Area forecast discussion, Jul 10, 2:18 PM MDT, 3 hours 51 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO 218 PM MDT MON JUL 10 2006 .SHORT TERM... (TONIGHT AND TUESDAY) MAIN CONCERNS ARE HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL AND PCPN CHANCES. UPR TROF IS MOVING ACRS THE STATE TODAY. DEW POINT TEMPS TODAY ARE STILL HIGH...IN THE 50S AND LOWER 60S ACRS THE ERN AREAS. HOWEVER...ALOFT THINGS ARE A LITTLE DRIER AND THUS CONVECTION HAS BEEN A LITTLE SLOWER TO DEVELOP AND THE COVERAGE IS MUCH LESS. WL GO WITH SCT POPS MOST AREAS THIS EVENING. THE AIR MASS OVR THE AREA IS STILL MOIST ENOUGH THAT HEAVY RAIN IS AGAIN POSSIBLE. HOWEVER THE WRLY UPR FLOW IS A LITTLE STRONGER TODAY AND STORMS COULD MOVE A LITTLE FASTER AND THUS POSSIBLY REDUCING THE CHANCES FOR FLASH FLOODING. AS FOR FLOODING ON THE ARKANSAS RIVER...RECENT HEAVY RAINS AND RELEASES FROM THE PUEBLO DAM PUSHED THE RIVER ABOVE FLOOD STAGE AT AVONDALE...BUT THE RIVER GAUGE AT AVONDALE NOW INDICATES THE RIVER IS JUST STARTING TO DROP BELOW FLOOD STAGE. AT LA JUNTA...THE RIVER IS FORECAST TO CREST AT FLOOD STAGE TOMORROW EVENING. SHOULD SEE MOST OF THE PCPN END BY LATE NIGHT ACRS THE AREA. OVERNIGHT AN UPR RIDGE WL BUILD OVR THE AREA. FOR TUE SPECIFIC HUMIDITIES DROP A LITTLE MORE...AND DEW POINTS WL ALSO BE LOWER...IN THE 40S AND LOWER 50S. WITH THE RIDGE BUILDING...TEMPS AT 700MB WARM A COUPLE DEGREES. THERE WILL STILL BE ENOUGH MSTR AND INSTABILITY ON TUE FOR AT LEAST ISOLD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...ESPECIALLY OVR THE MTS AND NEARBY LOWER ELEVATIONS. 28 .LONG TERM... (TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY) ...OUT OF THE FLOOD AND INTO THE FLAME... THE UPPER RIDGE WILL TAKE ITS TIME REBUILDING...AS A FAIRLY STRONG NORTHERN JET MOVES THROUGH THE PAC NW DURING THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. NAM/WRF BRINGS A SHORTWAVE TROUGH THROUGH SW KS WED NI-THU MORN...LEADING TO MODERATE QPF OVER THE SE PLAINS. GFS AND CANADIAN ALSO HAVE THIS FEATURE...BUT IT IS CONSIDERABLY WEAKER...AND MUCH FURTHER TO THE EAST IN THE GFS SOLUTION. WILL HAVE TO WATCH MODEL TRENDS FOR THIS TIME FRAME...BUT FOR NOW LOOKS LIKE PRETTY LOW POPS ARE WARRANTED. MAIN STORY FOR THE EXTENDED WILL BE THE RETURN OF HOT AND DRY WEATHER FOR SE CO. LATEST GFS HAS COME AROUND TO THE ECMWF SOLUTION OF STRONG RIDGE BUILDING OVER THE S PLAINS. UPPER HIGH LOOKS TO BE ANCHORED OVER CO BY THE END OF THE WEEK. H7 TEMPS OF 20+ DEG CELSIUS APPEAR OVER THE WEEKEND...LEADING TO MOS PROJECTIONS OF 100+ DEGREES FOR THE ARKANSAS VLLY SAT AND SUN. DRIEST AIR WILL REMAIN TO N AND W...SO WILL SEE JUST ENOUGH MID LEVEL MOISTURE UNDER THE RIDGE TO KEEP LOW DIURNAL MTN POPS GOING THROUGH THE EXTENDED. ROSE && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && 28/44
