  SCARS...LIKE THE MATO VEGA...WILL HAVE MUDSLIDES EVEN WITH A 
  SMALL AMOUNT OF RAINFALL. 

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

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
959 AM MDT FRI AUG 8 2008

.UPDATE...

...HEAVY RAIN AND THE POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING LIKELY THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING...

CURRENTLY...WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND RUC MODEL UPPER AIR ANALYSES
ARE SHOWING A CYCLONIC SHEAR AXIS ACROSS WESTERN CO AND TRYING TO
MOVE EASTWARD. THIS MAY BE THE TRIGGER FOR MORE ORGANIZED PULSE
OR MULTICELLULAR THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. AN
ABUNDANCE OF DEEP LAYER MOISTURE IS IN PLACE. 700-500MB SPECIFIC
HUMIDITY VALUES WILL BE 7-8 G/KG AND PRECIPITABLE WATER INDICES
OF 0.75 TO 1.00 OVER THE MOUNTAINS/HIGH VALLEYS AND 1.00-1.50
INCHES ALONG I-25 CORRIDOR AND SOUTHEAST CO PLAINS. THE 12Z/08
GJT... ABQ...BOU...AND AMA HAD 168-192% ABOVE NORMAL PRECIPITABLE
WATER IN THE OBSERVATIONAL SOUNDING DATA. FREEZING AND WET BULB
ZERO HEIGHTS ARE 15K-18K FT MSL...SO NOT EXPECTING MUCH IN THE
WAY OF FROZEN PRECIPITATION...SO ALL AVAILABLE MOISTURE SHOULD BE
LIQUID. TOUGH TO PIN-POINT THE EXACT AREA(S) THAT WILL RECEIVE
HEAVY RAIN...BECAUSE IT WILL MOSTLY BE MISO OR MESOSCALE
DRIVEN...BUT ANY CELL MERGERS AND TRAINING WOULD PRODUCE 1-3 PER
HOUR AND THIS IS CLOSE TO 1HR FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE. CELLS SHOULD
BE MOVING A LITTLE FASTER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...INSTEAD OF
3KTS IT COULD BE 13KTS...WHICH COULD LIMIT THE POINT QPF...BUT THE
AIR MASS IS SO SATURATED. THE USUAL MOUNTAIN ROCK/MUDSLIDE AREAS
AND WILDFIRE BURN SCARS WILL BE UNDER THE GUN. THE MATO VEGA BURN
SCAR AROUND LA VETA PASS HAS BEEN PRODUCING DANGEROUS MUD FLOWS.
FURTHERMORE... MUCH OF THE I-25 CORRIDOR HAD HIGH QUALITY RAINFALL
OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS...SO THE SOIL ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS
ARE ALREADY MOIST...AND SOME OF THE RIVERS/CREEKS/STREAMS ARE
FLOWING WITH WATER. THE 00Z/08 4KM NMM-WRF RADAR SIMULATION HAS
CELLS BREAKING OUT OVER THE MOUNTAIN EARLY THIS AFTERNOON WITH A
LINE DEVELOPING JUST WEST OF I-25 CORRIDOR BY MIDAFTERNOON AND
THEN MOVING IN SOUTHEAST CO PLAINS THIS EVENING. WILL GO WITH A
FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE MOUNTAINS/HIGH VALLEYS AND I-25 CORRIDOR
FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WE ARE IN THE TYPICAL FLASH FLOOD
SEASON AND THERE IS PLENTY OF MOISTURE AROUND. METZE

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 334 AM MDT FRI AUG 8 2008/

SHORT TERM...

(TODAY AND TONIGHT)

CWA REMAINS CLOUDY AND WET THIS MORNING...AS SUBTROPICAL PLUME
PERSISTS OVER THE SRN AND CENTRAL ROCKIES...AND UPSLOPE FLOW
CONTINUES IN THE LLVLS OVR THE PLAINS. MAIN PRECIP ATTM IS OCCURRING
OVR THE SERN PLAINS GENERALLY E OF RT 109. SHORT TERM GUIDANCE
SUGGESTS THAT SCT CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE INVOF THIS STATIONARY
BOUNDARY THRU THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. SOME LIGHTER SHWRS OR EVEN
DRIZZLE IS POSSIBLE OVR THE I-25 CORRIDOR WHERE NEARLY SATURATED
CONDITIONS ARE PRESENT. DEWPTS IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOW 60S PRETTY
MUCH DOMINATE THE SFC OBS.

