AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
1026 AM MST THU FEB 6 2014

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 952 AM MST THU FEB 6 2014

UPDATED FCST TO ALLOW WIND CHILL ADVISORY TO EXPIRE...WITH TEMPS
NOW RISING ABOVE ZERO. ALSO TWEAKED POPS FOR LATER TODAY...CONTDVD
WILL CONTINUE TO SEE SNOW WHILE ERN RANGES AND PLAINS SHOULD STAY
MAINLY DRY. ROSE

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 243 AM MST THU FEB 6 2014

...24 MORE HOURS OF COLD...

...SNOW ALONG THE CONTDVD...

CURRENTLY...

IT WAS VERY COLD OVER THE REGION AS OF 3 AM. TEMPERATURES WERE
GENERALLY -10 TO -20F ALONG THE I-25 CORRIDOR WHILE FARTHER EAST
TEMPS WERE IN THE NEGATIVE SINGLE DIGITS. CLOUDINESS OVER THE
EASTERN PLAINS WAS LIKELY KEEPING TEMPS UP A BIT. OVER THE VALLEYS
AND MTNS TEMPS WERE GENERALLY ZERO TO -10F. WARMER AIR WAS TRYING TO
SNEAK UP IN THE SAN LUIS VALLEY AS TEMPS WERE IN THE TEENS ON THE
FAR S VALLEY FLOOR AND ADJ SLOPES OF THE MTNS. NOTICEABLY WARMER AIR
WAS NOTED OVER THE WEST SLOPE AND NW NEW MEXICO (TEMPS IN THE 20S).
SNOW WAS FALLING OVER THE CONTDVD AS PER OBS.

TODAY...

WE WILL BEGIN TO WARM UP MOST LOCATIONS TODAY. AREAS THAT WILL NOT
SEE TOO MUCH OF A WARM UP INCLUDE AREAS OF THE PLAINS GENERALLY
BELOW 5000 FEET AS THIS COLD ARCTIC AIR IS LIKELY TO REMAIN
ENTRENCHED OVER THESE REGIONS FOR THE ENTIRE DAY AS SFC HIGH
PRESSURE REMAINS TO OUR EAST. AREAS GENERALLY ABOVE THIS ELEVATION
WILL LIKELY WARM UP (RELATIVE TO YDAY)...WITH HIGHS IN THE TEEN AND
20S. AREAS WHICH WILL SEE THE MOST NOTICEABLE WARM UP WILL BE JUST
EAST OF THE ALL THE MTNS. THE DEMARCATION BETWEEN THE ARCTIC AIR ON
THE PLAINS AND THE WARMER AIR COMING OFF THE MTNS WILL LIKELY BE
RATHER SHARP...HOWEVER TRYING TO FORECAST THE EXACT LOCATION OF THIS
GRADIENT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE.

THE MTNS ALONG THE CONTDVD WILL LIKELY SEE STEADY LIGHT TO OCCNL
MODERATE SNOW TODAY...WITH THE HEAVIER SNOW IN THE C MTNS. 2-4
INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE C MTNS WITH GENERALLY 1-3 OVER THE
SAN JUANS. BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL OCCUR IN THE MTNS.

TONIGHT...

I EXPECT A SHARP GRADIENT ONCE AGAIN IN TEMPS TONIGHT. AREAS
GENERALLY WEST OF I-25 AND THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE RATON MESA
WILL LIKELY SEE LOW TEMPS IN THE TEENS WHILE FARTHER EAST ON THE
PLAINS TEMPS WILL FALL INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS. THE SAN LUIS VALLEY
WILL BE COLD WITH TEMPS BELOW ZERO ON MOST OF THE VALLEY FLOOR.
SINGLE DIGITS AND TEENS WILL OCCUR IN THE MTNS.

SNOW WILL LIKELY PICK UP A BIT ALONG THE CONTDVD WITH ADDITIONAL
SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OVER THE SAN JUANS AND C MTNS. 2-4" IS LIKELY.
WINDS WILL BE IN THE 15-30 MPH RANGE AT THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS AT
TIMES. \/HODANISH

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 243 AM MST THU FEB 6 2014

OVERALL...GENERALLY A WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT ACROSS THE STATE
WILL KEEP THE THREAT OF SNOW IN PLACE FOR THE CONTDVD THROUGH TUE. A
SHOT AT SOME SNOW WILL RETURN TO THE EASTERN PLAINS FOR MON AND TUE
AS HIGH PRESSURE SINKS INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS OF THE US.

FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...BRISK W-NW FLOW ALOFT CONTINUES ACROSS THE
REGION...WITH A NEARLY CONSTANT STREAM OF MOISTURE DIRECTED AT THE
CONTDVD. ONGOING ADVISORY FOR THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF LAKE AND
CHAFFEE COUNTIES LOOKS GOOD THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE DAY
FRI...BUT LATER SHIFTS WILL MOST LIKELY HAVE TO EXTEND THROUGH SAT
MORN. OTHERWISE...TEMPS WILL GRADUALLY WARM IN THE LEE OF THE
SOUTHERN FRONT RANGE...ALONG THE I25 CORRIDOR. FARTHER EAST...CLOSER
TO THE KANSAS BORDER...THE COLDER AIR IS EXPECTED TO BE RELUCTANT TO
MOVE OUT...AND IN FACT WILL BE REINFORCED ON SUNDAY AS LLVL EASTERLY
FLOW REDEVELOPS.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY...STARTING LATE SUN NIGHT SFC HIGH PRESSURE DROPS
DOWN INTO THE CENTRAL US...PUSHING COLDER AIR AND MOISTURE BACK INTO
EASTERN CO. WIDESPREAD SNOW CHANCES WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE PLAINS ON
MON...WITH THE BEST SHOT AT SOME ACCUMULATING SNOW OCCURRING MON
EVE. FORECAST MAX TEMPS FOR MON AND TUE WILL LIKELY DROP FURTHER IN
FOLLOWING FORECAST ISSUANCES.

WEDNESDAY...SLIGHT RIDGING OVER THE DESERT SW IMPLIES SOME DRYING
FOR THE STATE AND PERHAPS A LACK OF SNOW BEGINNING WED. THE EC MODEL
IS SLIGHTLY MORE PESSIMISTIC...BUT FOR NOW WILL SIDE WITH THE GFS.
TEMPS WILL ONCE AGAIN BE ON THE REBOUND WITH MAX TEMPS IN THE 40S
FOR THE PLAINS. MOORE

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1020 AM MST THU FEB 6 2014

MAIN CONCERN WILL BE CHANCES FOR LIGHT PRECIP TODAY AND CIGS
TONIGHT. STILL A CHANCE OF FG AT KALS AND THE SAN LUIS
VALLEY...BUT BASED ON RECENT TRENDS NOT HIGH ENOUGH A PROB TO
EXPLICITLY MENTION IN THE TAF. COULD SEE SOME BR OR LOW CIGS EARLY
FRI MORNING. AT KPUB AND KCOS...SHOULD SEE GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT
LATER TONIGHT. KPUB HAS CLEARED AND SHOULD STAY FREE OF LOW CIGS
EXPECT POSSIBLY LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVE. COULD SEE A
PERIOD OF LOW CIGS AND POSSIBLY LIGHT PRECIP IN THE 23-03Z TIME
PERIOD...ALTHOUGH PRECIP CHANCES ARE LOW AND ANY PRECIP SHOULD BE
VERY LIGHT. VFR LIKELY FOR TOMORROW. ROSE
