ISSUED AT 541 PM MDT FRI MAY 23 2014

LOADED LATEST OBSERVATIONS INTO SHORT TERM FORECAST GRIDS. NO
OTHER UPDATES TO FORECAST AT THIS TIME. LW

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 332 PM MDT FRI MAY 23 2014

CURRENTLY...CONVECTION RATHER SPARSE ACROSS SOUTHERN COLORADO SO FAR
THIS AFTERNOON...THOUGH AREA OF MORE VIGOROUS TSRA WASN'T TOO FAR
AWAY OVER NRN NM. AIR MASS OVER THE REGION REMAINS MODERATELY
UNSTABLE...AND EXPECT AN INCREASE IN STORMS MOST AREAS THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON...AS SEVERAL WEAK BOUNDARIES EVIDENT IN
KPUX RADAR DATA MAY CONVERGE ACROSS PUEBLO/EL PASO COUNTIES 21Z-
23Z...WHICH COULD FORCE SOME NEW CONVECTION. MESOSCALE
MODELS...INCLUDING THE LATEST HRRR SUPPORT THE IDEA OF INCREASING
TSRA OVER THE PLAINS THROUGH EARLY EVENING AS WELL. CONVECTION WILL
GRADUALLY WANE BY MIDNIGHT...THOUGH WITH MODELS HINTING AT OVERNIGHT
MCS ACROSS NRN NM...WILL KEEP SOME LOW POPS GOING DURING THE
NIGHT...MAINLY ACROSS SOUTHERN ZONES.

MESOSCALE DETAILS WILL LIKELY DRIVE CONVECTION ON SATURDAY...AS SOME
SORT OF WEAKENING MCS WILL BE MOVING OUT OF NERN NM/TX PANH INTO THE
SOUTHEAST PLAINS DURING THE MORNING. DEPENDING ON STRENGTH OF
MCS...MUCH OF AREA ALONG AND EAST OF THE MOUNTAINS MAY SEE SOME
FAIRLY HEALTHY SUBSIDENCE ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE SYSTEM...WHICH
WOULD LIMIT TSRA CHANCES. STILL...WITH MODERATE INSTABILITY COVERING
MOST OF THE AREA...TOUGH TO RULE OUT STORMS JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE
DURING THE AFTERNOON. BEST PRECIP COVERAGE MAY END UP OVER THE
SOUTHWEST MOUNTAINS...WHERE STRONG DYNAMIC LIFT FROM THE UPPER LOW
COMES INTO PLAY DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON. SEVERE THREAT LOOKS LOW
ONCE AGAIN...AS DEEPER INSTABILITY AND STRONGER WIND SHEAR REMAIN TO
THE SOUTH OVER WRN TX. MAX TEMPS SHOULD STAY RELATIVELY
UNCHANGED...WITH READINGS REMAINING BELOW SEASONAL AVERAGES.

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 332 PM MDT FRI MAY 23 2014

SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...A VERY UNSETTLED PATTERN IN PLACE
OVER THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND...AND THE GFS...NAM AND EC MODELS ALL SEEM
TO AGREE ON THIS. THE UPPER LOW CURRENTLY OVER SOUTHWESTERN AZ IS
EXPECTED TO SLOWLY MEANDER ALONG THE CO/NM STATE LINE SAT NIGHT
THROUGH MON...BEFORE EXITING TO THE EAST ACROSS THE OK AND TX
PANHANDLES ON TUE. A COUPLE OF THINGS TO NOTE WITH THIS SYSTEM. THE
SLOW MOVEMENT AND THE EXPECTED PLACEMENT OF THE LOW MEANS THAT THERE
IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME HEAVY RAINFALL IN PLACES. MODELS ALSO
INDICATE A POSSIBLE DRY SLOT FOR SUNDAY ACROSS THE PLAINS. WHERE THE
HEAVY RAINFALL OCCURS...AND WHERE AND WHEN THE DRY SLOT WILL
HAPPEN...IS VERY DIFFICULT TO PREDICT AT THIS TIME.
THEREFORE...BLANKETED MOSTLY CLOUDY TO OVERCAST SKIES FOR THE
FORECAST AREA FOR MUCH OF THE WEEKEND...AND WENT WITH AT LEAST
ISOLATED POPS FOR MUCH OF THE AREA AT ALL TIMES. MODELS INDICATE THE
DRY SLOT WILL OCCUR SUNDAY OVER THE PLAINS...SO LESSENED SKY COVER
AND LOWERED POPS THERE DURING THAT TIME FRAME.
OTHERWISE...CONVECTION WILL OCCUR IN BANDS AND EXACT AMOUNTS AND
PLACEMENT ARE IMPOSSIBLE AT THIS TIME. AS FOR TEMPS...SHOULD BE
FAIRLY WARM WITH MAX TEMPS NEAR 80 F FOR THE PLAINS EACH
DAY...THOUGH ONGOING MAX TEMP FOR TUE WILL MOST LIKELY HAVE TO BE
COOLED. AREA BURN SCARS WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED CLOSELY EACH DAY
OVER THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...EXTENDED MODELS INDICATE THAT THE UPPER
LOW WILL HAVE FINALLY MOVED EAST OF THE AREA AND OUT OF COLORADO BY
TUE EVE...WITH RIDGING DEVELOPING ACROSS THE DESERT SW FOR THE
SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK. THE GFS PAINTS A VERY WET PICTURE...WHILE
THE EC IS LEANING TOWARDS A MORE PROBABLE SOLUTION OF DIURNAL MT
CONVECTION AND PREDOMINANTLY DRY ELSEWHERE. THEREFORE...AMENDED THE
EXTENDED PROCEDURE POP GRIDS TO SHOW ISOLATED TO LOW END SCATTERED
POPS OVER THE MTS AND ADJACENT PLAINS EACH AFTN AND EVE...THEN DRY
WITH CLEARING SKIES OVERNIGHT. SEASONABLE TEMPS ARE FORECAST...WITH
MAX TEMPS IN THE 80S FOR THE PLAINS AND 70S FOR THE HIGH VALLEYS.

SOME INCREASING TSRA ACTIVITY KCOS AND KPUB 22Z-23Z AS SEVERAL
OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES COLLIDE IN THE GENERAL AREA. SOME OF THE STRONGER
STORMS MAY PRODUCE BRIEF MVFR CIGS/VIS...ALONG WITH SOME SMALL HAIL
AND GUSTY WINDS. EXPECT ACTIVITY TO GRADUALLY DIMINISH TO A FEW
SHOWERS LATE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. EARLY MORNING STRATUS HAS BEEN
RATHER PATCHY THE PAST COUPLE DAYS...SO WILL KEEP MENTION OUT OF
TAFS FOR NOW...THOUGH THERE WILL STILL BE A THREAT FOR SOME MVFR
CIGS AFTER SUNRISE SATURDAY...ESPECIALLY EAST OF I-25. LITTLE CHANGE
IN THE PATTERN ON SATURDAY...WITH SCATTERED CONVECTION MOST AREAS
