AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
1137 PM MDT FRI APR 12 2013

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 828 PM MDT FRI APR 12 2013

UPDATED GRIDS/ZONES TO TRIM POPS...AS SHOWERS PRETTY MUCH ENDED
ACROSS THE AREA...OTHER THAN SOME ISOLD SHWRS NR THE CO/NM BORDER.
ALSO ADJUSTED SKY GRIDS TO REFLECT EXPECTED INFLUX OF LOW CLOUDS.
ALREADY SEEING SOME STRATUS MOVE INTO KIOWA COUNTY AND THIS SHOULD
SPREAD SWD OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 254 PM MDT FRI APR 12 2013

FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS FOR SAT ARE THE MAIN CHALLENGE.  A SHORTWAVE
TROF WILL CONTINUE MOVING SOUTHEASTWARD OVER THE AREA THIS
EVENING...BRINGING SOME SHOWERS TO THE AREA AND POSSIBLY A COUPLE
THUNDERSTORMS TO THE EASTERN AREAS. BY LATE NIGHT MOST IF NOT ALL OF
THE SHOWERS SHOULD END...ALTHOUGH THE SERN CORNER OF THE STATE COULD
SEE SOME LINGERING PCPN.  THE NAM12 AND RAP13 SHOWING LOW LEVEL RH
VALUES INCREASING TONIGHT OVER THE SERN PLAINS SO AM EXPECTING SOME
STRATUS AND MAYBE SOME AREAS OF FOG.

ON SAT...WRLY FLOW ALOFT INCREASES OVR THE AREA...AND IN THE
AFTERNOON MOST AREAS SHOULD SEE SOME BREEZY CONDITIONS. SOME OF THE
LOWER ELEVATIONS WILL SEE WINDS GUSTING TO 25 MPH OR HIGHER.  SOME
AREAS OF THE SERN CO SHOULD ALSO SEE RH VALUES IN THE AFTERNOON DROP
TO 15 PERCENT OR LOWER.  THE GUSTY WINDS AND LOW RH VALUES COMBINED
WITH DRY FUELS WL RESULT IN FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS.  WILL GO AHEAD
AND UPGRADE THE CURRENT FIRE WEATHER WATCH TO A RED FLAG
WARNING...BUT WILL ALSO INCLUDE CROWLEY...OTERO...BENT AND EASTERN
LAS ANIMAS COUNTIES AS WELL.  WESTERN KIOWA COUNTY MAY ALSO REACH
CRITERIA FOR A RED FLAG WARNING...BUT IT MAY NEED BE FOR A LONG
ENOUGH PERIOD. TEMPS ALOFT WARM FOR SATURDAY AND MOST AREAS WL SEE
ABOVE AVERAGE HIGH TEMPS.

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 254 PM MDT FRI APR 12 2013

NEXT UPPER LOW WILL MOVE THROUGH THE NRN U.S. ROCKIES TOWARDS THE
NRN PLAINS WITH WNW UPPER LEVEL JET TRANSLATING IN ACROSS CO SAT NIGHT. SNOW
AND BLOWING SNOW WILL RAMP UP ACROSS THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE AS
UPPER LEVEL FORCING FROM THE JET MOVES IN WITH BOTH NAM AND GFS
POINTING TO ADVISORY SNOWFALL AMOUNTS FOR THIS AREA. WILL BE
HOISTING A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR THE SAWATCH AND MOSQUITO
RANGES WHERE 6-12 INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE. OTHER CONCERN SATURDAY
NIGHT WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR HIGH WINDS ALONG THE SOUTHEAST
MTS/ADJACENT LOWER SLOPES. CROSS-SECTIONS AND MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW
SOME REVERSE SHEAR BETWEEN 03Z-09Z BEFORE THE UPPER JET MOVES IN
AND FORWARD SHEAR INCREASES. HOWEVER...MTN TOP STABLE LAYER ISN'T
VERY WELL DEFINED. WILL HOLD OFF ON A HIGH WIND WATCH AT THIS
POINT AND WAIT UNTIL LOCAL 4KM WRF RUN TONIGHT STARTS TO RESOLVE
THIS EVENT.

