What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this flash flood watch 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 flash flood watch went out at Jul 7, 4:53 AM MDT, 7 hours 10 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 7, 4:53 AM MDT, 7 hours 10 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO 453 AM MDT FRI JUL 7 2006 .SHORT TERM... (TODAY AND TONIGHT) ...STILL HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL... ON THE FENCE AS TO WHETHER OR NOT TO ISSUE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH AGAIN FOR TODAY. OPTED NOT TO FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS. THE MAIN ONE IS PROBABLY THIS. IT LOOKS LIKE THE FOCUS FOR RAIN TODAY WILL BE A FARTHER WEST THAN PREVIOUS DAYS...GENERALLY FROM THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS WESTWARD (INSTEAD OF EASTWARD)...BRINGING RAIN TO AREAS THAT ARENT SO SOAKED AS AREAS FARTHER EAST. THE MAIN INSTIGATOR TO THE PRECIP OVER THE WEST APPEARS TO BE THE BIG SLUG OF MONSOON MOISTURE VISIBLE IN SATELLITE PICTURES TRACKING NORTH ACROSS EASTERN AZ AND WESTERN NM THIS MORNING. HOWEVER...IT DOESNT APPEAR THAT THIS MOISTURE WILL HAVE AS MUCH IMPACT FARTHER EAST ACROSS THE PLAINS. OVER THE EAST...PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES AND SURFACE DEWPOINTS DROP A LITTLE COMPARED TO THURSDAY. ALSO...CONVECTION LOOKS TO GET A LATE START (AGAIN) WITH NOT AS MUCH COVERAGE AS RECENT DAYS. THEN FOR TONIGHT...THE QUESTION IS HOW SOON WILL THE BOUNDARY ARRIVE IN EASTERN COLORADO TO FOCUS PRECIPITATION OVER THE EAST. IN PREVIOUS RUNS...IT LOOKED LIKE IT WOULD MOVE IN AFTER MIDNIGHT...INCREASING PRECIP OVER THE PLAINS AT THAT TIME. HOWEVER...NOW THE ARRIVAL OF THE BOUNDARY LOOKS TO HOLD OFF UNTIL SATURDAY MORNING. SO DOESNT LOOK LIKE THIS WILL BE MUCH OF FACTOR IN PROVIDING A PRECIPITATION FOCUS OVER THE EAST...AT LEAST FOR TONIGHT. THE ONE AREA THAT CONTINUES TO RAISE QUESTIONS IS THE UPPER ARKANSAS VALLEY...INCLUDING FREMONT COUNTY...THE AREA RECENTLY POUNDED BY FLOODING RAINS. THEY HAD A BREAK FROM THE RAIN THURSDAY...WHICH IS A BIG PLUS IN REDUCING THE THREAT OF ADDITIONAL FLOODING. HOWEVER...THE NAM12 IS DEVELOPING A RATHER PERSISTENT AREA OF PRECIPITATION OVER THIS REGION TONIGHT...WITH 12 HOUR TOTALS APPROACHING 1 INCH. IF THIS AMOUNT OF RAIN FALLS SPREAD OUT OVER THE COURSE OF THE NIGHT...I THINK ALL WILL BE FINE. HOWEVER...IF IT COMES IN ONE BIG CHUNK (FOLLOWING IN AN HOUR OR 2)...OR IF THERE ENDS UP BEING AREAS OF MUCH HEAVIER RAINFALL...THEN WERE IN TROUBLE... MORE FLOODING PROBLEMS COULD ENSUE. SINCE THE POTENTIAL FOR FLOOD PRODUCING RAIN FALLS IN THE 2ND FORECAST PERIOD...I WILL HOLD OFF ON A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR NOW...AND ALLOW THE DAY SHIFT TO MAKE THE CALL BASED ON LATER DATA. IN ANY EVENT...WITH THE MONSOON PLUME STILL AROUND...AND PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES STILL RANGING FROM 3 QUARTERS OF INCH TO AN INCH AND A THIRD...THERE CONTINUES TO BE A GOOD POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN TODAY...JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE. SO...MORE URBAN AND/OR SMALL STREAM FLOOD PROBLEMS WILL CERTAINLY BE POSSIBLE. BRIEFLY...WITH A SLIGHTLY DRIER AND WARMER AIRMASS OVER THE AREA TODAY...TEMPERATURES WILL JUMP UP A BIT...CLIMBING BACK INTO THE LOWER 90S ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE PLAINS. THESE TEMPS ARE JUST ABOUT NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR... FINALLY. LW .LONG TERM... (SATURDAY THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY) NOT MANY CHANGES FROM LAST NIGHTS THINKING WITH METEOROLOGICAL ISSUES REMAINING LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL THREATS SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY AND THEN A WARMING AND DRYING TREND ATTEMPTING TO DEVELOP NEXT WEEK. LATEST LONGER TERM MODELS STILL INDICATE THAT NORTHERLY SURGE TO PUSH ACROSS CENTRAL AND EASTERN SECTIONS OF CWFA BY SATURDAY MORNING...WHICH IS SLIGHTLY SLOWER THAN EARLIER MODEL RUNS. HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES STILL PROJECTED TO REMAIN OVER CWFA DURING THE WEEKEND AND THIS COMBINED WITH PROXIMITY OF FRONT WILL ALLOW LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS TO BE NOTED...ESPECIALLY SATURDAY INTO SATURDAY NIGHT...THEREFORE...WILL INSERT MENTION OF HEAVY RAIN SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT AND ADJUST INHERITED MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES DOWN A CATEGORY OR SO ON SATURDAY. WILL ALSO TREND TEMPERATURES DOWN ON SUNDAY ALONG WITH CONTINUED MAINLY SCATTERED POPS. IT STILL APPEARS THAT DEEPER MOISTURE PLUME WILL ATTEMPT TO DEPART CWFA BY LATER MONDAY...WHICH IS SLIGHTLY SLOWER THAN DEPICTED LAST NIGHT. AT ANY RATE AS DEEPER MOISTURE DEPARTS...EXPECT DECREASING PRECIPITATION CHANCES AND MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES CLIMBING TO ABOVE CLIMATOLOGICAL AVERAGES...ESPECIALLY FROM TUESDAY INTO THURSDAY AS 700 MB TEMPERATURES PROJECTED TO RUN IN THE 17C TO 19C RANGE IN THE I-25 CORRIDOR. OVERALL...GRADIENT WINDS TO REMAIN GENERALLY WELL BEHAVED DURING THE LONG TERM...WITH HEALTHIEST GRADIENT WINDS EXPECTED FROM MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT. && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. &&

WILDFIRE SCARS...URBANIZED AREAS...AND LOCATIONS THAT HAVE SEEN RECENT FLOODING OR HEAVY RAIN...WILL ALL BE ESPECIALLY SUBJECT TO FLOOD PROBLEMS SHOULD HEAVY RAIN DEVELOP. LATE TONIGHT...THE ARRIVAL OF A STRONG COLD FRONT TO SOUTHERN COLORADO COULD BRING AN INCREASE IN RAINFALL TO THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS AND PLAINS. HOWEVER...TIMING OF THIS COLD FRONT IS STILL IN QUESTION. LATEST MODEL PROJECTIONS COMING IN OVERNIGHT NOW INDICATE THE FRONT WILL HOLD OFF UNTIL AFTER SUNRISE SATURDAY. IF THIS IS THE CASE...LITTLE OR NO INCREASE IN RAINFALL WILL BE EXPECTED UNTIL THEN. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY A MOIST AIRMASS IS PROJECTED TO CONTINUE OVER SOUTHERN COLORADO THROUGH THE WEEKEND...ALLOWING THE HEAVY RAIN AND ASSOCIATED FLOODING THREAT TO CONTINUE SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY. ONCE AGAIN...URBAN AREAS...SMALL STREAMS...ARROYOS...AND BURN SCARS WILL ALL BE SUBJECT TO FLASH FLOODING. DUE TO MOIST SOILS...THE THREAT OF FLASH FLOODING WILL CONTINUE... ESPECIALLY IN AREAS THAT HAVE SEEN REPEATED HEAVY RAINS THE PAST FEW DAYS. THE FLASH FLOOD THREAT WILL CONTINUE TO BE EVALUATED DAILY BASED ON THE PREVIOUS DAYS RAINFALL. ASIDE FROM THE HEAVY RAIN AND FLOOD POTENTIAL...OTHER WEATHER CONCERNS FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY WILL BE WIND GUSTS UP TO 45 MPH...HAZARDOUS LIGHTNING AND HAIL UP TO 1/2 INCH IN DIAMETER IN THE STRONGER STORMS. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING WIND GUSTS UP TO 45 MPH...HAIL UP TO 1/2 INCH IN DIAMETER AND HAZARDOUS LIGHTNING ARE EXPECTED MONDAY INTO THURSDAY. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
