AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
335 AM MDT FRI AUG 1 2008

.SHORT TERM...
(TODAY AND TONIGHT)

MAIN CONCERNS REVOLVE AROUND THE POTENTIAL FOR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS.  ANOTHER GENERALLY DRY AND HOT DAY IS IN STORE FOR THE
FORECAST AREA AS THE UPR RIDGE REMAINS CENTERED OVR THE AREA.  THE
SFC PRESSURE GRADIENT WL INCREASE OVR SERN PLAINS TODAY AND IT LOOKS
LIKE WIND GUSTS COULD BE AROUND 25 MPH WHICH IS THE WIND CRITERIA
FOR A RED FLAG. THE WINDS MAY BE MARGINAL OVR SOME AREAS OF THE SERN
PLAINS...LIKE PORTIONS OF PUEBLO AND EL PASO COUNTIES.  H7 TEMPS ARE
FORECAST TO RANGE FROM AROUND 17C OVR THE FAR SERN CORNER OF CO TO
22C OVR CENTRAL CO. THIS IS MUCH LIKE YESTERDAY...BUT OVR SOME AREAS
IT WL BE A DEGREE OR TWO WARMER THAN ON THU.  HIGH TEMPS OVR THE
SERN PLAINS WL AGAIN BE IN THE UPR 90S TO LOWER 100S...WITH MID 80S
TO LOWER 90S IN THE SAN LUIS VALLEY.  COULD SEE SOME RECORDS BROKEN
OR TIED TODAY. RECORD HIGHS TODAY...FOR COS 96...FOR PUB 103...AND
FOR ALS 89. WITH THESE HOT TEMPS AND DEW POINTS EXPECTED TO BE IN
THE 30S TO LOWER 40S IN THE AFTERNOON...RH VALUES WL BE BELOW 15
PERCENT OVR MOST OF THE LOWER ELEVATIONS.  WITH THE VERY LOW RH
VALUES...AND WIND BEING CLOSE TO OR EXCEEDING CRITERIA...HAVE
DECIDED TO UPGRADE THE FIRE WEATHER WATCH TO A RED FLAG
WARNING...AND WL ADD FIRE ZONE 226 TO BETTER MATCH UP WITH BOULDERS
RED FLAG WARNING.  THERE IS PROBABLY LITTLE CHANCE FOR MEASURABLE
PCPN TODAY...BUT CANNOT RULE OUT SOME ISOLD SHOWERS/TSTMS OVR THE
MTS.

.LONG TERM...
(SATURDAY-THURSDAY)

SATURDAY-SUNDAY...NOT MUCH CHANGE IN FORECAST THINKING AS HOT AND
MAINLY DRY PATTERN PROGGED ACROSS THE AREA SATURDAY WITH LARGE 595+
DM UPPER HIGH ACROSS THE STATE. MODELS CONTINUE TO SLOWLY DRIFT THE
UPPER HIGH SOUTH AND EAST INTO THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS
ON SUNDAY...AS A BROAD UPPER TROUGH ACROSS THE PAC NORTHWEST BEGINS
TO MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHERN ROCKIES. EJECTING SHORT WAVE FROM PAC
NORTHWEST SYSTEM TO DEVELOP LEE TROUGHING ACROSS THE HIGH
PLAINS...WITH MODELS CONSISTENT IN DEVELOPING GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS
OF 15 TO 30 MPH ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND
WITH CRITICAL FUELS AND LOW AFTERNOON HUMIDITIES PROGGED...HAVE
ISSUED A FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR THE FAR EASTERN PLAINS FROM 18Z SAT
TO 03Z SUNDAY. PATTERN TO KEEP THE BULK OF MONSOON MOISTURE PLUME
SOUTH AND WEST OF THE AREA ON SATURDAY...WITH SOME INCREASE IN
AVAILABLE MOISTURE...MAINLY ACROSS SOUTHWESTERN AND CENTRAL
COLORADO...ON SUNDAY WITH DEVELOPING SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT.
WITH STRONG JULY SUNSHINE...CANT RULE OUT ISOLATED CONVECTION ACROSS
THE HIGHER TERRAIN...THOUGH WITH THE WARM AIR ALOFT (18C TO 22C AT
H7) LOOKS LIKE THE FAR EASTERN PLAINS TO REMAIN CAPPED. WITH THE
WARM AIR IN PLACE...WILL BE FLIRTING WITH RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES
AGAIN ON SATURDAY WITH RECORDS FOR ALS...COS AND PUB RESPECTFULLY
89...98...AND 104. EXPECTING ONLY SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES ON
SUNDAY WITH MORE CONVECTIVE CLOUD COVER EXPECTED.

MONDAY-THURSDAY...AGAIN MANY CHANGES TO CURRENT FORECAST AS
AVAILABLE MOISTURE CONTINUES TO SLOWLY INCREASE ACROSS THE STATE AS
THE UPPER LEVEL HIGH CONTINUES TO REMAIN JUST SOUTH AND EAST OF THE
AREA ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS. MODELS IN BETTER AGREEMENT
WITH BROAD UPPER TROUGH TRAVERSING ACROSS THE NORTHERN ROCKIES
MONDAY WITH ASSOCIATED FRONT MOVING INTO NORTHEAST COLORADO MONDAY
AFTERNOON. FRONT CONTINUES ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS MONDAY NIGHT
WITH COOLER UPSLOPE FLOW PROGGED ACROSS THE PLAINS THROUGH THE
MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. WITH THE INCREASED MOISTURE...SHOULD CONTINUE
TO SEE AN UPSWING IN CONVECTION ACROSS THE REGION WITH TEMPERATURES
SLOWLY COOLING TO NEAR SEASONAL AVERAGES THROUGH THE PERIOD.  -MW
