.SHORT TERM...

TONIGHT AND TOMORROW...

...RED FLAG CONDITIONS ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA AGAIN TOMORROW...

...FLASH FLOOD WATCH ISSUED FOR WALDO BURN SCAR...

...FRONTAL PASSAGE LATE TOMORROW AFTERNOON...

CURRENTLY...

100+ DEGREE READINGS ARE NOTED ACROSS NEARLY AT ALL LOWER
ELEVATIONS. KLAA AND KLHX WERE AT 108F....PUEBLO 105 AND KCOS IS
98F. WINDS WERE GUSTING TO 30 TO 35 MPH NEAR THE WALDO FIRE AS KCOS
WAS GUSTING TO 29 KNTS AND KAFF (USAFA) WAS GUSTING TO 31 KNTS.

UNFORTUNATELY...LOTS OF CG ACTIVITY HAS BEEN NOTED ALONG THE
CONTDVD. DURING THE LAST HOUR OVER 100+ CG STRIKES HAVE OCCURRED.

THROUGH TONIGHT...

SHORT RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOWS WINDS SHIFTING TO THE WEST
ACROSS THE WALDO BURN AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING.
LINE OF STORMS ACROSS THE CONTDVD WILL SLOWLY MOVE EAST TOWARDS THE
WALDO FIRE REGION. OUTFLOW ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LINE WILL LIKELY
INITIATE NEW STORMS IN ADVANCE OF THE BOUNDARY...AND SHORT TERM
GUIDANCE INDICATES THE POTENTIAL FOR HIGH BASED STORMS IN AND NEAR
THE WALDO FIRE SITE.

IF THESE WESTERLY WINDS TO MATERIALIZE...SMOKE FROM THE FIRE WOULD
ONCE AGAIN MOVE INTO THE CITY OF COLORADO SPRINGS.

ALTHOUGH STRONG WINDS WOULD NOT BE FAVORABLE FOR THE FIRE...IT WOULD
INCREASE THE RH VALUES ACROSS THE GREATER TELLER COUNTY REGION
TONIGHT...MAKING FOR SOMEWHAT FAVORABLE RH RECOVERY OVER THE BURN
SITE.

TEMPERATURES TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY OVER THE PLAINS...WILL NOT RECOVER
AND EXPECT LOWS IN THE 60S AND 70S TONIGHT AT MANY LOCATIONS. THE
KCOS REGION AND KPUB MAY SEE A BIT OF A RELIEF FROM THE OUTFLOW THAT
IS EXPECTED TO OCCUR THIS EVENING.

TOMORROW...

ANOTHER HOT DAY IS EXPECTED OVER THE PLAINS. HOWEVER...THERE IS HOPE
FOR GOOD PARTS OF THE REGION TOMORROW. FIRST MORE STORMS WILL FORM
OVER THE MTNS. LLVL RH VALUES WILL BE RATHER HIGH AND EXPECT MOST IF
NOT ALL OF THE STORMS ALONG THE CONTDVD TOMORROW WILL BE WET. FOR
THIS REASON WE WILL NOT BE ISSUING A RED FLAG FOR THE CONTDVD
REGION. IT WILL ALSO BE COOLER TOMORROW ACROSS THE MTNS DUE TODAYS
STORMS AND ADDITIONAL CLOUDS.

FOR THE REST OF THE AREA...A RED FLAG WARNING WILL ONCE AGAIN BE
ISSUED WHERE FUELS ARE DRY. THIS INCLUDES ALL OF THE MTNS/VALLEYS
EXCLUDING THE CONTDVD AND ALL OF THE PLAINS EXCEPT FAR E PLAINS.
WINDS WILL BE GUSTY TO 30 MPH AND RH VALUES WILL BE IN THE SINGLE
DIGITS OVER THE PLAINS...LOWER TEENS MTNS.

A COOL FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION LATE IN THE AFTERNOON. THE
BOUNDARY WILL CROSS THE PIKES PEAK REGION AOA 22Z 94 PM LOCAL).
DEWPT WILL INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY BEHIND THE FRONT AND CAPE VALUES
OF OVER 2000 J/KG WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA. SIMULATIONS SHOW
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING OVER THE BURN SITE TOMORROW...AND WITH ALL
OF THE CAPE THE STORMS COULD BE ON TH WET SIDE. ALTHOUGH NOT MUCH
PRECIP IS EXPECTED...ANY LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN WHICH FALLS ON THE BURN
AREA COULD CAUSE FLASH FLOODING. FOR THIS REASON WE WILL ISSUE A
FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE BURN SCAR AND AREAS IMMEDIATE DOWNSTREAM.
IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE BURN SCAR IS COMPLETELY IN ZONE 81...BUT
ANY FLOOD WAVE WILL FLOW INTO ZONE 85 (MANITOU SPRINGS AND OLD
COLORADO CITY).

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT IF HEAVY RAIN FALLS OVER THE FIRE
AND A SIGNIFICANT FLOOD WAVE DEVELOPS...THEN THERE WILL NOT BE MUCH
TIME FOR RESIDENTS OF MANITOU SPRINGS AND OLD COLORADO CITY TO
EVACUATE TO HIGHER GROUND.

