AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO 803 PM MDT THU JUL 15 2010 .UPDATE... CURRENT RADAR IMAGERY SHOWS A LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS STRETCHING FROM EASTERN KIOWA COUNTY SOUTHWEST INTO OTERO COUNTY. RADAR IS INDICATING THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE SEVERE STRAIGHT LINE WINDS THROUGH 10 PM AS THE LINE MOVES SOUTH AND EAST ACROSS THE PLAINS. HAIL TO 1.5 INCHES WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE ALONG WITH RAINFALL IN EXCESS OF 1 INCH. THERE HAVE BEEN A COUPLE OF REPORTS OF SHORT LIVED TORNADOES ALONG THE STRONGEST PORTION OF THE STORM OVER KIOWA...BENT AND PROWERS COUNTIES. EXPECT THIS THREAT TO CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO AS THE LINE MOVES SOUTH. REMOVED THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE FORECAST OVER EL PASO AND PUEBLO COUNTY ALONG WITH THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS NORTH OF WALSENBURG AS THE THUNDERSTORM THREAT HAS MOVED EAST OF THE AREA. NO OTHER CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE FORECAST FOR NOW. MOZLEY && .AVIATION... THE THUNDERSTORM THREAT LOOKS TO HAVE ENDED FOR ALL TAFS FOR THIS EVENING. A BOUNDARY IS WORKING ITS WAY WEST WHICH WILL IMPACT KCOS AND KPUB BY 03Z. NO OTHER CHANGES AT THIS TIME. MOZLEY && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 226 PM MDT THU JUL 15 2010/ SHORT TERM... (TONIGHT AND FRIDAY) ..MAIN SHORT TERM CONCERN REMAIN SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL ACROSS THE PLAINS THROUGH THIS EVENING... CURRENT WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND RUC UPPER AIR ANALYSIS INDICATING GENERALLY WEAK WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT ACROSS THE STATE AS UPPER LEVEL RIDGING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS THROUGH THE DESERT SW IS EXPANDING INTO THE SOUTHERN GREAT BASIN REGION ATTM. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY ALSO INDICATING VERY DRY AIR EMBEDDED WITHIN THE FLOW ALOFT...SAVE ALONG WITH COLORADO AND NEW MEXICO BORDER...WITH MONSOONAL MOISTURE PLUME SHUNTED TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF THE STATE. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE...HOWEVER IS IN PLACE ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS WITH CURRENT DEW PTS IN THE MID 50S TO MID 80S...WITH DEW PTS IN THE MID 20S TO MID 40S ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN AND HIGH VALLEYS ATTM. REGIONAL SATELLITE AND RADARS INDICATING CU BUILDING ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN WITH A FEW ECHOES ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN MTS ATTM. THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...CURRENT AND PROGGED CAPES ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS ARE BETWEEN 1500-3000 J/KG. LOW LEVEL UPSLOPE INCREASES ACROSS THE PLAINS THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON WITH LOWERING PRESSURES ACROSS THE HIGH TERRAIN...AND COMBINED WITH 20-25KT WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT...WILL ALLOW FOR POTENTIAL OF A FEW SUPER CELLS WITH BULK SHEARS BETWEEN 30-40KTS THROUGH THE LATE EVENING. HOWEVER...THE DRIER WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT IS HELPING TO MIX OUT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ACROSS THE EASTERN MTS (LXV AND LAKE GEORGE RAWS DEW PTS MIXED FROM MID 40S AND MID 50S TO THE LOWER 20S AND MID 30S FROM 16Z TO 18Z) AND WITH NO EVIDENT SHORT WAVE TO HELP INITIATE CONVECTION...WILL NEED RELAY ON SOLAR HEATING. CONVECTIVE TEMPS ACROSS THE PLAINS ARE IN THE UPPER 80S TO MID 90S WHICH WITH THE MORNING CLOUDS AND INCREASING LOW LEVEL UPSLOPE MAY NOT BE MET...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE FAR SE PLAINS. WITH THAT SAID AND CONVECTION ALREADY UNDERWAY ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN MTS...SHOULD SEE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUING TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE EASTERN MTS...WITH STORMS MOVING OFF THE HIGHER TERRAIN HELPING TO FIRE A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE IMMEDIATE ADJACENT PLAINS THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING. MAIN THREATS FROM THE SEVERE STORMS WILL BE LARGE HAIL UP TO 1.5 INCHES IN DIAMETER ALONG WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND GUSTY WINDS UP TO 50 MPH POSSIBLE WITH ALL STORMS THROUGH THE EVENING. ANY CONVECTION SHOULD DIMINISH WITH THE SUN AND WITH DRY WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT...SHOULD CLEARING FROM SEE WEST TO EAST THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT. FRIDAY...UPPER LEVEL RIDGING ACROSS THE DESERT SW AND SOUTHERN GREAT BASIN CONTINUES TO BUILD INTO WESTERN COLORADO ALLOWING FOR CONTINUED WARMING AND DRYING ALOFT WITH H7 TEMPS PROGGED BETWEEN 16C AND 20C...WARMEST ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF THE AREA. WITH THE WARMING ALOFT AND STRONG MID JULY SUNSHINE SHOULD SEE HIGHS WARMING BACK INTO THE 90S AND LOWER 100S ACROSS THE PLAINS WITH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE PROGGED TO MIX OUT ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE AREA THROUGH THE LATE MORNING. THERE HOWEVER LOOKS TO BE ENOUGH MOISTURE REMAINING ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN MTS AND FAR SE PLAINS...COMBINED WITH SOLAR HEATING...WITH PRODUCE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS MOST NUMEROUS ACROSS THE SE MTS WITH A FEW STRONGER STORMS POSSIBLE WITH CAPES VALUES PROGGED BETWEEN 800-1200 J/KG. ANY CONVECTION ELSEWHERE WILL BE HIGHER BASED...WITH MORE WIND THAN RAINFALL EXPECTED. -MW LONG TERM...

THE AVAILABLE MSTR IN ADDITION TO DAYTIME HEATING AND OCNL SHRTWV TROFS MOVING THRU THE FLOW OVR THE AREA...SHOULD LEAD TO THE POTENTIAL FOR DAILY CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS...WITH THE BEST CHANCES BEING OVR AND NR THE HYR TRRN.
