URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Denver CO
1034 AM MDT Wed Apr 15 2020

...ANOTHER RETURN TO WINTER FOR NORTHERN COLORADO...

.A storm system will bring increasing snow to the northern
Colorado mountains this afternoon, with heavy snow likely later
this afternoon and into Thursday. Much uncertainty remains about
where this heavy snow will be and how much snow will come with
it, but the threat appears greatest along the northern Colorado
border and in and near the northern foothills. Snow will continue
into Thursday afternoon and evening, but at this time it looks 
like it will be lighter then. The biggest travel impacts will be 
tonight with lesser impacts on Thursday due to snow melting on 
warm surfaces.

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 Apr 14, 2:50 PM MDT, 19 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 14, 2:50 PM MDT, 19 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Denver/Boulder CO
250 PM MDT Tue Apr 14 2020

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 211 PM MDT Tue Apr 14 2020

Northern Colorado remains under a moderate northwest flow pattern
today and this will continue tonight. Satellite imagery showing
some convective cloudiness has developed over the northeast plains
this afternoon, but low levels are quite dry so no precipitation
is expected. Gusty northwest winds will continue over the northeast
plains with speeds up to 30 mph as low levels have mixed out.
These winds will decrease this evening as the sun goes down and
airmass decouples. Stronger wind gusts will continue in the mountains
with speeds in the 30 to 50 mph range, especially over the mountain
passes through Wednesday morning with increasing mountain top
flow. With marginal moisture and a bit of instability, will see isolated
to scattered snow showers in the mountains tonight and into Wednesday
morning.

On Wednesday, the next strong upper trof will move into the Northern
Rockies with increasing QG ascent noted during the afternoon hours
for the far northern sections of Colorado.  Increasing convective
showers expected in the mountains with some light snow developing in
the afternoon, but main event not until Wednesday night and beyond
with increasing dynamics and orographic lift. Model qpf amounts
seem too high in the mountains during the daytime, most likely due
to convective issues. The deeper moisture does not arrive until
Wednesday evening with the brunt of the snowfall expected.  Cold
front approaches the northeast plains during the afternoon with
convective showers also spreading out over the plains. Continued
warming on the plains with northwest downslope flow and reduced
snow cover on the ground from today.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 250 PM MDT Tue Apr 14 2020

Models are already having issues resolving the shortwave
trough digging down from the Canadian Rockies Wednesday night. The
GFS is quickly becoming the deeper and most progressive over the
forecast area, while the GEM is too quick pushing the surface
feature in and moisture. Following guidance on the more stable and
consistent ECMWF, will be slowing the arrival of the heavier snow
into the forecast area Wednesday night.

As the trough continues to sag south Wednesday night, the westerly
jet will lie across the forecast area giving jet dynamics and
possible banding to the snow in addition to the overall convective
nature. This will start the higher impactful snowfall rates over
the northern mountains, have started a Winter Storm Watch at this
time. At the surface, a low over southeastern CO will pull in
colder air and moisture from the north. However, the main deeper
cold front from this system, which will bring favored upslope flow
is not expected to push in until Thursday morning. Still, snow
levels will likely reach the surface over the plains by midnight
for scattered to numerous snow showers overnight, especially along
the northern state border. Will likely see Advisory level snowfall
rates, if not Warning level over the foothills, though timing has
lower confidence due to colder air and when upslope begins, so
have opted for a Watch. Inconsistencies in the models for the
duration and intensity of snow over the northern plains resulted
in the issuance of a Watch there as well.

A main cold front will wedge south Thursday morning with
northeasterly winds of 15 to 20 mph with gusts to 30 mph
possible. Good upslope flow will begin widespread snow against the
Front Range Mountains, Foothills and the urban corridor. Have
issued a Watch for the mountains south of I-70 as Advisory, if not
Warning amounts should start up, however due to the model
inconsistencies, the confidence in duration of the heavier
snowfall is lower. Temperatures are slightly warmer than Sunday's
system, so have made sure snow ratios were slightly lower as high
temperatures should be in the low 30s across the plains (except
southern Lincoln County which will remain in the 40s). Not
expecting any highlights for the plains at this point, though
closer to the foothills in Boulder and Jefferson counties may
approach advisory levels. Confidence is not high enough however,
especially as we've been decreasing snow amounts.

Opting not to follow the faster GFS guidance which would have the
upper trough axis pushing southeast into Kansas early Friday
morning, most of the area should have snow falling through
Thursday night and into Friday morning, especially areas along and
south of I-70. Overnight lows will be in the teens to 20s.

500 mb heights will be rising Friday and into the weekend, except
for a weakening cutoff low that will travel across Arizona and New
Mexico Saturday that will bring isolated to scattered snow showers
across the mountains with a few rain showers possible over the
urban corridor and Palmer Divide. Otherwise look for warming
temperatures and an overall drier pattern.

The next upper trough to move off the Pacific and affect the state
will arrive sometime between Monday and Tuesday, however it will
be a warmer system, so precipitation should be rain over the
plains, foothills and higher mountain valleys.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon)
Issued at 211 PM MDT Tue Apr 14 2020

VFR through Wednesday afternoon with some increase in mid and high
level moisture tonight and Wednesday. Expect west to northwest
winds this afternoon at terminals before returning to drainage
flow later this evening and overnight. Big changes and next cold
front not until Wednesday night with snow developing again.

This hazardous weather outlook is for northeast and north central
Colorado.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

West to northwest winds will increase this afternoon, with gusts
to around 40 mph near the northern Colorado border and in the
mountain valleys. The mountains and the higher foothills will have
gusts as high as 50 mph, with the strongest winds expected
tonight. There will also be some isolated snow showers over the
mountains this afternoon and tonight, but little or no
accumulation is expected.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday

Wednesday will be warmer before another big change. A storm
system will drop out of the northern Rockies Wednesday afternoon
increasing snow showers across the mountains, especially north of
the I-70 corridor. Across the lower elevations, isolated to
scattered rain showers will develop by late afternoon
transitioning to snow by midnight. Wednesday night through
Thursday night, periods of moderate to heavy snowfall are expected
in the mountains, high valleys and foothills. Across the urban
corridor and adjacent plains, several inches of snowfall will be
possible as well. A strong cold front will enhance upslope flow
Thursday morning to increase snowfall rates. Stay tuned for
additional updates on this developing storm.

Drier and slightly warmer weather will return Friday with just a
slight chance of snow showers in the high country. Over the
weekend, the warming trend will continue. There will still be a
chance of rain and snow showers each afternoon in the mountains,
with a slight chance of rain showers across the northeast plains.
The next storm system expected to impact the state will occur
either Monday or Tuesday, but with warmer temperatures.
