.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 210 PM MDT FRI MAY 8 2015

CURRENTLY...SIGNIFICANT INSTABILITY HAS DEVELOPED ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN I-25 CORRIDOR WHERE STRATUS CLEARED EARLY...WITH LAPS
CAPES RUNNING OVER 2000 J/KG. 0-6KM SHEAR SUFFICIENT FOR ROTATING
CONVECTION...WITH 2 PERSISTENT SUPERCELLS SOUTH OF PUEBLO AS OF
2130Z. STRONGEST CONVECTION NEXT 1-3 HOURS WILL LIKELY BE ACROSS
PUEBLO/LAS ANIMAS/CROWLEY/OTERO COUNTIES WHERE INSTABILITY IS
GREATEST...WITH HRRR KEEPING STRONG CONVECTION GOING OVER
SOUTHEAST PUEBLO COUNTY WELL INTO THE EVENING. FARTHER NORTH
AROUND COLORADO SPRINGS...CLOUDS AND EARLY MORNING CONVECTION HAVE
HELD DOWN INSTABILITY SOMEWHAT....THOUGH STORMS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO
PRODUCE VOLUMINOUS SMALL HAIL ONCE AGAIN. MOUNTAINS WILL SEE ONLY
ISOLATED STORMS...AND FAR EASTERN PLAINS NEAR THE KS BORDER LOOK
TOO STABLE FOR MUCH DEEP CONVECTION...AT LEAST INTO THE EARLY EVENING.

TONIGHT...CONVECTION ALONG I-25 CORRIDOR WILL CONTINUE PAST
SUNSET...WITH WEAKENING STORMS SHIFTING TOWARD THE KS BORDER
BY MIDNIGHT. SEVERE THREAT WILL CONTINUE SOUTHERN I-25
CORRIDOR...WITH TORNADO WATCH UNTIL 03Z LOOKING REASONABLE. MAY
SEE SOME SORT OF MCS LIFT OUT OF THE TX PANH SAT MORNING....AND
WILL INCREASE POPS OVER THE PLAINS TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS
POSSIBILITY. LIFT INCREASES OVER CONTINENTAL DIVIDE AS UPPER LOW
APPROACHES...WITH AT LEAST SOME LIGHT SNOW OVER THE HIGHER PEAKS
BY MORNING.

SATURDAY...STILL NOT A CLEAR CUT SOLUTION REGARDING POSITION OF
SURFACE LOW AND HOW FAR WEST LOW LEVEL MOISTURE/INSTABILITY WILL
REMAIN IN THE AFTERNOON. GFS/ECMWF LIFT SURFACE LOW AND WARM FRONT
NORTH OF THE PALMER DIVIDE BY AFTERNOON WITH DRYLINE PUNCHING INTO
KS BY SAT EVENING. LAST COUPLE RUNS OF THE NAM KEEP THE SURFACE
LOW SOUTH OF KLHX UNTIL EARLY EVENING...WHICH KEEPS SURFACE AXIS
OF DEEP INSTABILITY/MOISTURE FARTHER WEST AND ALLOWS AT LEAST
SOME MODERATELY UNSTABLE AIR TO WRAP BACK INTO PUEBLO/EL PASO
COUNTIES LATE. WILL LEAN TOWARD THE HIGHER TERRAIN RESOLUTION NAM
AT THIS POINT AS CLIMATOLOGY SUPPORTS ITS SURFACE LOW POSITION
NEAR KLHX...AND POSSIBLE EARLY MORNING CONVECTION ALONG THE KS
BORDER MAY PUSH MOIST AIR WESTWARD FOR A TIME SAT MORNING. IF
MOISTURE HOLDS IN PLACE...MASSIVE SHEAR (0-6KM SHEAR 60-70 KTS)
WILL LEAD TO SEVERE STORMS OVER THE FAR EASTERN PLAINS WITH EVEN
SOME STRONGER STORMS POSSIBLE BACK TOWARD PUEBLO AND COLORADO
SPRINGS AS STRONG LIFT WRAPS BACK AROUND THE UPPER LOW.
OVERALL...WILL KEEP POPS IN PLACE ALL DAY OVER THE FAR EASTERN
PLAINS...WITH CONVECTION POSSIBLE EARLY IN THE MORNING AND A
SECOND ROUND OF STORMS IN THE AFTERNOON. EASTERN MOUNTAINS/I-25
CORRIDOR WILL SEE A DRY PERIOD THROUGH THE MORNING AS WLY
DOWNSLOPE INCREASES...THEN AN INCREASING CHANCE OF PRECIP BY
AFTERNOON AS LOW LIFTS OUT AND STRONGER LIFT DEVELOPS UNDER THE
TROWAL. REMAINING MOUNTAINS AND VALLEYS WILL SEE SCT TSRA...WITH
HEAVY SNOW OVER THE HIGHER PEAKS. KEPT WINTER STORM WATCH IN PLACE
FOR CENTRAL MOUNTAINS SAT...AND HOISTED A NEW WATCH FOR THE SUMMIT
OF PIKES PEAK WHERE 1 TO 2 FEET OF NEW SNOW LOOKS POSSIBLE.

