Area forecast discussion, Jul 30, 3:34 PM MDT, 8 hours 53 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO 334 PM MDT FRI JUL 30 2010 .SHORT TERM... (TONIGHT AND SATURDAY) ...POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN AND FLOODING CONTINUES... WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET. PLENTY OF CELLULAR MONSOONAL CONVECTION...POPPING AND DROPPING ACROSS SOUTHERN COLORADO... ESPECIALLY ALONG AND NEAR THE MOUNTAINS. CAPE IS REALLY THE ONLY THING DRIVING STORMS SO FAR. BUT..WITH NO SHEAR AND LITTLE TO NO CELL MOVEMENT...STORMS THAT ARE GOING UP ARE KILLING THEMSELVES PRETTY QUICK...AND THEN POPPING NEW CELLS ALONG THEIR OUTFLOW. PRETTY CLASSIC MONSOONAL REGIMEN UNDERWAY. MAIN THREAT THIS EVENING WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE THREAT OF HEAVY RAIN AND FLASH FLOODING. FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL CONTINUE UNTIL 9 PM...FOR AREAS IN AND NEAR THE MOUNTAINS. MOISTURE IS STILL RICH AND CELLS MOVEMENTS ARE NEXT TO NIL. THERE IS ALSO SOME THREAT OF HAIL...THE CELL NEAR ORDWAY HAS PUT OUT HAIL FROM 1/2 INCH UP TO THE SIZE OF NICKLES. WILL DO IT AGAIN TOMORROW. MODELS STILL SHOW MONSOONAL PLUME WELL ENTRENCHED OVER THE REGION. STEERING WINDS AND LOW/MID LEVEL FLOW WILL BE SIMILAR TODAY. SO...WENT AHEAD AND HOISTED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR TOMORROW FOR THE SAME AREA AS TODAY. .LONG TERM... (SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY) SATURDAY NIGHT...PLUME OF MONSOON MOISTURE AND MODEST INSTABILITY PROVIDING CONTINUED ISOLATED TO SCATTERED POPS COVERAGE OVER THE CWA THROUGH THE EVENING...THEN NAM HAS ACTIVITY MAINLY FADING AWAY AFTER MIDNIGHT. SUNDAY...IN THE MONSOON PLUME AGAIN...BUT CAPE VALUES ARE FORECAST TO BE GENERALLY LESS THAN 500 J/KG. MOST QPF PRINTED OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN...SO THE POSSIBILITY EXISTS FOR LOCALIZED HEAVY RAIN. WITH MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES 15 TO 17 CELSIUS...EXPECT HIGHS TO BE IN THE MID 80S TO MID 90S PLAINS...MAINLY 80S HIGH VALLEYS...AND 60S AND 70S MOUNTAINS. SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED STORMS WILL FADE AGAIN. WITH NORTHERN ROCKIES SHORTWAVE RIPPLING THROUGH MONDAY INTO TUESDAY MORNING...A BOUNDARY WILL PUSH SOUTH INTO COLORADO AND INTO CWA. QPF FORECAST INDICATES THAT HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION WILL OCCUR IN NORTHERN COLORADO MONDAY EVENING...PERHAPS PUSHING TO THE PALMER DIVIDE AND A BIT FARTHER SOUTH LATER ON. TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE A FEW DEGREES WARMER THAN SUNDAYS VALUES...BEFORE TAILING OFF A FEW DEGREES ON TUESDAY WITH LOWERING MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES. WEDNESDAY...GFS INDICATES THAT THE FOCUS FOR HEAVIER RAIN MAY AGAIN BE TO OUR NORTH IN THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING...BUT MAY MOVE INTO THE CWA AS OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES MOVE SOUTH. THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...TYPICAL MONSOON PATTERN CONTINUES WITH ISOLATED TO SCATTERED CONVECTION FLARING UP IN THE AFTERNOON THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS BOTH DAYS. SHAVED A FEW DEGREES OFF GUIDANCE BOTH DAYS. -TLM- && .AVIATION... MAIN CONCERNS REVOLVE AROUND HEAVY RAIN AND LOW CIGS/VSBY ASSOCIATED WITH THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING AND AGAIN TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND EVENING. LOCALLY HEAVY/INTENSE RAINFALL RATES ARE POSSIBLE. LOCALLY SIGNIFICANT REDUCTIONS TO VISIBILITY IN HEAVY RAIN. ALSO...HAIL FROM 1/2 INCH TO NICKEL SIZE IN DIAMETER POSSIBLE WITH STRONGER CELLS. LW && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... FLASH FLOOD WATCH UNTIL 9 PM MDT THIS EVENING FOR COZ058>068- 072>084-087-088. FLASH FLOOD WATCH FROM SATURDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING FOR COZ058>068-072>084-087-088. && 50/13

SMALL HAIL UP TO DIME SIZE MAY ACCOMPANY THE STRONGER STORMS...BUT THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE FROM LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WHICH WILL BRING THE POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING. THE MOUNTAIN AREAS WILL BE PARTICULARLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO ROCK AND MUD SLIDES FROM STORMS PRODUCING RAINFALL RATES OF 1 TO 2 INCHES PER HOUR. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY THE POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING FROM SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY ALONG THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE AND EASTERN MOUNTAINS...ALONG WITH THE PALMER DIVIDE AND WEST OF THE INTERSTATE 25 CORRIDOR. SLOW STORM MOVEMENTS AND ABUNDANT MOISTURE WILL LEAD TO AN INCREASED POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING SATURDAY...SUNDAY AND MONDAY OVER THE MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN WHERE RAINFALL RATES OVER 1 INCH PER HOUR WAS POSSIBLE. INCREASED STORM MOTIONS BY TUESDAY WILL REDUCE THE FLASH FLOW RISK HOWEVER AREAS THAT SEE HEAVY RAINFALL FOR MULTIPLE DAYS WILL BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO FLASH FLOODING. THERE IS LESS CERTAINTY IN THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY OVER THE PLAINS. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL AID IN PRODUCING THUNDERSTORMS NORTH OF HIGHWAY 50 ON SATURDAY. THE POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE PLAINS INCREASES EARLY NEXT WEEK. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... WEATHER CONDITIONS THAT MEET REPORTING CRITERIA FOR SPOTTERS WILL BE POSSIBLE AFTER 1200 PM MDT OVER THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE...UPPER ARKANSAS VALLEY...SANGRE DE CRISTO RANGE...AND PIKES PEAK REGION INCLUDING TELLER AND NORTHERN EL PASO COUNTIES. 44/88
