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 Denver/Boulder, CO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this winter storm warning went out at Feb 4, 8:16 PM MST, 5 hours 51 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 4, 8:16 PM MST, 5 hours 51 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Denver/Boulder CO
816 PM MST Tue Feb 4 2020

.UPDATE...
Issued at 813 PM MST Tue Feb 4 2020

Lingering low level moisture combined with lapse rates around
6 c/km, is continuing to lead to some very light snow/flurries
across portions of the area, this evening. Current data shows
these lapse rates will become more stable overnight, but may
continue to see some areas of very light snow/flurries thru
midnight.

As far as lows, some readings over portions of the higher terrain
have already dropped below -20 so a few areas could get down to -30
overnight. Over nern CO, lows will depend on cloud cover. If
cloud cover decreases overnight combined with new snow cover, then
some places should drop below zero.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 230 PM MST Tue Feb 4 2020

Very small convective snow showers have developed over the I-25
corridor and plains this afternoon. These are producing very
brief periods of moderate snow showers with very minimal
accumulations. These snow showers should end early this evening
since we will lose the weak low level instability that was in
place this afternoon.

Cloud cover will gradually decrease throughout the evening with
mostly clear skies for the rest of the night. The fresh snow cover
and clear skies will allow temperatures to decrease to near zero
across the urban corridor and plains with a few below zero
temperatures possible. The mountain valleys will see much colder
lows in the -10s to -20s. Antero Reservoir could even see the
-30s tonight. We considered a Wind Chill Advisory for the urban
corridor but due to light winds, wind chills will not reach
thresholds for more than an hour or two. Nevertheless, sensitive
groups should prepare for a very cold night.

Ridging moves over our CWA during the day tomorrow with west to
northwest winds increasing at the surface. Temperatures will warm
10-20 degrees above today's highs but will remain below normal.
The majority of the day will be dry but a few light snow showers
may begin in the mountain later tomorrow afternoon.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 135 PM MST Tue Feb 4 2020

Main concern through the end of the week will be periods of
moderate to heavy snow for the northern mountains from Wednesday
night through Friday evening. Portions of the northeast plains may
even get into the act with snowfall potential for Thursday night
and Friday.

Initially, the northwest flow aloft will increase Wednesday night
while moisture depth increases over the mountains after 06z
Thursday and deepens up at least to 500mb. The mountain top flow
will also increase from the northwest at 30-50kt which will
provide the set up for strong orographic lift over the mountains
for an extended period. This will provide heavy snow for the
mountains, especially over higher west and northwest facing
slopes. There will also be a strong 130kt jet streak oriented
northwest to southeast across northern Colorado which will enhance
snowfall even more. Given this prolonged period of snow, will
issue a winter storm watch for heavy snow for the late Wed through
Friday time frame. There is the potential for at least 1 to 3
feet of snow possible with the prolonged period of winter weather.
Moisture depth becomes more shallow late Friday night as the main
jet core finally lifts eastward. Mountains will be going into a
warm advection period with decreasing lapse rates and generally
weak synoptic scale subsidence. Still, all factors point to
impactful winter weather for the mountains.

Across lower elevations, daytime Thursday will remain mainly dry
with the slow warming trend continuing, and readings climbing back
towards seasonal highs. By Thursday night the strong jet core
aloft sneaks out onto the plains and models are generating some
banded areas of accumulating snowfall. Models appear to be
focusing in areas over eastern Weld, Morgan, Logan and Washington
counties with lesser chances further west towards the urban
corridor. Of course this snow potential will depend on the
orientation and location of the jet core. There is also a period
of potential upslope for Friday afternoon and evening so will
continue a chance of snow for much of the plains through Friday.

Saturday looks to be a dry day for much of the state of Colorado
with a flat ridge of higher pressure over us. The next weather maker
will develop over the west by Sunday and into early next week as the
flow aloft shifts southwest. This will bring at least a chance of
snow back into the mountains on Sunday and possibly across the
plains by early next week.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Wednesday night)
Issued at 813 PM MST Tue Feb 4 2020

Stratus affected the airport early this evening but has since moved
east of DIA.  There is another batch over wrn Denver put these
clouds have been moving mainly northward.  For now will keep
additional stratus out of the taf overnight.  As far as winds they
are now light and variable but should become light drainage in the
next few hours.

Lows will drop below zero across most locations tonight.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday

A strong and very moist northwestly flow aloft will bring a
period of heavy snow to the mountains late day Wednesday through
early Saturday. The snowfall is expected to pile up in the high
mountains on Thursday and Friday, heaviest along northwest facing
slopes. There will be a good chance of snow over the plains
Thursday night and Friday as well, with localized bands of
heavier snowfall possible. Temperatures will be below normal
through Friday with slightly warmer readings for the weekend.
Another storm system could bring snow the mountain areas on Sunday
with a slight chance of snow spreading into the northeast plains
of Colorado by Monday.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Snowfall reports from spotters will be appreciated.
