The episode as NWS BOU wrote it up.
High winds developed in and near the Front Range Foothills. Peak wind gusts included: 90 mph, 3 miles north-northeast of Pleasant View; 88 mph, 3 miles west-southwest of Louisville; 87 mph, 2 miles south of Gold Hill; 79 mph at the NCAR Mesa Laboratory; 76 mph at Glen Haven; 60 mph in Littleton and 58 mph in Arvada. Scattered outages affected approximately 2,400 customers in Boulder and Jefferson Counties. In Berthoud, strong winds destroyed a barn.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Denver/Boulder, CO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jan 8, 8:43 PM MST, 5 hours 10 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Denver/Boulder CO 843 PM MST Sun Jan 8 2017 .UPDATE... Issued at 842 PM MST Sun Jan 8 2017 Another burst of heavier mountain snowfall is ongoing this evening, but latest radars to the west are showing a rapid decrease. That was due to some mid level ridging and drying as noted on the Salt Lake City 00Z sounding. GJT sounding showed very strong warm advection with 700 mb temps near 0C. Snow levels will probably rise a little overnight with further warm advection, but intensity was expected to decrease overnight with the drying so overall little impact on the going forecast. The brunt of the mountain snowstorm will hit the high country Monday and Monday night with the heaviest snowfall and significant blowing snow. Snowfall rates up to 2" per hour are expected as maximum precipitable water plume (3rd standardized anomaly) hits the mountains in the afternoon. Cold advection will begin as well and lapse rates improve. With regard to the wind threat, there may be some opportunity for wave amplification late tonight as mountain snowfall decreases. We still aren't very confident in the highest winds spreading all the way down the Front Range, but given the watch for the adjacent zones from Fort Collins to Boulder and the western Denver suburbs started late tonight we opted to go with the warning. Could be a marginal event with lack of significant mountain wave amplification, but decent gradient as seen in the forecast Sangster data could help. The other point of concern was the Palmer Divide. Very rarely does this area blow very strong but with the west/southwest flow over the Rampart Range we should get some amplification there. Latest HRRR and RAP also supporting wind gusts in excess of 60 mph there so lined that up with Pueblo's new high wind warning in El Paso county. Finally, there were some echoes noted over the northeast plains but almost all virga with cloud decks at or above 7000 feet. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday) Issued at 320 PM MST Sun Jan 8 2017 Very moist Pacific air will be transported into the Central Rockies tonight and Monday. IR Satellite and radar showing an area of increased precipitation over Utah at this time. Expect snow to increase over the Colorado mountains early evening as this batch of moisture moves across Colorado. Relatively drier air behind it will bring a decrease to the mountain snow late tonight. Snow will increase and become heavy at times Monday as very moist air spreads across the Rockies. Snowfall amounts are expected to be significant with 1 to 2 feet of snow for the mountains. Up to 3 feet will be possible near Rabbit Ears Pass and in the mountains of Western Jackson County. Will not issue any highlights for the mountain valleys. Uncertain if it will be cold enough for all snow in the valleys. Also, with the main forcing being orographic, the valleys may miss out on a good part of the moisture. Strong winds are also expected with this system along the east slopes east to about Interstate 25. Models showing a stable layer a little below 500 mb early Monday morning, which should help produce a mountain wave. The 18z NAM shows winds at 700 mb up to 100 knots in the foothills. GFS not quite as strong with peak 700 mb winds around 70 knots. Expect this to produce wind gusts to at least 75 mph in the foothills. With the stable layer being somewhat high, there some uncertainty if the strong winds will spread out from the foothills. Will keep the High Wind Watch in place for this area. It will be windy even if the strong winds don't surface. This will keep overnight lows mild and above freezing in many locations. Highs will also be mild Monday with the western part of Denver Metro area reaching 60 degrees. .LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday) Issued at 320 PM MST Sun Jan 8 2017 A swift zonal flow aloft will continue to drive waves of moisture rich maritime air into the mountains and high western valleys of Colorado through Tuesday night. There will be interruptions in this plume of moisture...but not long enough to allow any notable clearing or significant reduction in precipitation during the period. Mid-level cooling with passing shortwave trough monday night should enhance high country snowfall rates...as before mainly along and west of the Continental Divide. Could see 1-2 inch per hour rates in the park...Gore and Rabbit Ears ranges as well as over the higher west slopes in Summit County. Wind gusts in the 30-50 mph also possible resulting in areas of blowing and drifting snow. Elsewhere...gusty downslope winds will continue in the Front Range foothills and nearby plains Monday night into Tuesday but winds not expected to be as strong or as warm with shift to a Bora wind. However areas up along the Wyoming and Nebraska borders may actually see more wind with a shift to west- northwest flow aloft and cold advection. Furthermore could see a few snow showers drift off the foothills and over portions of the I-25 corridor Monday night. Chance of accumulation quite small. Looking ahead to the period Wednesday through Sunday...Models indicate a modest drop of in high country snowfall early on Wednesday only to ramp up again with another blast of very moist Pacific air. Snow amounts and rates not expected to be as great with southwest flow and mid-level warming. Through the day deep layer qg ascent and lapse rates increase in advance of a shortwave trough moving out of the great Basin. Could see a period of moderate to heavy snow on west slopes Wednesday night which may require issuing some sort of winter weather highlight at some point. Whereas areas east of the mtns look to remain dry for another 24 hours. This will change on Thursday with a cold front dropping in from Wyoming and a swath of moisture passing over the CWA. Will go with likely pops in the high country and a chance of snow at lower elevations. By Friday and into Saturday much drier air sweeps east across the region once the upper trough swings across the region. Although the ECMWF shows a closed upper low over southern Arizona slinging moisture back up into eastern Colorado on Saturday which require at least a slight chance of precip and more cloud cover. Will hold off on introducing this for now. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Monday night) Issued at 842 PM MST Sun Jan 8 2017 Winds will be the main issue tonight and Monday at the Denver airports. Southerly winds are expected through 14z Monday at KDEN and KAPA. However, any mountain wave amplification could push westerly winds off the foothills. Eventually (toward 16Z-19Z Monday), westerly winds to around 40 knots are expected at KDEN and KAPA. At KBJC, strong west winds are expected to develop 09Z- 12Z with gusts to 50-60 knots possible til 00z Tuesday. VFR conditions will prevail through Monday with only mid/high clouds in strong downslope flow. && .BOU WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... High Wind Warning from 2 AM to 5 PM MST Monday for COZ038-039- 041. High Wind Warning until 5 PM MST Monday for COZ035-036.
