Temps in the 70s are likely across the lower Ark rvr valley and across the Raton Mesa, while 60s will be felt over the remainder of the plains. SLV should be in the 50s. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday) Issued at 336 PM MDT Tue Mar 17 2020 ...Strong storm system to bring snow, rain and wind on Thursday... Wednesday night-Thursday night...Latest models are still showing some fluctuation on the location of a developing upper low and associated surface low cyclone across eastern Colorado Thursday afternoon, though there is enough confidence that this storm system will bring snow and strong winds to portions of the area to issue winter storm watches for the eastern San Juan mountains as well as for the Pikes Peak region. With that said, the strong eastern Pacific short wave across the Desert Southwest Wednesday afternoon is progged to continue to eject out across the Four Corners region and southeast Colorado late Wednesday night and early Thursday morning before developing a closed low across east central Colorado Thursday afternoon. This system is then progged to continue to lift out across northwestern Kansas and into the northern High Plains Thursday night. Moist southerly flow across the region Wednesday night will allow for showers to continue and increase across the higher terrain, especially along and west of the ContDvd, with showers spreading east across the high valleys through the eastern mountains Thursday morning. Latest models continues to indicate deformation banded precipitation to spread south and east across the Pikes Peak region and northern portions of the plains, north of the Highway 50 Corridor, through the day Thursday. With the vertically stacked low pressure system, gusty west to southwest winds to be realized across the southern I-25 Corridor and Plains Wednesday night into early Thursday morning, with gusty northerly winds spreading across all of the Plains later Thursday morning and afternoon before diminishing from west to east Thursday night. The strong northerly winds will create hazardous travel conditions across the Palmer Dvd and into northern portions Teller and El Paso Counties in snow and blowing snow. Current progged location of the system would keep the area relatively warm on Thursday, with snow levels down to around 6K feet through the day, though would likely see precipitation diminishing across southern portions of El Paso County and into Pueblo County Thursday afternoon with the strong northerly downslope winds. As for snow accumulations, could see 8 to 16 inches across the eastern San Juan mountains and have issued a winter storm watch for late Wednesday afternoon through the day Thursday. Snow accumulations of 4 to 10 inches will be possible across Teller County with 2 to 6 inches possible across northern El Paso County. Across the rest of the higher terrain, snow fall of 2 to 8 inches will be possible and will likely need winter weather advisories on Thursday. Latest models keep some light snowfall ongoing across the eastern mountains into Thursday night, with developing moist low level easterly upslope and modest mid level waa with short wave ridging building across Rockies. Friday-Tuesday...Lower confidence forecast continues for the weekend into early next week, as models indicating differences in the location and strength of more eastern Pacific energy ejecting across the West Coast and Rockies. Current blended model solution keeps best chances of precipitation across the higher terrain, especially along and west of the ContDvd, with below seasonal temperatures Friday before temperatures warm back to around seasonal levels through the weekend. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Wednesday night) Issued at 1141 PM MDT Tue Mar 17 2020 Expect VFR conditions and mainly dry conditions across all of the TAF sites this period. All low level stratus has diminished, and expect either clear skies or scattered high clouds this morning and for much of today. Will see a system begin to approach late in the period and possibly bring some precip to ALS, mainly in the form of rain, if it occurs. Do think it will be developing around ALS late this evening, and included a VCSH to account for this. COS and PUB will remain dry through the end of the period. Expect lighter winds this morning to increase out of a southerly direction later today, with increasing winds and gusts likely in the afternoon. && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
