URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Denver/Boulder CO
241 PM MDT Sat Oct 24 2020

...WINTER SNOW AND COLD HEADED FOR COLORADO...

.A storm system will drop southward across Colorado starting
later tonight, with much colder temperatures and accumulating
snowfall. Snow will first develop over the northern border area
this evening, and then spread slowly southward late tonight into 
Sunday morning. The heaviest snow is expected to fall on Sunday, 
before tapering off late Sunday night into Monday morning.

Temperatures will be very cold, with highs only in the teens to
lower 20s on Sunday. Lows Sunday night will be below zero over
the higher terrain with single digits over the plains. 

The colder temperatures and snow will result in snow covered
roads, and slick travel conditions. If you are planning to
travel, be prepared for slower than normal travel conditions, and
use extra time to reach your destination safely. Also, be
prepared for the sharp change in temperatures and dress warmly in
several layers of clothing.

906 PM MDT Sun Oct 25 2020

...WINTER STORM CONTINUES ACROSS MUCH OF COLORADO...

.Snow will continue across much of Colorado tonight and will 
diminish on Monday. The heaviest snow was over northwestern and
northern areas on Monday, but it will shift southward into the
central and southern parts of the state tonight and far southern
Colorado Monday morning. In the Denver area and along the

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Denver/Boulder CO
908 AM MDT Sat Oct 24 2020

.UPDATE...
Issued at 900 AM MDT Sat Oct 24 2020

There is a Denver Cyclone west of DIA which likely is going
to mess up temperatures this aftn to the north and west of
the cyclone. In addition inversions may hold due to wave clouds
and smoke from the fires. Could easily see highs only in the
40's north of Denver while south of Denver temps reach the lower
60s.

As far as winter weather highlights will address those issues by
early aftn.

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 317 AM MDT Sat Oct 24 2020

Winds have started to increase along and east of the divide into the
lower foothills of Larimer and Boulder counties as a weak mountain
wave sets up. This mountain wave can be seen on IR and is expected
to erode through the day. However, before that occurs winds are
expected to pick up across the higher peaks of the mountains and
along the foothills where many of our current fires reside with
gusting up to 65 kts for areas above 12,000 feet and 40 to 50 kts
for areas above 10,000 feet. This impact is already seen early this
morning with gusting from 30 to 40 mph at Estes Park sites with
temperatures about 20 degrees warmer over much of the area compared
to the mid-20s across the lower elevations. Mixing through the day
will help to bring the mid-level winds down and increase gusting in
the high mountain valleys to 40 mph by the afternoon. This will aid
in relative humidity values dropping back into the teens and lower
20s along the higher foothills and mountain valley areas continuing
high fire danger across the region. In addition to that, several
models to include high resolution runs are picking up on some week
lee troughing setting up by the afternoon. Models overall have
placed this feature over the base of the foothills pulling in warm
southwest flow into the southern foothills and Palmer Divide areas.
Winds will increase with gusts in the 25 to 30 mph range and drop
relative humidity values below 15% by 1 pm this afternoon. These
features combined with the lack of precipitation in this area
recently warranted expansion of the Red Flag Warning from 1 pm until
7 pm. More details can be found in the fire weather section below.

Temperatures across the lower elevations will respond to the
increase in westerly winds with highs reaching into the 60s for most
areas along the urban corridor ahead of the cold frontal push later
this evening. Further north and east will see increased cloud cover
that will hinder temperatures slightly and most likely only see
highs in the 50s.

A sharp change occurs Saturday evening with a cold frontal boundary
moving in from the northeast. This strong cold front will move
across northern Colorado Saturday evening with sharp temperature
drops behind it after 7 pm. Model guidance suggests Forcing along
the front will create a band of snow showers that moves
southeastward across the area Saturday night most likely after 9 pm.
Fire conditions will finally see a reprieve as winds decrease and
moisture increases with snow moving in during the evening and
spreading across the foothills and onto the plains through the
morning hours.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 317 AM MDT Sat Oct 24 2020

Much welcome relief on the way for Colorado from late Saturday
night through Monday with much colder temperatures and snow. This
will be a huge help to the current fire situation and alleviate
the worsening drought conditions. Expect a nice blanket of snow on
our current fires by Monday morning!

