AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
1129 AM MDT WED MAY 29 2013

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 644 AM MDT WED MAY 29 2013

UPDATED GRIDS/ZONES TO REFLECT SLIGHTLY HIGHER POPS OVER THE N
CENTRAL MTS AND PIKES PEAK REGION THIS MORNING. CONTINUE TO SEE
SCT SHOWERS AND A FEW TS MOVE THROUGH THE SRN FRONT RANGE IN
ASSOCIATION WITH THE LEADING EDGE OF THE UPSTREAM TROUGH AND COLD
FRONT. ROSE

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 349 AM MDT WED MAY 29 2013

...COOLER TODAY...

COOLER AIR ALOFT IS NOW MOVING INTO OUR AREA AS THE UPPER TROUGH TO
THE WEST BEGINS TO MOVE INTO WRN CO. MAIN CONCERNS TODAY WILL BE
FIRE WX FOR THE ERN MTS AND SE PLAINS...AND A LOW CHANCE OF SVR FOR
THE FAR ERN PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON.

TEMPS ALOFT FALL TO AROUND 8 DEG C AT H7 THIS AFTERNOON...SO DESPITE
GOOD MIXING THE HIGHS TODAY FOR THE PLAINS SHOULD ONLY BE IN THE 80S.
THE MORE PRONOUNCED COLD FRONT WILL ARRIVE LATE THIS AFTERNOON OR
EARLY THIS EVE...WHICH WILL BRING IN SOME COOLER AIR FOR WED NIGHT
INTO THU. WILL ALSO SEE SOME SCT SHOWERS AND A FEW TS ARRIVE THIS
AFTERNOON OVR MUCH OF THE AREA. BEST CHANCE FOR PRECIP WILL REMAIN
OVER THE MTS...ALTHOUGH THE LATEST HIGH RES MODELS INDICATE MAYBE A
BIT MORE PRECIP FOR THE PIKES PEAK REGION...SO HAVE BUMPED UP POPS
FOR EL PASO THIS AFTERNOON. SRN I-25 CORRIDOR MAY REMAIN DRY.

SVR THREAT TODAY WILL HINGE ON THE DRYLINE. THERE IS PRETTY GOOD
CONSENSUS THAT THE DRY LINE WILL MIX WELL E OF OUR CWA...A GOOD 50
MILES OR SO E OF THE BORDER...SO SVR THREAT LOOKS RATHER LIMITED.
SPC HAS OUR ERN PLAINS OUTLOOKED IN A SLIGHT RISK...BUT ONCE AGAIN
THAT WILL DEPEND ON HOW MUCH MOISTURE CAN REMAIN OVER THE ERN PLAINS.
IF THE DRYLINE PUSHES A BIT TO THE W LATE THIS AFTERNOON OR EARLY
EVE...COULD SEE A BRIEF THREAT OF A SVR STORM OR TWO...WITH THREAT
OF LARGE HAIL AND STRONG WINDS. ANY STORMS THAT DEVELOP WILL MOVE
RATHER QUICKLY INTO KS...SO THE OVERALL THREAT APPEARS MINIMAL...BUT
NOT NONEXISTENT.

DESPITE THE COOLER AIR ALOFT...VERY DRY AIR WILL REMAIN OVER MOST OF
SE CO AS THE TROUGH MOVES IN...AND ALONG WITH SOME GUSTY W
WINDS...FIRE DANGER WILL REMAIN HIGH FOR THE RED FLAG WARNED AREA
TODAY. BACA COUNTY MAY BE MARGINAL DEPENDING ON HOW QUICKLY THE
MOISTURE MIXES EWD...BUT THE RED FLAG LOOKS ON TARGET FOR NOW SO
HAVE LEFT THE FIRE WX HEADLINES UNCHANGED.

WITH DRY AIR IN PLACE AND COOLER AIR MOVING IN TONIGHT...EXPECT A
COOL NIGHT TONIGHT WITH TEMPS DROPPING INTO THE 40S FOR SOME OF THE
PLAINS...AN POSSIBLY HITTING FREEZING FOR THE SAN LUIS VALLEY.
SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE FOR THE CONTDVD...AND COULD SEE SOME MORE
SPOTTY LIGHT SNOW ACCUMS ABOVE 10K FEET BY THU MORNING. ROSE

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 349 AM MDT WED MAY 29 2013

...MORE DRY AND WINDY DAYS AHEAD...

