AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
318 PM MDT MON MAY 3 2010

.SHORT TERM...

(TONIGHT AND TUESDAY)

...SHORT TERM CONCERNS INCLUDE WINDS AND TEMPERATURES...

CURRENT WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND RUC UPPER AIR ANALYSIS INDICATING
MODERATE WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT ACROSS THE STATE WITH A STRONG
EASTERN PACIFIC JET CORE TRANSLATING ACROSS THE PAC NW COAST ATTM.
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY ALSO INDICATING AN EMBEDDED SHORT WAVE EJECTING
OUT ACROSS THE NORTHERN GREAT BASIN ATTM. REGIONAL RADAR AND
SATELLITE INDICATING MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES WITH SOME WAVE CLOUDS
DEVELOPING ACROSS THE EASTERN MTS ATTM.

TONIGHT AND TUESDAY...WESTERLY FLOW INCREASES ACROSS THE STATE AS
EJECTING SHORT WAVE CONTINUES TO MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHERN ROCKIES
TONIGHT AND INTO THE NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING.
INCREASING WESTERLY FLOW TO HELP DEEPEN LEE TROUGHING ACROSS THE
I-25 CORRIDOR OVERNIGHT...WITH BREEZY CONDITIONS DEVELOPING ALONG
THE LOWER EASTERN SLOPES AND THE HIGHER TERRAIN WEST OF I-25.
THIS...ALONG WITH WARMING ALOFT WILL KEEP OVERNIGHT LOWS FAIRLY
MILD. LEE TROUGH KICKS OUT ACROSS THE FAR EASTERN PLAINS THROUGH
THE LATE MORNING...AND ALONG WITH STRONG SOLAR HEATING AND STEEP
LAPSE RATES...WILL SEE GUSTY WESTERLY WINDS OF 20 TO 40 MIXING
DOWN ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE EARLY AFTERNOON. WITH H7 TEMPS
PROGGED BETWEEN 4-8C AND DOWNSLOPE FLOW...WILL SEE HIGHS WARMING
INTO THE MID 70S TO MID 80S ACROSS THE PLAINS WITH MAINLY MID 40S
TO MID 60S ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN AND HIGH VALLEYS. THE WARM
TEMPERATURES COMBINED WITH CONTINUED DRY AIR AT THE SFC...WILL
ALLOW FOR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE
AREA...AND AFTER CONSULTING WITH LAND MANAGEMENT AGENCIES ABOUT
FUEL STATUS...WILL ISSUE A RED FLAG WARNING FOR THE SAN LUIS
VALLEY (ZONE 224) FROM 11 AM TO 8 PM. (FUELS ACROSS THE MTS REMAIN
WET AND SNOWPACKED WITH GREEN UP WELL UNDER WAY ACROSS THE EASTERN
PLAINS). -MW

.LONG TERM...
(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)

ZONAL FLOW EXPECTED ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEK AS
SERIES OF SYSTEMS PASSES LARGELY TO THE NORTH OF THE AREA.  THE
FIRST SYSTEM SENDS A SHALLOW COLD FRONT INTO SE CO TUESDAY NIGHT.
NOT MUCH MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FRONT...AND MODELS HAVE
CONTINUED TO BACK OFF ON QPF ACROSS THE THE AREA.  IN SPITE OF
COOLER AIR MASS ACROSS A PORTION OF THE SOUTHEAST
PLAINS...INCREASING SOUTHEAST FLOW SHOULD AID IN DEEP MIXING AND
TEMPS WELL INTO THE 70S WED AFTN. ACROSS WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE
DISTRICT...STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL MIX DOWN IN THE AFTERNOON
AND WITH DEW POINTS IN THE TEENS...SHOULD SEE LOW RELATIVE
HUMIDITY AND CRITICAL CONDITIONS FOR FIRE WEATHER ACROSS THE SAN
LUIS VALLEY. WILL HOIST A FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR ZONE 224 FOR WED
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. THE SRN I-25 CORRIDOR COULD ALSO SEE
SIMILAR CONDITIONS...BUT WITH FUELS GREENING UP ACCORDING TO LAND
MANAGEMENT AGENCIES...NO FIRE WEATHER HIGHLIGHTS WILL BE NEEDED.

