AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
330 AM MDT TUE JUN 8 2010

.SHORT TERM...
(TODAY AND TONIGHT)

MAIN CONCERN IS THE CHANCE FOR SEVERE WEATHER OVR THE SERN PLAINS.
CURRENTLY A FRONT IS WORKING ITS WAY SOUTHWARD THRU THE SERN PLAINS.
BEHIND THIS FRONT...THE LOW LEVEL WINDS WILL BE EASTERLY AND DEW
POINTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE 50S ACRS THE SERN PLAINS THIS
AFTERNOON.  BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE
FORECAST TO RANGE FROM AROUND 5 C/KM OVR EL PASO COUNTY...TO AROUND
8 C/KM OVR THE FAR SE PLAINS AND ALONG THE SRN BORDER. CAPE VALUES
ARE FORECAST TO BE QUITE LOW OVR NRN PORTIONS OF THE SERN
PLAINS...AND BETWEEN 1000 AND 2000 J/KG ALONG THE SRN BORDER AND
ALONG THE SANGRES. 0-6KM BULK SHEARS ARE EXPECTED TO BE 35 TO 50
KTS.  IT LOOKS LIKE THE BEST CHANCES FOR PCPN SHOULD BE ALONG THE
SRN I25 CORRIDOR AND ADJACENT MTS...AND ALONG THE SRN BORDER AREAS
WHERE THE INSTABILITY WL BE GREATEST.  THIS AREA COULD ALSO SEE A
FEW SEVERE STORMS DEVELOP WITH LARGE HAIL BEING THE MAIN THREAT.
TEMPS OVR WRN AREAS TODAY WL BE SIMILAR TO THOSE ON MONDAY.  OVR THE
SERN PLAINS THE AIR BEHIND THE FRONT WL BE COOLER AND TEMPS WL BE
10-15 DEGREES F COOLER THAN TEMPS ON MONDAY.

TONIGHT MOST OF THE PCPN WL LIKELY END BY MIDNIGHT...BUT COULD SEE
SOME LINGERING PCPN OVR THE FAR SERN PLAINS. WITH ALL THE LOW LEVEL
MSTR REMAINING IN PLACE...WL LIKELY SEE SOME LOW CLOUDS AND PATCHY
FOG DEVELOP LATE TONIGHT. /28

.LONG TERM...
(WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY)

...SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY...
...HOT WITH FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS ON THURSDAY...
...RELIEF BY THE WEEKEND...

MAIN CONCERN IN THE EXTENDED IS POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT SEVERE
WEATHER ON WEDNESDAY. STORM SYSTEM OVER THE PACNW WILL BEGIN MOVING
INLAND...SPREADING AN AREA OF BROAD DIFFLUENT FLOW OVR THE NRN
ROCKIES AS THE UPPER RIDGE SHIFTS EWD INTO THE NRN PLAINS. LEE
TROUGH WILL STRENGTHEN DURING THE DAY...WITH INCREASED UPSLOPE FLOW
IN THE AFTERNOON. CAP IS PRETTY STRONG...WITH H7 TEMPS OF 14-16 DEG
C PERSISTING OVR THE SRN I-25 CORRIDOR. CONVECTION WILL BE LIMITED
EARLY...BUT BY LATE AFTERNOON COMBO OF UPSLOPE FLOW...WEAK UPPER
FORCING...AND CONVERGENCE ALONG AND N OF A DEVELOPING WARM FRONT
SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO INITIATE ISOLD TO SCT CONVECTION OVR SERN CO.
THERE ARE CURRENTLY TWO LOCAL AREAS OF HEIGHTENED THREAT: AREA N AND
E OF A LINE ROUGHLY FROM KLHX TO KSPD...FROM APPROX 22Z-04Z...AND A
MORE LIMITED THREAT OVR THE PALMER DVD FROM ROUGHLY 23Z-02Z. BUFKIT
SOUNDINGS FOR KCOS INDICATE CAPE 2-3000...HELICITIES 1-200...AND
HODOGRAPHS FAVORABLE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF TORNADIC SUPERCELLS.
KLAA SOUNDINGS ARE EVEN MORE IMPRESSIVE...WITH CLASSIC SEVERE SKEW-T
SHOWING CAPES 2500-3500...HELICITIES 2-400...EHI OF 5 PLUS...AND
SWEAT INDEX OF 500. NOT SURPRISINGLY...BOTH REGIONS SHOW BULLSEYES
OF HIGH SIG TOR PARAMETER...WHICH HAS BEEN A STRONG INDICATOR FOR
THE SE PLAINS SO FAR THIS SEASON. THERE IS STILL PLENTY OF TIME FOR
SHIFTS IN THE MODEL FORECASTS...AND CAP POTENTIAL STILL A MAJOR
CAVEAT...BUT THIS IS CERTAINLY ONE OF THE STRONGER SET-UPS FOR SVR
WX THE AREA HAS SEEN THUS FAR THIS SEASON.

THU LOOKS TO BE THE HOTTEST DAY OF THE WEEK...AS MOISTURE IS SWEPT
EWD OF OUR CWA. WHILE NAM INSISTS ON SOME ISOLD CONVECTION LATE IN
THE DAY...HAVE KEPT THE DRY FORECAST INTACT WITH ONLY VIRGA EXPECTED
AT BEST. EXCEPTION MAY BE OVER THE EXTREME ERN ZONES...GENERALLY E
OF HIGHWAY 287...WHERE THE DRYLINE MAY FLIRT WITH THE BORDER
COUNTIES. TEMPS SHOULD NEAR 100 DEG OVER THE LOWER ARK VALLEY WITH
DRY SW WINDS AHEAD OF THE STORM. FIRE WX DANGER WILL AGAIN BE
HIGH...PARTICULARLY OVER THE SAN LUIS VALLEY AND ERN FOOTHILLS.

IN TYPICAL ROCKIES FASHION...THINGS GET EVEN MORE INTERESTING IN
THE FRI-TUE TIME FRAME. STRONG UPPER LOW MOVES INTO THE INTER MTN
WEST AND GRT BASIN ON FRI...AND A COLD FRONT CHARGES SWD THRU THE
NRN ROCKIES BY LATE IN THE DAY. EXPECT A 25-30 DEG SHIFT IN TEMPS
FROM THU-SAT AS THE FRONT MAKES ITS WAY THRU ERN CO SAT MORN. WHILE
ECMWF IS NOT AS AGGRESSIVE WITH THE UPPER LOW...BOTH THE 00Z GFS AND
GLOBAL GEM HAVE A CLOSED LOW OVER THE 4 CORNERS REGION BY SUN
AFTERNOON. H7 TEMPS IN THE GFS FALL TO BELOW ZERO BY MON
MORNING...AS TEMPS GET PROGRESSIVELY LOWER THRU EARLY NEXT WEEK.
WITH SHOWERY WX ACCOMPANYING THE LOW...IF GFS VERIFIES COULD SEE
SOME LIGHT SNOW FOR ELEVS ABOVE AROUND 9K FEET. STAY TUNED...ROSE

&&

.AVIATION...

EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS TODAY AT THE THREE TAF SITES.  COULD SEE SOME
TSTMS IN THE VCNTY OF KCOS AND KPUB THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WHICH
COULD CAUSE SOME BRIEF MVFR CONDITIONS.  THEN LATE TONIGHT AT KPUB
AND KCOS...EXPECT IFR CONDITIONS WITH LOW CLOUDS AND REDUCED VSBY IN
FOG. KALS SHOULD REMAIN VFR TONIGHT. /28

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL PREDOMINANTLY OCCUR OVER
