AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
320 PM MDT WED JUN 24 2015

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 320 PM MDT WED JUN 24 2015

ONCE AGAIN...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED PRIMARILY AFTERNOON AND EVENING
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS(ESPECIALLY OVER HIGHER TERRAIN LOCATIONS)
AND TEMPERATURES ARE THE MAIN NEAR/SHORT-TERM METEOROLOGICAL ISSUES.
MAJORITY OF CWFA CURRENTLY NOTING VARIABLE CLOUDINESS...GENERALLY
LOW-GRADE GRADIENT WINDS AND CONTINUED ABOVE SEASONAL EARLY MORNING
LATE JUNE TEMPERATURES.

LATEST RECENT NEAR/SHORT TERM FORECAST MODEL SOUNDINGS...COMPUTER
SIMULATIONS...REAL-TIME DATA AND PV ANALYSIS INDICATE THAT ENOUGH
ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE REMAINS IN PLACE AND WILL COMBINE WITH THE
DAILY OROGRAPHIC HEATING CYCLE...A NORTHERLY SURGE ATTEMPTING TO
PUSH INTO NORTHERN SECTIONS FROM LATER THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS
EVENING AND SOME UPPER ENERGY TO ALLOW FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF ISOLATED
TO SCATTERED PRIMARILY AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS(FAVORING HIGHER TERRAIN LOCATIONS). WFO PUEBLO WILL
CLOSELY MONITOR RECENT AREA BURN SCARS(INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
THE WALDO CANYON BURN SCAR) FOR ANY STORMS THAT HAVE HIGHER
PRECIPITATION PRODUCING POTENTIAL.

IN ADDITION...STILL ANTICIPATE THAT ABOVE SEASONAL LATE JUNE MAXIMUM
AND MINIMUM TEMPERATURES RESPECTIVELY WILL CONTINUE TO BE NOTED OVER
THE MAJORITY OF THE FORECAST DISTRICT DURING THE SHORT-TERM.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 320 PM MDT WED JUN 24 2015

A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN CENTERED OVER THE GREAT BASIN
THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD...WITH THE FORECAST AREA LOCATED TO THE
EAST OF THE RIDGE UNDER LIGHT NORTH TO NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT.
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN NEAR SEASONAL NORMS.

THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY...MODELS INDICATE THAT LLVL EASTERLY
UPSLOPE FLOW WILL BE IN PLACE ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS THROUGH
FRI...PROVIDING FOR A FAIRLY GOOD SHOT FOR SOME PCPN ACROSS ALL OF
THE CWA. ONGOING POPS HAD SCATTERED OVER THE MTS AND ISOLATED
ELSEWHERE...BUT FELT THAT INCREASING POPS ALONG THE I25 CORRIDOR TO
SCATTERED AS WELL WAS WARRANTED. SHOWER AND STORM ACTIVITY MAY
CONTINUE THROUGH THE NIGHT BOTH THU AND FRI NIGHT. LOOK FOR MAX
TEMPS IN THE AFTN IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S FOR MOST LOWER ELEVATION
LOCATIONS...AS WELL AS THE HIGH VALLEYS.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...SFC WINDS ARE FORECAST TO BECOME MORE
SOUTHERLY OVER THE WEEKEND...WITH A GENERAL S-SE WIND FLOW. THIS
SHOULD HELP TO BOOST TEMPS BY A FEW DEGREES TO CLOSER TO 90F BY SUN.
ALSO...SCATTERED POPS WILL BECOME MORE RESTRICTED TO THE HIGHER
TERRAIN WITH ISOLATED ELSEWHERE.

MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...THE UPPER RIDGE STRENGTHENS A BIT
STARTING MON...WHICH WILL HELP TO KEEP CONVECTION TIED MORE SO TO
THE MTS. SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BECOME EVEN MORE ISOLATED FOR THE
PLAINS...AND MAY EVEN STAY RAIN-FREE FOR MON AND TUE. THE GFS SHOWS
A SFC COLD FRONT THAT DROPS DOWN THE EASTERN PLAINS EARLY WED
MORNING...INCREASING CONVECTION CHANCES ONCE AGAIN FOR THE PLAINS
WED AFTN AS WELL AS OFFERING A SLIGHT COOLDOWN. LOOK FOR MAX TEMPS
MON AND TUE IN THE 90S FOR THE PLAINS...AND IN THE 80S FOR THE HIGH
VALLEYS. FOR WED...MAX TEMPS ARE FORECAST TO BE IN THE 80S ACROSS
THE PLAINS AND VALLEYS. MOORE
