Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Pueblo CO
1144 AM MDT SUN SEP 4 2016

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 423 AM MDT Sun Sep 4 2016

One shortwave is currently lifting out across northwest CO...kicking
off showers and thunderstorms along the contdvd at this early hour.
Next upper trof across southern NV will be lifting rapidly across
the forecast area during the afternoon.  Drier air has worked in
over much of CO except for the far southeast plains where dew points
are still in the upper 50s/lower 60s as of 3 AM.  Meanwhile...there
is still a pocket of moisture evident in WV loops across southwest
CO. As this latter shortwave trof approaches southwest CO this
morning...expect an early start to convective initiation along the
continental divide...with thunderstorms developing by late morning.
These will be spreading northeastward through the afternoon...though
with deep southwesterly downslope flow over the region...system will
have less moisture to work with as it cross the southeast mountains
into the I-25 corridor.  By late afternoon...sfc trof axis will
likely lie along a line from Eads to Kim...and could see a few
thunderstorms develop along/east of this line during the late
afternoon/early evening.  CAPE values rapidly increase towards the
KS border and position of the drier air along/west of the trof axis
will determine how much CAPE will be available in SE CO.  NAM12
keeps values in the 500-1000 J/kg range...while GFS and hrrr look
drier with values generally under 500 J/kg.  Deep layer shears will
be running around 40 kts...so if we can maintain enough low level
moisture/CAPE...then a strong to near severe storm or two will be
across the far southeast plains.  However...threat appears greatest
to the east and northeast of the area.  Gusty southwest winds will
spread over all of the area by this afternoon and this should help
warm temperatures to values similar to a couple degrees warmer than
yesterday.  This will result in well above normal high temperatures
for this time of year...particularly for the southeast plains where
mid to upper 90s will be possible.

Tonight...thunderstorms will be done across the mountains by early
evening as drier air sweeps in behind the shortwave.  Isolated
thunderstorms will be possible through the early evening hours
across the far southeast plains before activity shifts eastward and
out of the area.  Lows tonight should stay on the mild side where
downslope winds continue into the lee trof overnight.  Valley areas
in the mountains could be on the cool side given lower dew
points...clear skies and decoupling winds. -KT

.LONG TERM...(Monday through Saturday)
Issued at 423 AM MDT Sun Sep 4 2016

.Monday...First disturbance moves from the Great Basin into the
northern Rockies. A southwest to northeast surface trough develops
over the southeast plains of Colorado. Southerly surface flow
ahead of the trough will bring low level moisture northward. GFS
has over 1000 J/kg of CAPE along the trough while NAM is closer to
2000 J/kg. Bulk shears are around 30 to 40 knots. SPC has a
marginal risk extending into eastern Colorado, for locations near
the surface trough, stressing the potential for large hail and
damaging winds. Further west, some monsoon moisture will start
moving northward into Colorado, and it may reach the southern
portions of the mountains by Monday evening.

.Tuesday...Second disturbance moves northeast from the Great
Basin into the northern Rockies. Monsoon moisture will be more
abundant on Tuesday with increased chances for convection over the
mountains, and the greatest chances will be near the New Mexico
border. Further east, a southwest to northeast oriented surface
trough may extend across portions of the southeast plains of
Colorado. This trough could act as a focus for storm development,
and SPC has a marginal risk for portions of the southeast plains
of Colorado.

.Wedensday through Saturday...Flow aloft becomes westerly on
Wednesday bringing dry air aloft into the region with grids only
having silent PoPs. Airmass remains mild with temperatures at or
above seasonal normals. Flow becomes northwesterly later in the
weak with a possible cold frontal passage Friday or Saturday. The
colder air aloft stays to the north of the CWA, and frontal passage
should bring modest cooling to the plains and eastern mountains.
Airmass remains dry with only isolated convection over the
mountains by the end of the week. --PGW--

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon)
Issued at 1118 AM MDT Sun Sep 4 2016

Isolated showers/tstms will be possible across much of south
central and southeast CO into late afternoon. South to southwest
winds gusting to 20-30 mph can be expected into the early evening
hours.  VFR conditions are forecast thru the next 24 hours.
