NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
1211 PM MDT WED JUL 10 2013

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 459 AM MDT WED JUL 10 2013

PRIMARY SHORT-TERM METEOROLOGICAL CONCERNS INCLUDE
THUNDERSTORMS...SOME POTENTIALLY STRONG TO SEVERE(ESPECIALLY OVER
EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST DISTRICT)...TEMPERATURES AND BURN
SCAR PRECIPITATION CHALLENGES.

CWFA CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING ISOLATED SHOWER ACTIVITY IN COMBINATION
WITH CONTINUED ABOVE SEASONAL EARLY MORNING TEMPERATURES AND LIGHT
WINDS.

LATEST RECENT REAL-TIME DATA...FORECAST MODEL SOUNDINGS AND COMPUTER
SIMULATIONS INDICATE THAT UPPER HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN OVER THE
FORECAST DISTRICT THROUGH TONIGHT.  AT THE SURFACE...BOUNDARY ACROSS
THE SOUTHEASTERN PLAINS IS EXPECTED TO ALLOW DEEPER ATMOSPHERIC
MOISTURE TO INTERACT WITH LOCALIZED CAPES/LIS AND 0 TO 6 KM BULK
SHEAR VALUES IN EXCESS OF 2000 J/KG...-5C AND 35 KNOTS AT
TIMES...ESPECIALLY OVER FAR EASTERN SECTIONS OF THE CWFA.

LATEST CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK FROM SPC CONTINUES TO PAINT A SLIGHT RISK
OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHEASTERN COLORADO PLAINS
WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING THUNDERSTORM DOWNBURST WINDS POSSIBLE.
WFO PUEBLO WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR CLOSELY AND ISSUE STATEMENTS AND
WARNING PRODUCTS AS NEEDED.

IN ADDITION...WFO PUEBLO WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE BURN
SCARS CLOSELY AND ISSUE ANY NEEDED STATEMENTS AND FLOOD
PRODUCTS...ESPECIALLY IF ANY STRONGER STORMS DEVELOP NEAR/OVER THE
BURN SCARS LATER TODAY.

FINALLY...SHORT-TERM TEMPERATURES ARE PROJECTED TO CONTINUE TO RUN
ABOVE CLIMATOLOGICAL AVERAGES OVER THE MAJORITY OF THE FORECAST
DISTRICT...ALTHOUGH MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES TODAY SHOULD RUN A CATEGORY
OR SO COOLER THAN VALUES EXPERIENCED YESTERDAY OVER MOST AREAS.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 459 AM MDT WED JUL 10 2013

THURSDAY-SATURDAY...LIGHT AND VARIABLE FLOW ALOFT PROGGED ACROSS THE
STATE THURSDAY WITH UPPER HIGH CENTERED ACROSS THE CENTRAL ROCKIES.
FLOW ALOFT BECOMES MORE SOUTHWEST AND SLOWLY INCREASES THROUGH THE
DAY FRIDAY AS SHORT WAVE ENERGY MOVING ACROSS THE GREAT BASIN AND
NORTHERN ROCKIES PUSHES THE UPPER HIGH EAST INTO THE CENTRAL HIGH
PLAINS WITH GENERALLY WEAK SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT PERSISTING INTO
SATURDAY. LATEST MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE AVAILABLE MOISTURE
INCREASING THROUGH THE PERIOD AS MONSOONAL PLUME ACROSS THE DESERT
SOUTHWEST BECOMES EMBEDDED WITHIN THE INCREASING SOUTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT. WITH SHORT WAVE ENERGY STAYING NORTH OF THE AREA...SHOULD
CONTINUE TO SEE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING THROUGH THE LATE
MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOONS ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN WITH STRONG
JULY SUNSHINE. STORMS SLOWLY MOVE EAST ACROSS THE IMMEDIATE ADJACENT
PLAINS THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING WITH STORMS WANING THROUGH THE LATE
EVENING WITH THE LOSS OF SOLAR HEATING. CONVECTION LOOKS TO BE
CAPPED ACROSS THE FAR SOUTHEASTERN PLAINS WITH WARM AIR ALOFT UNDER
HIGH...THOUGH COULD SEE A FEW ISOLATED STORMS DEVELOPING IN THE
EVENING HOURS WITH POSSIBLE CONVECTIVE OUTFLOWS. WITH THE GENERALLY
WEAK FLOW ALOFT...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL BECOMES THE MAIN THREAT
FROM STORMS...ALONG WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING ON THE NEW
AND RECENT BURN SCARS ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST COLORADO.
WITH THE WARM AIR ALOFT...TEMPS LOOK TO BE AT AND ABOVE SEASONAL
AVERAGES...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS WITH HIGHS IN THE
90S TO LOWER 100S EXPECTED.

SUNDAY-TUESDAY...WEAK EASTERLY FLOW DEVELOPS ACROSS THE STATE WITH
UPPER HIGH RETROGRADING BACK ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN ROCKIES
INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...AS MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE A DEVELOPING
TUTT CELL IN THE GULF OF MEXICO MOVING WEST INTO NORTHERN OLD MEXICO
THROUGH THE PERIOD. DEVELOPING PATTERN SUGGESTS A SLOW DRYING
TREND...ESPECIALLY ACROSS EASTERN COLORADO...AS MOISTURE PLUME IS
SHUNTED WEST OF THE AREA THROUGH THE PERIOD. CONVECTION BECOME MORE
HIGH BASED AND ANCHORED TO THE HIGHER TERRAIN. TEMPERATURES LOOK TO
REMAIN AT OR SLIGHTLY WARMER THAN SEASONAL AVERAGES INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK AS WELL.

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

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER THE
SOUTHEASTERN COLORADO PLAINS TODAY AND TONIGHT. THE HIGHEST
RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE EAST OF INTERSTATE 25 AND
NORTH OF HIGHWAY 50.

THE MOST INTENSE STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING HAIL UP TO
THE SIZE OF GOLF BALLS AND THUNDERSTORM WIND GUSTS AROUND 60 MPH
AT TIMES AS WELL AS PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN AND HAZARDOUS LIGHTNING
AND POSSIBLY EVEN A TORNADO. IN ADDITION...THE INCREASED RISK OF
HEAVY RAIN WILL ALSO ELEVATE THE RISK OF FLASH FLOODING ON AREA
BURN SCARS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY

ISOLATED TO SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED ACROSS THE AREA THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. THE GREATEST
COVERAGE OF STORMS WILL BE OVER AND NEAR THE HIGHER TERRAIN. THE
MAIN STORM THREATS THROUGH THIS PERIOD WILL BE CLOUD TO GROUND
LIGHTNING AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. THE LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN WILL
ALSO POSE AN INCREASED FLASH FLOOD THREAT...MAINLY FOR THE NEW AND
RECENT BURN SCARS ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST COLORADO.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A PLAN OF ACTION SHOULD HEAVY RAIN OCCUR OR A
FLASH FLOOD WARNING IS ISSUED.

A DRYING TREND IS FORECAST FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK AS AVAILABLE MOISTURE
IS SHUNTED WEST OF THE AREA. ENOUGH MOISTURE WILL REMAIN FOR MORE
ISOLATED HIGH BASED DIURNAL STORMS ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN. THE
MAIN THREATS FROM THESE STORMS WILL BE LIGHTNING AND GUSTY WINDS UP
TO 50 MPH.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

WEATHER CONDITIONS THAT MEET REPORTING CRITERIA FOR SPOTTERS WILL BE
POSSIBLE TODAY AND TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY FROM THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS
INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN COLORADO PLAINS AS WELL AS NEAR AREA BURN
SCARS.
