* THROUGH THIS EVENING

* A STRONG UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE...DEEP ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE...

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.

.SHORT TERM...
(TODAY AND TONIGHT)

...FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL TODAY...FLOOD WATCH FOR POSSIBLE FLASH
FLOODING FROM NOON TO MIDNIGHT...
...ALSO POTENTIAL FOR MORE SEVERE WIND GUSTS...MARGINALLY LARGE
HAIL...

WILL GO AHEAD WITH A FLOOD WATCH FOR FLASH FLOODING FOR THE
MOUNTAINS AND ADJACENT PLAINS FROM NOON TODAY UNTIL MIDNIGHT.
WATER VAPOR PICTURES SHOW WHAT LOOKS LIKE A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT
MONSOONAL SHORTWAVE SPINNING OVER SOUTHWEST NEW MEXICO THIS
MORNING.  THIS DEPRESSION IS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT I HAVE SEEN IN
DAYS AND IS PICKED UP SOLIDLY BY BOTH THE NAM12 AND GFS40.  BOTH
MODELS EJECT IT NORTHEAST ACROSS COLORADO DURING THE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING HOURS.  THE GFS40 HAS MUCH HIGHER QPF THAN THE NAM12...BUT
BOTH MODELS INDICATE FAIRLY WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION.  THE NATURE OF
THE RECENT MONSOON COUPLED WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES BETWEEN 1
AND 1.5 INCHES WOULD SUPPORT QPF MORE ALONG THE LINES OF THE
GFS40...AT LEAST ON A LOCALIZED CONVECTIVE SCALE.  THERE HAS ALREADY
BEEN HEAVY RAINFALL OVER MUCH OF THE MOUNTAINS AND ADJACENT PLAINS
IN RECENT DAYS.  SOILS ARE SATURATED IN MANY AREAS AND STREAMS ARE
RUNNING FULL.  THE PROSPECT OF ANOTHER...POSSIBLY MORE
INTENSE...ROUND OF CONVECTIVE RAINS OVER ALREADY SATURATED
AREAS...SPELLED FLOOD WATCH TO ME.

OPTED NOT TO INCLUDE THE PLAINS FARTHER EAST.  RAINS OUT EAST HAVE
GENERALLY BEEN MORE SPOTTY IN RECENT DAYS.  YESTERDAY DID SEE AN
INCREASE IN COVERAGE...BUT WOULD SUSPECT THAT CONDITIONS OUT THAT
WAY ARE STILL CONSIDERABLY LESS SATURATED.

ONE THING THAT MAY WORK AGAINST THE FLOOD POTENTIAL IS THE UPPER
LEVEL WIND FLOW.  IT HAS INCREASED OVER THE PAST 24-36
HOURS...YIELDING BETTER STORM MOVEMENT.  STORMS HAVE BEEN MOVING
ALONG AT A GOOD CLIP (20-25 MPH)...KEEPING LOCAL RAINFALL TOTALS
DOWN...DESPITE INTENSE INSTANTANEOUS RATES.  THIS MAY BE A FACTOR
AGAIN TODAY.  HOWEVER...THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT TRIGGER AND AMPLE
MOISTURE TO WORK WITH...SO STORM MOVEMENT MAY END UP MOOT.  REPEATED
DEVELOPMENT OF FAST MOVING...INTENSE RAINERS...OVER THE SAME AREAS
WILL TEND TO NEGATE THE LIMITING EFFECTS OF FAST STORM MOTIONS.
SO...BEST CALL IS A FLOOD WATCH FOR FLASH FLOODING.

WITH THE INCREASED WIND SPEEDS ALOFT...WE WILL ALSO BE LOOKING AT
INCREASE POTENTIAL FOR SOME SEVERE WEATHER TODAY...MUCH LIKE WHAT
OCCURRED YESTERDAY.  THAT IS...COULD BE LOOKING AT A FEW SEVERE
STORMS...PRODUCING WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH AND HAIL 3/4-1
INCH IN DIAMETER.

BY MIDNIGHT OR SO...LOOKS LIKE MUCH DRIER AIR WILL BE SPREADING IN
FROM THE WEST.  THIS SHOULD BRING AN END TO THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY...WITH PLENTY OF STARS APPEARING. LW

.LONG TERM...
(WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY)

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...MODELS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT THIS
MORNING IN SLIDING THE UPPER RIDGE WEST TOWARDS THE DESERT
SW...HELPING TO DRY OUT AND WARM UP THE REGION. THEREFORE...LESSENED
CLOUD COVER AND WENT WITH LOW ISOLATED POPS BOTH DAYS...MAINLY AFTN
AND EVE OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN AND NEARBY PLAINS. WAS TEMPTED TO
PULL POPS COMPLETELY FOR THE PLAINS...BUT DECIDED AGAINST DUE TO
ABUNDANT SOLAR HEATING. SHOULD BE CLOSER TO THE DIURNAL PATTERN THE
CWA USUALLY EXPERIENCES...WITH MAX TEMPS IN THE 70S AND 80S FOR THE
MTS AND HIGH VALLEYS...AND 90S PUSHING 100 F FOR THE PLAINS.

FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...THE RIDGE LINGERS IN THE AREA THROUGH THE
WEEKEND...AND AT TIMES LOOKS TO BE DIRECTLY OVERHEAD. CONTINUED HOT
TEMPS...WITH MUCH OF THE PLAINS MOST LIKELY SEEING AROUND 100
DEGREES FOR A MAX. ONLY CHANGE IS THAT MODELS ARE CONTINUING TO SHOW
MOISTURE SNEAKING BACK UP UNDER THE RIDGE...PRODUCING A SLIGHTLY
BETTER CHANCE FOR CONVECTION. AT THIS TIME PROBABILITY STILL LOOKS
ONLY ISOLATED...BUT SPREAD IT OUT A BIT WIDER AND INCREASED CLOUD
COVER TO SHOW MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES AFTN AND EVE. AS THE WEEKEND NEARS
POP FORECAST WILL HAVE TO BE REVISITED. MOORE

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

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS SOUTHERN COLORADO THIS
AFTERNOON...CONTINUING INTO THIS EVENING.  ONCE AGAIN...THE PRIMARY
THREATS FROM ANY STORMS FORMING TODAY ARE HEAVY RAIN...LOCALIZED
