AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DENVER/BOULDER CO
948 AM MDT SAT MAY 9 2015

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 943 AM MDT SAT MAY 9 2015

BIG CONCERNS REGARDING THE CHANGEOVER TO SNOW TONIGHT. EXPECT THIS
WILL HAPPEN EARLY IN THE EVENING WITH THE MDLS DEVELOPING
SOME MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW OVERNIGHT. WE HAVE ISSUED A WINTER
STORM WATCH FOR THE FRONT RANGE FOOTHILLS...URBAN CORRIDOR AND
MOST OF THE NORTHEAST PLAINS FROM 9 PM TONIGHT THROUGH TO 9 AM
SUNDAY MORNING. A LITTLE UNUSUAL TO HAVE A WATCH...BUT STILL
UNCERTAIN AS TO WHERE THE HEAVY BANDS WILL SET UP. WL UPDATE THE
HIGHLIGHT WITH THE AFTERNOON PACKAGE. ALSO HAVE INCLUDED LOGAN
COUNTY IN THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH. SOME ROAD CLOSURES ALREADY WITH
SOME OF THE HEAVY RAIN/RUNOFF THIS MORNING.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 745 AM MDT SAT MAY 9 2015

WITH ALL THE ONGOING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE STARTED THE
FLASH FLOOD WATCH THIS MORNING INSTEAD OF NOON TODAY. WILL BE
BUMPING ALL THE POPS UP THIS MORNING AS WELL. MAY ALSO ADJUST THE
GRIDS TO MOVE UP THE CHANGEOVER TO SNOW...AFTER MIDNIGHT...FOR THE
URBAN CORRIDOR.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT )
ISSUED AT 430 AM MDT SAT MAY 9 2015

THE STAGE HAS BEEN SET FOR A REALLY LONG DAY TODAY AND TONIGHT.
AREAS OF HEAVY RAIN YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AND OVERNIGHT HAVE KEPT
SOIL MOISTURE CONDITIONS NEAR SATURATION ALONG THE I-25 CORRIDOR
AND EASTWARD ONTO THE PLAINS. BANDS OF SHOWERS OVER ELBERT AND
MORGAN COUNTIES OVERNIGHT ADDED TO THE RAINS THAT FELL ACROSS
JEFFERSON...BOULDER AND WELD COUNTIES LAST EVENING. AND
TODAY...THE LATE SEASON UPPER LOW WILL BE APPROACHING SOUTHERN
COLORADO WITH EVEN STRONGER DYNAMIC FORCING THAN WE HAD YESTERDAY.
SHOWERS ARE ALREADY DEVELOPING OVER PUEBLO AND EL PASO
COUNTIES...WITH THEIR SIGHTS SET ON THE I-25 CORRIDOR AND ADJACENT
PLAINS. MULTIPLE WAVES OF SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE DAY AND
THIS EVENING AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES INTO SOUTHERN COLORADO BY
EVENING. AT THE SURFACE...A DEEPENING SURFACE LOW OVER SOUTHEAST
COLORADO WILL HELP TO REINFORCE EASTERLY TO SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS AT
LOW LEVELS. DEW POINTS WILL BE IN THE LOWER 50S AS MOISTURE FROM
KANSAS IS ADVECTED INTO THE REGION. IN ADDITION TO THE LOCALLY
HEAVY RAIN...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER
THE EAST-CENTRAL PART OF THE STATE. THE PRESENCE OF THE VERTICALLY
STACKED SURFACE AND UPPER LEVEL LOWS WILL MAKE SUPERCELLS WITH
SHORT-LIVED FUNNEL CLOUDS OR TORNADOES A POSSIBILITY.

MODEL QPF FORECASTS INDICATE THAT FROM ONE TO TWO INCHES OF RAIN
IS POSSIBLE ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA BY THIS EVENING.
FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE VALUES ARE GENERALLY IN THE 1.0 TO 1.4 INCH
PER HOUR RANGE DUE TO THE SATURATED SOIL CONDITIONS. WILL BE
REPLACING THE FLOOD ADVISORY AND AREAL FLOOD WARNINGS WITH A FLASH
FLOOD WATCH THAT EXTENDS FROM THE FOOTHILLS EASTWARD TO WASHINGTON
AND LINCOLN COUNTIES. HEAVY RAIN SHOWERS ARE GOING TO PRODUCE
RAPID HYDROLOGIC RESPONSES IN CREEKS AND RIVERS AS WELL AS
FLOODING PROBLEMS IN MORE URBAN AREAS. THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL
BE IN EFFECT FROM NOON THROUGH 9 PM.

