AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO 406 AM MDT SUN APR 8 2007 .SHORT TERM... (TODAY AND TONIGHT) ...LIGHT SNOW TODAY OVER PARTS OF THE PLAINS WITH SOME HEAVIER SNOW OVER THE SW MTNS... CURRENTLY OVER THE REGION...A FEW SNOWBANDS EXTENDING NW-SE OVER THE SE CO PLAINS. LIGHT SNOW IS CURRENTLY FALLING OUTSIDE HERE IN PUEBLO. REGIONAL RADARS INDICATE QUITE A FEW SNOW SHOWERS OVER THE W PART OF THE STATE...AND THESE CONTINUE TO MOVE TO THE ESE IN THE NW FLOW ALOFT. THESE SHOWERS BEING ENHANCED BY A SHORTWAVE THAT IS LOCATED OVER THE SALT LAKE CITY UTAH AREA ATTM. THIS FEATURE IS MOVING E-SE. QUITE A BIT OF CG ACTIVITY FOR THIS TIME OF DAY IS ALSO NOTED WITH THIS SYSTEM. NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED OVER THE SURFACE DURING THE LAST DAY OR TWO...AS THE COLD CANADIAN AIR IS PRETTY MUCH BANKED UP TO THE EAST OF THE CONTDVD. E OF THE DVD TEMPS ARE IN THE 20S AND 30S...W OF THE DVD TEMPS IN THE 40S AND 50S. TODAY...SHORT WAVE WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE ESE. THIS WILL HELP ENHANCE PRECIP OVER THE REGION TODAY. LIKEWISE...HAVE INCREASED POPS OVER MOST OF THE REGION. BEST CHANCE OF SNOW WILL BE OVER W AND S PARTS OF THE CWA WHERE WEAK QG LIFT FROM THE SHORTWAVE...ALONG WITH 700 MB FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING (AND A SATURATED ATMOS) IS BEST. OVER THE MTNS...THE SW MTNS SHOULD SEE THE MOST SNOW WITH 4-8 OF SNOW OVER THE SW MTNS BETWEEN NOW AND THIS EVENING. AFTER COLLABORATING WITH GJT WX...HAVE ISSUED A SNOW ADVISORY ABOVE 10KFT FOR THE SW MTNS. OVER THE REMAINDER OF THE MTNS...LIKELY TO SEE 2 TO LOCALLY 6 WILL BE POSSIBLE. OVER THE PLAINS...I DREW IN GENERAL AREAS OF 1-3 OF SNOW. MOST OF THIS WILL ACCUMULATE ON GRASSY AREAS...ALTHOUGH SOME BRIDGES AND HIER ELEV AREAS WILL BECOME SLICK DUE TO THE SNOW. SKIES SHOULD REMAIN OVC OVER THE PLAINS TODAY WITH BKN-OVC CONDITIONS OVER THE HIER TRRN. TONIGHT...SOME LIGHT SNOW WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE REGION...ESPECIALLY OVER THE SW SECTIONS OF THE CWA. AS FOR CLOUDS...EXPECT CLOUDS TO DIMINISH A BIT OVER THE NE SXNS OF THE PLAINS TONIGHT...BUT THE REMAINDER OF THE PLAINS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE EITHER BKN OR OVC DUE TO THE WEAK FLOW OVER THE PLAINS. SHOULD SEE TEMPS AOA 30F FOR LOWS. /HODANISH .LONG TERM... ...MAJOR STORM POSSIBLE FOR END OF THE WEEK... A BIT WARMER MON AS FLOW ALOFT BEGINS TO BACK AND A WEAK LEE TROUGH BUILDS EAST OF THE MTS. WILL BE QUITE A WELCOME RELIEF FROM THIS WEEKEND AS TEMPS AGAIN RISE TO NEAR 70 DEG OVR THE PLAINS. NEXT WAVE