Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Pueblo CO
1117 PM MDT Sat Mar 29 2025

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Showers and thunderstorms (most numerous north of Highway50)
  continue this evening, gradually fading away after midnight.

- Another round of scattered showers (maybe a thunderstorm?)
  Sunday afternoon.

- High winds likely across the region Tuesday, with gusts in
  excess of 60 mph possible. Prepare now for hazardous travel
  conditions due to blowing dust Tuesday morning and afternoon.

- Periods of snow will continue along the Continental Divide
  through much of the extended forecast.

&&

.UPDATE...
Issued at 802 PM MDT Sat Mar 29 2025

Updated the fcst database to remove the Red Flag warning which
was in effect for parts of the region earlier this
afternoon/evening.

Disturbance pushing over the region at this time bringing a
variety of weather to the Pikes Peak region as I write,
including small hail, lightning, snow and some localized heavy
rain. Spring-time in Colorado! \/Hodanish

&&

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Issued at 239 PM MDT Sat Mar 29 2025

Upper wave lifting northeastward into the 4 corners at midday,
with gradually strengthening upward motion beginning to generate
showers and thunderstorms across the region. Activity was most
numerous along and north of a weak frontal boundary stretching
from near Pueblo eastward to near Springfield, where surface
dewpoints have held in the 30s and CAPE has risen into the
200-500 J/KG range. South of the boundary, westerly surface
winds were strengthening and RH falling, with observations at a
few locations (K4V1 and KALS) getting close to Red Flag
criteria. For this evening and overnight, shower coverage will
expand over the mountains and northern portions of the plains,
mainly along and north of Highway 50, and a brief thunderstorm
with small hail will be possible as well, especially along/near
the Palmer Divide. Heaviest rainfall will be over
northern/eastern El Paso County, where some quarter to half inch
amounts are possible. Over the mountains, some localized snow
accumulations of 2 to 4 inches are possible, mainly over the
higher peaks above 9k feet. We could mix briefly with snow down
to 6k feet or so under heavier showers, though accums this low
will be limited. Precip fades after midnight as wave lifts out,
and expect most rain/snow to be out of the area by sunrise.

On Sunday, mostly dry through the morning into the early
afternoon between weather systems, before showers redevelop mid-
late day as weak energy begins to slide back eastward into CO.
Daytime precip amounts look light as instability is rather
meager and forcing weak, with greatest coverage over the
mountains/Palmer Divide. Max temps all areas will be cooler in
the wake of the upper trough passage, and subsequent increase in
RH will keep fire danger low for a change.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Issued at 239 PM MDT Sat Mar 29 2025

Sunday Night through Monday: Light snow over the Palmer Divide
Sunday night into Monday, will likely come to an end by the
early morning. Any precipitation across the plains overnight
into the morning hours will likely remain rain considering
temperatures will be in the mid 30's. Snow accumulations along
the Palmer Divide will be minor with an inch possible on
elevated surfaces.

The main concern for Monday will be elevated fire weather
conditions during the afternoon hours for the San Luis Valley
and southern I-25 corridor. Winds will increase through the
afternoon potentially reaching 35-40kts for the San Luis Valley
and between 25-30kts for the southern I-25 corridor. The gusty
westerly winds will help lower humidity values to values between
10-15%. As for temperatures, we will see upper 50's to low 60's
for the San Luis Valley, and upper 60's to low 70's across the
plains. The higher elevations will see values in the 20's to low
30's.

Tuesday: Main concern for Tuesday will be very strong winds and
dangerous fire weather conditions. Winds will begin to increase
late Monday night into Tuesday morning across the higher
elevations. Gusts could reach 60+ kts across the San Luis Valley
and 40 to 50kts across the plains. These strong gusts could
lead to blowing dust, which would create poor travel conditions
due to poor visibility. There will also be some snow showers
across the central mountains and higher elevations (San
Juans/Sangres). Accumulations range from a dusting over the
Sangres to an inch or two over the San Juans. As for
temperatures, values will reach the upper 60's to mid 70's
across the plains, while the mountain valleys will see low to
mid 50's.

Wednesday through Friday: There continues to be precipitation
chances through this period. The central mountains looks to be
the main location for precip, and then Friday into Saturday
precipitation becomes more widespread. The GFS solution brings
widespread rain and snow to the region, Friday into Saturday
whereas the Canadian seems to be drier than the others. There is
quite a bit of variability between the models, so sticking with
the NBM in terms of POPs. Continue to monitor the forecast for
updates throughout the week.

This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of central...east
central...south central and southeast Colorado.

.DAY ONE...Tonight

A few rumbles of thunder are expected across the Pikes Peak
Region and the eastern plains this evening until around 10 PM. The
main threat from any thunderstorms will be cloud to ground
lightning and brief periods of moderate to heavy rainfall.

Rain and snow showers will continue late tonight, bringing
accumulations of up to 3 inches of snow to the central mountains
and the higher elevations of Pikes Peak. Brief slushy
accumulations of up to an inch will be possible on grassy surfaces
of the Palmer Divide, with precipitation falling as rain across
the remainder of the southeast plains, especially north of highway
50.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday

High elevation snow and lower elevation rainfall is possible
Sunday into Monday. Accumulations of 2 to 4 inches are forecast
along the Continental Divide, mainly north of Cottonwood Pass. A
dusting of snow is possible over the Palmer Divide Sunday night.

Elevated fire weather conditions are forecast on Monday for the
San Luis Valley and southern Interstate 25 corridor due to gusty
winds and low humidity values.

High winds are forecast to develop late Monday night and prevail
through Tuesday. Gusts in excess of 60 mph are possible. Areas of
blowing dust and strong cross winds on north-south highways are
possible. The strong winds will combine with low humidity values
to produce dangerous fire weather conditions across the Plains.

Periods of snow will continue through the end of the week over the
Mountains.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will
be possible over portions of the region.
