The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Pueblo, CO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 18, 2:57 PM MDT, 46 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 18, 2:57 PM MDT, 46 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO 257 PM MDT TUE JUN 18 2013 .SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY) ISSUED AT 253 PM MDT TUE JUN 18 2013 ...HIGH IMPACT WEATHER TO AFFECT THE AREA THROUGH THE SHORT TERM... SEVERE WEATHER THROUGH THIS EVENING...SHIFTING TO FIRE WEATHER FOR WEDNESDAY... SEVERE THUNDERSTORM THREAT STILL LOOKS HIGH THROUGH THIS EVENING. THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALREADY FIRING ALONG THE SOUTHEAST MOUNTAINS (SOUTHERN SANGRES) AS SOUTHERN JET STREAM APPROACHES THE FOUR CORNERS REGION. THUNDERSTORMS ALSO FIRING ACROSS NORTHERN/CEN CO AHEAD OF SHORTWAVE MOVING UP THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE UPPER RIDGE. COMBINED WITH PLENTY OF SFC BASED HEATING...EXPECT THESE THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE TO DRIFT TO THE EAST SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE PLAINS...INTERACTING WITH HIGH SFC DEW POINTS (GENERALLY IN THE 50S)...AND DEEP LAYER SHEARS OF AROUND 40-50 KTS. CAPE VALUES WILL PROBABLY RANGE AROUND 1000-2000 J/KG...PRODUCING A HIGH PROBABILITY FOR SUPERCELLS...WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. LCLS ARE LOW ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY THREAT FOR AN ISOLATED TORNADO...ESPECIALLY WHERE SFC WINDS PULL MORE EASTERLY UP THE ARKANSAS RIVER VALLEY. LATEST HRRR (11Z DUE TO SYSTEM UPGRADES AND LACK OF UPDATES) AND 4KM NSSL WRF...ALL PEG NORTHERN EL PASO COUNTY WITH POTENTIAL FOR SUPERCELL DEVELOPMENT...WHICH THEN DROPS SOUTH SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE EVENING. THIS RAISES CONCERNS FOR POTENTIAL FLASH FLOODING...ESPECIALLY ON THE BLACK FOREST BURN SCAR...AS WELL AS THE WALDO...THOUGH MODELS SEEM TO PEG BLACK FOREST WITH THE HIGHEST PROBABILITY. BEST THREAT FOR THIS AREA WILL RANGE FROM THE 3 PM TO 5 PM TIME FRAME. CONVECTION SHOULD SPREAD EASTWARD ACROSS THE PLAINS THIS EVENING WITH THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER WINDING DOWN AFTER 9 PM...AND THREAT FOR THUNDERSTORMS SHIFTING TO THE EAST OF THE AREA SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. CONCERNS SHIFT TOWARDS CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS FOR WEDNESDAY AS DRY AIRMASS MOVES IN FROM THE WEST WITH INCREASING SOUTHWEST FLOW. CURRENT RED FLAG WARNING STILL LOOKS ON TARGET. QUICK CALL AROUND TO LOCAL LAND MANAGEMENT AGENCIES INDICATES THAT FUELS ALONG THE SOUTHERN I-25 CORRIDOR...PUEBLO...HUERFANO...AND WESTERN LAS ANIMAS WILL CARRY FIRE...SO HAVE INCLUDED THOSE ZONES INTO THE RED FLAG WARNING. MEANWHILE...NEW MODEL RUNS HAVE BACKED THE DRY LINE WESTWARD AND KEEPS IT ACROSS THE FAR EASTERN COUNTIES DURING THE AFTERNOON. QUITE A BIT OF CAPE OUT THAT WAY WITH AROUND 2000+J/KG AND NAM12 INDICATING 0-6KM SHEARS AROUND 40-50 KTS...SO THERE WILL BE A CHANCE FOR SUPERCELLS WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL SHOULD A THUNDERSTORMS FIRE UP. THREAT LOOKS PRETTY ISOLATED AT THIS POINT AS TRIGGER MAY BE MISSING...BUT SOUNDINGS APPEAR TO LOSE THE CAP TOWARDS AFTERNOON...SO CONVERGENCE AND SFC HEATING MAY BE SUFFICIENT TO POP A THUNDERSTORM. -KT .LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY) ISSUED AT 253 PM MDT TUE JUN 18 2013 ...DANGEROUS FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS THROUGH THE EXTENDED... MODELS AGREE QUITE WELL INTO AND THROUGH THE WEEKEND. PATTERN IS A SLOW MOVING UPPER LOW OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND A RIDGE ACROSS THE CENTRAL US. OUR CWA WILL BE UNDER A BROAD...DRY SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WITH CONSEQUENT DANGEROUS FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS. WEDNESDAY NIGHT...LATEST MODEL RUNS SHOW A RIBBON OF HIGH CAPE VALUES ACROSS OUR KANSAS BORDER COUNTIES EARLY EVENING...SO REINTRODUCE ISOLATED POPS. THEREAFTER...DRY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE ENTIRE CWA. THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...THE UPPER LOW OVER THE NORTHWEST US WILL DRIFT EAST. SWIFT SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE CENTRAL ROCKIES...PRODUCING DANGEROUS FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS...ESPECIALLY OVER THE MOUNTAINS...HIGH VALLEYS...AND ADJACENT PLAINS WHERE MIXING WILL BE GREATEST AND FUELS CRITICAL. A FIRE WEATHER WATCH CONTINUES TO BE IN EFFECT FOR THE MOUNTAINS...HIGH VALLEYS...AND EL PASO COUNTY FOR THURSDAY. WE WILL LIKELY NEED FIRE WEATHER HIGHLIGHTS DURING FRIDAY. AFTERNOON HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE UPPER 90S TO LOWER 100S EXPECTED ACROSS THE PLAINS. VERY DRY AIR WILL PREVENT AND MOIST CONVECTION TO DEVELOP. THE PATTERN BEGINS TO BE MORE PROGRESSIVE THIS WEEKEND...AS THE UPPER LOW LIFTS NORTHEAST INTO SOUTH CENTRAL CANADA. SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE...HOWEVER MOISTURE WILL BEGIN TO MOVE NORTH INTO THE FAR SOUTHEASTERN PLAINS. THERE WILL BE A CONTINUED FIRE WEATHER THREAT OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND HIGH VALLEYS THROUGH THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE LONG RANGE MODELS DEVELOP DIURNAL CONVECTION ACROSS NORTHERN NEW MEXICO AND MOVE THEM NORTHEAST INTO THE FAR SOUTHEASTERN PLAINS. WE HAVE LOW POPS GENERALLY ALONG THE NEW MEXICO BORDER THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS THE THUNDERSTORMS MOVE INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND CLIP OUR FAR SOUTHEAST COUNTIES. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN WARM WITH 90S ACROSS THE LOWER ELEVATIONS INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. -TLM- && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY EVENING) ISSUED AT 253 PM MDT TUE JUN 18 2013 VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED AT TAF SITES WITH POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS AT BOTH KCOS AND KPUB TAF SITES AFTER 21Z.

STORMS WILL DEVELOP OVER THE MOUNTAINS BY EARLY AFTERNOON AND MOVE EAST TO SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE PLAINS THROUGH THE EVENING. LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND AN ISOLATED TORNADO WILL BE POSSIBLE. OF PARTICULAR INTEREST...MODEL GUIDANCE SHOWS THE POTENTIAL FOR A SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORM TO DEVELOP OVER NORTHERN EL PASO COUNTY BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON. THIS STORM HAS THE POTENTIAL TO AFFECT FIRE OPERATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE BLACK FOREST BURN SCAR. THERE ALSO IS THE POSSIBILITY OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN FALLING ACROSS THE BURN SCARS THIS AFTERNOON...PARTICULARLY ON THE BLACK FOREST AND WALDO CANYON BURN SCARS. THIS COULD LEAD TO FLASH FLOODING WITH MUD AND ASH FLOWS IN THE MORE VULNERABLE LOCATIONS. OVER THE VALLEYS AND MOUNTAINS...ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WITH LITTLE RAIN WILL OCCUR. THE PRIMARY THREAT FROM THESE STORMS WILL BE CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING WHICH WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE NEW FIRE STARTS. STRONG WINDS TO 50 MPH WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE. ALL STORMS TODAY WILL PRODUCE DANGEROUS CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING. REMEMBER...ONE OF THE SAFEST PLACES DURING LIGHTNING ACTIVITY...BESIDES A STURDY BUILDING...IS IN YOUR VEHICLE. BE PREPARED TO FIND SHELTER EARLY BEFORE LIGHTNING THREATENS YOUR AREA. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY STRONG WINDS AND VERY LOW HUMIDITY VALUES WILL LEAD TO VERY DANGEROUS TO EXTREME FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY OVER THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE...SAN LUIS VALLEY...THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS AND EL PASO COUNTY. EXTREME CAUTION IS ADVISED EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING OVER THESE AREAS. FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN ELEVATED DURING THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK ACROSS ALL OF SOUTHERN COLORADO. THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP OVER NEW MEXICO WILL MOVE NORTHEAST AND CLIP FAR SOUTHEAST COLORADO OVER THE WEEKEND. LIGHTNING AND GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN THREATS. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