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 210 PM MDT FRI MAY 8 2015

...ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN IN PLACE OVER THE WEEKEND...

SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...MODELS INDICATE THAT THE UPPER LOW
WILL BE LOCATED OVER SOUTH-CENTRAL CO SAT EVENING...AND WILL QUICKLY
EJECT TO THE NE TO NEBRASKA SUN MORNING...THEN SOUTH DAKOTA SUN
NIGHT. ACTIVITY SHOULD BE SLIGHTLY SUBDUED ACROSS THE SE PLAINS SAT
NIGHT AS THE LOW MOVES NE...BUT WRAPAROUND WILL START AFFECTING THE
PALMER DVD AND RAMPART RANGE. CATEGORICAL SHOWERS ARE FORECAST OVER
MONUMENT HILL SAT EVE...WITH DROPPING TEMPS SWITCHING THE PCPN OVER
TO SNOW OVERNIGHT. UP TO 2 INCHES OF NEW SNOW WILL BE POSSIBLE FOR
MONUMENT HILL BY SUN MORNING...BUT HIGHER AMOUNTS WILL BE POSSIBLE
FOR TELLER COUNTY AND ESPECIALLY PIKES PEAK SO THE PEAK HAS BEEN
INCLUDED IN THE WINTER STORM WATCH. AS THE SYSTEM CONTINUES PULLING
AWAY LATE SUN...SHOWER AND STORM ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO DIMINISH.
LOOK FOR MAX TEMPS IN THE 50S TO AROUND 60F FOR MOST AREAS ON
SUN...WITH OVERNIGHT MIN TEMPS IN THE LOWER TO MID 30S.

MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...TEMPORARY RIDGING OVER THE STATE MON WILL
GIVE WAY TO A SW FLOW ALOFT ON TUE. RESIDUAL MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO
SPARK MORE SHOWER AND STORM ACTIVITY MON AFTN AND EVE...THEN AS THE
SW FLOW SETTLES IN FOR TUE A PLUME OF GULF MOISTURE WILL BE DRAWN UP
ACROSS NM AND INTO COLORADO. THE BEST WINDOW FOR STORM ACTIVITY WILL
OCCUR TUE AND WED...WITH THE EMPHASIS ON TUE. STORMS WILL INITIATE
OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN BOTH DAYS BY LATE MORNING...THEN TRACK E-NE
OVER THE ADJACENT PLAINS THROUGH THE AFTN AND EVE. LOOK FOR MAX
TEMPS TO WARM MON THROUGH WED WITH 60S ON MON TO MID TO UPPER 70S BY
WED.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...SW FLOW ALOFT REMAINS IN PLACE THROUGH THE
REST OF THE WORK WEEK...WITH MAX TEMPS IN THE 70S CONTINUING. THE
PLUME OF GULF MOISTURE IS FORECAST TO SLIDE TO THE EAST OUT OF THE
REGION...SO STORM ACTIVITY WILL BECOME MORE ISOLATED AND DIURNAL IN
NATURE AND TIED MORE TO THE HIGHER TERRAIN. MOORE

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SATURDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1104 PM MDT FRI MAY 8 2015

A MAJOR SPRING STORM WILL APPROACH THE FOUR CORNERS REGION TONIGHT
AND THEN MOVE THROUGH SE CO ON SATURDAY. THIS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
WILL BRING SIGNIFICANT WEATHER TO THE AREA...ESPECIALLY OVER THE
MOUNTAINS AND EASTERN PLAINS. THE SAN LUIS VALLEY WILL BE SOMEWHAT
SHELTERED BUT COULD STILL SEE OCCASIONAL RA-SN OR TS. STRONG
UPSLOPE FLOW OVER THE PLAINS WILL LEAD TO CONTINUED LIFR-MVFR FOR
THE KCOS AND KPUB TERMINALS AND SURROUNDING AREAS. LIFR-IFR WILL
BE MOST LIKELY IN THE 09Z-15Z TIME PERIOD BUT COULD OCCUR IN
PERIODS THROUGH THE TAF CYCLE. ROUNDS OF PRECIP INCLUDING TSRA
WILL BE LIKELY THROUGH THE DAY ON SATURDAY. TS COULD PRODUCE
SIGNIFICANT HAIL AND/OR GRAUPEL IN ADDITION TO STRONG WINDS AND
HEAVY RAIN. SIGNIFICANT SVR WEATHER WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER THE FAR
ERN PLAINS...NR THE KS BORDER...INCLUDING TORNADOES. AS THIS
SYSTEM MOVES TO OUR NE LATE SATURDAY...A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL
DROP SNOW LEVELS BELOW 6000 FEET BY SUN MORNING. ACCUMULATING SNOW
WILL BE POSSIBLE AT KCOS AFTER 06Z SUN THROUGH AROUND 18Z
SUN...THOUGH AT THIS TIME IT DOES NOT LOOK SIGNIFICANT AND THE
GREATER THREAT WILL CONTINUE TO BE SIGNIFICANT HAIL AND TB. THE
NEXT 36 HOURS OR SO WILL BE VERY HAZARDOUS OVER THE AREA FOR
GENERAL AVIATION. ROSE
