AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
251 PM MDT WED OCT 3 2012

.SHORT TERM...
(TONIGHT AND THURSDAY)

...STRONG COLD FRONT ON THE WAY...

A FAST MOVING COLD FRONT WILL SHIFT SOUTH ACROSS SOUTHERN COLORADO
THIS EVENING...ACCOMPANIED BY GUSTY NORTH WINDS 25 TO 35 MPH GUSTING
OVER 50 MPH AND FALLING TEMPERATURES.  AIRMASS IS DRY AND HAS VERY
LITTLE UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT...SO LITTLE...IF ANY...PRECIPITATION IS
EXPECTED WITH THIS FRONTAL SYSTEM.  COMBINATION OF WINDS AND DRY AIR
SHOULD PRECLUDE MUCH FROST FORMATION EARLY THURSDAY.  SO...DESPITE
LOWS THAT MAY DIP TO NEAR 32 DEGREES OVER PARTS OF NORTHERN EL
PASO COUNTY BY MORNING...WILL HOLD OFF ON ANY HIGHLIGHTS FOR
TONIGHT.  COULD BE SOME AREAS OF LOW CLOUDS BANKED UP AGAINST THE
MOUNTAINS EARLY THURSDAY...BUT IF THEY DO OCCUR...THEY SHOULDN'T
LAST TOO LONG.  WHAT WILL LAST IS THE COOL AIR ON THE EASTERN
PLAINS.  TEMPERATURES WILL DROP ABOUT 30 DEGREES OVER THE EAST ON
THURSDAY...WITH HIGHS ACROSS THE PLAINS MOSTLY IN THE 50S...READINGS
THAT ARE ABOUT 20 DEGREES BELOW AVERAGE FOR EARLY OCTOBER.  NOT AS
MUCH COOL AIR MAKES IT INTO THE MOUNTAINS AND HIGH VALLEYS.  HIGHS
WILL BE COOLER THERE TOO...BUT ONLY BY ABOUT 5 TO 10 DEGREES. LW

.LONG TERM...
(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY)

...TASTE OF WINTER ON SATURDAY...

LATEST GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SUPPORT A COLD AND SNOWY SATURDAY
ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST COLORADO. THIS WILL BE THE HIGHLIGHT
OF A STRETCH OF RAPIDLY CHANGING WX AND UNSETTLED CONDITIONS
FAIRLY TYPICAL OF EARLY FALL IN COLORADO.

THURSDAY NIGHT...EXPECT CLEARING CONDITIONS FOLLOWING THE FIRST PUSH
OF COLD AIR ACROSS THE AREA. NAM AND GFS CONTINUE TO INDICATE SOME
LIGHT SPOTTY QPF OVER THE PIKES PEAK REGION...WETS...AND UPPER
ARKANSAS VALLEY. SO...WILL LEAVE LOW POPS THERE FOR THU EVE...BUT
SUSPECT ANY PRECIP WILL BE VERY LIGHT AND LOCALIZED. IF ENOUGH
CLEARING OCCURS EARLY THU NIGHT...COULD SEE SOME VERY LOW TEMPS
BY FRI MORNING ACROSS THE PLAINS. NAM-BASED MOS GUIDANCE SUGGESTS
THE POTENTIAL FOR LOWER 20S IN SPOTS. HAVE STAYED CLOSER TO WARMER
GFS GUIDANCE...BUT THAT WILL STILL MEAN WIDESPREAD FREEZING TEMPS.
WILL ISSUE A FREEZE WATCH FOR THE NORTHERN I-25 CORRIDOR...INCLUDING
EL PASO...PUEBLO...OTERO...AND CROWLEY COUNTIES. THIS MAY HAVE TO BE
EXPANDED SOMEWHAT IF LATER MODEL RUNS CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN THE COLDER
TREND IN TEMPS.

