.SHORT TERM...

(TONIGHT AND TUESDAY)

PRECIPITABLE WATERS ON BLENDED AMSU SSM/I PRODUCT HAVE COME WAY DOWN
ACROSS THE AREA FROM YESTERDAY...GENERALLY RUNNING AROUND 80-120% OF
NORMAL. NEXT RATHER POTENT UPPER TROF IS ALREADY STARTING TO MAKE
ITS WAY THROUGH WRN WY ATTM WITH THUNDERSTORMS FIRING ACROSS THE NRN
MOUNTAINS OF CO AND WY.  THESE WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE TO THE
SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS AS UPPER TROF
APPROACHES.  AT THE SURFACE...DEW POINTS HAVE BEEN ON THE
DECREASE...THOUGH MORE SLOWLY IN AREAS THAT RECEIVED HEAVY
RAINFALL.  AS OF 19Z...DEW POINTS HAVE DROPPED INTO THE LOWER 50S
FOR THE I-25 CORRIDOR...WITH MID TO UPPER 50S ACROSS THE EASTERN
PLAINS.  LOWER EASTERN SLOPES OF THE SE MTS HAVE DROPPED INTO THE
40S...WITH 30S ACROSS THE WRN MTS/INTERIOR VALLEYS.  MAIN FRONTAL
BOUNDARY APPEARS TO BE IN NE CO...THOUGH SAT IMAGERY ALSO SHOWING
AN OLD OUTFLOW BOUNDARY EXTENDING ACROSS EL PASO COUNTY THROUGH
CHEYENNE COUNTY AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE.

FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON...SHOULD CONTINUE TO SEE
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS...AND ALONG OLD
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY ACROSS NRN SECTIONS OF THE SE PLAINS.  HIGHEST
CAPES WILL LIKELY BE ALONG AND NORTH OF THIS BOUNDARY WITH SOME
AREAS OF UP TO 1000 J/KG OR A TAD HIGHER. ANOTHER AXIS OF HIGHER
INSTABILITY EXTENDS ACROSS SW KS THROUGH BACA COUNTY.   DEEP LAYER
SHEARS ARE A BIT STRONGER TODAY SO A NEAR SEVERE STORM OR TWO ACROSS
THE PLAINS IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION THIS AFTERNOON.
MEANWHILE...DECREASED MOISTURE OUT WEST WILL LEAD TO LESS OF A HEAVY
RAIN THREAT WITH SOME ISOLATED TO SCATTERED HIGHER BASED
THUNDERSTORMS.  AS UPPER TROF MOVES IN...FRONT SHOULD SURGE THROUGH
THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS DURING THE EVENING HOURS.  LATEST NAM12 HAS
FRONT HITTING PALMER DIVIDE AROUND 00-02Z...THEN THROUGH MOST OF THE
SE PLAINS BY 06Z AS MCS TAKES SHAPE ACROSS NE CO THEN DROPS TO THE
SOUTHEAST INTO WRN KS.  12Z AND NOW 18Z NAM HAS SHIFTED QPF AXIS
BACK TO THE SOUTH AND WEST WHILE GFS STILL INSISTS ON KEEPING MOST OF
THE QPF ACROSS NE CO.  STILL SOME UNCERTAINTIES HERE...BUT WITH SUCH
A POTENT SHORTWAVE TROF MOVING THROUGH...WOULD TEND TO FAVOR THE
FARTHER SOUTH NAM SOLN.  HPC IS ALSO LEANING IN THIS DIRECTION...AND
SPC HAS CONTINUED TO TREND THE SLIGHT RISK AREA WESTWARD INTO
EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE SE PLAINS...INCLUDING EL
PASO...CROWLEY...KIOWA...BENT...AND PROWERS COUNTIES.  THUS HAVE
OPTED TO PULL HIGHER POP GRADIENT BACK TO THE SOUTHWEST IN CURRENT
GRID SET.  BEST GUESS IS MCS WILL ROLE THROUGH BETWEEN 01Z AND 08Z
TIME FRAME.  DEEP LAYER SHEARS INCREASE TO AROUND 40 KTS...AND AS
UPPER LEVELS COOL WITH APPROACHING SHORTWAVE...COULD SEE SOME MODEST
CAPES.  THUS ONE OR TWO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS
NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE SE PLAINS...WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING
WINDS THE PRIMARY THREAT.  BY 12Z...MOST OF THE UPPER FORCING WILL
HAVE SHIFTED INTO FAR ERN CO/WRN KS...AND MORE STABLE AIR WILL HAVE
MOVED INTO SE CO.

