Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Pueblo CO
339 PM MDT TUE AUG 16 2016

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 244 PM MDT Tue Aug 16 2016

Currently...scattered showers and thunderstorms have developed over
the mountains this afternoon with activity spreading into the Palmer
Divide and Raton Mesa regions.  Locally moderate to heavy rainfall
are possible with these storms.  Temperatures are warm with upper 80s
to lower 90s across the region under southeasterly winds.

Through tonight...a large upper level ridge is forecast to remain
across the Desert Southwest, stretching north into Wyoming across
Colorado.  Under the ridge, a slow moving upper disturbance will
drift out of northeast Arizona and into western Colorado tonight.
Several vort maxes around the upper disturbance will lead to
continued shower and thunderstorms development across the mountains,
east into the I-25 corridor through this evening.  Models are
favoring the Palmer Divide and Raton Mesa regions through this
evening.  As for how far east shower and thunderstorms make it,
there is less certainty.  A few high-res model runs persist
convection a bit longer and further east than others through the 2
AM hour.  For now, have highest pops over the mountains, into the
Palmer Divide and Raton Mesa through this evening.  Activity further
east and its duration will likely depend highly on any outflow
boundaries that spread across the region. Weak shear and modest
instability across the region may allow for one or two storms to
become strong with lightning, heavy rainfall and half inch hail.

Wednesday...not much change expected in the upper pattern with the
upper ridge anchored across the region, while the embedded upper
disturbance drifts slowly into south central Colorado through the
day.  Moisture will be in place and energy around the disturbance is
forecast to kick off convection over the mountains by late in the
morning.  Most model solutions keep a majority of the thunderstorms
over the mountains, with some spread into the Palmer Divide region
heading into the evening.  Thunderstorm coverage will likely be
highly dependent on outflow boundaries and individual disturbances
rotating around the main upper system.  Locally heavy rainfall will
remain possible along with small hail, gusty outflow winds and
lightning.  Temperatures will remain warm with upper 80s to lower
90s across the region. Mozley

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 244 PM MDT Tue Aug 16 2016

Broad upper trough remains over the Great Basin Thu, while strong
short wave moves quickly eastward through srn Canada, pushing a surface
cold front into by nern CO Thu evening. Recycled moisture across
the region suggests another round of sct mainly mountain/high
terrain convection Thu, with lesser chance for storms lower
elevations. Front likely arrives too late to force much convection
on the plains Thu evening, though areas along the Palmer Divide
could see an increased chance of storms after sunset as front
moves through. Boundary will push through the entire area by Fri
morning, with weak upslope gradients and increasing low level
moisture over the eastern mountains and plains by afternoon. Thus
expect an increase in tsra chances over the eastern half of the
area Fri afternoon/evening, while farther west toward the
continental divide, convective chances diminish as W-NW mid level
flow brings some drier air into the region. Secondary cold front
then pushes south through the area late Fri night into Sat
morning, which may keep tsra chances going through the night,
especially over the plains along and north of the Arkansas River.

Post-frontal upslope will keep low level moisture in place over
the eastern mountains and plains Sat, which should lead to fairly
widespread showers by afternoon as lift from nrn plains upper
trough swings through the region. Usual questions still in place
regarding instability and resulting convective strength in fairly
cool post-frontal air mass, as clouds may limit tsra strength
somewhat, especially away from the mountains. Wouldn't be too
surprised to see much of Pikes Peak socked in under low clouds
and precip much of the day Sat (PP marathon and ascent is this
weekend), with even some graupel/snow possible near the summit as
700 mb temps fall to around 4C. Wrn mountains and interior valleys
may miss most of this precip, with only isolated tsra expected.
Rain could linger into Sun morning, especially ern plains, as
tail end of upper jet brushes by the area.

Convection should become more isolated Sun/Mon as air mass dries
slightly and upper trough shifts east, though still enough
moisture around for storms over mainly the eastern mountains,
especially Sun. Weak monsoon then begins to redevelop Tue, with
convection returning to most mountains and high valleys in the
afternoon.

After one more very warm day Thu, max temps will fall across most
of the region Fri behind initial cold front, with more substantial
cooling Sat/Sun as secondary front moves through and 700 mb temps
fall. Slow warming trend the develops for early next week.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Wednesday evening)
Issued at 244 PM MDT Tue Aug 16 2016

KALS...VFR conditions expected through the next 24 hours. Showers
and thunderstorms are forecast through this evening over the
mountains, which will likely spread into the San Luis Valley and may
impact the terminal with brief periods of reduced CIGS and VIS. Once
thunderstorms dissipate, VFR conditions are expected overnight.
Another round of thunderstorms are possible on Wednesday afternoon.

KCOS...VFR conditions expected through the period. Showers and
thunderstorms are expected through this evening, primarily in the
02z/Wed time frame. Reduced CIGS, VIS and gusty outflow winds to
near 30 kts are possible with thunderstorms in and around the
terminal. Expect activity to dissipate this evening with VFR
conditions overnight into Wednesday.  Another round of afternoon and
evening thunderstorms are possible on Wednesday.

KPUB...VFR conditions for the next 24 hours. Showers and
thunderstorms are possible through this evening. Gusty outflow winds
will be the main threat from thunderstorms. VFR conditions are
expected overnight into Wednesday.  Another round of showers and
thunderstorms is expected on Wednesday afternoon and evening.  Mozley

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

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING, INITIALLY OVER THE MOUNTAINS, AND SPREAD EAST INTO
THE INTERSTATE 25 CORRIDOR THIS EVENING. THE STRONGEST STORMS WILL
BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING MODERATE TO LOCALLY MODERATE TO HEAVY
RAINFALL, HAIL AROUND 1/2 INCH IN DIAMETER, GUSTY WINDS AROUND 45
MPH AND HAZARDOUS LIGHTNING. IF HEAVY RAINFALL OCCURS ON AREA BURN
SCARS, IT COULD PRODUCE LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY

THERE WILL BE DAILY CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS, WITH THE BEST
CHANCES BEING OVER AND NEAR THE MOUNTAIN AREAS. HOWEVER, THIS
WEEKEND THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS WILL SEE INCREASED MOISTURE AND A
BETTER CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS. THE MAIN THREATS WITH STORMS WILL
BE LIGHTNING AND WIND GUSTS UP TO 50 MPH, HOWEVER SOME OF THE
STRONGER STORMS WILL ALSO BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING SMALL HAIL AND
LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN.

COOLER AIR WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA FOR THE WEEKEND, AND THERE WILL
BE THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME LIGHT SNOW OVER THE HIGHER MOUNTAIN
PEAKS.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

WEATHER CONDITIONS THAT MEET REPORTING CRITERIA FOR SPOTTERS WILL BE
POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING ACROSS THE MAJORITY OF SOUTHERN
COLORADO.
