HODANISHWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Pueblo, CO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 1, 2:30 PM MDT, 4 hours 26 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 1, 2:30 PM MDT, 4 hours 26 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO 230 PM MDT FRI JUL 1 2005 .SHORT TERM... (TONIGHT AND SATURDAY) CURRENTLY SATELLITE INDICATES A BOUNDARY THE EXTENDS TO NRN EL PASO COUNTY. ALONG THIS BOUNDARY THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEEN FIRING. SFC DEW POINTS OVR THE SERN CO PLAINS AREA IN THE MID 40S TO LOWER 50S AND SERLY UPSLOPE FLOW INDICATED BY KPUX...UP TO ABOUT 9000 FT MSL. 0-6KM SHEAR VALUES ARE 35-45 KTS. CAPE VALUES ARE FORECAST TO RANGE FROM AROUND 600 J/KG NR THE ERN MTS TO AROUND 2500 J/KG OVR THE FAR SERN COUNTIES. ALL THIS SHOULD LEAD TO ISOLD TO SCT TSTMS OVR THE SERN PLAINS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME SEVERE WEATHER. WILL KEEP JUST ISOLD POPS OVR WRN AREAS WHERE THE DRY LOWER LEVELS WL MEAN THE MAIN THREAT FROM SHOWERS AND TSTMS WL BE WIND. WL KEEP SOME POPS GOING INTO THE LATE NIGHT HRS AGAIN FOR THE FAR SE PLAINS. ON SATURDAY THERE WL STILL BE SOME MID LVL MSTR IN PLACE LIKE TODAY...BUT WITH WARMER TEMPS ALOFT THE ATMOSPHERE SHOULD BE HARDER TO GET STORMS GOING...SO WL JUST GO WITH AROUND 10 PERCENT COVERAGE OF POPS OVR THE MTS AND NEARBY PLAINS FOR THE AFTERNOON HOURS. 700MB TEMPS OVR THE AREA ARE FORECAST TO BE 1 TO 4 C WARMER THAN TODAY...THUS TEMPS WL STILL BE ABOVE NORMAL...HAVE MADE JUST A FEW ADJUSTMENTS TO MAX T GRID. .LONG TERM... (SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY) ...POTENTIAL FOR MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEMS IN AND AROUND EASTERN COLORADO JUST ABOUT EACH DAY... UPPER LEVEL PATTERN PROJECTED TO REMAIN NEARLY STAGNANT INTO NEXT WEEK WITH A BROAD AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE DESERT SW AND OLD MEXICO. SOME STRENGTHENING(E.G. HEIGHT RISES) ARE BEING FORECAST TOWARDS THE END OF THE PERIOD. THIS PROMOTES WLY FLOW ALOFT WITH MINOR SHORTWAVE TROUGHS MOVING THROUGH THE FLOW AND THE CNTRL ROCKIES BEING ON THE SRN FRINGE OF THE WESTERLIES. ALSO...IN THE LOW LEVELS...A (QUASI-STATIONARY) FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BE IN AND AROUND ERN CO INTO THE PLAINS AND MIDWEST WITH SFC HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE NRN TIER OF THE CONTIGUOUS 48 STATES. THIS PATTERN...IF IT MATERIALIZES...WILL BE HIGHLY SUSCEPTIBLE FOR NOCTURNAL MCS ACTIVITY JUST ABOUT EVERY DAY. LOW LEVEL DEW POINTS(E.G. 50S/60S IN ERN CO/WRN KS) WILL PROBABLY POOL ALONG AND NORTH OF THE FRONT IN ERN CO INTO THE PLAINS. AS THE MINOR SHORTWAVE TROUGHS MOVE THROUGH THE CNTRL ROCKIES...ISOLD-SCT SHRA/TSRA WILL LIKELY DEVELOP IN THE AFTN AND THEN EVOLVE INTO A MCS ACROSS THE CNTRL PLAINS DURING THE NGT. THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE IN THESE PATTERNS IS THE ACTUALLY LOCATION OF THE COLD FRONT/OUTFLOW BOUNDARY IN THE MORNING...WHICH IS THE PRECURSOR TO THE AFTN AND NIGHTTIME SHRA/TSRA FORECAST. ALSO WITH THIS DIFFICULT LOW LEVEL BOUNDARY FORECAST...TEMPS WILL BE A CHALLENGE IN ERN CO. IF THESE CLUSTER OF SHRA/TSRA FORM IN ERN CO...THERE WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN WITH PROJECTED K-INDICES OF 40-45C. ALSO...THERE COULD BE A SEVERE CONVECTIVE WEATHER POTENTIAL. MEANWHILE...FURTHER WEST TOWARDS THE CONTDVD...MAINLY WARM/HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL BE LIKELY WITH H7 TEMPS OF +15C TO +20C...HAINES INDICES OF 5-6...MINIMUM RH VALUES OF < 20%...AND FUELS CONTINUING TO CURE. THE FIRE DANGER THREAT WILL LIKELY INCREASE WITH NO WIDESPREAD WETTING PRECIPITATION ON THE HORIZON FOR THE CONTDVD. METZE && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. && 28/17
