What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Pueblo, CO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Aug 18, 9:48 AM MDT, 4 hours 38 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 18, 9:48 AM MDT, 4 hours 38 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO 948 AM MDT TUE AUG 18 2009 .UPDATE... UPDATED PACKAGE TO INCLUDE MENTION OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN GRIDS FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SHORTWAVE KNOCKING ON OUR DOORSTEP OUT WEST STILL ON TRACK TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. INITIALLY WITH THE CLOUD COVER WE START OUT WITH QUITE A BIT OF CIN THIS MORNING. HOWEVER...NAM QUICKLY ERODES THE CAP BY 00Z...AND BOTH NAM AND GFS POINT TO AN MCS DEVELOPING ACROSS SOUTHEAST PORTIONS OF THE PLAINS BY THIS EVENING. WITH SFC WINDS NOW PROGGED TO GO MORE EASTERLY THAN SOUTHERLY (WITH APPROACH OF UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE)...MODELS NOW HAVE DEEP LAYER SHEARS IN THE 40-50KT RANGE...SUFFICIENT FOR SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS THE PRIMARY THREAT. 12Z NAM SUGGESTS 0-3 KM HELICITIES IN THE 200-300+ M2/S2 ALONG THE NRN SLOPES OF THE RATON RIDGE AND BACA COUNTY AREA. SO A TORNADO IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION AS LCLS LOOK TO BE SUFFICIENTLY LOW. OVERALL...BEST CHANCE OF SEVERE STILL LOOKS TO BE SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 50 AND EAST OF I-25. HOWEVER...STORMS COULD ALSO RAPIDLY INTENSIFY AS THEY ROLL OF THE SOUTHEAST MOUNTAINS INTO THE ADJACENT I-25 CORRIDOR BY MID AFTERNOON AS HEATING AND SFC DEW POINTS IN THE 50S YIELD MODEL CAPE VALUES OF AROUND 1000-1500 J/KG. MUCH DEPENDS ON HOW QUICKLY CLOUDS BURN OFF AND SFC HEATING COMMENCES. FOR NOW A BROAD BRUSH FOR POTENTIAL SEVERE ACROSS ALL OF THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS STILL LOOKS ON TARGET. UPDATE WILL BE OUT SHORTLY. -KT && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 350 AM MDT TUE AUG 18 2009/ SHORT TERM... (TODAY AND TONIGHT) ..MAIN CONCERN TODAY IS INTENSITY OF CONVECTION... CURRENTLY...LOW CLOUD SAT PIX IMGY INDICATES LOW CLOUDS ARE OCCURRING FROM THE IMMEDIATE E FACING SLOPES OF THE S MTNS EASTWARD ACROSS THE ENTIRE PLAINS. LONE SUPERCELL OVER KIOWA COUNTY HAS RECENTLY WEAKENED AND IS JUST A CLUSTER OF HEAVY RAIN OVER THE C PART OF THE CNTY. LOTS OF SMALLER CONVECTIVE TSRA OVER FAR E PLAINS. LIGHT SHOWERS WERE BREAKING OUT ACROSS THE I-25 CORRIDOR. ON THE LARGER SCALE...WAT VAP IMGY SHOWS A WELL DEFINED SHORT WAVE OVER UTAH. QUITE A BIT OF CLOUDINESS DEVELOPING IN FRONT OF IT INDICATING PRETTY GOOD UPWARD VV. TODAY...NOT AN EASY FCST. LOTS OF LOW CLOUDS ON THE PLAINS AND WITH THE UPWARD VV FIELD MOVG TOWARDS THE REGION ASSOCD WITH THE UTAH SHORTWAVE I DONT KNOW HOW FAST THEY WILL DISSIPATE TODAY. IF THEY HANG AROUND A GOOD PART OF THE DAY THEN WE WILL NOT SEE MUCH IN THE WAY OF HEATING AND THUS WE MAY NOT SEE AS MUCH STRONG TSRA TODAY ACROSS THE REGION. IN ADDITION...THE HODOGRAPHS FROM THE 06Z NAM SIMULATION RUN DONT REALLY IMPRESS ME ALL THAT MUCH. ON THE OTHER HAND WE MAY SEE QUITE A BIT WEAKER TSRA WITH THE ABUNDANT MSTR AND UPWARD FORCING. FOR NOW I WILL NOT MENTION SVR IN THE NDFD BUT WILL MENTION IT IN THE HWO PRODUCT ALONG WITH THE GRAPHICAL FCST. I SHOULD STATE IF...AND ITS A BIG IF...THE SHORTWAVE