AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
1130 AM MDT WED JUL 15 2015

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 517 AM MDT WED JUL 15 2015

MOISTURE PLUME STILL SPREADING UP ACROSS THE REGION ALONG THE WEST
SIDE OF THE UPPER HIGH CENTERED ACROSS TX/OK.  SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY HAS LARGELY DIMINISHED ACROSS THE AREA.
EXCEPTION IS ACROSS SOUTHWEST CO AND THE SOUTHERN SANGRES WHERE
SHOWERS CONTINUE TO LIFT INTO SOUTHERN CO AHEAD OF WEAK FORCING WITH
A SERIES OF VORT MAXES EMBEDDED WITHIN THE MOISTURE PLUM.

IN SOME RESPECTS...WEATHER TODAY LOOKS FAIRLY SIMILAR TO
YESTERDAY...THOUGH LOOKS LIKE ATMOS MAY BE JUST A TAD
DRIER...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE SE MTS/I-25 CORRIDOR WHERE WEST TO
SOUTHWESTERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL HELP DEW POINTS DROP BACK INTO THE
40S AGAIN.  THIS WILL LIMIT CAPES AND KEEP STORM STRENGTHS IN
CHECK...THOUGH THERE WILL STILL BE A LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL THREAT
WITH THE ISOLATED STRONGER STORMS.  THINK COVERAGE WILL BE A LITTLE
LESS TODAY ACROSS THE SE MTS/I-25 CORRIDOR AS TIMING OF DISTURBANCES
AND AMOUNT OF FORCING LOOKS LESS JUXTAPOSED WITH MAX HEATING TODAY.
HOWEVER...WILL STILL HAVE TO WATCH FAR SOUTHEAST PLAINS AGAIN WHERE
SFC DEW POINTS WILL LIKELY STAY IN THE UPPER 50S...AND AFTERNOON
CAPES RUNNING AROUND 1000-1500 J/KG.  WITH LOW LEVEL FLOW MORE
SOUTHERLY TODAY THAN YESTERDAY...DEEP LAYER SHEARS SHOULD BE
LESS...BUT CAN'T RULE OUT AN ISOLATED STRONG TO NEAR SEVERE STORM
OUT NEAR THE BORDER.  HRRR...HIGH RES NMM...ARW...AND 4KM NAM ALL
DEVELOP CONVECTION ACROSS PORTIONS OF BACA AND PROWERS COUNTIES
ALONG THE SFC TROF AXIS THIS AFTERNOON. DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND
POSSIBLY SOME MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL WOULD BE THE PRIMARY STORM
THREATS. SPC HAS THIS AREA OUTLOOKED WITH A MARGINAL THREAT WHICH
LOOKS REASONABLE.

CONVECTION APPEARS TO END EARLIER TONIGHT AS MOISTURE PLUME OUT WEST
SHIFTS EASTWARD ALLOWING SOME DRYING TO START ENTERING WESTERN CO.
THIS SHOULD ALLOW LOW TEMPERATURES OUT WEST TO COOL A LITTLE MORE
TONIGHT THAN PREVIOUS FEW NIGHTS DUE TO LESS CLOUD COVER.  MINS OUT
EAST WILL PROBABLY BE PRETTY SIMILAR TO THIS MORNINGS VALUES. -KT

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 517 AM MDT WED JUL 15 2015

PRIMARY METEOROLOGICAL CONCERNS DURING THE LONGER TERM INCLUDE
TEMPERATURES AND INCREASING POPS(INCLUDING THE POTENTIAL FOR
LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN AS WELL AS STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE STORMS AT
TIMES)...ESPECIALLY FROM LATER THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

UPPER RIDGE IS PROJECTED TO REMAIN CENTERED OVER THE NORTHEASTERN
TEXAS/ARKANSAS REGION INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK ALLOWING DEEPER
ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE TO CONTINUE OVER MANY SECTIONS OF THE
FORECAST DISTRICT INTO AT LEAST EARLY NEXT WEEK.

ALSO...A RELATIVELY HEALTHY UPPER DISTURBANCE(BY MID JULY
STANDARDS) IS EXPECTED TO BE IMPACTING THE FORECAST DISTRICT FROM
LATER THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. IN ADDITION...NEXT NORTH
TO NORTHEASTERLY SURFACE SURGES ARE STILL PROJECTED TO MOVE INTO
EASTERN SECTIONS OF THE CWFA FROM SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK...ENHANCING PRECIPITATION ACTIVITY(INCLUDING THE POTENTIAL
FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AS WELL AS STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE
STORMS AT TIMES...FAVORING EASTERN LOCATIONS DURING THIS
TIME-FRAME).

FOR SENSIBLE WEATHER...EXPECT ISOLATED TO LOW GRADE SCATTERED POPS
FAVORING HIGHER TERRAIN AND WESTERN LOCATIONS FROM THURSDAY INTO
SATURDAY WITH MORE WIDESPREAD AND POTENTIALLY HEAVY PRECIPITATION
AS WELL AS STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE STORMS AT TIMES...DEVELOPING
FROM SUNDAY AFTERNOON INTO AT LEAST MONDAY NIGHT(ESPECIALLY OVER
EASTERN LOCATIONS).

OVERALL...MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM TEMPERATURES RUNNING NEAR TO ABOVE
MID JULY CLIMATOLOGICAL AVERAGES ARE ANTICIPATED OVER MANY
LOCATIONS FROM THURSDAY INTO SATURDAY NIGHT WITH COOLER CONDITIONS
DEVELOPING FROM LATER IN THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK...ESPECIALLY OVER EASTERN LOCATIONS.  INCREASING GRADIENT
WINDS ARE ALSO ANTICIPATED FROM MONDAY INTO TUESDAY...PRIMARILY
OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST DISTRICT.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1125 AM MDT WED JUL 15 2015

VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE AT TAF SITES TODAY AND TONIGHT.
