AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
211 PM MDT SUN JUN 25 2006

.SHORT TERM...
...MAIN CONCERN IS TSRA RETURNING TO THE C AND SW MTNS AND
   ASSOCIATED FIRE WX CONCERNS...

CURRENTLY...RIDGE ALOFT CONTINUES TO MOVE TO THE WEST...AND IS NOW
LOCATED OVER C NEVADA. THIS IS ALLOWING MOISTURE TO WORK ITS WAY
WEST INTO THE MTNS. RADAR AT THE NOON HOUR WAS INDICATING TSRA AS
FAR W AS THE C MTNS AND E SLOPES OF THE SW MTNS.

REST OF TODAY...DRIER AIR WILL SLOWLY WORK ITS FROM EAST TO WEST
OVER THE PLAINS DECREASING THE CHANCE OF PRECIP ON THE FAR EAST
PLAINS. BEST CHANCE OF POPS BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE ON THE
E FACING SLOPES OF THE MOUNTAINS...ESPECIALLY THE SANGRES AND
PIKES PEAK/FRONT RANGE REGION. SINCE AMPLE LLVL MSTR IS STILL
AVAILABLE ALONG WITH SOME SHEAR...A FEW STRONG STORMS WILL BE
POSSIBLE MAINLY OVER THE FAR S SXNS OF THE SANGRES.

TONIGHT...TSRA SHOULD CONTINUE INTO MID EVENING BEFORE GRADUALLY
DYING OFF. SKIES SHOULD BECOME MOSTLY CLEAR AND IT SHOULD BE A
REFRESHINGLY COOL NIGHT. WITH THE DEEPENING EASTERLY FLOW OVER THE
INTERIOR MTNS...THE LWR LVL MSTR WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE OVER THE
HIGHER TRRN.

TOMORROW...SHOULD SEE SCTD TSRA ALL AREAS OF THE HIER TRRN. WITH THE
SJU MTNS...AND LESSER EXTENT THE C MTNS...IN DROUGHT
CONDITIONS...AND ALONG W/COORD WITH NWS GJT...HAVE ISSUED A FIRE WX
WATCH FOR THE SW AND C MTN REGION. THIS WATCH IS FOR DRY
LTG...ESPECIALLY EARLY IN THE PERIOD. THIS LTG ACTIVITY WILL HAVE
THE POTENTIAL TO START NEW FIRES...ESPECIALLY IN THE SW MTN REGION.
ON THE PLAINS...PRECIP WILL BE RESTRICTED TO MAINLY THE I-25
CORRIDOR REGION WITH THE LLVL NE FLOW AND NW FLOW ALOFT. /HODANISH

.LONG TERM...
FORECAST CHALLENGE WILL BE TIMING OF SHORTWAVES AND SHALLOW COLD
FRONT THROUGH THE SE PLAINS AND ITS AFFECT ON TEMPS/POPS...

LARGE UPPER RIDGE REMAINS OVER THE WESTERN US WITH A TROF TO OUR
EAST. THIS KEEPS SE CO UNDER NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT THROUGH MUCH OF
THE EXTENDED. LATEST MODELS HAVE SLOWED THE PROGRESS OF THE COLD
FRONT INTO SE CO ON TUESDAY...WITH NAM-WRF INDICATING AXIS OF 50+
DEW POINTS REMAINING ACROSS NE/NRN KS. AHEAD OF THIS
BOUNDARY...DEW POINTS ACROSS SE CO REMAIN IN THE 40S...AND EVEN
THE MOUNTAINS HOLD ON TO ENOUGH LOW LVL MOISTURE TO WARRANT
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS. WITH THE LOWER DEW
POINTS...CAPES RANGE FROM 200-1000 J/KG WITH THE HIGHEST READINGS
OVER THE MOUNTAINS. 0-6 KM BULK SHEARS REMAIN AROUND 20-30KTS SO
NOT ANTICIPATING MUCH IN THE WAY OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...THOUGH
COULDNT RULE OUT AN ISOLATED PULSE SEVERE STORM OVER THE
MOUNTAINS PRODUCING PENNY SIZE HAIL.

A MORE DISTINCT SHORTWAVE PROGGED TO MOVE ACROSS CO ON
WEDNESDAY...MEANWHILE SHALLOW COLD FRONT BACKDOORS INTO SE CO
TUESDAY NIGHT/EARLY WEDNESDAY. SE LOW LVL FLOW ADVECTS UPPER 40S
TO LOWER 50 DEW POINTS BACK INTO THE SE PLAINS...THUS CAPES AND
BULK SHEARS SHOULD BE HIGHER. CHALLENGE THIS DAY WILL BE HOW MUCH
STABILIZATION WILL OCCUR BEHIND THE FRONT. NAM-WRF NOT SHOWING
MUCH CIN ACROSS THE SE PLAINS...AND WITH SHORTWAVE MOVING
THROUGH...SHOULD BE ABLE TO OVERCOME WHAT MEAGER CIN IS LEFT.
THUS...KEPT ISOLATED POPS RAMPING UP TO SCATTERED IN THE AFTN
ACROSS THE SE PLAINS. OUT WEST...LOW LVL MOISTURE HANGS IN
ALLOWING ISOLATED TO SCATTERED AFTN THUNDERSTORMS TO REDEVELOP
DURING THE AFTERNOON.

UPPER RIDGE SHIFTS EASTWARD FOR FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...WHICH
SHOULD RESULT IN A WARMING AND DRYING TREND...ESPECIALLY FOR THE
WESTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA.  -KT
