AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
359 AM MDT SUN AUG 10 2008

.SHORT TERM...

(TODAY AND TONIGHT)

...HEAVY RAIN AND FLASH FLOODING POSSIBLE ONCE AGAIN DURING THIS
PERIOD...

CURRENTLY...MCS STILL ONGOING ACROSS FAR SE CO WITH LIGHT TO
MODERATE STEADY RAIN STILL OCCURRING OVER MOST OF BACA COUNTY. LOW
CLOUD/FOG SAT PIX PRODUCT INDICATING LOW CLOUDS OVER MOST OF E
PLAINS. ABUNDANT LLVL MOISTURE OVER PLAINS WITH DWPTS IN THE
U50-U60S. BEST MSTR FARTHER EAST.

TODAY AND TONIGHT...RE-ISSUED FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE S FRONT
RANGE/I-25 CORRIDOR AND E LAS ANIMAS COUNTY. THIS FFA MATCHES UP
WELL WITH FFA ISSUED BY NWS BOU AND NWS ABQ FOR THEIR RESPECTIVE
FRONT RANGE REGIONS. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THE S SANGRES AS SIMULATIONS
ALONG WITH MOS GUIDANCE SHOWING MORE HEAVY RAIN FOR THIS REGION LATE
THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT. OTHER THREAT AREAS WILL BE THE BURN
SCARS...ESPECIALLY THE MATO VEGA NEAR LA VETA PASS. WATER VAPOR SHOWS
MONSOON PLUME STILL OVER REGION...ALTHOUGH WAT VAP SHOWING THE W
PART OF REGION A BIT LESS MOIST. FOR THIS REASON...I DID NOT
ISSUE THE FFA FOR THE C OR SW MTNS. METEOROLOGICALLY...FLOW IS NOW
FCST TO BE A BIT WEAKER THAN WHAT WAS FCST 24H AGO...ALTHOUGH MODEST
CYCLONIC JET AT UPPER LVLS STILL FCST TO BE OVER REGION. THIS
FEATURE SHOULD ALLOW FOR A BIT MORE SYNOPTIC SUPPORT AS DIFLUENCE
IS INFERRED IN THE DATA DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING
TIME PERIOD. ANTICIPATE CONVECTION WILL GET GOING BY EARLY
AFTERNOON ACROSS THE MTNS AND WILL THEN MOVE SLOWLY E WITH TIME.
THIS CONVECTION WILL THEN DEVELOP INTO A HEAVY RAIN PRODUCING MCS
WHICH IS FCTS TO MOVE OVER THE GREATER RATON MESA REGION BY LATE
AFTERNOON AND THEN EWD ACROSS THE FAR SE PLAINS THIS EVENING.

GIVEN THE WEAKER FLOW...THE SVR THREAT LOOKS LESS PROMISING THEN IT
DID 24H AGO. /HODANISH

.LONG TERM...
(MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)

MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...DRYING AND WARMING TREND IS IN STORE
AS THE UPPER RIDGE BUILDS EWD OVR THE 4 CORNERS REGION AND THE
SUBTROPICAL PLUME IS SHUNTED TO THE SW OVR SRN CA AND THE DESERT
SW. ON MON...A WEAK SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE THROUGH THE HIGH PLAINS
AND THIS WILL FIRE UP A FEW AFTERNOON STORMS. THERE WILL BE ENOUGH
SHEAR THAT A FEW ORGANIZED STORMS CANNOT BE RULED OUT. INVERTED
V SOUNDINGS CLOSE TO THE MTS WILL FAVOR HIGH BASED STORMS WITH
THE POSSIBILITY OF STRONG DOWNBURSTS...WHILE A LITTLE DEEPER
MOISTURE OVR THE PLAINS WILL BRING THE POTENTIAL FOR A FEW STRONG
TO SVR STORMS WITH HAIL AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. ON TUE AND
WED...H7 TEMPS REBOUND NICELY TO AROUND 17 DEG C OVER CENTRAL
CO...SO THIS MIDWEEK PERIOD SHOULD FEATURE THE WARMEST WEATHER WITH
THE POTENTIAL FOR A FEW SPOTS REACHING THE HIGH 90S IN THE
AFTERNOON. POPS FALL BACK DOWN TO AROUND CLIMO AS DEWS SETTLE IN
BACK TO THE HIGH 40S AND LOWER 50S. GFS AND NAM PROGS HAVE BEEN
CONSISTENTLY SHOWING MCS ACTIVITY DEVELOP ON THE E SIDE OF THE RIDGE
AS SHORTWAVES RIPPLE THRU THE UPPER MISS VALLEY. SO...HAVE BOOSTED
POPS A BIT OVER THE FAR ERN PLAINS FOR THE OVERNIGHT AND MORNING
HOURS...AS A MODEST LLVL JET STREAMS NWD THRU THE PANHANDLES.

THU THROUGH SAT...GFS AND EC ARE IN REASONABLE AGREEMENT WITH A
RATHER ROBUST TROUGH MOVING THROUGH THE CANADIAN PROVINCES SEWD
THRU THE MISS VALLEY. THIS WILL BRING A COOLING TREND ESPECIALLY FRI
AND SAT...AS H7 TEMPS PLUMMET TO THE MINUS 5 TO MINUS 7 RANGE OVER
THE FAR ERN PLAINS. CURRENTLY HAVE MAINTAINED TEMPS IN THE 80S FOR
THE PLAINS BUT DEPENDING ON MESOSCALE EVENTS AND DEVELOPMENT OF
CLOUDS/PRECIP...COULD END UP EVEN COOLER THAN THAT. HAVE NOT MADE
ANY MAJOR CHANGES TO POPS YET IN THIS PERIOD...BUT WITH BEST TRIGGERS
COMING FROM SHORTWAVES TO THE EAST...WILL HAVE TO START TRENDING
HIGHER POPS OVER THE PLAINS AND AWAY FROM THE MTS IF THIS PATTERN
CONTINUES TO HOLD IN LATER MODEL RUNS. ROSE

&&

.AVIATION...
MAIN CONCERNS WILL BE LOW CIGS/FOG THIS MORNING AT KCOS AND KPUB
(AND POSSIBLY KALS)...THEN LOW CIGS/WIND/VIS WITH STRONGER TSRA THSI
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING.

LOW CLOUD PRODUCT SHOWING LOW CLOUDS MOVG TOWARDS FRONT RANGE.
KABH...BULLSEYE AIRPORT OVER FAR E EL PASO COUNTY...DOWN TO 4SM BR
WITH CIGS BKN004 AT 3 AM. THIS LOW CIG SHOULD WORK ITS WAY WEST
WITH LOW CIGS REACHING KCOS AND KPUB PRIOR TO SUNRISE. MODEL DATA
SHOWS CIGS SHOULD BREAK AROUND 15-16Z. WE MAY ALSO SEE SOME BR
ACROSS KALS BUT THIS IS LESS OF A THREAT.

STRONGER TSRA WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS ALL TAF SITES THIS AFTERNOON
AND EARLY EVENING. STORMS WILL BE MOVING SO LOWER CIGS/VIS SHOULD
ONLY LAST FOR A BRIEF WHILE. FOR NOW WILL ONLY GO WITH VCTS AND LET
LATER SHIFTS INTRODUCE THUNDER AS THREAT MOVES CLOSER TO THE TAF
SITES.
