Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Pueblo CO
237 PM MDT SAT SEP 3 2016

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday)
Issued at 220 PM MDT Sat Sep 3 2016

This early afternoon some isold showers and thunderstorms had
developed from around the I-25 corridor and Palmer Dvd and westward.
A weak disturbance wl continue moving through east central and
northeast CO this afternoon and evening.  Although there wl be the
possibility of isold storms ovr much of the area this evening, the
best chances wl be ovr northern portions of the forecast area, from
the central CO mtns, acrs Teller and El Paso counties and eastward.
Radar at 140 pm was showing a line of convection from north of Limon
to northeast El Paso county. The HRRR continues to show a line of
convection ovr northeast and east central CO this afternoon and
early this evening, then moving into northwest KS. This line of
convection may brush Kiowa county and could bring some heavy rain.
The latest meso analysis is showing 2000+ J/kg of CAPE ovr east
central CO and ovr the far sern corner of CO. The NAM forecast for
late this afternoon/early this evening has 0-6 km bulk shear values
of 40-50 kts ovr Kiowa county. If the convection does moves thru the
far eastern portions of the sern plains, there will be the
possibility of some severe weather, with large hail and damaging
winds being the main threats.

By late evening chances for thunderstorms will mostly end, however
locations near the KS border may see some lingering convection until
around midnight, and there could be some isolated showers or tstms
thru the night and into Sun morning along the Continental Divide.

Drier conditions are then expected on Sun, with little chance for
pcpn, but there could be a few shower/storms ovr the hyr trrn.  With
an upper level trof being ovr the western U.S., the flow aloft ovr
the area will be southwesterly.  At the surface, breezy south to
southwest winds can be expected, especially in the afternoon and
early evening hours.  High temps on Sun are expected to be a little
above average acrs the southeast plains, and around average in the
high valleys.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Saturday)
Issued at 220 PM MDT Sat Sep 3 2016

...Dry and warm week ahead...

A trough will slowly progress eastward this coming week, moving
from the great basin early on Monday to the Rockies by mid-week,
then on to the Mississippi Valley late in the week. This will
bring and extended period of dry and very warm weather.
Temperatures during this time will run from 5 to 10 degrees above
average over the Plains. Will see highs in the lower 90s for the
first half of the week as southwesterly flow persists over our
area. On Monday and Tuesday, some moisture will be drawn up from
the south as southerly flow increases over our area. This will
bring a slight chance of convection, mainly over southern portions
of our CWA. A couple of storms out over the Plains could be on the
strong to severe side given the increased winds aloft and
corresponding increase in bulk shears. Tuesday afternoon-eve looks
like the best bet for any svr at this time.

By the latter part of the week, the upper low will eject
northeastward into E Canada and SW flow will transition to
Westerly and finally Northwesterly by next week's end, and this
will tend to bring continued breezy, warm, and dry conditions to
our area. It probably wont be until late next weekend or early the
following week that we see a return of any significant moisture.
