.SHORT TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
Issued at 251 PM MDT Mon Mar 17 2025
Upper level cirrus across the Rockies is ongoing which has tempered
winds overall some allowing for not consistent mixing of winds down
to the surface to occur. The Red Flag Warning for portions of
the area remains where more consistent wind gusts of 25-30 mph
are occurring. As mentioned in the update, winds across Yuma
county were a little more marginal but due to the potential for
wind gusts of 30- 40 mph if full mixing did occur would lead to
the fire weather potential for which the warning was issued for.
Typically, I would not have issued given what the low level
winds looked like, but given the potential for breezy to gusty
winds if the fully mixing would have panned out would have lead
to the potential for quickly spreading fires. Overnight winds
are forecast to remain mainly southerly helping keep
temperatures above the mid 30s for lows across the entire area.
Tuesday, will be the start of a potential high impact, multi hazard
day. A developing surface low across eastern Colorado will
essentially remain in place throughout the day leading to a
continued fetch of southwesterly winds promoting warmer and dry
conditions for much of the area. A developing 850mb jet through the
afternoon will lead to wind gusts up to 50 mph and perhaps even
stronger if winds are able to tap into the 700mb flow, which was
seen via the 12Z run of the HRRR. A wind shift to the NW is also
forecast during the late afternoon and into the evening hours. All
of this combined will lead to a concerning fire weather setup along
with the extreme grassland fire danger for areas along and south of
Interstate 70. Perhaps the only thing keeping the fire day from
being any worse is that the ERC (Energy Release Component) is
in the 50th to 70th percentile with the higher amounts across
Cheyenne, Greeley, Wichita an Wallace counties. Any fire that
develops will burn furiously. There is also the potential for
blowing along and south of Interstate 70. There is concern for
plumes of dust originating from southeast Colorado and may be
advected into the area with the favored area being Cheyenne
(CO), Wallace, Greeley and Wichita counties. However confidence
is low in how long the dust can remain "capped" due to higher
2.2.5 lapse rates being around 8 C/KM which would allow dust to
diffuse into the air, which would lead to more of an air quality
issue. There is the potential should any dust develop for
localized brownout conditions especially next to open fields or
any other source regions.
Tuesday night, the cold front is currently forecast to move into the
area around 6-8pm MT. Cold fronts do occasionally have the
tendency to move quicker than guidance suggests so will need to
keep a close eye on that. If that does occur then the potential
for a haboob will increase. At this time am thinking this is
around a 10% chance. Behind the front winds are forecast to
increase rapidly as both GFS and NAM both show 11-15mb pressure
rises along with a very quickly developing and strong wind
field. GFS is the most aggressive with wind gusts of 50-55
knots near the surface and winds around 70 knots around the
775-725mb range. Have issued a High Wind Watch for the entire
area due to this, currently messaging 65 mph wind gusts. If the
GFS is correct wind gusts exceeding 70 mph is possible.
Typically a overnight high wind event does struggle to pan out
but do think the pressure rises will be enough to overcome this.
precipitation is also forecasted to increase behind the front
as well with rain initially before changing over to all snow
through the night as cold air advection increases. The
combination of the wind and the snow is forecast to lead to near
blizzard to blizzard conditions for most of the area. The Watch
area remains the same but have added Hitchcock county into the
watch as well. I am continuing to watch the potential for
convective snow across the east, as the RAP and NAM both show
around 200 j/kg of MUCAPE roughly along and east of Highway 83.
Current forecast is around 1-3 inches across the area, but at
this time currently have low confidence due to the the warm
surface temperatures, if the rain will melt the snow, have
precip type issues and if the convective band will occur or not.
At this time am thinking the most likely, definition of a
blizzard conditions will occur across the east due to the better
potential for accumulating snow and the potential for
additional re-lofting of snow. The combination of the strong
winds and snow will also add additional stress to trees and
power lines may lead to power outage issues. The snow is
forecast to end west to east through the morning hours before
being completely out of the area by the early afternoon hours
but the wind is forecast to continue however.

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Issued at 251 PM MDT Mon Mar 17 2025
Thursday, mid level ridging moves across the area. Breezy southwest
winds are forecast to continue as a surface trough moves across the
area. Another day of critical fire weather conditions does remain
possible for southern and western portions of the area at this
time.
Friday, is forecast to see another quickly developing surface low
develop on top of the area. Increasing wind fields through the day
is forecast to lead to another day of gusty winds potentially
approaching 55 mph. Some very subtle moisture advection looks
to occur across the area which may lead to some rain and snow
chances currently favored along and north of Interstate 70 at
this time.
The active pattern is then forecast to continue as yet another low
pressure system and cold front move across the area. At this time,
it is to soon to identify the exact details and where of potential
hazards. This one does seem to have a little more moisture ahead of
the front so may need to keep an eye on thunderstorm potential.
The current forecast temperatures are currently forecast to be a
little more seasonable with highs in the 50s and 60s currently for
the entire area. A potential more tranquil pattern may emerge next
week with signals of a ridge developing.
