AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
1042 AM MST SUN FEB 16 2014

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 343 AM MST SUN FEB 16 2014

CURRENTLY...FLAT UPPER LEVEL RIDGING IS MOVING ACROSS THE REGION
WITH EMBEDDED ENERGY PRODUCING MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDINESS.  AT
THE SURFACE...WEBCAMS ARE INDICATING PATCHY FOG OVER EL PASO
COUNTY.  THIS FOG WILL LIKELY PRODUCE AREAS OF LOW VISIBILITIES.
TEMPERATURES THIS MORNING ARE GENERALLY IN THE MID 20S TO LOWER 30S.

SEVERAL CONCERNS FOR THE SHORT TERM PERIOD.  THE FIRST CONCERN WILL
BE STRONG WINDS EXPECTED FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING ACROSS
THE REGION.  A QUICK MOVING BUT STRONG SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS FORECAST
TO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.  STRONG WINDS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHORTWAVE ARE FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS THE
MOUNTAINS WHILE MIXING ALONG THE LEE SLOPES WILL FORCE THESE STRONG
WINDS TO THE SURFACE...GENERALLY ALONG AND WEST OF I-25.  HIGH-RES
MODEL GUIDANCE HAS THE STRONGEST WINDS PUSHING DOWN INTO THE LOWER
ELEVATIONS AROUND 18Z AND PEAKING BY 21Z.  GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 50 MPH
ARE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY IN GAP AREAS WEST OF THE INTERSTATE.  IN
ADDITION TO THE STRONG WINDS...AREAS OF BLOWING DUST ARE
LIKELY...ESPECIALLY OVER SOUTHERN PUEBLO AND MOST OF HUERFANO
COUNTIES.  THE BLOWING DUST WILL REDUCE VISIBILITIES ON I-25 AND
EXTREME CAUTION IS ADVISED DUE TO LOW VISIBILITIES AND VERY STRONG
CROSS WINDS.  AFTERNOON MIXING WILL ALSO PRODUCE REDUCED HUMIDITY
VALUES OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE EASTERN PLAINS.  PERIODS OF
NEAR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY OVER
LAS ANIMAS COUNTY.  EXTREME CAUTION IS ADVISED WITH ANY OUTDOOR
BURNING ACTIVITIES.  TEMPERATURES WILL ONCE AGAIN BE WARM THIS
AFTERNOON WITH MOST AREAS IN THE 60S...WITH PERHAPS A FEW LOWER 70S
DOWN ALONG THE NEW MEXICO BORDER.

OVER THE MOUNTAINS...SNOW IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP OVER THE CENTRAL
MOUNTAINS BY EARLY AFTERNOON AND INCREASE IN INTENSITY HEADING INTO
THIS EVENING.  MODELS VARY ON HOW FAR SOUTH SNOW DEVELOPS ALONG THE
CONTINENTAL DIVIDE...BUT HAVE INCLUDED LIGHT SNOW FOR THE SAN JUAN
RANGE FOR LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING.  THIS SHORTWAVE
TROUGH IS VERY FAST MOVING...AND SNOW WILL COME TO AN END FOR ALL
AREAS AROUND MIDNIGHT.  SNOWFALL TOTALS WILL BE PRETTY LIGHT...WITH
AN INCH OR SO DOWN OVER THE LA GARITA RANGE AND SAN JUANS.  THE
CENTRAL MOUNTAINS WILL SEE THE MOST SNOW WITH AROUND 1 TO 3 INCHES.
THE MAIN ISSUE WILL BE THE STRONG WINDS OVER THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS
WHICH COULD SEE GUSTS APPROACHING 70 MPH.  WHEN COMBINED WITH THE
SNOWFALL...IT WILL PRODUCE DANGEROUS BLOWING SNOW CONDITIONS...WITH
DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS DUE TO REDUCED VISIBILITIES.  FOR THIS
REASON...HAVE GONE WITH A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING. EXTREME CAUTION IS ADVISED FOR ANYONE TRAVELING OVER
THE HIGH PASSES OF LAKE COUNTY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SNOW
SHOULD RAPIDLY COME TO AN END AROUND MIDNIGHT AS THE UPPER SYSTEM
MOVES INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS. A COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO MOVE
SOUTH ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS BY MONDAY MORNING. ANY GUSTY WINDS
COMING DOWN OFF THE LEE SLOPES SHOULD BE EFFECTIVELY KILLED OFF
WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL FALL INTO THE MID
20S TO MID 30S BY MONDAY MORNING. MOZLEY

