125 PM MDT TUE JUL 5 2005

.SHORT TERM...
(TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY)

...STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AGAIN POSSIBLE ACROSS SERN CO LATE
THIS AFTN THROUGH EVE...

CURRENTLY...LATEST WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND RUC MODEL UPPER AIR
ANALYSES SHOWING SOME WEAK MID/UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGHS
RIPPLING THROUGH THE CNTRL ROCKIES. EARLY AFTN LAPS ANALYSIS HAD 1K-
2.5K J/KG ACROSS I-25 CORRIDOR AND SERN CO PLAINS WITH EVEN 1K-1.5K
J/KG IN THE SAN LUIS VALLEY THANKS TO 40-50F SFC DEW POINTS SNEAKING
UP FROM THE SOUTH.  CU/TCU HAVING BEEN FORMING LATE THIS MORNING AND
EARLY AFTN OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND HIGH VALLEYS WITH A FEW STORMS
FORMING OVER EL PASO COUNTY. MOST OF THE EARLY TCU HAVE BEEN
EVOLVING INTO JUST ORPHAN ANVILS AND THE LOWER/MID CLOUD MASS
DETERIORATES.

LATE THIS AFTN AND TNGT...STILL LOOKS LIKE THE POTENTIAL FOR ISOLD-
SCT STRONG-SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE I-25 CORRIDOR INTO THE
SERN CO PLAINS THIS AFTN AND EVE. THE ACTIVITY SHOULD EVOLVE INTO A
MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM OVER ERN CO/WRN KS LATER TNGT...AS A SLY
30-35KT LLJ FORMS OVER THE TX/OK PANHANDLES. WITH PROJECTED SURFACE
BASED CAPE VALUES OF 2K-3.5K J/KG...LIFTED INDICES OF -2C TO -8C...
-10C TO -30C CAPE VALUES OF APPROXIMATELY 600-1100 J/KG...0-6KM BULK
SHEARS OF 40-50KTS AND SHALLOW CURVED HODOGRAPHS...AND WET BULB
ZERO HEIGHTS OF 8K-9K FT AGL...THE POTENTIAL FOR ROTATING SUPERCELLS
PRODUCING HAIL OF 3/4 TO 1 3/4 INCH WILL BE POSSIBLE GENERALLY ALONG
I-25 CORRIDOR THIS MID AFTN AND SHIFTING INTO THE SERN CO PLAINS LATE
THIS AFTN AND EVE IN THE STRONGER STORM UPDRAFTS. STRONG AND DAMAGING
WINDS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE AS DOWNDRAFT CAPES ARE PROGGED TO BE 1K-
2K J/KG. A TORNADO COULD ALSO BE POSSIBLE IN SHALLOW HORIZONTAL
VORTICITY RICH BOUNDARIES AND STRONG UPDRAFTS ACROSS SERN CO. THE
ONLY FLY-IN-THE-OINTMENT WOULD BE THE LACK OF A SHORTWAVE TROUGH
ENHANCING THE CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL...WHICH WOULD ONLY LEAD TO WEAK-
MODERATE TSTM ACTIVITY.

WED...NOT MUCH CHANGE IN THE PATTERN...EXCEPT THE NAM IS A LITTLE
DRIER IN ERN CO BY THE AFTN. HOWEVER...THE POTENTIAL FOR TSTMS OVER
OUR ERN CO MOUNTAINS WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE AND COULD ROLL INTO ERN
CO INDUCING ADDITIONAL TSTMS ALONG ANY OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES.
PERSISTENCE IS PROBABLY THE BEST TOOL. ADJUST THE POP/WX/LAL
FORECASTS FOR SERN CO BASED ON SURROUNDING OFFICE INPUT. WARM AND
RELATIVELY DRY WEATHER TO CONTINUE FOR THE CONTDVD...ESPECIALLY
IN SWRN CO. METZE

.LONG TERM...
(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)

...SEASONAL WEATHER PATTERN SETTING UP FOR THE REGION THROUGH THE
EXTENDED...

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: LLVL MOISTURE WILL STILL BE AVAILABLE WED
EVE...WITH MID 40 TO UPPER 50 DEWPOINTS...PROVIDING 2500 J/KG
OF CAPE FOR MUCH OF THE E PLAINS. HOWEVER...BULK SHEAR LOOKS TO
BE MARGINAL AT BEST...THEREFORE MAIN THREATS WILL BE LARGE HAIL AND
DAMAGING WINDS. THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD TRACK ACROSS THE E PLAINS
DURING THE EVENING...LASTING LATE INTO THE NIGHT FOR THE FAR EAST
ALONG THE CO/KS BORDER. WESTERN SECTIONS OF THE CWA WILL REMAIN HOT
AND ESSENTIALLY DRY...AND LACK OF SUSTAINED STRONG WINDS IS REALLY
THE ONLY THING RESTRAINING A FIRE WX HIGHLIGHT SINCE FUELS ARE
DRYING.

THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY: MODELS INDICATE THAT THE UPPER RIDGE WILL
REMAIN SOUTH AND SLIGHTLY WEST OF THE STATE...KEEPING THE STATE ON
THE E SIDE OF THE RIDGE. THIS WILL HELP KEEP IN PLACE THE DAILY
CHANCE OF AFTN AND EVE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE E MTS AND
PLAINS. CONDITIONS SHOULD REMAIN HOT AND RELATIVELY DRY FOR THE W MTS
AND HIGH VALLEYS...WITH ANY CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY MOST LIKELY DRY.
EXTENDED MODELS TRY TO CHANGE THE WEATHER PATTERN SLIGHTLY ON SAT
INTO SUN...WITH THE UPPER TROUGH OVER THE W COAST MIGRATING TO THE
N AND THE RIDGE OVER COLORADO FLATTENING...HOWEVER 850-500 MB
HUMIDITY CHARTS STILL SHOW MOIST AIR OVER E CO...SO FOR NOW WILL NOT
DEVIATE FROM JULY CLIMO WX PATTERN. MOORE//