FORECAST CONTINUES TO LOOK GENERALLY DRY AND WINDY AT TIMES THROUGH
NEXT TUESDAY.  FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...DRY WESTERLY FLOW WILL COVER
THE REGION...PUSHING NEARLY ALL MOISTURE EAST OF THE AREA.  COULD
BE A FEW HIGH ELEVATION RAIN OR SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS THE CENTRAL
MOUNTAINS.  MOST...IF NOT ALL...DRYLINE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY SHOULD
PUSH EAST INTO KANSAS. SO...DRY AND WINDY WILL BE THE WEATHER
WORDS...WITH TEMPERATURES NEAR OR ABOVE AVERAGE AND CONTINUED HIGH
FIRE DANGER IN AREAS OF RECEPTIVE FUELS.  A FIRE WEATHER WATCH HAS
BEEN HOISTED FOR THURSDAY OVER PARTS OF THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS AND
PLAINS.  IF THE PATTERN CONTINUES AS EXPECTED...ANOTHER WATCH MAY
EVENTUALLY BE NEEDED FOR FRIDAY.

FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL DROP SOUTHEAST
ACROSS THE AREA.  THIS WILL ALLOW A COOL FRONT TO MOVE SOUTH THROUGH
THE PLAINS...COOLING TEMPERATURES...RAISING HUMIDITIES AND
DECREASING WINDS A BIT FOR SATURDAY...AND TO SOME EXTENT FOR SUNDAY
AS WELL.  SO...THIS MAY LOWER THE FIRE DANGER ENOUGH TO LIMIT THE
NEED FOR FIRE WEATHER HIGHLIGHTS THESE DAYS.  IT WILL GENERALLY BE
DRY ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF SUNDAY...WITH TEMPS A
LITTLE BELOW AVERAGE OVER THE AREA ON SATURDAY...AND THEN A LITTLE
ABOVE AVERAGE ON SUNDAY.

FROM LATER SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...UPPER HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO
BUILD BACK NORTH OVER THE REGION.  THIS WILL HAVE THE EFFECT OF
HEATING UP THE ATMOSPHERE AGAIN AS WELL AS ALLOWING A LITTLE BIT OF
MOISTURE TO MIGRATE NORTHWARD INTO THE REGION.  THE PRIMARY TARGETS
FOR THE MOISTURE AT THIS TIME LOOK LIKE THE SOUTHERN MOUNTAINS AS
WELL AS THE FAR EASTERN PLAINS ALONG THE DRYLINE...BUT OTHER AREAS
MAY EVENTUALLY SEE SOME ACTIVITY TOO.  WINDS MAY PICK UP ENOUGH
AGAIN BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON TO RAISE THE NEED FOR MORE FIRE WEATHER
HIGHLIGHTS. LW

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1122 AM MDT WED MAY 29 2013

GUSTY WEST WINDS WILL AFFECT THE KPUB AND KALS TAF SITES THROUGH
THIS AFTERNOON WITH GUSTS UP TO 25-30 KTS EXPECTED. ISOLATED -TSRA
WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD OFF THE MOUNTAINS THROUGH EARLY
AFTERNOON...BUT COVERAGE IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN FAIRLY ISOLATED AND
WILL MAINTAIN A VCTS FOR KPUB THROUGH 21Z. ERRATIC GUSTY WINDS WILL
BE THE MAIN THREAT WITH THUNDERSTORMS WITH POTENTIAL FOR OUTFLOWS
TO GOOSE UP WIND SPEEDS TO AROUND 40 KTS.

WIND DIRECTION FORECAST AT KCOS WILL BE EXCEPTIONALLY CHALLENGING
TODAY WITH COLD FRONT LIKELY TO KEEP NORTH WINDS AT KCOS THROUGH
THE DAY. HOWEVER THE AXIS OF WEST TO SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL LIE JUST
TO THE SOUTH OF KCOS AND COULD EDGE NORTHWARD INTO THE KCOS
TERMINAL EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. WILL MAINTAIN VCTS FOR KCOS
THROUGH 22Z. DEEPER PUSH OF THE COLD FRONT COMBINED WITH GUSTY
OUTFLOWS FROM THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD HIT KCOS AROUND 22Z KEEPING
WINDS NORTHERLY THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT.

ON WEDNESDAY...BREEZY WEST WINDS WILL SPREAD INTO ALL 3 TERMINALS
BY 17Z.