A strong upper level trof will drop southward over from the
Northern Rockies today and then into the Southern Great basin by
late Sunday and Monday. Already, snow is falling across Montana
with temperatures only in the teens and 20s. These conditions will
be moving into much of Northern Colorado by Sunday morning. The
upslope flow will be deepening during the day on Sunday to around
mountain top level of 10-20kt. Temperatures will also continue to
drop during the day as 700mb temperatures drop to -17c. On Sunday
night, surface temperatures expected to now drop to near zero
degrees and this could result in near record low temperatures.
Current record at Denver is 3 degrees on Monday morning. Record
low max on Monday is 31 degrees and will probably break that
record as well.

As for snowfall, still looks like 3-6 inches over the plains and
upwards over a foot in the foothills and higher mountains given
deep upslope. For now will continue with the winter storm watch,
but expect with the expected amounts, advisories look to be a good
bet on the plains and warnings over the higher mountains and
foothills. Imagine a foot of snow over those hot fires! In addition,
there will be a strong 110kt jet oriented across Northern Colorado
which may enhance localized banded snowfall. Conditions improve
during the day on Monday as much of the energy has dropped south
and west of the forecast area. Drier and warmer conditions will
return from Tuesday through the end of the week.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday afternoon)
Issued at 900 AM MDT Sat Oct 24 2020

Denver cyclone is near DIA with variable winds. This cyclone is
fcst to move south with winds becoming easterly.  Stg cold front
will blast thru the area between 03z and 05z with stratus quickly
developing behind it.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 317 AM MDT Sat Oct 24 2020

Winds have increased over the higher terrain of the foothills along
and east of the divide in response to a weak mountain wave that has
formed. These winds are expected to continue through the afternoon
with mixing helping to bring the higher winds into the high mountain
valleys. Humidity will be slightly higher then previous days, but
considering the magnitude of winds and fires burning in heavy
fuels we have a Red Flag Warning in effect until 7 PM Saturday.
Peak gusts could reach 50-60 mph in higher forested areas, with
gusts up to 40 mph expected in lower elevations and high mountain
valleys. Have added the southern foothills and Palmer Divide
region to the warning starting at 1 pm and going until 7 pm with
relative humidity values dropping below 15% with winds potentially
reaching up to 30 mph by the afternoon hours.

Snow and much colder temperatures are then expected to spread from
north to south across the area after 6 pm tonight and continue
through Sunday into Monday.

...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER OVER THE MOUNTAINS, VALLEYS, FOOTHILLS
AND PALMER DIVIDE TODAY..

...WINTER RETURNS SUNDAY...

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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Another critical fire weather day is in store for the region with
high winds, low relative humidities and dry fuels and grasses.
These elements combined can lead to rapid fire spread, especially
around the ongoing large fires in the region. Outdoor burning and
anything that could cause a spark is not advised.

Highs will reach into the 60s across the lower elevations and 50s
over the mountains and far northeastern plains. A cold frontal
boundary will push through after 6 pm and bring much colder
temperatures behind with snow overnight.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday

Snow and much colder temperatures are expected on Sunday and
continue into Monday. Expect 2 to 7 inches of snow across the
plains, and 8 to 18 inches over the foothills and higher mountains
by Monday morning. Temperatures will also reflect the changing
weather pattern with highs only reaching into the teens and 20s
Sunday into Monday with lows in the single digits across the urban
corridor.

Get prepared for a sharp change in our weather. Winter
travel conditions can be expected as temperatures will be cold
enough to allow snow to accumulate on roads, creating slick travel
conditions.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed today and tonight.
