SPOT FORECAST FOR RESERVOIR BURN...PUEBLO WEST F.D.
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
647 AM MST SAT FEB 13 2010

IF CONDITIONS BECOME UNREPRESENTATIVE...CONTACT THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE.

.DISCUSSION...NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE AREA THIS
AFTERNOON AS A WEATHER DISTURBANCE MOVING ACROSS THE NORTHERN ROCKIES
CONTINUES TO MOVE INTO NORTHCENTRAL COLORADO. LEE TROUGHING ACROSS THE
EASTERN PLAINS THIS MORNING HAS ALLOWED FOR BREEZY WESTERLY WINDS TO
DEVELOP OVERNIGHT ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN WEST OF THE I-25 CORRIDOR.

LOW LEVEL WINDS FOR THIS AFTERNOON REMAIN A CONCERN AS LEE TROUGHING IS
EXPECTED TO RE-DEVELOP ALONG THE I-25 CORRIDOR WITH THE INCREASING FLOW
ALOFT AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING WEATHER DISTURBANCE. AT PRESENT...IT LOOKS
LIKE THE RESERVIOR BURN SITE SHOULD STAY WITHIN THE WESTERLY (DOWNSLOPE)
FLOW REGIME WITH AREAS TO THE EAST POSSIBLLY BECOMING WEAK EASTERLY
(UPSLOPE) LATE THIS AFTERNOON. WITH THE APPROACHING WEATHER SYSTEM...AN
ISOLATED SHOWER IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION THIS AFTERNOON AS WELL...THOUGH
WITH A DRIER LOWER ATMOSPHERE...COULD SEE LOCALLY GUSTY WINDS OF 25 TO 35
MPH WITH LITTLE PRECIPITATION NEAR SHOWERS THAT DO HAPPEN TO DEVELOP.
