Area forecast discussion, Aug 10, 6:01 PM MDT, 6 hours 50 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
601 PM MDT MON AUG 10 2009

.UPDATE...

HAVE UPDATED GRIDS/ZONES TO REFLECT BASICALLY ZERO POPS ACROSS THE
LOWER ARKANSAS THIS EVENING. DESPITE HAVING NO RADAR OR RELIABLE
MODEL DATA...LOOK OUT THE WINDOW TELLS THE STORY WITH LITTLE CU
DEVELOPMENT OVR THE MTS AND CLEAR SKIES OVR THE PLAINS. 18Z NAM
AND GFS BOTH INSIST ON DEVELOPING PRECIP WITH ERLY PUSH OVR THE
PLAINS LATE TONITE...SO WILL LEAVE IN ISOLD POPS FOR THE OVERNIGHT
PERIOD. ROSE

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 246 PM MDT MON AUG 10 2009/

SHORT TERM...
(TONIGHT AND TUESDAY)

..ISOLATED SVR POSSIBLE ONCE AGAIN LATE...

CURRENTLY...MORE MOISTURE ALOFT IS NOTED OVER THE REGION TODAY AS
COMPARED TO THIS TIME YDAY. QUITE A BIT MORE CLOUDS ARE NOTED BOTH
OVER THE MTNS AND PLAINS. SFC DWPTS ARE IN THE 50S TO LOWER 60S. ALL
AREAS ON THE PLAINS HAVE UPSLOPE FLOW. WAT VAP IMGY INDICATES A
TROGH AXIS EXTENDING FROM JUST WEST OF RAPID CITY TO JUST EAST OF
SALT LAKE AND THEN SSW TOWARDS S NEVADA. THIS TROUGH IS MOVG EAST.
SPC MESOANALYSIS OVER THE REGION IS INDICATING MLCAPE OF ABOUT 1000
J/KB WITH ABOUT 50 UNITS OF CIN. DEEP SHEAR IS RUNNING ABOUT 30-40
KNOTS.

REST OF TODAY/TONIGHT...SHOULD SEE A FEW MORE TSRA OVER THE REGION
LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS COMPARED TO YDAY AFTERNOON/LAST
NIGHT. BETTER LLVL MSTR IS IN PLACE AND SHORT WAVE SHOULD HAVE MORE
OF AN EFFECT OVER THE AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. BELIEVE
BEST AREAS TO SEE PRECIP WILL BE THE RIDGES...BOTH THE PALMER DVD
AND RATON MESA AREAS. TSRA ARE ALREADY NOTED OVER THE S SANGRES
ALONG WITH SOME SHOWERS OVER THE FAR SE PLAINS. CONVECTION IS ALSO
BEGINNING FROM PIKES PEAK NWD. WITH SHEAR AND CAPE IN PLACE...A FEW
STRONGER STORMS WILL BE LIKELY. SPC RECENTLY ISSUED AN MD FOR AREAS
JUST N OF THE PUB CWA.

ACTIVITY SHOULD MOVE SLOWLY EAST THROUGH THE EVENING. WITH PV LOBE
CONTINUING OVER THE REGION TONIGHT...SOME CONVECTION MAY LINGER WELL
INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS OVER THE FAR E PLAINS. SIMILAR TO LAST
NIGHT...THIS CONVECTION COULD BE ON THE STRONGER SIDE.

TUESDAY...RESIDUAL MSTR WILL LINGER OVER THE PLAINS WHILE IT WILL
LIKELY REMAIN DRY OVER THE MTNS. FLOW ALOFT TOMORROW WILL BE
WEAKENING AND WILL BECOME NW AS HEIGHTS CONTINUE TO RISE OFF TO
OUR WEST. OVERALL...EXPECT THUNDER CHANCES TOMORROW TO BE ISOLD AT
BEST...WITH THE BEST CHANCES DOWN OVER THE RATON MESA REGION.
TEMPS TOMORROW WILL BE ABOUT A COUPLE DEGREES WARMER THAN TODAY.

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

LATEST COMPUTER MODELS/SIMULATIONS/FORECAST SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO
SUPPORT IDEA OF UPPER RIDGING REMAINING OVER NEW MEXICO/FAR WEST
TEXAS FROM TUESDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY BEFORE UPPER RIDGING BREAKS
DOWN AS SEVERAL UPPER SYSTEMS MOVE ACROSS IDAHO AND MONTANA FROM
FRIDAY INTO NEXT MONDAY.

IN ADDITION...NORTHERLY SURGES ARE PROJECTED TO MOVE ACROSS MAINLY
EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWFA ON SATURDAY AND POSSIBLY AGAIN BY
NEXT MONDAY. MODEL PROJECTIONS SUGGEST THAT ENOUGH ATMOSPHERIC
MOISTURE WILL BE OVER/NEAR CWFA TO ALLOW ISOLATED MAINLY AFTERNOON
AND EVENING POPS OVER MOST AREAS DURING THE LONG TERM.

AT THIS JUNCTURE...IT APPEARS THAT THE HIGHEST PRECIPITATION
POTENTIAL DURING THE LONG TERM WILL OCCUR ON TUESDAY
NIGHT...THURSDAY AND SATURDAY. INCREASED GRADIENT WINDS MAY BE
NOTED TUESDAY NIGHT...THURSDAY NIGHT...FRIDAY NIGHT AND THEN AGAIN
ON SUNDAY NIGHT. TEMPERATURES REMAINING AT OR A CATEGORY OR TWO
ABOVE MID-AUGUST CLIMATOLOGICAL AVERAGES ARE ALSO ANTICIPATED DURING
THE LONGER TERM.

AVIATION...

BESIDES THE THREAT OF ISOLD TSRA ACROSS KCOS AND KPUB LATER TODAY
AND TOMORROW AFTERNOON...THERE COULD BE A CHANCE OF LOW CIGS ONCE
AGAIN ACROSS THE TWO TAF SITES AGAIN TONIGHT. FOR NOW...I AM NOT AS
CONFIDENT ABOUT LOW CLOUDS TONIGHT AS I WAS YDAY. HOWEVER...I WILL
WAIT UNTIL THE 18 GUIDANCE COMES IN TO DECIDED WHAT TO DO ABOUT
CIGS. FOR NOW...I AM PLANNING TO AT LEAST MENTION LOW CLOUDS IN THE
TAFS FROM ROUGHLY 10-15Z.
