NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DENVER/BOULDER CO
1110 AM MDT MON MAR 17 2014

.UPDATE...

&&

.SHORT TERM...WINDS BEGINNING INCREASE ACROSS THE AREA AHEAD OF
THE APPROACHING TROUGH. ALSO SURFACE LOW AND LEE TROUGH STARTING
TO INTENSIFY ACROSS THE PLAINS. LATEST MODELS STILL INDICATING
POTENTIAL GUSTS TO 50 MPH ACROSS THE PLAINS. NOT MUCH OF A
MOUNTAIN WAVE AT THIS TIME...SO DON'T THINK WINDS WILL REACH HIGH
WIND CRITERIA. GUSTS TO 65 MPH STILL POSSIBLE ALONG THE FOOTHILLS.
MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS DURING THE
AFTERNOON ALONG WITH MID LEVEL QG ASCENT. OROGRAPHICS IMPROVE BY
EVENING ALONG WITH DECENT LAPSE RATES WHICH CONTINUE OVERNIGHT AS
UPPER TROUGH MOVES INTO COLORADO. CURRENT WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY
FOR ZONES 31 AND 33 STILL LOOK ON TRACK. SOME CHANCE FOR
PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE PLAINS OVERNIGHT WITH INCREASING MID
LEVEL ASCENT. HOWEVER...STRONG DOWNSLOPE FLOW WILL LIMIT THE
PRECIPITATION CHANCES ALONG THE URBAN CORRIDOR. CURRENT POPS AND
WEATHER LOOK GOOD FOR NOW. THERE IS ALSO SOME POTENTIAL FOR HIGH
WINDS LATE TONIGHT AND TUESDAY MORNING IF THE 50 KTS OF BOUNDARY
LAYER WINDS MIXES TO THE SURFACE. AT THIS TIME WILL HOLD ONTO THE
WATCH FOR THE FAR NORTHEAST ZONES.

.AVIATION...MIXING HELPING TO INCREASE SOUTHWEST WINDS ACROSS THE
AREA...ALTHOUGH ROTOR ALONG THE FOOTHILLS KEEPING A SOUTHEAST WIND
AT KBJC. THE ROTOR SHOULD BE SHORT LIVED AS THE MIXING WILL
CONTINUE. WINDS TO BECOME MORE WESTERLY 19Z...AS SHOWN BY THE
LATEST MODELS AND WILL ADJUST THE TAFS ACCORDINGLY.
OTHERWISE...CURRENT TAF TRENDS LOOK REASONABLE. SOME GUSTS TO 50
MPH POSSIBLE BETWEEN 21Z AND 01Z. WINDS TO THEN BECOME MORE
NORTHWEST DURING THE EVENING AND DECREASE. SOME CHANCE FOR RAIN
AND SNOW SHOWERS AFTER 06Z...WITH THE BEST CHANCE NORTHEAST OF THE
AREA.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...WINDS TO INCREASE ACROSS THE PLAINS DURING THE
AFTERNOON WITH SPEEDS BETWEEN 35 AND 50 MPH. HUMIDITY READINGS
EXPECTED TO DROP INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS. RED FLAG WARNING TO
CONTINUE FOR AREAS WHERE THE FUELS ARE DRIEST AND MOST SUSCEPTIBLE
TO WILDFIRE SPREAD.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 408 AM MDT MON MAR 17 2014/

SHORT TERM...WLY FLOW ALOFT WILL INCREASE AHEAD OF A POTENT UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH THAT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT. MEANWHILE AT
THE SFC LOW PRES WILL INTENSIFY FM ERN WY INTO ERN CO WITH STG
DOWNSLOPE LOW LVL FLOW BY AFTN. MOISTURE WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE
IN THE MTNS BY LATE AFTN INTO THE EVENING HOURS WITH SNOW
DEVELOPING ESPECIALLY NORTH OF I-70 WHICH WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT.
FAVORABLE OROGRAPHICS AND DECENT LAPSE RATES SHOULD ALLOW FOR
ADVISORY AMOUNTS IN ZNS 31 AND 33 WITH LOWER AMOUNTS IN ZN 34. IN
ADDITION GUSTY WINDS WILL CAUSE AREAS OF BLOWING SNOW OVER THE
HIGHER PASSES.

