AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
342 AM MDT MON JUN 10 2013

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 301 AM MDT MON JUN 10 2013

HIGH TEMPS ARE THE MAIN CONCERN FOR TODAY.  AN UPR RIDGE WL BE OVER
THE AREA TODAY...AND WL GET PUSHED EASTWARD OVERNIGHT AS AN UPR LOW
MOVES INTO THE GREAT BASIN.  THIS MORNING THAT UPR LOW IS OVR THE CA
COAST AND IT WL BE MOVING EAST-NORTHEASTWARD TODAY.  AHEAD OF THAT
SYSTEM...MAINLY HIGH HIGH LEVEL MSTR WL MOVE OVR THE FORECAST AREA.
AS A RESULT OF THE INCREASE IN MSTR...THE NAM IS SHOWING AT LEAST
SOME ISOLD POPS OVR MUCH OF THE AREAS BY MIDAFTERNOON TO EARLY
EVENING. THE RAP13 AND GFS ALSO SUPPORT ISOLD POPS.  WITH DRY LOW
LEVELS THE MAIN THUNDERSTORM THREATS WL BE LIGHTNING AND STRONG WIND
GUSTS.  THE MAIN ISSUE TODAY IS THE HEAT.  USED A BLEND OF THE
NAM...GFS AND ECM GUIDANCE FOR HIGHS TODAY.  SHOULD SEE RECORD OR
NEAR RECORD TEMPS.  THE RECORDS FOR TODAY ARE...PUEBLO 101 IN
1953....COLO SPGS 92 IN 1953 AND PREVIOUS YEARS AND FOR ALAMOSA 89
SET IN 1981.  ALTHOUGH RH VALUES WL BE VERY LOW TODAY...WINDS IN THE
AREAS WHERE THE FUELS ARE CONSIDERED CRITICAL...ARE NOT EXPECTED TO
MEET THE RED FLAG CRITERIA...THEREFORE NO FIRE WX HIGHLIGHTS WL BE
ISSUED.  ANY PCPN THAT DEVELOPS SHOULD END BY MIDNIGHT. OVERNIGHT
LOWS WL ALSO BE ABOVE AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 301 AM MDT MON JUN 10 2013

TUESDAY...MODELS HAVE SHOWN EXCELLENT RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY FOR THE
EXPECTED HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS ON TUE. AN UPPER DISTURBANCE IS
FORECAST TO CROSS THE GREAT BASIN TUE MORNING...TIGHTENING THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT AND PRODUCING STRONG AND GUSTY SW FLOW ACROSS THE
STATE. THIS WILL TRANSLATE TO STRENGTHENING SFC WINDS ACROSS THE
REGION ON TUE...AND ADDING STRONG WINDS TON A HOT AND DRY SITUATION
WILL CREATE CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS. IN COORDINATION WITH
THE LAND MANAGEMENT AGENCIES...A FIRE WEATHER WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR
PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA...AND THIS WATCH WILL MOST LIKELY BE
UPGRADED TO A WARNING LATER TODAY. LOOK FOR MAX TEMPS 100 TO 108 F
FOR THE E PLAINS...AND THE MID 80S TO NEARING 90 FOR THE HIGH
VALLEYS. AS THE UPPER DISTURBANCE CONTINUES TO THE EAST THROUGH THE
NIGHT...IT WILL PUSH A POOL OF COOLER AIR DOWN INTO EASTERN COLORADO.

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...THE DRY COLD FRONT TUE NIGHT IS EXPECTED TO
KNOCK A FEW DEGREES OFF THE MAX TEMPS FOR WED AND THU...BUT READINGS
WILL STILL BE IN THE UPPER 90S TO LOWER 100S FOR THE PLAINS...AND
MID 80S FOR THE HIGH VALLEYS. MODELS STILL INDICATE LITTLE CHANCE
FOR ANY PCPN ON WED...BUT BY THU EVE THERE IS A HINT OF A
MONSOON-LIKE TAP OF MOISTURE OPENING FOR THE AREA SO KEPT SOME
ISOLATED POPS FOR THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS IN THE AFTN AND EVE.

FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRES EDGES TO THE EAST BY
FRI...OPENING A BIGGER WINDOW FOR THE MOISTURE TO BE DRAWN UP INTO
COLORADO. GFS AND ECMWF MODELS PAINT A BETTER SHOT AT SOME
CONVECTION FOR THE FORECAST AREA BOTH DAYS WITH SLIGHTLY BETTER
COVERAGE. FORECAST MAX TEMPS COOL SLIGHTLY AS WELL WITH READINGS IN
THE 90S FOR THE PLAINS OVER THE WEEKEND. AS FOR SUNDAY...THE UPPER
RIDGE TRIES TO BUILD BACK INTO THE REGION SO MODELS ARE NOW CUTTING
BACK ON PCPN CHANCES. KEPT ISOLATED DIURNAL POPS FOR THE HIGHER
TERRAIN...WITH TEMPS CONTINUING TO BE A BIT COOLER AND CLOSER TO
SEASONAL NORMS. MOORE
