.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday)
Issued at 327 PM MDT Fri Jul 8 2016

...Active evening then quieter Saturday...

Shortwave will move onto the plains and interact with deep surface
moisture next several hours. Likely to see increased convection
over the Palmer Divide...organizing and tracking southeast across
the plains through the evening. Also...more discrete convection
likely elsewhere along and east of the mountains. Primary threats
will include large hail to golf ball size...winds around 70
mph...heavy rain...flooding and lightning with a small chance of
an isolated tornado.

Warmer and drier Saturday with much more isolated activity.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Friday)
Issued at 327 PM MDT Fri Jul 8 2016

Not many adjustments required from previous meteorological
thinking with primary longer term issues being temperatures,
pops, the potential for strong to possibly severe thunderstorms
at times into Saturday evening and then again by next Thursday as
well as elevated fire weather concerns at times.

Latest longer range forecast model soundings. PV analysis and
computer simulations indicate that upper disturbances will
continue to interact with adequate atmospheric moisture into
Saturday night...capable of producing isolated to scattered
showers and thunderstorms...strong to possibly severe at times as
projected Saturday evening localized capes, LI's and deep layer
shear values challenge 2000 J/KG...-6C and 45 knots at times.
WFO Pueblo will continue to monitor closely.

It still appears that a return to generally drier conditions
should be experienced across the forecast district from Sunday
into at least mid-week thanks to drier southwesterly to zonal
upper flow. In addition, it still appears that the highest
potential for elevated fire weather concerns should be noted from
Sunday into Tuesday, with Monday expected to have the highest
potential of more widespread near critical to critical fire
weather conditions at times. Then a return to more unsettled
conditions is projected by next Thursday and Friday as next
system impacts the forecast district.

Finally, maximum and minimum temperatures should continue to run
near or above early July climatological averages during the
longer term in combination with gusty gradient winds from later
Sunday into Monday.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Saturday evening)
Issued at 327 PM MDT Fri Jul 8 2016

Forecast remains on track. Another round of evening storms expected
across the flight area, primarily affecting the Palmer Divide
region, eastern mountains and plains. Main threats are large hail,
strong winds, heavy rain, lightning. Most activity should be east of
flight area after midnight. Tomorrow is showing warming and drying
with much more isolated activity than today. MVFR/IFR/LIFR
conditions possible in storms. KCOS...KPUB and KALS sites could all
see storms generally 20Z-02z.
