NWS Pueblo, CO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jan 31, 10:36 PM MST, 1 hour 24 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO 1036 PM MST SUN JAN 31 2016 .SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY) ISSUED AT 332 PM MST SUN JAN 31 2016 ...STILL SOME CHALLENGES WITH THE UPPER LOW TRACK...BUT WIDESPREAD SNOW STILL LOOKS ON TARGET FOR SOUTHERN CO TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY... UPPER TROF DIGGING ALONG THE WEST COAST HAS SPREAD OVERRUNNING PRECIPITATION/SNOWFALL ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS...VALLEYS AND I-25 CORRIDOR THIS AFTERNOON. AS THE UPPER LOW CLOSES OFF AND MOVES INTO SOUTHERN UT/NRN AZ LATER TONIGHT...QG ASCENT WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS. THEN SYSTEM TAKES ON A NEGATIVE TILT AND LIFTS TO THE NORTHEAST THROUGH NORTHERN NEW MEXICO INTO SOUTHEAST CO BY AFTERNOON. THERE ARE STILL DIFFERENCES IN THE MODEL SOLUTIONS WITH TRACK OF THE SYSTEM AS IT EJECTS ACROSS SOUTHEAST CO MONDAY AFTERNOON...WITH ECMWF CANADIAN AND NAM12 THE FARTHEST SOUTH...AND GFS THE FARTHEST NORTH. SO THERE IS STILL THE POTENTIAL FOR FURTHER SNOWFALL FORECAST CHANGES ACROSS SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS AS THESE DETAILS GET REFINED. AS FOR SENSIBLE WEATHER...SNOW IS ALREADY GOING ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS AND I-25 CORRIDOR. MOUNTAIN AREAS...PARTICULARLY ALONG THE CONTDVD WILL SEE AN UPSWING IN SNOWFALL TONIGHT AS THE UPPER LOW APPROACHES AND QG LIFT COMES OVERHEAD. SOUTHWEST MOUNTAINS SHOULD FAIR THE BEST WITH THE COMBINATION OF SOUTHWESTERLY OROGRAPHIC FLOW AND DYNAMICS. THIS AREA SHOULD SEE AN ADDITIONAL 2-3 FEET OF SNOW BY STORMS END. THE SOUTHEAST MOUNTAINS AND PLAINS WILL LIKELY SEE WAVES OF WAA/OVERRUNNING SNOW MOVE ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT BEFORE THE STEADIER AND HEAVIER SNOW SPREADS IN ON MONDAY AS THE SYSTEM WRAPS UP ACROSS SOUTHEAST CO. EXACTLY WHERE THIS SYSTEM WRAPS UP WILL MAKE OR BREAK THE CURRENT SNOWFALL FORECAST. FOR NOW...HAVE GONE WITH THE CONSENSUS BLEND WHICH PUTS STORM TOTALS IN THE 6 TO 12 INCH RANGE OVER MUCH OF THE PLAINS...EXCEPT BACA COUNTY WHERE IT WILL BE A RAIN/SNOW MIX FOR THE BEGINNING PORTION OF THE DAY MONDAY. IF THE SYSTEM WRAPS UP FARTHER NORTH...THEN LOWER SNOW TOTALS COULD OCCUR FOR THE WHOLE SOUTHERN TIER OF THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS...SO FORECAST IS STILL SOMEWHAT FLUID. HOWEVER GIVEN THE INTENSITY OF THE SYSTEM AS IT EJECTS INTO THE PLAINS...PAST HISTORY HAS SHOWN THAT THE WRAP AROUND SNOWFALL TENDS TO BE UNDERDONE ON THE NORTHERN SLOPES OF THE RATON RIDGE BY GFS...AND THINK THAT NORTHERLY UPSLOPE FLOW WILL COMPENSATE. THERE WILL BE A SNOWFALL MINIMUM SOUTH OF THE PALMER DIVIDE...BUT A PERIOD OF INTENSE LIFT...AND THE DURATION OF THE STORM SHOULD ALLOW THESE AREAS TO STILL ACHIEVE WARNING CRITERIA...THOUGH SNOWFALL AMOUNTS MAY COME UP ON THE LOWER SIDE OF WARNING NUMBERS. THE SOUTHEAST MOUNTAINS COULD SEE AROUND A FOOT OR MORE WITH PIKES PEAK FARING THE BEST. THE SOUTHERN SANGRE DE CRISTO MOUNTAINS ARE STILL A BIT OF A WILD CARD AS DEPENDING ON WHERE THE MID LEVEL CIRCULATION TRACKS...MID LEVEL FLOW COULD END UP STAYING TOO NORTHERLY TO PROVIDE ENHANCED LIFT FROM OROGRAPHICS THAT FAR SOUTH. AGAIN...MODELS DIFFER WITH THIS DETAIL...BUT WITH GFS THE OUTLIER WITH THE DRIER SOLN...WILL LEAN TOWARDS THE CONSENSUS FOR NOW. -KT .LONG TERM...(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY) ISSUED AT 332 PM MST SUN JAN 31 2016 ...HIGH IMPACT WINTER STORM CONTINUES THROUGH TUESDAY... MODELS SHOWING SOME DIFFERENCES ON TRACK OF THE CURRENT STORM SYSTEM...WITH THE EC AND CMC STILL KEEPING THE CLOSED LOW MOVING ACROSS NORTHERN NEW MEXICO INTO THE OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE MONDAY EVENING BEFORE LIFTING OUT ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS THROUGH THE DAY TUESDAY. THE NAM IS A JUST A TAD FURTHER NORTH WITH THE SYSTEM WHERE AS THE 12Z GFS IS STILL AN OUTLIER...BEING FASTER AND MUCH FURTHER NORTH WITH THE SYSTEM. CONTINUE TO STAY CLOSER TO MODEL CONSENSUS...WHICH KEEPS THE TROWAL AND AXIS OF HEAVY SNOW ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS MONDAY EVENING WITH GUSTY NORTH WINDS DEVELOPING MONDAY NIGHT AND THROUGH THE DAY TUESDAY...AS WRAP AROUND PRECIPITATION LIFTS NORTH AND EAST INTO WESTERN KANSAS. THE