Area forecast discussion, Jun 11, 3:29 PM MDT, 1 hour before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO 329 PM MDT THU JUN 11 2009 .SHORT TERM... (TONIGHT AND FRIDAY) ...SEVERE WEATHER THREAT THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS... SHORTWAVE EVIDENT IN WV PICS AND MODEL PV FIELDS ALREADY MOVING THROUGH WESTERN COLORADO. THUNDERSTORMS HAVE ALREADY STARTED DEVELOPING ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS WITH THE APPROACH OF THIS SYSTEM. LIMITING FACTOR SO FAR HAS BEEN THE SURFACE HEATING ACROSS THE PLAINS DUE TO EXTENSIVE AREA OF LOW AND MID CLOUDINESS. QUITE A BIT OF DISPARITY BETWEEN THE MODELS TODAY WITH THE PROGGED POSITION OF THE OLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY. GFS LIFTS IT NORTHWARD TO NEAR THE ARKANSAS RIVER VALLEY BY LATE AFTN. NAM KEEPS THE FRONT PINNED UP ALONG THE NRN SLOPES OF THE RATON. RUC13 SOLN IS MORE IN LINE WITH THE NAM. AS OF 18Z...LAPS 3HR PRESSURE CHANGE FIELDS ONLY SHOWING SOME WEAK PRESSURE FALLS ACROSS SE CO AND KTAD STILL HAS A DEW POINT OF 52...THOUGH SOME LOWER 40S DEW POINTS ARE STARTING TO APPEAR ALONG THE CREST OF THE RATON RIDGE IN MESONET STATIONS. GIVEN ALL THESE OBSERVATIONS...WILL LEAN FORECAST TOWARDS RUC/NAM SOLNS. CONVECTION SHOULD ROLL OFF THE MOUNTAINS THROUGH THE AFTN...WITH LAPSE RATES STEEPENING ALOFT WITH INCOMING SYSTEM...COMBINED WITH SOME SFC BASED HEATING IN CLOUD BREAKS ALONG THE EASTERN SLOPES/ADJACENT PLAINS...COULD SEE CAPES OF UP 1000-1500J/KG. DEEP LAYER SHEARS RUNNING AROUND 40 KTS...SUPPORTIVE OF SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS. LCLS ARE LOW...AND WHERE LOW LVL WINDS TURN EASTERLY...HELICITIES WILL BECOME ENHANCED TO SUPPORT AN ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT. ALL THIS ACTIVITY CONGEALS INTO AN MCS ACROSS EAST CENTRAL COLORADO DURING THE EVENING BEFORE EXITING EASTERN CO. STRATUS MAKES ANOTHER PUSH INTO SE COLORADO OVERNIGHT WITH ANOTHER CLOUDY START TO THE DAY ON FRIDAY. FRIDAY LOOKS A BIT LESS ACTIVE...WITH DRIER AIR MOVING INTO WESTERN SECTIONS OF THE DISTRICT. LITTLE TO NO SHORTWAVES EVIDENT IN PV FIELDS TO HELP ENHANCE TSTORM DEVELOPMENT. HOWEVER...MOIST AIRMASS WILL STILL BE BANKED UP ALONG THE EASTERN SLOPES OF THE SE MTS. BY AFTN...NAM HAS DEW POINTS DECREASING INTO THE 40S INSTEAD OF THE 50S...SO THERE COULD BE LESS CAPE ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE SE PLAINS. HOWEVER...AFTERNOON HEATING WILL LIKELY ACT ON THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE MOISTURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS TO FIRE OFF SCATTERED AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS. WITH EASTERLY SFC FLOW BENEATH MODERATE WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT...DEEP LAYER SHEARS ARE STILL RUNNING AROUND 50 KTS...SO COULD SEE A SEVERE STORM OR TWO ACROSS THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS AND ADJACENT PLAINS. THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE OFF INTO THE ADJACENT PLAINS DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING WITH BEST THREAT AREA PROBABLY ALONG/NORTH OF THE PALMER DIVIDE. .LONG TERM... (FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY) WILL KEEP THE DISCUSSION BRIEF DUE TO ONGOING SEVERE POTENTIAL. LONG RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN THE PERSISTENT WEATHER PATTERN ALOFT FOR THE STATE THROUGH THE PERIOD. THAT IS...UPPER TROUGH REMAINS ANCHORED TO THE WEST COAST...PROVIDING SW FLOW ALOFT FOR THE 4 CORNERS WITH INTERMITTENT PIECES OF ENERGY RIDING THE FLOW UP INTO COLORADO. MEANHWILE...OCCASIONAL NORTHERLY SURGES OF SFC HI PRESSURE AND COOLER MORE MOIST AIR WILL DROP DOWN THE MID-SECTION OF THE COUNTRY...PROVIDING MOIST LLVL UPSLOPE FLOW ACROSS THE PLAINS. THEREFORE...THERE WILL REMAIN AT LEAST AN ISOLATED CHANCE FOR CONVECTION DAY AND