ARRIVES FROM THE NW MON NIGHT INTO TUE. MAIN AFFECT FROM THIS SYSTEM WILL BE BREEZY TO POSSIBLY WINDY CONDITIONS OVER MUCH OF THE AREA TUE AFTERNOON. HAVE CUT BACK ON POPS THROUGH TUE MORNING OVER THE I-25 CORRIDOR AS DOWNSLOPING KEEPS THING ON THE DRY SIDE. WAVE AMPLIFIES OVER WRN KANSAS ON TUE...BUT MAY BE TOO FAR EAST TO REALLY AFFECT SERN CO. SFCE LOW MOVES RAPIDLY FROM SERN CO INTO THE TX PANHANDLE BY TUE EVE...AND FRONTAL FORCING LOOKS TO BE MAINLY OVER THE FAR ERN PLAINS. HAVE BOOSTED DEWPTS A BIT NEAR THE KS BORDER TUE AFTERNOON THRU EVE AS THE LOW INTENSIFIES AND NE FLOW BEHIND THE LOW PULLS IN SOME MOISTURE FROM THE E. WILL HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON THIS FEATURE FOR A LOW THREAT OF STORMS OVR THE FAR ERN COUNTIES. WITH DEWS AROUND 40 DEGREES...WOULD SEE LIS IN THE -2 TO -4 RANGE NEAR THE KS BORDER. HAVE ADDED ISOLD MENTION OF TS FOR BACA AND PROWERS FOR THIS PERIOD. SHORTWAVE MOVES QUICKLY TO THE E AND LEAVES US WITH A SHORTWAVE RIDGE FOR WED...THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM. MUCH EXCITEMENT AMONG WX ENTHUSIASTS OVR THE POTENTIAL FOR A SIGNIFICANT WX EVENT BEGINNING LATE WED AND LASTING TO THE WEEKEND. A VERY STRONG JET OVER THE EAST PACIFIC AND A DEEP ALEUTIAN LOW BEGIN TO BREAK DOWN EARLY IN THE WEEK AND MOVE INTO THE PAC NW AS A RIDGE BUILDS OVR THE ERN PAC. THIS 130 KT+ JET THEN TAKES A DIVE OVER THE CA COAST AND COLD AIR FOLLOWS OVR THE GRT BASIN BY WED NIGHT. DEEP SWRLY FLOW BEGINS TO IMPACT THE CONT DVD LATE WED EVE...WITH H7 WINDS IN THE 40-50 KT RANGE. COULD SEE SOME VERY SNOWFALL OVER THE SAN JUANS BY THE END OF THE WEEK...PERHAPS MEASURED IN FEET. THE UPPER LOW THEN MOVES OVER THE 4 CORNERS ON THU...AND ON TO KS BY FRI. MOST IMPRESSIVE FEATURE OF NOTE IS THE STRONG H7 WINDS DEVELOPING ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE LOW...WHICH HAVE BEEN FAIRLY CONSISTENT IN TIMING AND LOCATION OVER THE LAST FEW MODEL RUNS. 00Z GFS WAS MOST EXTREME...WITH H7 WINDS OF 50-60 KTS DRIVING A WEDGE OF MINUS 14 DEG AIR OVER THE SRN FRONT RANGE FRI MORNING. IT IS MUCH TOO EARLY TO HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THESE MESOSCALE DETAILS...BUT THEY ARE CERTAINLY A POSSIBILITY GIVEN THE OVERALL STRENGTH OF THE SYSTEM. ANOTHER RIDGE BUILDS BEHIND THIS DEPARTING STORM NEXT WEEKEND...BUT APRIL CONTINUES TO LOOK LIKE A VERY ACTIVE WX MONTH FOR SERN CO. LONG TERM PROGS SHOW THE POTENTIAL FOR EVEN MORE COLD STORMS BEYOND NEXT WEEKEND. ROSE && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... SNOW ADVISORY UNTIL MIDNIGHT MDT TONIGHT FOR COZ066-068. && 34/44
