AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
1118 AM MDT WED JUN 26 2013

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 347 AM MDT WED JUN 26 2013

...MAINLY HOT AND DRY TODAY WITH LIGHT WINDS...

UPPER RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE AREA THROUGH TONIGHT.  THIS WILL HELP
KEEP WINDS LIGHTER THAN THE PAST FEW DAYS.  DEW POINTS DID INCREASE
SOME FOR YESTERDAY...AND EXPECT SIMILAR TO SLIGHTLY HIGHER DEW
POINTS FOR MOST AREAS TODAY.  HIGHER ELEVATIONS WILL SEE AFTERNOON
HUMIDITIES FALL TO BETWEEN 15-25%...WHILE THE VALLEYS AND SOUTHEAST
PLAINS SEE RHS FALL INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS TO LOWER TEENS.  WITH H7
TEMPS RUNNING FROM +17 TO +20C ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON...THIS
SHOULD NET HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER 100S FOR THE SE
PLAINS...WITH A MIX OF 70S/80S AND LOWER 90S FOR THE MTS/VALLEYS.
ALL IN ALL...IT WILL BE A HOT DAY.  HOWEVER WINDS LOOK LIGHT...AND
NO FIRE WEATHER HIGHLIGHTS LOOK NECESSARY.

ONE CONCERN WITH THE SLIGHT INCREASE IN MOISTURE TODAY WILL BE THE
POTENTIAL FOR VERY ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST
MOUNTAINS AND SANGRES DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON.  SEVERAL OF THE
HIGH RESOLUTION SHORT RANGE MODELS ADVERTISE THIS (NAM12...4KM NSSL
WRF...AND RUC13).  MODEL SOUNDINGS LOOK VERY DRY...AND THINK ITS MORE
LIKELY TO BE SOME CUMULUS BUILD UPS BUT NO PRECIPITATION.  HOWEVER
WITH POTENTIAL THERE AND MORE THAN ONE HIGH RES MODEL SHOWING
THIS...WILL MAINTAIN THE INHERITED ISOLATED POPS FOR VERY SPOTTY
AREAS ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST MOUNTAINS. I DID CUT BACK THE AREAL
COVERAGE SOME. THINK IT WILL BE A VERY ISOLATED EVENT...WITH ERRATIC
GUSTY WINDS AND LIGHTNING THE PRIMARY THREATS.  WITH NOTHING TO
SUSTAIN CONVECTION...IF ANY ISOLATED -TS DEVELOPS OVER THE MTS IT
SHOULD DIMINISH QUICKLY AROUND SUNSET.  ANY SMOKE SHOULD REMAIN
CONFINED TO THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY AND POSSIBLY THE WESTERN SIDE OF
THE SAN LUIS VALLEY TODAY AS LIGHT WINDS ALOFT WILL HAVE LESS OF AN
ABILITY TO SHIFT THE PLUME EASTWARD.   -KT

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 347 AM MDT WED JUN 26 2013

THURSDAY-FRIDAY...GENERALLY WEAK NORTHERLY FLOW ALOFT PROGGED ACROSS
THE STATE AS CENTER OF HOT UPPER HIGH AROUND THE FOUR CORNERS REGION
SLOWLY DRIFTS WESTWARD THROUGH THE DAY FRIDAY. MODELS CONTINUE TO
INDICATE SHORTWAVE ENERGY DIVING DOWN THE BACKSIDE OF THE RIDGE
ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST...WHICH ALLOWS FOR LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TO
SLOWLY FILTER BACK INTO EASTERN COLORADO AS SFC HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
ACROSS THE HIGH PLAINS STATES. MODELS ALSO CONTINUE TO INDICATE MID
LEVEL MOISTURE SLOWLY INCREASING ACROSS THE AREA...ESPECIALLY ON
FRIDAY. THE INCREASING MOISTURE AND THE STRONG SUMMER SUN WILL
SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS MAINLY THE
HIGHER TERRAIN. CONVECTION ON THURSDAY LOOKS TO BE FAIRLY ISOLATED
AND HIGH BASED...WITH LIGHTNING AND GUSTY WINDS THE MAIN THREATS
FROM ANY STORMS WHICH DO DEVELOP. SLIGHTLY BETTER COVERAGE OF
STORMS LOOKS POSSIBLE ON FRIDAY...AS TEMPS ALOFT COOL SLIGHTLY
ALONG WITH INCREASED MID AND LOW LEVEL MOISTURE. HOWEVER...MODELS
SOUNDINGS STILL INDICATING MAINLY INVERTED V PROFILES SUPPORTING
LITTLE IN THE WAY OF WETTING RAINS. THURSDAY STILL LOOKS TO BE THE
WARMEST DAY OF THE WEEK WITH H7 TEMPS PROGGED BETWEEN 16C AND 20C
SUPPORTING HIGHS IN THE 90S TO LOWER 100S ACROSS THE PLAINS WITH
70S AND 80S ACROSS THE HIGH TERRAIN AND HIGH VALLEYS...WITH
SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPS FOR FRIDAY.

SATURDAY-TUESDAY...MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE SEVERAL EMBEDDED
SHORTWAVES TRANSLATING THROUGH THE NORTHERLY FLOW ALOFT THROUGH THE
PERIOD...WITH THE LATEST GFS INDICATING AN UNSEASONABLY STRONG
UPPER LOW DEVELOPING ACROSS THE NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS AROUND THE 4TH
OF JULY. THE COOLER AND MORE MOIST AIRMASS MOVING INTO THE AREA WILL
ALLOW FOR BETTER CHANCES OF WETTING RAINS AREA WIDE. HOWEVER...THIS
WILL ALSO INCREASE THE POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING ON RECENT AND
OLDER BURN SCARS...AND WILL NEED TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR THIS
POTENTIAL THROUGH THE PERIOD. AT OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE SEASONAL
TEMPERATURES EXPECTED EARLY IN THE PERIOD WITH TEMPERATURES FALLING
TO AT OR BELOW SEASONAL AVERAGES INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

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

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST
MOUNTAINS LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH THIS EVENING. THE MAIN
THREAT WITH THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE LOCALLY GUSTY WINDS UP TO 40 MPH
AND LIGHTNING...BUT LITTLE IF ANY RAINFALL.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY

UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE REGION INTO THE
EARLY WEEKEND BEFORE MOVING WEST INTO THE GREAT BASIN INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK. THIS WILL SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY...MAINLY OVER AND NEAR
THE HIGHER TERRAIN. STORMS WILL BE INITIALLY HIGH BASED...WITH THE
MAIN THREATS FROM ANY STORMS THAT DEVELOP BEING LIGHTNING AND GUSTY
AND ERRATIC WINDS.

BY THE LATE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...THUNDERSTORMS WILL
HAVE MORE AVAILABLE MOISTURE TO WORK WITH...LEADING TO THE POTENTIAL
FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND FLASH FLOODING ACROSS THE RECENT
AND OLDER WILDFIRE BURN SCARS ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST
COLORADO.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

WEATHER SPOTTERS WILL NOT BE NEEDED TODAY OR TONIGHT.
