AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
1105 AM MDT SAT MAY 4 2013

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 854 AM MDT SAT MAY 4 2013

UPDATED FORECAST TO ALLOW FREEZE WARNING FOR THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS
TO EXPIRE.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 308 AM MDT SAT MAY 4 2013

CURRENTLY...THE STATE WAS SITUATED BETWEEN TWO UPPER LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEMS EARLY SAT MORNING...ONE OVER ARKANSAS THAT WAS EXITING THE
SCENE...AND THE OTHER STARTING TO GATHER STRENGTH OVER IDAHO. THIS
LEFT COLORADO IN RELATIVELY WEAK RIDGING ALOFT...WITH MOSTLY CLEAR
SKIES AND DROPPING TEMPS. TEMPS HAD DROPPED INTO THE 30S AT MOST
LOCATIONS AS OF 3 AM...THOUGH KPUB CONTINUED TO HANG ONTO 40 F. LOW
DEWPOINT TEMPS INDICATE THAT THE FREEZE WARNING WILL MOST LIKELY
VERIFY WELL FOR MOST IF NOT ALL LOCATIONS BY SUNRISE.

TODAY AND TONIGHT...MODELS AGREE ON SLIDING THE WESTERN UPPER LOW
SYSTEM TO THE SW...FROM IDAHO TO N CA...THROUGH THE DAY
TODAY...AMPLIFYING THE RIDGE OVER COLORADO WHILE STILL KEEPING THE
FLOW LIGHTER. NAM...GFS AND EC MODELS ALL AGREE THAT ISOLATED TO LOW
END SCATTERED CONVECTION SHOULD FIRE OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN BY 18Z
AND LAST INTO THE EVE. STORMS WILL BE MOST PROBABLE OVER THE CENTRAL
MTS...AND DUE TO THE LIGHT FLOW ALOFT DO NOT FEEL THE STORMS WILL
MOVE OFF THE MTS. MODELS ALSO INDICATE...AS EVIDENCED BY H7 RH
CHARTS...THAT THERE SHOULD BE A FAIR AMOUNT OF MID AND HIGH LEVEL
CLOUDINESS OVER THE MTS AND ADJACENT PLAINS THROUGH THE AFTN AND
EVE. ANY LAST LINGERING STORMS/SHOWERS SHOULD DISSIPATE SOON AFTER
MIDNIGHT...WITH CLEARING SKIES OVERNIGHT FORECAST. AS FOR
TEMPS...LOOK FOR ANOTHER MILD DAY WITH MAX TEMPS IN THE 60S FOR MOST
LOCATIONS...AND 50S IN THE MTS. MIN TEMPS LATER TONIGHT WILL FLIRT
WITH FREEZING...BUT WILL LET THE DAY CREW TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT THE
NEED FOR ANOTHER HIGHLIGHT. MOORE

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 308 AM MDT SAT MAY 4 2013

...COOL AND UNSETTLED PATTERN EXPECTED THIS FCST PERIOD...

SIMULATIONS CONTINUE TO SHOW A COOL AND UNSETTLED PATTERN THROUGH
THIS FCST PERIOD. HIGH TEMPS ON NEARLY EACH DAY ARE EXPECTED TO BE
BELOW CLIMATOLOGICAL VALUES.

MODELS THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THIS FCST PERIOD (SAT - WED) ARE IN
RATHER GOOD AGREEMENT. AN UPPER LOW IS FCST TO GET ORGANIZED OVER
N CALIF OVER THE WEEKEND...AND IT WILL EVENTUALLY MOVE EAST AND
ACROSS THE AREA BY MIDWEEK. A LEAD SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA
MONDAY.

SUNDAY...

MIDLVL SHORT WAVE RIDGE WILL BE OVER THE REGION. ONLY SHOWERS
THIS DAY WILL BE OVER THE HIGHER TRRN...ESPECIALLY THE CONTDVD
REGION DURING THE AFTERNOON. PLAINS SHOULD BE DRY...WITH MAX TEMPS
IN THE 60-65F RANGE PLAINS AND VALLEYS.

MONDAY...

LEAD SHORT WAVE WILL MOVE OVER THE AREA DURING THE DAY MONDAY.
SIMULATIONS ARE UNANIMOUS ON HIGH POPS OVER THE HIGHER TRRN DURING
THIS DAY AND GIVEN THE FORCING AND MOISTURE EXPECTED I CANNOT
DISAGREE WITH THE OUTPUT. MOST OF THE HIGHER TRRN HAS LIKELY POPS
WITH SCATTERED POPS IN THE VALLEYS. FOR THE PLAINS I WAS A LITTLE
RELUCTANT WITH THE MODEL POP VALUES AND I ONLY PLACED A SLIGHT
CHANCE OF POPS DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING TIME PERIODS.

