Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Grand Junction CO
1004 AM MST Wed Nov 16 2016

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Thursday)
Issued at 425 AM MST Wed Nov 16 2016

The big story for today will be wind and warmth as the pressure
gradient tightens ahead an approaching Pacific storm and its
associated cold front. The southwest to northeast oriented front
will move to the vicinity of Salt Lake City late in the day.
Southwest winds ahead of the front will increase to near 15 MPH
sustained with gusts to 25 MPH in the lower elevations, and from
20 to 25 MPH with gusts as high as 40 MPH in the mountains and
portions of northwest Colorado this afternoon. Concurrently, warm
air carried by the strong southwest flow threatens to bring record
warmth to the area today. Meanwhile, clouds will be increasing
over the region ahead of the deep and cold Pacific trough system.
The ECMWF and GFS indicated the potential for some light showers
over the San Juan and portions of the Sawatch and West Elk
Mountains late in the day. Not sold on moisture depth being
sufficient, but can't rule out some light sprinkles/flurries over
the peaks.

Expect scattered showers to develop over the eastern Uinta
Mountains this evening as the cold front approaches. Meanwhile,
deepening moisture ahead of the front brings better chances for
the southern and central mountains ahead of midnight. Later
tonight, expect precipitation to become widespread over the
eastern Uinta Mountains as the cold front moves east of the Green
River. The arrival of cold air over extreme northeast Utah will
drive the snow level to the base of the Uinta's with snow
developing over Manila and Dutch John by sunrise Thursday.
Elsewhere, overnight lows will be relatively mild due to cloud
cover and moderate wind in the warm sector of the storm.

Stark changes in the weather are expected across the forecast area
Thursday as models remained consistent in blasting the cold front
across western Colorado by midday. Surface convergence along the
front combined with strong dynamic forcing will bring widespread
precipitation to all but the southernmost portion of the forecast
area Thursday morning. Cold air streaming in behind the front (7H
temperatures ranging from -8 to -12 deg C) will bring snow levels
to mountain bases by noon and to valley floors later in the day.
While dynamic forcing wanes during the afternoon, orographic
forcing and instability will bring continued snowfall to the
mountains and Colorado's northwest plateau. Brace for afternoon
highs around 20 degrees F colder than those expected today with
blustery northwest winds making it feel even colder.

Upgraded the Winter Storm Watch to a Winter Weather Advisory for
snow and blowing snow over the eastern Uinta Mountains beginning
at midnight and continuing through Thursday afternoon. Modest
accumulating snow near certain for this area with strong and gusty
southwest winds giving way to favorable northwest flow on the
flanks of the passing Pacific trough. While accumulating snow all
but assured over the northern and central Colorado mountains,
timing and amounts less certain. This is especially true for the
lower elevations and southern mountains. Therefore, opted to
continue the Winter Storm Watch for much of the remainder of the
forecast area Thursday.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 425 AM MST Wed Nov 16 2016

Thursday night into Friday remnant moisture from the storm should
move east of the area bringing an end to snowfall.

Very cold temperatures are expected Thursday and Friday night,
with low temperatures down in the teens is the lower valleys. The
ridge will build back over the area Friday through the Weekend,
with dry and warming conditions. The next Pacific storm is
expected to affect the area Monday and Tuesday.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday afternoon)
Issued at 1000 AM MST Wed Nov 16 2016

An approaching Pacific storm will bring increased clouds and winds
to eastern Utah and western Colorado this afternoon and tonight.
Wind speeds will increase to 10 to 15 Kts with gusts to 25 Kts
will continue at KASE and KTEX and will start at the other TAF
sites by about 21Z. KEGE should be the outlier with sustained
winds near 20 Kts and gusts to 30 Kts at times. Despite more
cloud cover all TAF sites are expected to maintain CIGS above ILS
breakpoints over the next 24 hours.

Scattered showers will develop over the eastern Uinta Mountains
and the central and southwest Colorado mountains this evening with
coverage increasing after 06Z/Thursday. Expect showers in the
vicinity of KVEL after 06Z, with light sprinkles over the airport
possible. Even at KVEL, this activity is not expected to reduce
flight categories below VFR. Precipitation will begin at all the
other TAF sites before 18Z/Thursday.
