Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pueblo CO 1033 PM MST Fri Jan 17 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... - Initial front was pushing through with arctic front coming in this evening. - SNOW SQUALL Warning may be needed this evening/Flash Freeze possible - Widespread snow for the plains and some of the higher terrain. - Very cold air will move into the region starting tonight and last into Tuesday, with coldest temps Tuesday morning. - Some light snow possible Monday, with a stronger system Thursday && .SHORT TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... Issued at 201 PM MST Fri Jan 17 2025 Currently... Wind shift was pushing across the region. This is the leading edge of the arctic front which was moving towards the region. The actual arctic air was just crossing the CO/WY line and will mot arrive into our region until late this afternoon or early evening. Temps across the region were in the 50s at 1 pm with northeast winds dropping south across the plains. Skies were pretty much clear across a large majority of the plains, with the low clouds associated with the arctic air still up along the CO/WY line. Some wave clouds were noted along the front range mtns. The nearest radar Next 24 hours... Cold air should start to push across the Palmer Divide late this afternoon and especially this evening. It WILL snow this evening, and guidance shows some fairly stout snow bands developing and pushing south across EL Paso and Pueblo counties during the 02-06Z time frame. Temps have warmed up and pavement is warm, so a FLASH FREEZE is likely on area roadways and we may see some snow bands that may require SNOW SQUALL Warnings this evening over the region. Snow will gradually push south tonight and we should see snow across along the I-25 corridor late tonight into tomorrow morning. Temps tomorrow will be cold and I do not thing anyone will get above freezing tomorrow. The warmest air tomorrow will be over the San Luis Valley. Max temps tomorrow will only reach in the 15 to 20F range across all of the plains, with upper 20s in the SLV. Winds tonight and tomorrow will be relatively light, but wind chill values will nonetheless be in the 5 to 15F range tonight and the single digits tomorrow. (NOTE - Cold weather advisories/warnings dont get issued until apparent temps reach -18F or colder). Snow will likely continue along the greater I-25 corridor region through late tomorrow afternoon. \/Hodanish && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... Issued at 201 PM MST Fri Jan 17 2025 Saturday night will see widespread min temperatures below zero F across the region, Temps over the plains will generally be in the zero to negative 5 range with negative 5 to negative 20 over the valleys and mountains. Winds over the plains will be light so wind chill values will be similar to ambient temps, however the mountains will be windier and wind chill values across this region will be in the -25F to -40F range. We may need cold weather highlights for the mountains Saturday night. The cold air will remain over the region until Tuesday. Temperatures during the day on Sunday will be 2 to 3 degrees cooler than Saturdays max temps, so anticipate ambient max temps in the L20s to mid teens Sunday. Besides some snow showers i the mountains, it should be dry (but very cold) on Sunday. Sunday night the 2ndry surge of arctic air will move across, and another round of light snow will be possible. If we cloud up with this 2ndry system, it may tend to keep the min temps up SUnday night across the area and temps may be a few degrees warmer than Saturday night low temps. Nonetheless, it will be cold with temps around 0F plains and negative single digits mtns/valleys. Light snow is likely across most of the region Monday, especially during the first part of the day. Attm, snow fall amounts don't appear to be that significant, with 1 to 2 inches possible. The coldest air of this event is likely to be over the region Monday night/Tuesday morning, and this is the time period where we will likely see the coldest temps. Expect all areas to be below zero with 0 to negative 10 over the plains, and -5 to negative 25 over the mtns. Winds will be more of a concern and we will likely need COLD Temperature warnings for all of the region during this time period. wind chill values of -20 to -50 will be possible, with the coldest readings in the mtns. Tuesday we will warm up. How warm still needs to be determined, but with a lee trough developing we should see southwesterlies at the sfc and temps warming up significantly aloft. Another surge of arctic air will likely affect the region starting late Wednesday into Thursday, and then warming up Friday. This system looks relatively dry (but cold). \/Hodanish && .AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY/... Issued at 1024 PM MST Fri Jan 17 2025 Arctic front has pushed across the eastern plains this evening, bringing widespread light snow and much cooler temperatures to the forecast area. This has initially affected KCOS and KPUB with low clouds and reduced VSBY due to snow producing MVFR to IFR conditions, and will continue to do so through Saturday. Lower clouds and the chance for some snow finally makes it over the eastern mts and into the San Luis Valley, affecting KALS, tomorrow morning starting around 17z. KCOS and KPUB: MVFR to IFR conditions through 01z tomorrow, then VFR remainder of forecast period. Greatest VSBY restrictions will occur now until 19z tomorrow. KALS: VFR over the next 24 hrs, though intermittent MVFR conditions start at 17z tomorrow, then potential IFR conditions at 20z. && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
