A 2NDRY SURGE OF COOLER MOISTER LOW LEVEL AIR HAS PUSHED SOUTH TO
THE RATON MESA. THIS BOUNDARY...ALONG WITH WEAK JET DYNAMICS...HAS
CAUSED A FEW SOLD SHOWERS TO POPS UP ALONG THE RATON MESA EARLY THIS
MORNING. DEWPOINTS BEHIND THE BOUNDARY WERE PRIMARILY IN THE 40S...WITH
50 DEWPOINTS ADVECTING IN FROM WC KS.

TODAY...

FIRST...WE WILL SEE A MARGINAL RED FLAG EVENT OVER THE SAN LUIS
VALLEY THIS AFTERNOON. WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH AND MIN RH VALUES BELOW
15% WILL OCCUR.

WE WILL LIKELY SEE 2 OR 3 SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TODAY ACROSS THE
PLAINS. MOST OF THE ACTIVITY...AS SHOWN BY BOTH THE HI RES MODELS
AND THE STANDARD OUTPUT...WILL BE DOWN ALONG THE RATON MESA. THIS
ACTIVITY WILL PRIMARILY A WIND EVENT WITH MARGINAL SEVERE HAIL.
ANOTHER AREA OF CONCERN WILL BE ALONG THE PALMER DIVIDE. MOST
GUIDANCE IS SHOWING THE STORM N OF THE CWA UP IN DENVERS
REGION...BUT THE POSSIBILITY EXIST OF A ROTATING STORMS OVER NE EL
PASO COUNTY POSSIBLY TRACKING INTO KIOWA COUNTY LATER IN THE
EVENING. THIS STORM WILL LIKELY ROTATE A BIT BETTER AND WE COULD SEE
HAIL...WIND AND POSSIBLY A WEAK TORNADO WITH THIS STORM.

GIVEN THE SIGNALS IN THE GUIDANCE...PAINTED HIGHEST POPS ACROSS THE
PALMER DIVIDE AND RATON MESA. I DO NOT PLAN ON MENTIONING SEVERE IN
THE GRIDDS AS THIS WILL LIKELY BE A LOW END EVENT DUE TO THE MODEST
WINDS THROUGHOUT THE ATMOSPHERE. HOWEVER...WILL MENTION IT IN THE
HWO AND GRAPHICAL WX STORY.

ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY FIRE ACROSS THE RATON REGION AROUND 20Z AND
MOVE E-ENE THROUGHOUT THE DAY. STORMS OVER THE PALMER WILL LIKELY
HAVE A LATER START...INITIATING AFTER 22Z. THIS ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY
MOVE IN A DUE E DIRECTION...MAYBE EVEN A BIT E-ESE IF IT ROTATES
STRONG ENOUGH.

ALTHOUGH WE WILL HAVE A SEVERE STORM OR TWO OVER THE AREA...I DO NOT
EXPECT A WATCH FROM SPC DUE TO THE LIMITED AREAL COVERAGE. IF A
WATCH IS ISSUED...IT WOULD LIKELY BE A BLUE BOX (SVR THUNDER WATCH).

TONIGHT...

ACTIVITY WILL MOVE EAST THROUGH THE MID EVENING HOURS...AND SHOULD
BE OUT OF THE STATE BY MIDNIGHT. THE BEST POPS THIS EVENING WILL BE
OVER THE EASTERN 1/2 OF THE PLAINS.

.LONG TERM...
(SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)

...POTENTIAL FOR DANGEROUS FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS MONDAY THROUGH
WEDNESDAY...

SUNDAY...THE UPPER RIDGE OF HI PRES CONTINUES TO BUILD WESTWARD BACK
INTO CO AND NM ON SUNDAY...WHILE AN UPPER LOW SYSTEM OVER THE
PACIFIC STARTS TO MOVE ONSHORE ACROSS CA. CONTINUED HOT AND MAINLY
DRY...WITH BOTH NAM AND GFS MODELS TRYING TO BREAK OUT CONVECTION BY
MIDDAY INITIALLY OVER THE S SANGRES AND RATON MESA...THEN ELSEWHERE
THROUGH THE AFTN AND EVE. CURRENTLY IT LOOKS AS IF IT WILL MAINLY BE
ISOLATED HIGH-BASED CONVECTION ALL AREAS...WITH THE MAIN THREAT
BEING GUSTY WINDS AND LTG.

MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...THE UPPER LOW OVER THE WEST COAST MOVES
NE INTO NV ON MON...WITH AN ASSOCIATED H5 VORT MAX MOVING ACROSS THE
4 CORNERS AND INTO CO SOMETIME DURING THE DAY. MODELS RESPOND BY
BREAKING OUT CONVECTION OVER MUCH OF THE AREA MON AFTN AND EVE...AND
WITH SUCH DRY LOWER LEVELS THIS WILL MOST LIKELY BE A DRY LTG EVENT.
THE NAM AND GFS MODELS DISAGREE SLIGHTLY ON HOW FAR SOUTH THE LOW
DIGS BEFORE MOVING ONSHORE AND THEN TO THE NE...SO THEY DIFFER ON
THE PROXIMITY OF THE LOW TO COLORADO. THERE IS ALSO AN ISSUE WITH
TIMING...WITH SOME OF THE MODEL RUNS POINTING TO POSSIBLY A LATER
WINDOW FOR CONVECTION TO START WHICH WOULD HAVE A HUGE EFFECT ON DRY
LTG COVERAGE. SO...A LOW OF QUESTIONS. HOWEVER...THERE IS THE
POTENTIAL FOR A DRY LTG OUTBREAK FOR THE FORECAST AREA WHICH DOES
NOT HAPPEN THAT OFTEN HERE. NEXT...BOTH TUE AND WED ARE LOOKING LIKE
BRISK SW FLOW ALOFT WILL BE IN PLACE OVER THE REGION...AS WELL AS
HOT TEMPS AND VERY LOW RH LEVELS. IF ANY FIRES START ON MON DUE TO
DRY LTG...THEY COULD VERY EASILY MAKE A MOVE AND GROW ON TUE AND
WED. THEREFORE...FELT IT PRUDENT TO ISSUE A FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR
MON TO ALERT THE AGENCIES OF THE POTENTIAL.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...AN UPPER LOW PRES SYSTEM SLOWLY TRACKS ACROSS
THE PAC NW AND ID BOTH THU AND FRI...KEEPING SW FLOW ALOFT ACROSS
THE 4 CORNERS REGION. HOWEVER...LONG RANGE MODELS ARE INDICATING A
SFC FRONT DROPPING DOWN INTO COLORADO SOMETIME ON THU. THIS WILL
HELP TO COOL MAX TEMPS ABOUT 10 DEGREES BOTH DAYS...AS WELL AS
REINTRODUCING CHANCES FOR CONVECTION THU NIGHT AND THROUGH FRI.

.AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AT ALL 3 TAF SITES...KALS...KPUB...KCOS.
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE IN THE VICINITY (TO THE NORTH) OF KCOS THIS
AFTERNOON. I CANNOT RULE OUT A STORM OVER THE AIRPORT...BUT IT LOOKS
MARGINAL ATTM...AND ONLY PLAN TO MENTION CB IN THE TAF.

GUSTY SW WINDS WILL OCCUR AT KALS THIS AFTERNOON. EXPECT WINDS OF 15
TO 25 KNTS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
A MARGINAL RED FLAG EVENT WILL OCCUR TODAY ACROSS THE SAN LUIS
VALLEY. WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH WILL OCCUR THIS AFTERNOON AND MIN RH
VALUES WILL GET DOWN TO ABOUT 10%. A SLIGHT REPRIEVE IS FORECAST
FOR SUNDAY...THEN MONDAY COULD BE THE START OF A PROLONGED PERIOD
OF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS. THERE WILL BE THE POTENTIAL
DRY LIGHTNING EVENT ON MONDAY...FOLLOWED BY AT LEAST TWO DAYS OF
HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS COMBINED WITH WIND.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
TEMPERATURES ONCE AGAIN WILL BE IN THE 50S AND 60S IN THE MTNS TODAY
AND TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN ABOVE FREEZING TONIGHT. RIVERS AND
STREAMS WILL CONTINUE TO RUN HIGH. PLEASE USE CAUTION THIS WEEKEND
IF YOU WILL BE NEAR WATERWAYS IN THE HIGH COUNTRY.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL...EAST
CENTRAL...SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST COLORADO.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE SAN LUIS
VALLEY THROUGH THIS EVENING. THESE STRONG WINDS...COMBINED WITH LOW
HUMIDITY VALUES AT OR BELOW 12 PERCENT AND EXISTING DRY
VEGETATION...WILL CREATE EXTREME FIRE BEHAVIOR. EXTREME CAUTION
SHOULD BE USED TO AVOID ANY FIRE STARTS TODAY.

A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO OCCUR OVER THE PLAINS
TODAY. THE PRIMARY THREAT FROM THESE STORMS WILL BE HAIL UP TO THE
SIZE OF GOLF BALLS...AND WIND GUSTS TO 70 MPH. THERE IS A VERY LOW
CHANCE OF A TORNADO...ESPECIALLY OVER FAR NORTHEASTERN EL PASO
COUNTY. ALL STORMS WHICH DEVELOP TODAY WILL BE CAPABLE OF DANGEROUS
CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY

ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE SUNDAY AND MONDAY...AND
AGAIN ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. THE PRIMARY THREAT FROM THESE
STORMS WILL BE CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING AND GUSTY WINDS.

CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER THE REGION
MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. ON MONDAY...THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR A
DRY LIGHTNING EVENT THAT COULD PRODUCE NUMEROUS NEW FIRE STARTS.
THEN ON TUESDAY AND INTO WEDNESDAY...STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL
COMBINE WITH LOW HUMIDITY VALUES AND HOT TEMPERATURES.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

WEATHER CONDITIONS THAT MEET REPORTING CRITERIA FOR SPOTTERS MAY BE
POSSIBLE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING.
