The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Pueblo, CO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at May 26, 6:17 AM MDT, 7 hours 56 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 26, 6:17 AM MDT, 7 hours 56 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO 617 AM MDT WED MAY 26 2010 .SHORT TERM... ...MOISTURE RETURNS TO THE PLAINS... CURRENTLY...ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WERE NOTED OVER THE EASTERN PLAINS OF COLORADO EARLY THIS MORNING. AT 2 AM...ACTIVITY WAS NOTED OVER LAS ANIMAS COUNTY AND FAR NORTHEAST COLORADO. DEWPTS HAVE COME UP OVER THE PLAINS...WITH MANY AREAS WELL INTO THE 50S. WITH THE HIGHER MSTR OVER THE PLAINS...SPLOTCHY AREAS OF LOW CLOUDS WERE NOTED OVER THE REGION. THIS MORNING... MAIN CONCERN THIS PERIOD WILL BE EXTENT OF LOW CLOUDS. AS MENTIONED ABOVE...AREAS OF LOW CLOUDS WERE ALREADY FORMING OVER ALL OF THE PLAINS...AND THE AREA WILL ONLY LIKELY INCREASE AS THE MORNING PROGRESSES. FOR THIS REASON HAVE MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES OVER MOST OF THE PLAINS...WITH THE LEAST AMOUNT DOWN TOWARDS KTAD WERE A NORTHERLY COMPONENT TO THE WIND FIELD WILL BE LESS FAVORABLE FOR LOW CLOUDS. THIS AFTERNOON... INTERESTING SIGNAL IN THE SHORT RANGE GUIDANCE...INCLUDING THE RUC...NAM AND LOCAL WRF RUN. ALL THESE MODELS SHOWING CONVECTION BREAKING OUT ACROSS C LAS ANIMAS COUNTY RATHER EARLY...1 PM-ISH ...AND THEN EXPANDING NORTHEAST AS THE AFTERNOON PROGRESSES. SINCE WE HAVE QUITE A BIT OF CONTINUITY AND AGREEMENT...DREW UP POP GRIDS TO REFLECT THIS PATTERN IN QPF FOR THE AFTERNOON PERIOD. INTERESTINGLY...SIMULATIONS KEEP MOST OF PUEBLO AND EL PASO COUNTY DRY ALONG WITH THE MTNS. I AM NOT TOO SURE ABOUT THIS AND HAVE INCLUDED SOME LOW POPS FOR THESE ABOVE MENTIONED REGIONS. ALL OF THE GUIDANCE INDICATES IT WILL BE DRY WEST OF THE S MTNS...AND HAVE REMOVED POPS OVER THE C MTN AREA...THE SW MTN AREA AND THE SAN LUIS VALLEY REGION. BEST POPS WILL DURING THE MID AND LATE AFTERNOON TIME PERIOD OVER KIOWA...PROWERS AND BENT COUNTIES. SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD BE STRONG GIVEN THE MARGINAL SHEAR AND CAPE WHICH IS FCST TO BE OVER THE AREA. I EXPECT WE WILL SEE SOME HAIL REACHING SVR CRITERIA...BUT I DONT THING WE WILL SEE A TORNADO-FEST THAT WE SAW YESTERDAY GIVEN THAT WE DO NOT HAVE ANY WELL DEFINED BOUNDARIES IN PLACE. NONETHELESS...AN ISOLATED TORNADO CANNOT BE RULED OUT AND SPC HAS A 2% TOR PROB OVER THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON. ON A RELATED NOTE...WE HAVE HAD AROUND ~20 TORNADOES IN THE CWA SO FAR THIS YEAR...AND IF WE CONTINUE AT THIS PACE WE MAY BREAK THE MODERN DAY RECORD (I.E., SINCE 1995) FOR TORNADO EVENTS...THAT IS 28 TORNADOES SET IN 2004. THIS EVENING... MOST IF NOT ALL CONVECTION WILL BE OVER THE FAR EAST COUNTIES AND SHOULD MOVE OUT BY 10 PM. TONIGHT... LIGHT SE FLOW IS EXPECTED SO MOISTURE WILL REMAIN OVER THE PLAINS TONIGHT. LIKEWISE...WE MAY SEE SOME AREAS OF LOW CLOUDS ONCE AGAIN. TEMPS WILL REMAIN MILD WITH LOWS IN THE 50S. /HODANISH .LONG TERM... (THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY) AMPLIFIED PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS WHILE AN UPPER LOW SPINS OVER NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. EXPECT WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS FOR MOST OF SOUTHERN COLORADO ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WITH THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVERHEAD. WHILE INSTABILITY REMAINS HIGH OVER THE PLAINS WITH SURFACE DEW PTS IN THE LOWER 50S...WARM AIR ALOFT WILL KEEP THE PLAINS CAPPED AND LIMIT THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT EACH THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AFTERNOONS. WARMED HIGH TEMPERATURES INTO THE LOWER 90S ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS BOTH AFTERNOONS WHICH IS SLIGHTLY LOWER THAN GUIDANCE. EXPECT TO SEE TERRAIN DRIVEN AFTERNOON CONVECTION OVER THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL MOUNTAINS ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WITH SMALL HAIL AND LIGHTNING. NOT SURE HOW FAR EAST THE CONVECTION OVER THE SANGRE DE CRISTO AND WET MOUNTAIN RANGES WILL MOVE SO HAVE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ALONG THE LEE SLOPES. EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS TO WEAKEN EACH EVENING WITH THE LOSS OF DIURNAL UPSLOPE AND HEATING. THE WEST COAST STORM SYSTEM WILL EJECT ACROSS THE ROCKIES ON SATURDAY. THE CURRENT MODEL RUNS HAVE TRENDED NORTH WITH THE TRACK OF THE STORM SYSTEM. DID NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THE FORECAST FOR SATURDAY WITH THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING OVER THE EASTERN PLAINS DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. IF FUTURE MODEL RUNS CONTINUE TO TAKE THE STORM SYSTEM NORTH...CHANCES OF THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE DIMINISHED AND CONFINED WELL NORTH OF THE AREA. THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER ALSO EXISTS WITH THIS STORM SYSTEM AND WILL BE DEPENDENT ON STORM TRACK. GIVEN THE DYNAMICS OF THE SYSTEM ALONG WITH THE INSTABILITY...MOISTURE AND SHEAR...STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING ESPECIALLY OVER THE FAR EASTERN PLAINS. STAY TUNED FOR MORE ON THIS STORM SYSTEM. A COLD FRONT BEHIND THE DEPARTING STORM WILL DROP SOUTH ACROSS THE PLAINS SATURDAY NIGHT WITH COOLER WEATHER EXPECTED FOR SUNDAY. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO FALL BACK INTO THE 70S AND LOW 80S FOR THE PLAINS. A PATTERN CHANGE TO ZONAL FLOW WILL BECOME ESTABLISHED INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH EMBEDDED SHORTWAVE TROUGHS MOVING ACROSS THE REGION. WITH LITTLE MODEL FORECAST SKILL AT FORECASTING THESE SMALL SCALE FEATURES DURING THIS TIME FRAME...HAVE MAINTAINED SLIGHT CHANCES OF THUNDERSTORMS FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY ALONG WITH TEMPERATURES BACK TO NEAR 90. MOZLEY && .AVIATION... MAIN CONCERN AT KCOS AND KPUB WILL BE LOW CLOUDS THIS MORNING. EXPECT CIGS TO IN THE MVFR RANGE AT BOTH LOCATIONS THIS MORNING...WITH CIGS BREAKING DURING THE 14-15Z TIME PD. MOST SIMULATIONS SHOWING ALL 3 TAF SITES WILL BE DRY AND DO NOT PLAN TO INTRODUCE ANY TEMPO THUNDER GROUPS IN ANY OF THE TAF SITES. LLVL ATMOS WILL REMAIN MOIST TONIGHT AND WE MAY ONCE AGAIN SEE SOME LOW CLOUDS OR FOG AT KPUB AND KCOS LATER TONIGHT. && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && 34/88