ANY STORMS TOMORROW NEAR THE FIRE WILL CAUSE ADDITIONAL EXTREME FIRE
BEHAVIOR.

IN ADDITION...SOME OF THE STORMS COULD BE ON THE MARGINALLY SEVERE
SIDE TOMORROW IN THE GREATER PIKES PEAK REGION. \/HODANISH

.LONG TERM...

(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)

...HOT CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE...

MODELS REMAIN FAIRLY CONSISTENT RUN TO RUN WITH REGARDS TO THE LONG
TERM WEATHER PATTERN OVER THE FORECAST AREA. THE GFS/EC/NAM12
CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE A BOUNDARY PUSHING SOUTH THROUGH EASTERN
COLORADO AROUND 00Z THURSDAY. THE NAM12...GFS...AND THE LOCAL WRF
SHOW INCREASES IN MID AND LOW LEVEL MOISTURE BEHIND THE FRONT. THE
MODELS INCREASE DEWPOINTS TO THE MID 40'S OVER TELLER AND EL PASO
COUNTIES TO NEAR 50 OVER THE EASTERN PLAINS. THIS EXTRA MOISTURE
SHOULD HELP ENHANCE MOUNTAIN THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WET AND DRY THUNDERSTORMS IN THE MOUNTAINS
ARE LIKELY WITH POTENTIAL FOR NUMEROUS LIGHTNING STRIKES.

MODELS SHOW ANOTHER WEAK BOUNDARY WILL SLOWLY MOVE THROUGH EASTERN
COLORADO THURSDAY NIGHT AGAIN INCREASING MOISTURE IN THE UPPER
LEVELS AND SURFACE. THIS SHOULD PROMOTE ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS
ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS AND I-25 CORRIDOR AROUND 00Z FRIDAY. THE NAM SEEMS A
BIT OVERDONE WITH PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS GIVEN THE
DRY AIR AT LOWER LEVELS...BUT WILL BE WORTH WATCHING IN LATER MODEL
RUNS.

THE GFS AND EC REAMPLIFY THE RIDGE OVER THE REGION FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY AND FLATTEN IT OUT SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY WITH BOTH
MODELS SHOWING A CHANCE OF MOUNTAIN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH
AFTERNOON. DURING THIS TIME PERIOD THE CHANCES FOR ANY WETTING RAINS
WILL REMAIN LOW AND HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO BE 10 TO 15
DEGREES ABOVE AVERAGE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA.

&&

.AVIATION...

VFR CONDITIONS WILL OCCUR AT KALS AND KPUB NEXT 24H.

AT KCOS...OUTFLOW IS EXPECTED LATE THIS AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING
ACROSS THE KCOS AREA. THESE STRONGER WEST WINDS COULD PUSH SMOKE
INTO THE AIRPORT SITE REDUCING THE VISIBILITY AND POSSIBLY PRODUCE
LOWER CIGS.

A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE KCOS REGION AOA 22 UTC
TOMORROW...SHIFTING THE WINDS TO THE NORTH. TSRA WILL LIKELY DEVELOP
IN THE REGION LATE IN THE AFTERNOON.

&&

.PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
RED FLAG WARNING UNTIL 9 PM MDT THIS EVENING FOR COZ220>223-

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

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

THE POTENTIAL FOR DRY THUNDERSTORMS...ALONG WITH THE DRY
VEGETATION...WILL RESULT IN EXTREME FIRE DANGER FOR LAKE...CHAFFEE
AND FREMONT COUNTIES...AND FOR THE EASTERN SAN JUAN AND LA GARITA
MOUNTAINS.   LOW HUMIDITY...GUSTY WINDS AND DRY VEGETATION...WILL
LEAD TO EXTREME FIRE DANGER FOR TELLER...EL PASO...PUEBLO...
CROWLEY...OTERO...HUERFANO AND LAS ANIMAS COUNTIES.  RAPID RATES OF
FIRE GROWTH AND SPREAD WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH ANY FIRES.

ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING

MPH.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY

WEDNESDAY...A COOL FRONT WITH NOTICEABLY HIGHER HUMIDITY VALUES
WILL MOVE INTO THE PIKES PEAK REGION DURING THE MID AFTERNOON.

THE PIKES PEAK REGION LATE IN THE DAY. SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD
BE ON THE STRONG SIDE...PRODUCING LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN...WIND GUSTS
TO 50 MPH AND HAIL UP TO 1/2 INCH IN DIAMETER.

THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE FLASH FLOODING MAY OCCUR IN THE WALDO
CANYON BURN SCAR LATE TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING IF ANY
STRONG STORM DEVELOPS OVER THE BURN SITE REGION. RESIDENTS OF
MANITOU SPRINGS...AND OLD COLORADO CITY SHOULD BE ON ALERT FOR
THIS POSSIBILITY.

THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED
EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND HIGH
VALLEYS...WITH ONE OR TWO STORMS MOVING ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS
THURSDAY. THE MAIN THREATS FROM THESE STORMS WILL BE LIGHTNING
AND GUSTY WINDS...WITH MOST STORMS PRODUCING LITTLE RAINFALL.
