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 Grand Junction, CO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this winter storm warning went out at Dec 21, 10:20 PM MST, 5 hours 14 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 21, 10:20 PM MST, 5 hours 14 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Grand Junction CO
1020 PM MST Tue Dec 21 2021

.SHORT TERM...(Tonight through Wednesday night)
Issued at 157 PM MST Tue Dec 21 2021

Satellite WV loops currently display a dirty ridge rolling over
the Four Corners and a broad trough swooping through the Northern
Plains. This pattern leaves the West Slope sandwiched between the
two systems, draped under a swath of northwesterly winds. Over
time, this sinusoidal wave will shift eastward, allowing the ridge
axis to nudge overhead. As a result, expect an uptick in mid to
high- level clouds spilling across the CWA this evening and
overnight. A thin layer of cloud cover may insulate a few localized
areas, though in general, expect fairly consistent overnight lows
to previous readings.

Before the ridge axis can settle directly atop the UT/CO border, a
rotating low off the eastern Pacific will send a pulse of energy
inland, traversing the Northern Rockies as it becomes absorbed in
Westerly flow. This little perturbation will be sufficient enough
to deamplify the ridge aloft on Wednesday, and slowly shift 500mb
winds to more zonal flow. Temperatures Wednesday afternoon will
dip 3 to 8 degrees across northern UT and CO, in response to the
squashed ridging. However, areas generally along and south of
I-70 will see very little change to the high temperature forecast.
One caveat that could throw off my current forecast, may be an
uptick in mid to high level clouds following along the jet stream
positioned overhead. The end result would be slightly cooler
temperatures than anticipated.

Guidance shifts mid level flow from the southwest overnight, while
the next approaching system dives southward, along the Pacifc coast.
This will be the last dry period as the weather pattern begins to
shift toward wintery conditions, as discussed below.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday through Tuesday)
Issued at 157 PM MST Tue Dec 21 2021

A long duration atmospheric river event will take hold of the
western United States from Thursday onwards as a series of systems
and an abundance of moisture progress onshore. Upper level flow
will shift to the southwest across eastern Utah and western
Colorado ahead of the first system as a broad Pacific trough
elongates off the west coast. This will see temperatures climb to
4 to 8 degrees above normal Thursday afternoon. In response, snow
levels will be on the rise, which makes for a tricky forecast as
precipitation begins to develop across the region as early as
mid to late Thursday. The aforementioned trough will push inland
and settle over western California Thursday night before quickly
trekking east across the Great Basin on Friday. Precipitable water
is expected to almost double across much of the area during this
period and sit at 200 to 300% of the climatological normal for
late December by Friday evening. Late Friday and early Saturday
will see the now embedded shortwave axis pass over the Divide,
ushering in a weak cold front. Precipitation looks to taper off
slightly on Saturday afternoon as the next upper level trough
quickly moves inland across the western CONUS Saturday evening.
The good news about this secondary system is the colder airmass
with 700mb temperatures dropping to -14 to -18 degrees C during
its initial push onshore. Showers will increase in earnest across
the Western Slope on Sunday as the trough approaches with its
passage looking to occur Sunday afternoon/evening. Lower heights
will continue to dominate the western states as we head into the
last week of 2021 with yet another trough digging into the
Northern Rockies during the Monday/Tuesday timeframe. Its arrival
will continue to reinforce the cold air established earlier in
the period with 700mb temperatures on track to reach the low to
mid negative teens across the forecast area.

Now that the general groundwork has been laid for this prolonged
period of cool and unsettled weather, it's time to talk specifics,
namely confidence and where uncertainty remains. As far as
moisture is concerned, confidence is very high that an abundance
of mositure will be available with the aforementioned PWATs still
expected to near the 99th percentile for the region. Confidence
is also somewhat high with the systems themselves, specifically
having one move through on Friday, another late this weekend, with
a final disturbance rounding out the long term period. With this
many features in play, one of the biggest challenges going forward
will be nailing down when the greatest impacts are expected.
Because, with this pattern, it's highly possible that some of the
higher elevations will not see much, if any, break in snowfall
from Thursday evening onwards. As a result, highlight duration
will be difficult, especially with the upcoming holiday travel
where people will be looking for some gaps in order to drive east,
west, or wherever they choose to go! High-end advisories look
favorable for the first wave for the western Colorado mountains,
but things could change as we're still a few days out. Jet
dynamics late Friday will result in more efficient snow rates for
the higher elevations, in addition to the favorable orographics
in the southwest and then west-facing slopes with this first
system. As noted previously, the warm antecedent conditions as a
result of the southwesterly flow late Thursday and Friday will
make for a difficult snow level forecast as this first system
begins to impact the region, particularly for the southern and
central valleys. The frontal passage late Friday will see light
snow accumulate in some of the valleys, though the Grand Valley
and areas in east-central and southeast Utah look to hover too
close to freezing for more than a rain/snow mix at this time. As
we head into the late weekend and early next week systems, more
significant snow will be possible for many higher elevations, but
amounts are highly subject to change this far out.

The overarching message for the long term period is to be prepared
for rapidly changing conditions, particularly in the mountains, as
a series of systems impact the region. If travelling for the
holidays, snow, blowing snow and icy conditions could make for
treacherous travel over mountain passes beginning late Thursday
and potentially continuing through the weekend. Now is the time to
continue to monitor the forecast, and consider making alternative
plans for any travel.