LATER TONIGHT...THE COLD AIR ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER LOW WILL
DROP TEMPERATURES ENOUGH FOR THE SNOW LEVEL TO DROP DOWN TO 6000
FEET OR LESS. IN THE MOUNTAINS...THE COPIOUS MOISTURE AND COLD
TEMPERATURES WILL COMBINE FOR HEAVY SNOW ACCUMULATIONS FROM LATE
THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH THE NIGHT. UP TO A FOOT OF NEW SNOW IS
EXPECTED OVER THE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS. WILL UPGRADE THE WINTER
STORM WATCH TO A WINTER STORM WARNING TO COVER THIS SITUATION. ON
THE PLAINS...SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF A COUPLE INCHES WILL BE
POSSIBLE...DEPENDING ON WHEN RAIN CHANGES OVER TO SNOW.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 430 AM MDT SAT MAY 9 2015

THE UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM WILL BE NR THE CO/KS/NE BORDER AREA BY
12Z AND THEN MOVE INTO NCNTRL NE BY LATE AFTN.  QG ASCENT WILL
GRADUALLY SHIFT NE OF THE AREA AS WELL DURING THE MORNING HOURS WITH
PCPN ENDING BY MID MORNING ALONG THE FRONT RANGE AND BY NOON OVER
THE FAR ERN PLAINS.  THERE IS STILL SOME POTENTIAL FOR HEAVIER SNOW
OVER PORTIONS OF THE PLAINS THRU MID MORNING BEFORE THE PCPN
SHIFTS AWAY FM THE AREA. IN ADDITION GUSTY NLY WINDS WILL BE IN
PLACE AS WELL WHICH WILL CREATE VERY POOR VISIBILITIES IN OPEN
AREAS.

IN THE MTNS THERE WILL BE FAVORABLE OROGRAPHICS THRU THE DAY HOWEVER
MOISTURE SHOULD BEGIN TO DECREASE BY AFTN.  ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATIONS
SHOULD BE MANLY ON THE LIGHT SIDE.  AS FOR HIGHS ON SUN READINGS
WILL STAY MAINLY IN THE 40S OVER NERN CO.

BY MON A FLAT UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BUILD OVER THE AREA WITH MAINLY
DRY CONDITIONS.  ENOUGH MOISTURE MAY LINGER IN THE MTNS FOR SOME
WDLY SCT SHOWERS.  TEMPS WILL REMAIN COOL OVER NERN CO AS READINGS
ONLY RISE INTO THE 50S FOR AFTN HIGHS.  ON TUE THE FLOW ALOFT WILL
BECOME MORE SWLY AS SFC LOW PRES DEVELOPS FM CNTRL WY INTO CNTRL CO.
THIS WILL ALLOW FOR INCREASE IN LOW LVL MOISTURE OVER NERN CO BY
AFTN IN SELY FLOW.  OVERALL THERE WILL BE ENOUGH INSTABILITY BY AFTN
TO MENTION SOME WDLY SCT TSTMS. TEMPS SHOULD FINALLY RISE BACK TO
SEASONAL LEVELS OVER NERN CO.

ON WED THE FLOW ALOFT WILL REMAIN SWLY AS SFC LOW PRES EXTENDS FM
CNTRL WY INTO ERN CO.  LOW LVL MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE
OVER NERN CO IN SELY FLOW WITH HIGHER CAPES.  OVERALL WILL CONTINUE
WITH A CHC OF TSTMS OVER THE PLAINS.  IN THE MTNS ENOUGH MOISTURE
WILL EXIST FOR AT LEAST SOME WDLY SCT TSTMS.  HIGHS ON WED WILL RISE
INTO THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S OVER NERN CO.

BY THU SWLY FLOW ALOFT WILL REMAIN OVER THE AREA.  THE GFS SHOWS A
DISTURBANCE MOVING ACROSS THE AREA WHILE THE ECMWF DOES NOT.  AT
THIS POINT WILL KEEP IN A SLIGHT CHC IN ALL AREAS FOR THE AFTN AND
EVENING HOURS.  IN ADDITION THE GFS SHOWS A WK FNT MOVING INTO NERN
CO WHILE THE ECMWF DOES NOT.  FOR NOW WILL KEEP HIGHS SIMILAR TO WED
ACROSS NERN CO.  BY FRI AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL DVLP OVER THE
GREAT BASIN WITH SWLY FLOW REMAINING OVER THE AREA.  THUS WILL KEEP
IN A SLIGHT CHC OF TSTMS OVER THE AREA WITH TEMPS NEAR SEASONAL
LEVELS.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY MORNING)
ISSUED AT 745 AM MDT SAT MAY 9 2015

