.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 339 AM MDT TUE MAY 13 2014

CURRENTLY...AN UPPER LEVEL LOW CENTERED OVER SOUTH CENTRAL COLORADO
IS PRODUCING MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOWFALL ALONG THE LA GARITA AND SAN
JUAN RANGES EARLY THIS MORNING.  LIGHT SNOW HAS BEEN FALLING OVER
THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS AND SAN LUIS VALLEY A WELL.  WINDS HAVE
REMAINED ELEVATED ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS AND CLOUDS HAVE SPREAD
ACROSS REGION.  THIS HAS HELPED KEEP THE OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE MID
30S...WITH SO FAR THE ONLY AREA SEEING FREEZING TEMPERATURES BEING
EL PASO COUNTY.  A COUPLE OF MORE DEGREES OF COOLING ARE POSSIBLE
WITH A FEW LOW LYING AREAS SEEING TEMPERATURES NEAR FREEZING THROUGH
SUNRISE.

TODAY...THE UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL TRACK SOUTHEAST INTO NEW MEXICO
THROUGH THE MID MORNING HOURS.  EXPECT THE HEAVY TO MODERATE SNOW TO
CONTINUE OVER THE SAN JUAN RANGE THROUGH AROUND 8 AM AS THE SYSTEM
PUSHES SOUTH.  AN ADDITIONAL 2 TO 4 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE THIS MORNING
OVER THE SAN JUAN RANGE...WHILE THE REST OF THE MOUNTAIN AREAS SEE
ONLY AN ADDITIONAL INCH OR TWO.  AS THE UPPER SYSTEM MOVES SOUTH
INTO NEW MEXICO...BROAD NORTHWEST FLOW WILL MOVE ACROSS ALL OF
SOUTHERN COLORADO.  WEAK ENERGY IN THE FLOW WILL HELP TRIGGER
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWER ACTIVITY OVER THE MOUNTAINS FOR THIS
AFTERNOON AFTER A BRIEF LULL IN ACTIVITY THROUGH THE MID MORNING
HOURS.  MOUNTAIN AREAS MY SEE AN INCH OR TWO OF ADDITIONAL SNOWFALL
THIS AFTERNOON OUT OF THE SHOWER ACTIVITY.  TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN
COOL ACROSS THE PLAINS FOR THIS AFTERNOON.  HIGHS WILL WARM INTO THE
LOWER TO MID 50S FOR MUCH OF THE PLAINS.

TONIGHT...NORTHWEST FLOW WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE REGION INTO
WEDNESDAY MORNING.  MODELS ALL IN AGREEMENT THAT THE SHOWER ACTIVITY
ACROSS THE REGION WILL DISSIPATE THROUGH MIDNIGHT...WITH DRY
CONDITIONS DURING THE LATE NIGHT HOURS.  CLEARING SKIES AND LIGHTER
SURFACE WINDS WILL HELP TEMPERATURES FALL INTO THE LOWER TO MID 30S
FOR MUCH OF THE EASTERN PLAINS TONIGHT.  THOSE WITH SENSITIVE
OUTDOOR PLANTS SHOULD TAKE PRECAUTIONS TO PROTECT THEIR PROPERTY.
MOZLEY

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 339 AM MDT TUE MAY 13 2014

...COOL AND UNSETTLED NEXT FEW DAYS THEN MILDER WITH INCREASING
MOISTURE LATE FRIDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND...

A WARMUP WILL GET UNDERWAY WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY BUT PROGRESS
WILL BE SLOW AS NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT BRINGS INTERMITTENT
DISTURBANCES THROUGH EACH DAY.  THIS WILL TEND TO BRING RENEWED
SURGES OF COOL AIR SOUTH THROUGH THE REGION IN ADDITION TO RENEWED
CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING...MAINLY OVER
THE MOUNTAINS...BUT ALSO OVER THE LOWER ELEVATIONS AT TIMES.  REALLY
NOTHING TOO WIDESPREAD...BUT HIT OR MISS ACTIVITY. WILL LIKELY BE
LOOKING AT A FREEZE EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING...AND POSSIBLY STILL A
LIGHT FREEZE IN SOME AREAS THURSDAY MORNING.

FROM LATE FRIDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND...THE PATTERN WILL REMAIN
UNSETTLED...BUT IT WILL START TO TRANSITION FROM A COOL...LOW
MOISTURE CONTENT ENVIRONMENT TO A MILDER...HIGHER MOISTURE CONTENT
ENVIRONMENT.  THE MAIN IMPLICATION HERE IS THAT WE WILL SEE BETTER
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES AND GREATER POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN.

A DISTURBANCE MOVING THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING WILL START
THE TRANSITION.  SURFACE DEWPOINTS START OUT IN THE 20S AND 30S
EARLY IN THE DAY FRIDAY...BUT THEN RISE UP INTO THE 40S ACROSS THE
PLAINS FRIDAY EVENING FOLLOWING PASSAGE OF A BOUNDARY.  THE PATTERN
CHANGE CONTINUES SATURDAY EVENING WITH A CONTINUED INFLUX OF MORE 40
TO NEAR 50 DEGREE DEWPOINT AIR ACROSS THE PLAINS.  BY SUNDAY
AFTERNOON...SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT INCREASES OVER THE AREA AHEAD OF AN
APPROACHING TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN UNITED STATES.  WHILE THE
SOUTHWEST FLOW DOES TEND TO DRY OUT MOST OF THE AREA...IT ALSO ACTS
TO SET UP A POSSIBLE DRY LINE ACROSS THE FAR EASTERN PLAINS...IN
TRUE SUMMERTIME FASHION.  IF THE GFS40 WAS A PERFECT MODEL...
DEWPOINTS WOULD RANGE FROM 15 OVER SPRINGFIELD TO ABOUT 50 OVER
HOLLY AT 00Z MONDAY.  THIS WOULD DEFINITELY CHANGE THE LANDSCAPE OF
THINGS...INTRODUCING THE THREAT OF TRUE SEVERE WEATHER ALONG THE DRY
LINE.

CURRENTLY...THE GFS40 HAS THE DRYLINE STILL OVER THE FAR EASTERN
COLORADO PLAINS AT 18Z MONDAY...BUT THEN FLUSHES IT ALL QUICKLY
EASTWARD IN THE AFTERNOON AS THE WESTERN UNITED STATES TROUGH
CONTINUES TO ADVANCE.  IT'S A LITTLE HARD TO PIN DOWN ALL THE
DETAILS RIGHT NOW BUT A PATTERN CHANGE TO A MORE TYPICAL MID TO LATE
MAY CONVECTIVE REGIME SEEMS TO BE IN THE WORKS.  TIME TO REALLY
START GEARING UP FOR SEVERE WEATHER...INCLUDING BURN SCAR FLASH
FLOOD POTENTIAL...OVER THE WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK.  LW
