The local office's own words before this winter storm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Pueblo, CO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this winter storm warning went out at Feb 12, 10:45 PM MST, 4 hours 15 minutes earlier. Its key messages:

  • Snow showers over and near the eastern mtns this evening with clearing skies and very cold overnight temperatures.
  • Slow warming on Thursday, with spotty critical fire weather conditions across the San Luis Valley.
  • Impactful snow for the higher elevations (especially the San Juans) Thursday night through Saturday morning.
  • Gusty winds possible Friday afternoon mainly for the higher elevations and far southeast mountains.
  • Another impactful event possible early to mid next week.

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Snow showers over and near the eastern mtns this evening with
  clearing skies and very cold overnight temperatures.

- Slow warming on Thursday, with spotty critical fire weather
  conditions across the San Luis Valley.

- Impactful snow for the higher elevations (especially the San
  Juans) Thursday night through Saturday morning.

- Gusty winds possible Friday afternoon mainly for the higher
  elevations and far southeast mountains.

- Another impactful event possible early to mid next week.

.UPDATE...
Issued at 556 PM MST Wed Feb 12 2025

Quick update to add zone 58 (Eastern Lake County) to Winter
Storm Watch. Also made some minor adjustments to temps/winds for
this evening. Still some flurries around so left some small pops
in place for a few areas, though any accumulations will be minor
at best.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Issued at 301 PM MST Wed Feb 12 2025

Current water vapor imagery and upper air analysis has moderate
west to northwest flow in place across the Rockies, with another
embedded short wave translating through the flow across the Northern
Rockies at this time. In response, starting to see a few echoes
across the northern and central mtns this afternoon, with low level
upslope helping to develop clouds and a few flurries along the
lower eastern slopes, especially in the Pikes Peak region.

For tonight and Thursday...Upper trough pushes east with moderate
and dry northwest flow developing through early Thursday morning.
Latest high res guidance supports light snow continuing across
the central mtns, with local accumulations up to an inch expected
across the higher terrain north of Cottonwood Pass. Weak uvv and
continued upslope flow will keep the chances of light snow/flurries
over and near the eastern mtns, with the higher res models backing
off banded snowfall, though the namnest still indicates the
potential for a narrow band across the Wet mtns through southern
Pueblo county early this evening, and have kept low end scattered
pops to match. With that said, not expecting much in the way of
accumulations across these areas, and with decreasing clouds through
the overnight hours, will see temperatures fall below zero across
much of the area. While winds are expected to remain generally light
across the lower elevations, the very cold ambient temperatures and
light winds will still produce wind chills in the -10F to -20F
through early Thursday morning across the plains. With that said,
have kept the Cold Weather Advisory in place for much of the plains
through 8 am, and have added Pueblo county to the this advisory.

It will be a battle of the airmasses tomorrow, with latest higher
res models indicating areas north and east of the Highway 50
Corridor, staying in the chilly air with light upslope flow keeping
temps in the 30s, where as areas south and west will warm back into
the 30s and 40s, warmest across the San Luis Valley and southern I-
25 Corridor. Westerly winds across the higher terrain will bring
spotty critical fire weather conditions to southern portions of the
San Luis Valley.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Issued at 301 PM MST Wed Feb 12 2025

Friday through Saturday...

Our next wave begins to approach by Friday, which will lead to
orographically enhanced snow showers over the higher elevations on
Friday. Models continue to show the cold front with this next system
coming through the plains Friday night. Current forecasted snowfall
amounts look to range from around 6 to 10 inches over our eastern
mountains and La Garitas, to over a foot for western portions of the
central mountains, to over 2 feet for our San Juans. As for
temperatures, they remain somewhat warm and uncertain on the plains.
This could lead to rain and mixed precipitation chances late Friday
into Saturday. At this time, best chances for snow with this event
look to remain over and near the mountains. Temperatures will be
above normal on Friday, with highs in the 50s for mountain valleys,
and 50s to 60s on the plains. On Saturday, temperatures look to
plummet quite a bit, dropping 10 to 20 degrees in some parts, due to
the exiting system. It is also important to note that Friday evening
into Saturday, there will be gusty winds mainly in the higher
elevations and the far southeast plains. Currently, we are
forecasting gusts around 60kts possible across the higher
elevations, and 40kts possible across the far southeast plains. This
could certainly lead to blowing snow conditions and make travel
hazardous.

Monday night onward...

Monday looks to mainly be dry with the possibility of more snow
showers in the late evening to overnight hours, due to another
upper- level wave moving through. This system is still far out,
so the finer details will still have to be determined as we get
closer. Overall, it looks to be quite active over the long-term
period, and as always make sure to stay tuned for weather
updates.

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY/...
Issued at 1037 PM MST Wed Feb 12 2025

KALS: VFR expected through 24 hours. Gusty west winds will weaken
overnight as clouds decrease. Winds will increase slightly and mid-
level clouds will return towards the end of this forecast period.

KCOS: Intermittent low clouds expected into tonight, with southeast
winds under 10 knots. MVFR to high-end IFR conditions expected under
low clouds. Some data shows the potential for some southwest winds
aloft, but as of now data keeps this shift above 4-5kft, too high to
mention LLWS in the TAF. Will monitor for changes. Conditions
improve late tonight into early tomorrow, with breezy southeast
winds and mid-level clouds. Cloud cover will increase tomorrow
evening.

KPUB: Intermittent low clouds possible until around 10z, but
will keep taf VFR for now and monitor for any increased areas of
low visibility the next few hours. Otherwise, winds turn
southeast tomorrow, with clear clouds through tomorrow evening,
where winds begin to shift to southwesterly.
