AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
644 AM MDT THU JUN 26 2008

.SHORT TERM...
(TODAY AND TONIGHT)

...ANOTHER WARM DAY WITH GUSTY THUNDERSTORM WINDS POSSIBLE...

CURRENTLY ACROSS THE REGION...QUITE A BIT OF LLVL MOISTURE HAS MADE
IT BACK TO THE FAR E CO PLAINS AS DEWPTS OUT THERE ARE APPROACHING
60F WITH EVEN A FEW LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS ACROSS PROWERS/BACA AND KIOWA
COUNTIES AT 3 AM. OVER THE REMAINDER OF THE REGION...SKIES GENERALLY
PARTLY CLOUDY. LARGE SCALE SAT PIX SHOW THAT THE MONSOON IS GETTING
ACTIVE (CONVECTION ALONG THE W MEXICO MTNS) AND THIS MID LVL
MOISTURE IS MAKING IT WELL INTO CO.

TODAY...WE WILL SEE A REPEAT OF YESTERDAY. TEMPS WILL BE APPROACHING
100F ALONG THE LOWER ARK RVR VALLEY TODAY WITH 80S AND 90S OVER THE
REMAINDER OF THE REGION. TSRA WILL ONCE AGAIN BE ISOLATED AT BEST
AND ANY CONVECTION THAT WILL GET GOING WILL BE CAPABLE OF STRONG
DOWNBURST WINDS GIVEN THE IMPRESSIVE INVERTED V SOUNDINGS. SPC DOES
NOT HAVE ANY OF THE REGION EXPLICITLY OUTLOOKED...BUT THE PROB
CHARTS SHOW A 5% WIND/HAIL CONTOUR RUNNING ACROSS THE E PLAINS...AND
THIS LOOKS REALISTIC GIVEN THE SOUNDINGS. AS FOR FORCING
TODAY...CANT REALLY SEE ANYTHING IN SAT PIX OR GUIDANCE PRODUCTS
THAT WOULD ENHANCE CONVECTION...SO PLAN TO MENTION ONLY STRONG
STORMS IN THE WX GRAPHIC/HWO PRODUCT LATER THIS MORNING WITH
EMPHASIS ON THE WINDS. /HODANISH

TONIGHT...ACTIVITY WILL MOVE EAST ONTO THE PLAINS WITH MOST IF NOT
ALL OF IT ENDING BY MIDNIGHT.

.LONG TERM...
(FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)

LONG TERM CONCERNS REMAIN TIMING OF FRONT ON FRIDAY ALONG WITH
CHANCES FOR STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH SATURDAY.

FRIDAY-SATURDAY...LATEST NAM RUNS REMAIN A TAD FURTHER SOUTH WITH
SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING ACROSS THE NORTHERN ROCKIES AND INTO THE
NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS...WHICH ALLOWS FOR A COLD FRONT TO MOVE  ACROSS
THE PALMER DVD AROUND 18Z AND THROUGH THE REST OF SOUTHEAST COLORADO
FRIDAY EVENING. LATEST GFS AND ECMWF REMAIN SIMILAR WITH PREVIOUS
RUNS AND EACH OTHER...WITH A LESS AMPLIFIED TROUGH AND SLOWER TIMING
OF FRONT AND MOISTURE MOVING ACROSS EASTERN COLORADO. TIMING OF
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE FEEDING INTO THE AREA WILL HELP DETERMINE
SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL...WITH MODEL SOUNDINGS AND LATEST SPC
DAY2 OUTLOOK INDICATING THE POTENTIAL FOR INITIALLY HIGH BASED
CONVECTION PRODUCING LARGE HAIL AS SHEAR INCREASES. AT ANY
RATE...WILL KEEP CURRENT FORECAST INTACT ATTM...WHICH HAS BEST
POPS ACROSS THE PIKES PEAK REGION AND I-25 CORRIDOR FRIDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND UPSLOPE INCREASES
ACROSS THE PLAINS LATE FRIDAY NIGHT WITH SOME STRATUS POSSIBLE
THROUGH EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. LATEST GFS INDICATING POST FRONTAL
SEVERE WEATHER PATTERN IN PLACE ACROSS EASTERN COLORADO ON
SATURDAY...WITH STRONG SHEAR IN PLACE AS NORTHWEST FLOW CONTINUES
OVER LOW LEVEL EAST TO SOUTHEAST FLOW. LATEST NAM IS KEEPING THE
FAR EASTERN PLAINS TOO STABLE ATTM...THOUGH WILL NEED TO SEE
MONITOR FOR ANY DISTURBANCE EMBEDDED THE THE FLOW ALOFT TO HELP
INITIATE CONVECTION. HAVE ONLY MADE MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO CURRENT
FORECAST...INCLUDING LOWERING HIGHS A TAD.

SUNDAY-MONDAY...MODELS KEEPING WEAK NORTH TO NORTHWEST FLOW ACROSS
THE AREA AS UPPER LEVEL RIDGING REBUILDS ACROSS THE DESERT SW AND
INTO THE GREAT BASIN...WITH MAINLY WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS ACROSS
THE WESTERN HALF OF THE AREA...AND SLIGHTLY COOLER AND POSSIBLE
WETTER CONDITIONS ACROSS THE EASTERN MTS AND PLAINS.

TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY...NO CHANGES TO CURRENT FORECAST.

-MW

&&

.AVIATION...

MAIN CONCERN WILL BE SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY IN THAT DOWNBURST WINDS
WILL BE PRIMARY THREAT TO KPUB AND KCOS. GREATEST THREAT AT KCOS
WILL BE DURING MID TO LATE AFTERNOON TIME PERIOD WHILE AT KPUB IT
WILL BE LATE AFTERNOON TO EARLY EVENING. SINCE TSRA WILL BE ISOLATED
AT BEST...WILL ONLY MENTION CB IN TEXT PRODUCT WITH GUSTY WINDS IN
A TEMPO GROUP DURING ABOVE FORMENTIONED PERIODS. OOTHEWISE
ANTICIPATE VFR CONDITIONS.
