BY 00Z TUESDAY...IT WILL MAKE ITS WAY INTO SOUTHEAST CO BY 12Z
TUESDAY. SNOW WILL DEVELOP IN THE MOUNTAINS LATE THIS AFTERNOON
BUT WILL INTENSIFY AS THE SYSTEM STRENGTHENS THIS EVENING. NOT
MUCH TO CONTEND WITH FOR DENVER AND THE NORTHEAST PLAINS TODAY
WITH TEMPERATURES CLOSE TO NORMAL. FOR TONIGHT...THE MDLS SHOW A
TIGHTLY WOUND TROUGH AT 500 MB WITH STRONG MID LEVEL QG ASCENT
OVER WESTERN CO THIS EVENING. WILL HOIST A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY
FOR ZONES 31 AND 33 TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY AFTN... HEAVIEST

THE FT COLLINS/GREELEY AREAS SOUTHWARD...MAINLY 1 TO 3 INCHES.

UPPER LEVEL LOW CENTERED OVER SOUTHEAST COLORADO WILL QUICKLY LIFT
NORTHEAST DURING THE DAY AND BE OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS TUESDAY
NIGHT. FOR THE FRONT RANGE AND EASTERN PLAINS...SNOW WILL BE FALLING
12Z TUESDAY MORNING. AS THE LOW PROGRESSES EAST...LOW LEVEL WINDS
WILL TURN WEST OF DUE NORTH. THIS WILL PRODUCE DOWNSLOPE AND LIKELY
CAUSE SNOW TO END DURING THE MORNING HOURS ALONG THE FRONT RANGE.
FARTHER EAST...SNOW WILL LINGER LONGER DUE TO A LACK OF DOWNSLOPE
AND LIFT ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE LOW. THIS SYSTEM WILL BE A QUICK
MOVER...SO SNOW WILL NOT LAST LONG. EXPECT 1-4 INCHES ALONG THE
FRONT RANGE WITH 3-7 OVER THE NORTHEAST CORNER WHERE LIFT WILL BE
BETTER. WILL HAVE A WINTER STORM WATCH FOR THE NORTHEAST CORNER
THROUGH TUESDAY. NORTHWEST FLOW BEHIND THE EXITING SYSTEM WILL
PRODUCE SNOW OVER THE MOUNTAINS...MAINLY NORTH OF I-70. SNOW IS

PERIODS OF LIGHT SNOW WILL LINGER IN THE MOUNTAINS TUESDAY NIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY UNDER A NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. DOWNSLOPE CONDITIONS WILL
KEEP THE PLAINS DRY WEDNESDAY. A WEAK WAVE AND STRONG JET WILL MOVE
INTO THE REGION LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND EARLY THURSDAY. THIS MAY
ENHANCE THE SNOW IN THE MOUNTAINS. WILL ADD LOW POPS TO THE FRONT
RANGE FOR THIS SYSTEM. IF ANY SNOW OCCURS ALONG THE FRONT
RANGE...IT LOOKS TO BE LIGHT. THE NORTHWEST FLOW WILL KEEP
TEMPERATURES BELOW NORMAL AND LIKELY BELOW FREEZING WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY.

AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BUILD OVER THE WESTERN U.S. FRIDAY AND
REMAIN OVER THE REGION THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL START A
WARMING TREND. BY THE WEEKEND...TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB ABOVE NORMAL
WITH HIGHS ABOVE 50 DEGREES FOR PARTS OF NORTHEAST COLORADO. ONLY
CHANCE FOR SNOW WILL BE IN THE MOUNTAINS LATE SUNDAY AS A WEAK
SYSTEM APPROACHES THE CENTRAL ROCKIES.
