED FEB 29 2012

THE OVERALL THREAT OF SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL HAS ENDED LATE THIS
EVENING AND HAVE ALLOWED THE WINTER HEADLINES TO EXPIRE. HOWEVER
INSTABILITY AND OROGRAPHICS HELPING TO KEEP SOME MODERATE SNOW
SHOWERS GOING FROM NEAR ASPEN BACK TO VAIL PASS AND EVEN MONTROSE
AREA...WHERE WEB CAMS SHOWING SOME DECENT SNOW RATES. EXPECT THIS
TO CONTINUE TO TAPER OFF AS THE CHANNELIZED VORTICITY CONTINUES TO
SWING EAST OF THE ROCKIES. ON THE BACK SIDE OF THIS LIFT WEAK
WARM AIR ADVECTION SEEMS TO BE ADDING SOME LIFT TO THE SOUTHERN
MOUNTAINS SO LINGERER POPS ACROSS THE EARLY MORNING HOURS AS WELL.
LASTLY INCREASED CLOUD COVER ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST IN THE WAA
REGIME OF PASSING SHORT WAVE RIDGE.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 932 PM MST TUE FEB 28 2012

THE TROUGH AXIS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LATEST STORM TO IMPACT THE AREA
HAS PUSHED EAST OF THE DIVIDE LEAVING MOIST NORTHWEST FLOW IN ITS
WAKE. DYNAMIC FORCING IS LIMITED...HOWEVER NORTHWEST WINDS OF 15 TO
20 MPH AND LAPSE RATES HOVERING AROUND 7.5 DEG/KM WILL CONTINUE TO
GENERATE SNOW OVER THE DIVIDE MOUNTAINS. THEREFORE...WILL CONTINUE
WARNINGS FOR THE WESTERN COLORADO MOUNTAINS THROUGH MIDNIGHT. DID
LET GO OF ADVISORIES OVER THE LOWER ELEVATIONS OF THE NORTHWEST
...THE I-70 CORRIDOR AND THE ROAN AND UNCOMPAHGRE PLATEAUS WHERE
SUBSIDENCE AND DRYING HAS ENDED ALL BUT A FEW LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS.
DRYING TREND WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT WHICH CURRENT FORECAST SEEMS
TO HANDLE WELL.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 620 PM MST TUE FEB 28 2012

UPDATED TO ALLOW WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES TO EXPIRE ACROSS THE
MOUNTAINS OF SOUTHEAST UTAH AND THE FOUR CORNERS REGION OF
SOUTHWEST COLORADO. IN ADDITION...CANCELLED THE WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORIES FOR THE EASTERN UINTA MOUNTAINS AND EXTREME NORTHWEST
COLORADO A BIT EARLY. SATELLITE AND RADAR CONFIRMED DRYING AND
SUBSIDENCE HAD BEGUN TO WORK ACROSS EASTERN UTAH AND PORTIONS OF
WESTERN COLORADO. HOWEVER...OROGRAPHICS AND INSTABILITY WILL
CONTINUE TO BRING SNOW SHOWERS TO THE DIVIDE MOUNTAINS AND
ADJACENT VALLEYS. THEREFORE...WILL CONTINUE ADVISORIES AND
WARNINGS FOR THOSE AREAS.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 207 PM MST TUE FEB 28 2012

COLD FRONT AND UPPER LEVEL TROUGH ARE CURRENTLY MOVING ACROSS THE
CWA WITH THE FRONT MEANDERING SOUTHEASTWARD FROM STEAMBOAT
SPRINGS SWRD TO I-70 CORRIDOR THEN DOWN TO MOAB.  RADAR MOSAIC
SHOWING SEVERAL CONVECTIVE BANDS SETTING UP WITH CORRESPONDING HEAVY
SNOW SHOWERS BENEATH AS OBS SITES SHOWING ANYWHERE FROM NO SNOW...TO
MDT SNOW...TO HEAVY SNOW ACROSS THE AREA.  IN FACT...A FEW LIGHTNING
STRIKES HAVE BEEN REPORTED JUST SW OF MOAB IN RESPONSE TO STRONG
VERTICAL MOTIONS AND UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE ASSOD WITH TROF/COLD
FRONT.  AS THIS FEATURE MOVES EWRD...THE OCCNL LIGHTNING STRIKE
REMAINS POSSIBLE AND SO REMAINS IN FORECAST.