GUSTY WINDS WILL THIS MORINING OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN AND THEN
SPREAD ACROSS THE PLAINS BY MID TO LATE AFTN. APPEARS LACK OF A
MTN WAVE WILL KEEP WIND SPEEDS BLO HIGH WIND CRITERIA IN MOST
AREAS WITH GUSTS TO 65 MPH IN THE MTNS AND FOOTHILLS. OVER THE
PLAINS WILL LIKELY SEE SOME GUSTS FM 40 TO 50 MPH. HIGH TEMPS THIS
AFTN WILL RANGE FM THE UPPER 60S TO MID 70S OVER NERN CO.

FOR TONIGHT AS MAIN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVES ACROSS NERN CO THERE
WILL BE A CHANCE OF RAIN SHOWERS CHANGING TO SNOW OVER THE NERN
PLAINS AFTER MIDNIGHT.  STG DOWNSLOPE FLOW IN AND NR THE FOOTHILLS
WILL LEAD TO LOWER PCPN CHANCES ALONG THE FRONT RANGE AND PALMER
DIVIDE.  MEANWHILE BNDRY LYR WINDS ARE FCST TO INCREASE TO 50-55 KTS
AFT 06Z OVER THE PLAINS AND IF SHOWERS OCCUR THIS WOULD ALLOW FOR
STRONGER WINDS IN THE BNDRY LYR TO MIX DOWN TO THE SFC ALLOWING FOR
SOME POTENTIAL FOR HIGH WINDS LATE TONIGHT INTO TUE MORNING.

LONG TERM...MODELS HAVE AN UPPER TROUGH AXIS OVER EASTERN COLORADO
AT 12Z TUESDAY MORNING.  BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON...WEST-NORTHWESTERLY
FLOW ALOFT IS OVER THE CWA AND IT IS SUPPOSED TO CONTINUE TUESDAY
NIGHT. NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT IS PROGGED ON WEDNESDAY...BECOMING
WEST-NORTHWESTERLY AGAIN WEDNESDAY NIGHT. FAIRLY STRONG DOWNWARD
QG VERTICAL VELOCITY IS PROGGED OVER THE FORECAST AREA TUESDAY
WELL INTO WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. AFTER THAT...THE SYNOPTIC SCALE
ENERGY IS BENIGN INTO THURSDAY MORNING. PRETTY STRONG NORTH-
NORTHWESTERLY BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW IS PROGGED TUESDAY...DECREASING
TUESDAY NIGHT. WEAKER DOWNSLOPING FLOW IS PROGGED ON WEDNESDAY
..WITH NORMAL DRAINAGE WIND PATTERNS EXPECTED WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
FOR MOISTURE...THERE IS SOME OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND THE EASTERN
TWO-THIRDS OF THE PLAINS ON TUESDAY. IT DRIES OUT SLOWLY TUESDAY
NIGHT...WEDNESDAY IS PRETTY DRY...WITH JUST SOME UPPER LEVEL
MOISTURE FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THE QPF FIELDS HAVE LIGHT AMOUNTS OF
MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND EASTERN PLAINS
TUESDAY...WITH JUST A TAD OVER THE MOUNTAINS TUESDAY NIGHT. THERE
IS NOTHING WEDNESDAY OR WEDNESDAY NIGHT. SO WITH THE UPPER TROUGH
LOOKING A BIT STRONGER AND DIGGING A BIT FURTHER SOUTH WILL UP
POPS A TAD ON THE PLAINS FOR TUESDAY. WILL KEEP "LIKELY"S FOR THE
MOST PART OVER THE MOUNTAINS. WILL LINGER SOME MINOR POPS OVER THE
MOUNTAINS ON TUESDAY EVENING...THEN DRY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
NO HIGHLIGHTS FOR SNOW AMOUNTS RIGHT NOW. WILL GO WITH A HIGH WIND
WATCH FOR THE EASTERN PLAINS TUESDAY MORNING WITH THE PROGGED
WIND SPEEDS IN MIND. OF NOTE...IF MODELS CONTINUE THE TREND OF A
STRONGER...MORE FURTHER SOUTH UPPER TROUGH...THE EASTERN PLAINS
COULD SEE HIGHER POPS AND BLIZZARD CONDITIONS WITH THE STRONG
WINDS. SOMETHING TO WATCH FOR. FOR TEMPERATURES...TUESDAY'S HIGHS
ARE 6-15 C COLDER THAN TODAY'S HIGHS. WEDNESDAY'S READINGS ARE UP
4-7 C FROM TUESDAY'S. FOR THE LATER DAYS...THURSDAY THROUGH
SUNDAY...THE FLOW ALOFT IS BASICALLY ZONAL ALL FOUR DAYS. THERE
IS QUITE A BIT OF MOISTURE AND SOME WEAK UPWARD SYNOPTIC SCALE
ENERGY FOR SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT. WILL GO WITH SOME MINOR
POPS FOR ALL AREAS.