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 343 AM MST SUN FEB 16 2014

DRY ZONAL FLOW WILL REMAIN OVER THE AREA FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY WITH
THE MOUNTAINS REMAINING WINDY AT TIMES THROUGH THE PERIOD.
TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE PLAINS DROP BACK 5 TO 10 DEGREES FROM THE
PREVIOUS DAY BEHIND SUNDAY NIGHTS COLD FRONT. THIS WILL ALSO SHUT
DOWN ANY GUSTY WIND POTENTIAL FOR THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS MONDAY AS
WINDS SHIFT OUT OF THE EAST. MONDAY NIGHT WILL LIKELY BE A WARM
NIGHT...PARTICULARLY ALONG THE BANANA BELT REGIONS ALONG THE LOWER
EAST FACING SLOPES AS LEE TROF DEEPENS AGAIN. ANOTHER SHALLOW COLD
FRONT TRIES TO BACK DOOR INTO SOUTHEAST CO TUESDAY AFTERNOON
BEHIND A FAST MOVING SHORTWAVE MOVING THROUGH THE NRN
PLAINS...HOWEVER HIGHS ON TUESDAY DO NOT APPEAR TO COOL MUCH OVER
THOSE FROM THE PREVIOUS DAY.

THE NEXT PROGRESSIVE UPPER TROF GLANCES BY TO THE NORTH WEDNESDAY
NIGHT SENDING ANOTHER ROUND OF SNOW AND STRONG WINDS TO THE
MOUNTAINS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT.  BREVITY OF THE SYSTEM
SHOULD KEEP SNOW AMOUNTS BELOW WARNING/ADVISORY CRITERIA...BUT WITH ALL THE
WIND WE MAY NEED ANOTHER WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR THE CENTRAL
MOUNTAINS FOR BLOWING SNOW. COLD FRONT DROPS THROUGH THE SOUTHEAST
PLAINS WEDNESDAY NIGHT. GFS HAS ONLY SOME VERY LIGHT QPF ACROSS
NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS WEDNESDAY NIGHT/EARLY
THURS WHILE ECMWF IS A LITTLE MORE WIDESPREAD WITH
PRECIPITATION...THOUGH STILL FAIRLY LIGHT. HAVE KEPT ISOLATED POPS
ACROSS THE PLAINS...BUT FOR NOW CHANCES LOOK SPOTTY AT BEST.

ANOTHER PROGRESSIVE SYSTEM WILL BE QUICK ON ITS HEALS FOR THURSDAY
NIGHT/FRIDAY BRINGING ANOTHER QUICK SHOT OF SNOW TO THE CENTRAL
MOUNTAINS AND MAINLY WIND ELSEWHERE.  ECMWF HAS COME IN LINE WITH
THE FARTHER NORTH GFS WITH THIS SYSTEM...SUGGESTING IT COULD REMAIN
DRY BEHIND THE FRONT FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY ACROSS THE PLAINS.  ECMWF
HAS A LITTLE MORE HOPE BUT ANY PRECIPITATION LOOKS VERY LIGHT.
TEMPERATURES LOOK TO COOL DOWN SUBSTANTIALLY FOR NEXT WEEKEND. -KT

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1034 AM MST SUN FEB 16 2014

KCOS AND KPUB...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR THE NEXT 24 HRS. W-SW
WINDS WILL INCREASE THROUGH THE AFTN WITH GUSTS OF 35-40 MPH
POSSIBLE. THIS MAY CREATE AREAS OF BLOWING DUST AND REDUCED
VISIBILITIES...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE I-25 CORRIDOR FROM KPUB SOUTH
TO THE NEW MEXICO STATE LINE. TONIGHT A COLD FRONT WILL DROP DOWN
THE E PLAINS...SO EXPECT A WIND SHIFT TO THE N-NW BETWEEN 04Z-06Z.

