.SHORT TERM...
(TONIGHT AND TOMORROW)

...THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...

CURRENTLY...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON ARE FORMING ALONG
THE FAR EASTERN PLAINS ALONG A DRYLINE. WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE 40S
AND 50S THERE WILL BE SUFFICIENT MOISTURE TO ALLOW FOR CONVECTION.
WITH A WEAK SURFACE FRONT AND A WEAK TROUGH ALOFT MOVING THROUGH THE
AREA THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH LIFT TO ALLOW FOR CONVECTION THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THESE STORMS WILL EXTEND AS FAR EAST AS THE I
25 CORRIDOR. THE STRONGEST STORMS WILL BE ALONG THE
COLORADO...KANSAS BORDER.

TONIGHT...THE WEAK UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVING THROUGH SOUTHERN
COLORADO...AND SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW KEEPING DEWPOINTS HIGH...WILL
ALLOW FOR A GOOD CHANCE TO CONTINUE CONVECTION WELL INTO THE
EVENING. ALL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BE OVER BY 2 AM
TOMORROW MORNING. WITH CLEARING SKIES DUE TO THE WEAK RIDGE OVER THE
AREA AND LIGHT WINDS...AREAS OF PATCHY FOG SHOULD DEVELOP ALONG THE
EASTERN PLAINS AND SPREAD EASTWARD TO THE I 25 CORRIDOR THROUGH THE
MID MORNING HOURS. THIS FOG SHOULD LIFT BY 9 AM.

TOMORROW. STRONG SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW WILL DOMINATE THE WEATHER
PATTERN TOMORROW AFTERNOON. THIS SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO
POOL SURFACE MOISTURE INTO THE EASTERN PLAINS AND THE I 25 CORRIDOR.
ANOTHER TROUGH MOVING THROUGH THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW WILL ALLOW FOR A
CHANCE OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS TOMORROW
AFTERNOON. JMC

.LONG TERM...
(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT TUESDAY)

STRONG...BUT SLOW MOVING UPPER TROUGH FORECAST TO OOZE EASTWARD
ACROSS THE WESTERN U.S. THE NEXT FEW DAYS...WHILE UPPER RIDGE
REMAINS IN PLACE OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS. THIS SET-UP WILL PROVIDE
PERSISTENT SOUTHERLY FLOW ACROSS COLORADO...WITH MOIST AIR MASS
OVER THE PLAINS GRADUALLY WORKING WESTWARD OVER THE MOUNTAINS BY
FRIDAY. SHOULD BE ENOUGH INSTABILITY FOR ISOLATED TSRA OVER THE
EASTERN MOUNTAINS AND PLAINS THU...THEN EMPHASIS SHIFTS WESTWARD
FRIDAY...WITH BOTH NAM AND GFS POINTING TOWARD WEAK WAVE AND
BETTER COVERAGE OF CONVECTION OVER THE SAN JUANS FRIDAY AND FRIDAY
NIGHT. MAX TEMPS SHOULD BE FAIRLY WARM ALL AREAS...THOUGH MEX
GUIDANCE NUMBERS LOOK A LITTLE TOO HOT GIVEN RATHER MODEST 700 MB
TEMPS AROUND 10C. WESTERN LOW BEGINS TO EJECT EASTWARD SAT...WITH
STRENGTHENING UPPER LEVEL WINDS AND DRYLINE SHARPENING UP OVER THE
PLAINS. COULD SEE SOME SEVERE STORMS OVER THE SOUTHEAST IF
EVERYTHING COMES TOGETHER RIGHT...THOUGH STILL SOME POTENTIAL FOR
PRECIP KILLING DRY SLOT TO SPREAD OVER MUCH OF THE AREA AS LOW
TRACKS JUST NORTH. FOR NOW...ISOLATED POPS AREAWIDE SHOULD BE
FINE. WILL BE WINDY SAT INTO AT LEAST EARLY SUN...NO MATTER WHAT
THE TRACK OF THE UPPER LOW...WITH FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS INCREASING
OVER THE SAN LUIS VALLEY BOTH DAYS. DRY CONDITIONS EXPECTED IN THE
WAKE OF THE LOW AND COLD FRONT SUN...BEFORE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
BEGINS TO SURGE WESTWARD AGAIN MON/TUE OVER THE PLAINS. --PETERSEN

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE FOR THE TAF SITES.
THERE IS A POSSIBILITY FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS NEAR KCOS AND
KPUB LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. GUSTY WINDS WILL
CONTINUE AT ALL THREE TAF SITES UNTIL THE INVERSION TAKES OVER MID
EVENING. WITH WEAK WINDS AND CLEARING SKIES OVERNIGHT THERE IS A
GOOD CHANCE FOR PATCHY FOG TOMORROW MORNING ALONG THE I 25
CORRIDOR AND THE EASTERN PLAINS. THIS FOG SHOULD LIFT BY 9 AM.
THIS FOG AND THE SUBSEQUENT LOW CEILINGS MAY LOWER CONDITIONS
