Area forecast discussion, Oct 18, 3:32 PM MDT, 7 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pueblo CO 332 PM MDT Fri Oct 18 2019 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday) Issued at 332 PM MDT Fri Oct 18 2019 Currently, GOES water vapor imagery shows a progressive trough advancing east quickly across Colorado. The trough has spawned the development of isolated to scattered showers, and occasional rumble of thunder, across the high terrain, including light snow showers at elevations over 9,000 ft. West to southwest winds associated with the trough are gusting in access of 30 mph across most of southern Colorado. The trough has sent a cold front south down the eastern Colorado plains, and as of 2100 UTC, had cleared EL paso County and was advancing through Pueblo, Crowley, and Kiowa Counties. Winds behind the front are northerly, gusting as high as 50 mph initially, decreasing to 30-40 mph further behind. Isolated rain showers have developed along and behind the front along/near the I-25 corridor. Additional isolated rain showers have developed ahead of the front over the southeast plains. Temperatures span the 70s to 80s across the plains, decreasing about 10 degrees immediately behind the front (now 50s-60s in El Paso County). Tonight, the trough axis will exit east out of Colorado, and the front will continue to progress south down the eastern plains. Very dry air will move in behind the trough, with TPW dropping to 50% of normal or drier. Gusty winds at the surface will switch to a northerly direction across the plains behind the front, and northwesterly over the higher terrain behind the trough axis. Winds will gradually decrease in intensity across the region through the evening, becoming light across most of the lower elevations by midnight. There will continue to be a dry thunder threat early this evening across the eastern plains ahead of and along the front, so the Red Flag Warning for dry thunder will remain in effect until 8 PM. Precipitation threat will be over across all of the forecast area by 9 PM this evening. Temperatures will fall to around freezing across the plains this evening, and into the teens and 20s in the high valleys. Tomorrow, northwest to westerly flow aloft will persist during the day behind the previous day's trough and ahead of another trough digging into the northern Rockies. Very dry air with near normal temperatures will remain in place over southern Colorado, so surface RH is expected to dip to critical levels across western portions of the forecast area. Additionally, west winds gusting to around 35 mph will mix to the surface and combine with the low RH and continued dry fuels to create critical fire weather conditions. Therefore, the Fire Weather Watch has been upgraded to a Red Flag Warning for tomorrow from Noon to 8 PM, for the central mountains, San Luis Valley, eastern mountains, and the I-25 corridor counties. The exception will be Pueblo County, where RH is forecast to be just above critical levels, and winds will be slightly weaker. No precipitation is expected tomorrow given very dry conditions and lack of forcing between systems. Temperatures will rise to around 70 across the plains during the afternoon, with lower 60s expected in Colorado Springs, and mid 50s to mid 60s in the high valleys. .LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Friday) Issued at 332 PM MDT Fri Oct 18 2019 ...Increasing winds Sunday with fire weather concerns... ...Some mountains snow Sunday especially in Lake and Chaffee Counties... .Saturday night and Sunday...Trough swings across Colorado late Saturday night into Sunday, and a Pacific cold front will move across the mountains and onto the plains on Sunday. Main concern for the plains and eastern mountains is the increased wind speeds with fire weather issues. Wind speeds will have not problem meeting red flag criteria with winds gusting exceeding 35 mph over much of the region. Looking at vertical profiles, it appears there will be forward shear which will diminish the threat for stonger downslope winds in the lee of the mountains. Northwest flow behind a front is not the typical pattern for critical fire weather conditions. However, airmass behind the cold front will be dry with brisk northwest winds. Used a combination of CONSAll and NBM for winds as NBM can be too light. Also decreased the dew points in the NBM using CONSRaw as NBM has a moist bias with these low dew point situations. Humidities on the plains dip to around 12 to 15% during the day on Sunday. With the dry conditions, will lean towards being cautious and issue a fire weather watch for Sunday. In the mountains of Lake and Chaffee Counties, a burst of heavier snow will accompany the front with lighter snow in the northwest flow behind the front on Sunday. Any amounts approaching highlight values are at the top of the peaks on Lake County and will not issue any winter weather highlights. .Monday...Secondary disturbance moves over the region in the northwest flow behind the main trough. Main effects will be to produce gusty northwest winds over much of the region. Winds do not look as strong as on Sunday and humidities are slightly higher than on Sunday. Still may be some fire weather concerns over portions of the plains. Other effect from the trough will be to produce some snow over the mountains, mostly in the mountains of Lake and Chaffee Counties. Currently, any accumulations appear to be light. With cooler air aloft, temperatures will remain below average. .Tuesday and Wednesday...Flow aloft becomes westerly as the next trough moves into the northern Rockies on Wednesday. Temperatures will warm to around seasonal values. Some light snow may start returning to the mountains of Lake and Chaffee Counties Wednesday as the trough approaches. .Thursday and Friday...The upper trough moves across the region with a surface cold front moving southward over the plains and eastern mountains. This pattern can produce snow over the eastern mountains and eastern plains as well as the remaining mountains. Some members of the GFS ensemble suggest the trough could be deeper, slower, and further west which would increase the chances for snow over the region. EC ensemble mean is further west than the operational EC implying some members also have a slower, deeper and further west trough. NBM POPs capture the forecast well with scatterer PoPs over much of the region along with cooler temperatures. --PGW-- && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Saturday evening) Issued at 332 PM MDT Fri Oct 18 2019 VFR conditions are expected at the three TAF sites (KALS, KCOS, KPUB) over the next 24 hours. A storm system moving across the region is bringing gusty winds and isolated light rain chances to the three sites early this evening. A cold front has pushed south through KCOS and KPUB, causing winds to shift out of the north and gust as high as 40 knots. Wind speeds will gradually decrease through the early evening, becoming light at all three sites by around 03Z through tomorrow morning, increasing out of the south during the afternoon. && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

Thunderstorms will produce little precipitation, erratic gusty outflow winds and lightning. Lightning may lead to new fire starts across the Plains, while outflow winds may cause fires to spread rapidly. High elevation snow is possible, mainly above ll000 feet. Locations north of Cottonwood Pass may see 1 to 3 inches of snow on area peaks. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday Increasing fire danger is expected across the higher terrain along and west of the I-25 Corridor on Saturday and across most of southeast Colorado on Sunday, as strong and gusty westerly winds and low humidity levels, combined with dry fuels, will create critical fire weather conditions. Caution is urged with any outdoor burning activities. Accumulating snow is expected across the Continental Divide Saturday night and Sunday, especially across the central mountains, where 3 to 6 inches of snow will be possible. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will be possible across the Central Mountains north of Cottonwood Pass through this evening. 88/23
