Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Denver/Boulder CO
955 PM MDT Wed Oct 5 2016

.UPDATE...
Issued at 954 PM MDT Wed Oct 5 2016

Cloud top cooling and lift evident on satellite this evening as
QG vertical motion is increasing due to the jet sinking south.
00z models have both increased their expected precipitation
amounts across the northern half of the mountains and plains near
the state border. Have increased PoPs over the area as well as QPF
amounts and snow amounts over the mountains. Total snowfall
amounts may be 2 to 6 inches with the highest amounts over the
mountains of Rocky Mountain National Park, though there could be
locally higher amounts due to the potential of banding from the
jet influence. Models show the main band of snow dropping from the
northern mountains overnight to a location stretched over what
would be the I-70 corridor by 12z Thursday morning. This could
impact traffic over the Eisenhower tunnels. Do not feel at this
time we would need any sort of highlight. Some cooler temperatures
may be possible due to the increase in precipitation, with the NAM
showing wet bulb zero heights lowering over the northern state
border with Wyoming and Nebraska. Could see some flakes mixing in
with rain toward sunrise over northern Weld and Logan counties.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday)
Issued at 139 PM MDT Wed Oct 5 2016

Satellite imagery shows the front to the north of Wyoming that is
progged to move into the Northern plains by tomorrow afternoon.
Increasing moisture ahead of the trough will bring light snow
showers by this evening spreading in coverage overnight.
Temperatures overnight will be slightly warmer than last night
with lows in the mid to upper 30s but staying closer to lower 30s
over Larimer and Weld counties. Snow levels will drop down to
7,500 ft by the early morning hours on Thursday. Increasing
moisture combined with an upper level jet will help to bring a few
inches of snow to the higher elevations by the morning. Some
banding may occur that could drop slightly higher amounts in areas
where they set up. Elsewhere snow levels will not get low enough
on the plains to bring snow. A rain and snow mix will be possible
over the northern Foothills with rain on the plains. The far NE
corner of the plains has the highest chances of seeing
precipitation behind the front as well as cooler temperatures.
Clouds will remain through most of the day tomorrow keeping
temperatures in the lower to mid 50s.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 139 PM MDT Wed Oct 5 2016

There may be a few lingering showers Thursday evening prior to
high pressure building over the Rockies. Skies will clear out
Thursday night, allowing for good radiation cooling. This
combined with the cool and drying airmass will cause temperatures
to fall below freezing over many areas. Expected lows Friday
morning to be the coolest of the season.

An upper level ridge starts to build over the Great Basin and
Central Rockies Friday. This will begin the warming trend that
will continue into the weekend. Highs Friday will be slightly
below normal with readings in the lower to mid 60s over northeast
Colorado. As the ridge strengthens, temperatures will warm into
the 70s this weekend over eastern Colorado. The models show a
short wave trough lifting northeast across the Southern Rockies
Sunday. Most of the moisture with this system ends up east of the
area. Will maintain the low pops for the higher terrain, mainly
south of I-70 on Sunday.

Flow aloft becomes zonal by Tuesday. A wave embedded in the
westerly flow will move across the area sometime Tuesday and
Wednesday. Will keep the pops in the mountains for this system.
Expect the lower elevations to remain dry due to the zonal flow
and the weak nature of the trough. Temperatures are expected to
remain near to slightly above seasonal normals.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Thursday night)
Issued at 954 PM MDT Wed Oct 5 2016

Northeasterly winds are now expected for slightly longer tonight
before trending toward the northwest after 06z. This may result in
ceilings lowering slightly lower and faster than originally
thought. Dynamics of this weather system will make banding
possible, so will keep the TEMPO and PROB groups for showers in
the TAFs. Ceilings will drop to 070 by 09z with increasing
moisture, but may drop further to 040 under bands, likely between
10-14z. More northeasterly winds Thursday afternoon may lead to
more showers but with higher ceilings.

.BOU WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
None.
