.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday)
Issued at 256 PM MDT Sun Jun 12 2016

...PACIFIC WEATHER SYSTEM TO BRING ACTIVE WX TO REGION DURING THE
NEXT 24H...

CURRENTLY...

Wat vap imgy shows a well defined closed low off the s Calif coast.
In advance of this trough a considerable amount of moisture was
noted associated with a moisture plume extending n-s over a good
part of colorado. At the sfc...a cool front was noted from the
Dakotas extending into E CO. A sfc low was noted over the La Junta
area.

Radar at 2 pm this afternoon was showing a line of showers and
storms along the front across far ne CO extending down to just east
of LIC. Dwpts over the plains were in the 50s along the I-25
corridor to 60s over the far e Plains.

Rest of today into tonight...

Main concern during this period is locally heavy rain developing
over the far eastern sections of the se plains...especially the
Kiowa county region. HRRR has been pretty adamant at developing
heavy rain this region. However...this guidance seems to be too far
south with it solutions given what has been occurring the last
couple of hours. Still believe we will see some heavy rain work its
way south...but confidence on how far south is not all that high
attm. I have input areas of heavy rain in the NDFD for the greater
Kiowa county region to account for the potential of heavy rain. For
now I have held off issuing at flash flood watch as antecedent
conditions are not favorable for flash flooding over the far eastern
plains.

Additionally...can't rule out some marginal severe thunderstorm
activity over aforementioned region  as convection will likely
develop vicinity of the sfc low and will initiate during prime
heating. Its not out of the question that a weak tornado could
develop given the low LCLs and locally favored backed winds in this
region.

Guidance shows another area of precip developing late this afternoon
and evening over the Pikes Peak (PP) region. A more enhanced area of
showers and tsra are expected to develop  over the higher trrn of
the PP region around 6 pm-ish and move east-northeast....with some
of this precip building southward as the evening progresses. The
WALDO BURN SCAR will have to be watched closely as precipitable
water values are above normal over a good part of the State.

Later tonight precip will wane over the region...but some lingering
showers will be possible into the early morning hours over parts of
the plains.

Tomorrow...

Severe thunderstorms are a good bet. All the ingredients for
rotating storms will be in place. Attm...the best chance of severe
activity will generally be north and east of a line from KCOS...to
KLHX to KSPD. A sfc low will be located over the Raton Mesa tomorrow
morning and is fcst to move e-ne with time. This will place a good
part of the plains in a favorable shear environment for rotating
convection...especially Kiowa county. If the sfc low remains farther
south the projected...than all of the plains may have a chance for
severe storms tomorrow...this will be especially true if an outflow
boundary from tonight's convection can make it all the way back to
the mtns.

Given the favorable environment...all types of severe convective
weather will be possible tomorrow afternoon. the probability of a
tornado watch being issued for parts or all of the plains is
relatively high.

Locally heavy rain will also be possible for tomorrow...although
storms should be moving at a decent clip by tomorrow afternoon.
Also...if an outflow boundary does make it all the way back to the
mtns...it will likely delay the onset of convective initiation over
the region tomorrow afternoon. \/Hodanish

.LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday)
Issued at 256 PM MDT Sun Jun 12 2016

Monday night through Tuesday...The upper trough is forecast to move
east out of the Great Basin and across the Rockies Monday night,
then continue into NE and the Dakotas on Tue. W to NW flow aloft
will then settle in across the CWA for the remainder of Tue.

Therefore, strong to severe storms that develop across the area Mon
aftn are expected to linger across the e plains through about 9 or
10 pm. Then as the upper trough passes to the east, dry W-NW flow
sweeps in and convection should rapidly diminish overnight. Decided
to maintain isolated pops over the mts and portions of the I-25
corridor Tue aftn due to residual llvl moisture, but otherwise Tue
eve is expected to be dry.

Wednesday through Sunday...long range models are indicating that the
upper ridge builds back in with full force, producing an extended
period of hot and dry conditions. Temps each day will climb into the
80s for the high valleys, and 90s for the plains. The hottest days
at this point look to be Thu through Sat, with max temps around 100
F for the plains. Models kept pops nil, so decided to lean towards
that as well, but with so much heating on tap an isolated
thunderstorm over the peaks is certainly not out of the question.

Overall...expect VFR conditions next 24h at all 3 taf
sites...kpub...kals and kcos. Thunderstorms will be possible this
afternoon/evening and tomorrow afternoon at each TAF site...but
inclement conditions should be relatively brief. With that
said...some of  the storms could be strong at kcos and
kpub...especially tomorrow...with strong winds and hail.
