What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this high wind watch 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 high wind watch went out at Nov 28, 11:05 AM MST, 3 hours 31 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Nov 28, 11:05 AM MST, 3 hours 31 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pueblo CO 1105 AM MST Thu Nov 28 2019 .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 343 AM MST Thu Nov 28 2019 Currently...A larger scale circulation is located just on the coast of northern California as can be seen in satellite imagery, which is bringing moist southwest flow to Colorado. Moderate snow continues over the southwest mountains with areas of light snow being reported over the San Luis Valley and far eastern plains. Thanksgiving...The upper-level trough of low pressure is expected to meander east across northern California through today into tonight, providing continued moist southwest flow to the region. This flow promotes orographic enhancement over the eastern San Juans, which should see snow continuously today and tonight. However, a disturbance within the larger scale flow is anticipated to eject northward this morning, which will likely lead to a period of lighter snow rates. Another disturbance is expected to move into the region this afternoon and tonight, creating another round of more moderate to heavy snow for the eastern San Juans with snow increasing over the La Garitas and Sangre de Cristos as well. Have issued a Winter Storm Warning for the highest elevations of the Sangre de Cristos surrounded by a Winter Weather Advisory beginning at 5 pm MST tonight. The light snow over the San Luis Valley this morning should diminish by midday before the next disturbance brings another shot at some snow showers tonight. Elsewhere, the plains and I-25 corridor are not expected to see much precipitation today into tonight once the current precipitation near the New Mexico and Kansas borders exits the region this morning. Winds over the far eastern plains are expected to be quite breezy, especially during the afternoon hours. There is a slight chance of light rain over the plains, possibly mixed with snow showers near the I-25 corridor, late tonight, however. Highs today should reach the 40s for most areas while lows tonight are expect to be in the 20s for the high valleys and near 30 for the plains. .LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday) Issued at 343 AM MST Thu Nov 28 2019 ...Heavy snow in the San Juans...windy everywhere else... Main concern this long term will be the impressive long wave trough that will be moving across the region during the first couple of days during this long term forecast period. This system will bring very heavy snow to the San Juans (SJU) and fairly strong winds across the remainder of the region. For the SJU mtns, expect the heaviest snow will fall during the Friday time period were 2-3 feet of snow is likely this day. Overall amounts will likely be in the 3-5 feet range. Winds will also be an issue across the remainder of the region especially during the Friday and Saturday time frame. Strong south to southwest winds will occur Friday, shifting to westerly Friday night and then Northwesterly Saturday. Winds of 40 to 60 mph will be common in the mountains with 30 to 50 mph gusts over the plains. Winds will be bordering high wind criteria on the plains, especially south of US-50, both Friday and Saturday. High wind criteria may occur in the mtns, especially along the CONTDVD, especially Saturday morning. The west slopes of the remainder of the mountains will also do fairly well snow-wise with this storm. The top of the Sangres should see 1-2 feet while the top of the central mtns should see 6-12" with locally higher amounts. For the San Luis Valley (SLV), the best forcing will move across during the daytime period Friday. With max temps in the 30s to around 40F, the snow will likely not accumulate all that much, but this area will have to be watched carefully. As for the rest of the fcst, mainly dry with warming temps. The next system will come across Thursday, but it does not look all that impressive. \/Hodanish && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Friday afternoon) Issued at 1043 AM MST Thu Nov 28 2019 Today - Tonight...Mostly VFR. Still a few pockets of MVFR CIGS at KCOS which should be mixing out and lifting over the next couple of hours. Otherwise light south-southeast winds expected at KCOS/KPUB, some gusts at KALS through sunset. Moisture streams in from the southwest late tonight, though we should stay dry and VFR everywhere. High confidence. Friday...VFR/MVFR/IFR. Expecting another round of morning stratus at KCOS with a little less fog then this morning, dropping CIGS into the high IFR range. Conditions expected to deteriorate at KALS by mid-morning as snow overspreads the region. VSBYS and CIGS drop with the onset of snow and strong southerly winds, gusting 30-35 knots by late morning. KPUB should remain VFR for the remainder of the TAF cycle. Medium confidence overall. && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
