AT 1246 AM MDT...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED  
HEAVY RAINFALL ACROSS THE WALDO CANYON BURN SCAR. LOCAL OBSERVATIONS 
ACROSS THE BURN SCAR HAVE INDICATED ONE HALF INCH OF RAINFALL OVER 
THE PAST 40 MINUTES...WITH THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL OCCURRING OVER 
UPPER WILLIAMS CANYON.  THIS TYPE OF RAINFALL CAN QUICKLY LEAD TO 
FLASH FLOODING AND DEBRIS FLOWS.

THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS LIFE THREATENING SITUATION. RUNOFF FROM THIS
EXCESSIVE RAINFALL WILL CAUSE FLASH FLOODING TO OCCUR. SOME LOCATIONS
THAT WILL EXPERIENCE FLOODING INCLUDE...COLORADO SPRINGS...AIR FORCE
ACADEMY...CASCADE...CHIPITA PARK...CRYSTOLA...GREEN MOUNTAIN FALLS 
AND MANITOU SPRINGS.

JUST A SMALL AMOUNT OF RAINFALL ON A BURN SCAR CAN LEAD TO FLASH 
FLOODING. WATER THAT IS NORMALLY ABSORBED BY THE SOILS AND 
VEGETATION...RUNS OFF ALMOST INSTANTLY. THIS CAUSES CREEKS AND 
DRAINAGE AREAS TO FLOOD AT A MUCH FASTER RATE THAN NORMAL. IN 
ADDITION...THE SOILS IN A BURN SCAR BECOME UNSTABLE WHEN IT 
RAINS...SOMETIMES RESULTING IN DEBRIS AND FALLING ROCK. ROADS CAN BE 
WASHED OUT BY THE FORCE OF THE RUSHING WATER AND DEBRIS.

QUICK UPDATE TO ALLOW THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THIS EVENING TO
EXPIRE. ALSO BROUGHT IN LATEST OBS DATA AS WELL AS SATELLITE AND
RADAR TRENDS. MOORE

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 352 PM MDT WED SEP 11 2013

.TONIGHT...NEXT BATCH OF CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED OVER SOUTHERN
PUEBLO COUNTY AND IS MOVING NORTHWARD.  LATEST HRRR SUGGESTS THIS
CONVECTION WILL WEAKEN DURING THE NEXT HOURLY...BUT HRRR PERFORMANCE
HAS NOT BEEN STELLAR TODAY. MODELS HAVE BEEN DOING A BETTER JOB WITH
THE CONVECTION ON THE EASTERN PLAINS...AND THERE IS A CONSENSUS OF
MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION MOVING TO THE NORTHEAST DURING THE
EVENING.  OVER THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE REGION....SOME STORMS HAVE
FINALLY DEVELOPED AS WATER VAPOR SHOWS A DISTURBANCE MOVING INTO
CENTRAL COLORADO.  DECIDED TO MAINTAIN MOSTLY HIGH SCATTERED POPS
DURING THE NIGHT.  SUSPECT THE DISTURBANCE OVER CENTRAL COLORADO
WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION THIS EVENING..WHICH WILL DEVELOP SOME
SHOWERS THIS EVENING.

.THURSDAY...THE THREAT FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN CONTINUES. DISTURBANCE
MOVING INTO THE MIDWEST WILL STRENGTHEN HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE
NORTHERN PLAINS.  THE STRENGTHENING ANTICYCLONE WILL PUSH A COLD
FRONT THROUGH THE PLAINS...INCREASING THE EASTERLY FLOW AND MOISTURE
FLUX INTO THE REGION.  THE PLUME OF MIDDLE AND UPPER MOISTURE WILL
ALSO CONTINUE OVER THE REGION EAST OF THE UPPER LOW OVER THE GREAT
BASIN.  MODELS CONTINUE TO GENERATE WIDESPREAD SIGNIFICANT
PRECIPITATION OVER THE REGION THURSDAY..ESPECIALLY OVER THE EASTERN
MOUNTAINS AND PLAINS.  SUSPECT A WEAK DISTURBANCE IS NORTHEASTWARD
INTO COLORADO.  ISSUED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THURSDAY FOR THE
WALDO CANYON AND BLACK FOREST BURN SCARS. THERE WAS SOME MINOR
FLOODING OVER WALDO CANYON BURN SCAR TODAY AND THE STORMS ON
THURSDAY COULD BE STRONGER. FURTHER WEST...ANTICIPATE MORE COVERAGE
OF STORMS THAN WEDNESDAY AS THE AMOUNT OF MIDDLE AND UPPER LEVEL
MOISTURE INCREASES. --PGW--

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 352 PM MDT WED SEP 11 2013

...HEAVY RAIN POSSIBLE THURSDAY NIGHT...

