Area forecast discussion, Jun 9, 2:56 PM MDT, 50 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO 256 PM MDT SAT JUN 9 2007 .SHORT TERM... (TONIGHT AND SUNDAY) SHORT TERM CONCERNS INCLUDE THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE AND SEVERE POTENTIAL CURRENTLY THUNDERSTORMS FIRING AHEAD OF LITTLE SHORT WAVES THAT ARE GOING AROUND THE BACK SIDE OF THE TEXAS HIGH PRESSURE AREA. LIMITED SHEAR BUT ANALYSIS SUGGESTS INCREASING CAPE OVER SOUTHEAST SECTIONS. STORMS MOVING INTO BETTER MOISTURE AND WITH ADDITIONAL HEATING COULD SEE SOME BIG HAILERS. TONIGHT...WAVE IN THE SW FLOW CONTINUES TO MOVE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA AND WILL KEEP THREAT GOING INTO THE EVENING. MODELS DIFFER ON HOW AND WHERE CONVECTION WILL BE THE BEST COVERAGE. NAM SUGGESTED SOUTHWEST MOUNTAINS WITH ANOTHER MAX OVER SOUTHEAST CORNER. GFS FOCUSED MORE ON THE SOUTHEAST. EITHER WAY LOOKS LIKE SOUTHEAST WILL BE THE AREA TO WATCH. SUNDAY...WITH NOT MUCH CHANGE IN THE PATTERN IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO TIME THOSE PESKY SHORT WAVES. MODELS TAKE UPPER LOW AND DROP IT SOUTH WHICH ALLOWS THE UPPER RIDGE TO EXTEND FARTHER NORTH WEST. THIS COULD DECREASE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY AS SHORT WAVES STAY WEST AND NORTH OF THE CWFA. MODELS ARE ALL PRETTY DRY FOR SUNDAY BUT HELD ON TO EXISTING POPS RATHER THAN RISK TAKING THEM OUT AND HAVING TO PUT THEM BACK IN. .LONG TERM... (SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY) ONGOING CONVECTION NEEDS TO BE WATCHED...SO DISCUSSION WILL BE FAIRLY BRIEF. SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT AND INSTABILITY SUNDAY NIGHT WILL CARRY ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS...FOLLOWED BY DRY WEA AFTER MIDNIGHT. ON MONDAY...SOUTHWESTERN TROUGH STILL A WAYS OFF...BUT WITH STRONG ISOLATION AND SOME MOISTURE...CONVECTION WILL FIRE MIDDAY...AND AGAIN LAST THROUGH THE EVENING. HOWEVER...WITH APPROACHING TROUGH...THE CONVECTION MAY LINGER LONGER THROUGH THE MIDNIGHT HOUR...AND BE SCATTERED THROUGH OUR WESTERN MOUNTAINS TO DAYBREAK TUESDAY. ON TUESDAY...TROUGH MOVES INTO THE AREA...AND GFS HAS IT MOVING QUITE SLOWLY...NOT REALLY LOSING INFLUENCE UNTIL WEDNESDAY EVENING. POPS TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING MOSTLY IN THE LOW SCATTERED CATEGORY...WITH LIFT...COOLER TEMPERATURES ALOFT. THE NEW GFS RUN IS SLOWER THAN PREVIOUS RUNS...BUT SURROUNDING OFFICES HAVE NOT FOLLOWED THAT...SO WILL CONTINUE WITH LOWER CHANCES FOR RAIN ON WEDNESDAY. MODELS HAVE NOT BEEN CONSISTENT ANYWAY...SO THE NEXT RUN COULD DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT. RIDGE GRADUALLY BUILDS IN FOR NEXT WEEKEND WITH ELEVATING MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES...WHICH WILL YIELD 80S TO LOWER 90S ACROSS THE PLAINS...AND 50S TO UPPER 70S IN THE MOUNTAINS AND HIGH VALLEYS. && .AVIATION...THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ALONG AND EAST OF THE MOUNTAINS WILL BE THE BIGGEST CONCERN THROUGH 06Z. LOOKS LIKE BEST COVERAGE WILL BE SOUTH OF A KPUB-KGCK LINE. AFTER 06Z STORMS SHOULD DISSIPATE WITH LESS COVERAGE ON SUNDAY. && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && 21/13
