FLOOD WATCH
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
243 PM MDT FRI JUL 20 2007

FLASH FLOOD PRODUCING HEAVY RAIN EXPECTED ACROSS PORTIONS OF
SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST COLORADO

.MOISTURE HAS INCREASED ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS AND HIGH VALLEYS OF
SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST COLORADO. THIS IN COMBINATION WITH
AFTERNOON HEATING WILL ALLOW SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS
TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE EASTERN SAN JUAN AND LA GARITA MOUNTAINS...
THE UPPER RIO GRANDE VALLEY...THE MOUNTAINS AND VALLEYS OF
CHAFFEE...LAKE...AND FREMONT COUNTIES...AND ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST
MOUNTAINS AND ADJACENT PLAINS ALONG AND WEST OF INTERSTATE 25.
HEAVY RAINFALL FROM THUNDERSTORMS YESTERDAY HAVE SATURATED THE
SOILS IN MANY OF THESE LOCATIONS. ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINFALL FROM
SLOW MOVING THUNDERSTORMS CAN QUICKLY CONTRIBUTE TO RAPID RUN OFF
AND FLASH FLOODING. STEEP CANYONS AND RUN OFF PRONE AREAS SUCH AS
THE HAYMAN...MASON GULCH...MATO VEGA...AND MILLION BURN SCARS
WILL ALSO BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO FLASH FLOODING PROBLEMS.
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO BE LESS WIDESPREAD ALONG AND EAST
OF THE INTERSTATE 25 CORRIDOR TODAY...WHICH SHOULD LIMIT THE
FLASH FLOOD WATCH TO THE HIGHER TERRAIN...AND AREAS WHICH
RECEIVED HEAVY RAINFALL YESTERDAY.

A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT CONDITIONS MAY DEVELOP THAT LEAD
TO FLASH FLOODING. FLASH FLOODING IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

YOU SHOULD MONITOR LATER FORECASTS AND BE PREPARED TO TAKE ACTION
SHOULD FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS BE ISSUED.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
350 AM MDT FRI JUL 20 2007

.SHORT TERM...
(TONIGHT AND FRIDAY)

...HEAVY RAIN AND FLOODING REMAIN A CONCERN THROUGH THIS EVENING...

IMPRESSIVE MCC OVER CO EARLY THIS MORN...WHICH HAS DEVELOPED A LIFE
OF ITS OWN IN THE CENTER OF A BROAD UPPER RIDGE THAT CONTINUES TO
BUILD NORTHWARD THROUGH THE CENTRAL ROCKIES AND HIGH PLAINS. CLOUD
TOPS HAVE STEADILY WARMED THIS MORN...EXCEPT OVER EXTREME SERN
COUNTIES WHERE CONVECTION REMAINS PRETTY ACTIVE ATTM. A LINE SEGMENT
OVER BACA COUNTY WILL MOVE SLOWLY TO THE NW THIS MORN...AND IS LIKELY
PRODUCING SOME PRETTY HEAVY LOCAL RAINFALL AND SMALL HAIL. EVEN
06Z RUNS OF HIGHER RES NAM AND RUC HAVE NOT PICKED UP ON THE CONVECTION
OVER THE SERN PLAINS...WHICH LEAVES LITTLE CONFIDENCE IN SPECIFIC
QPF FORECASTS FOR TODAY.

MAIN AREA OF CONCERN TODAY WILL BE OVER THE ERN MTS AND ADJACENT
PLAINS...WHERE A BROAD AREA RECEIVED 2-4 INCHES OF RAIN YESTERDAY.
WILL ALSO SEE POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING OVER THE ERN SAN
JUANS...LA GARITAS...AND SRN SAWATCH LATER THIS AFTERNOON. THIS
REGION DID NOT RECEIVE AS MUCH RAINFALL YESTERDAY...BUT AS HIGH
SLOWLY SHIFTS TO THE N AND E TODAY...MAY SEE FOCUS FOR HEAVY
CONVECTION SHIFT TO THE WRN RANGES. QPF FROM THE LATEST GUIDANCE IS
NOT THAT HIGH FOR EITHER OF THESE REGIONS TODAY...IN THE .5 TO 1 INCH
RANGE...BUT IT WILL NOT TAKE MUCH WITH ALREADY SATURATED SOILS FOR
FLOODING TO OCCUR WITH ANY STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP. PRECIP H20
IS DOWN A BIT FROM YESTERDAY...BUT STILL IN THE 1.25-1.5 INCH RANGE.
DEWPOINTS REMAIN QUITE HIGH...SATURATED RIGHT NOW AT KPUB WITH A
DEWPT OF 63...AND UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S OVER MUCH OF SWERN CO. EVEN
HIGH VALLEYS ARE IN THE UPR 40S TO LOWER 50S. SO...A WHOLE LOT OF
AVAILABLE MOISTURE TO WORK WITH TODAY.

MAIN PROBLEM IS THAT...UNLIKE YESTERDAY...THERE IS NO REAL SYNOPTIC
FEATURE TO SET OFF PRECIP. MAIN TRIGGER TODAY WILL PROBABLY CONTINUE
TO BE THE WEAK CIRCULATION OVER CO THAT HAS BEEN SETTING OFF SHRA
THROUGH THIS MORNING. TEMPS WILL BE A GOOD 10-12 DEGREES LOWER TODAY
WITH MOISTURE AND HEAVY CLOUD COVER KEEPING THINGS ON THE COOL
SIDE. WENT CLOSE TO THE NAM-BASED MOS FOR TEMPS TODAY. SO...WHILE
THERE IS DEFINITELY POTENTIAL FOR MORE FLOODING TODAY...WILL HOLD
OFF ON ANY WATCHES FOR NOW BUT STRONGLY HIGHLIGHT THE POTENTIAL IN
THE HWO AND GRAPHICAL FORECASTS. LIKE YESTERDAY...WEAK UPPER WINDS
WILL LIMIT STORM MOVEMENT AND THIS COULD BE PROBLEMATIC WITH ANY
STRONG CONVECTION THAT DOES DEVELOP.

