AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
944 PM MDT MON MAR 17 2014

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 933 PM MDT MON MAR 17 2014

TONIGHT...COLD FRONT IS MOVING SOUTH ACROSS NORTHERN COLORADO AND
WILL SHIFT SOUTH ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS THROUGH 2 AM. CONTINUED
GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS...WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT WITH
LOCALIZED AREAS OF BLOWING DUST. SNOW LOOKS TO REMAIN CONFINED TO
THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE...WITH AN INCH OR TWO POSSIBLE OVER THE
CENTRAL MOUNTAINS.

TUESDAY...MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO THE EXPECTED WINDS BASED ON THE
LATEST 00Z MODEL ANALYSIS AND ISSUED HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE EXPECTED
WEATHER CONDITIONS. A SECONDARY COLD FRONT OVER WYOMING IS
FORECAST TO MOVE SOUTH ACROSS COLORADO EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. A
STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE REGION WILL LEAD TO WIDESPREAD
STRONG WINDS...SOME OF WHICH COULD BE DAMAGING ACROSS THE PLAINS.
GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH ARE LIKELY...ESPECIALLY EAST OF A
COLORADO SPRINGS...TO PUEBLO...TO KIM LINE. VERY DRY CONDITIONS
AND EXPOSED GROUNDS WILL ALSO LEAD TO WIDESPREAD AREAS OF BLOWING
DUST...WITH VISIBILITIES DROPPING TO OR BELOW 1/4 MILE. VERY
DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED DUE TO THE BLOWING DUST
AND CROSS WINDS ON EAST-WEST HIGHWAYS ACROSS THE PLAINS.

ALSO A BIT WORRIED ABOUT THE MORNING DRIVING CONDITIONS ACROSS
NORTHERN EL PASO COUNTY...INCLUDING I-25 AND MONUMENT HILL. MODELS
DEVELOPING SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY AROUND DAYBREAK...AND WHEN
COMBINED WITH THE VERY STRONG WINDS...WILL LIKELY PRODUCE VERY
DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS. EXTREME CAUTION IS ADVISED FOR THE
MORNING COMMUTE IN THIS AREA.  MOZLEY

UPDATE ISSUED AT 829 PM MDT MON MAR 17 2014

UPDATED TO TAKE DOWN THE BLOWING DUST ADVISORY AND THE RED FLAG
WARNING AS WINDS HAVE BEEN SLOWLY SUBSIDING. ALSO BROUGHT IN SOME
OF THE LATEST OBS GRIDS.  -KT

UPDATE ISSUED AT 610 PM MDT MON MAR 17 2014

GETTING SPOTTER REPORTS AND ASOS REPORTS AT KLHX OF VISIBILITIES
DOWN TO 1 TO 1/4 MILE AT TIMES IN BLOWING DUST. WEB CAMS ACROSS
SOUTHEAST CO ALSO SHOWING BLOWING DUST...THOUGH VIS DOESN'T LOOK
TOO BAD IN MOST LOCALS. HAVE PUT UP A BLOWING DUST ADVISORY UNTIL
8 PM THIS EVENING. WINDS SHOULD DECREASE ENOUGH AFTER THAT TO
MITIGATE THE BLOWING DUST SOME. HOWEVER TOMORROW LOOKS LIKE
ANOTHER DAY FOR BLOWING DUST...AND PROBABLY MORE WIDESPREAD THAN
TODAY'S. WILL WAIT FOR THE 00Z RUNS AND UPDATE FORECASTS FOR
POSSIBLE HEADLINES FOR HIGH WINDS AND BLOWING DUST FOR TOMORROW.
-KT

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 330 PM MDT MON MAR 17 2014

...LOTS OF WIND NEXT 24H...

CURRENTLY...MANY LOCATIONS HAVE BEGUN TO "RED FLAG" ACROSS THE
PLAINS AS WINDS WERE GUSTING OVER 25 MPH AND RH VALUES WERE WELL
BELOW 15% (MOST RH VALUES IN SINGLE DIGITS).  ALL DWPTS OVER THE
PLAINS WERE IN THE SINGLE DIGITS OR NEGATIVE VALUES. DENSE HIGH
CLOUDS OVER THE AREA EARLIER THIS MORNING ARE MOVING SLOWLY EAST.
TEMPS OVER THE PLAINS WERE GENERALLY AOA 70F AT 2 PM.

REST OF TODAY...

SHORT RANGE GUIDANCE INDICATES WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE OVER
THE REGION AND EXPECT WINDS WILL BE GUSTING TO 35KNT OR MORE OVER
THE PLAINS BY MID AFTERNOON. WINDS AT KALS AND MONARCH PASS WERE
35KT AND 50KT RESPECTIVELY LAST HOUR. RED FLAG CONDITIONS WILL
INTENSIFY AS THE AFTERNOON PROGRESSES. CLOUDS WILL GRADUALLY
DECREASE OVER THE PLAINS WHILE INCREASING OVER THE CONTDVD. SNOW
WILL DEVELOP OVER THE CONTDVD...ESPECIALLY C MTN AREAS...BY LATER
TODAY.

TONIGHT...

