AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
340 PM MDT MON JUN 23 2008

.SHORT TERM...
(TONIGHT AND TUESDAY)

...ISOLATED DRY LIGHTNING...AND PLAINS SEVERE POTENTIAL ARE MAIN
CONCERNS...

TODAY IS LOOKING A LOT LIKE YESTERDAY.  MID LEVEL CONVECTION STARTED
EARLY OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND IS NOW SPREADING ACROSS THE PLAINS.
ISOLATED DRY LIGHTNING IS LIKELY OCCURRING IN SOME AREAS...WITH OTHER
AREAS SEEING A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN.  GUSTY WINDS HAVE AGAIN BEEN AN
ISSUE TODAY...WITH HIGH BASED CONVECTION DROPPING RAIN COOLED AIR
INTO HOT...DRY AIR AT THE SURFACE.  GUSTS TO 35 KNOTS OR MORE HAVE
BEEN RECORDED AT KALS AND KPUB SO FAR.  A FEW GUSTS COULD HIT CLOSE
TO 50 KNOTS.  IN COMBINATION WITH ISOLATED DRY LIGHTNING...THIS WILL
CONTINUE THE THREAT OF FIRE STARTS THIS EVENING.  THE GOOD NEWS IS
THAT THE ATMOSPHERE IS CLOUDING OVER...AND GRADUALLY MOISTENING FROM
THE TOP DOWN THANKS TO THE CONVECTION.  THIS SHOULD ALLOW
TEMPERATURES TO GRADUALLY FALL OFF...AND HUMIDITIES TO GRADUALLY
COME UP THROUGH THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.  SPOTTY AREAS
COULD EVEN SEE A LITTLE RAIN AS THE EVENING PROGRESSES.  AGAIN...IT
IS A GOOD IDEA TO CONTACT LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT IMMEDIATELY IF YOU
NOTICE A FIRE START IN YOUR AREA.

IN ADDITION TO THE DRY LIGHTNING THREAT...THERE IS A SEVERE WEATHER
THREAT OVER THE EASTERN PLAINS THIS EVENING.  A SURFACE BOUNDARY HAS
BEEN GRADUALLY WORKING SOUTHWESTWARD ACROSS LINCOLN AND KIOWA
COUNTIES THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.  THERE IS A MUCH BETTER MOISTURE
SUPPLY BEHIND THE BOUNDARY...WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE 40S IMMEDIATELY
BEHIND THE BOUNDARY...AND EVEN 50S/60S AS CLOSE AS KIT CARSON COUNTY
AND WALLACE COUNTY (KANSAS).  SEVERE POTENTIAL WILL CONTINUE ALONG
AND NEAR THIS LINE THIS EVENING...ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN COLORADO
PLAINS.  ALSO...COULD BE A THREAT FOR A SEVERE WIND GUST TO 50 KNOTS
OR MORE FROM MOST ANY THUNDERSTORM THIS EVENING...DUE TO THE
INVERTED V NATURE OF THE SOUNDINGS.

TONIGHT...THE 18Z NAM12 RUN IS SHOWING SOME PRETTY SIGNIFICANT
SURFACE RH ADVECTING INTO EASTERN COLORADO FROM THE NORTHEAST.
COULD EVEN BE SOME PATCHY LOW CLOUDS ACROSS THE PLAINS LATE
TONIGHT/EARLY TUESDAY.

TOMORROW...LOOKS MUCH LIKE TODAY.  MORE ISOLATED DRY LIGHTNING
DEVELOPING OVER THE MOUNTAINS BY LATE MORNING...SPREADING EAST
DURING THE AFTERNOON.  ALTHOUGH THERE CURRENTLY IS NOT A DEFINITIVE
BOUNDARY IDENTIFIED BY THE MODELS LIKE TODAY...CANT OUTRULE AN
ISOLATED SEVERE STORM ACROSS THE PLAINS DURING THE AFTERNOON. LW

.LONG TERM...
(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)

...MODESTLY COOLER AND MORE MOIST WEATHER POSSIBLE FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY...

.TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...SHORTWAVE RIDGE REMAINS OVER THE
REGION.  THE WEAK UPPER LOW OFF REMAINS OFF THE CALIFORNIA
COAST...SO THE MUCH DRIER AT 500MB AND ABOVE WILL REMAIN TO OUR
WEST.  THERE WILL BE ENOUGH MOISTURE IN THE MIDDLE AND UPPER LAYERS
TO DEVELOP SOME AFTERNOON AND EVENING HIGH BASED THUNDERSTORMS...AND
THESE STORMS HAVE A LOW PROBABILITY OF PRODUCING WETTING RAINS.  ON
THE PLAINS AND EASTERN MOUNTAINS...SOME LOW LEVEL MOISTURE MAY MOVE
WESTWARD DURING THE EVENING RESULTING FROM POSSIBLE MCS DEVELOPMENT
IN KANSAS AND NEBRASKA.  WITH THE RIDGE AXIS OVERHEAD AND WARM AND
DRY AIR ALOFT...MOST OF THE MOISTURE WILL MIX OUT DURING THE
DAY...WITH ONLY ISOLATED POPS.  700MB TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO
BE IN EXCESS OF 16C...WHICH TRANSLATES INTO MIDDLE TO UPPER 90S ON
THE PLAINS.

.FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...UPPER TROUGH PASSES MOSTLY TO THE NORTH WITH
A SURFACE COLD FRONT PASSING OVER THE PLAINS AND EASTERN MOUNTAINS
ON FRIDAY.  HPC DISCUSSION INDICATES THAT 12Z OPERATIONAL GFS IS AN
OUTLIER...WITH THE TROUGH BEING TOO STRONG.  HOWEVER...THE EC AND
ENSEMBLE MEAN STILL INDICATE A FRONTAL PASSAGE ON FRIDAY...WITH
UPSLOPE ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.   TOO EARLY TO GET SPECIFIC ABOUT
THE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY...BUT HAVE INCREASED POPS
MODESTLY FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...AND COOLED MAXIMUMS A COUPLE OF
DEGREES.  12Z EC SUGGESTS THE STRONGEST FLOW ALOFT WILL REMAIN TO
THE NORTH...WITH SHEAR BEING FAIRLY WEAK.  THE EC AND GFS SUGGEST
MOST OF THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL REMAIN TO OUR SOUTH AND EAST.
HOWEVER...IF THE TROUGH IS TOO STRONG IN THESE MODELS...AS IS
SUGGESTED BY HPC...THERE IS THE CHANCE FOR THE FRONT TO STALL NEAR
THE AREA.  IF THE FRONT STALLS JUST TO OUR SOUTH...THEN WESTWARD
MOISTURE ADVECTION MAY BE STRONGER THAN INDICATED IN THE MODELS.

.SUNDAY AND MONDAY...AS TROUGH MOVES TO THE EAST...AN UPPER RIDGE
BUILDS INTO THE REGION WITH A WARMING AND DRYING TREND.  EC SUGGESTS
A WEAK UPSLOPE SURGE MAY BRUSH THE REGION ON MONDAY...BUT DO NOT PUT
MUCH FAITH IN THIS WEAK FEATURE ON DAY 7.  THERE MAY BE ENOUGH MID
LEVEL MOISTURE FOR SOME ISOLATED AFTERNOON AND EVENING HIGH
BASED THUNDERSTORMS.  --PGW--

&&

.AVIATION...THERE ARE CONCERNS ALL AREAS THIS EVENING AND AGAIN
MONDAY AFTERNOON RELATED TO LOW CIGS/VSBYS AND STRONG WIND GUSTS
ASSOCIATED WITH THUNDERSTORMS.  POSSIBLE PATCHY MVFR/IFR CIGS
DEVELOPING ACROSS THE PLAINS TONIGHT DUE TO INFLUX OF LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE BEHIND SURFACE BOUNDARY. LW

&&

.PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NONE.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY

ISOLATED AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE
EACH DAY ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST COLORADO...WITH THE
BEST CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.L ONE OR TWO
STORMS COULD BECOME STRONG ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST
PLAINS...PRODUCING HAIL UP TO 1/2 INCH IN DIAMETER...WIND GUSTS UP
TO 50 MPH...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL...AND LIGHTNING. ACROSS THE
MOUNTAINS AND HIGH VALLEYS...THE MAIN THREAT WITH THUNDERSTORMS
EACH DAY WILL BE GUSTY WINDS UP TO 50 MPH AND LIGHTNING...WITH
LITTLE OR NO RAINFALL.
