AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
1125 AM MDT FRI AUG 9 2013

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 557 AM MDT FRI AUG 9 2013

...GENERALLY LESS STORM COVERAGE AND INTENSITY TODAY...

THE GRADUALLY DECREASING TREND IN STORM COVERAGE AND INTENSITY IS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TODAY.  THE OLD UPPER LOW OF THE PAST 2 DAYS IS
FINALLY PUSHING INTO KANSAS THIS MORNING.  LEFT BEHIND OVER COLORADO
IS A WEAK BUT BUILDING UPPER LEVEL RIDGE.  PLENTY OF MOISTURE STILL
RESIDES BENEATH THE RIDGE OVER COLORADO...SO DAYTIME HEATING WILL
ONCE AGAIN TRIGGER SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...SCATTERED ACROSS THE
AREA.  HOWEVER...WITH THE LOSS OF THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH THAT WAS
OVER US YESTERDAY...THE ATMOSPHERE PROBABLY WON'T BE QUITE AS
PRODUCTIVE ON THE CONVECTIVE FRONT.  THE ATMOSPHERE WILL LIKELY BE A
BIT MORE STABLE AND SUBSIDENT...HELPING TO TAME SOME OF THE
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY.  ALTHOUGH STORM COVERAGE AND INTENSITY WILL
GENERALLY DECREASE FROM WHAT WAS SEEN YESTERDAY...THERE WILL STILL
BE A FEW STRONG STORMS...PRODUCING LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN...GUSTY WINDS
AND SMALL HAIL.  IF ONE THESE STORMS RAINS TOO HARD OR MOVES TOO
SLOWLY...IT COULD PRODUCE LOCAL FLASH FLOODING.  THIS IS ESPECIALLY
TRUE ON AREA BURN SCARS...SO A WATCHFUL EYE TO THE SKY WILL BE
NECESSARY ONCE AGAIN TODAY.

TEMPS WILL WARM A BIT ACROSS THE AREA TODAY BUT STILL REMAIN A
COMFORTABLE 5-10 DEGREES BELOW AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.
NORMAL HIGHS FOR COLORADO SPRINGS...PUEBLO AND ALAMOSA TODAY ARE
83...91 AND 81...RESPECTIVELY.  FORECAST HIGHS FOR THESE LOCATIONS
TODAY ARE 74...81 AND 76...RESPECTIVELY.  NICE. LW

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 557 AM MDT FRI AUG 9 2013

LONGER TERM METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS CONTINUE TO BE
TEMPERATURES AND POPS.

WARMER AND SOMEWHAT DRIER CONDITIONS ARE STILL EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
OVER THE FORECAST DISTRICT FROM THIS WEEKEND INTO MONDAY AS
FORECAST PRECIPITABLE WATERS OVER AREAS SUCH AS THE I-25 CORRIDOR
GENERALLY ARE PROJECTED TO REMAIN UNDER ONE INCH DURING THIS
TIME-FRAME.

ALTHOUGH A SOMEWHAT DRIER AIRMASS WILL BE LOCATED OVER SOUTHERN
COLORADO...STILL ANTICIPATE THAT ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS AS WELL AS WARMER TEMPERATURES WILL BE NOTED OVER
THE CWFA FROM THIS WEEKEND INTO MONDAY. SOME OF THE STRONGER
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL
AS WELL AS POTENTIAL BURN SCAR FLOODING ISSUES.

LATEST COMPUTER SIMULATIONS AND FORECAST MODEL SOUNDINGS STILL
SUGGEST THAT INCREASED POPS IN COMBINATION WITH NEAR SEASONAL
TEMPERATURES SHOULD THEN BE NOTED BEGINNING AS EARLY AS LATER
MONDAY AND CONTINUING INTO MID-WEEK AS INCREASINGLY MOIST
NORTHEASTERLY TO EASTERLY FLOW DEVELOPS OVER THE FORECAST
DISTRICT...WITH HIGHEST ACCUMULATING PRECIPITATION POTENTIAL ONCE
AGAIN FAVORING EASTERN PORTIONS. FORECAST PRECIPITABLE WATERS
EXCEEDING ONE INCH AT TIMES WILL ONCE AGAIN BE NOTED FROM LATER
MONDAY INTO AT LEAST WEDNESDAY.

AT THIS TIME...IT STILL APPEARS THAT THE HIGHEST POTENTIAL FOR
LOCALIZED HEAVY RAIN NEXT WEEK SHOULD BE NOTED ON TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY AND POSSIBLY CONTINUE INTO THURSDAY. ALSO...GENERALLY
LIGHT GRADIENT WINDS SHOULD BE NOTED OVER THE FORECAST DISTRICT
DURING THE LONGER TERM.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1117 AM MDT FRI AUG 9 2013

A SHORTWAVE IS MOVING INTO SOUTHWEST COLORADO AND WESTERN NEW
MEXICO WITH SOME LIGHTNING STRIKES OVER NORTHERN NEW MEXICO. THIS
DISTURBANCE WILL DEVELOP SOME THUNDERSTORMS AT THE TAF SITES FROM
ROUGHLY 20Z LASTING UNTIL AROUND 02Z. THERE WILL BE ENOUGH
MOISTURE FOR HEAVY DOWNPOURS WITH THE STORMS...RESULTING IN SOME
LOCAL IFR CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE DOWNPOURS. A SECOND
SHORTWAVE WILL PASS ACROSS SOUTHERN COLORADO BETWEEN 09Z AND 15Z
SATURDAY. CURRENTLY BELIEVE ATMOSPHERE WILL BE TOO STABLE TO
MENTION TS IN THE TAFS OVERNIGHT. WILL HAVE TO MONITOR FOR
POTENTIAL OF ANOTHER ROUND OF CONVECTION OVERNIGHT AT THE TAF
SITES.