KALS...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS. SW WINDS ARE
FORECAST TO STRENGTHEN THIS AFTN WITH GUSTS TO 20-25 MPH
POSSIBLE. LIGHT SNOW WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER THE MTS TO THE
WEST...THOUGH MAINLY NORTH OF THE SLV.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL...EAST
CENTRAL...SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST COLORADO.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

A QUICK MOVING STORM SYSTEM WILL MOVE ACROSS COLORADO THIS AFTERNOON
THROUGH THIS EVENING.  VERY STRONG WINDS ARE FORECAST TO ACCOMPANY
THIS STORM SYSTEM AS IT PASSES ACROSS THE REGION.  HIGHER ELEVATIONS
WILL LIKELY SEE WINDS GUSTING IN EXCESS OF 70 MPH...WHILE LOWER
ELEVATION AREAS ALONG AND WEST OF INTERSTATE 25...ESPECIALLY AREAS
THAT ARE PRONE TO STRONG WINDS...COULD SEE GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 50
MPH.  AREAS ON THE PLAINS THAT SEE THE STRONG WINDS WILL LIKELY SEE
BLOWING DUST.  THE BLOWING DUST...COMBINED WITH STRONG CROSS WINDS
WILL LIKELY PRODUCE VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS...PARTICULARLY
ON INTERSTATE 25 FROM PUEBLO...SOUTH TO NEAR TRINIDAD.  IN
ADDITION...LOW HUMIDITY VALUES ARE FORECAST SOUTH OF HIGHWAY
50...WHICH WHEN COMBINED WITH THE STRONG WINDS...WILL LEAD TO
DANGEROUS FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS.  EXTREME CAUTION IS ADVISED WITH
ANY OUTDOOR BURNING ACTIVITIES.

SNOW IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP BY LATE MORNING TO EARLY AFTERNOON ALONG
THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE.  THE HEAVIEST SNOW IS EXPECTED OVER THE
CENTRAL MOUNTAINS WHERE 1 TO 3 INCHES OF SNOW ARE EXPECTED.  LIGHTER
AMOUNTS ARE FORECAST FOR THE LA GARITA AND SAN JUAN RANGES.  THE
SNOW WILL COMBINE WITH THE STRONG WINDS TO PRODUCE BLOWING AND
DRIFTING SNOW OVER THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS.  THIS WILL LEAD TO
DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS OVER AREA PASSES OF LAKE COUNTY.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY

A COUPLE WEATHER SYSTEMS MOVING THROUGH FAST WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT
WILL BRING PERIODS OF STRONG WINDS AND SNOW TO THE CENTRAL
MOUNTAINS DURING THE MID TO LATE WEEK TIME FRAME. THE HEAVIEST SNOW IS
EXPECTED TO FALL ON WEDNESDAY...AND AGAIN ON FRIDAY WITH A FEW
INCHES OF WIND DRIVEN SNOW POSSIBLE ACROSS THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS
OF THE SAWATCH AND MOSQUITO RANGES. THE REMAINDER OF THE MOUNTAINS
WILL ALSO SEE WINDY CONDITIONS...BUT SNOWFALL AMOUNTS WILL BE
LIGHTER AND MORE LOCALIZED.

THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS MAY SEE MORE WIND THAN SNOW FOR THE WEDNESDAY
NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY TIME FRAME...AS FORECAST MODELS ARE
TRENDING TOWARDS A MORE NORTHWARD STORM TRACK. AT THIS TIME IT
APPEARS THAT ISOLATED SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE ALONG WITH
MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES FOR SATURDAY ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS.
THE EXACT TRACK OF THESE LATE WEEK SYSTEMS IS STILL UNCERTAIN SO
THOSE WITH TRAVEL OR OUTDOOR PLANS LATE IN THE WEEK THROUGH EARLY
NEXT WEEKEND SHOULD STAY INFORMED OF THE LATEST FORECASTS.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

WEATHER CONDITIONS THAT MEET REPORTING CRITERIA FOR SPOTTERS WILL BE
LIKELY TODAY AND TONIGHT OVER THE MOUNTAINS.