AVIATION...SSW WINDS THIS MORNING WILL BECOME MORE WLY BY 18Z AND
THEN INCREASE THRU THE AFTN HOURS. SPEEDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH WITH
GUSTS TO 35 MPH WILL OCCUR BETWEEN 18Z AND 21Z AND THEN INCREASE
TO 25 TO 35 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 50 MPH IN THE 21Z-01Z TIMEFRAME.
AFTER 01Z WINDS WILL BECOME MORE WNW WITH SPEEDS IN THE 20 TO 30
MPH RANGE WHICH WILL CONTINUE THRU 06Z. AFTER 06Z WINDS MAY
DECREASE TO 10 TO 20 MPH. WITH STG DOWNSLOPE FLOW ALONG THE FRONT
RANGE TONIGHT BEST CHC FOR RAIN AND SHOWERS WILL STAY TO THE NE OF
THE AIRPORT OVERNIGHT.

FIRE WEATHER...STRONG GUSTY WINDS BETWEEN 35 AND 50 MPH FROM THE
SOUTHWEST/WEST WITH SINGLE DIGIT HUMIDITIES WILL BRING RED FLAG
CONDITIONS TO THE NORTHEAST PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. RED FLAG WARNING IS WHERE FUELS ARE DRIEST ON THE PLAINS

...RED FLAG WARNING THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING FOR
PARTS OF NORTHEAST COLORADO...
...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS TONIGHT...
...HIGH WIND WATCH FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH MIDDAY TUESDAY FOR
MOST OF NORTHEAST COLORADO...

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHEAST AND NORTH CENTRAL
COLORADO.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

A POTENT WEATHER SYSTEM WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT. AHEAD
OF THIS SYSTEM GUSTY SOUTHWEST TO WEST WINDS OF 45 MPH COMBINED
WITH LOW HUMIDITIES WILL LEAD TO HIGH FIRE DANGER OVER THE EASTERN
PLAINS. GUSTY WINDS UP TO 65 MPH WILL OCCUR IN THE MOUNTAINS AND
FOOTHILLS AS WELL WITH GUSTS UP TO 50 MPH ALONG THE FRONT RANGE
DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING.

SNOW WILL INCREASE THIS EVENING AND CONTINUE OVERNIGHT IN THE
NORTHERN MOUNTAINS WITH TOTAL ACCUMULATIONS RANGING FROM 4 TO 8
INCHES BY TUESDAY MORNING. STRONG GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS WILL ALSO
PRODUCE AREAS OF BLOWING SNOW AND POOR VISIBILITIES ON THE HIGHER
PASSES. IN NORTHEAST COLORADO...STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AFTER MIDNIGHT WITH GUSTS POSSIBLY TO AS HIGH
AS 55 MPH. IN ADDITION THERE IS ALSO A CHANCE OF RAIN SHOWERS ON
THE PLAINS THIS EVENING AND A CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS AFTER
MIDNIGHT. HOWEVER SNOW ACCUMULATION IS NOT EXPECTED ON THE
PLAINS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY

AS THIS STORM SYSTEM PASSES BY ON TUESDAY...STRONG NORTH TO
NORTHWEST WINDS ARE LIKELY TO DEVELOP ON THE PLAINS OF NORTHEAST
COLORADO. THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE STATE MAY ALSO SEE LIGHT
SNOW ACCUMULATION POSSIBLY RESULTING IN DIFFICULT DRIVING
CONDITIONS. WHERE ITS NOT SNOWING...THE STRONG WINDS MAY ALSO
PRODUCE AREAS OF BLOWING DUST WHICH COULD REDUCE VISIBILITIES TO
NEAR ZERO AT TIMES NEAR OPEN FIELDS.

LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND TUESDAY NIGHT THE MOUNTAINS COULD SEE
ANOTHER ROUND OF LIGHT SNOWFALL AND GUSTY WINDS WITH THE PASSAGE
OF ANOTHER WEAK WEATHER DISTURBANCE.

DRY AND MILD CONDITIONS WILL RETURN TO THE OUTLOOK AREA FOR
WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. THE NEXT CHANCE FOR RAIN AND SNOW WILL
COME FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY WHEN ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM AND COLD
FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA. SUNDAY NOW LOOKS DRY.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED TODAY OR TONIGHT.
