AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
314 PM MDT THU SEP 12 2013

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 313 PM MDT THU SEP 12 2013

TONIGHT...ANOTHER ROUND OF CONVECTION IS STARTING AFTER A BRIEF
LULL. SHORTWAVE MOVING OUT OF NEW MEXICO IS HELPING TO DEVELOP
THIS CONVECTION. WITH SOUTH TO NORTH MOTION...EL PASO COUNTY IS
THE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE REGION FOR HEAVY RAIN...BUT HEAVY RAIN IS
POSSIBLE ANYWHERE FROM THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS AND EASTWARD.
ANTICIPATE HIGH PRECIPITATION EFFICIENCIES WITH DEEP MOISTURE AND
LOW LCL/S. CELLS WITH MODEST REFLECTIVITIES WILL BE CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING HEAVY RAINFALL. AFTER THE FIRST SHORTWAVE PASSES THIS
EVENING...ANOTHER WEAK DISTURBANCE WILL APPROACH THE REGION AROUND
MIDNIGHT WITH CONVECTION INTENSIFYING. CURRENT FLASH FLOOD WATCH
FOR EASTERN MOUNTAINS AND INTERSTATE 25 CORRIDOR CONTINUES UNTIL
6AM...WHICH ACCOUNTS WELL FOR THE SECOND SHORTWAVE.

FRIDAY...BAND OF PRECIPITATION MAY CONTINUE OVER THE EASTERN
PLAINS DURING THE MORNING AS THE SHORTWAVE LIFTS TO THE NORTHEAST.
FLOW ALOFT TURNS MORE SOUTHWESTERLY. PRECIPITABLE WATERS DECREASE
SLIGHTLY FROM THURSDAY AS 700MB FLOW BECOMES MORE WESTERLY. THE
STRONGER SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WOULD TEND TO HAVE STORMS MOVE OFF THE
HIGHER TERRAIN DURING THE DAY. STORMS WILL STILL BE CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS...BUT FEEL THE THREAT FOR WIDESPREAD
HEAVY RAIN HAS DECREASED ENOUGH NOT TO ISSUE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH
AT THIS TIME. ALSO HAVE SOME CONCERNS THE ATMOSPHERE MAY TO TOO
STABLE TO GET WIDESPREAD CONVECTION. LATE SHIFTS CAN EVALUATE MORE
SUBTLE FEATURES AND DECIDE ON A WATCH. --PGW--

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 313 PM MDT THU SEP 12 2013

NO BIG CHANGES TO CURRENT FORECAST THINKING THROUGH THE PERIOD AS
FLOW ALOFT BECOMES MORE WESTERLY AND WEAKENS THROUGH SUNDAY...OWNING
TO THE THICK MONSOONAL PLUME ACROSS THE STATE TO SLOWLY DIMINISH.
THERE WILL STILL ENOUGH MOISTURE IN PLACE FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...WITH
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL STILL A THREAT DUE TO THE WEAK STEERING FLOW
ALOFT. BY SATURDAY NIGHT...A PASSING SYSTEM ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER
OF STATES SENDS A WEAK BACKDOOR COLD FRONT ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS
WITH MOIST EASTERLY UPSLOPE FLOW HELPING TO INCREASE PRECIPITATION
CHANCES ACROSS THE AREA AGAIN SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

MONDAY-THURSDAY...THE LATEST MODELS ALL CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE A
WARMING AND DRYING TREND DEVELOPING ACROSS THE AREA NEXT WEEK AS A
BROAD UPPER TROUGH SETS UP ACROSS THE PAC NW COAST. THIS WILL KEEP
MODERATE WEST TO SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT ACROSS THE REGION AND ALLOW
FOR TEMPERATURES TO WARM BACK TO ABOVE SEASONAL AVERAGES BY THE
MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. AS FOR PRECIPITATION...SHOULD SEE AVAILABLE
MOISTURE DIMINISHING THROUGH THE EARLY WEEK...WITH ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED POPS AREA WIDE ON MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
PRECIPITATION CHANCES CONTINUE TO DECREASE THEREAFTER AND HAVE KEPT
MAINLY ISOLATED DIURNAL POPS ACROSS THE AREA INTO MID WEEK.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 313 PM MDT THU SEP 12 2013

KCOS AND KPUB...MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT WITH
CONVECTION AT KPUB AND KCOS THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT.  ANTICIPATE
GENERALLY MFVR CONDITIONS...WITH IFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES
POSSIBLE IN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.  AMOUNT OF MOISTURE WILL
DECREASE SLIGHTLY ON FRIDAY..AND STILL ANTICIPATE MVFR TO IFR
CONDITIONS IN THE HEAVIER SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

KALS...CONVECTION WILL BE LESS LIKELY THAN AT KCOS AND KPUB.
GENERALLY HAVE VFR CONDITIONS WITH MVFR OR IFR IN HEAVIER SHOWERS.
WITH TWO DISTURBANCES PASSING THURSDAY EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT...THREAT FOR SOME CONVECTION COULD LINGER WELL INTO THE
NIGHT.   --PGW--
