Area forecast discussion, Apr 3, 7:04 PM MDT, 2 hours 4 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pueblo CO 704 PM MDT Mon Apr 3 2023 .UPDATE... Issued at 702 PM MDT Mon Apr 3 2023 Per GOES sat pix imgy, the dust has lifted off to the northeast away from El Paso county. Likewise, will allow dust advisory for parts of the region to expire. HODANISH UPDATE Issued at 436 PM MDT Mon Apr 3 2023 An area of blowing dust is clearly visible on the blowing dust sat pix imgy. This dust is pushing across the Sangre De Cristos in eastern Fremont and into El Paso counties. Some of this dust will push across NW Pueblo and SE Teller, but the areal coverage is pretty small. HODANISH && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday) Issued at 331 PM MDT Mon Apr 3 2023 Key Messages: 1) Damaging winds continue across the San Luis Valley, the San Juans, and the Sangre de Cristos tonight. 2) Moderate to heavy, wind-driven snow expected across the San Juans and the central mountains. 3) Another round of critical fire weather and damaging high winds expected on our plains for tomorrow. Currently.. A weak frontal boundary passed through early this morning, bringing slightly higher dewpoints and southeasterly winds to portions of our plains, which have stuck around a bit longer than expected in some areas. Many of our mountain adjacent locations have mixed out, and are seeing strong southwesterly winds as of 3pm. At this time, Trinidad is already seeing 45 mph due westerly gusts. Expecting westerlies and southwesterlies to spread across the plains over the next hour or two, which could lead to some visibility restrictions with blowing dust. Blowing dust has been ongoing across the San Luis Valley, where 65 mph winds and blowing dust with visibilities down below a mile are already being recorded on satellite imagery, area webcams, and asos observations. Dust Storm Warnings and Advisories are in place over portions of the valley until 7pm this evening. Rest of Tonight.. As the trough axis approaches, our flow continues to become more and more southwesterly. This pattern will bring moderate to heavy at times snowfall to the Continental Divide. Winter Weather Advisories are in place for the Sawatch Range and the San Juans, where wind driven snow and accumulations up to around 8-12 inches are expected. Blowing snow could lead to dangerous travel conditions and degraded visibilities, especially through mountain passes. Heaviest snowfall rates look to come in through the overnight and early morning hours of tomorrow, though light to moderate snow continues throughout the day. As the pressure gradient tightens overhead and the jet approaches, damaging winds are expected to continue through the overnight hours across the San Juans and the Sangres, where High Wind Warnings are in place until tomorrow morning. Overnight lows will likely stay warmer than normal on our plains, with many locations only falling into the 40s. Tomorrow.. The jet axis moves overhead by around 6am tomorrow morning, allowing damaging winds and dry air to spread across our lower elevations. A High Wind Warning has been issued for lower elevations of Huerfano, Las Animas and Baca counties, where winds are expected to gust up to 60 mph. Another tier of counties has the potential to see damaging winds tomorrow as well, mainly through Prowers, Bent, Otero, and southern Pueblo counties, though certainty is low to medium for these areas at this time. High res models continue to back a cold front across our plains tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow evening, which would effectively cut off the potential for high winds for areas along and north of highway 50 depending on what time the front makes its way through. Current HRRR solutions bring the front into the highway 50 corridor by around 4-5pm tomorrow afternoon. If the front looks to come through any slower than this, these counties will likely need to be added to our wind highlights. Precip chances spread into Teller County and Northern El Paso County tomorrow afternoon as well, though accumulations look to be very light early in the event. Regardless of the front, critical fire weather conditions are expected across our plains for tomorrow. With early mixing and continued gusty southwesterly winds, relative humidity values look to fall into the teens and single digits as early as 8am in some locations. This will allow for several hours of critical fire weather conditions across our plains before the front arrives. With increasing cloud cover and the cold front pushing through northern portions of the forecast area early in the afternoon, daytime highs are likely going to be much cooler tomorrow, with many locations not making it into the 60s on our plains. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Monday) Issued at 331 PM MDT Mon Apr 3 2023 Key Messages: 1) Cooler with precipitation chances over and near the higher terrain Tuesday night and Wednesday. 2) Warming and drying trend expected into the weekend. Tuesday night-Wednesday night...A broad upper trough continues to lift out across the Rockies Tuesday night, with its associated frontal boundary pushing south and west across the southeast Plains Tuesday evening. Models continue to indicate enough moisture and lift along and behind the front to support scattered rain and snow showers across southeast Colorado through the evening, with the best snow accumulation potential of a couple of inches across the Pikes Peak/Palmer Dvd region, as well as the Wet Mts and southern Sangre de Cristo Mts into the southern I-25 Corridor, with breezy north to northeast winds behind the front. Light snow accumulations can also be expected across the central Mts Tuesday night, as developing northwest flow aloft helps to wring out available moisture. Precipitation winds down late Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, with another weak disturbance within the northwest flow remains progged to translate across northern Colorado. Increasing moisture and uvv associated with this wave, combined with low level east to southeast low level flow, will allow for another round of scattered showers to develop Wednesday afternoon and evening, especially across the central Mts and into the Pikes Peak region, where another inch or 2 of snow could be possible. Temperatures through this period to remain below seasonal levels, with lows in the teens across the lower elevations and in single digits above and below zero across the highest terrain, and highs Wednesday mainly in the 40s across the plains and in the 20s and 30s across the higher terrain. Thursday-Friday...Moderating westerly flow aloft remains progged across the region through the end of the work week, with temperatures warming back to above normal temperatures into 60s and 70s by Friday. There may still be enough breezes in the afternoon to support near critical fire weather conditions across portions of the I-25 Corridor on Thursday, and possibly across portions of the far southeast Plains on Friday, with breezy southerly winds east of lee troughing across the I-25 Corridor. Saturday-Monday...Upper level ridging remains progged to build across the Great Basin and into the Rockies into early next week, leading to a continued warming and drying trend, along with less wind and lower threats of critical fire weather conditions. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Tuesday evening) Issued at 331 PM MDT Mon Apr 3 2023 For KCOS and KPUB..VFR conditions are expected at both terminals for the next 24 hours. Southwesterly wind gusts up to 45kt continue to be possible through max heating this afternoon.

Mid-level cloud decks are expected to move in late in the period, with snow showers possible in the vicinity of KCOS tomorrow morning, especially north and west of the terminal. Blowing dust with MVFR visibility will also be possible at KPUB both afternoons, but have left mention out of the TAF for now as confidence is low. For KALS..IFR conditions in blowing dust are expected to continue until around 01Z this evening, with periods of LIFR possible from 21Z to 00Z this evening as well. Conditions are expected to improve to VFR quickly once the dust settles, which should happen between around 2Z to 4Z tonight at the latest.
