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 Pueblo, CO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this high wind warning went out at Apr 21, 11:24 AM MDT, 3 hours 12 minutes earlier.

National Weather Service Pueblo CO
1124 AM MDT Thu Apr 21 2022

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 357 AM MDT Thu Apr 21 2022

Key messages:

1) Critical fire weather conditions expected today over the San Luis
Valley, the Wet Mountain Valley, and Fremont, Huerfano, and Las
Animas counties.

Currently...Brisk west to southwest flow aloft across the region
continues, with mostly clear skies and light winds at the surface.
Temps have cooled into the 40s across the plains as of 3 AM, and
into the 30s for the high valleys.

Today...West to southwest flow aloft will begin to strengthen and
shift to a more southwest direction through the day today as the
upper low pressure system just off the West Coast sags to the south
and starts to cross on land. However, low level flow across the
eastern plains is forecast to remain out of the east for much of the
day, drawing in higher dewpoints and helping to keep the relative
humidity elevated. Surface winds across Las Animas County near the
NM border are expected to shift southerly and increase through the
afternoon, so the warm advection will likely shunt the llvl moisture
and the ongoing Red Flag there looks good. However, latest HRRR run
keeps easterly flow the entire day along the Arkansas River back
across Pueblo County and into Fremont County, so the Red Flag for
Fremont may not happen. Otherwise, plenty of sun today on tap though
some smoke from NM fires will likely push up and to the northeast
across the plains today. Plan on high temps in the 70s for the high
valleys, and mid 70s to lower 80s for the plains.

Tonight...The West Coast system moves onshore across CA tonight, and
the southwest flow aloft strengthens impressively across the Four
Corners as the pressure gradient tightens and the upper jet pushes
into UT. Plan on mostly clear skies tonight and lighter south to
southwest winds as the surface flow decouples from the stronger
winds aloft. Overnight lows should be somewhat milder as well, with
minimums in the mid 30s to lower 40s for the high valleys, and 40s
to around 50F for the plains. Moore

.LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday)
Issued at 357 AM MDT Thu Apr 21 2022

.LONG TERM...

Key Messages:

1) Multi faceted high impact event for Friday/Friday night ranging
from High Winds and Extreme Fire Danger along with blowing dust, to
potential for severe thunderstorms far eastern plains, to snow along
the continental Divide.

Potent negatively tilted upper trough will close off as it moves
from the Great Basin into Wyoming Friday into Friday night.  This
will put southern CO under a strong south southwesterly upper level
jet which will eject eastward across the region on Friday. Initial
risks will be high winds which should set in during the morning for
the southeast mountains, San Luis Valley and Raton Ridge regions,
then spread northeastward through the late morning and afternoon.
With deep mixing, we could easily see gusts in the 60 to 70 mph
range. Areas to widespread blowing dust will be likely which could
cause travel impacts along with the strong cross winds for travelers
across the region.  When coupled with humidity levels dropping well
below 15 percent for the valleys, southeast mountains and plains,
this will lead to Extreme Fire Danger for much of the area.  For
highlights, have upgraded the Fire Weather Watch to a Red Flag
Warning with an earlier onset of 9 AM to account for rapidly
lowering humidities and increasing winds across southern areas.  The
warning will continue until 9 PM as winds shift sharply from the
west during the late afternoon and evening hours with the
trough/frontal passage.  Areas of blowing dust will also be a
concern and may need to add some Blowing Dust Advisories or even
Dust Storm Warnings as the event unfolds. Have also expanded High
Wind Watches westward to include the San Luis Valley and Wet
Mountain Valley, the Sangre de Cristo and Wet mountains and central
and eastern Fremont county as well as the I-25 corridor counties of
El Paso, Pueblo and Huerfano. Latest high res models suggest the
axis of stronger winds has shifted/expanded westward to encompass
these areas.  Will need to watch central Chaffee county closely for
possibly expansion of high wind highlights.

Dry line across the far eastern counties may initiate some isolated
severe thunderstorms during the late afternoon and evening hours.
High res models suggest the potential for the dry line to back a bit
westward during the early evening hours. With impressive CAPE and
shear, all severe risks will be in play with the greatest potential
near the KS border in the 00z to 06z timeframe.  There are still
varying solutions on the position of the dry line, but with several
CAMs models showing the potential for thunderstorm initiation across
far eastern CO counties, the risk for significant severe can not be
discounted, especially as an area of Enhanced Severe potential is
not too far to the east of the CO/KS border.  Please continue to
monitor the latest forecasts.

And finally snow will ramp up along the Continental Divide Friday
night and continue into the weekend as more energy drops southward
in northwest flow aloft. snowfall amounts still look light at this
point, but blowing snow could increase impacts in the Friday
night/Saturday time frame with advisories for the higher peaks still
not out of the question.

The system ejects to the northeast with Saturday looking like
another potential Red Flag Day for the southeast plains and San Luis
Valley ahead of the cold front which will shift winds from the north
Saturday afternoon and evening ushering in cooler temperatures and
higher humidity values.  Timing of the front still varies with the
latest models and with 2 fire weather highlights already in play
will not hoist any more fire weather highlights for Saturday just
yet.  Models do hint at some showers in and near the southeast
mountains Saturday night though have trimmed back pops considerably
as moisture does not look all that impressive.

Another trough drops in for Sunday bringing the potential for
another round of showers to the mountains and possibly the adjacent
plains as well given some upslope in place. This may be our best
hope for seeing some light precipitation amounts across portions of
southern CO but overall do not think QPF will be all that great
given the progressive open trough.

Otherwise dry and warmer weather will return for early next week
with the potential for another system towards day 8. -KT

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Friday afternoon)

This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of central...east
central...south central and southeast Colorado.

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

Gusty winds 30 to 40 mph and critical Fire Weather conditions
across the San Luis Valley, southeast mountain areas, and southern
I-25 corridor are expected to continue this afternoon. Please
avoid any activities that could spark and ignite a wildfire.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday

Multiple high impact hazardous weather types are expected across
Southern Colorado Friday and Friday night. High and potentially
damaging winds as well as widespread extreme fire danger will
spread across most of the forecast area on Friday. Damaging winds
up to 70 mph and very low relative humidity will produce volatile
conditions for rapid fire growth and spread. Areas of blowing
dust could also pose visibility issues. The winds will also be
hazardous to high profile vehicles.

Isolated severe thunderstorms will be possible near the Kansas
border, potentially from the La Junta area eastward, Friday
evening, with the main risks being hail and damaging winds.

Wind driven snow will spread into the Continental Divide Friday
night into this weekend, with light to moderate accumulations.

Critical fire weather conditions will return to the valleys and
southeast plains on Saturday.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Weather spotters will not be needed today or tonight.
