What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this high wind 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 high wind warning went out at Apr 5, 10:26 AM MDT, 4 hours 33 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 5, 10:26 AM MDT, 4 hours 33 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Denver/Boulder CO 1026 AM MDT Tue Apr 5 2022 .UPDATE... Issued at 951 AM MDT Tue Apr 5 2022 Forecast is mostly on track this morning. The cold front tracking across the plains has been a bit stronger than expected, and there appears to have been just enough convergence over the Denver metro to force a couple weak rain/graupel showers. Further north, we're seeing stronger gusts and substantial surface drying, especially in Larimer County. The Buckeye RAWS recently recorded a gust to 75mph with a few other stations flirting with the low to mid 60mph range. These winds are still expected to continue and expand into the rest of the plains and most of the urban corridor this afternoon where High Wind Warnings are in effect until 9PM. Over the mountains, light snow continues to fall, especially above 9000 feet or so. Very strong winds... including a few gusts over 100 mph... have been noted at a few ski resorts, and the combination of snow and wind will lead to difficult travel through this evening. The current headlines and snow/wind grids look reasonable and very little changes were made there. Perhaps the most important question left for today is what happens to the low-level moisture. Dew points upstream in Wyoming are in the single digits to teens, and the HRRR suggests dew points dropping significantly over the plains by the mid-afternoon. We should see humidities fall into the 15-25% range (perhaps even lower if the HRRR is correct) for several hours this afternoon. While the exact T/Td/RH values in our grids may not be perfect - the overall story remains the same... near-critical/critical fire weather conditions are likely this afternoon and evening across the plains... and Red Flag Warnings will remain in effect until 9PM. && .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 542 AM MDT Tue Apr 5 2022 The mountain wave is bringing strong and gusty winds down into the foothills this morning and our High Wind Warning for the foothills remains in effect through 9 AM. Widespread orographic showers and strong winds in the high country will persist this morning as the upper low passes to our north near the Canadian border. Northwesterly to westerly flow aloft will continue to increase and the nose of a strong jet moves overhead. Expect further snowfall accumulations through tonight of generally 2 to 5 inches across the mountains and 5 to 10 inches in a few favored areas of the Front Range. Strong winds will continue to gust 60 to 70 mph, causing blowing snow and difficult travel conditions. A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect for the mountains through midnight tonight. Showers will gradually decrease in coverage and intensity through the afternoon and evening. The front is moving through Wyoming and will move over northeast Colorado this morning. Expect strong northwesterly winds 30 to 40 mph gusting up to 65 mph across the plains by afternoon. We have upgraded almost all of our plains to a High Wind Warning from 9 AM through 9 PM. Much of our plains will also have near-critical humidity of 15 to 20 percent during peak afternoon gusts, which will mean critical fire weather conditions in many areas. We have maintained our Red Flag Warning for our plains, from 11 AM through 9 PM. The front will also bring cooler air and a few light rain showers to the lower elevations. Temperatures should fall around 10 to 15 F, with highs down to the 50s on the plains and 20s and 30s in the high country. There may also be some areas of blowing dust on drier parts of the northern and eastern plains late this morning through the early evening. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday) Issued at 542 AM MDT Tue Apr 5 2022 A shortwave will drop south across northeastern Colorado on Wednesday, maintaining the strong northerly low/mid level flow. There are mixed signals about whether the winds will be a bit less or a bit more than today. The low level forcing looks to be a bit less, so we're favoring a bit less wind for areas close to the mountains, but there could be a little more over the northeast corner where deep mixing will mean the larger scale/deeper wind field will have more of an impact. We've issued a High Wind Watch for Wednesday for the northeast plains, but left the Front Range cities out of it thinking the risk there is lower. By Thursday the whole pattern has shifted east, with some warm advection aloft resulting in less mixing and weaker gradients. It will still be windy and the warming will keep humidities low, but it doesn't look like much of a high wind threat. Friday is as much of a break as we will get. Winds should be turning around to southerly near the mountains and should be relatively light. It may still be a bit breezy on the plains, and the warming will keep humidities low. For the weekend, Saturday will feature southwest flow aloft with a bit more wind. This will likely be the warmest day and could be another significant fire weather day. An upstream trough approaches for some chance of rain and cooling, and possibly continue windy conditions on Sunday and Monday. Hopefully there will be more humidity and at least a little precipitation but the details on the structure and location of this system aren't clear yet. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon) Issued at 951 AM MDT Tue Apr 5 2022 Main concerns in the TAF period will be near ILS-cigs in the early afternoon, along with continued gusty winds through the evening. Cold front has passed through the terminals this AM which has led to a few light SHRA across the metro with cigs lowering into the 050-070 range. Expect this activity won't last much past 18z. Winds should also shift back to the northwest this afternoon and strengthen, with a few gusts above 45kt possible. Winds will gradually decrease overnight with gusty winds returning Wednesday. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 542 AM MDT Tue Apr 5 2022 Strong northwesterly winds 30 to 40 mph gusting up to 65 mph across the plains this afternoon coincident with near-critical humidity of 15 to 20 percent will mean critical fire weather conditions in many areas. Strong winds will likely cause rapid growth of any fires. We have maintained our Red Flag Warning for our plains, from 11 AM through 9 PM. Wednesday will be similar to today, and a Fire Weather Watch has been issued for the plains from Fort Morgan and Limon eastward. Thursday will still be windy, but winds will not be as strong as the previous days. Humidities will still be low. Friday will have less wind but will still be dry, with afternoon breezes on the plains. Saturday looks warmer, dry and with more wind again so that could be another significant fire weather day. We'll trend towards cooler temperatures for Sunday and Monday, but it will likely still be windy. There may be some moderation of humidities and light precipitation, but that's not clear so there could still be fire weather issues on these days. && .BOU WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... High Wind Warning until 9 PM MDT this evening for COZ038-040>046- 048>051. Red Flag Warning until 9 PM MDT this evening for COZ238>251.

A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect for the mountains through midnight tonight. Expect gusty winds up to 65 mph across the plains this afternoon and evening. Elevated to critical fire weather conditions are expected across the plains as these winds combine with dry conditions. Red Flag Warnings are in effect this afternoon and evening across the northeast plains. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday Wednesday will likely be nearly as windy as today, with low humidity creating dangerous fire weather conditions. Thursday will still be windy, but a bit less, then Friday will be warm and dry with lighter winds. More warm, dry and breezy weather is expected into the weekend, with a chance of showers and some cooling by Sunday. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be needed but snowfall and high wind reports would be appreciated.
