.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 404 AM MDT TUE JUN 9 2015

UPPER RIDGE WILL MIGRATE EASTWARD ACROSS THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES
TODAY...WITH REMNANT MOISTURE FROM TC BLANCA LIFTING NORTHWARD OUT
OF THE DESERT SOUTHWEST INTO WESTERN COLORADO TONIGHT AS RIDGE AXIS
MOVES INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS. FOR TODAY...AIR MASS OVER THE AREA
WILL REMAIN FAIRLY DRY...WITH A SLOW INCREASE IN MID LEVEL MOISTURE
OVER ALONG THE CO/NM LATE IN THE DAY. STILL APPEARS IT WILL BE
ANOTHER RELATIVELY DOWN DAY FOR CONVECTION WITH RIDGE OVERHEAD
PRODUCING WEAK DOWNWARD MOTION...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE EASTERN
PLAINS. STILL...SOME MODEL SOLUTIONS...ESPECIALLY THE LAST COUPLE
RUNS OF THE NAM...SUGGEST AT LEAST SOME ISOLATED HIGH BASED
CONVECTION WILL FORM LATE THIS AFTERNOON ALONG THE PALMER DIVIDE AND
RATON MESA...WHERE WEAK LOW LEVEL MOISTURE CONVERGENCE IS MAXIMIZED.
SOUTHWEST MOUNTAINS COULD ALSO SEE AN UPTICK IN TSRA AS MOISTURE
INCREASES LATE. SHOULD BE ANOTHER WARM DAY MOST LOCATIONS AS
HEIGHTS/MID LEVEL TEMPS PEAK...THOUGH STATISTICAL GUIDANCE HAS BEEN
CONSISTENTLY TOO WARM THE PAST FEW WEEKS AND WILL STICK WITH
SLIGHTLY COOLER BLENDED MODEL SOLUTIONS. OVERNIGHT...ANY WEAK
EASTERN MOUNTAIN/PLAINS CONVECTION SHOULD DIE THIS EVENING...WHILE
SHOWERS GRADUALLY INCREASE AND SPREAD NORTHEASTWARD OVER THE
SOUTHWEST MOUNTAINS AS TROPICAL MOISTURE CONTINUES TO WORK
NORTHWARD. LEANED TOWARD THE FASTER ONSET OF PRECIP IN THE GFS AFTER
MIDNIGHT GIVEN TRAJECTORY OF CONVECTION OVER AZ...WITH POPS
GRADUALLY RAMPING UP OVERNIGHT ALONG THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE AND INTO
A FEW INTERIOR VALLEYS BY WED MORNING.

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 404 AM MDT TUE JUN 9 2015

...FLOODING POSSIBLE LATE THU-THU NIGHT...

HEAVY RAIN WILL BE THE PRIMARY WEATHER THREAT DURING THIS FORECAST
PERIOD. SOME HEAVY RAIN WILL BE POSSIBLE AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS
FORECAST PERIOD...BUT THE MAIN CONCERN WILL BE LATE THU
AFTERNOON/THURSDAY NIGHT ALONG THE MTNS/PLAINS INTERFACE AND
EASTERN PLAINS. BOTH OF THESE POTENTIAL RAIN EVENTS CAN BE TIED TO
THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL CYCLONE BLANCA.

WEDNESDAY...

THE ACTUAL REMNANT CIRCULATION OF BLANCA IS FORECAST TO BE
LOCATED OVER WEST CENTRAL NEVADA AT THIS TIME. THIS CIRCULATION
WILL BE IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING ABSORBED INTO A PACIFIC 500 MB
CLOSED CIRCULATION WHICH WILL BE MOVING ONSHORE OF C CALIF AT THIS
TIME. IN THE MEANTIME...A BAND OF MOISTURE FROM BLANCA...MOSTLY IN
THE MID AND UPPER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE...WILL EXTEND FROM THE
REMNANT CIRCULATION LOCATED OVER WEST CENTRAL NEVADA TO NORTHERN
NEW MEXICO. THIS BAND OF MOISTURE WILL MOVE OVER COLORADO MAINLY
DURING THE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS. AT THIS TIME...IT
APPEARS THE BEST CHANCE OF HEAVY RAIN WILL OCCUR OVER THE CONTDVD
DURING THE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON. FLOODING...ESPECIALLY OVER
THE MINERAL COUNTY BURN SCARS...WILL BE POSSIBLE DURING THIS TIME.
BY LATE AFTERNOON WED...THE BRUNT OF THE MOISTURE WILL BE LIFTING
NORTHEAST ACROSS THE STATE AND WILL BRING A THREAT OF SHOWERS AND
STORMS TO THE PLAINS. A FEW STRONG STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE AS
MODEST SHEAR AND CAPE WILL BE OVER THE REGION. SPC HAS THE FAR E
PLAINS IN A MARGINAL RISK THIS DAY.

THURSDAY...

WE COULD SEE FLOODING/FLASH FLOODING OVER THE FORECAST AREA ON
THIS DAY. ALL THE INGREDIENTS FOR FLOODING ARE COMING TOGETHER.
FIRST...AS WE ALL KNOW...THE GROUND ACROSS MOST OF THE STATE OF
COLORADO IS SATURATED FROM THE HEAVY RECORD BREAKING MAY RAINFALL.
2ND...THE REMNANT BLANCA CIRCULATION WILL BE ABSORBED INTO THE 500
MB PACIFIC CIRCULATION...AND THIS CIRCULATION WILL BE LOCATED IN C
UTAH BY 12Z THURSDAY...AND THIS FEATURE WILL BE MOVING TOWARDS OUR
REGION DURING PRIME HEATING THU AFTERNOON/EVENING. 3RD...A SURFACE
COOL FRONT WILL BE MOVING DOWN THE PLAINS DURING THE DAY
THURSDAY...AND SHOULD BE LYING ACROSS THE PALMER DIVIDE BY LATE
THURSDAY AFTERNOON. THIS SURFACE BOUNDARY WILL LIKELY BE THE
FOCUSING MECHANISM THAT WILL BRING THE HEAVY RAIN THREAT TO THE
PLAINS LATE THU AFTERNOON INTO THU NIGHT. AT THIS TIME IT APPEARS
THE HEAVIEST RAINS WILL FALL ACROSS THE GREATER PIKES PEAK
REGION...ALTHOUGH ALL OF THE PLAINS AND S MTNS COULD SEE RAIN
CAPABLE OF CAUSING FLASH FLOODING.

