Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Pueblo CO
255 PM MDT WED SEP 14 2016

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday)
Issued at 255 PM MDT Wed Sep 14 2016

Currently...

A few strong storms were occurring across the region at 130 pm. Most
of the activity was in eastern Pueblo county and moving east.
Elsewhere there were quite a few more weaker storms across the
region...mainly over the higher trrn and the Raton Mesa.

This activity was being driven by a large 500 mb low which was
spinning over SE Idaho.

Rest of this afternoon into tonight...

Thunderstorms...one or two severe...will be possible across the
plains. It is not out of the question we could also get a marginally
severe storms over the valleys and higher terrain. CAPE values
generally south of US50 were pushing 2000 J/kg and effective shear
was in the 20-30kt range. The threat of strong to locally svr storms
will last into early to mid evening...but the brunt of the
activity should move out of the state by late evening.

Thursday...

Upper low will move east-northeast and slowly fill. Strong
southwesterly flow will continue over the region, and this will
advect drier air into the region. Mountains tomorrow will likely
remain dry along with most of the plains. The best chance of storms
tomorrow will be over the far southeast plains.

With the southwest flow over the region, temps will warm up into the
mid 80s across a good chunk of the plains...with slightly cooler
temps over the divides. Expect temps in the 70s across the valleys.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 255 PM MDT Wed Sep 14 2016

Primary longer term meteorological concerns are pops and
temperatures.

Recent longer range PV analysis...forecast model soundings and
computer simulations indicate that a generally southwesterly to
zonal upper flow pattern will prevail over the forecast district
during the longer term.

At the surface...northerly surges are expected to move across
eastern portions of the CWA Thursday night and then again by next
Wednesday.

The combination of adequate atmospheric moisture and upper
disturbances should allow isolated to scattered pops to continue
at times into Saturday night with a drying trend then anticipated
from Sunday into Tuesday morning before next system increases
precipitation potential from later Tuesday into next Wednesday.

Overall, maximum temperatures running near to below mid-September
climatological averages should be noted Friday and Saturday with
above seasonal maximum temperatures then returning from Sunday
into Tuesday. In addition...minimum temperatures generally running
above mid-September climatological averages are anticipated into
next Wednesday.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Thursday evening)
Issued at 255 PM MDT Wed Sep 14 2016

VFR conditions are anticipated during the next 24h at all 3 taf
sites, kpub, kals and kcos. We will see a chance of thunderstorms at
each taf site the rest of this afternoon and early evening.
Brief mvfr conditions will be possible with any storms along with
gusty outflow winds. Dry conditions are anticipated tomorrow
afternoon across the region.

.PUB Watches/Warnings/Advisories...
