AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND JUNCTION CO
447 PM MDT MON APR 4 2016

.SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 223 PM MDT MON APR 4 2016

A WEAK FRONT WILL PUSH ACROSS THE NORTH THIS EVENING BUT THE
STRONGER FRONT WORKS THROUGH NE UTAH AND FAR NW CO AFTER MIDNIGHT
AND INTO TUESDAY. MOISTURE IS LIMITED AND SNOW LEVELS ONLY DROP
TO AROUND 8KFT BY MORNING. OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES WILL BE MILD
WITH CLOUDS AND GUSTY HIGH COUNTRY WINDS.

THE SECOND AND STRONGER COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE INTO THE CENTRAL
PORTION OF THE AREA...AND WILL STALL DURING THE AFTERNOON BEFORE
WEAKENING. MODELS ARE NOT IN FULL AGREEMENT AS TO HOW FAR SOUTH
THE FRONT WILL REACH BEFORE THIS HAPPENS...BUT IT APPEARS THAT
GOOD ENERGY WILL DROP INTO THE VAIL PASS AREA AT LEAST. GUSTY
WINDS WILL MIX INTO THE VALLEYS BY MIDDAY. SHOWERS WILL SPREAD
FROM NORTH TO SOUTH...BUT WILL MOSTLY REMAIN OVER THE MOUNTAINS.
INSTABILITY WILL INCREASE BY THE AFTERNOON WITH A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE. THE BEST PRECIPITATION WILL REMAIN OVER
THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS...WHERE 2 TO 6 INCHES ARE EXPECTED BY EARLY
EVENING. THE VAIL PASS AREA SHOULD SEE JUST A LITTLE LESS...BUT
THE CONVECTIVE NATURE OF THESE SPRING STORMS COULD RESULT IF BRIEF
HEAVY SNOW. SEE THE FIRE WEATHER SECTION BELOW FOR A DISCUSSION
ABOUT SOUTHWEST COLORADO WHERE CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS
ARE FORECAST.

CONDITIONS WILL QUICKLY IMPROVE DURING THE EVENING AS THIS FAST
MOVING SYSTEM EXITS THE AREA. CLEARING SKIES AND COOLER TEMPS
ALOFT WILL ALLOW NIGHTTIME LOWS TO FALL TO BELOW NORMAL VALUES.

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 223 PM MDT MON APR 4 2016

AFTER A COOL MORNING...A WARMING TREND WILL BEGIN ON WEDNESDAY AS
HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS FROM THE WEST COAST TO OVER THE GREAT BASIN.
DRIER CONDITIONS ARE ALSO EXPECTED AS HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATES THE
REGION. LOOK FOR HIGHS INTO THE 70S IN THE WESTERN VALLEYS BY
THU.

A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT IS PROGGED TO APPROACH THE SOUTHERN
WEST COAST LATER THIS WEEK WILL BEGIN TO SPREAD MOISTURE INTO THE
REGION FROM THE SOUTHWEST BEGINNING FRI AFTERNOON. AS THIS SYSTEM
MOVES ONSHORE AND INTO THE DESERT SOUTHWEST A WET WEEKEND WILL BE
EXPECTED FOR EASTERN UT AND WESTERN CO. DUE TO THE SOUTHERN NATURE
OF THIS DISTURBANCE...CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN ON THE WARM SIDE WITH
SNOW LEVELS REMAINING QUITE HIGH. WET AND UNSETTLED CONDITIONS
WILL BE POSSIBLE INTO THE EARLY WORK WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 447 PM MDT MON APR 4 2016

A PASSING SYSTEM WILL BRING LOWERING CEILINGS AND EXPANDING
PRECIPITATION TO NORTHERN UTAH AND WESTERN COLORADO LATE THIS
EVENING INTO TUESDAY. THE LOWERING CIGS WILL CREATE TERRAIN
OBSCURATION CONDITIONS OVER THE MUCH OF THE TERRAIN IN NORTHERN
COLORADO AND UTAH BUT ATTM DOES NOT LOOK LOWER CIGS TO BELOW VFR
UNTIL AFTER SUNRISE TUESDAY AT AREA FORECAST TERMINALS. ILS
BREAKPIONTS HOWEVER MAY BE FLIRTED WITH DURING THE PREDAWN AREAS
AT KASE...KRIL AND KEGE. AFTER 15Z PROBABILITIES WILL BE
INCREASES FOR CIGS AND SHOWERS TO IMPACT FLIGHT OPERATIONS AT THE
SAME AIRPORTS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
ISSUED AT 223 PM MDT MON APR 4 2016

STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE AREA AS A COLD
FRONT DROPS INTO EASTERN UTAH AND WESTERN COLORADO ON TUESDAY.
THIS FRONT IS EXPECTED TO STALL ACROSS THE CENTRAL PORTION OF THE
AREA THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...AS IT WEAKENS. AS A RESULT MOST OF
THE PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FRONT AND ITS ASSOCIATED
UPPER SYSTEM WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL
PORTION...ESPECIALLY IN THE MOUNTAINS. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL
BE POSSIBLE DURING THE AFTERNOON. SOUTHEAST UTAH AND FAR
SOUTHWEST COLORADO WILL REMAIN DRY. THE GUSTY WINDS AND CRITICALLY
DRY FUELS IN FIRE ZONE 207 WILL COMBINE TO PRODUCE RED FLAG
CONDITIONS BELOW 6500 FEET...WHERE RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL
DROP TO 15 PERCENT OR LOWER. AFTER THIS SYSTEM PASSES A WARMING
TREND WILL DEVELOP AS HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATES. THE NEXT STORM
SYSTEM WILL APPROACH BEGINNING LATE FRIDAY AND IMPACT THE AREA
THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH AN INCREASED CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION.
