AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
1113 AM MDT THU OCT 4 2012

.UPDATE...

UPDATED GRIDS/ZONES TO LOWER POPS MOST AREAS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVE.
BASED ON OBS AND HI RES MODEL DATA AM NOT EXPECTING MUCH PRECIP
THROUGH THIS EVE. WILL KEEP LOW POPS OVER THE HIGHER PEAKS WHERE
THERE COULD BE AN ISOLD SHOWER...BUT LOWER POPS ELSEWHERE. ROSE

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 405 AM MDT THU OCT 4 2012/

SHORT TERM...
(TODAY AND TONIGHT)

CURRENTLY...

STRONG COLD FRONT WHICH BROUGHT GUSTY WINDS AND COOLER AIR TO THE
REGION WAS WELL SOUTH OF THE CO/NM BORDER AT 3 AM. A FEW LOW CLOUDS
WERE NOTED OVER THE EASTERN SLOPES OF THE EASTERN MTNS...WHILE A
BAND OF MID LVL CLOUDS WAS RACING EASTWARD OVER THE C MTNS.
OTHERWISE SKIES WERE CLEAR WITH COOL TEMPERATURES AND DECREASING
WINDS.

TODAY...

TWO DISTINCT AIRMASSES WILL BE OVER THE REGION TODAY. AREAS
GENERALLY WEST OF THE EASTERN MTN RANGES WILL BE WARM AND
BREEZY/WINDY WHILE AREAS EAST OF THE EASTERN MTNS WILL BE NOTICEABLY
COOLER. ALAMOSA WILL DEFINITELY BE THE WARMEST PRIMARY WX STATION
ACROSS SE CO TODAY AS HIGHS IN THE 70S ARE LIKELY IN THE VALLEY
WHILE THE PLAINS WILL REMAIN IN THE 50S TO AROUND 60F. LATER TODAY
THE WINDS OVER THE MTNS WILL GET ON THE STRONGER SIDE AND EXPECT
GUSTS IN THE 35-45 KNT RANGE...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE CENTRAL MTNS.

ANOTHER CONCERN IS A LIGHT BAND OF PRECIP WHICH ALL THE GUIDANCE
SHOWS DEVELOPING ACROSS MAINLY THE CENTRAL PART OF THE STATE LATER
THIS AFTERNOON. FORCING FOR THIS PRECIP APPEARS TO BE A COMBINATION
OF INSTABILITY (LAPSE RATES 9.0 C/KM AND WEAK FORCING ASSOCIATED
WITH THE JET STREAK MOVING OVER THE AREA. THIS AREA OF PRECIP FOR
LATER THIS AFTERNOON WILL AFFECT MAINLY AREAS NORTH OF US50.

TONIGHT...

GUIDANCE HAS COME IN A TAD WARMER THAN PREVIOUS FORECAST AND TEMPS
WITHIN THE FREEZE WATCH AREA MAY STRUGGLE A BIT TO GET REALLY COLD.
MAIN CONCERN IS THAT WE MAY SEE TOO MANY CLOUDS OVER THE REGION TO
ALLOW TEMPS TO REALLY PLUMMET. TEMPS SHOULD STILL FLIRT WITH THE
FREEZING (ESPECIALLY N EL PASO COUNTY) AND KEPT THE FREEZE WATCH IN
EFFECT AND WILL LET THE DAY SHIFT MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO THE HILITE.

AS MENTIONED ABOVE...SOME LIGHT PRECIP WILL LIKELY BE ONGOING IN THE
EVENING NORTH OF US-50...AND SOME OF THIS PRECIP MAY MAKE IT OUT
ONTO THE PLAINS OVER THE PALMER DVD. ANY PRECIP SHOULD END TOWARDS
MIDNIGHT AS FORCING MOVES EAST. SOME CLOUDS MAY LINGER OVER THE
NORTHERN AREAS.

TEMPS TONIGHT WILL BE COOL ONCE AGAIN ALL AREAS WITH MAINLY 30S
PLAINS AND A FEW U20S ACROSS NORTHERN EL PASO COUNTY. 30S WILL
MAINLY OCCUR IN THE VALLEYS. \/34

LONG TERM...
(FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)

..A COLD WEEKEND...

FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...A CHILLY WEEKEND IS IN STORE FOR THE REGION
AS THE STATE REMAINS UNDER BRISK W-NW FLOW ALOFT. A LARGE UPPER LOW
OVER CANADA WILL CONTINUE TO ROTATE PIECES OF ENERGY DOWN ACROSS THE
NORTHERN ROCKIES AND UPPER MIDWEST FOR FRI AND SAT...WITH
REINFORCING BLASTS OF COLD AIR AND POTENTIALLY SOME LIGHT PCPN
FILTERING INTO THE CWA. THE SYSTEM STARTS TO EDGE EAST ON
SUN...ALLOWING FOR ONE FINAL DAY OF CHILL BEFORE A SLIGHT PATTERN
CHANGE TAKES PLACE. PREVIOUS MODEL RUNS INTDICATED THAT ANOTHER COLD
FRONT WAS SCHEDULED TO DROP DOWN INTO THE ARE ON FRI.
HOWEVER...LATEST MODEL RUNS NOW SHOW THIS AS A STRENGTHENING OF THE
UPSLOPE LLVL FLOW THAT IS ALREADY IN PLACE. END RESULT IS THAT MAX
TEMPS FOR THE PLAINS ARE FORECAST TO BE IN THE 50S ON FRI...40S ON
SAT...AND THEN 50S ON SUN. THE BEST CHANCE AT SOME PCPN WITH
POSSIBLE SNOW...WILL BE FRI NIGHT THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE DAY
SAT. AS FOR THE HIGH VALLEYS AND HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE CONTDVD AND
CENT MTS...CONTINUED WARM AND ESSENTIALLY DRY ON FRI BEFORE THE
COLDER AIR BEGINS TO MIGRATE TO THE WEST FOR SAT AND SUN. THE PLAINS
WILL BE FLIRTING WITH POSSIBLE FREEZE WATCHES AND/OR WARNINGS FOR
BOTH SAT AND SUN MORNING.

MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...AN UPPER LOW OVER THE PACIFIC MOVES
ONSHORE ACROSS CA ON MON...THEN STAGNATES OVER SOUTHERN CA AND NV
THROUGH WED. THIS WILL PRODUCE A WARMER SW FLOW ALOFT ACROSS THE
FOUR CORNERS AND COLORADO...WITH SHORTWAVE RIDGING BOOSTING MAX
TEMPS OVER THE PLAINS BACK UP TO AROUND 70 F. ISOLATED POPS WILL BE
RESTRICTED TO THE HIGHER PEAKS INTO MIDWEEK. 27

AVIATION...
VFR EXPECTED AT ALL 3 TAF SITES...KPUB..KALS AND KCOS...NEXT 24H.
WE MAY SEE A VERY BRIEF PERIOD OF MVFR CIGS AT KCOS AOA SUNRISE. FOR
NOW I PLAN TO GO WITH A SCT030 DECK IN THE 12 TAF ISSUANCE. ANY
CLOUDS THAT DUE DEVELOP SHOULD BREAK UP BY 15Z THERE WILL ALSO BE A
SLIGHT CHANCE OF A SHOWER ACROSS THE KCOS REGION THIS EVENING.
PROBABILITY OF THIS HAPPENING IS TOO LOW TO EXPLICITLY MENTION IN
TAF PRODUCT ATTM.