PACIFIC NORTHWEST CLOSED LOW OPENS UP AS IT MOVES ACROSS THE NRN
U.S. ROCKIES WED NIGHT/THURS. WED NIGHT LIKELY TO BE A WARM NIGHT
ACROSS THE PLAINS AS SFC LOW DEEPENS ACROSS EASTERN CO IN RESPONSE
TO INCOMING SYSTEM.  EVENTUALLY AS THIS SYSTEM GLANCES BY NRN CO AND
SENDS ANOTHER COLD FRONT THROUGH SE CO DURING THE DAY ON THURS.
MODELS STILL DIFFER WITH THE TIMING OF THE FRONT...WITH 12Z NAM
FASTER AND GFS SLOWER. (18Z NAM HAS TRENDED TOWARDS THE SLOWER GFS
TIMING FOR THE FRONT.) THUS COULD BE ANOTHER WARM DAY ACROSS THE
SE PLAINS WITH MAX TEMPS POTENTIALLY WARMER ON THURS THAN ON WED.
HAVE TRENDED MAX TEMPS UP ALONG THE SRN BORDER AREAS FOR THURS. AS
FOR PRECIP CHANCES...EVERY RUN SEEMS TO TREND THIS SYSTEM FARTHER
AND FARTHER TO THE NORTH...WHICH WOULD SUGGEST MORE WIND AND LESS
PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE AREA. BEST SHOT FOR PRECIPITATION WILL BE
ACROSS THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS. HAVE MAINTAINED SCT POPS ACROSS THE
CENTRAL MTS...BUT BACKED OFF ON POPS ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE
AREA.

DEEPER FRONT DROPS IN THURSDAY NIGHT...AND FRI LOOKS SIGNIFICANTLY
COOLER ACROSS THE EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA.  COULD SEE AN
ISOLATED SHOWER/TSTORM ALONG THE EASTERN MTS/PLAINS ALONG/BEHIND THE
FRONT...BUT ITS LOOKING LESS AND LESS LIKELY WITH EACH RUN.  HAVE
MAINTAINED THE ISO/SCT POPS FOR THE EASTERN MTS THURS NIGHT/FRI WITH
EASTERLY UPSLOPE FLOW...BUT IF MODELS CONTINUE THE TREND OF DRIER
LOW LVLS...THEN LATER SHIFTS MAY NEED TO DECREASES THESE POPS EVEN
MORE.

ANOTHER WARMING AND DRYING TREND EXPECTED FOR THE WEEKEND THROUGH
EARLY NEXT WEEK AS FLOW ALOFT TRANSITIONS TO SOUTHWESTERLY AHEAD OF
THE NEXT SYSTEM MOVING INTO THE WRN U.S. BY SUNDAY.  ECMWF AND GFS
DIFFER ON TIMING AND TRACK BY THE NEW DAY 7 WITH GFS FARTHER SOUTH
AND DEEPER WITH CLOSED LOW MOVING INTO THE GREAT BASIN.  ECMWF HOLDS
TO A MORE NORTHERLY TRACK.  MAIN CHANGE TO GRIDS WAS TO BEGIN TO
TREND TEMPS BACK UPWARD FOR SUNDAY INTO MONDAY.  -KT

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED AT ALL TAF SITES FOR THE NEXT 24
HOURS. COULD SEE LLWS AT KCOS LATER TONIGHT WITH LIGHT EAST TO
SOUTHEAST WINDS AT THE SFC AND INCREASING WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT. GUSTY
WEST TO SOUTHWEST 20-40 MPH EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE AREA
TUESDAY MORNING. -MW
