Updated the forecast as the Fire Weather Watch for tomorrow has
been upgraded to a RED FLAG WARNING. Also added BENT and BACA
county into the warning for tomorrow. \/Hodanish

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Issued at 502 AM MST Sat Feb 24 2024

Generally quiet across the area this forecast period, with dry
weather and well above normal temperatures well into the 50s and 60s
expected across much of southern Colorado today. The ongoing deep
westerlies are anticipated to persist and even strengthen during the
day today, with substantial warming supporting these higher temps.
Would not be surprised to see some 70 degree temps over the far
eastern plains. With this westerly flow and deep mixing, will see
dewpoints really fall today and especially this afternoon. Did lower
dewpoints today, with widespread single digit dew points likely over
much of the area. This will support widespread critical RH values,
with values falling to just below 10 percent for most locations. The
strongest winds today will generally stay confined to the higher
terrain and just lee of the mountains for a time this afternoon.
This will produce mainly spotty critical fire weather conditions for
the southeast mountains and I-25 corridor. Do think critical fire
weather conditions will be more prevalent across Huerfano, and so
have issued a Red Flag Warning for today.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Issued at 502 AM MST Sat Feb 24 2024

Sunday-Tuesday...Westerly flow remains progged to increase across the region
Sunday and Monday, as a strong southern stream jet stream translates out
ahead of a northern stream system digging across the Pacific Northwest and
Intermountain West through the day Monday. Slowly increasing moisture ahead
of this system will lead to light snow developing across the higher terrain
along and west of the Continental Divide late Sunday night. Flow aloft
becomes more southwest later Monday and Tuesday, ahead of the much colder
weather system which remains progged to translate across the Rockies on
Tuesday. This will continue to spread good moisture and snowfall into the
higher terrain of the Continental Divide through this period. This, combined
with the windy conditions, will lead to hazardous travel across the higher
terrain of the ContDvd through the period, and will likely see winter weather
highlights being issued across the Continental Divide for this period.

Breezy westerly winds of 20 to 40 mph over the higher terrain looks to
spread further east through the day Sunday, which will help boost temperatures
to well above seasonal levels in the mid 60s to mid 70s across the plains,
with highs in 40s and 50s continuing across the higher terrain. With dry air
in place, expecting critical fire weather conditions across the I-25 Corridor
into western portions of the southeast Plains Sunday afternoon. The current
Fire Weather Watch across the I-25 Corridor into Crowley and Otero counties
still looks good, however, have added Northern El Paso county (FW Zone 226)
into the watch.

Latest NBM data remains very bullish on strong westerly winds developing across
the region Monday which continues through the day Tuesday. With progged H7
winds of 40-60kts and good mixing, could see winds of 50 to 70 mph across
across the region on Monday and Monday night, though it remains too early for
any potential high wind highlights. The westerly downslope will again help
boost temperatures into the 60s and 70s across the plains on Monday, and will
likely lead to critical fire weather conditions once again across the plains.

Latest models are indicating some differences in the timing of the system and
its associated strong cold front moving across the Rockies, leading to
differences in temperatures and winds across southeast Colorado on Tuesday.
The latest EC solution is the fastest with the strong cold front pushing
across the southeast Plains Tuesday morning, as compared to Tuesday afternoon
with the GFS and Canadian solutions. This will have impacts on wind direction
and strength on Tuesday, as well as temperatures and precipitation across
southeast Colorado. Either way, the passing system and cold front will bring
a quick shot of rain quickly changing to snow to the eastern mountains, with
some travel impacts possible Tuesday and Tuesday night, as much colder air and
gusty northerly winds filter into the region.

Wednesday-Friday...There could still be some precipitation ongoing across
the southeast mtns and plains early Wednesday, depending on the timing of
the passing system. Otherwise, warmer, drier and less windy weather will be
in the offing through the end of the work week, as upper level ridging builds
back across the Rockies.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 1031 AM MST Sat Feb 24 2024

VFR conditions are near certain during the next 24 hours at all
3 taf sites, KCOS, KPUB and KALS.

Although VFR conditions are near certain. wind direction may be
an issue at KCOS and KPUB as high res guidance shows quite a
bit of variability in direction at these two taf sites. For now
leaned more towards climo, although winds may get gusty from the
NW later this afternoon at KCOS. and may get gusty from the
west at KPUB later today.

Spotty critical fire weather conditions are expected this afternoon
across portions of the southeast mountains and I-25 corridor. More
widespread critical fire weather conditions are likely over Huerfano

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday

Increasing westerly flow across the Rockies will bring unseasonably
warm and breezy conditions to south central and southeast Colorado
on Sunday, along with critical fire weather conditions to portions
of the southeast Plains. Increasing moisture within the increasing
westerly flow will bring snow chances back to areas along and
west of the Continental Divide later Sunday and Monday, with gusty
westerly winds of 40 to 60 mph bringing another round of critical
fire weather conditions across the southeast Plains on Monday.

Increasing southwest winds ahead of a stronger and colder weather
system will bring good moisture and snowfall to areas along and
west of the Continental Divide Monday night and Tuesday, with
gusty downslope winds keeping southeast Colorado windy and dry,
with another round of critical fire weather conditions possible on
Tuesday. This passing system will bring a quick shot of snow to
the eastern mountains and plains Tuesday and Tuesday night, along
