Area forecast discussion, Jun 21, 2:19 PM MDT, 3 hours 40 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO 219 PM MDT WED JUN 21 2006 .SHORT TERM... (TONIGHT AND THURSDAY) NUMEROUS TSRA FIRING IN MOIST POST FRONTAL AIR MASS...WITH COLD FRONT THROUGH ALL THE PLAINS EXCEPT THE AREA AROUND TRINIDAD...WHERE DRIER AIR HAS MIXED DOWN AGAIN. EXPECT STORMS TO ORGANIZE INTO AN MCS OVER THE EASTERN PLAINS THIS EVENING...THUS BEEFED UP POP AND QPF GRIDS. SEVERE CERTAINLY POSSIBLE...THOUGH 0-6 KM SHEARS OF 30 KNOTS OR LESS SUGGEST MOSTLY PULSE SEVERE THE MAIN CONVECTIVE MODE. WESTERN ZONES REMAIN DRY...WITH A FEW ISOLATED DRY -TSRA NOTED OVER THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS. EXPECT A REPLAY OF CONVECTION ON THURSDAY...WITH MOIST AIR MASS CONTINUING TO DEEPEN OVER THE PLAINS. SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY FOR SEVERE STORMS ONCE AGAIN...WITH ABUNDANT CAPE COMPENSATING FOR LESS THAN IDEAL 0-6 KM SHEAR. INCREASED POPS AND MENTION SEVERE FOR MOST EASTERN PLAINS ZONES THURSDAY AFTERNOON...WHILE WESTERN ZONES REMAIN DRY WITH A CONTINUATION OF VERY ISOLATED DRY -TSRA. --PETERSEN .LONG TERM... (FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY) ...NORTHWEST FLOW TO BRING GENERALLY SEASONABLE TEMPS AND A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS TO THE REGION...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE I-25 CORRIDOR... DURING MOST OF THIS PERIOD...MODERATE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE AT MID LVLS WILL BE PARKED OVER LAS VEGAS REGION...WITH WEAK TROUGHIENESS OVER THE EASTERN 1/3RD OF THE NATION. THIS WILL KEEP OUR REGION IN A GENERAL NW FLOW PATTERM ALOFT WITH OCCASIONAL CANADIAN SURGES COMING DOWN THE PLAINS. THIS TYPE OF PATTERN IS FAVORABLE FOR GENEARLLY SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES ALONG WITH SCTD STORMS...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE I-25 CORRIDOR...AND THE ADJANCENT PLAINS. BEST CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS DURING THIS PERIOD WILL BE FRIDAY AS ANOTHER SURGE WILL COME DOWN THE PLAINS. THIS COMBINED WITH 15-25KT MID LVL FLOW WILL ALLOW SCTD STORMS TO MOVE SE ACROSS THE I-25 CORRIDOR AND THAN SE ACROSS THE PLAINS. A FEW OF THE STORMS COULD BE ON THE STRONG SIDE. THE WEEKEND DRIES OUT A BIT EVEN THOUGH NW FLOW ALOFT CONTINUES. BEST CHANCE OF ISOLD ACTIVITY WILL BE ALONG THE GREATER I-25 CORRIDOR. GFS WANTS TO MOISTEN THING UP AGAIN LATER IN THE WEEK AND SEE NO REASON WHY TO DISREGARD THIS. NW FLOW WILL CONTINUE INTO AT LEAST EARLY NEXT WEEK SO THIS SHOULD KEEP MOST OF THE STORMS ALONG THE E FACING SLOPES OF THE MTNS. WITH GENERALLY SEASONABLE TEMPS...NO STRONG SYNOPTIC WINDS ANTICIPATED AND GENERALLY HIGHER RH VALUES...MET CONDITIONS FAVORALBE FOR EXTREME FIRE BEHAVIOUR WILL LIKELY NOT OCCUR ACROSS THE REGION DURING THIS PERIOD. THIS SHOULD ALLOW THE FIRE CREWS TO GET A HAND ON THE FIRES BURNING ACROSS THE DISTRICT. /HODANISH && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && 10/34
