AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
1138 AM MDT WED MAY 1 2013

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1057 AM MDT WED MAY 1 2013

UPDATED SHORT TERM FORECASTS TO REFLECT CURRENT CONDITIONS. LW

UPDATE ISSUED AT 459 AM MDT WED MAY 1 2013

MADE A QUICK UPDATE TO THE FORECAST TO ACCOUNT FOR THE STRONGER
WINDS WHICH ARE OCCURRING OVER THE FAR SE CO PLAINS.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 456 AM MDT WED MAY 1 2013

...SPRING SNOW EVENT TODAY WITH FREEZING TEMPS TONIGHT...

CURRENTLY...

A SURFACE LOW WAS OVER THE EASTERN PART OF THE OK PNHDL. WINDS OVER
THE SE CO PLAINS WERE NORTHERLY GUSTING TO 25 TO 40 MPH. A
BAROCLINIC ZONE WAS NOTED FROM WC CO INTO NC CO...AND BANDS OF
MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW WERE OCCURRING IN THIS ZONE. OVER NE
CO...LIGHT PRECIP WAS NOTED. OVER OUR REGION...SKIES WERE GENERALLY
CLOUDY WITH MIDLVL CIGS MOST PLACES. LOWER CIGS WERE NOTED OVER THE
PALMER DVD. SOME VERY LIGHT PRECIP WAS LIKELY OCCURRING OVER E EL
PASO COUNTY AND THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE PALMER DVD. SNOW WAS
LIKELY OCCURING OVER THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE C MTNS N OF
COTTONWOOD PASS. COLDER AIR WAS GRADUALLY FILTERING INTO THE FCST
AREA...AND OUR HIGH TEMPS FOR THE DATE WERE LIKELY REACHED AT
MIDNIGHT. TEMPS ON THE PLAINS VARIED FROM THE LOWER 30S OVER THE
PALMER DVD TO THE MID 50S ACROSS FAR SE BACA COUNTY. A 52 READING
WAS NOTED OVER CANON CITY AT 2 AM. TEMPS WERE STILL IN THE 50S
ACROSS THE SAN LUIS VALLEY.

TODAY...

WX SYSTEM THAT WILL BRING SOME LATE SEASON SNOW TO PARTS OF THE
REGION IS STILL ON TRACK. THE BEST FORCING WILL MOVE ACROSS THE
REGION FROM LATE THIS MORNING THROUGH MID EVENING. PRECIP IS
EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY PICK UP TOWARDS SUNRISE ACROSS THE PIKES PEAK
REGION...AND THIS PRECIP WILL GRADUALLY DROP SWD AS THE DAY
PROGRESSES AS THE TROUGH GETS CLOSER. EXPECT THE OVERALL BEST CHANCE
OF  PRECIP FOR THE PIKES PEAK REGION TO OCCUR DURING THE AFTERNOON
TIME PERIOD. FOR THE PUEBLO/WET MTNS IT WILL BE BE THIS AFTERNOON
AND FOR THE FAR S MTNS IT WILL BE LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING. BANDS OF PRECIP WILL LIKELY DEVELOP OVER THE PLAINS...WITH
THE BEST BANDING LIKELY TO OCCUR FROM KTAD NORTHEASTWARD TO LAMAR
AND EADS. THE LEAST AMOUNT OF PRECIP WILL LIKELY OCCUR ACROSS SE EL
PASO...NE PUEBLO AND CROWLEY COUNTIES. SE BACA COUNTY MAY ALSO SEE A
MIN IN QPF.

MAX DAYTIME TEMPS TODAY WILL LIKELY REACH ONLY IN THE MID 40S ACROSS
MOST OF THE PLAINS...WITH MID 30S ACROSS N EL PASO COUNTY. THE SAN
LUIS VALLEY...THE SAN JUAN MTN REGION THE S PARTS OF THE UPPER ARK
RIVER VALLEY MAY SEE LITTLE IF ANY PRECIP...AND IT MAY BE GENERALLY
PARTLY CLOUDY OVER THESE REGIONS TODAY. IT WILL BE WINDY IN THE SAN
JUANS AND SAN LUIS VALLEY. SINCE IT WILL BE COOLER OVER THESE AREAS
TODAY...FIRE WX HILITE CRITERIA IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE
REACHED...ALTHOUGH IT WILL BE BORDERLINE IN PLACES...ESPECIALLY IN
THE SAN LUIS VALLEY.

