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 Denver/Boulder, CO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this winter storm warning went out at Jan 31, 10:42 PM MST, 3 hours 50 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 31, 10:42 PM MST, 3 hours 50 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Denver/Boulder CO 1042 PM MST Mon Jan 31 2022 .UPDATE... Issued at 804 PM MST Mon Jan 31 2022 Lows across Middle and North Park will not be as cold, in the normal cold areas, as better mixing occurs overnight. Otherwise winds will stay gusty over the higher terrain but speeds will remain below warning criteria. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday) Issued at 354 PM MST Mon Jan 31 2022 Strong, gusty winds over the mountains will diminish through the evening hours as flow aloft and mid level gradients weaken. On the plains, there is a surge of stronger, gusty winds spreading southward. However, a rather persistent anticyclone centered in the Greeley/Weld County area should keep lighter southeasterly winds over most of the I-25 Corridor through the night. Clouds are expected to increase overnight, and then lower again on Tuesday with a continuation of weak southeasterly upslope but gradual moistening. There will also be persistent but generally weak QG through the day, also aiding cloud and eventual snow development. We could see a couple flurries over the mountain peaks tonight, but the main weather maker will begin over the mountains and foothills tomorrow afternoon before spreading snow onto the plains. Temperatures will be much cooler tomorrow, but strong valley inversions will finally be eroding. There is general agreement that the more persistent light snow will start toward mid afternoon in the mountains and foothills, and then onto the plains very late in the afternoon and through the evening, as the column slowly saturates. We've started the Winter Weather Advisory accordingly. More on expected snowfall and amounts in the Long Term discussion below. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Monday) Issued at 354 PM MST Mon Jan 31 2022 Two main concerns for impacts this period: 1) Snowfall Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday 2) Very cold temperatures and hazardous wind chills Wednesday and Thursday Deterministic and ensemble guidance have been consistent in showing the potential for snowfall across the region. There is good upper level support with this system as a 500 mb trough deepens and approaches the region with a favorable region of synoptic ascent. CO becomes positioned in the right entrance region of an upper level jet which will further promote upward motion. Moisture gradually increases Tuesday afternoon/evening which is evident in model soundings. A frontal boundary moves across the plains and winds transition to easterly flow which will later provide favorable flow to enhance snowfall in the foothills. Snowfall will likely start in the afternoon timeframe Tuesday expanding in coverage eastward into the evening hours. Dry air in place may inhibit the onset of snowfall over the urban corridor/plains at first, but cross sections show a decent moist layer in place after 00Z increasing snow chances. Soundings show sufficient upward motion in the dendritic growth zone which will provide ideal conditions for moderate snowfall rates Tues. night into Weds. The main enhancement will likely be a result of the upslope flow. Winds turn SE overnight into Weds. which may enhance snowfall in the northern foothills and Larimer and Weld counties. Model guidance also shows another round of favorable upward motion in the QG-omega fields Weds. which will continue to support snowfall during the day. With positioning under the jet max as it exits, banding is possible although details in where they could set up are uncertain at this time. Main impacts with this system will be its overlap with the PM commute Tues. and AM commute Weds. It will be cold enough for snow to accumulate on roads to create slippery conditions. Snow gradually decreases in the evening hours Weds. In terms of amounts, the foothills will see the best chance for the highest totals given the favorable upslope component flow. Although there is spread among ensemble and deterministic guidance for exact amounts, there is good agreement for the best accumulations to be in the foothills with best chances in the northern foothills. Can see a range of 6-12" in those areas followed by 4-7" in the urban corridor with better chances for higher amounts further west. 2-6" can be expected over most of the eastern plains. Cold temperatures are the next concern for the period. Cold air dives into the region Tues. night over the course of the snow event leading to well-below normal temperatures through Friday AM. Highs on Weds. have a good chance of remaining in the upper teens across the plains/urban corridor. Winds will contribute by putting wind chill values in the single digits below zero for most places. Cloud cover decreases Weds. night into Thurs. and combined with fresh snow cover will result in a frigid night. Lows in the single digits below zero over the plains/urban corridor and negative teens over the high terrain can be expected. Wind chills will be hazardous and approaching wind chill advisory criteria over the plains. With a ridge building into the region, Thursday afternoon and Fri. will be dry with temperatures warming Fri. Ensemble guidance shows the potential for another system Sat. into Sun. which may bring snow chances to mostly the mountains; however, there is uncertainty in the details such as snow amounts. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Tuesday night) Issued at 1042 PM MST Mon Jan 31 2022 Southeast winds will prevail through tonight and into Tuesday morning. Winds eventually turn northeast at 18Z Tuesday. Clouds will increase and lower tonight and Tuesday morning. Ceilings down to 6000 ft may develop by 15z. Snow forms in the Denver area around 00Z Wednesday, maybe a little earlier near the foothills at KBJC. && .BOU WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
