NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
324 PM MST WED JAN 6 2016

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 324 PM MST WED JAN 6 2016

...NEXT SYSTEM TO TRACK ACROSS AREA TONIGHT AND THURSDAY...

THE NEXT SYSTEM IN A SERIES IS ABOUT TO PASS FROM NORTHEAST ARIZONA
INTO NORTHERN NEW MEXICO.  IT WILL TRACK ACROSS NORTHERN NEW MEXICO
OVERNIGHT AND MOVE INTO SOUTHWEST KANSAS THURSDAY MORNING.  FROM
THERE...IT WILL CONTINUE NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS KANSAS DURING THE DAY.
THIS TRACK WILL BRING SNOW TO THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE AND HIGH
MOUNTAIN VALLEYS TONIGHT...WITH THE SAN JUAN MOUNTAINS RECEIVING THE
BRUNT OF THE SNOWFALL. WOLF CREEK SKI AREA REPORTED 2 INCHES OF NEW
SNOW IN THE PAST 24 HOURS ENDING AT 2:30 THIS AFTERNOON.  THIS AREA
AND THE REST OF THE SAN JUANS COULD SEE ANOTHER 4 TO 8 INCHES BEFORE
THE STORM WINDS DOWN THURSDAY AFTERNOON.  FOR AREAS FARTHER NORTH
ALONG THE DIVIDE...GENERALLY 3 TO 6 INCHES OF SNOW CAN BE EXPECTED.
FOR THE MOUNTAIN VALLEYS...SUCH AS THE SAN LUIS...UPPER ARKANSAS AND
WET MOUNTAIN VALLEYS...SNOW SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED OVERNIGHT BUT
ACCUMULATIONS SHOULD BE LIGHT IN MOST CASES...GENERALLY AN INCH OR
LESS.

FOR THE MOUNTAINS FARTHER EAST AND THE PLAINS...THE BULK OF THE
STORM WILL NOT HIT UNTIL LATE TONIGHT AND THURSDAY.  THE EASTERN
MOUNTAINS WILL SEE SNOW DEVELOP BY AROUND MIDNIGHT AND CONTINUE INTO
THURSDAY AFTERNOON.  FOR MOST EASTERN RANGES...GENERALLY 2 TO 6
INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE. HOWEVER...THE SUMMIT OF PIKES PEAK COULD DO
A LITTLE BETTER...MAYBE 6 TO 10 INCHES.  OVER THE PLAINS...SOME
AREAS OF LIGHT SNOW AND RAIN SHOULD START TO DEVELOP AFTER
MIDNIGHT...AND GRADUALLY BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD INTO THURSDAY.
ACCUMULATIONS DO NOT LOOK GREAT WITH THIS SYSTEM.  MOST OF THE
PLAINS HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR UP TO ABOUT 1 INCH OF SNOW.  EL PASO
COUNTY HAS THE POTENTIAL TO DO A LITTLE BETTER...BUT STILL ONLY
ABOUT 1 OR 2 INCHES IN MOST LOCATIONS.  SINCE THE STORM SYSTEM IS
NOT EXPECTED TO BE PARTICULARLY MOIST...WINDY OR COLD...WINTER
WEATHER HIGHLIGHTS DO NOT SEEM NECESSARY AT THIS TIME. COLLABORATION
WITH THE BOULDER FORECAST OFFICE INDICATED THE SAME FEELING.
HOWEVER...THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT SHIFTS WILL SEE HOW THINGS
EVOLVE OVERNIGHT AND CHANGE THINGS UP IF NECESSARY. IN ANY
EVENT...IT IS PROBABLY A GOOD IDEA TO GET UP A LITTLE EARLY AND SEE
HOW THINGS ARE UNFOLDING FOR YOURSELVES.  WITH SOME LIGHT SNOW
EXPECTED IN AREAS BY MORNING...THE MORNING COMMUTE COULD TAKE LONGER
THAN USUAL. WHILE AREAS OF LIGHT SNOW WILL PERSIST OVER PARTS OF THE
PLAINS THROUGH THE DAY THURSDAY...THINGS SHOULD BE WINDING DOWN OVER
WESTERN AREAS BY LATE IN THE DAY.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 324 PM MST WED JAN 6 2016

...COOL AND UNSETTLED INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...

