AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
359 AM MDT TUE MAY 30 2006

.SHORT TERM...
(TODAY AND TONIGHT)

...POSSIBLE SEVERE WEATHER OVER THE PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...

COMPLEX SCENARIO FOR SEVERE WEATHER IS SHAPING UP TODAY FOR THE
E PLAINS. MESOSCALE MODELS HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING TO KEEP UP WITH
THE RAPIDLY CHANGING FORECAST...AND EACH RUN HAS BEEN FAIRLY
DIFFERENT FROM THE LAST. COMPLICATING THE SCENARIO IS BANDED
CONVECTIVE SYSTEM CURRENTLY MOVING THROUGH CROWLEY AND KIOWA
COUNTIES. DEW POINTS OVER THE CWA HAVE BEEN SLOW TO COME UP...
MAINLY STILL HOLDING IN THE 30S...ALTHOUGH UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S
ARE JUST OVER THE BORDER IN KS AND THE OK/TX PANHANDLES. PROGGED
DEW POINTS OF MID 50S FOR THE SE GRASSLANDS NOT OUT OF REACH IF
DECENT MOISTURE TRANSPORT KICKS IN AS SCHEDULED THIS MORN.

MAIN TRIGGER FOR CONVECTION WILL BE THE SHORT WAVE CURRENTLY
MOVING INTO W WY. THIS SHOULD SPARK THE DEVELOPMENT OF ISOLD
STORMS OVER THE ERN MTNS BY 20ZISH. A COUPLE STRONG STORMS OVER THE
S FRONT RANGE CANNOT BE RULED OUT GIVEN DECENT BULK SHEAR...BUT MAIN
FOCUS FOR POSSIBLE SEVERE WILL BE TO THE SOUTH ALONG AND NORTH OF A
QUASI STATIONARY BOUNDARY STRETCHING FROM THE RATON TO THE NRN TX
AND OK PANHANDLES. HERE...COULD SEE CAPE OF 1-2K...HELICITY OF 1-200
M2/S2...AND SHEAR OF 45-55 KTS. THIS WILL PROMOTE DEVELOPMENT OF
SUPERCELLS...ESPECIALLY OVER ERN LAS ANIMAS...BACA...BENT...AND
PROWERS COUNTIES. THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE SEVERE WINDS AND LARGE HAIL
UP TO 2 INCHES. LOW LCLS IN THIS REGION ALONG WITH BACKED LOW-LEV
WINDS WILL ALSO PROVIDE A LOW-GRADE THREAT OF A TORNADO OR TWO.

COVERAGE OF CONVECTION IS LIKELY TO INCREASE THROUGH THE EVENING
BEFORE DIMINISHING SLOWLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. HOPEFULLY THE PLAINS
WILL SEE SOME MUCH NEEDED RAIN FROM THE DEPARTING CONVECTION.

FURTHER TO THE WEST...STILL FIRE WX CONCERNS FOR THE SAN LUIS
VALLEY...WHICH WILL NOT BENEFIT FROM THE ERN PCPN. LOW RHS AND
DRY FUELS WILL CONTINUE TO MEAN HIGH FIRE DANGER. WINDS SHOULD BE
BETTER BEHAVED TODAY...SO NO HIGHLITES WILL BE ISSUED...BUT WILL
HAVE TO CLOSELY MONITOR THE VALLEY TODAY. ROSE

.LONG TERM...
(WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY)

COULD BE SOME LINGERING PCPN OVR THE SERN PLAINS WED MORNING AS WEAK
UPR SHRTWV TROF MOVES OVR THE AREA. WED AFTERNOON AND EVENING THE
TROF WL MOVE E OF THE AREA...BUT SOME DIURNAL SHOWERS/TSTMS COULD
STILL OCCUR. AN UPR RIDGE BUILDS OVR THE AREA FOR THU THRU MON.
SOME MSTR TRAPPED UNDER THE RIDGE WL LIKELY MEAN SOME AFTERNOON
AND EVENING SHOWERS AND TSTMS EACH DAY. TEMPS WILL ALSO GET QUITE
WARM AGAIN AS THE RIDGE BUILDS OVR THE AREA. 700MB TEMPS ARE
FORECAST TO RANGE FROM ABOUT 13-18C ON FRI...15-20C SAT AND SUN.
