326 PM MDT SUN JUN 8 2014

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 312 PM MDT SUN JUN 8 2014

WILL HAVE TO BE BRIEF DUE TO ONGOING SVR WX. LINE OF STORMS NOW
EXTENDING FROM KLIC TO KPUB TO KTAD WILL CONTINUE ADVANCING EWD
AND EXIT INTO KS LATER THIS EVE. MAIN THREAT FROM THE LINE WILL
CONTINUE TO BE STRONG STRAIGHT LINE WINDS AND SOME HAIL UP TO
QUARTER SIZE. AN ISOLD TORNADO CANNOT BE RULED OUT. EXPECT CLEARING
OVERNIGHT WITH JUST SOME ISOLD SHOWER ACTIVITY. GFS CONTINUES TO SHOW
POTENTIAL FOR SOME WRAP AROUND SHOWERS/STORMS IN EXTREME SERN CO
TOMORROW...WHILE THE NAM CONTINUES TO BE DRY. WILL LEAN MORE TOWARDS
THE NAM...BUT MAINTAIN MARGINAL POPS NR THE KS BORDER. WILL BE A
RATHER COOL DAY IN THE WAKE OF THIS SYSTEM...WITH TEMPS LIKELY

LOW. ROSE

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 312 PM MDT SUN JUN 8 2014

MON NIGHT AND UPR RIDGE BEGINS BUILDING INTO THE STATE FROM THE
WEST...BRINGING DRY WEATHER TO THE FORECAST AREA.  THE RIDGE AXIS
MOVES OVR WRN CO ON TUE.  IT LOOKS LIKE MOST AREAS WL BE DRY ON
TUE...BUT THERE WL PROBABLY BE ENOUGH MSTR OVR THE AREA FOR SOME
SHOWERS/TSTMS TO DEVELOP OVR AND NR THE MTNS IN THE AFTERNOON HOURS
AND CONTINUING INTO THE EVENING. HIGH TEMPS ON TUE SHOULD BE A FEW
DEGREES ABOVE AVERAGE. ON WED A SHORTWAVE TROF IS EXPECTED TO MOVE
ACRS THE STATE...SENDING A FRONT THRU ERN CO LATE IN THE AFTERNOON.
THIS DISTURBANCE IS EXPECTED TO BRING ISOLD TO SCT PCPN CHANCES TO
MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA...ALTHOUGH THE MTS WL LIKELY HAVE THE BEST
CHANCES. HIGH TEMPS ON WED SHOULD AGAIN BE ABOVE AVERAGE MOST
AREAS...UNLESS THE FRONT COMES THRU THE ERN PLAINS A LITTLE EARLIER.
SOME PCPN COULD LINGER WED NIGHT INTO THE LATE NIGHT HOURS.

ON THU...THE MTNS SHOULD SEE THE BEST CHANCES FOR PCPN...BUT SOME
ISOLD SHOWER/TSTMS WL LIKELY MOVE OFF THE MTNS AND OVR THE LOWER
ELEVATIONS.  IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT...AND WITH EASTERLY UPSLOPE
FLOW ON THU...HIGH TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO BE A LITTLE COOLER THAN ON
WED.  MOST OF THE AREA LOOKS DRY ON FRI...BUT THERE MAY BE A DRYLINE
NEAR THE KS BORDER WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR TSTMS TO FIRE ALONG THAT
BOUNDARY. IT IS TOO EARLY TO TELL WHERE THAT MAY ACTUALLY SET UP.

SAT A FRONT IS FORECAST TO BACK INTO THE SERN PLAINS IN THE
AFTERNOON AND MAY BRING PCPN TO THE ERN MTNS AND PLAINS...WHILE WRN
PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA LOOK DRY.  THE GFS HAS DRY WESTERLY
FLOW ALOFT OVR THE AREA AND A DRY FORECAST...WHILE THE ECMWF HAS
MORE MSTR OVR THE AREA WITH PCPN DEVELOPING OVR THE ERN MTNS AND
PLAINS IN THE AFTERNOON.

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

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL IMPACT MOST OF SOUTHERN COLORADO
TODAY AS A STRONG UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE TRACKS ACROSS THE AREA
THROUGH EARLY EVENING. STORMS WILL CROSS THE I-25 CORRIDOR
BETWEEN 2 PM AND 5 PM...AND THEN TRACK EAST ACROSS THE REST OF
THE PLAINS INTO KANSAS BETWEEN 4 PM AND 7 PM. STORMS MAY LINGER
OVER THE FAR EASTERN PLAINS INTO THE EVENING HOURS BEFORE MOVING
OUT OF THE AREA ENTIRELY BY MIDNIGHT.

THE COMBINATION OF A STRONG UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE AND RICH LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE WILL RESULT IN CONCERNS OF HEAVY RAIN AND FLOODING
TODAY. THE THREAT OF FLOODING ON AREA BURN SCARS IS HIGHER TODAY
THAN IN PREVIOUS DAYS DUE TO THE STRENGTH OF THE DISTURBANCE
MOVING THROUGH AND THE AMOUNT OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AVAILABLE. THE
BURN SCARS IN PARTICULAR WILL HAVE TO BE MONITORED CLOSELY FOR
FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL TODAY.

OTHER CONCERNS TODAY INCLUDE SEVERE WEATHER AND LIGHTNING.
STRONG TO SEVER THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE AREA.
THERE WILL BE A LOW THREAT OF TORNADOES...ESPECIALLY JUST EAST
OF THE MOUNTAINS. LARGE HAIL UP TO GOLF BALL SIZE WILL BE
POSSIBLE ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS...ALONG WITH WIND GUSTS TO
70 MPH. PEOPLE SHOULD MAINTAIN A CLOSE WATCH ON THE WEATHER TODAY.

WHILE SOME THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY MAY LINGER OVER THE PLAINS INTO THE
EVENING HOURS...MOST ACTIVITY SHOULD BE EAST OF THE AREA BY AROUND
MIDNIGHT.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY

LINGERING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED MONDAY MORNING
ACROSS THE FAR EASTERN PLAINS...AS THE UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM MOVES
EAST OUT OF THE AREA.

ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL RETURN TO THE HIGHER TERRAIN TUESDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING...WITH THE MAIN THREATS BEING LIGHTNING
AND BRIEF PERIODS OF VERY LOCALIZED MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL.

CONVECTION WILL BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD FOR WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY...AS A SHORTWAVE PASSES TO THE NORTH AND PUSHES A COLD
FRONT DOWN INTO EASTERN COLORADO. THIS WILL REINFORCE THE
AVAILABLE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE...WHICH SERVES AS THE FUEL FOR
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

WEATHER CONDITIONS THAT MEET REPORTING CRITERIA FOR SPOTTERS WILL BE
LIKELY TODAY THROUGH THE EVENING.
