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 Pueblo, CO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this winter storm warning went out at Mar 9, 9:06 PM MST, 6 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 9, 9:06 PM MST, 6 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Pueblo CO
906 PM MST Wed Mar 9 2022

.UPDATE...
Issued at 844 PM MST Wed Mar 9 2022

Given current trends in model data, the Winter Weather Advisory
for the southern Sangre de Cristo Mountains has been upgraded to
a Winter Storm Warning, in effect now through Friday morning.
There is a possibility that additional areas could be upgraded to
a Winter Storm Warning if snow totals continue to trend upward
around this area. Continue to monitor the latest forecast for any
updates.

Elsewhere across the forecast area, current guidance and
mesoanalysis suggest the strongest mid level frontogenesis has
moved out of the region, and with that the heaviest snow as well.
With that said though, a short wave trough is passing over
southern Colorado, and in response to that, increased synoptic
ascent. Given that, light snow will continue through the night
across southern Colorado.

UPDATE Issued at 621 PM MST Wed Mar 9 2022

Snow is increasing over parts of the Pueblo forecast area and will
continue to do so over the next few hours. Current trends show
two pockets of increased snowfall across the plains, with one
along NE Pueblo, SE El Paso, and NW Crowley counties, and the
other along southern Pueblo County. Radar also shows a boundary
draping southward across Pueblo County. This boundary is likely
the Arctic cold front. Examining current model and mesoanalysis
data, the band along the Pueblo, El Paso, and Crowley county area
is likely driven by 700mb frontogenesis taking place over that
region. The southern Pueblo County band is likely being induced by
stronger upsloping, as the Arctic front pushes up along the
rising terrain in that area. Light to moderate snow is expected
under these bands, which could lead to quicker snow accumulations
on roads and other surfaces. Elsewhere across the plains, lighter
snow is still ongoing and expected given the overall synoptic
ascent with a passing short wave trough.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday)
Issued at 306 PM MST Wed Mar 9 2022

Key messages:

1) Bitter cold air spreads across the area tonight, with snow
developing many areas as well.

2) Bands of heavy snow possible tonight and again Thursday
afternoon, especially along and south of the Arkansas River and over
the Wet/Sangre de Cristo Mountains.

3) Winter Weather Highlights remain unchanged from earlier forecast

Cold front through much of eastern Colorado at mid-afternoon, as
surface low pressure sinks southward into New Mexico. Broad upper
trough over the western U.S. has gradually deepened today, with weak
upward motion spreading across most of the area this afternoon. Have
seen mainly light snow so far today, especially back over the
Continental Divide, though deepening low level upslope was aiding in
snow shower generation over the Pikes Peak region, and accumulating
snowfall was noted over Monument Hill as of 2 pm. For tonight, first
piece of upper energy lifts out across the area, though still some
model differences in position of the main snow band this evening, as
forecast location of weak mid level circulation varies between nrn
NM and central CO. In general, stuck close to previous snowfall
forecast, which tracks well with the HRRR/GFS, with the heavy snow
band located from the Wets through Pueblo into Crowley county,
though El Paso county could see a few hours of slightly heavier snow
early this evening, as initial weaker band fills in across the area.
Over the mountains, snowfall will continue overnight, especially
over the Divide as moist w-sw mid level flow continues. Still have
some patchy blowing snow in the grids over the plains, though
surface pressure surge doesn't look as impressive as earlier
thought, and backed off wind speeds east of the mountains as a
result. Cold air will continue to pour southward across the area
overnight, with temp/wind combination leading to wind chills below
zero at many locations Thu morning. Upward vertical motion weakens
for the first half of the day Thu, and expect snow to taper off to
flurries or end for a period, especially along and east of the
mountains, though clouds will likely persist. In the afternoon, main
piece of energy with the western trough approaches, with snowfall
increasing in coverage and intensity by early evening. Focus for
snow will be over the Sangres/Wets/srn I-25 corridor, where some
pockets of heavy snow look likely as mid/upper level lift ramps up.
Max temps will remain cold across the area, with readings well below
freezing over all but the San Luis Valley.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 306 PM MST Wed Mar 9 2022

Key messages:

1) The low pressure system will be exiting the region by Friday
morning, but until then, snow and gusty winds will still be in
place. Very cold temperatures will remain in place and some
locations will have frigid temperatures Friday night.

