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 Dec 25, 5:20 AM MST, 4 hours 51 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 25, 5:20 AM MST, 4 hours 51 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pueblo CO 520 AM MST Tue Dec 25 2018 .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 519 AM MST Tue Dec 25 2018 Upper low across central CA will continue dropping south southeastward today into southern AZ/CA and the northern Baja peninsula region by this afternoon. Southwest flow and increasing difluence will lead to increasing snow for the southwest mountains into the afternoon, particularly for the eastern San Juans where orographics will become more favorable. Could see rounds of snow showers for the mountains along the Continental Divide today as weak shortwaves eject out ahead of the incoming system. Overall, snowfall totals look light until later tonight. For the valleys, southeast mountains and plains, it will remain dry with one more relatively mild day with temperatures running around to slightly above climatological averages. Tonight...models are in better agreement in lifting the low northeastward towards the 4 corners region/NW AZ towards 12z. Should see round of WAA showers lift northeastward into the Continental Divide overnight which should ramp up snowfall for that area. Across the plains...deepening surface low across eastern NM will help pull low level winds more easterly. This should help pull a low stratus deck westward into the southeast plains and as far west as the I-25 corridor of El Paso and Pueblo counties towards morning. Deeper moisture in model soundings resides farther east and depending on temperatures tonight should see drizzle and freezing drizzle develop across the plains. Don't think there will be much accumulation with this...as axis of greater precipitation stays farther east associated with stronger WAA pattern aloft. It will be warmer farther east as well, with SPD likely warming into the lower to mid 30s early Wednesday morning as a result. Forecast will carry a drizzle and freezing drizzle mix for the eastern plains after midnight with fog and low stratus along the I-25 corridor after 09z. Otherwise...heavier precipitation for the southeast mountains and plains looks to hold off until later in the forecast period. See discussion below. -KT .LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday) Issued at 519 AM MST Tue Dec 25 2018 Active meteorological conditions are anticipated over the majority of southern Colorado from Wednesday into Friday night(as 2 systems impact the region during this time-frame). Then, improving meteorological conditions are projected from this weekend into Monday as drier flow develops. Recent forecast model soundings, PV analysis and longer term computer simulations indicate that a developing closed upper low system initially located near the 4-Corners region at 12Z Wednesday will shift into the far southeastern Colorado/southwestern Kansas region by 12Z Thursday, before shifting into north-central Nebraska by later Thursday. In addition, a strong and cold northerly surface surge is expected to move across eastern sections from later Wednesday into Wednesday night. Initially, primarily eastern locations during Wednesday morning should experience areas of low clouds, drizzle and freezing drizzle, while Continental Divide locations Wednesday should continue to receive accumulating snow. Then, increasing snow(heavy at times) and increasing winds are expected to develop over many southern and eastern locations from later Wednesday into early Thursday morning as 1st storm system impacts southern Colorado. WFO Pueblo will continue to monitor the track, strength and timing/trend of this system and issue winter highlights as needed. Meteorological focus then shifts to trailing storm number 2, which is projected to be entering far northwestern Arizona by Thursday evening before tracking south of the 4-Corners region by 18Z Friday before weakening and lifting across southern Colorado from later Friday into Friday night. Also, a 1035 MB surface high centered over north-central North Dakota at 18Z Friday is expected to keep cold air filtering into southern Colorado into at least Saturday. At this time, it appears that the highest potential for measurable precipitation(snow) with this system should be realized over southern Colorado from later Thursday into Friday night. Improving meteorological trends(including drier conditions as well as moderating temperatures) are then anticipated over southern Colorado from this weekend into early Monday as a drier airmass develops over the region. Overall, warmest temperatures during the longer term should be realized Wednesday and then again on Sunday, while coolest temperatures should be noted from Thursday into Saturday. Finally, the highest potential for stronger winds during the longer term should be experienced from Wednesday evening into Thursday morning, especially over eastern locations. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Wednesday morning) Issued at 519 AM MST Tue Dec 25 2018 VFR conditions expected today with variable mid/high cloudiness over the region. Winds will increase from the south around 10 kts in the afternoon for KCOS, KPUB and KALS. The mountains along the Continental Divide will see periods of IFR conditions in -SHSN and mtn top obscurations, particularly this afternoon as the storm system approaches. Should see increasing snow tonight along the Continental Divide with more widespread IFR to LIFR conditions in SN. TAF sites will see lowering VFR cigs until around 07z-08z for KCOS and KPUB when IFR cigs and patchy fog will spread westward into the I-25 corridor. There could be some patchy -FZDZ early Wednesday morning but for now moisture depth doesn't look great enough to warrant inclusion in the TAFs. Better chances for -FZDZ will be around KLHX eastward to the KS border. -KT && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

Snow will spread eastward into the valleys and plains through the day Wednesday. The storm track beyond Tuesday night is still highly uncertain and prone to change. However, latest guidance this Christmas eve evening indicated the potential for accumulating snowfall, some potentially heavy, on the plains generally east and south of Pueblo. Temperatures will likely be cold enough for snow across southeast Colorado, especially Wednesday night through Thursday. If you have travel plans across southern Colorado during or after the Christmas holiday, please monitor the latest forecasts and prepare now for the possibility of winter driving conditions, even across the lower elevations. Periods of light snow will be possible in and near the mountains Friday and Saturday as another storm system moves in from the northwest. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday Increasing chances of accumulating snow(heavy at times) as well as increasing winds are expected to develop over many southern and eastern locations from later Wednesday into early Thursday morning. Then, next storm system is expected to produce another round of accumulating snow in combination with well below seasonal temperatures over the majority of southern Colorado from later Thursday into Friday night. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will be possible today and tonight across the southwest and central mountains.