IN ADDITION TO THE HIGH FLOOD THREAT...WE MAY SEE SOME SEVERE STORMS
LATE THU AFTERNOON OVER THE ENTIRE REGION AS SHEAR AND CAPE WILL BE
IN PLACE.

MODEL QPF VALUES ARE RATHER HIGH OVER THE REGION FROM LATE THU
AFTERNOON/THURSDAY NIGHT. SEVERAL INCHES IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION.

FOR NOW...I DREW UP HIGH SCATTERED/LIKELY POPS OVER THE PLAINS/S
MTNS. THESE VALUES WILL LIKELY BE BUMPED UP IN LATER FORECAST AS
THINGS GET MORE FOCUSED. HEAVY RAIN IS EXPLICITLY MENTIONED IN THE
NATIONAL DIGITAL FORECAST DATABASE GRIDS. FLOOD HIGHLIGHTS WILL
LIKELY BE NEEDED FOR LATE THU AFTERNOON/NIGHT.

THIS LOOKS LIKE A CLASSIC "TEXT BOOK" FLOOD SITUATION...ANTECEDENT
CONDITIONS ARE IN PLACE...PLENTY OF TROPICAL MOISTURE IS HEADED OUR
WAY...AND THE SFC BOUNDARY IS GOING TO ACT AS THE FOCUSING MECHANISM.

FRIDAY...

500 MB CIRCULATION WILL BE OVER THE CENTRAL PART OF THE STATE.
RAIN...POSSIBLY HEAVY...COULD STILL BE A THREAT ON THIS
DAY...ALTHOUGH INSTABILITY SHOULD BE LESS GIVEN ALL OF THE CLOUD
COVER AND COOLER AIR OVER THE REGION. FOCUSING FOR HEAVY RAIN WILL
ALSO BE LESS AS THE SFC BOUNDARY SHOULD BE WELL INTO NEW MEXICO BY
THIS TIME. ADDITIONALLY...WINDS THROUGHOUT THE ATMOSPHERIC COLUMN ARE
NOT ESPECIALLY STRONG AND UPSLOPE IS RELATIVELY WEAK.
NONETHELESS...MODEL PRECIPITATION FORECASTS ARE STILL HIGH ON
THIS DAY.

SATURDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...

WEAK FLOW WITH BROAD 500 MB TROUGHING IS FORECAST TO REMAIN OVER
THE REGION. THIS WILL KEEP A THREAT OF SHOWERS AND STORMS OVER THE
REGION...ESPECIALLY OVER THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS. \/HODANISH

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

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER AND NEAR THE HIGHER
TERRAIN THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING...WITH THE BEST COVERAGE OF
STORMS EXPECTED ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST MOUNTAINS. THE MAIN THREAT FROM
STORMS WILL BE LIGHTNING AND GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS UP TO 50 MPH.
OVERNIGHT...STORM COVERAGE WILL INCREASE ALONG THE CONTINENTAL
DIVIDE...WHERE SOME LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BECOME POSSIBLE OVER
THE EASTERN SAN JUAN MOUNTAINS TOWARD SUNRISE ON WEDNESDAY.

AREA CREEKS...STREAMS AND RIVERS WILL CONTINUE TO RUN HIGH AND FAST
DUE TO AMPLE MAY PRECIPITATION AND THE ADDITION OF LATE SEASON HIGH
ELEVATION SNOW MELT. FLOOD POTENTIAL WILL REMAIN HIGH...ESPECIALLY
ACROSS THE SAN LUIS VALLEY...AS WARMER TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TODAY
COULD LEAD TO HIGHER DIURNAL RISES IN MOUNTAIN STREAMS AND CREEKS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY

LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE MOUNTAINS WEDNESDAY
MORNING AND AFTERNOON. FLASH FLOODING WILL BE
POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY OVER THE BURN SCARS IN MINERAL COUNTY.

A MORE SERIOUS FLOODING CONCERN WILL DEVELOP OVER THE SOUTHERN
MOUNTAINS...THE I-25 CORRIDOR REGION AND THE EASTERN PLAINS FROM
LATE THURSDAY AFTERNOON...THURSDAY NIGHT AND INTO FRIDAY. THE
COMBINATION OF SATURATED GROUND...REMNANT MOISTURE FROM HURRICANE
BLANCA AND A COOL FRONT WILL ALLOW FOR HEAVY RAINS TO DEVELOP.
FLASH FLOODING AND RIVER FLOODING COULD OCCUR THURSDAY NIGHT INTO
FRIDAY. THE GREATEST CONCERN FOR FLOODING WILL BE ACROSS THE
GREATER PIKES PEAK REGION...ALTHOUGH ALL OF THE PLAINS AND
SOUTHERN MOUNTAINS COULD SEE FLOODING CONDITIONS DEVELOP.

AN UNSETTLED PATTERN WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN
COLORADO REGION THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED EACH AFTERNOON.
DANGEROUS LIGHTNING...LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN AND POSSIBLY A FEW
SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE.
