&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 335 PM MDT TUE APR 14 2015

CURRENTLY...GENERALLY QUIET BUT BREEZY CONDITIONS HAVE SPREAD ACROSS
SOUTHERN COLORADO THIS AFTERNOON.  TEMPERATURES ARE WARM WITH LOWER
TO MID 70S ACROSS THE PLAINS.  SATELLITE INDICATES CUMULUS
DEVELOPMENT OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND RADAR IS STARTING TO INDICATE
SOME SHOWER DEVELOPMENT OVER THE SOUTHERN SANGRE DE CRISTO RANGE.
THE STRONG WINDS AND LOW HUMIDITIES ACROSS THE REGION HAVE COMBINED
TO PRODUCE DANGEROUS FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON.

TONIGHT...AND UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM IS TAKING SHAPE OVER THE
NORTHERN ROCKIES WITH INCREASING SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW SPREADING ACROSS
COLORADO OVERNIGHT.  EXPECT MOUNTAINS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS
EVENING...WITH SPARSE RAIN...OCCASIONAL LIGHTNING AND WIND GUSTS.
EXPECT MOST THUNDERSTORMS TO DISSIPATE AROUND SUN DOWN...WITH A FEW
SHOWERS PERSISTING THROUGH MIDNIGHT.  BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL
CONTINUE ACROSS THE PLAINS OVERNIGHT.  EXPECT MILD OVERNIGHT LOWS
WITH UPPER 30S TO MID 40S OVER THE LOWER ELEVATIONS.

WEDNESDAY...SEVERAL CONCERNS THROUGHOUT THE DAY INCLUDING DANGEROUS
FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS...SEVERE WEATHER OVER THE FAR EASTERN PLAINS
AND INCREASING MOUNTAIN SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY.  THE UPPER
LEVEL LOW OVER THE NORTHERN ROCKIES IS FORECAST TO DROP SOUTH INTO
UTAH THROUGHOUT THE DAY.  THIS WILL SPREAD STRONG SOUTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT ACROSS THE STATE.

FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS...THIS STRONG SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL PROMOTE
MIXING OF DRY AIR ALOFT AND STRONG WINDS TO THE SURFACE.  WIDESPREAD
SOUTHWEST WINDS GUSTING TO NEAR 30 MPH ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE
STATE.  HUMIDITY VALUES WILL BE LOW WITH MOST AREAS SEEING VALUES
LESS THAN 10 PERCENT.  LOCATIONS OVER THE SAN LUIS VALLEY...THE I-25
CORRIDOR AND OUT INTO THE PLAINS WILL SEE THE MOST DANGEROUS
CONDITIONS BEGINNING LATE WEDNESDAY MORNING AND LASTING INTO THE
EARLY EVENING.  CONDITIONS OVER NORTHERN EL PASO COUNTY WILL BE
DEPENDENT UPON A COLD FRONT...IF IT STALLS TO THE NORTH AND
SOUTHWEST WINDS CAN BECOME ESTABLISHED...DANGEROUS FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL LONGER THAN ANTICIPATED.  THE SAME CAN ALSO
BE SAID FOR KIOWA AND PROWERS COUNTY.  MODELS DEVELOP A SURFACE LOW
NEAR LIMON WITH A DRYLINE STRETCHING SOUTH ACROSS KIOWA INTO PROWERS
COUNTY.  FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS OVER THIS AREA WILL DEPEND ON HOW
QUICKLY THE DRYLINE MOVES EAST INTO KANSAS AND ANY THUNDERSTORMS
THAT DEVELOP.  PEOPLE OVER NORTHERN EL PASO...KIOWA AND PROWERS
COUNTY SHOULD MONITOR FOR FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS.

SEVERE WEATHER THREAT...THE OTHER CONCERN WILL BE THE CHANCE FOR
SEVERE WEATHER OVER PORTIONS OF THE PLAINS.  AS MENTIONED...A
SURFACE LOW IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP NEAR LIMON WITH A DRYLINE
STRETCHING SOUTHEAST ACROSS KIOWA AND PROWERS COUNTIES.  THE NAM IS
MOST AGGRESSIVE WITH CONVECTION ALONG THE DRYLINE...WITH THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT BY 21Z.  GIVEN THE SHEAR...STORMS WILL ROTATE.  THE MAIN
LACKING FEATURE WILL BE MOISTURE.  DEWPOINT PROGS ARE ONLY IN THE
30S TO 40S...AND THIS WOULD LEAD TO ELEVATED ACTIVITY WITH A HAIL
AND WIND THREAT.  HAIL IN EXCESS OF 1 INCH IN DIAMETER AND WIND
GUSTS GREATER THAN 60 MPH ARE POSSIBLE.  EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS TO
PUSH EAST INTO KANSAS THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON TO EVENING HOURS.

THERE IS ALSO A SMALL THREAT FOR STRONG STORMS OVER NORTHERN EL PASO
COUNTY INTO THE PALMER DIVIDE ALONG THE INCOMING COLD FRONT.  THIS
WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED...AS CURRENT SOUNDINGS APPEAR TO BE TOO
STABLE AT THIS TIME TO REALLY PROMOTE MUCH OF A STRONG THUNDERSTORM
CHANCE...BUT THOUGHT IT WAS WORTH MENTIONING.

