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 Feb 11, 11:06 AM MST, 3 hours 56 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 11, 11:06 AM MST, 3 hours 56 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pueblo CO 1106 AM MST Sun Feb 11 2018 .UPDATE... Issued at 521 AM MST Sun Feb 11 2018 After reviewing snow chances and amounts for the sw mts with this next upcoming system, felt that an advisory was needed for zone 68. Remainder of the Continental Divide, and rest of the higher terrain, will see some accumulating snow, but uncertain on whether those amounts will reach any sort of highlight criteria. Incorporated latest obs data, as well as adjusted total snow amounts and pop grid for 12z Mon. Moore && .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 426 AM MST Sun Feb 11 2018 Upper trough dropping south of the state this morning, and with radar and obs suggesting snow has ended across srn CO, will drop all pops and end the winter wx advisory with the latest forecast issuance. Skies will become mostly clear over the region today in the wake of the trough, though with plentiful snow cover in place and only modest winds, nudged max temps down a few degf many locations, as it will likely take until mid/late afternoon to push above freezing over most valleys/plains/I-25 corridor. Next upper trough then drops southward through the Great Basin late tonight, allowing mid level flow to gradually turn southwestward across the state by early Mon morning. Moisture and clouds will begin to increase across the area after midnight, with light snow breaking out along the Continental Divide toward sunrise as upward motion and favorable orographic flow push eastward into the area. Mins will be seasonably cold at most locations given residual snow cover, with perhaps some minor warming after midnight as clouds begin to thicken. .LONG TERM...(Monday through Saturday) Issued at 426 AM MST Sun Feb 11 2018 Monday and Tuesday...An upper trough of low pressure system will be situated over the Great Basin early Monday morning, with brisk sw flow over the Four Corners drawing moisture up into western CO. This trough is forecast to strengthen, with an upper closed low developing and shifting to the southwest across NV and Southern CA through Tuesday night. all of the Continental Divide is expected to receive accumulating snow over the course of 48 hours, though the southwest mts will receive the heaviest amounts with a total snowfall potential of 6 to 10 inches, and localized amounts up to 13 inches. The rest of the higher terrain may see amounts in the 3 to 7 inch range, while the plains will remain dry. Look for high temps in the 40s for most locations on Monday, then warmer on Tuesday as downslope flow increases with highs in the upper 40s to lower 50s for the high valleys, and 50s to around 60F for the plains. Wednesday...The upper low is expected to sit off the southern CA coast Wed, with just some isolated to possibly low-end scattered snow showers along the Continental Divide. The main concern for Wed will be the increasing w-sw flow across the forecast area, with aftn wind gusts of 30 to 35 mph. This will help bump temps up into the 50s for the high valleys, and upper 50s to near 70F for the plains. Thursday through Saturday...Extended models indicate that the upper low moving back onshore across the desert southwest late Wed night, while another disturbance aloft in the northern stream drops down across the Rockies. The two features merge, bringing pcpn chances back to the state for Thursday through Friday morning, then cool but dry northwest flow for Saturday. Expect max temps each day to range from the upper 40s to upper 50s for most areas. Moore && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon) Issued at 1048 AM MST Sun Feb 11 2018 Weak ridging over the flight area will result in generally VFR conditions through 06z. After 06z, an approaching disturbance crossing the Great Basin will begin to draw up moisture into western Colorado. This will result in the development of snow along the Continental Divide. The snow along the Divide will start out spotty at 06z but then steadily increase and become widespread by 15z. For the terminals...KCOS and KPUB will see an increase in mid and high level clouds after 06z but will likely remain VFR through the forecast period. KALS will also see an increase in mid and high clouds after about 06z. Forecast models show a very weak disturbance moving across the terminal vicinity beginning around 09z. There is an outside chance the disturbance could result in VCSH at the terminal for brief period early Monday morning, in the the 12-15z timeframe. && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
