AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
1200 PM MDT WED JUL 16 2014

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 344 AM MDT WED JUL 16 2014

CURRENTLY...NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT CONTINUES OVER THE AREA WITH MAIN
UPPER TROUGH DROPPING SOUTH ACROSS WY. SEVERAL WEAK WAVES EMBEDDED
IN THE FLOW AHEAD OF THE TROUGH HAVE BEEN CROSSING THE AREA THIS
MORNING...BRINGING WITH THEM BANDS OF SHOWERS AND WEAK
THUNDERSTORMS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS. FOR
TODAY...LARGE SCALE UPWARD MOTION INCREASES ACROSS THE AREA AS UPPER
TROUGH MOVES SLOWLY SOUTH ACROSS WY AND INTO NRN CO TONIGHT. SURFACE
COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE TROUGH WILL PUSH SOUTH ACROSS THE
PLAINS IN THE AFTERNOON...REACHING THE NM BORDER IN THE EVENING.
AHEAD OF THE FRONT...LOW LEVELS OVER THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS AND I-25
CORRIDOR APPEAR TO DRY SLIGHTLY...AS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AXIS SHIFTS
EASTWARD ONTO THE PLAINS. SUSPECT LOW CLOUDS...WHICH LIMITED
INSTABILITY YESTERDAY WILL BE MORE SPARSE TODAY...AND WITH WARMER
SURFACE TEMPS MOST AREAS SHOULD SEE GREATER INSTABILITY AND THUS
STRONGER CONVECTION DURING THE AFTERNOON. INITIAL FOCUS FOR
STRONG/SEVERE STORMS WILL BE THE FAR EASTERN PLAINS...EAST OF A
LIMON/LA JUNTA/KIM LINE...WHERE 0-6KM SHEAR IS GREATEST AND CAPES
CLIMB INTO THE 1-2K J/KG RANGE. HAVE INCLUDED MENTION OF SEVERE IN
THE FORECAST FOR A FEW SOUTHEAST PLAINS ZONES...AND WOULDN'T BE TOO
SURPRISED TO SEE A POSSIBLE TORNADO WITH ONE OF THE STRONGER STORMS.
FARTHER WEST...STRONG STORMS AND BRIEF HEAVY RAIN WILL BE POSSIBLE
OVER THE I-25 CORRIDOR AND POINTS WESTWARD...THOUGH ITS TOUGH TO
PICK AN AREA OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN PARTICULARLY FAVORED FOR
STRONGEST STORMS. WILL COUNT ON FEWER CLOUDS INITIALLY THIS
AFTERNOON....LEADING TO WARMER MAX TEMPS...THOUGH STILL WENT UNDER
GUIDANCE VALUES MOST LOCATIONS EAST OF THE MOUNTAINS.

TONIGHT...LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL SLOSH WESTWARD BEHIND THE COLD
FRONT...BRINGING BACK THE THREAT OF HEAVY RAIN TO MUCH OF THE I-25
CORRIDOR AND EASTERN MOUNTAINS IN THE EVENING. WITH UPPER TROUGH
PROVIDING STRONG UPWARD MOTION THROUGH THE NIGHT...MODELS HAVE ALL
BEEN SHOWING RATHER LARGE MCS DEVELOPING OVER THE EASTERN PLAINS BY
06Z...THEN SLOWLY DROPPING SOUTH INTO THE TEXAS PANHANDLE BY EARLY
THU MORNING. WILL INCREASE POPS AND QPF OVER THE FAR SOUTHEAST TO
ACCOUNT FOR THIS SCENARIO. BEHIND THE MCS...ENOUGH UPWARD MOTION TO
KEEP A THREAT OF TSRA GOING THROUGH MOST OF THE NIGHT...THOUGH
INTENSITY WILL BE WANING AS AIR MASS STABILIZES. HAVE HELD OFF ON A
FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR NOW...BUT ONE MAY BE NEEDED OVER THE FAR
SOUTHEAST PLAINS TONIGHT IF SLOW MOVING MCS DEVELOPS.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 344 AM MDT WED JUL 16 2014

...RETURN TO SUMMER THIS WEEKEND...

ONE MORE DAY OF FALL-LIKE TEMPERATURES ON THURSDAY...THEN
THE UPPER RIDGE REBUILDS AND WE SHOULD RETURN TO MORE
SEASONABLE CONDITIONS FOR THE WEEKEND AND BEYOND.

TROUGH MOVING FROM THE NW THROUGH THE CENTRAL PLAINS WILL
STILL BE MOVING THROUGH THU MORNING...AND THE TROUGH AXIS
WILL NOT PASS THROUGH OUR AREA UNTIL AT LEAST 18Z...SO
THREAT OF CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE THU MORNING...ALTHOUGH IT
WILL LIKELY BE MOSTLY SHOWER ACTIVITY AS OPPOSED TO THUNDER.
BUFKIT SOUNDINGS SHOW PRETTY MOIST CONDITIONS THROUGH 500
MB THU MORNING...WITH LOW LCLS PERSISTING. SO...A RATHER
CLOUDY START TO THE DAY. TEMPS MAY STRUGGLE TO MAKE IT INTO
THE 70S AGAIN AT KCOS DEPENDING ON THE EXTENT OF PRECIP AND
LOW CIGS. SHOULD CLEAR OUT BY AFTERNOON...BUT MAY BE TOO STABLE
OVER THE PLAINS FOR NEW CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT...SO MOST
OF THE STORMS WILL BE CONFINED TO THE MTS AND SURROUNDING
AREAS FOR THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING PERIOD.

FOR FRIDAY...THE FLOW IS STILL A BIT NWRLY...AND A WEAK
DISTURBANCE IN THE AFTERNOON SHOULD SET OFF ANOTHER ROUND
OF SHOWERS AND STORMS...THOUGH NOT AS WIDESPREAD AS WE HAVE
SEEN RECENTLY. TEMPS COULD BREAK THE 90 DEGREE MARK OVER THE
PLAINS.

FOR THE WEEKEND AND BEYOND... THE UPPER RIDGE WILL SLOWLY BUILD
BACK FROM THE SOUTH THROUGH NM. INITIALLY THIS WILL KEEP US UNDER
DRY WRLY FLOW FROM THE DESERT SW...AND SAT-MON COULD BE FAIRLY DRY
OVERALL WITH TEMPS APPROACHING 100 DEGREES FOR SOME SPOTS OVER THE
PLAINS AND SOLID 80S FOR THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS. WILL KEEP
LOW/ISOLD POPS CONFINED TO THE MT AREAS. FINALLY...THE UPPER HIGH
BECOMES REESTABLISHED OVER THE 4 CORNERS REGION EARLY NEXT
WEEK...AND WE SHOULD RETURN TO MORE OF A TYPICAL MONSOONAL PATTERN
WITH TEMPS IN THE 80S-90S AND THE USUAL JULY DIURNAL STORMS. ROSE

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1159 AM MDT WED JUL 16 2014

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE KALS...KCOS
AND KPUB TAF SITES AT TIMES FROM THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS
EVENING...CAPABLE OF PRODUCING PERIODS OF MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS AS
WELL AS THE POTENTIAL FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN.