MAIN C51ENGES TODAY WILL BE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL AND
MAX TEMPS THIS AFTERNOON. A WEAK UPPER DISTURBANCE CURRENTLY DRIFTING
THRU NERN UT WILL BE THE MAIN SPARK FOR CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON
THROUGH EARLY EVE. HAVE MAINTAINED HIGH CHANCE POPS WITH LIKELY
PRECIP OVER THE ERN MTS AND SERN PLAINS. PRECIP H20 REMAINS HIGH
AND SOME PRECIP IS A GOOD BET FOR MOST OF THE AREA. IT LOOKS LIKE
THE LLVLS WILL REMAIN NEARLY SATURATED THROUGH THE MORNING AND THIS
WILL LIMIT INSTABILITY ONCE AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON. EXTENSIVE CLOUDS WILL
ALSO LIMIT AFTERNOON TEMPS. H7 FLOW DOES SHIFT TO THE W BY THIS AFTERNOON
AND TEMPS ALOFT CLIMB A FEW DEGREES...SO IF ANY SIGNIFICANT BREAKS
OCCUR IN THE CLOUD COVER THIS AFTERNOON THERE COULD BE A SPIKE IN THE
TEMPS. HAVE GENERALLY MAINTAINED MAXT SOMEWHERE BETWN THE COOLER NAM
GUIDANCE AND WARMER GFS BASED MOS. THIS LEAVES HIGHS IN THE UPPER 70S
TO LOWER 80S FOR THE PLAINS. MTS WILL REMAIN COOL WITH TEMPS IN THE
50S AND 60S. LATEST GUIDANCE IS NOT PARTICULARLY ENTHUSED WITH THE
PROSPECT OF HIGH QPF...BUT WITH SUCH A MOIST ENVIRONMENT WILL MAINTAIN
THE THREAT OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL THIS AFTERNOON...PARTICULARLY
OVR THE ERN MTS AND SERN PLAINS. THREAT FOR HEAVY RAIN SHOULD
DIMINISH THIS EVE AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES INTO KS AND A RIDGE BUILD
EWD. COULD SEE SOME PARTIAL CLEARING OVERNIGHT WITH TEMPS FALLING A
BIT LOWER THAN PAST FEW DAYS. 44

LONG TERM...

(SAT - THU)

..MAIN CONCERN IS ANOTHER BOUNDARY PASSAGE SAT...WITH POTENTIAL FOR SOME
   ORGANIZED CONVECTION SUNDAY...

MAIN CONCERN DURING THE FIRST PART OF THIS TIME PERIOD WILL BE
ANOTHER BOUNDARY COMING DOWN ASSOCIATED WITH A SHORTWAVE THAT IS
CURRENTLY OVER UTAH. LATEST SIMULATIONS SHOW THIS BOUNDARY MOVING
DOWN THE PLAINS DURING THE DAY SATURDAY...WITH LLVL BECOMING
EASTERLY BY LATE IN THE DAY. BASED ON THIS...I HAVE TRENDED POPS
UPWARDS ALONG THE S MTNS/I-25 CORRIDOR LATER IN THE DAY SAT AND I
HAVE ALSO KNOCKED DOWN THE MAX TEMPS A FEW DEGREES ON THE PLAINS
FROM EARLIER FCST. WITH SUPSLOPE BEING ENHANCED LATE IN THE DAY
HAVE MENTIONED THE CHANCE OF SOME HEAVY RAIN ONCE AGAIN ACROSS THE
S MTNS/I-25 CORRIDOR.

FOR SUNDAY...MODELS ARE SHOWING SOMETHING I HAVE NOT SEEN IN QUITE
AWHILE...AND THAT IS FLOW...AT LEAST ALOFT. 60-70 KT DUE ZONAL JET
WILL BISECT THE CWA ON THIS DAY. SOME DEEP SHEAR WILL OBVIOUSLY BE
IN PLACE...SO WE MAY SEE A THREAT OF MORE ORGANIZED DURING THE
AFTERNOON SUNDAY.

FROM MON-WED IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE DRYING OUT A BIT AS MODEST WNW
FLOW DEVELOPS SHUNTING THE MSTR AWAY FROM THE REGION. THIS PATTERN
WILL ALLOW US TO GET BACK TO A MORE DIURNAL PATTERN WITH TEMPS
RETURNING TO SEASONABLE OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE SEASONABLE VALUES.

BY LATE IN THE WEEK EC SHOWING MOISTURE THROUGHOUT THE COLUMN
INCREASING AS SW FLOW REDEVLOPS AND ANOTHER SURGE DROPS IN FROM THE
NORTH. THIS LOOKS REASONABLE AND SEE NO REASON TO DISAGREE WITH ITS
OUTPUT ATTM. THIS IS NOT THE CASE FOR THE GFS MODEL DURING THIS TIME
PD AS IT HAS AN UNREALISTIC 500 MB FLOW PATTERN AND HAVE DISREGARDED
ITS OUTPUT.

AVIATION...

MVFR CIGS WITH LOCAL IFR CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY TO PERSIST
ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH AT LEAST 14Z. WILL SEE GRADUAL LIFTING OF
CIGS LATER THIS MORN. SCT TO NMRS TSTORMS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE
EARLY EVENING...WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY THIS
AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL GENERALLY REMAIN LIGHT EXCEPT INVOF TS
ACTIVITY.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS
THE AREA AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. STORMS WILL BE SLOW
MOVING AND HEAVY RAINFALL WITH LOCALIZED FLOODING WILL BE

WEATHER CONDITIONS THAT MEET REPORTING CRITERIA FOR SPOTTERS MAY BE
POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
