AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
225 PM MDT SUN JUN 29 2008

.SHORT TERM...
(TONIGHT AND MONDAY)

CONVECTION HAS BEEN SLOWER TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS
PROBABLY TO SOME EXTENT DUE TO SOME MID/HIGH CLOUD COVER WHICH IS
SLOWING THE SFC BASED HEATING DURING THE LATE MORNING...THOUGH IN
LAST HOUR SATELLITE IS SHOWING MORE VERTICAL DEVELOPMENT.
MEANWHILE...MORE VIGOROUS CONVECTION IS ONGOING ACROSS THE SW  MTS
AND WRN PORTIONS OF THE SAN LUIS VALLEY WHERE DEW POINTS ARE STILL
IN THE MID 30S TO UPPER 40S.  DEW POINTS ARE DRIER TO THE NORTHWEST
WITH LOWER 20S REPORTED AT KLXV.   MEANWHILE ON THE PLAINS...DEW
POINTS HAVE BEEN HOVERING IN THE MID 40S.

FOR THIS EVENING...EXPECT MOST CONVECTION WILL STAY CONFINED TO THE
MOUNTAINS AND VALLEYS WITH STORM MOTIONS TO THE SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST
AROUND 10 MPH. BUFKIT SOUNDINGS KEEP THE EASTERN PLAINS CAPPED
TODAY...SO WILL KEEP NIL POPS OUT TOWARDS THE CO/KS BORDER.
MEANWHILE WITH HIGHER DEW POINTS REMAINING ACROSS THE VALLEYS AND
MOUNTAINS...CAPES WILL RUN AROUND 600-1200 J/KG. WEAK WINDS THROUGH
THE MID/UPPER LEVELS KEEPS DEEP LAYER SHEARS ON THE LIGHT SIDE...SO
STORMS WILL BE PULSEY IN NATURE.  THEY COULD BRIEFLY PRODUCE SOME
SMALL HAIL AND WIND GUSTS UP TO 40 MPH WITH THE STRONGER
STORMS...ALONG WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND DANGEROUS CLOUD TO
GROUND LIGHTNING. MAIN FORCING APPEARS TO BE ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST
WHERE WEAK PV LOBE IS MOVING THROUGH...SO CONVECTION MAY CONTINUE A
LITTLE PAST MIDNIGHT ACROSS THE WRN MT AREAS.  PLAN TO KEEP SOME LOW
GRADE ISOLATED POPS UNTIL 09Z.

FOR MONDAY...SIMILAR PATTERN WITH RIDGE AXIS STILL OFF TO THE
WEST...AND AMPLE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINING ACROSS THE HIGH
VALLEYS AND MOUNTAINS.  FORCING MAY BE SLIGHTLY STRONGER TOMORROW AS
PV LOBE TO THE WEST BEGINS TO MOVE EASTWARD ACROSS THE AREA DURING
THE AFTERNOON.  SO COULD SEE CONVECTION START A LITTLE EARLIER.  DEW
POINTS WILL BE SIMILAR TO TODAY...SO PROBABLY LOOKING AT SIMILAR
CAPES AND CONTINUED LIGHT SHEAR.  COULD BE ONE OR TWO STRONG STORMS
WITH HAIL UP TO 1/2 INCH IN DIAMETER...WIND GUSTS TO 40 MPH AND
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL.  APPEARS TO BE LESS OF A CAP IN PLACE
TOMORROW...SO STORMS MAY HAVE A SLIGHTLY EASIER TIME MOVING OFF INTO
THE ADJACENT PLAINS TOMORROW. -KT

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

THE UPR RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO STAY CENTERED JUST WEST OF CO THRU THE
WEEK AND POSSIBLY SHIFTING E OVR CO NEXT WEEKEND.  MSTR WL STILL BE
TRAPPED UNDER THE RIDGE OVR THE FORECAST AREA.  WE SHOULD SEE ISOLD
TO SCT THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP EACH AFTERNOON...CONTINUING INTO THE
EVENING.  ALSO WITH THE RIDGE KEEPING WARM AIR OVR THE AREA...TEMPS
WL GENERALLY BE ABOVE SEASONAL NORMS...EXCEPT ON THU IN THE WAKE OF
THAT SHRTWV TROF TEMPS SHOULD BE COOLER...LIKELY A FEW DEGREES BELOW
NORMAL.  WED NIGHT/THU MORNING A SHRTWV TROF MOVES OVR THE ERN
PLAINS AND THE GFS DEVELOPS AND MCS.  WL KEEP POPS IN THE OVERNIGHT
PERIOD AND THU MORNING. WINDS SHOULD GENERALLY BE FAIRLY WEAK ACRS
THE AREA THIS WEEK AND THE THUNDERSTORMS HAVE GENERALLY BE WET THE
LAST COUPLE DAYS AND IT SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE THIS WAY THROUGH THE
WEEK ALTHOUGH THERE WL PROBABLY BE A FEW DRY STORMS AS WELL.

&&

.AVIATION...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED OVER THE
MOUNTAINS THROUGH THE EVENING...WITH VFR TO MVFR CIGS.  MOST OF
THESE THUNDERSTORMS WILL STAY CONFINED TO THE HIGHER TERRAIN WEST OF
I-25.  COULD SEE SOME ERRATIC WIND GUSTS TO 40 MPH ESPECIALLY AT THE KALS
TAF SITE...ALONG WITH SMALL HAIL AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN.
THUNDERSTORMS WILL DIMINISH FOR MOST AREAS BY MIDNIGHT.  LESS CLOUD
COVER EXPECTED MONDAY MORNING...THEN AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS WILL
REDEVELOP OVER THE MOUNTAINS BY EARLY AFTN AND HAVE A SLIGHTLY
BETTER CHANCE TO AFFECT THE KCOS AND KPUB TAF SITES AFTER 21Z.