TUESDAY WILL START OUT COOL AND STABLE ACROSS THE PLAINS.  NOT SURE
I BUY ALL THE QPF ACROSS EASTERN CO DURING THE MORNING AS MOST OF
THE FORCING WILL HAVE ALREADY SHIFTED EAST OF THE AREA.  BUT AT THIS
POINT ITS DIFFICULT TO TAKE IT OUT COMPLETELY.  LOW LVL MOISTURE
INCREASES AGAIN ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS AND INTERIOR VALLEYS DUE TO
DEEP UPSLOPE FLOW...AND WITH ELEVATED HEATING SHOULD SEE SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP ONCE AGAIN.  STRONGER DEEP LAYER
SHEARS...AND CAPES OF UP TO 1500 J/KG COULD SUPPORT ONE OR TWO SEVERE
STORMS ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS AND INTERIOR VALLEYS...MAINLY WEST OF
I-25.  THINK IT WILL BE A LATE SHOW THOUGH AS AREA MAY STILL BE
UNDER SUBSIDENCE BEHIND DEPARTING SHORTWAVE INITIALLY.  ACROSS THE
PLAINS...BELIEVE THAT IT WILL STAY CAPPED FOR MUCH OF THE DAY.
HOWEVER...NAM12 KEEPS DEW POINTS SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER THAN GFS WITH
MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOWING LITTLE TO NO CIN AND UP TO AROUND 1000 J/KG
OF CAPE...ESPECIALLY TO THE SOUTH ACROSS THE RATON RIDGE.  DRIER GFS
WOULD SUGGEST A STRONGER CAP WITH DEW POINTS ACTUALLY DROPPING SOME
BEHIND THE FRONT.  FOR NOW THINK MAIN ACTION WILL BE ALONG THE FRONT
TO THE SOUTH...BUT CANT RULE OUT AN ISOLATED TSTORM IN THE
AFTERNOON. -KT

.LONG TERM...

(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)

ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN LOOKS TO CONTINUE WITH MAIN CONCERNS
STRENGTH AND COVERAGE OF CONVECTION THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.

TUESDAY NIGHT-WEDNESDAY...MODERATE WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT
PROGGED TO CONTINUE ACROSS THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT AND INCREASES
SLIGHTLY THROUGH THE DAY WEDNESDAY AS ANOTHER POTENT SHORT WAVE
DIVES ACROSS THE NORTHERN ROCKIES WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND INTO THE
NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS WEDNESDAY NIGHT. MODELS FAIRLY CONSISTENT WITH
ONGOING CONVECTION ACROSS THE EASTERN MTS TUESDAY AFTERNOON SLIDING
SOUTH AND EAST ACROSS THE SOUTHERN I-25 CORRIDOR AND FORMING AN MCS
ACROSS EASTERN NEW NEW MEXICO TUESDAY NIGHT AND HAVE BEEFED UP POPS
TO MATCH. HAVE ALSO ADDED AND INCREASED POPS ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST
PLAINS OVERNIGHT TUESDAY NIGHT AS MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE SOME
ELEVATED CONVECTION ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS WITH H7 WAA
DEVELOPING AHEAD OF NORTHERN ROCKIES SYSTEM. NORTHERN ROCKIES SHORT
WAVE ALSO INDUCES LEE TROUGHING ACROSS THE PLAINS INTO WEDNESDAY
MORNING WITH WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT HELPING TO SLIGHTLY MIX OUT LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS. PASSING NORTHERN ROCKIES
WAVE SENDS ANOTHER FRONT ACROSS THE PLAINS WITH MODELS INDICATING
FRONT MOVING ACROSS THE PALMER DVD AROUND 18Z AND CONTINUING ACROSS
THE REST OF THE SE PLAINS THROUGH THE EVENING. TIMING OF FRONT
CRUCIAL FOR MAX TEMPS AND POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WX AS MODEL SOUNDINGS
INDICATING CAPES BETWEEN 1000-1500 J/KG ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS
LATE WED MORNING AND ALONG WITH THE MODERATE WESTERLY FLOW
ALOFT...CANT RULE OUT A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS DEVELOPING ALONG
AND BEHIND FRONT WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.

