AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
308 PM MDT SAT AUG 11 2007

.SHORT TERM...
(TONIGHT AND SUNDAY)

CURRENTLY...THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER TX CONTINUED TO
BE THE MAIN INFLUENCE FOR THE REGION...KEEPING HOT AND PREDOMINANTLY
DRY WX IN PLACE. A SWATH OF MOISTURE LAY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
PORTIONS OF COLORADO...AS PER WV SATELLITE IMAGERY...AND COMBINED
WITH H5 VORT WAS TRIGGERING SOME ISOLATED STORMS OVER THE SOUTHERN
SANGRES AND S SAN LUIS VALLEY THIS AFTN. TEMPS HAVE WARMED QUICKLY
WITH 70S AND 80S FOR THE MTS AND HIGH VALLEYS...90S TO AROUND 100
FOR THE E PLAINS. A BOUNDARY THAT DROPPED DOWN THE E HALF OF THE
STATE THIS MORNING HAS PRODUCED A MARKED DRYLINE FOR THE FAR
EAST...WITH DEWPOINTS AROUND 60 F FOR KLAA...AND MID TO UPPER 30S
FOR KLHX AND WEST.

TONIGHT AND TOMORROW...NO CHANGE IN THE UPPER PATTERN AS THE RIDGE
REMAINS STAGNANT. WHAT CHANGES IS THAT SFC WINDS SWITCH AROUND TO A
S DIRECTION AND ACT TO DRAW LLVL MOISTURE UP ACROSS THE E PLAINS.
WHILE MOISTURE PLUME REMAINS ACROSS THE MTS AND HIGH TERRAIN THROUGH
TOMORROW...INCREASED MOISTURE FOR THE PLAINS KEEPS THE AVAILABLE
CAPE HIGH. NO REAL UPPER SUPPORT TO TRIGGER CONVECTION...SO MAIN
DRIVING FORCE WILL BE SOLAR HEATING. THEREFORE...CONVECTION SHOULD
BEGIN DYING DOWN SOON AFTER SUNSET...CONTINUING THE LATEST OVER THE
CONTDVD. CLEARING SKIES OVERNIGHT...THEN REPEAT FOR SUNDAY AFTERNOON
WITH PERHAPS A SLIGHTLY GREATER CHANCE FOR CONVECTION...THOUGH WILL
KEEP POPS AT ISOLATED FOR NOW. 850 AND 700 MB TEMP CHARTS INDICATE
MAX TEMPS AT OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE READINGS TODAY...WHICH MEANS UPPER
70S TO MID 80S FOR THE HIGHER TERRAIN...90S TO AROUND 100 F FOR THE
PLAINS. LATEST MAV NUMERICAL GUIDANCE CAME IN REALLY HOT FOR
TOMORROW...BUT WENT WITH FORECAST MAX TEMPS JUST A BIT BELOW. WILL
NOTE THAT HIGHEST FORECAST CAPE VALUES LIE ALONG THE CO/KS
BORDER...WHICH MAKES SENSE AS PER DEWPOINTS FROM SFC OBS...SO WILL
ADVISE INCOMING CREW ON THIS POTENTIAL FOCUS AREA FOR STRONG
CONVECTION. MOORE

.LONG TERM...
(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT SATURDAY)

UPPER RIDGE REMAINS THE DOMINANT WEATHER FEATURE THROUGH THE NEXT
7 DAYS...WITH ONLY MINOR FLUCTUATIONS IN TEMPS AND PRECIP CHANCES
EXPECTED. CENTER OF THE UPPER HIGH WOBBLES BACK WESTWARD INTO
COLORADO ON MONDAY...WITH HEIGHTS CLIMBING 10-20 METERS BY LATE
AFTERNOON. MONDAY COULD BE THE WARMEST DAY OF THE WEEK IF THIS
VERIFIES...WITH 100F DEGREE READINGS WIDESPREAD ON THE
PLAINS...THOUGH MAV FCSTS OF 105F ACROSS THE LOWER ARKANSAS VALLEY
LOOK A LITTLE TOO HOT GIVEN 700 MB TEMPS REMAINING BELOW 20C. MID LEVEL
MOISTURE PLUME REMAINS IN PLACE WITH AFTERNOON STORMS OVER THE
MOUNTAINS ONCE AGAIN...THOUGH EASTERLY STEERING CURRENTS SUGGEST
STORMS WILL STRUGGLE TO EVEN MAKE IT TO I-25 BY EVENING. HEIGHTS
FALL SLIGHTLY TUE/WED AS RIDGE WOBBLES BACK EAST...WHICH SHOULD
LEAD TO SLIGHTLY COOLER MAX TEMPS AND A SMALL UPTURN IN CONVECTIVE
CHANCES OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND I-25 CORRIDOR. 12Z GFS HAS BACKED
OFF OF FRONTAL PASSAGE WED NIGHT/THU...WITH FRONT WASHING OUT
ALONG THE PALMER DIVIDE DURING THE DAY THURSDAY. MIGHT NEED TO
LOWER POPS OVER THE PLAINS FOR LATE WEEK IF THIS VERIFIES...AS GFS
NOW SHOWS A FAIRLY LARGE AREA OF DRIER AIR SPREADING NORTH OUT OF
WEST TEXAS ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS THU/FRI. MAX TEMPS THU-
SAT...WHILE STILL VERY WARM...LOOK TO REMAIN JUST BELOW THE
CENTURY MARK ON THE PLAINS THROUGH THE PERIOD. USUAL ISOLATED TO
LOW SCATTERED POPS OVER THE MOUNTAINS LOOK FINE FOR NOW.

&&

AVIATION...
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS FOR KALS...KCOS AND KPUB THROUGH 03Z THIS
EVENING...WITH THE GREATEST EXPECTED THREAT BEING ERRATIC GUSTS TO
AROUND 45KT AND CG LTG. NORMAL DIURNAL SFC WINDS SHOULD SET IN BY
06Z ALL LOCATIONS. CONVECTION THREAT WILL RETURN FOR KALS BY 18Z
TOMORROW...AND FOR KCOS AND KPUB BY 21Z SUNDAY.
