.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday)
Issued at 333 PM MDT Thu Aug 10 2017

...Active Evening Ahead with Severe Storms Possible on the Plains...

Boundary evident in satellite pictures this afternoon advancing
steadily south and westward toward the Palmer Divide.  A weak
boundary has already formed along the Palmer Divide in response to
normal upslope diurnal processes on each side of the divide.  The
bigger, more operative boundary will merge with it over the next
couple hours.  First round of convection associated with incoming
shortwave has fired over the mountains and is now working east onto
the plains.  Storms will gradually increase in intensity through the
afternoon, becoming strong to severe over the Pikes Peak Region by
late in the day.  From there, the severe potential will progress
southeastward across the plains through the evening following the
boundary.  Storms are moving right along this afternoon.  That is an
indication of the stronger winds aloft.  As the lower level winds
crank up from the east through the afternoon, behind the boundary,
shear values will increase to around at 50 knots.  This will
increase the potential for supercell storm development through the
evening. Most storms will be capable of locally heavy rain, wind
gusts to 50 mph, pea size hail and lightning.  However, the larger,
more organized, persistent supercells that develop will be capable
of hail an inch or more in diameter, wind gusts to 60 mph or more
and possibly even a tornado.  There is also a flash flood threat
this evening. The Hayden Pass scar probably has the lowest chance of
getting hit tonight.  High res models do not really have anything
too intense moving across the scar.  The Junkins scar may not get
hit much at first, but as the boundary backs into the mountains
later this evening, something more intense and long lasting could
develop.  Hi res models suggest this with late convective
development in the vicinity of the scar. The Waldo probably has the
greatest odds of getting hit this evening. This is where the models
suggest the most persistent and possibly recurring storm
development. Luckily, the Waldo is the most resilient of the 3
scars, having had both significant regrowth and mitigation. Another
area of flash flood concern will be out east across the plains.
There could be the local threat from supercells first. Then, later
in the evening, the more widespread and persistent flash flood
threat will start to materialize as convection merges into a complex
somewhere along the Kansas border.

.LONG TERM...(Friday night through Thursday)
Issued at 333 PM MDT Thu Aug 10 2017

Will keep this brief due to ongoing active conditions. Primary
longer term meteorological issues include strong to marginally
severe storms at times(primarily into early next week), heavy
rain/localized flash flood potential, pops and temperatures

Recent longer range forecast model soundings, computer simulations
and PV analysis suggest that a relatively moist airmass will continue
over many portions of the forecast district into early next week
with some drying and warming then anticipated by later next week.

Projected capes/LI's and 0-6km bulk shears values in the 1000+
J/KG, -5C and 40+ knots ranges respectively at times are expected
at times into Monday(favoring eastern sections), which will allow
for the potential of strong to possibly severe storms at times
during this time-frame.

In addition, storms capable of producing heavy precipitation(including
localized flash flooding potential at times) are also anticipated
into at least late this weekend/early this week. As always, WFO
Pueblo will issue hydro/severe products as needed.

Finally, maximum temperatures generally running near to below
mid-August climatological averages are anticipated into Monday,
with maximum temperatures then running near to above mid-August
climatological averages expected from Tuesday into next Thursday.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday evening)
Issued at 333 PM MDT Thu Aug 10 2017

Scattered thunderstorms will spread south and eastward across the
plains through this evening as a boundary moves south through the
region. Severe storm potential will be higher this evening than last
due to the boundary and increased wind shear. Most storms will carry
a risk of locally heavy rain, wind gusts to around 50 mph, pea size
hail and lightning. However, from the Pikes Peak Region southeast
across the plains, there will also be a risk of severe supercell
storms producing large hail to an inch or more in diameter, wind
gusts to 60 mph or more and possibly a tornado. The most likely
period for severe storm development will start late this afternoon
over the Pikes Peak Region and then carry southeast across the
plains through the evening hours. MVFR, IFR and LIFR conditions can
be expected in areas of precipitation. The KCOS, KPUB and KALS TAF
sites could all see storms this evening, primarily until around 02
UTC. However, recent high res model runs are showing some additional
storm development possible during the late evening hours at KCOS and
KPUB, between about 4 and 7 UTC.

This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of central...east
central...south central and southeast Colorado.

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

Isolated storms will be developing over the mountains and Pikes
Peak Region early this afternoon. Then, late in the day through
the evening, the storms will spread south and eastward across the
rest of the plains as a boundary moves south through the region.
Severe storm potential will be higher today than previous days due
to the boundary and increased wind shear. Most storms today will
carry a risk of locally heavy rain, wind gusts to around 50 mph,
pea size hail and lightning. However, from the Pikes Peak Region
southeast across the plains, there will also be a risk of severe
supercell storms producing large hail to an inch or more in
diameter, wind gusts to 60 mph or more and possibly a tornado.
Flash flooding will also be a possibility, particularly on burn
scars and urban areas.  The most likely period for severe storm
development will start late today over the Pikes Peak Region and
then carry southeast across the plains through the evening hours.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday

There will be daily chances of thunderstorms across the area
through Wednesday, with the greatest coverage of storms expected
to be over and near the higher terrain. The main threats from
storms will be lightning and locally heavy rain, with the
potential for flash flooding, especially across area burn scars.
Small hail and gusty outflow winds will also be possible with a
few of the stronger storms.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will be
possible this afternoon and evening across southeast and south
central Colorado.
