AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
1035 AM MST SUN NOV 15 2015

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 345 AM MST SUN NOV 15 2015

CURRENTLY...CLEAR SKIES RULE ACROSS THE CWA WITH TEMPERATURES MAINLY
IN THE 20S ACROSS THE LOWER ELEVATIONS...TO THE SINGLE DIGITS TO THE
LOWERS 20S MOUNTAIN AND HIGH VALLEYS.

TODAY...DRY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL WITH THE DRY SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW
ALOFT. A SHORTWAVE WILL PASS THROUGH THE AREA...BUT WILL DO LITTLE
MORE THAN CAUSE A LITTLE CLOUDINESS.  HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL AGAIN
BE QUITE MILD FOR MID-NOVEMBER WITH READINGS REACHING THE LOWER 60S
TO AROUND 70 ACROSS THE PLAINS AND I-25 CORRIDOR...TO AROUND 50 HIGH
VALLEYS...AND 30S TO 40S ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS.

TONIGHT... AS THE POTENT WEATHER SYSTEM BEGINS TO INTERACT MORE WITH
THE SUBTROPICAL JET...A CUTOFF LOW WITH DEVELOP ACROSS THE GREAT
BASIN. SURFACE SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE CONTINENTAL
DIVIDE...CLOUDS WILL RAPIDLY INCREASE...AND OROGRAPHIC SNOW WILL
DEVELOP...BREAKING OUT FIRST ACROSS THE EASTERN SAN JUAN AND LA
GARITA MOUNTAINS. BOTH THE GFS AND NAM ARE GENEROUS WITH THE QPF AND
SNOW AMOUNTS ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST MOUNTAINS BEGINNING AFTER 03Z.

WITH THAT IN MIND...WE HAVE UPGRADED THE WINTER STORM WATCH TO A
WARNING ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST MOUNTAINS. IN ADDITION...WE HAVE ISSUED
A WINTER STORM WARNING FOR THE MOSQUITO RANGE AND HIGHER ELEVATIONS
OF THE EASTERN SAWATCH RANGE BEGINNING AT 09Z. SNOW AMOUNTS
OVERNIGHT COULD BE IN THE 5 TO 10 INCH RANGE ACROSS THE EASTERN SAN
JUAN MOUNTAINS WITH BLOWING SNOW...3 TO 5 INCHES ACROSS THE LA
GARITA MOUNTAINS...AND 1 TO 2 INCHES ACROSS THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF
THE EASTERN SAWATCH RANGE...WITH MORE TO COME.

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 345 AM MST SUN NOV 15 2015

MODELS BEGINNING TO COME INTO BETTER AGREEMENT ON EVOLUTION OF
INCOMING WINTER STORM...THOUGH STILL SOME DIFFERENCES IN QPF
FIELDS MON NIGHT INTO TUE AS PRECIP WRAPS AROUND THE DEEPENING
UPPER LOW. DURING THE DAY MON...PRECIPITATION WILL SPREAD EASTWARD
ACROSS THE STATE AS MID/UPPER LEVEL LOW CLOSES OFF NEAR THE 4
CORNERS BY LATE AFTERNOON. HEAVY SNOW WILL BE ONGOING OVER THE
SOUTHWEST MOUNTAINS IN THE MORNING...WITH HEAVIER SNOWS THEN
SPREADING NORTHWARD ALONG THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE INTO THE CENTRAL
MOUNTAINS BY MIDDAY. SNOW THEN SPREADS ACROSS THE SANGRES IN THE
AFTERNOON...WITH LOW ELEVATION RAIN/HIGH ELEVATION SNOW SHOWERS
BREAKING OUT ELSEWHERE AS DYNAMIC LIFT INCREASES ACROSS THE
REGION. WILL KEEP WINTER STORM WARNINGS GOING FOR THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS OF THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST MOUNTAINS THROUGH THE DAY
MON...WITH A WINTER STORM WATCH FOR THE SANGRES. LOWER ELEVATION
PORTIONS OF THE SAN JUANS/LA GARITA/SAWATCH MAY NEED AN ADVISORY
AS COLDER AIR LOWERS SNOW LEVELS BY LATE IN THE DAY...THOUGH WILL
LET DAY SHIFT TAKE ONE MORE LOOK AT THIS. APPEARS DEEPEST
MOISTURE/INSTABILITY WILL STAY JUST EAST OF THE AREA IN
KS/OK/TX...LIMITING THE THREAT OF STRONG TSRA OVER THE SERN
PLAINS MON AFTERNOON. MAX TEMPS MON SHOULD REMAIN MILD ONE MORE
DAY OVER THE EASTERN PLAINS...WITH A FEW 60S HOLDING ON ACROSS THE
LOWER ARKANSAS VALLEY.