IS STRONGER THEN THE SIMULATIONS INDICATE AND THE LLVL WINDS REMAIN MORE EASTERLY....THEN SHEAR WILL BE BETTER FOR STRONGER STORMS. WE WILL ALSO MEED MORE SUN TODAY TO GET SUFFICIENT CAPE. TONIGHT...SHORTWAVE SHOULD MOVE ACROSS THE REGION DURING THE EARLY EVENING TIME FRAME. THIS SHOULD KEEP MOST OF THE PRECIP OVER THE FAR SE PLAINS BY MID TO LATE EVENING WITH ACTIVITY ENDING DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS OVER THE FAR SE PLAINS. LONG TERM... (WEDNESDAY - MONDAY) NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT STILL IN PLACE WEDNESDAY WITH FEW WEAK WAVES MOVING SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE BASE OF THE TROF. AT THE SURFACE...COLD FRONT EXPECTED TO MOVE SOUTH THROUGH THE PLAINS DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING. LATEST MODEL RUNS SHOW VERY LITTLE IN THE WAY OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE OR INSTABILITY TO WORK WITH DURING THE AFTERNOON. STILL COULD SEE A FEW SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP...SO HAVE CONTINUED IDEA OF ISOLATED POPS IN THE AFTERNOON/EVENING ACROSS THE CWA. LATEST MODEL RUNS ARE A BIT SLOWER BUILDING IN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE...KEEPING CWA IN NORTHWESTERLY FLOW THROUGH MUCH OF THURSDAY BEFORE RIDGE FINALLY BUILDS IN THURSDAY NIGHT. ON THURSDAY...WITH SURFACE HIGH CENTERED OVER WYOMING...SURFACE DEWPOINTS FALL INTO THE 30S TO MID 40S ON THE EASTERN PLAINS. TEMPERATURES WILL BE SLOW TO WARM UP HOWEVER...WITH HIGHS MAINLY IN THE 80S AT THE LOWER ELEVATIONS. THE RIDGE THEN BECOMES THE DOMINANT WEATHER FEATURE THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. MAIN QUESTION WILL BE HOW MUCH MONSOONAL MOISTURE WILL WORK ITS WAY NORTHWARD AND WHEN WE WILL SEE ANOTHER CHANCE OF RAINFALL. FOR NOW...KEPT LOW POPS IN SOUTH CENTRAL COLORADO SATURDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING...WITH LOW POPS SPREADING EASTWARD ACROSS THE CWA THROUGH MONDAY. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABOVE NORMAL FOR THE WEEKEND...WITH HIGHS WARMING INTO THE 80S AND 90S. 40 AVIATION... KALS SHOULD SEE VFR CONDITIONS NEXT 24H. KCOS AND KPUB WILL SEE LOW CLOUDS THIS MORNING WITH MVFR CONDITIONS LIKELY THROUGH AT LEAST MID MORNING. THESE TWO SITES WILL ALSO SEE MORE CLOUDS THEN WE NORMALLY SEE THIS TIME OF THE YEAR DUE TO THE LOW LVL MSTR OVER THE AREA. WE WILL ALSO SEE SCTD RASH/TSRA THROUGH THE DAY...WITH THE BEST CHANCE DURING THE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING TIME PD. FOR TONIGHT...TROUGH AXIS WILL MOVE THROUGH AND SHOULD SCOUR ALL THE LOWER LVL MSTR OUT OF THE AREA...SO LOW CLOUDS SHOULD NOT BE A CONCERN LATER TONIGHT. && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && 31/27

THERE WILL ALSO BE A CHANCE THAT ONE OR TWO OF THE STORMS COULD PRODUCE VERY LARGE HAIL...THAT IS...HAIL GREATER THAN 2 INCHES IN DIAMETER. MOIST UNSTABLE UPSLOPE FLOW...MODERATELY STRONG DEEP SHEAR AND A PRONOUNCED UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL BRING THE THREAT OF A FEW SEVERE STORMS TO THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHEAST AND SOUTH CENTRAL COLORADO. THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING GUSTY WINDS...SMALL HAIL AND DANGEROUS LIGHTNING. THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL RETURN TO SOUTH CENTRAL COLORADO LATE SATURDAY.