WINDS WILL KEEP UP DURING THE EARLY EVENING BUT WILL ONLY DECREASE
SOMEWHAT DURING THE LATE EVENING BEFORE PICKING UP AND BECOME RATHER
STRONG BY SUNRISE. THIS IS IN RESPONSE TO TIGHT SHORT WAVE MOVING
ACROSS EXTREME SE CO. VERY TIGHT GRADIENT ALOFT WILL ALLOW WINDS OF
60 TO 65 KNTS TO DEVELOP ACROSS NE CO TONIGHT AND GRADUALLY MOVE SSE
WITH TIME. IT WILL BE VERY WINDY FOR TOMORROW MORNINGS RUSH HOUR
ACROSS MANY AREAS OF THE PLAINS.

SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW WILL CONTINUE OVER THE CENTRAL MTNS TONIGHT.
OVERALL ACCUMS WILL BE 2-4" WITH LOCALLY HEAVIER AMOUNTS ON NW
SLOPES.

TUESDAY...

HIGH WIND WATCH ISSUED FOR AREAS GENERALLY EAST OF PUEBLO AND
TRINIDAD. GUIDANCE INDICATES THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL DROP DOWN
THE FAR E PLAINS ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE UPPER LOW DURING MID DAY
AND MOVE EAST AS THE AFTERNOON PROGRESSES. WE WILL SEE STRONG
WINDS AND BLOWING DUST ON THE PLAINS TOMORROW. THE QUESTION IS HOW
STRONG? BELIEVE THE GREATEST CHANCE OF WINDS EXCEEDING HIGH WIND
WARNING CRITERIA WILL OCCUR ACROSS KIOWA AND PROWERS COUNTIES. I
AM ALSO CONCERNED THE NORTHEAST SECTIONS OF EL PASO COUNTY MAY
ALSO SEE HIGH WIND CRITERIA TOMORROW...BUT WILL ALLOW LATER SHIFTS
TO LOOK AT DATA AND UPGRADE THIS AREA IF NEEDED.

PERIODS OF SNOW WILL CONTINUE OVER THE C MTNS TOMORROW. WE WILL
LIKELY ALSO SEE SNOW SHOWERS OVER THE S MTNS AND PIKES PEAK AREA
DURING THE AFTERNOON AS AREA IS FCST TO BECOME QUITE UNSTABLE. SOME
LIGHT WIND DRIVEN SNOW WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE ON THE PALMER
DVD...ESPECIALLY DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON TIME PD. \/HODANISH

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 320 PM MDT MON MAR 17 2014

METEOROLOGICAL ISSUES DURING THE LONGER TERM INCLUDE INCREASED
PRECIPITATION CHANCES FROM TUESDAY NIGHT INTO POSSIBLY EARLY
WEDNESDAY AND THEN AGAIN DURING THE WEEKEND...GUSTY WINDS AS
WELL AS ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER THREAT AT TIMES AND TEMPERATURES.

RECENT LONGER TERM COMPUTER SIMULATIONS...REAL-TIME DATA AND
FORECAST MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATE THAT WINDS WILL BE ON A
DECREASING TREND TUESDAY NIGHT WHILE PRECIPITATION WILL BE
POSSIBLE OVER PORTIONS OF THE INTERSTATE 25 CORRIDOR...EASTERN
MOUNTAINS AND THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS FROM TUESDAY NIGHT INTO
POSSIBLY EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING AS AN UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE IMPACTS THE REGION.

THE FORECAST DISTRICT SHOULD THEN EXPERIENCE TRANQUIL
METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS FROM LATER WEDNESDAY INTO AT
LEAST FRIDAY AS GENERALLY DRY ZONAL UPPER FLOW DEVELOPS
OVER SOUTHERN COLORADO.  AT THIS TIME...IT APPEARS THAT AN
ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER THREAT MAY DEVELOP OVER SECTIONS
OF THE FORECAST DISTRICT BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

NEXT ROUND OF UNSETTLED AND COOLER CONDITIONS SHOULD THEN BE
EXPERIENCED BY THIS WEEKEND AS NEXT UPPER SYSTEM MOVES IMPACTS THE
CWFA. WARMEST CONDITIONS OF THE LONGER TERM SHOULD BE NOTED ON
THURSDAY...WHILE COOLEST TEMPERATURES ARE ANTICIPATED DURING THE
WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 320 PM MDT MON MAR 17 2014

WINDS WILL BE PRIMARY CONCERN AT THE TAF SITES NEXT 24H. WINDS WILL
BE GUSTY FROM THE WEST TODAY AND THIS EVENING. G35KTS ARE LIKELY.
SOME BLOWING DUST WILL BE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY FARTHER EAST OVER
THE PLAINS. WINDS WILL RELAX SOMEWHAT TONIGHT BUT WILL INCREASE
DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS AND BECOME QUITE STRONG AFTER SUNRISE
TOMORROW. G45KT+ WILL BE POSSIBLE DURING THE MORNING AND EARLY
AFTERNOON AT THE TAF SITES. WIND WILL SLOWLY DECREASE DURING THE MID
AND LATE AFTERNOON TIME PERIOD AS THE STORM OVER SW NEB MOVES EAST.
EXCEPT FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF BLOWING DUST RESTRICTING
VIS...CONDITIONS SHOULD BE VFR NEXT 24H.
