What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this winter storm watch 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 watch went out at Mar 10, 9:46 AM MST, 4 hours 54 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 10, 9:46 AM MST, 4 hours 54 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Denver/Boulder CO 946 AM MST Wed Mar 10 2021 .UPDATE... Issued at 946 AM MST Wed Mar 10 2021 Main short wave has passed well to the north and east of the forecast area this morning, but there was still a modest amount of low/mid level moisture and instability left behind. This has kept a few snow showers going in the mountains and scattered rain and snow showers in lower elevations. We'll see more snow showers in the high country through the rest of the day with sufficient moisture below about 600 mb. Expect another 1-4 inches in the mountains, so current Winter Weather Advisory will remain in effect until 5 pm for the northern tier of mountains. heaviest totals will be under the more persistent convective showers, with some of these capable of producing 1-2" in less than an hour and creating localized hazardous travel conditions. On the plains, despite the building subsidence, we'll likely see a few convective showers, but overall their intensity should be diminished by the downslope flow in place. Most of those would transition to rain as well this afternoon with warming temps. We'll adjust temperatures based on latest observations and lack of scouring of the cooler airmass north of Denver. HRRR appears to be overmixing things again so we'll temper the forecast highs back a bit especially north of Denver. However, that said, with the steep lapse rates we could still see a late day push of strong, gusty winds off the Front Range. Palmer Divide will see stronger, gusty winds to around 40 mph through the day. && .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 244 AM MST Wed Mar 10 2021 A short wave trough embedded in the southwest flow aloft is lifting northeast across the Central Rockies. This will bring snow through mid morning, with some rain mixed in across the lower elevations. Could see a couple inches across far northern Colorado and in the mountains, with less elsewhere. Subsidence spreads across the area later this morning as the wave exits Colorado. Gusty west winds are expected to from this afternoon, mainly along and south of I-70. Airmass will be unstable this afternoon and early evening with lapse rates of 7-9 C/km up to 500mb. Over the mountains, there is a small amount of CAPE as well. Will keep scattered to likely PoPs in the mountains through early evening for this. The stronger showers could produce a quick inch or two of snow and create slippery conditions. Downslope flow east of mountains will limit the amount of showers, but expect a few weak showers to overcome the downslope flow. Thus will have low PoPs into the early evening hours as well. After the early evening showers dissipate, expect dry conditions through the rest of the night as a weak ridge tracks across Colorado. .LONG TERM...(Thursday through Tuesday) Issued at 315 AM MST Wed Mar 10 2021 A large trough which is currently sitting just off the northern California coast will progress towards Colorado over the coming days eventually bringing a significant snowstorm to our forecast area. This trough will take its time moving across the nation and that is part of the reason for the high precipitation values it will bring. The trough will move onto the west coast today and progress southeastward while it begins to cut off from a more progressive trough moving through southern Canada. As it does this, a jet streak will rotate around the base of the trough and will position itself over Colorado on Thursday. Our CWA will be under the left exit region of this jet streak which will provide weak QG ascent despite the upper level pattern forming a slight ridge across the area. The morning will be dry for much of the forecast area although there could be a few light snow showers in the mountains. By the afternoon, some instability will build in over the mountains which may lead to isolated snow showers developing especially north of I-70. By Thursday night, warm air advection will develop around 700 mb increasing the QG ascent. Models are indicating that the northern foothills and areas along the Cheyenne Ridge will see steady snow showers begin to develop potentially lasting for much of the night. These areas could see 2 to 6 inches of snowfall Thursday night. There won't be enough moisture across the plains and much of the southern foothills to produce snowfall so these areas should stay dry or have much lighter snow amounts. By Friday, the cut off trough will move slowly eastward through Arizona as lee cyclogenesis increases substantially across southeast Colorado and northeast New Mexico. The lee cyclogenesis will aid in developing moderate easterly winds across the plains which increases humidities and the chance for light snow. Any accumulation from this snow will likely be in the foothills as other areas should see no accumulation or less than an inch. The main event that has caught eye of weather enthusiasts will begin late Friday and into Saturday. It is also when the models begin to have larger disagreements. What models agree upon is that thunderstorms will develop along a dryline across western Texas to western Kansas as a surface cyclone depends over southeast Colorado and northeast New Mexico. Meanwhile, the cut off trough will move slowly eastward providing ample QG ascent for a long duration of moderate to heavy snowfall across much of our forecast area. What the models differ on is how quickly the cut off trough progresses eastward and how strong the upslope