.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 405 AM MDT Mon Jun 13 2016

...Severe storms likely on the plains today...

Upper trough over the Great Basin this morning will lift eastward
through the central Rockies today and tonight, providing large scale
upward vertical motion and aiding in convective development across
southern Colorado into this evening. At the surface, stationary
front across nern NM and the TX panhandle this morning will begin to
lift northward into Colorado as low pressure gradually spins up
around La Junta by midday. By afternoon, front will lie roughly
along the Arkansas R/Highway 50 corridor, with axis of very unstable
air along and north of the boundary as east winds keep mid 50 to low
60s dewpoints in place. Combination of high CAPE (2000 plus j/kg)
and 0-6km shear of 40-50 kts suggests supercells are possible, with
threat of strong winds and very large hail, and even a couple
tornadoes, especially in the area from Pueblo/El Paso counties
eastward to the KS border. In fact, last few runs of the HRRR
suggest one or two supercells developing across ern Fremont County
19z-20z...then spreading eastward over Pueblo/El Paso counties 20z-
22z. Convection will then shift eastward across the plains this
evening, with storms ending most locations by 06z as MCS shifts into
wrn KS. Overall, everyone over the eastern mountains and southeast
plains should pay close attention to the weather today, as severe
weather watches and warnings will be possible beginning around
midday.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Sunday)
Issued at 405 AM MDT Mon Jun 13 2016

The upper level trof moves out of eastern Colorado Tuesday and
into the plains Tuesday night. By Wednesday, the upper level ridge
builds over eastern Colorado. Latest model runs show ridge axis over
the central plains with a few weak impulses moving across southern
Colorado on the southwest flow aloft. The upper level high becomes
the dominant weather feature through at least Sunday. GFS shows a
trof moving through the northern Rockies Saturday into Sunday which
would cause the ridge to flatten slightly and may allow for a slight
chance of showers and thunderstorms and maybe slightly cooler
temperatures, but the ECMWF keeps the trof father north in Canada.
This solution would keep the hot and dry conditions going right
through the weekend.

At the surface, much drier air moves into southern Colorado on
Tuesday, with just a few showers or thunderstorms expected over the
higher elevations. The airmass remains very dry Wednesday and
Thursday, so not expecting any showers or thunderstorms with weak
upper level disturbances moving through the flow. Temperatures warm
into the 90s to around 100 and remain that warm into the weekend.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday afternoon)
Issued at 1114 AM MDT Mon Jun 13 2016

Strong thunderstorms will be possible across kcos and kpub this
afternoon. Strong winds and large hail may occur with the
strongest storms. Additional weaker storms may affect the kcos
region this evening. VFR conditions will prevail during the rest
of the time period.

Kals should see primarily vfr conditions...although a weak tsra
may affect the taf site this afternoon.