THE UPPER ARK RIVER VALLEY WILL SEE SNOW EARLY THIS MORNING AND THEN
IT WILL SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASE LATE THIS MORNING AND EARLY
AFTERNOON...AND THEN WILL RAMP UP AGAIN LATER THIS AFTERNOON AS THE
MAIN TROUGH AXIS MOVES OVERHEAD.

SNOWFALL AMOUNTS ARE GOING TO BE VERY TRICKY. NEARLY ALL ACCUMS OVER
THE LOWER ELEVATIONS WILL BE ON GRASSY SFCS...AND EVEN IF IT
ACCUMULATES...IT WILL MELT FROM THE BOTTOM AS IT FALLS. THE 6 HOUR
SNOW GRIDDS IN THE NDFD ARE NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF WHAT WILL ACTUALLY
BE MEASURED AFTER THE SNOW ENDS DUE TO THE MELTING THAT WILL OCCUR
AS THE EVENT UNFOLDS. THE BEST ACCUMS WILL LIKELY OCCUR TONIGHT OVER
THE S MTNS AS MOST OF THIS SNOW WILL OCCUR AFTER SUNSET. 5-10" OF
SNOW IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION OVER THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE S
MTNS. THE TOP OF PIKES PEAK MAY ALSO DO VERY WELL.

TONIGHT...

BEST CHANCE OF PRECIP WILL BE OVER THE S SANGRES WITH A BAND OF
PRECIP LIKELY EXTENDING FROM THE KTAD NE'WD INTO KIOWA COUNTY. WITH
THE UPPER TROUGH MOVING OVER THE CENTRAL PART OF THE STATE...LIGHT
SNOW WILL STILL BE LIKELY ONGOING OVER THE GREATER C MTN REGION AND
PIKES PEAK AREA. BY MIDNIGHT THE PRECIP SHOULD BE WANING OVER THE N
SXNS OF THE CWA WITH THE BRUNT OF IT DOWN TOWARDS THE RATON MESA
REGION.

TEMPS WILL BE COLD TONIGHT WITH LOWS LIKELY IN THE MID 20S MOST OF
THE PLAINS...WITH TEENS ACROSS N EL PASO COUNTY. SINCE THE GROWING
SEASON TECHNICALLY BEGINS TODAY (01 MAY)...A HARD FREEZE WARNING HAS
BEEN ISSUED.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 456 AM MDT WED MAY 1 2013

IT STILL APPEARS THAT A RELATIVELY ACTIVE AND GENERALLY BELOW
SEASONAL TEMPERATURE METEOROLOGICAL PATTERN SHOULD CONTINUE OVER
THE FORECAST DISTRICT DURING THE LONGER TERM.

SYSTEM IMPACTING THE FORECAST DISTRICT FROM TODAY INTO TONIGHT IS
PROJECTED TO EXIT THE CWFA AS THURSDAY PROGRESSES...ALTHOUGH HAVE
STILL DEPICTED SOME SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY...ESPECIALLY THURSDAY
MORNING. WELL BELOW SEASONAL TEMPERATURES...ESPECIALLY EASTERN
SECTIONS...ARE ALSO ANTICIPATED FROM THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY
NIGHT.

SPEAKING OF COLD TEMPERATURES...HAVE ISSUED A HARD FREEZE WATCH
FROM THIS EVENING INTO THURSDAY MORNING FOR PUBLIC ZONES 83>89 AND
93>99. ANOTHER FREEZE HIGHLIGHT WILL MOST LIKELY BE NEEDED FOR THE
SAME AREAS THURSDAY NIGHT. WFO PUEBLO WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR
CLOSELY AND ISSUE HIGHLIGHTS AS NEEDED.

AS TOUCHED UPON IN RECENT DISCUSSIONS...A RETURN TO DRIER AND
WARMER(ALTHOGUH STILL BELOW EARLY MAY CLIMATOLOGICAL AVERAGES)
CONDITIONS SHOULD THEN BE NOTED FROM LATER THURSDAY INTO EARLY
SATURDAY MORNING AS DRY NORTHWESTERLY UPPER FLOW RETURNS TO THE
FORECAST DISTRICT.

THEN BY THIS WEEKEND AND ESPECIALLY NEXT WEEK...SEVERAL UPPER

AT KPUB AND KCOS...BAND OF HEAVIER SNOW WILL SLOWLY DRIFT SOUTH