2) Ridging will temporarily build in for the weekend with much more
mild temperatures, which will be right around the seasonal average
or even slightly above for most locations by Sunday. Mid level
northwesterly flow could bring a few snow showers to the northern
Sawatch Range on early on Saturday.

3) A deepening shortwave trough will move quickly across the region
Sunday night through Monday will provide a chance of snow, mainly
over the higher elevations, and a slight cooldown.

4) A well amplified ridge looks to build back in on Tuesday but then
quickly be replaced by troughing advancing towards the region by
late Wednesday. Snow will be possible over the mountains and
adjacent plains Wednesday evening.

Detailed discussion:

Thursday night through Friday night...

Model data has remained fairly consistent with the timing of the
positively tilted major shortwave trough axis moving over the CWA
and being between 09Z and 15Z on Friday (2 AM to 8 AM Friday
morning). With this, there will continue to be impacts from this low
pressure system, beginning with the main brunt of snow over the
southern portion of the Lower Arkansas River Valley, and the
southwestern and eastern mountains around 00Z on Friday (5 PM
Thursday evening). This will then be transitioning to the southern
portions of the CWA throughout the night, with snow ending by around
15 to 18Z on Friday (8 to 11 AM) over the southern Sangre de Cristo
Mountains. Some models indicate that a generous amount of banding is
going to initiate over the southern portion of the Lower Arkansas
River Valley late Thursday evening and then slowly drift southward
and redevelop over the far southeastern plains by early Friday
morning. The NAM 4km Nest also emphasizes on heavier banding over
Huerfano County at around 6-8 PM Thursday evening, along with a
heavier snow band over the central San Luis Valley and Baca County
around this time. The HRRR tends to keep the heavier banding to the
south over western Las Animas County. Depending on where the snow
bands actually establish themselves and the extent of them could
determine which areas to the east see more snow. For instance, if
the heavier banding is over Huerfano and southern Pueblo county,
given the mid level wind flow out of the WSW, Crowley County could
receive heavier amounts, whereas if the banding is further south
over western Las Animas County, Otero could receive higher amounts.

Winds will be initially be out of the NE direction over the plains
during Thursday afternoon and provide better isentropic upgliding,
but then winds will begin to shift to the NW and weaken. This will
reduce the amount of upgliding and snow bands should begin to weaken
in intensity. Winds on the backside of the low pressure center,
which will be southeast of Colorado, will begin to increase due to
tightening of the pressure gradient over the far southeastern
plains. Due to this, and having the polar airmass in place, wind
chill values could be potentially dangerous for a few hours during
the early morning hours over some areas of the eastern plains. A
blend of the BCONSALL and NAM 10 percentile was used to lower
temperatures within the shallow polar air mass that will infiltrate
the plains, bringing low temperatures down to the single digits for
most locations, and below 0F for high country. Another area of focus
for very cold overnight lows will be Wet Mountain Valley, where some
latest model guidance has suggested that Westcliffe could get
down to as low as -20F if there is enough clearing of lower
stratus cloud and radiational cooling.

During the late morning on Friday, snow showers will be more
confined to the southern CWA, and will continue to taper off with
the last remaining showers over the southern Sangre de Cristo
Mountains diminishing by around midday. With the polar airmass still
in place, high temperatures will only warm to around the mid 30s for
the plains and slightly warmer over the Upper Arkansas River Valley
and San Luis Valley. For the mountains, highs will generally be in
the teens and 20s, with single digits for the highest peaks. Higher
pressure will continue to move in with clearing skies throughout the
day.

Saturday through Sunday afternoon...

Some ridging will temporarily begin to build in over the region
throughout the weekend. There will be some residual moisture in the
mid levels and with the predominantly NW'ly flow, due to this, there
could be some light snow showers over the northern Sawatch range
during the early morning hours on Saturday. The downsloping winds
will be to warm most lower elevations back up to around the seasonal
average, especially by Sunday, where some locations will have high
temperatures slightly above average over the southeastern plains.

