AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
443 AM MDT MON MAY 28 2007

.SHORT TERM...
(TODAY AND TONIGHT)

CONVECTION LAST EVENING GOT PRETTY ORGANIZED OVER
LINCOLN...CHEYENNE...KIOWA...AND NORTHERN PROWERS COUNTIES...DUMPING
AT LEAST 1 TO 3 INCHES OF WIDESPREAD RAINFALL ACROSS THE BIG SANDY
CREEK BASIN.  RADAR INDICATES POSSIBLY MORE.  SMALL STREAM FLOOD
ADVISORY IN EFFECT FOR THE BIG SANDY BASIN UNTIL 715 AM MDT. BIG
SANDY ORIGINATES OVER NORTHEAST EL PASO COUNTY AND DUMPS INTO THE
ARKANSAS BETWEEN LAMAR AND GRANADA. REPORTS FROM PROWERS COUNTY
INDICATE NO KNOWN PROBLEMS ON THE BIG SANDY YET BUT THEY ARE
CONTINUING TO MONITOR.

TODAY HAS BECOME COMPLICATED NOW BY THE MINI MCS THAT FORMED OVER
THE EAST CENTRAL COLORADO PLAINS LAST NIGHT.  ANTICYCLONIC FLOW
AROUND THE MCS SHOT EASTERLY UPSLOPE WINDS INTO KPUX AND KCOS
OVERNIGHT...BRINGING IN SOME LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND EVEN SOME LOW
CLOUDS.  KPUX HAD A BROKEN LOW CLOUD DECK A COUPLE HOURS AGO...AND
KCOS STILL HAS LOW OVERCAST.  DEWS ARE IN THE LOWER 50S.  MODELS
INDICATE MORE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED CONVECTION DEVELOPING OVER THE
MOUNTAINS THIS AFTERNOON...SPREADING EAST ACROSS THE I-25 CORRIDOR
AND PLAINS THIS EVENING.  WITH ADDED LOW LEVEL MOISTURE FROM MCS
COULD BE A FEW PULSE SEVERE STORMS THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING.
ALSO...HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL AGAIN.  SO...ANOTHER ACTIVE AFTERNOON
AND EVENING IS EXPECTED.  ACTIVITY SHOULD DRIFT EAST ACROSS THE
PLAINS TONIGHT...GRADUALLY DISSIPATING WITH TIME.

TEMPERATURES SHOULD CLIMB INTO THE 80S MOST LOCATIONS OF THE EAST
TODAY...WITH 50S...60S...70S MOUNTAINS.  HOWEVER...ANY PERSISTENT
LOW CLOUDS COULD PUT A DAMPER ON SOME OF THAT WARMING.  IN
GENERAL...I THINK THE LOW CLOUDS SHOULD DISSIPATE PRETTY
QUICKLY...NOT HAMPERING WARMING TOO MUCH.

.LONG TERM...
(TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)

INTERESTING CHANGES IN THE MODEL OUTPUT FROM ONE DAY TO ANOTHER. GFS
AND NAM MODELS NOW INDICATE THAT THE UPPER LOW DROPS DOWN ACROSS
MONTANA AND THE DAKOTAS ON TUE...AND THEN IT BASICALLY STAYS IN THE
VICINITY INTO FRI. THIS HAS A HUGE IMPACT ON THE FORECAST FOR LATER
IN THE WEEK.

TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...SFC COLD FRONT IS STILL EXPECTED TO DROP
DOWN EASTERN COLORADO TUESDAY...BUT NOW LOOKS TO BE A BIT EARLIER IN
THE DAY...WITH A SECONDARY REINFORCING BLAST OF COOLER AIR ON WED.
RESULTING EASTERLY UPSLOPE FLOW AND LLVL MOISTURE SHOULD PRODUCE
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE E MTS AND PLAINS
BEGINNING TUE AFTN...AND LASTING THROUGH WED BEFORE TAPERING OFF
THAT NIGHT. INCREASED CLOUD COVER AND PCPN POTENTIAL HAS LOWERED
EXPECTED MAX TEMPS...WITH HIGHS IN THE 70S FOR TUE MOST AREAS...AND
IN THE 60S ON WED. LOWERED MAX TEMPS AS PER LATEST NUMERICAL
GUIDANCE...AS WELL AS INCREASED POPS.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...AS MENTIONED ABOVE...MODELS ARE NOW HINTING AT
THE POTENTIAL FOR UPSLOPE AND PCPN THROUGH FRI AS THE UPPER LOW
LINGERS OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS. INSTEAD OF ACCEPTING THIS SOLUTION
RIGHT AWAY...WILL INTRODUCE ISOLATED POPS ALL AREAS THESE DAYS AS
WELL AS BRING TEMPS CLOSER TO GUIDANCE.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...LONG RANGE MODELS STILL INDICATE THAT THE
RIDGE WILL DEVELOP OVER THE SW US OVER THE WEEKEND...BUT ALSO POINT
TO SOME MID LEVEL MOISTURE TRAPPED UNDER THE RIDGE TRYING TO EASE
BACK UP ACROSS THE PANHANDLES INTO E CO. FOR NOW...ISOLATED POPS
OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN AND WARM TEMPS LOOK REASONABLE. MOORE

&&

.AVIATION...

MAIN CONCERN IS SOME IFR CIGS/VSBYS AROUND KCOS AND FARTHER EAST
ACROSS THE PLAINS. THE MCS COMPLEX MENTIONED IN THE SHORT TERM
DISCUSSION...SHOT SOME MOIST LOW LEVEL UPSLOPE WINDS UP AGAINST
THE MOUNTAINS OVERNIGHT...BRINGING IN A LOW CLOUD DECK. KCOS STILL
HAS A 900 FOOT CIG...WITH SOUTHEAST WINDS HOLDING THE CLOUDS IN
PLACE. KPUB HAD AN 1800 FOOT BROKEN DECK AND EAST WINDS EARLIER IN
THE NIGHT. THE LOW CLOUDS HAVE SINCE DISSIPATED WITH THE RETURN OF
LIGHT WEST WINDS. FARTHER EAST ACROSS THE PLAINS...THERE ARE MORE
AREAS OF IFR/LIFR CIGS/VSBYS FROM KLAA TO KGCK. IN GENERAL...LOW
CLOUDS SHOULD DISSIPATE PRETTY QUICKLY AFTER SUNRISE NEAR THE
MOUNTAINS AND BY MID TO LATE MORNING FARTHER EAST.

OTHER CONCERN TODAY REMAINS THUNDERSTORMS...WITH THE MAIN THREATS
BEING WIND GUSTS TO 60 MPH OR GREATER...PENNEY SIZE HAIL...HEAVY
RAIN...LCL LOW CIGS/VSBYS...AND LIGHTNING.  WINDOW FOR STRONG
CONVECTION LOOKS TO BE FROM 3PM AND MIDNIGHT. LW