CURRENT HIGHLIGHTS LOOK TO BE IN GOOD SHAPE FOR THE TIME BEING SO
MADE LITTLE CHANGE TO GRIDS.  ONLY POSSIBLE CHANGE MAY BE
PRECIPITATION ENDING SLIGHTLY EARLIER THAN ORIGINALLY THOUGHT.
EITHER WAY...SNOWFALL SHOULD SLOWLY START TAPERING OFF FROM WEST TO
EAST AT SUNSET AS UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT...MIDLEVEL FORCING...SFC LOW
AND FRONT SCOOT TO THE EAST-NORTHEAST.  THAT BEING SAID...TWO AREAS
ARE EXPECTED TO SEE SNOW CONTINUE FOR THE OVERNIGHT:  THE NORTHERN
AND CENTRAL MOUNTAINS.  WITH TROUGH AND COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE...OUR
WINDS WILL BACK TO THE NW ALLOWING FAVORABLE OROGRAPHIC SNOW TO KICK
IN FOR THE NW FACING SLOPES AS HEAVIER SNOW SHOWERS SHIFT NWRD FROM
THE SAN JUANS TO THE CENTRAL AND NRN MTNS.

BY WED MORNING...MOST PRECIP WILL HAVE ENDED WITH VERY ISOLD SHOWERS
OVER CONTINENTAL DIVIDE.  THIS LULL WILL BE VERY SHORTLIVED THOUGH
AS THE NEXT SYSTEM DROPS DOWN FROM THE NW BRINGING ANOTHER CHANCE
FOR PRECIP AS EARLY AS WED AFTN FOR THE ERN UINTAS BEFORE
OVERSPREADING THE REMAINDER OF THE CWA AS DISCUSSED BELOW.

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 207 PM MST TUE FEB 28 2012

CLOSED LOW OFF THE NORTHWEST COAST WEDNESDAY WILL MOVE INLAND AND
BEGIN TO CARVE OUT A LONG WAVE TROF OVER THE ENTIRE WEST WEDNESDAY
NIGHT AND THURSDAY. THIS WILL BRING THE NEXT EPISODE OF SIGNIFICANT
SNOWFALL TO THE REGION LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MID-DAY FRIDAY.
MOISTURE IS NOT AS ABUNDANT WITH THIS SYSTEM IN TERMS OF SPECIFIC
HUMIDITY...BUT TEMPS ARE MUCH COLDER AND THE DURATION OF THIS
EVENT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL LAST AT LEAST 24 HRS. OVERALL QG FORCING
AND OROGRAPHIC LIFT LOOKS PRETTY GOOD. AGREE WITH THE PREVIOUS
SHORT TERM FORECASTER THAT HIGHLIGHTS WILL PROBABLY BE
NECESSARY...BUT WITH CURRENT HIGHLIGHTS THAT MAY BE CONFUSING. SO
WILL ISSUE A SPECIAL WX STATEMENT FOR THE TIME BEING. PRECIP WILL
START ACROSS THE NORTH WEDNESDAY NIGHT THEN GRADUALLY SPREAD
SOUTHWARD TO INCLUDE THE SRN MTNS DURING THE DAY THURSDAY AS THE
SURFACE COLD FRONT PUSHES SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE REGION
THURSDAY. TIMING OF THE HEAVIEST PRECIP LOOKS LIKE IT WILL OCCUR
THUR IN BOTH THE PREFRONTAL AND POST FRONTAL ENVIRONMENT. A NICE
SIGNATURE OF JET LEVEL DIVERGENCE IS SEEN LASTING FROM LATE WED
NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...BEFORE THE JET SINKS SWRD INTO NEW
MEXICO. GIVEN THE STRENGTH AND DURATION OF THIS EVENT AS IT IS
CURRENTLY DEPICTED BY THE MODELS IT SEEMS LIKE WARNING AMOUNT
SNOWFALL MAY OCCUR OVER THE NRN AND CNTRL MTNS...POSSIBLY
EXTENDING SOUTHWARD TO INCLUDE THE NRN SAN JUANS. WITH OVERALL
LOWER TEMPS THERE IS ALSO A POTENTIAL THAT SOME VALLEY LOCATIONS
MAY NEED HIGHLIGHTS AS WELL...BUT THAT IS NOT PARTICULARLY RESOLVABLE
RIGHT NOW.

