Area forecast discussion, Jun 12, 2:58 PM MDT, 5 hours 23 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO 258 PM MDT SAT JUN 12 2010 .SHORT TERM... (TONIGHT AND SUNDAY) ...NEED TO WATCH CONVECTION ORIGINATING OVER BOUNDARY TO OUR SOUTH THIS EVENING... MAIN CONCERN THIS EVENING IS BOUNDARY TO OUR SOUTH...VISIBLE IN SATELLITE PICTURES RUNNING FROM KLVS TO KTCC TO KBGD TO VICINITY OF KDDC. CONVECTIVE INITIATION IS UNDERWAY OVER THIS BOUNDARY...WITH STORMS TRACKING RAPIDLY TO THE NORTH AT 30-35 MPH. STORMS NEAR MAXWELL NM...SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST OF RATON HAVE BEEN ROTATING. WILL HAVE TO WATCH THESE AND SEE IF THEY CAN SUSTAIN THEMSELVES AT ALL AS THEY GET FARTHER NORTH OVER THE COOL...STABLE SURFACE AIR OVER THE EASTERN COLORADO PLAINS. A COUPLE STORMS EARLIER TODAY THAT TRACKED RAPIDLY NORTH ACROSS TELLER COUNTY WERE ALSO ROTATING. THEY CONTINUED TO ROTATE AS THEY TRACKED NORTHEAST ACROSS THE PLAINS ADJACENT TO THE FRONT RANGE. THE RADAR IDENTIFIED A MESO AT ONE POINT. OTHER STORMS ARE NOW SHOWING UP OVER THE TX AND OK PANHANDLES...TRACKING RAPIDLY NORTH...POSSIBLY AFFECTING THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF COLORADO LATER ON. SO...WILL HAVE TO KEEP A WATCHFUL EYE ON THINGS THIS EVENING. STORMS WILL LIKELY HAVE A HARD TIME SUSTAINING THEMSELVES AS THEY MOVE NORTH INTO THE COOL...STABLE AIRMASS OVER EASTERN COLORADO. BUT...STRONG SHEAR MAY BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN BRIEF SPINNING STORMS AS THEY CROSS THE COLORADO BORDER. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR. FOR TOMORROW...ATMOSPHERE CONTINUES TO LOOK COOL AND PRETTY STABLE OVER MOST OF THE PLAINS. HOWEVER...A NARROW BAND OF CAPE AND INSTABILITY DEVELOPS ALONG AND NEAR THE MOUNTAINS IN THE AFTERNOON. NOT A LOT OF CAPE INDICATED (500 J/KG) WHICH MAKES SENSE GIVEN THE COOL AIRMASS. BUT...SINCE THE AIR IS SO COOL...THIS AMOUNT OF CAPE COULD EASILY PRODUCE SOME SMALL HAIL (GENERALLY DIME SIZE OR LESS). ALSO...THE THREAT OF LIGHTNING. THE BEST CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS TOMORROW AFTERNOON SHOULD BE CONFINED MAINLY TO AREAS ALONG AND WEST OF THE I-25 CORRIDOR...WITH AREAS FARTHER EAST TENDING TO BE TOO STABLE. HOWEVER...THE SOUTHERN BORDER COUNTIES WILL SEE AN INCREASING THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS...AND SEVERE WEATHER...AS THIS AREA DESTABILIZES LATER IN THE DAY. WILL CONTINUE TO ASSESS WITH LATER MODEL RUNS THIS EVENING. ON A FINAL NOTE...MOST OTHER AREAS WILL SEE A PRETTY GOOD CHANCE AT SOME RAIN SHOWERS TONIGHT...WITH ADDITIONAL ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWER ACTIVITY ON SUNDAY. ELEVATIONS ABOVE 10000 FEET WILL CONTINUE TO SEE THE THREAT OF SOME LIGHT...WET SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF GENERALLY AN INCH OR LESS BUT WITH LOCALLY UP TO 3 INCHES POSSIBLE. .LONG TERM... (SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY) ...WARMING BACK UP NEXT WEEK... AS AN UPPER LOW BEGINS TO LIFT OUT NEWD INTO THE DAKOTAS SUN NI AND MON...THE BASE OF THE TROUGH WILL LAG BEHIND OVER THE CENTRAL ROCKIES. THE GFS IS A LITTLE LESS AMPLIFIED WITH THE TROUGH...AND BRINGS A RETURN OF SE FLOW TO THE ERN PLAINS...WHILE THE NAM KEEPS OUR AREA IN A COOLER AIR MASS. HAVE LEANED TOWARD THE NAM...BUT HINTED AT A RETURN OF SLIGHTLY WARMER AIR FOR AREAS S OF THE ARKANSAS. BEST POPS REMAIN SUN EVE...TAPERING OFF TO THE S OVERNIGHT. BY MON...EXPECT ONLY ISOLD TO SCT SHOWERS...MAINLY OVER THE HYR TRRN. THERE WILL BE A BRIEF RETURN OF DEEPER MOISTURE ON TUE...WITH THE THREAT OF SOME STRONG TO POSSIBLY SVR STORMS OVR THE PLAINS IN THE AFTERNOON. TEMPS SHOULD RETURN TO NEAR AVG VALUES. MOISTURE IS SHORT-LIVED...HOWEVER...AS DRY SW WINDS INCREASE AGAIN THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK AHEAD OF AN UPSTREAM SYSTEM. BOTH GFS AND WC ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN LIFTING THIS NEXT SYSTEM TO THE NE THROUGH WY...WHICH WOULD KEEP OUR CWA IN DRY W TO SW FLOW. EXPECT TEMPS TO ONCE AGAIN CLIMB ABOVE AVG...AND ONLY ISOLD SHWRS/TS FOR THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. THU AND FRI SHOULD BE THE WARMEST DAYS...AND WINDY CONDITIONS ON THU COULD LEAD TO SOME FIRE WX CONCERNS. IN GENERAL...THE DRYLINE SHOULD STAY E OF OUR AREA...WITH THE POSSIBLE EXCEPTION OF THE CO/KS BORDER COUNTIES. ROSE && .AVIATION...WIDESPREAD MVFR CIGS IN STRATUS ALONG AND EAST OF THE MOUNTAINS TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY...WITH SOME IMPROVEMENT MOVING IN FROM THE WEST BY AFTERNOON. ALSO...LOCAL IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE IN SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN. LOCAL IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS ALSO POSSIBLE IN THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING AND AGAIN TOMORROW AFTERNOON. LW && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && 50/44
