Area forecast discussion, Feb 15, 2:45 PM MST, 20 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pueblo CO 245 PM MST Wed Feb 15 2023 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday) Issued at 244 PM MST Wed Feb 15 2023 Key Messages: 1) A Winter Storm is bringing light to moderate snow to most of the forecast area, as it continues to push east. 2) Colder temperatures and dangerous wind chills set in overnight tonight and into tomorrow morning, especially for northern El Paso county and the Palmer Divide. Currently.. As the surface low moves overhead, snow continues across most of the area. Heavy snow is finally beginning to diminish in the San Luis Valley, where visibility has improved to around 1SM as of 2pm. Easterly gap flow winds have continued to gust in this area as well, but have come down to around 35 mph as of 2pm. Snowfall rates have tapered somewhat across portions of the plains as well, especially for areas north of highway 50, as better forcing remains south. Rest of Tonight.. Light to moderate snow will likely continue for the next few hours across our southern plains, especially over the Raton Mesa, where 700mb frontogenesis is strongest. As the best forcing and warm air advection drift eastward with the baroclinic zone, light to moderate snowfall will likely continue across our far eastern border until around midnight. We are left in cold and breezy north-northeasterly flow behind the departing system, as it exits into Kansas through the overnight hours. Northerly winds are expected to gust up to 45 mph across the Palmer Divide tonight, which will lead to apparent temperatures in the teens below zero across most of El Paso county. A Wind Chill Advisory has been issued for the Palmer Divide from 7pm this evening until 8am tomorrow morning, where wind chills are expected to fall to -20F through the early morning hours of tomorrow. Elsewhere, temperatures bottom out in the low teens and single digits across the rest of the plains, with subzero temperatures expected for the high country. Sky conditions will clear from west to east, which could lead to some fog or low stratus for the San Luis Valley early tomorrow morning, especially given the amount of snow they have received today. Have decided to leave mention of fog out of tonight's forecast for now though, given that there will not be much time for melting this evening. Tomorrow.. We remain under strong northerly flow aloft for tomorrow, as a ridge builds in from our west. Winds and cloud cover continue to diminish through tomorrow morning as well, but temperatures remain around 10 to 15 degrees below normal for most. High are expected to stay in the low to mid 30s for our plains and low to mid 20s for our mountain valleys tomorrow afternoon. .LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Wednesday) Issued at 244 PM MST Wed Feb 15 2023 Key Messages: 1) Warming and drying trend into the weekend 2) Cooler with increases chances of mountain snows next week. .Thursday night through Saturday...Shortwave ridge builds into the region with drying and milder weather. Have concerns that snow cover on the plains may keep temperatures cooler than expected with the warming aloft. The NBM maximums for Friday look reasonable with highs on the plains cooler than what would be anticipated by the warming at 700mb. See no need to adjust maximums on Friday. Highs on Saturday will depend on amount of snow cover. They still look to be cooler than what would be expected from the warming aloft so will not edit the grids. Later shifts can adjust the maximums based on snow cover. .Saturday night and Sunday...First is a series of troughs moves into the region from the northwest. One concern will be the potential for stronger winds over and near the eastern mountains. The deterministic models have 700mb winds from the northwest around 40 knots late Saturday and into Sunday. NBM 50 percent probability for peak wind gusts Sunday are in the mid 30s knots to mid 40 knots range along the Interstate 25 corridor with the strongest winds near Walsenburg. The peak wind gusts in the grids are less because of the temporal averaging amount the various ensemble members. As the trough moves into the region, chances for snow increase over the Continental Divide region, mainly in Lake and Chaffee Counties. .Monday through Wednesday...The jet stream will shift south over the intermountain west with west to northwest flow aloft. Main influence on the weather will be to increase snowfall chances over the mountains with the highest accumulations over the Continental Divide region. Deterministic models and ensembles suggest one trough moving into the region around Tuesday with another stronger trough moving into the region sometime on Wednesday or later. Some ensemble members suggest snow is possible over the eastern mountains and plains with these troughs. Currently, any accumulations on the plains and eastern mountains look to be light but a few members have higher accumulations. --PGW-- && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Thursday evening) Issued at 244 PM MST Wed Feb 15 2023 At KCOS and KPUB..IFR ceilings and visibilities are expected to improve to MVFR by around 5pm this evening at the latest. Northerly winds will likely gust up to 30kt at both stations through the overnight hours which could lead to some areas of blowing snow. Expecting clearing sky conditions and continued northerly winds for most of tomorrow. At KALS..As of 22Z, snow has begun to diminish over station, with MVFR ceilings and unrestricted visibilities looking to persist through the rest of this evening. Clearing sky conditions and light northwesterly winds are expected for most of tomorrow. && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Winter Weather Advisory until 5 PM MST this afternoon for COZ058- 059.