THURSDAY-FRIDAY...MODERATE NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT CONTINUES ACROSS THE
REGION THURSDAY AND DECREASES THROUGH FRIDAY AS UPPER LEVEL RIDGING
LOOKS TO REBUILD ACROSS THE DESERT SW AND GREAT BASIN. MOIST LOW
LEVEL UPSLOPE ACROSS THE PLAINS EARLY THURSDAY BECOMES MORE
SOUTHERLY THROUGH THE DAY AS SFC HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO BUILD
INTO THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS...LEADING TO THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE
WX ONCE AGAIN ACROSS THE PLAINS. LATEST MODELS ARE NOT INDICATING
ANY STRONG FEATURE EMBEDDED WITHIN THE FLOW TO HELP INITIATE
CONVECTION AND WILL NEED TO RELY ON SOLAR HEATING AND TERRAIN
EFFECTS. HEATING ACROSS THE PLAINS LOOKS TO BE HAMPERED BY MORNING
STRATUS AND THE STRONGER STORMS MAY BE CONFINED TO THE EASTERN MTS
AND IMMEDIATE ADJACENT PLAINS. MODELS STILL INDICATING WARMING AND
DRYING INTO FRIDAY WITH WESTERLY FLOW HELPING TO MIX OUT LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE ACROSS THE FAR EASTERN PLAINS.

SATURDAY-MONDAY...LONG TERM MODELS CONTINUE TO DIFFER THROUGH THIS
PERIOD WITH THE GFS KEEPING WEST TO SOUTHWEST FLOW ACROSS THE STATE
AS UPPER RIDGE MOVES OVERHEAD AND SLIDES SOUTH AND EAST OF THE AREA
OPENING UP THE DOOR FOR INCREASED MONSOONAL MOISTURE THROUGH MONDAY.
ECMWF CONTINUES TO FORECAST MODERATE NORTHWEST FLOW WITH OCCASIONAL
FRONTS SLIDING ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS AS UPPER RIDGE REMAINS WEST
OF THE STATE. AT ANY RATE...HAVE KEPT CURRENT FORECAST NEAR SEASONAL
AVERAGES WITH MAINLY ISOLATED DIURNAL CONVECTION. -MW

&&

.AVIATION...ISOLATED -TSRA POSSIBLE FOR THE TAF SITES LATE THIS
AFTN/EVENING.  FRONT WILL HIT THE PALMER DIVIDE AROUND 00Z-01Z...THEN
ACROSS MOST OF THE SE PLAINS BY 06Z. GUSTY NORTHEAST WINDS 20-35 MPH
MAY ACCOMPANY FROPA.  A STRONG TO SEVERE STORM OR TWO WILL BE
POSSIBLE ACROSS THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHEAST
PLAINS...PRIMARY ALONG/BEHIND THE FRONT IN THE 01Z-08Z TIME PERIOD.
LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREAT WITH KCOS
HAVING THE BEST CHANCE FOR SEEING A THUNDERSTORM.  MVFR STRATUS WILL DEVELOP
ACROSS THE PLAINS LATE TONIGHT AS WINDS SHIFT OUT OF THE EAST BEHIND
THE FRONT.  COULD BE SOME POCKETS OF IFR CIGS ALONG THE LOWER SLOPES
OF THE SE MTS TOWARDS EARLY TUESDAY MORNING BUT FOR NOW THINK THIS
WILL OCCUR WEST OF KCOS.  CLOUDS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE MORNING
WITH BREAKS BY AFTERNOON.  ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
POSSIBLE FOR THE SAN LUIS VALLEY AND EASTERN MOUNTAINS DURING THE
AFTERNOON.
