AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
437 AM MDT MON MAY 25 2009

.SHORT TERM...
(TODAY AND TONIGHT)

METEOROLOGICAL ISSUES THIS CYCLE ONCE AGAIN WILL BE PRECIPITATION
COVERAGE AND INTENSITY AS WELL AS TEMPERATURES.  CWFA CURRENTLY
GRACED BY GENERALLY DECREASING SHOWER ACTIVITY...VARIABLE CLOUDINESS
AND GENERALLY LIGHT WINDS MOST AREAS.  MILD EARLY MORNING LATE MAY
TEMPERATURES CONTINUE WITH 4 AM TEMPERATURES GENERALLY IN THE 50S
FROM THE EAST SLOPES OF THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS/FOOTHILLS INTO THE
SOUTHEASTERN COLORADO PLAINS WITH 30S AND 40S ELSEWHERE.  RELATIVELY
HEALTHY DEW POINTS FROM AROUND 50F TO THE UPPER 50S ALSO NOTED
OVER EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWFA AT 4 AM THIS MORNING.

LATEST COMPUTER PROJECTIONS...FORECAST MODEL SOUNDINGS AND REAL TIME
DATA/SATELLITE TRENDS INDICATE THAT PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WILL
BE ON A SLOW DECREASE DURING THE SHORT TERM...HOWEVER PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUES ARE PROJECTED TO REMAIN BETWEEN 125 AND 200 PERCENT OF LATE
MAY AVERAGES OVER MANY AREAS. IN ADDITION...NORTHERLY SURGE MAKING
ITS WAY ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS HAS TO POTENTIAL TO INCREASE
PRECIPITATION POTENTIAL...ESPECIALLY IF THE 00Z/25TH GFS COMPUTER
GUIDANCE IS ACCURATE(THE 06Z/25TH NAM12 IS MUCH MORE CONSERVATIVE
WITH PRECIPITATION POTENTIAL). SO WILL ONCE AGAIN MENTION THE
POTENTIAL FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IN GRIDS/ZONES FROM
APPROXIMATELY 18Z TODAY TO AROUND 06Z TUESDAY. CONTEMPLATED HOISTING
FLASH FLOOD WATCH FROM THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT OVER PORTIONS OF
THE CWFA...HOWEVER DECIDED TO HOLD OFF FOR NOW...WFO PUEBLO WILL
CONTINUE TO MONITOR LATEST TRENDS CLOSELY.

ONCE AGAIN WITH PROJECTED LOCALIZED AFTERNOON/EVENING CAPES/LIS AND
0-6 KM BULK SHEARS NEARING 2500 J/KG/-5C AND 20 KTS RESPECTIVELY CAN
NOT DISCOUNT THE POTENTIAL THAT A COUPLE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
COULD ALSO BE NOTED...ALTHOUGH MAY BE TOUGH TO REALIZE WITH THE LOW
0-6KM BULK SHEAR VALUES AND RELATIVELY LIMITED SURFACE HEATING.

SIMILAR TO THE PAST FEW DAYS...WILL PAINT GENERALLY ISOLATED TO
NUMEROUS COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TODAY AND
TONIGHT...WITH HIGHEST COVERAGE AND MOST INTENSE ACTIVITY EXPECTED
FROM THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT.  ALSO WILL SHOW SOME PATCHY FOG
DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS TODAY WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF PATCHY
FOG ONCE AGAIN POSSIBLE TUESDAY MORNING.

MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES THIS AFTERNOON SHOULD BE RATHER SIMILAR TO
VALUES NOTED SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AFTERNOON(ALTHOUGH MAXIMUMS MAY BE
NOTED EARLIER IN THE DAY...ESPECIALLY EASTERN PORTIONS DUE TO
FRONT/INCREASING POP POTENTIAL) WHILE MINIMUM TEMPERATURES ON
TUESDAY MORNING SHOULD RUN A CATEGORY OR SO COOLER THAN VALUES
NOTED THIS MORNING.