Sunday evening through Monday...

Models tend to somewhat agree with a minor shortwave at the 500 mb
level that will deepen as it rapidly propagates over the region by
late Sunday evening and throughout the early part of the day on
Monday. This will allow for a cooldown and chance of snow over the
higher elevations, mainly the northern Central Mountains. Being that
the wave will be quite premature, it will be mostly moisture starved
and therefore not expecting for there to be much in the way of lower
level moisture to be present. There is also going to be a chance of
some snow also over the Rampart Range and Palmer Divide. Some of the
GEFS ensemble members are also suggesting that there is going to be
precipitation over the southern plains, but given the orientation of
this trough, at this time there does not appear to be a lot of data
to give confidence that this will occur and therefore the QPF in the
NBM has been removed from this area. Chances are that only virga
will exist over most of the plains and the only impact will be an
increase of winds over the eastern plains, which will become quite
strong and gusty going into the afternoon hours. Cooler for highs on
Monday, and much closer to the seasonal average for this time of
year.

Tuesday through Wednesday...

Model guidance and ensembles are generally showing a warming trend
as ridging occurs over the region on Tuesday. Temperatures look to
be slightly above the seasonal average for most locations for highs
on Tuesday, but then cooling down on Wednesday as the trough
upstream begins to approach the southeast Colorado and breaks down
the ridge. It is still too far out in the forecast period to have
confidence of when this next low pressure system is going to impact
the region, but some guidance and ensemble members suggest that
there will be snow showers moving over the Central Mountains and
adjacent plains as early as late afternoon of Wednesday next week.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Thursday evening)
Issued at 306 PM MST Wed Mar 9 2022

At KCOS and KPUB, cold front is through both sites, with MVFR cigs
and snow showers developing as of 2130z. Expect steadier snow and
IFR conditions at both sites starting around 00z and continuing
overnight. Some improvement back to MVFR vis Thu morning as snow
becomes light/flurries, then increasing snow intensity will lead to
IFR vis again after 18z-20z. Models have backed off on the strength
of the surface pressure gradient into this evening, and have
lowered gusts into the 15-25 kt range.

At KALS, gradually lowering VFR cigs this evening, with vcsh
starting 02z and continuing through the night. Brief periods of MVFR
cigs and IFR vis possible with any heavier showers. Better chance of
snow and potential IFR conditions Thu afternoon after 18z as snow
spread eastward across the San Luis Valley.

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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

An upper storm will move across the region through tonight.  Snow
will continue along the Continental Divide, with periods of moderate
to heavy snow through tonight.  The heaviest snow is forecast over
the San Juan Range.  Snow will spread east into the Eastern
Mountains by this afternoon and prevail through the overnight hours.

On the Plains, spotty, near critical fire weather conditions will be
possible this afternoon over Las Animas and Baca Counties due to
gusty winds and low humidity values.

A strong cold front will drop south across the Plains this afternoon
into the evening.  Snow is forecast to develop behind the front,
initially over the Palmer Divide, and spreading south along the
Interstate 25 corridor.  Heavier snow bands are possible, mainly
from Pueblo to near Eads this evening and overnight.  Gusty winds
will likely produce areas of blowing snow across the Plains
producing hazardous travel conditions.

Wind chill readings are likely to fall to 10 to 15 degrees below
zero overnight.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday

Lingering snowfall will continue over the mountains and the I-25
corridor on Thursday morning, but will wane by the mid-morning
hours. By Thursday afternoon, banded snowfall will return over the
mountains and over the southern I-25 corridor from Pueblo to the
New Mexico border. Additional snowfall totals over the I-25
corridor and the mountains will be around 2-5 inches, whereas the
far eastern plains and the mountain valleys will have less than an
inch.

Wind chill readings will likely fall to 10-15 degrees below zero
Thursday night through Friday morning.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will be
possible across all of south-central and southeast Colorado through