SHOULD SEE CONVECTION WIND DOWN A BIT EARLIER THIS EVE...AS THE UPR
HIGH CONTINUES TO BUILD...SETTING THE STAGE FOR A HOT AND RELATIVELY
DRY WEEKEND. ROSE

.LONG TERM...
(SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)

MAIN ISSUES ARE THE USUAL...COVERAGE OF PRECIPITATION AND TEMPERATURES.

SATURDAY...UPPER HIGH FIRMLY IN PLACE OVER COLORADO...BUT WITH
MOISTURE IN THE RIDGE...WOULD EXPECT CONVECTION TO ERUPT AGAIN
FROM THE I-25 CORRIDOR TO THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL MOUNTAINS. WOULD
BET THE FOCUS OF THE HEAVIER RAINFALL WOULD BE ACROSS THE HIGHER
TERRAIN...AS INDICATED BY THE HIGHER CAPES IN THE NAM12. NEED TO
WATCH FOR REPEAT RAINFALL EVENTS...ESPECIALLY OVER THE EASTERN
MOUNTAINS...FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF FLASH FLOODING. HAVE LOWERED
HIGH TEMPERATURES...PER NEW GUIDANCE...AND THE FACT THAT THE
GROUND IS WET ALONG THE I-25 CORRIDOR...AND OTHER AREAS IN THE
MOUNTAINS AND SOUTHEAST.

SUNDAY...THE UPPER FLOW IS WEAK...AT THE CENTER OF THE RIDGE...SO
ANY DEEP CONVECTION WILL MOVE SLOWLY...AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS
ARE AGAIN PROBABLE. FOCUS OF RAINFALL AGAIN WILL BE IN THE
MOUNTAINS AND HIGH VALLEYS. COVERAGE OF RAIN ON NAM12 LESS...AND
MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES A TAD HIGHER....SO KEPT GOING FORECAST OF
THE WARMER WEEKEND DAY INTACT.

GUIDANCE HAS DEEP EASTERLY FLOW ON MONDAY...SO PRECIPITATION
SHOULD BE CONFINED TO THE I-25 CORRIDOR AND WESTWARD. TEMPERATURES
SHOULD SOAR WELL INTO THE 90S ACROSS THE PLAINS...WITH 80S TO 60S
IN THE HIGH VALLEYS AND MOUNTAINS.

FOR THE REST OF THE FORECAST PERIOD...LITTLE CHANGE...WITH MID
LEVELS TEMPERATURES HOVERING BETWEEN 14 AND 18 DEGREES
CELSIUS...AND DAILY CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE
EASTERN MOUNTAINS TO THE SAWATCH RANGE AND EASTERN SAN JUANS...AS
UPPER RIDGE MOVES LITTLE.

&&

.AVIATION...MAIN CONCERN WILL BE LOW CIGS THIS MORNING OVER MUCH OF
THE SERN PLAINS...AND POTENTIAL FOR WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAINFALL
ONCE AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. PATCHY FOG EARLY THIS MORN
SHOULD BE LIMITED TO THE HYR TRRN AND WILL DISSIPATE LATER THIS MORN.
CONCERN THIS AFTERNOON WILL SHIFT TO AREAS OF IFR VIS IN NUMEROUS
THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON. BEST POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY
RAINFALL AND SMALL HAIL WILL BE OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND ADJACENT
PLAINS.

.PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NONE.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL...EAST
CENTRAL...SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST COLORADO.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED OVER THE SOUTHEAST COLORADO
PLAINS TODAY THROUGH THIS EVENING. SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS
THUNDERSTORMS ARE FORECAST OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND HIGH VALLEYS.
SOME OF THESE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO PRODUCE LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL...WHICH WILL LEAD TO THE POTENTIAL FOR FLASH
FLOODING...PARTICULARLY OVER THOSE AREAS THAT RECEIVED
SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL ON THURSDAY. THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL IS
EXPECTED OVER PORTIONS OF SAGUACHE...CHAFFEE...LAKE...
FREMONT...CUSTER AND HUERFANO COUNTIES THIS AFTERNOON. RAINFALL
IN MOUNTAINOUS REGIONS WILL LEAD TO THE THREAT OF ROCK SLIDES AND
MUDSLIDES. HAIL UNDER 3/4 INCH IN DIAMETER AND FREQUENT CLOUD TO
GROUND LIGHTNING CAN ALSO BE EXPECTED WITH THE STRONGER STORMS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY

ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE EACH
AFTERNOON AND EVENING...MAINLY FROM THE WEST OF THE I-25 CORRIDOR.
THE MAIN THREATS WILL BE CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING...LOCALLY
HEAVY RAIN...AND LOCALLY GUSTY WINDS TO 50 MPH.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

WEATHER CONDITIONS THAT MEET REPORTING CRITERIA FOR SPOTTERS WILL BE
POSSIBLE FROM LATE THIS MORNING THROUGH THE EVENING.