THURSDAY NIGHT-FRIDAY NIGHT...COMPLEX FLOW PATTERN ACROSS THE REGION
WITH A COLD UPPER TROUGH IN THE NORTHERN STREAM MOVING ACROSS THE
NORTHERN TIER AND INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST THROUGH THE DAY FRIDAY...AS
ACTIVE SOUTHERN STREAM AND EASTERN PACIFIC ENERGY CONTINUES TO DIG
ACROSS THE WEST COAST AND GREAT BASIN AND INTO THE ROCKIES. LATEST
MODELS ARE COMING INTO AGREEMENT ON SOUTHERN STREAM ENERGY
DEVELOPING A CLOSED LOW ACROSS THE FOUR CORNERS REGION THURSDAY
NIGHT...WHICH TRANSLATES EAST ACROSS NORTHERN NEW MEXICO THROUGH THE
DAY FRIDAY AND CONTINUES INTO THE NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS FRIDAY NIGHT.
THIS...IN CONJUNCTION WITH A MODIFIED ARCTIC AIRMASS MOVING ACROSS
THE EASTERN PLAINS FROM PASSING NORTHERN STREAM ENERGY...LOOKS TO
BRING A WIDESPREAD SNOW EVENT TO AREA THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY.
BEST CHANCES OF MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW WILL BE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
MTS AND IMMEDIATE ADJACENT PLAINS...AND HAVE ISSUED A WINTER STORM
WATCH FROM 01Z FRI-00Z SAT FOR THE EASTERN SAN JUAN MTS AND FROM 07Z
FRI-06Z SAT FOR THE SANGRE DE CRISTO AND WET MTS...THE WET MT VALLEY
AND THE SOUTHERN I-25 CORRIDOR. MODELS NOT INDICATING A LOT OF WINDS
WITH THIS SYSTEM...THOUGH WITH MODEST SFC-H7 EAST TO NORTHEAST FLOW
OF 15-20KTS AND H7 TEMPS PLUNGING TO BETWEEN -10C AND -16C...CANT
RULE OUT A QUICK 6 TO 12 INCHES OR MORE...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN SANGRES. ELSEWHERE...SNOW LOOKS TO SPREAD FROM WEST TO EAST
ACROSS THE HIGH VALLEYS THU NIGHT AND ACROSS THE I-25 CORRIDOR
THROUGH THE FAR SE PLAINS THROUGH THE DAY FRIDAY WITH GENERALLY
LIGHT ACCUMS OF 1 TO 3 INCHES...WITH THE MOST ACCUMS THE FURTHER
SOUTH YOU ARE.

SATURDAY-SUNDAY...COLD NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT PROGGED TO CONTINUE
ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE WEEKEND...WITH THE GFS THE MOST
AGGRESSIVE WITH DIGGING ANOTHER PIECE OF ENERGY ACROSS THE GREAT
BASIN AND INTO THE SOUTHER ROCKIES THROUGH THE DAY SUNDAY. THE COOL
NORTHWEST FLOW KEEPS BEST CHANCES OF LIGHT SNOW ACROSS THE CONTDVD
AND ESPECIALLY THE CENTRAL MTS THROUGH THE PERIOD...WITH WELL BELOW
SEASONAL TEMPERATURES IN THE 20S TO AROUND 30 ACROSS THE LOWER
ELEVATIONS...AND SINGLE DIGITS TO TEENS ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN.

MONDAY-WEDNESDAY...COOL NORTHWEST PROGGED TO CONTINUE ACROSS THE
AREA THROUGH MIDWEEK...WITH ANOTHER POSSIBLE EMBEDDED WAVE MOVING
ACROSS THE STATE ON TUESDAY. TEMPERATURES PROGGED TO SLOWLY WARM
THROUGH THE PERIOD...THOUGH STILL LOOK TO BE BELOW SEASONAL NORMS.