NIGHT THROUGH TIL THU. THE PATTERN IS SUCH THAT THE AREAS WITH THE HIGHEST POTENTIAL WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE MTS...MORE SO THE CONTDVD...AND THE PALMER DVD/RAMPART RANGE AREA. PLENTY OF SHEAR...0-6 KM BULK AT 45-55 KTS...AND CAPES OF 1200-NEAR 2000 J/KG ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS MEANS SATURDAY STILL LOOKS TO BE A DAY FOR POTENTIAL SEVERE WX. ENHANCED CAPE SHIFTS FROM THE SE CORNER AT 15Z...THE I25 CORRIDOR AT 18Z...THEN ALL OF THE PLAINS BY 21Z. ONE OF THE DECIDING FACTORS WILL BE THAT THE MODELS ARE INDICATING HEALTHY EASTERLY FLOW EARLY MORNING. IF THIS EQUATES TO THICK AM CLOUD COVER...THINGS MAY HAVE A LONGER TIME TO GET GOING. AS STATED EARLY...PATTERN REMAINS SOMEWHAT STAGNANT THRU THE PERIOD...AND AT THIS POINT FINE-TUNING REALLY NEEDS TO BE DONE ON THE FRONT END. MOORE && .AVIATION... SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON...WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN...MVFR CIGS...HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS THE PRIMARY THREATS. A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE...WHICH COULD AFFECT THE KCOS AND KPUB TAF SITES BETWEEN 22Z AND 02Z. THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY CONGEAL INTO A THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX ACROSS EAST CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST COLORADO LATE THIS EVENING. IFR TO MVFR STRATUS DECK SHOULD SPREAD BACK INTO EASTERN CO AFTER 06Z...AFFECTING THE KCOS AND KPUB TAF SITES. CIGS MAY BREAK A LITTLE SOONER ON FRIDAY. THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE AGAIN FRIDAY AFTERNOON. && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && 31/27

ALTHOUGH SEVERE WEATHER ACTIVITY WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS ALL OF THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...THE BEST CHANCE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL BE ALONG THE PALMER DIVIDE AND NORTHERN SLOPES OF THE RATON RIDGE. THE PRIMARY THREATS OF THESE STORMS WILL BE HAIL THE SIZE OF GOLF BALLS AND WIND GUSTS TO 70 MPH. AN ISOLATED TORNADO WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS ALL OF THE PLAINS...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE PALMER DIVIDE AND NORTHERN SLOPES OF THE RATON RIDGE. A MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE IS ALREADY INTERACTING WITH AN UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE WHICH IS CURRENTLY OVER THE SOUTHEAST MOUNTAINS AND HIGH VALLEYS. THE LOW CLOUDS ACROSS THE PLAINS WILL CONTINUE TO ERODE THROUGH THE EARLY AFTERNOON WITH INSTABILITY ON THE INCREASE. STRONG WIND SHEAR CURRENTLY IN PLACE WILL ALLOW FOR A FEW SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP. THIS ACTIVITY WILL LAST INTO THE EVENING HOURS. OVER THE MOUNTAINS...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED. BRIEF PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN AND HAIL UP TO 1/2 INCH IN DIAMETER WILL BE POSSIBLE. ALL THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF DEADLY CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY THERE WILL BE A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY. THE PRIMARY THREATS FROM STORMS OVER THE MOUNTAINS WILL BE LIGHTNING AND WIND GUSTS TO 40 MPH. OVER THE PLAINS...STORMS COULD BE SEVERE...PRODUCING QUARTER SIZE HAIL AND WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH. ON SATURDAY...THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE PLAINS COULD BE ESPECIALLY STRONG. A PASSING UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE...COMBINED WITH DEEP MOISTURE AND STRONG WIND SHEAR COULD RESULT IN TORNADIC SUPERCELLS. THESE STORMS COULD PRODUCE A TORNADO...IN ADDITION TO HAIL OVER 2 INCHES IN DIAMETER AND DOWNBURST WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