THURSDAY NIGHT-FRIDAY...MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE A VERY WET
PERIOD AS WEAKENING UPPER LOW ACROSS WESTERN UTAH IS SLOWLY KICKED
OUT INTO THE NORTHERN ROCKIES BY EASTERN PACIFIC ENERGY DROPPING OUT
OF WESTERN BC AND INTO THE NORTHERN TIER OF STATES. THIS ENHANCES
MOIST LOW LEVEL UPSLOPE FLOW ACROSS THE EASTERN MTS THURSDAY NIGHT
AND ALONG WITH INCREASED UVV FROM ASSOCIATED JET TRANSLATING ACROSS
THE ROCKIES AND THE ABUNDANT ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE STILL IN
PLACE...WILL SUPPORT THE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL ACROSS THE AREA
THURSDAY NIGHT. LATEST MODELS CONTINUE TO PEG EASTERN COLORADO AND
IN PARTICULAR THE PIKES PEAK REGION...WHERE LOW LEVEL UPSLOPE WILL
BE MAXIMIZED...FOR HEAVY RAIN THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY WITH HPC
DAY 2 QPF TOTAL INDICATING 1-2 INCHES ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN COLORADO
WITH A BULLSEYE OF 1.76 INCHES ACROSS THE PALMER DVD AND 1.96
INCHES OVER KIOWA COUNTY. WITH THAT SAID...HAVE KEPT HIGH POPS
INTACT ACROSS THE AREA THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY...WITH AN
INCREASED CONCERN FOR FLASH FLOODING THURSDAY NIGHT...ESPECIALLY
FOR THE WALDO CANYON AND BLACK FORECAST BURN SCARS.

FRIDAY NIGHT-SUNDAY NIGHT...FLOW ALOFT BECOMES WEAK WESTERLY WITH
MONSOONAL PLUME DECREASING THROUGH SUNDAY...AS THE NORTHERN TIER
SYSTEM CONTINUES TO DROP SOUTH AND EAST ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST.
STILL ENOUGH MOISTURE IN PLACE FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS
ACROSS THE AREA SATURDAY...WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL STILL A
THREAT DUE TO THE WEAK STEERING FLOW ALOFT. PASSING NORTHERN TIER
SYSTEM SENDS A WEAK BACKDOOR COLD FRONT ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS
SATURDAY NIGHT WITH MOIST EASTERLY UPSLOPE FLOW HELPING TO
INCREASE PRECIPITATION CHANCES ACROSS THE EASTERN MTS AND
IMMEDIATE ADJACENT PLAINS SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

MONDAY-WEDNESDAY...MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE A WARMING AND DRYING
TREND FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK AS A BROAD UPPER TROUGH SETS UP ACROSS THE
PAC NW COAST...KEEPING MODERATE WEST TO SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT ACROSS
THE REGION. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR TEMPERATURES TO WARM BACK TO
GENERALLY ABOVE SEASONAL AVERAGES. LATEST EC INDICATES ANOTHER
POSSIBLE BACKDOOR COLD FRONT MOVING ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS ON
WEDNESDAY WITH THE GFS BRINGING THE FRONT ACROSS THURSDAY.

KCOS AND KPUB...ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
EXPECTED ALONG THE I25 CORRIDOR TOMORROW AFTN AND EVE. CURRENT
CONVECTION IS TRACKING TO THE N-NW BUT IS STARTING TO DIMINISH IN
INTENSITY AND AREAL COVERAGE. MVFR CEILINGS EXPECTED
OVERNIGHT...WITH A CONTINUED THREAT OF HEAVY RAIN.

KALS...MVFR CEILINGS EXPECTED OVERNIGHT WITH ENHANCED LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE PERSISTING. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP BY

SCARS WILL BE PARTICULARLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO FLASH FLOODING IF HEAVIER
SHOWERS OR STORMS IMPACT THESE AREAS. IN ADDITION TO LIGHTNING...
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL ALSO BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING SOME SMALL
HAIL.

THE CHANCE FOR WIDESPREAD SHOWER ACTIVITY AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND. AFTER A BRIEF LULL IN THE
RAINFALL ON SATURDAY...A COLD FRONT WILL ARRIVE ON SUNDAY AND
BRING A RENEWED THREAT OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND POTENTIAL
FLOODING. BY MONDAY OR TUESDAY...OUR AREA SHOULD RETURN TO A DRIER
PATTERN AND STORMS WILL LIKELY BE LIMITED TO THE MOUNTAIN AREAS.

SOME ACCUMULATING SNOW IS EXPECTED FOR ELEVATIONS ABOVE 12000 FEET
