Updated NWS Boulder Situation Report for This Weekend's Snow Storm

by Paul Schlatter - NOAA Federal

The NWS Boulder Situation Report has been updated and is available by clicking here <https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vRvifChjITAJSGahy5imbQ0ko...> . Please note that once you load the page you can advance each slide/image by tapping once or clicking on the page. You can go backwards and forwards using arrows at the bottom. The slide will auto-advance in a minute without any user input, unfortunately that's the longest we can set the delay to. Ultimately we will load the SitRep as a PDF on our front page website but we are still experiencing issues uploading anything to our webpage. The storm total snow graphic is now public so feel free to share with any as you see fit. The next briefing per Greg Hanson's email from earlier this afternoon is at 8 AM tomorrow. The registration link is https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/3138730077865598219 Thanks, NWS Boulder

NWS Boulder Weekend Storm Update

by Paul Schlatter - NOAA Federal

NWS Boulder Partners, We will very soon start doing Situation Reports and conference calls at a regular cadence in preparation for the major storm potential Friday through this weekend. At this point still about ~4 days before the impacts might begin, we couldn't provide a lot of detailed information in those briefings and SitReps yet. Nevertheless, we wanted to provide you with our latest thoughts since this potential storm continues to be all over the news and on social media.. - Confidence in a significant winter storm Friday - Sunday/Monday has increased a bit since Greg Hanson last emailed you all. - Mountains west of the Continental Divide: Light snow will likely continue off and from late this evening into this weekend, but amounts will be fairly light overall with only minor travel impacts expected. - This storm is expected to generate deep and very moist easterly flow, which means the heaviest snow will be from the Continental Divide eastward across the foothills and the plains Friday through Sunday/Monday. - The storm is expected to be a slow mover, and a large area of Colorado should be impacted in some fashion for 48-72 hours - Timing: Driving conditions could deteriorate as soon as Friday evening across the eastern foothills, I-25 corridor, and eastern plains - Saturday still looks to see the heaviest snow, but there are now indications that Sunday could also see heavy snow, and snow may continue into Monday. This means that improving conditions may not occur until Monday afternoon. - There is still plenty of uncertainty on timing and amounts, which is the main reason why we still have not shown any snowfall total graphics for this weekend. *Bottom Line:* If all the conditions come together like a fair number of computer models are indicating, we may be measuring the snowfall in feet across a significant portion of northern Colorado by the time the snow winds down sometime on Sunday or even Monday. We will begin adding more details on potential snow amounts, impacts, and timing as soon as Wednesday. You can keep up with our latest thinking by reading through our forecast discussions here. <https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=BOU&issuedby=BOU&product=AF...> Feel free to reach out to Greg Hanson or our operations line 303-494-4479 to talk to a forecaster. -- Paul Schlatter Science and Operations Officer National Weather Service Denver/Boulder Weather Forecast Office

NWS Boulder - weekend snow hype control

by Greg Hanson - NWS Federal

Hello all, you are likely seeing social media and other stories of a weekend snowstorm with huge numbers that I will not repeat. Yes, there is the potential for a significant snowfall this beginning this weekend in the mountains and for this weekend across the plains & foothills. However there is still a tremendous amount of uncertainty. Some of the bigger forecast amounts you are seeing are from experimental models or one big outlier from an off-hour model run, and while they are fun to look at they should not be used in your decision making. Here is how we are forecasting things to play out: Starting tomorrow night the mountains will be in nearly non-stop snow with moist westerly uplsope flow. The western slopes of Colorado & west facing higher terrain will be in the primary recipient of snow. A bit of a lull during the day Thursday, then snow into the foothills and possibly rain/snow mix on the northern plains late this week. For our plains & adjacent foothills the real event is for this weekend and this is where you are seeing the hype. Forecast guidance right now makes this look like a good snow producer with a long period of upslope flow, good moisture available from the Gulf of Mexico, and cold enough temperatures. However storm tracks & timing can change. Bottom line, there is a potential for heavy snow this weekend. Watch the forecast, and we will most likely be having conference calls and sending our "Situation Reports" this week. Make your early preparations based on the potential, and stay tuned for forecast snowfall amounts as we get closer to the weekend. For a more detailed discussion read NWS Boulder's forecast discussion here <https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=BOU&issuedby=BOU&product=AF...> . Feel free to reach out to me our call our operations line to talk to a forecaster.