THE SECOND STRONGER COLD FRONT WILL ARRIVE SOMETIME FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
THE NAM IS THE COLDEST MODEL FOR SAT...BRINGING H7 TEMPS AS LOW AS
MINUS 10 TO THE AREA...WHICH IS MORE TYPICAL OF JANUARY WX. THE NAM
HAS SUPPORT FROM THE ECMWF...WHICH CONTINUES TO INDICATE VERY COLD
AIR ON SAT. THE GFS ALSO HAS TRENDED COLDER AND NOW INDICATES H7
TEMPS IN THE MINUS 6-7 RANGE. EVEN STICKING WITH THE WARMEST
GUIDANCE...THE TEMPS SAT WOULD LIKELY NOT GET MUCH WARMER THAN 40
DEGREES FOR AREAS N OF HGWY 50...AND IT IS POSSIBLE THAT TEMPS COULD
REMAIN IN THE 30S. LIGHT QPF STILL LOOKS LIKE A GOOD BET...WITH THE
ATMOSPHERE SATURATED BELOW 600 MB. BEST CHANCE FOR SNOW WILL BE FROM
MIDNIGHT TO 6AM SATURDAY...BUT THE CHANCE OF SNOW COULD BEGIN AS
EARLY AS 6PM FRI AND COULD LAST INTO SAT EVENING. CONSENSUS IS FOR
SNOWFALL AMOUNTS FROM 1 TO AROUND 4 INCHES...WITH HIGHEST AMOUNTS
FOR TELLER COUNTY AND THE ERN SLOPES OF THE WETS AND RAMPARTS.

SUNDAY...CONTINUED COOL...BUT CLEARING CONDITIONS AS HIGH PRESSURE
BEGINS TO BUILD BACK OVER THE AREA. COULD SEE A GOOD REBOUND IN
TEMPS BY MONDAY WITH RENEWED WRLY FLOW ALOFT. THE MODELS CONTINUE TO
STRUGGLE MIGHTILY WITH THE TRACK AND IMPACT OF AN UPSTREAM CUTOFF
LOW EARLY NEXT WEEK. IT APPEARS LIKELY THAT IT WILL IMPACT THE AREA
AT SOME POINT NEXT WEEK...BUT UNCERTAINTY IS HIGH FOR
WHEN...WHERE...AND HOW. SOME AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE GLOBAL RUNS THAT
IT WILL STALL OVER THE DESERT SW OR 4 CORNERS REGION...AND BRING
SOME SIGNIFICANT MOISTURE UP FROM THE SOUTH FROM NEXT WED ONWARDS.
IF THIS OCCURS...COULD SEE A PROLONGED PERIOD OF UNSETTLED COOL WX
WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME SIGNIFICANT SNOW OVER THE SW MTS. BUT
STILL TOO EARLY TO SAY WITH ANY CONFIDENCE WHERE THE LOW WILL END
UP. THE WX WILL DEFINITELY BE WORTH WATCHING FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF
WEEKS. ROSE

.AVIATION...

...GUSTY WINDS TONIGHT WITH STRONG COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE THIS
EVENING...

SURFACE WINDS WILL BE AN ISSUE AT KCOS AND KPUB TONIGHT AND POSSIBLY
AT KALS.  A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL CROSS KCOS AROUND 03Z AND KPUB
AROUND 04Z. EXPECT STRONG GUSTY NORTH WINDS AFTER THE FRONTAL PASSAGE
FOR SEVERAL HOURS. GUSTS WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE 35 TO 45 KNOT
RANGE. AT KALS...WINDS MAY GUST FROM THE EAST AT 10 TO 20 MPH
STARTING AROUND 03Z.  ON THURSDAY...WINDS WILL SHIFT AROUND TO
EASTERLY ACROSS THE PLAINS AT SPEEDS OF GENERALLY 10 TO 20 MPH.
MEANWHILE...WINDS AT KALS WILL START OUT FROM THE SOUTHEAST AT 10 TO
20 MPH IN THE MORNING AND THEN GRADUALLY WORK AROUND TO THE
SOUTHWEST AT 15 TO 25 MPH DURING THE AFTERNOON.  THERE COULD BE SOME
AREAS OF LOW CLOUDS ALONG THE EASTERN SLOPES OF THE MOUNTAINS AND
ADJACENT PLAINS EARLY THURSDAY BUT AT THE PRESENT TIME IT LOOKS LIKE
CIGS WILL REMAIN VFR. LW