HIGH POTENTIAL INSTABILITY AND NORTHWESTERLY OROGRAPHIC WINDS
FRIDAY WILL COMBINE TO KEEP LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS OVER THE NRN AND
CNTRL MTNS. HOWEVER THE AIRMASS WILL BE VERY DRY AND COLD LIMITING
ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATIONS DESPITE THE LOW DENSITY OF THE SNOWFALL.
IT WILL ALSO BE SPOTTY AND CONVECTIVE IN NATURE.

A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE JUST OFF THE WEST COAST SATURDAY
PROVIDING AN UNSTABLE NORTHWESTERLY FLOW WHICH WILL GENERATE A FEW
FLURRIES OVER THE NRN MTNS AND EXTENDING SOUTHWARD TO NEAR VAIL
PASS. THE RIDGE LINE WILL THEN SHIFT EASTWARD INTO THE GRT BASIN
SUNDAY BRINGING MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS. THE RIDGE BECOMES FLATTENED
BY STORM ENERGY ENTERING THE PACIFIC NW MONDAY AND TUESDAY AS OUR
FLOW ALOFT BACKS TO THE WEST-SOUTHWEST WITH GENERALLY DRY
CONDITIONS. CONFIDENCE STARTS TO DECREASE HOWEVER AS MID-RANGE
MODELS BEGIN TO SHOW SIGNIFICANT DIVERGENCE IN SOLUTIONS.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z WEDNESDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 932 PM MST TUE FEB 28 2012

SNOW WILL DECREASE ALONG THE DIVIDE MOUNTAINS OVERNIGHT THOUGH
POCKETS OF SNOW AND MIST WILL RESULT IN AREAS OF MOUNTAIN
OBSCURATION THROUGH 12Z WEDNESDAY. ISOLATED LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS MAY
BRING BRIEF PERIODS OF MVFR CIGS AND/OR VSBY TO AIRPORTS EAST OF A
KCAG-KEGE-KMTJ-KDRO LINE THROUGH 09Z. FROM 09Z TO 16Z...POCKETS OF
VALLEY FOG MAY RESULT IN MVFR OR BRIEF PERIODS OF IFR CONDITIONS
TO AIRPORTS EAST OF THE LINE DELINEATED ABOVE. AREAS WEST OF THIS
LINE WILL HAVE VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT
THROUGH MIDDAY WEDNESDAY.

ANOTHER SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO AFFECT THE AREA WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON
BRINGING LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS TO THE NORTHEAST UTAH AND NORTHWEST
AND CENTRAL COLORADO MOUNTAINS THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING. THIS
ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED BY LIGHTER AND MORE SCATTERED IN NATURE AS
COMPARED TO THE LAST STORM TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA. AS A RESULT...
MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS WILL BE PATCHY AND MORE WIDELY DISPERSED.
AIRPORTS ADJACENT TO THESE MOUNTAIN AREAS ARE UNLIKELY TO SEE ANY
DEGRADATION OF FLIGHT CATEGORIES. OUTSIDE OF THE NORTHERN AND
CENTRAL MOUNTAINS...VFR CONDITIONS WILL BE THE RULE TUESDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