flow is. The GFS and Canadian are more progressive with the cut off trough and have stronger easterly winds at 700 and 500 mb meaning there would be better upslope flow. The ECMWF is slower with the progression of the trough and has weaker upslope flow. To give an example of the difference in upslope flow between the models, the 00Z GFS has an area of almost 60 knots of due easterly 700 mb flow across the northeastern plains of Colorado at 21Z Saturday while the 00Z ECMWF has between 25-30 knots of southeasterly flow during that same time. Considering the GFS has 60 knots of upslope flow screaming towards the mountains and foothills with strong warm air advection and QG aloft, it's not that hard to believe the QPF output near Boulder is around 1.75 inches between 18Z and 00Z Saturday evening. The question is, are the 60 knot easterly winds at 700 mb in the GFS realistic? It seems unlikely. But could the upslope component of the wind be in the 35-45 knot range for a 12-24 hour period? That is much more likely. What peaks my interest is that the model that has the lowest ensemble mean for QPF in Denver is the ECMWF with a mean of 2 inches. That means at this time there are two main solutions, with one being a more intense but quicker moving solution (GFS and Canadian) and the other being the less intense but slower moving solution (ECMWF). With the models becoming more consistent with their solutions, confidence is growing quickly that there will be a high QPF output from this storm perhaps in the 1.5 to 3 inch range for Denver. There is high confidence that snow ratios will be quite low from a climatological standpoint across our forecast area. Soundings show low to mid level lapse rates will be near the moist adiabatic lapse rate while any isothermal layer that develops would likely be above -10 degrees Celsius. In addition, the warm ground temperatures and compaction will aid in lowering snow ratios. It is possible the average snow ratio may end up in the 8 or 9 to 1 ratio with this storm. Therefore, the messaging of 1 to 3 feet of snow for much of our forecast area is still on track. Winds will increase late on Saturday and through Sunday with gusts up to 45 mph possible across the eastern plains near Limon. There air two main aspects of this storm that have high levels of uncertainty. One is where the exact track of the storm will end up which will play a big role in the location of the rain/snow line. The area from Colorado Springs to Limon to Akron to Holyoke could see a good amount of rain if the track ends up being more towards the northwest. Or that area could be a focus for blizzard conditions if the storm tracks farther south and produces more snow. The second uncertainty is the start and end time of the precipitation which is dependent on how quickly the cut off trough moves across. It is these two areas of high uncertainty and the fact that we currently have winter weather highlights in effect that lead us to not issuing a Winter Storm Watch this morning. Models are indicating that another cut off trough could move across Colorado early next week. There isn't much confidence at all that this will occur so PoPs were kept low. The snow cover and cool air aloft should keep temperatures well below normal next week. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday afternoon) Issued at 946 AM MST Wed Mar 10 2021 Lower ceilings and patchy but lifting fog will slowly dissipate through 18Z-19Z. A westerly downslope flow is expected to bring drier conditions, but could still see an isolated shower move off the foothills through about 02Z. Wind forecast is tricky, but should see a period of gusty west winds spread east across most of the Denver area TAF sites during the 19Z-00Z period. A weak surge/cold front will likely back across the area with light northeast winds 01Z-03Z with areas of stratus/MVFR ceilings developing. && .BOU WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

This hazardous weather outlook is for northeast and north central Colorado. .DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight Snow showers will continue across the mountains through early evening. Some of the showers will produce a brief period of heavy snow with a quick inch or two of accumulation, resulting in slick roads in spots. Along the Front Range, gusty winds will develop with winds reaching 45 mph across the foothills, Palmer Divide, and adjacent plains. Critical fire weather conditions are expect across Lincoln county and to the south and east where it will be very dry in addition to the gusty winds. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday Snow showers will be possible in the mountains and foothills Thursday and Thursday night, with 2 to 6 inches of accumulation possible in the northern foothills. More widespread but generally lighter snow showers are possible Friday. Parts of the northern foothills could see another 3 to 5 inches. A significant storm system is still on track to bring widespread snowfall to northeast Colorado Friday night through the weekend. Snowfall amounts across the urban corridor and foothills could be between 1 to 3 feet with potentially higher amounts in the northern foothills. Snowfall amounts will be much lighter west of the Continental Divide. There remains a high degree of uncertainty with regards to snow amounts across the eastern plains, especially farther south and east where some precipitation may fall as rain. Travel across the urban corridor and foothills may become nearly impossible Saturday evening through much of Sunday. The snow will wind down late Sunday night and into Monday as the system exits. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter reports will not be needed today or tonight.