.LONG TERM...
(TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)

QUITE A BIT COOLER TEMPERATURES EXPECTED FOR TUESDAY BEHIND THE COLD
FRONT.  SECONDARY REINFORCING SURGE WILL BE THROUGH MOST OF THE SE
PLAINS EARLY TUES MORNING.  COULD BE SOME SHOWERS ONGOING IN THE
MORNING ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA AS LOW LVL MOISTURE BANKS UP ACROSS
THE EASTERN MTS...AND STILL ENOUGH MID/HIGH LVL MOISTURE WITH
EMBEDDED WEAK SHORTWAVES ACROSS WRN AREAS.  CHALLENGE FOR TUES AFTN
WILL BE COVERAGE OF THUNDERSTORM REDEVELOPMENT.  WITH UPPER TROF
AXIS EAST OF THE AREA AND SUBSIDENCE BEHIND THIS FEATURE ACROSS THE
EASTERN PLAINS...COMBINED WITH COOLER AND POTENTIALLY MORE STABLE
AIRMASS ACROSS THE PLAINS...STILL THINK THAT EASTERN AREAS MAY HAVE
A DIFFICULT TIME SEEING MUCH AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORM REDEVELOPMENT.
HAVE DECREASED POPS ACROSS THE EASTERN AREAS.  HOWEVER WITH UPSLOPE
FLOW AND TROP PRESSURE FIELDS SHOWING SOME WEAK ENERGY MOVING INTO
WRN AND SRN AREAS...SHOULD SEE THUNDERSTORMS REDEVELOP ACROSS THE
MOUNTAINS AND RATON RIDGE BY AFTN.  DEW POINTS DECREASE SOME ACROSS
THE EASTERN PLAINS AS DRIER AIR ADVECTS IN FROM THE NORTH.
HOWEVER...DEW POINTS STAY IN THE LOWER/MID 40S ALONG/WEST OF THE
I-25 CORRIDOR WHICH RESULTS IN PRECIPITABLE WATERS RUNNING 150-200%
OF NORMAL.  THUS...HEAVY RAIN AND LIGHTNING WILL BE THE PRIMARY
THREATS...ALONG WITH SOME SMALL HAIL ASSOCIATED WITH THE STRONGER
STORMS.

UPPER RIDGE TO THE WEST BEGINS TO TRANSLATE EASTWARD TOWARDS THE
REGION FOR MID TO LATE WEEK.  THIS LEADS TO A GRADUAL WARMING
TREND.  STILL ENOUGH MOISTURE TRAPPED WITHIN THE RIDGE TO KEEP
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FCST FOR THE MTS...BUT EASTERN PLAINS
SHOULD SEE A DRYING TREND TOWARDS BY THURS AS SFC DEW POINTS DROP
AND NORTHERLY STEERING FLOW ALOFT SHOULD KEEP ANY THUNDERSTORMS
WHICH DO DEVELOP ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS FROM DRIFTING ONTO THE
PLAINS.  HAVE TRIMMED POPS OUT OF THE PLAINS FOR THURS.

TEMPERATURES SHOULD CLIMB BACK INTO THE 80S ACROSS THE PLAINS BY
FRI...EVEN WARMING TO NEAR 90 BY NEXT WEEKEND.  HIGH COUNTRY TEMPS
SHOULD CLIMB INTO THE 60S AND 70S WITH MID 40S AND 50S ABOVE 11KFT.
SOME DIFFERENCES IN THE ECMWF AND GFS BEGIN TO APPEAR BY NEXT
WEEKEND...AS GFS CUTS DOWN THE UPPER RIDGE AS NEXT TROF DROPS MOVES
THROUGH SRN CANADA.  ECMWF KEEPS MORE UPPER RIDGING OVER THE AREA.
GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTIES...NO CHANGES MADE BEYOND FRI.  IF ECMWF
HOLDS TRUE...MAY NEED TO CONTINUE THE TREND OF INCREASING TEMPS...AND
DECREASING POPS ACROSS THE PLAINS. -KT

&&

.AVIATION...
ALL THREE TAF SITES MAY EXPERIENCE MVFR TO BRIEFLY IFR VISIBILITIES
AND CEILINGS DUE TO SOME LOW CLOUDS AND FOG THROUGH ABOUT 15Z TODAY
WITH VFR CONDITIONS THEN RETURNING TO ALL THREE TAF SITES FOR THE
REMAINDER OF TODAY.  ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS...SOME CONTAINING LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND POSSIBLY
HAIL...WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BRIEFLY REDUCE VISIBILITIES AND
CEILINGS TO MVFR VALUES...ESPECIALLY DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS OVER
ALL THREE TAF SITES.

.PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NONE.
