What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this winter storm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Grand Junction, CO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this winter storm warning went out at Sep 30, 11:56 AM MDT, 3 hours 43 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Sep 30, 11:56 AM MDT, 3 hours 43 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service GRAND JUNCTION CO 1156 AM MDT Sat Sep 30 2017 .SHORT TERM...(Today through Sunday) Issued at 426 AM MDT Sat Sep 30 2017 A -25C core @ 500mb closed low will drop into the Pacific NW over the next 36 hours, with excellent dynamics and a strong upper level jet accompanying it. An active weather day expected today as a couple of weather features track west to east through the region. A well-defined shortwave disturbance on satellite this morning will reach eastern Utah late this morning and western Colorado by noon with strong upper level jet support on its heels. Showers and thunderstorms along this shortwave may pack some punch, with the strongest storms expected over the southwestern Colorado valleys this afternoon with forecast CAPE values over 1000J/kg and 40+kts of bulk shear to support organized storms. Considering this energy and moisture availability, very heavy rain will be possible with stronger storms. Decided against a flash flood watch, anticipating the threat will be isolated. Initial storm motion is expected to be southwest to northeast...then becoming west to east with an additional line of thunderstorms developing mainly from the Uncompahgre Plateau and north this evening. Forecast models are hinting that these thunderstorms will continue overnight into Sunday as they trek eastward across Colorado. The cold core closed low will drop further south as a 100+ kt upper level polar jet reaches eastern UT and western CO Sunday morning. Showers and thunderstorms may continue across NE Utah and NW Colorado Sunday morning, but will further develop Sunday afternoon as the cold front associated with this system stalls somewhere near the I-70 corridor. The trickiest part of this forecast is figuring out where exactly the front will stall on Sunday and into Monday. .LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Friday) Issued at 426 AM MDT Sat Sep 30 2017 Cooler air really begins to drop into Utah and Colorado on Sunday night with 700 mb temps reaching somewhere between -3 and -5C by early Monday morning. Anticipating measurable snow above about 8,000 ft in the Flattops, Elkhead, Park, Gore Ranges and even into the Roan Cliffs Sunday night into Monday morning. Initial estimates predicted are in the 4-8" range above 9,000 ft in these areas, with quickly lowering amounts below 9,000 ft down to 8000 ft. The high country (above 10,000ft) could see significant amounts of snow wherever the front stalls, but want to see continued indication that cold enough air will get to region for significant snow before issuing any headlines. Rain and snow are progged to remain along or north of I-70. For the synoptic pattern, global models are in good agreement through Monday afternoon, but consistency in the location and depth of the trough diverge beyond Tuesday. The GFS cuts off an area of low pressure over the northern Great Basin, with stronger southwesterly flow over the western slope on Tuesday. The ECMWF does not cut off the upper level low until Wednesday, keeping the western slope drier. Both solutions indicate southwesterly flow of some extent over the Four Corners, with the jet slowly lifting north by Friday. This northward shift of the jet should allow some milder weather to work back into the region, with temperatures trending upward to near seasonal averages by Wednesday through Friday. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday afternoon) Issued at 1156 AM MDT Sat Sep 30 2017 An upper level disturbance will bring numerous thunderstorms to west-central and northwest Colorado this afternoon and evening. This activity will result in brief MVFR visibility in heavy rain to TAF sites along the I-70 corridor and CIGS below ILS breakpoints at KRIL, KEGE and KASE. Showers will be more scattered over the south, but could bring additional rain to KTEX, KDRO and KGUC with conditions similar to those described previously. Guidance suggests showers will hold off over KVEL until this evening, but this activity is unlikely to cause flight conditions to fall below VFR levels there. Showers will decrease this evening and overnight and chances for additional showers at TAF sites are low. && .GJT WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CO...None.