MTN TOPS WILL LIKELY SEE SOME ACCUM SNOWS THIS DAY...BUT ACCUMS WILL
LIKELY BE AT OR ABOVE TREELINE.

TUESDAY...

MAIN CALIF LOW BEGINS TO TREK EASTWARD. THIS WILL PUT THE REGION IN
SW FLOW AT MIDLVLS AND THIS WILL LIKELY BE OUR DRIEST AND WARMEST
DAY. TEMPS THIS DAY SHOULD BE WELL INTO THE 70S MOST OF THE PLAINS
AND ANY PRECIP DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS WILL GENERALLY BE WEST OF A
LINE FROM WOLF CREEK TO SALIDA.

WEDNESDAY...

BETTER INSTABILITY WILL BE OVER THE REGION THIS DAY. HOWEVER MODELS
ARE A TAD BIT FARTHER NORTH WITH THE LOW TRACK. THIS WILL KEEP BEST
POPS GENERALLY NORTH OF US 50...ALTHOUGH ALL AREAS SHOULD SEE A
CHANCE OF STORMS THIS DAY GIVEN THE POTENTIAL INSTABILITY OVER THE
AREA (~1000 CAPE). THE BEST CHANCE OF POPS ON THE PLAINS THIS DAY
MAY ACTUALLY OCCUR DURING THE EVENING WHEN A SURGE OF COOLER...
MOISTER AIR COMES DOWN THE PLAINS. THE OVERALL AMOUNT OF PRECIP FOR
THE REGION WILL BE DEPENDENT ON THE ACTUAL TRACK THE UPPER LOW
EVENTUALLY TAKES. A FARTHER S TRACK WILL MEAN MORE PRECIP...A MORE
NORTHERLY TRACK WILL MEAN LESS. IF THINGS WORK OUT (A MORE S
TRACK)...THEN WE COULD SEE A CHANCE OF SOME STRONGER CONVECTION
LATER IN THE DAY OVER THE PLAINS.

THURSDAY...

THE MODELS BEGIN TO DISAGREE ON THIS DATE. THE GFS WANT TO KEEP A
BROAD WEAK CLOSED MIDLVL LOW OVER THE 4 CORNERS REGION WHILE THE EC
MODEL HAS THE LOW OVER S KS. THE GFS WILL BE MUCH MORE FAVORABLE FOR
US TO CONTINUE TO BE COOL AND MOIST WHILE THE EC SOLUTION WOULD
BRING A DRIER AND SLIGHTLY WARMER PATTERN. REGIONAL WFO CONSENSUS
WAS TO KEEP SCTD POPS OVER THE HIGHER TRRN WITH ISOLD POPS OVER
THE PLAINS.

FRIDAY...

EXPECT THIS DAY TO BE A BIT DRIER REGION WIDE AS BOTH MODEL SOLUTIONS
HAVE BEST FORCING MOVING AWAY FROM THE REGION...ALTHOUGH I KEPT LOW
POPS OVER THE PLAINS WITH VERY LOW END SCTD VALUES OVER THE HIGHER
MTNS...ESPECIALLY S MTNS. OVERALL ON THIS DAY I EXPECT A WEAK MIDLVL
NW FLOW OVER THE FCST AREA.

SATURDAY...

MAIN ISSUE THIS DAY IS THAT BOTH MODELS HAVE ANOTHER COLD SURGE
COMING DOWN INTO THE MIDWEST CONUS. EC IS MUCH MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH
THE COLD AIR BUT THE GFS ALSO HAS THE CANADIAN HIGH INTO THE REGION
BY EARLY IN THE DAY. IT WILL LIKELY BE COOL ON THIS DAY AND WE MAY
SEE QUITE A BIT OF CLOUDS IN THE MORNING. PRECIP CHANCES LOOK LOW
ATTM GIVEN THE STABILITY OF THE AIRMASS...BUT IT WILL LIKELY BE A
BIT MORE FAVORABLE FOR CONVECTION OVER THE HIGHER TRRN.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1100 AM MDT SAT MAY 4 2013

VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS AT THE KCOS...KPUB
AND KALS TAF SITES. WINDS WILL INCREASE FROM THE EAST TO SOUTHEAST
DURING THE AFTERNOON WITH SPEEDS GENERALLY IN THE 10-15 KT RANGE BEFORE
BECOMING LIGHT AND VARIABLE LATE THIS EVENING. SCATTERED SHOWERS
AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS
THIS AFTERNOON. ALTHOUGH -SHRA/-TSRA SHOULD NOT AFFECT THE TAF
SITES THEY MAY PRODUCE SOME HIGH OVERCAST CIRRUS AT TIMES DURING
THE EVENING. ERRATIC GUSTY WINDS TO AROUND 30 KTS WILL BE
POSSIBLE NEAR THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE MTS DURING THE AFTERNOON. -KT
