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 Jul 21, 2:38 PM MDT, 1 hour 56 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 21, 2:38 PM MDT, 1 hour 56 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO 238 PM MDT TUE JUL 21 2009 .SHORT TERM... (TONIGHT AND TOMORROW) CURRENTLY...ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE FORMING ALONG THE SAN JUANS AND IN THE SAN LUIS VALLEY. THE BIGGEST QUESTIONS FOR THE TONIGHT PERIOD ARE HOW STRONG THE CONVECTION WILL BE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AND HOW LONG WILL IT LAST. TONIGHT...AS AN UPPER LEVEL HIGH CONTINUES TO BUILD INTO THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST...A SURFACE LOW IS MAKING ITS WAY ACROSS COLORADO. THE STRONGEST CONVECTION IS FORMING ALONG A BOUNDARY FROM THIS LOW AND IS BEING ENHANCED BY A 500 MB SHORT WAVE TROUGH MOVING THROUGH CENTRAL COLORADO. THIS CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THIS EVENING. THE AREA OF GREATEST THREAT IS THE EASTERN AND CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AND THE SAN LUIS VALLEY. THE GREATEST THREAT IN THESE STORMS IS HEAVY RAIN. THIS IS DUE TO THE HIGH DEW POINTS AND THE LACK OF STRONG MID LEVEL SHEAR. UPSLOPE FLOW WILL CONTINUE ALONG THE I-25 CORRIDOR AND THE EASTERN PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON...AND WILL GIVE WAY TO NORTHERLY FLOW AS THE EVENING CONTINUES. TOMORROW...THE UPPER LEVEL HIGH WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD. DAYTIME MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES WILL BE SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN TODAY BUT WILL CONTINUE TO BE MILDER THAN NORMAL. DAYTIME CONVECTION WILL AGAIN BE AN ISSUE TOMORROW. THE SYSTEM WONT BENEFIT FROM THE MOISTURE POOL AND UPSLOPE FLOW THAT IS PRESENT TODAY. THERE IS STILL A POSSIBILITY FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS TOMORROW AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COLORADO AND OKLAHOMA BORDER AND ALONG THE SOUTHERN MOUNTAINS. HAVE INCREASED POPS TOMORROW AFTERNOON ACCORDINGLY. .LONG TERM... (WEDNESDAY NIGHT - TUESDAY) UPPER RIDGE AXIS IS CENTERED OVER THE FOUR CORNERS REGION THROUGH FRIDAY BEFORE SHORTWAVE TROF MOVES THROUGH THE NORTHERN ROCKIES AND INTO THE PLAINS. UPPER RIDGE AXIS RETROGRADES WEST AND AMPLIFIES OVER THE WEST COAST FOR THE WEEKEND. CWA IN A MORE ACTIVE NORTHWEST FLOW PATTERN FOR THE WEEKEND. LEE SIDE TROF DEVELOPS IN EASTERN COLORADO BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON WITH SURFACE CONVERGENCE ALONG THE TROF AXIS. MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY WILL BE LIMITING FACTORS FOR ANY CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT THURSDAY AFTERNOON. CANNOT RULE OUT THE CHANCE OF A FEW STRAY THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND MOVING ONTO THE PLAINS...BUT KEPT POPS ON THE LOW SIDE. TEMPERATURES WILL BE QUITE MILD WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S TO MID 90S THURSDAY AFTERNOON. FRIDAY/FRIDAY NIGHT...COMPACT SHORTWAVE TROF MOVES SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE NORTHERN ROCKIES. AT THE SURFACE...COOL FRONT BACK DOORS INTO EASTERN COLORADO FRIDAY AFTERNOON. LATEST GFS SHOWS VERY LIMITED MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY AS THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH. HAVE KEPT VERY LOW POPS IN AND TEMPERATURES TOPPING OUT IN THE UPPER 80S AND 90S AT THE LOWER ELEVATIONS. LATER SHIFTS WILL HAVE TO CONTINUE MONITORING THE TIMING OF THE SURFACE COOL FRONT AND POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS. ON SATURDAY...SURFACE UPSLOPE FLOW CONTINUES WITH MUCH BETTER INSTABILITY AND MOISTURE TO WORK WITH AS SIGNIFICANT SHORTWAVE MOVES THROUGH COLORADO. HAVE BUMPED POPS UP A BIT TO ACCOUNT FOR BETTER THUNDERSTORM CHANCES. HAVE ALSO TRENDED HIGH TEMPERATURES A BIT COOLER. CLOUD COVER MAY REDUCE THE SURFACE HEATING AND SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY SATURDAY...SO THIS MAY REDUCE OUR POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS...BUT AGAIN LATER SHIFTS WILL HAVE TO MONITOR THIS POTENTIAL. SURFACE UPSLOPE FLOW WEAKENS SUNDAY WITH MOISTURE LINGERING IN THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND SOUTH CENTRAL COLORADO MOUNTAINS. ON MONDAY... ANOTHER FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS ADVERTISED TO MOVE SOUTH THROUGH THE HIGHS PLAINS ON THE BACK SIDE OF GREAT LAKES UPPER LOW. HAVE TRENDED COOLER FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK. SOME TIMING DIFFERENCES IN THE EXTENDED RANGE MODELS WITH THIS SECONDARY SURGE OF COOLER AIR...WITH GFS FASTER THAN THE ECMWF AT THIS TIME. STARK && .AVIATION... THE LOW CEILINGS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND WILL NOT DISSIPATE UNTIL MID EVENING. VICINITY THUNDERSTORMS WILL ALSO BE A THREAT FOR ALL AIRPORTS THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. AFTER CONVECTION HAS ENDED MID EVENING...IFR CONDITIONS WILL DOMINATE. && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && 14/40