LOW CEILINGS AND PERIODS OF RAIN WILL DOMINATE THE FORECAST TODAY.
THE RAIN COULD BE HEAVY AT TIMES ALONG WITH SOME EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS. IFR CONDITIONS WILL BE THE RULE WITH ONLY TEMPORARY
IMPROVEMENT BETWEEN PASSING RAIN SHOWERS. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN
WARM ENOUGH FOR RAIN INTO THE MID-EVENING. AFTER ABOUT 10
PM...TEMPERATURES WILL BE COOLING OFF AND A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW
IS EXPECTED. SOMETIME AFTER MIDNIGHT THE PRECIPITATION MAY CHANGE
TO ALL SNOW WITH ONE OR TWO INCHES OF ACCUMULATION BY SUNRISE.
STILL ASSESSING THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE SNOW ON SUNDAY MORNING.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 751 AM MDT SAT MAY 9 2015

A PERFECT STORM...SO TO SPEAK...AS HEAVY RAIN IS EXPECTED TO FALL
ON ALREADY SATURATED SOILS. RIVER RESPONSES TO THE HEAVY RAIN WILL
BE RAPID...WITH RIVERS...CREEKS AND STREAMS ALREADY RUNNING CLOSE
TO BANKFULL CONDITIONS. THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL HIGHLIGHT THE
FACT THAT IT IS NOT GOING TO TAKE MUCH RAIN TO CAUSE PROBLEMS.
HEAVY RAIN WILL BE POSSIBLE FROM THE FOOTHILLS WHERE UPSLOPE
FORCING WILL BE STRONGEST OUT ACROSS THE PLAINS WHERE MANY AREAS
HAVE SEEN PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN OVER THE LAST COUPLE DAYS. TOO
MUCH WATER AND NOWHERE TO STORE IT.

A FLOOD WARNING FOR THE SOUTH PLATTE RIVER FROM GREELEY OUT TO THE
NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE STATE WILL BE IN EFFECT FOR THE NEXT FEW
DAYS.

SOME FLASH FLOOD WARNING ALREADY ISSUED THIS MORNING SO HAVE
ALREADY STARTED THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR MUCH OF THE AREA THIS

ADDITION...RAIN SHOWERS IN THE FOOTHILLS BELOW 7 THOUSAND FEET
MAY CAUSE THE RELEASE OF ROCK OR MUD SLIDES IN THE FOOTHILL
CANYONS. THESE ROCK SLIDES CAN OCCUR WITH LITTLE WARNING.

ON THE FAR EASTERN PLAINS THERE IS ALSO A THREAT OF SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS TODAY AS MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR IS BEING DRAWN INTO
THE STATE FROM KANSAS. THE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR PROFILE IS GOING TO
MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR SOME THUNDERSTORMS OVER LINCOLN AND
WASHINGTON COUNTIES TO BECOME SEVERE...PRODUCING LARGE HAIL AND
TORNADOES.

THE SNOW LEVEL WILL BE AROUND 7000 FEET THIS AFTERNOON AND
WILL LOWER TO 5000 FEET TONIGHT AS COLD AIR BEHIND THE STORM
SYSTEM INTRUDES FROM THE NORTH. AREAS STORM TOTALS OF 8 TO 16
INCHES ABOVE 9 THOUSAND FEET. IN THE FRONT RANGE FOOTHILLS...URBAN
CORRIDOR AND ADJACENT PLAINS...RAIN WILL CHANGE QUICKLY OVER TO
SNOW THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. A WINTER STORM WATCH IS IN EFFECT
FOR THE FRONT RANGE FOOTHILLS...URBAN CORRIDOR AND NORTHEAST
PLAINS FROM 9 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING.

AFTERNOON BEFORE TAPERING OFF FROM SOUTH TO NORTH SUNDAY EVENING.
TOTAL ACCUMULATIONS OF 5 TO 10 INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER THE
PLAINS BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON. GUSTY NORTH WINDS UP TO 40 MPH MAY
PRODUCE POOR VISIBILITIES IN OPEN AREAS THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS.
BY EARLY AFTERNOON CONDITIONS WILL SLOWLY IMPROVE OVER NORTHEAST
COLORADO.

IN THE MOUNTAINS PERIODS OF SNOW WILL LINGER THROUGH THE AFTERNOON
HOURS WITH ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATIONS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES WITH STORM
TOTAL OF 8 TO 16 INCHES.

A DRYING TREND IS EXPECTED FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY HOWEVER A BETTER
CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAY RETURN BY WEDNESDAY. TEMPERATURES
WILL GRADUALLY RETURN TO SEASONAL NORMALS.