SFC COLD FRONT DROPS THROUGH THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS ON SUNDAY IN THE
WAKE OF THIS SYSTEM...BRINGING A COOL DOWN AND EASTERLY WINDS TO THE
PLAINS TO THE NORTH OF THE FRONT.  TEMPERATURES WILL STILL BE FAIRLY
MILD BEHIND THE FRONT WITH GENERALLY 60S AND LOWER 70S ACROSS THE
PLAINS...BUT HUMIDITIES SHOULD COME UP SLIGHTLY ABOVE CRITICAL
THRESHOLDS.

UPPER TROF CARVES OUT ACROSS THE NORTHWEST U.S. INTO MONDAY WHICH
PUTS FORECAST AREA UNDER SOUTHWESTERLY ORIENTED UPPER JET FOR MONDAY
INTO TUES.  FRONT WAVERS BACK NORTHWARD AND MAY BE DEALING WITH A
RETURN OF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS FOR MONDAY ACROSS
SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS.  MEANWHILE...MOISTURE
INCREASES AGAIN ACROSS THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF
SNOW EXPECTED.

MODELS STILL DIFFER WITH THE TIMING OF THE TROF AS IT MOVES ACROSS
DURING THE TUES NIGHT/WED TIME FRAME.  GFS IS STILL FASTER...BUT IS NOW
MORE AMPLIFIED AND FARTHER SOUTH WITH THE BASE OF THE TROF VS
ECMWF.  BOTH MODELS SUGGEST INCREASING CHANCES FOR SNOW MONDAY
NIGHT ACROSS WESTERN AND NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA...SPREADING
SOUTHWARD ON TUESDAY/TUES NIGHT AS MID LEVEL OVERRUNNING TAKES
PLACE OVER THE FRONT AS UPPER LOW MOVES INTO THE GREAT BASIN.
DEPENDING ON THE TIMING OF THE TROF...FRONT WILL SURGE IN EITHER
TUES NIGHT OR WED SPREADING A GOOD CHANCE FOR SHOWERS INTO THE SE
MTS/PLAINS. GFS HAS MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION CLEARING OUT BY WED
EVENING...WHILE SLOWER EC MAINTAINS PCPN ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH
WED NIGHT. ONCE AGAIN...H7 TEMPS LOOK FAIRLY COLD WITH THIS
SYSTEM...WITH PCPN LIKELY CHANGING OVER TO SNOW ACROSS THE PLAINS.
HARD TO SAY HOW MUCH WILL FALL AT THIS POINT...AS ECMWF IS FARTHER
NORTH BUT WOULD AT LEAST SUGGEST A FEW TENTHS TO .50 INCH OF LIQUID
ACROSS THE SE MTS WITH LESSER AMOUNTS ACROSS THE PLAINS. THE MORE
CLOSED OFF AND FARTHER SOUTH GFS WOULD SUGGEST BETTER UPSLOPE AND
MORE QPF. BUT CONFIDENCE IS LOW IN THIS SOLN GIVEN THE POOR RUN-
TO-RUN CONSISTENCY THUS FAR. HAVE COOLED OFF HIGHS A FEW DEGREES
AND PLAN TO KEEP POPS IN THE SCATTERED CATEGORY PRIMARILY IN THE
TUES NIGHT/WED TIME FRAME. TEMPERATURES WILL DIP WELL BELOW
FREEZING AGAIN WITH THIS SYSTEM...ESPECIALLY WED NIGHT...SO ONCE
AGAIN...ANY TENDER VEGETATION OR SPRINKLER SYSTEMS WILL NEED TO BE
PROTECTED.

DRY CONDITIONS WILL RETURN FOR THURSDAY/FRI...THOUGH WITH NW FLOW
OVER THE REGION...WILL MAINTAIN SOME ISOLATED POPS OVER THE MTNS.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SATURDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1133 PM MDT FRI APR 12 2013

MAIN CONCERN IS FG/LOW CIGS FOR SAT MORNING OVER THE PLAINS.
LOW CIGS NOW MOVING INTO THE KCOS AND KPUB AREA...AND WILL LIKELY
STICK AROUND THROUGH 14-15Z SAT. HAVE REDUCED VIS A BIT...AS THE
PALMER DVD ALREADY IS SEEING SOME FG...SO COULD POTENTIALLY SEE VIS
UNDER 1/2 MILE BRIEFLY AT KCOS.

&&

.PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
RED FLAG WARNING FROM NOON TO 8 PM MDT SATURDAY FOR COZ222-