FASTER AND MORE NORTH GFS SOLUTION WOULD TEND TO KEEP THE HEAVIEST SNOW NORTH AND EAST OF SOUTHEAST COLORADO. AT ANY RATE...CURRENT WINTER STORM WARNINGS REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING...WITH THE FOCUS SHIFTING FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS. WILL NEED TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS AND POSSIBLE BLIZZARD CONDITIONS ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE PLAINS MONDAY NIGHT...WITH SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW...THOUGH NOT READY TO PULL THE TRIGGER AS OF YET. COOL NORTHWEST FLOW DEVELOPS ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE DAY TUESDAY AS THE STRONG STORM SYSTEM CONTINUES TO LIFT OUT INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST. MODELS INDICATING A MINOR WAVE EMBEDDED WITHING THE FLOW KEEPING THE CHANCE OF LIGHT SNOW...MAINLY OVER AND NEAR THE HIGHER TERRAIN THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT WITH WELL BELOW SEASONAL TEMPS EXPECTED AREA WIDE. COOL NORTHWEST FLOW CONTINUES ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK...KEEPING TEMPERATURES AT OR BELOW SEASONAL AVERAGES AND CHANCES OF LIGHT SNOW OVER AND NEAR THE HIGHER TERRAIN...ESPECIALLY THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY...AS ANOTHER EMBEDDED WAVE MOVES ACROSS THE STATE. && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY NIGHT) ISSUED AT 1029 PM MST SUN JAN 31 2016 THE UPPER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WAS CURRENTLY OVER CENTRAL CA AND MOVING INTO SOUTHERN NV...BUT THE EXACT PATH OF THIS SYSTEM IS STILL A QUESTION...WHICH WILL HAVE A HUGE EFFECT ON THE AMOUNT OF SNOW THE AREA WILL SEE. KALS...LOOK FOR MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS AS THE SYSTEM NEARS...WHICH WILL CONTINUE UNTIL AROUND 21Z. BY THEN THE UPPER LOW SHOULD BE TRACKING ALONG THE CO/NM STATE LINE AND TO THE EAST...SWINGING SFC WINDS AT KALS TO A W THEN NW DIRECTION. IMPROVING CONDITIONS AFTERWARD. KCOS AND KPUB...BANDS OF SNOW WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE I25 CORRIDOR...AFFECTING THE TAF SITES OF KCOS AND KPUB THROUGH THE NIGHT. AS THE SYSTEM TRACKS EAST THROUGH THE DAY MONDAY...SNOW FALL IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE THROUGH THE MORNING AND AFTN...THEN AROUND 21Z-22Z AS THE LOW CONTINUES EAST THE STRONG NORTHERLY WRAP-AROUND WINDS WILL THEN SURGE SOUTH. THIS WILL CAUSE AREAS OF BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW...AND EVEN THOUGH SNOWFALL INTENSITY WILL DROP OFF...VISBILITIES WILL LOWER. EXPECT IFR TO LIFR CONDITIONS TO PERSIST OVER THE NEXT 24 HRS.

THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING WIDESPREAD SNOW TO AREAS ALONG AND WEST OF THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...WITH SNOW...HEAVY AT TIMES...SPREADING EAST ACROSS THE HIGH MOUNTAIN VALLEYS THROUGH THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS AND ADJACENT PLAINS THROUGH MONDAY MORNING. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY THE STRONG STORM WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE ACROSS THE COLORADO AND NEW MEXICO BORDER THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...BEFORE LIFTING OUT ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS THROUGH THE DAY TUESDAY. THIS WILL BE A HIGH IMPACT STORM....BRINGING ABUNDANT SNOWFALL ALONG WITH GUSTY WINDS TO ALL OF SOUTHERN COLORADO. STORM TOTAL SNOWFALL ACROSS THE MOUNTAIN AREAS WILL GENERALLY BE BETWEEN 1 AND 2 FEET...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE AT THE PEAKS.

IN ADDITION...STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS...GUSTING UP TO 45 MPH AT TIMES...WILL DEVELOP ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE EASTERN PLAINS MONDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. THIS WILL PRODUCE VERY HAZARDOUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS...WITH POOR VISIBILITY IN SNOW AND BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW. SNOW WILL DIMINISH ACROSS THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT...WITH LIGHT SNOW LINGERING INTO WEDNESDAY...ESPECIALLY OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN. A WEAK DISTURBANCE PASSING TO THE NORTH WILL BRING A QUICK SHOT OF SNOW TO THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS...AND PERHAPS THE PALMER DIVIDE ON FRIDAY.
