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 Pueblo, CO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this winter storm warning went out at May 17, 3:09 PM MDT, 20 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 17, 3:09 PM MDT, 20 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pueblo CO 309 PM MDT Wed May 17 2017 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday) Issued at 309 PM MDT Wed May 17 2017 The next storm system to affect the area is currently centered over northwest UT. This system is expected to become centered over the CO and UT border area by midmorning Thu, and then is forecast to move slowly eastward thru western CO during the day. As of 2 PM web cams are showing lowers clouds and pcpn over the mtns areas above Wolf Creek and Monarch passes. This evening the pcpn chances will increase over the Continental Divide and with temps cooling, snow levels will lower and snow will continue through the night with a few inches of accumulation expected. Pcpn is also expected to spread to portions of the eastern mtns later tonight, mainly over the Pikes Peak and Teller county areas, Waugh Mtn area and the northern Sangre de Cristos. Portions of the San Luis Valley will also probably see some scattered pcpn. Snow amounts over the Pikes Peak and Teller county area are a little uncertain, but Pikes Peak could see around 5 inches overnight, while in Teller county snow amounts of a trace to around 2 inches on grassy and elevated surfaces. Late tonight low level mstr will back into the southeast plains as relatively strong low level upslope develops in areas mainly north of highway 50. The low level mstr wl lead to low stratus and possibly some areas of fog and maybe some light drizzle/rain, especially in western portions of El Paso county. On Thu the GFS and ECMWF are a little farther south with the low than the NAM, and as a result the heavier pcpn is a bit farther south than the NAM. However, the central CO mtns, the Pikes Peak, Teller county and El Paso county areas are expected to see the most pcpn, with southern areas of the plains and the southern Sangres, probably not seeing a whole lot. The low clouds over mostly northern portions of the plains, are expected to hang around into the afternoon hours which will keep temps on the cool side. If the GFS is correct with its higher pcpn amounts in the morning hours, there could be several inches of snow on Pikes Peak and higher elevations of Teller county. Several inches of snow are expected over the Then in the afternoon as temps warm a little, there should be little if any snow in most of Teller county, but Pikes Peak should see additional accumulations. For the San Luis Valley and southwest mtns, the NAM shows only isold to maybe scattered pcpn in the morning and afternoon hours. On the other hand, the GFS shows better chances for pcpn thru the day in the San Luis Valley and southwest mtns. We already have a Winter Weather Advisory in effect for mostly above 10000 feet along the Continental Divide beginning at 6 PM this evening and going through 00Z Sat, and this still looks reasonable, although the latest model runs are indicating that the southwest mountains may not need to be in the advisory for quite that long. With this being a late season snow event for Teller county, have decided to issue a Winter Weather Advisory that area beginning at midnight tonight and continuing through 6 PM Sat. There is expected to be a lull in the snow from late Thu morning through Thu afternoon in Teller county with pcpn changing over to rain at the lower elevations of the county, but then temps cool quickly in the evening and it all changes over to snow again. Have also decided to issue a Winter Storm Warning for Pikes Peak from midnight tonight through 6 PM Sat as one to two feet of snow is expected. .LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Wednesday) Issued at 309 PM MDT Wed May 17 2017 Thursday night through Saturday...Models agree on placing the upper low over the UT/CO border Thu night, then tracking the system directly over the state through the day Fri with more of an emphasis over the northern portions of the state. On Sat the system weakens slightly as it ejects to the north-northeast across NE and the Dakotas. This latest solution places the system a bit further to the north, which will affect pcpn type, location and intensity. Ongoing winter weather highlights look good through the day Friday, with the focus remaining over the Central mts and the Pikes Peak region. The southwest mts, though including in the ongoing advisory, look like they may wind down early with this latest solution, but will maintain the highlight. Also, there is a shot for some snow over the Palmer Divide specifically affecting Monument Hill and I-25 for the Friday morning commute, so plan accordingly. with the system passing directly overhead, amounts and timing are both difficult to predict. It is expected to be very unstable, and there will be the chance for strong storms across the far eastern plains Thu night. As for temps, look for max temps in the 50s and 60s for most areas both days, though highs over northern El Paso County as well as the highlight areas may only climb into the 20s to lower 30s. Sunday through Wednesday...As the system exits the region, long range models want to keep Colorado under active northwest flow, with multiple shortwaves crossing the region. There will be a nearly constant threat of at least isolated convection over the higher terrain and adjacent plains each day. Temps will climb into the 60s to lower 70s each day. Moore && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Thursday evening) Issued at 309 PM MDT Wed May 17 2017 VFR conditions are expected at KCOS, KPUB and KALS this evening. After midnight, KCOS and KPUB will see low stratus move into the area along with the potential for some rain and fog which is expected to continue into the afternoon. KALS is expected to have VFR conditions the next 24 hrs, but may see some showers in the vicinity, especially later tonight through Thu. && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

Tonight, snow will become widespread along the Continental Divide and rain and snow showers will spread to the eastern mountain ranges, particularly the Pikes Peak Region mainly after midnight. New snow accumulations by Thursday morning are expected to range from 3 to 6 inches along the Continental Divide and 1 to 4 inches over the mountains of the Pikes Peak Region. The remaining mountain areas could see local accumulations up to an inch. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday Daily rounds of isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms, as well as higher terrain snow at times can be expected from Thursday into Tuesday. At this time, the primary storm threats include locally heavy rainfall, lightning, wind gusts around 50 mph at times and hail generally under one inch in diameter. However, portions of the far southeast Colorado plains, Thursday afternoon and evening, could see one or two severe storms, with wind gusts in excess of 60 mph and hail the size of quarters to golf balls. It appears that the highest potential for accumulating snow over the higher terrain, should be noted from Thursday into Friday night. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will be likely tonight in the mountains. 28/28
