AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
238 PM MDT SAT JUN 13 2009

.SHORT TERM...
(TONIGHT AND SUNDAY)

MAIN CONCERN IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER.  VERY MOIST LOW
LEVELS ACRS THE SE PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON WITH DEW POINTS IN THE
UPPER 40S TO MID 50S. BOTH THE RUC13 AND NAM12 SHOW QUITE A BIT OF
CIN OVR THE FAR SE PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...WITH LESS CIN
ALONG THE I25 CORRIDOR.  THE LATEST MESOANALYSIS SHOWS 1500-2000
J/KG OF CAPE ALONG THE I25 CORRIDOR EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...WITH THE
NAM AND RUC SHOWING THE POSSIBILITY OF HIGHER CAPE VALUES LATER THIS
AFTERNOON/EARLY THIS EVENING. DEEP LAYER SHEAR VALUES ARE ABOUT
45-50 KTS...SO CANNOT RULE OUT TORNADOES. UPR LVL LIFT ASSOCIATED
WITH A SHRTWV TROF MOVING OVR THE STATE WL ENHANCE SEVERE WEA
CHANCES. AT THIS POINT THE I25 CORRIDOR SEEMS TO HAVE THE BEST
CHANCE OF SEVERE WEATHER TO START WITH...BUT COULD THEN SEE SEVERE
SPREAD EWRD.  LATER TONIGHT LOW CLOUDS WL AGAIN SPREAD ACRS THE SE
PLAINS...BUT LOOKS LIKE THEY MAY BREAK UP EARLIER SUNDAY THAN THEY
DID TODAY FOR GOOD HEATING. DEW POINTS LOOK A LITTLE DRIER TOMORROW
OVR THE SE PLAINS WITH MID 40S TO LOWER 50S EXPECTED...STILL GOOD
ENOUGH FOR ISOLD TO SCT STORMS. NAM IS SHOWING A WEAK SHRTWV MOVING
ACRS CO ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON.  WE COULD AGAIN SEE A FEW SEVERE
STORMS.  SHEAR VALUES WL AGAIN BE AROUND 50 KTS...WITH CAPE VALUES
OF MAYBE AROUND 1500-2000 J/KG ACCORDING TO THE NAM WITH LITTLE CIN.

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

WITH IMPENDING WEATHER WILL MAKE THIS BRIEF...

SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT THROUGH MONDAY...AND MOIST...UNSTABLE
AIR...WILL ALLOW FOR ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY EVENING.

AS SHORTWAVE MOVES TOWARD AND NORTH OF CWFA ON MONDAY...UPPER
FORCING AND INSTABILITY...AND COOL FRONT MOVING INTO THE SOUTHEAST
PLAINS DURING MONDAY AFTERNOON...CHANCE POPS LOOKS REASONABLE FOR
MUCH OF PLAINS...AND ISOLATEDS ELSEWHERE.

FOR TUESDAY...UPSLOPE FLOW AND MARGINALLY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE WILL
YIELD ISOLATED STORMS ACROSS THE PLAINS...AS WELL AS THE MOUNTAINS
AND HIGH VALLEYS.

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...SHORTWAVE RIDGE GETS PUMPED UP WITH UPPER
LOW TO THE WEST...AND FAIRLY DRY AND HOT PATTERN DEVELOPS OVER
CWFA. THURSDAY...GFS FORECASTS SHORTWAVE TO BRUSH BY TO OUR NORTH
WHICH COULD DRAG A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY INTO THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS
LATE THURSDAY...AND CAUSE SOME ISOLATED CONVECTION.

THEN FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...RIDGE REBUILDS OVER CWFA...GIVING
RELATIVELY DRY AND HOT WEATHER TO THE AREA...WITH BEST CHANCES FOR
PRECIPITATION SHIFTED TO NORTHERN COLORADO. -TLM-