THE MOUNTAINS...EXPECT SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY TO INCREASE
IN COVERAGE THROUGHOUT THE DAY.  SNOW LEVELS WILL BE HIGH WITH AN
INCH OR TWO POSSIBLE ON AREA PEAKS OF THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON. MOZLEY

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 335 PM MDT TUE APR 14 2015

.THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...STRONG CUTOFF LOW STILL EXPECTED OVER
THE CENTRAL ROCKIES. WPC CONTINUES TO DISCOUNT THE GFS WHICH HAS
AN ELONGATED TROUGH PASSING OVER COLORADO...WITH ONE UPPER LOW OVER
WYOMING AND ANOTHER OVER NORTHERN NEW MEXICO. FORECASTS ARE BASED
ON THE EC...CANADIAN AND NAM WHICH HAVE A CUTOFF LOW DIVING
SOUTHWARD OVER EASTERN UTAH...THEN STALLING NEAR THE FOUR CORNERS.
BY LATE FRIDAY THE UPPER LOW STARTS DRIFTING EASTWARD ACROSS
NORTHERN NEW MEXICO AND WEAKENING. THE MODELS HAVE TENDED TO SHIFT
THE HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION TO BE OVER NORTHERN COLORADO. THERE
APPEARS TO BE TWO PERIODS OF HEAVIER PRECIPITATION OVER SOUTHERN
COLORADO. ONE PERIOD IS THURSDAY EVENING AND THE OTHER IS FRIDAY
EVENING...BOTH RESULTING FROM DISTURBANCES ROTATING AROUND THE
UPPER LOW. GRIDS HAVE GENERALLY HALF TO ONE INCH OF QPF THROUGH
FRIDAY AFTERNOON OVER THE PLAINS AND EASTERN MOUNTAINS...WITH A
FEW TENTHS MORE FRIDAY EVENING. WITH THE WARMER SOLUTION...EXPECT
LEVEL OF SIGNIFICANT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS TO STAY ABOVE 8000 FEET
AND GRIDS HAVE A FOOT OF SNOW OVER THE HIGHER PEAKS OF THE EASTERN
MOUNTAINS. GIVEN THE HEAVIEST SNOWFALL IS NOT EXPECTED UNTIL
THURSDAY EVENING AND THE UNCERTAINTY WITH THE SYSTEM...DECIDED
NOT TO ISSUE A WATCH AT THIS TIME. IF CURRENT TRENDS
CONTINUE...WINTER WEATHER HIGHLIGHTS WILL BE NEEDED FOR PORTIONS
OF THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS.

FORECAST IS COMPLICATED AND CONFIDENCE IN THE SPECIFICS ARE STILL
NOT VERY HIGH. SLIGHT CHANGE IN THE LOCATION AND EVOLUTION OF THE
SYSTEM CAN CHANGE PRECIPITATION AND SNOWFALL TOTALS. LATEST
EXAMPLE OF THIS IS THE 18Z NAM WHICH SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASED THE
THURSDAY EVENING PRECIPITATION...BUT INCREASED THE FRIDAY EVENING
PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS TO AROUND 2 INCHES. GFS HAS CONSISTENTLY HAD
THE MORE ELONGATED SOLUTION..AND WOULD HAVE HOPED THE GFS WOULD
HAVE TRANSITIONED TO THE STRONGER AND SINGLE CUTOFF SOLUTION BY
NOW. BOTTOM LINE IS THERE IS A REASONABLY GOOD CHANCE FOR A ONE
HALF TO 1 INCH OR SO PRECIPITATION EVENT...WITH SIGNIFICANT SNOW
LEVELS STAYING ABOVE 8000 FEET OR HIGHER. HOWEVER...THERE STILL IS
SOME UNCERTAINTY WHICH COULD DECREASE TOTALS OR SIGNIFICANTLY
INCREASE AMOUNTS.

.SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...BY SUNDAY...UPPER LOW SHOULD BE EAST OF
THE REGION WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS. PATTERN
CHANGE BEGINS WITH A LONG WAVE TROUGH DEVELOPING OVER THE EAST
AND DISTURBANCES MOVING IN FROM THE WEST COAST. THIS PATTERN LOOKS
PROMISING FOR MORE PRECIPITATION BY HAVING LOW LEVEL UPSLOPE OVER
THE PLAINS AND EASTERN MOUNTAINS...ALONG WITH MOISTURE MOVING IN
FROM THE PACIFIC. CURRENTLY...ANY SIGNIFICANT DISTURBANCES FROM
THE PACIFIC ARE EXPECTED AFTER TUESDAY. GRIDS HAVE GENERALLY MILD
WEATHER AND LOW POPS FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY. --PGW--

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z WEDNESDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1041 PM MDT TUE APR 14 2015

MAIN AVN CONCERN OVR THE NEXT 24-30 HOURS WILL BE STRONG LLVL
WINDS. WILL SEE WINDS FROM THE SW WED AFTN IN THE 20-30 KT RANGE
WITH GUSTS AS HIGH AS 45 KTS...PARTICULARLY AT KALS BUT TO A
LESSER EXTENT AT KCOS. WINDS WILL THEN SHIFT TO THE N AS A STRONG
COLD FRONT DROPS SOUTH ACROSS THE ERN CO PLAINS IN THE 03-05Z TIME
RANGE. NORTH WINDS WILL ALSO GUST IN THE 20-30 KT RANGE...
POSSIBLY HIGHER WITH THE INITIAL FRONTAL PASSAGE. IT SHOULD BE
MOSTLY DRY AT THE TERMINALS TOMORROW. THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT
CHANCE OF SOME STRONG TS NR THE KS BORDER IN THE LATE AFTERNOON
AND EARLY EVE...AND THESE STORMS COULD PRODUCE LARGE HAIL IN
ADDITION TO STRONG WINDS. ROSE
