SMOKE MANAGEMENT FORECAST FOR WESTERN COLORADO
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND JUNCTION CO
311 PM MDT TUE MAY 21 2013
.DISCUSSION...
UPPER RIDGING WILL TEMPORARILY MOVE OVER WESTERN COLORADO OVERNIGHT
BEFORE BEING FLUSHED EASTWARD BY A LARGE DIGGING TROF ACROSS THE
WESTERN STATES ON WEDNESDAY. THE CLEAR SKIES AND RELATIVELY LIGHT
WINDS ALOFT SHOULD LEAD TO QUICKLY DEVELOPING SHALLOW INVERSIONS
TONIGHT AND POOR SMOKE DISPERSAL. A WARMER AND DRIER AIRMASS UNDER
THE RIDGE WILL LEAD TO MORE EFFICIENT HEATING AND MIXING SHOULD
BRING SMOKE DISPERSAL TO THE EXCELLENT CATEGORY BY EARLY AFTERNOON.
AS THE WESTERN STATES LOW EXPANDS EASTWARD...WINDS ALOFT WILL BE
INCREASING AND PULLING IN DRY AIR FROM THE SOUTHWEST. THIS WILL
LEAD TO STRONG HEATING AND AFTERNOON WIND GUSTS OVER 30 MPH.
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED IN THE LOWER
ELEVATIONS OF SOUTHWEST COLORADO WHERE DRY FUELS ARE IN PLACE.