UPPER LOW TRACKS EASTWARD ALONG THE CO/NM BORDER OVERNIGHT
MON...MOVING TO A POSITION NEAR THE KS/CO BORDER BY EARLY TUE
MORNING. COLD FRONT WILL DROP QUICKLY THROUGH THE REGION MON
EVENING WITH VERY STRONG NORTH WINDS DEVELOPING OVER THE PLAINS
AS 700 MB WINDS ARE PROGGED TO REACH THE 50-70 KT RANGE BY 12Z
TUE. PRECIP WILL CHANGE TO SNOW DURING THE EVENING ALL
AREAS...WITH HEAVY SNOW LIKELY ALONG THE PALMER DIVIDE AS MOISTURE
AND STRONG UPWARD MOTION WRAP AROUND THE DEEPENING LOW. MODEL
DIFFERENCES BEGIN TO SHOW UP LATE MON NIGHT INTO TUE WITH THE
PLACEMENT/INTENSITY OF SNOWFALL OVER THE EASTERN PLAINS...WITH
00Z/06Z NAM SHOWING THE HEAVIEST SNOW OVER THE PALMER DIVIDE AND
ACROSS THE PLAINS SOUTH OF THE ARKANSAS RIVER...WHILE 00Z ECMWF
HAS A SIMILAR PATTERN BUT MUCH LIGHTER AMOUNTS. 00Z/06Z GFS IS
SOMEWHAT IN BETWEEN...THOUGH ITS BAND OF HEAVIER SNOW IN
SOUTHEASTERN PUEBLO COUNTY LOOKS SUSPECT. OVERALL...BEST BET FOR
HEAVY SNOW/HIGH WINDS LOOKS TO BE OVER THE PALMER DIVIDE...WHILE
MUCH OF THE ARKANSAS VALLEY FROM CANON CITY EASTWARD THROUGH
PUEBLO WILL SEE THE LIGHTEST SNOWS DUE TO STRONG NORTHERLY
DOWNSLOPE FLOW. EASTERN PLAINS...ESPECIALLY SOUTHEASTERN CORNER
STILL A TOUGH FORECAST...AS LOW LEVEL TEMPS ARE MARGINAL FOR SNOW
AND DYNAMIC LIFT MAY STAY TOO FAR NORTH FOR HEAVY AMOUNTS. ALL
AREAS ALONG AND EAST OF THE MOUNTAINS WILL SEE VERY STRONG WINDS
(GUSTS 40-50 KTS) LATE MON NIGHT INTO TUE MORNING. STILL ENOUGH
TIME AND UNCERTAINTY TO PRECLUDE THE ISSUANCE OF A WINTER STORM
WATCH FOR THE I25 CORRIDOR AND EASTERN PLAINS...THOUGH SUSPECT
WE'LL NEED SOME COMBINATION OF WIND AND WINTER HIGHLIGHTS SOON AS
STORM COMES INTO FOCUS.

UPPER LOW PULLS AWAY DURING THE DAY TUE WITH WINDS AND PRECIP
WINDING DOWN BY EVENING. NORTHWEST FLOW THEN DEVELOPS
WED/THU...WITH A RETURN TO NEAR SEASONAL TEMPS AND JUST A FEW
-SHSN OVER THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS. MODIFIED ARCTIC AIR MASS THEN
SLIPS INTO ERN CO FRI...BRINGING COOLER TEMPS AND A CHANCE OF SOME
VERY LIGHT PRECIP TO THE AREA FOR THE END OF THE WEEK.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1016 AM MST SUN NOV 15 2015

VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR MUCH OF THE AREA OVER THE NEXT 24
HRS...INCLUDING THE THREE MAIN TAF SITES OF KCOS...KPUB AND KALS.
TONIGHT...CONDITIONS WILL START TO DETERIORATE ALONG THE CONTDVD
AS THE NEXT UPPER TROUGH NEARS...AND SNOW BEGINS TO FALL ON WEST
FACING SLOPES...ESPECIALLY THOSE OF THE SW MTS. OVERNIGHT...SOUTHWEST
WINDS WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE SAN LUIS VALLEY AND AT KALS.
INCREASING WINDS...CLOUD COVER AND SNOW POTENTIAL WILL COME TO THE
I25 CORRIDOR AFFECTING KCOS AND KPUB BEGINNING MONDAY EVENING. MOORE
