Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Pueblo CO
328 PM MDT Sat Jul 21 2018

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday)
Issued at 324 PM MDT Sat Jul 21 2018

...Heavy rains possible tomorrow afternoon into the evening...

Currently...

Apparent short wave running SW-NE over the area from roughly the San
Juans into NE CO initiating scattered convection around
aforementioned region. Areas farther south were indicating more
isolated convection. SPC mesoanalysis page was indicating a band
of higher CAPE...about 1000 j/kg...from SW KS into SE CO and up
into W NE. Some marginal deep layer shear...about 30 knots was
noted over the eastern plains...mainly east of a line from KCOS
down to west of KSPD.

Temps at 2 pm were pretty much well into the 90s across the Plains
with 80s in the mtns...and 60s and 70s in the mtns.

Rest of today and into tonight...

Best chance of significant convection will be along the Pikes Peak
region and across the far north sections of the se CO plains.
Heaviest precip over the higher elevations of the Pikes Peak region
will occur late this afternoon and then across El Paso from late
this afternoon and early evening and north of US50 during the early
evening hours. Some of the rain could be locally heavy and some
small hail is possible along with strong gusty outflow winds.

Over the remainder of the region precip chances will be more
isolated. Most of not all of the convection over the mtns should end
by mid evening with the activity over the far eastern plains ending
by late evening.

Tomorrow...

Sunday will likely be more wetter than today, but the heaviest
precip will likely not develop until late afternoon. Boundary will
move down the plains late tomorrow morning and early afternoon and
deeper moisture will advect onto the plains from the north. Overall
flow aloft will be weak, and not much in the way of mid level
forcing is anticipated, but with the mid level moisture already over
the region and the low levels moistening up, a good chance of
showers and storms will occur over the mtns by early to mid
afternoon with the activity pushing out onto the plains by late
afternoon. With pwats expected to be around 1.25" (>150% of normal),
heavy rains will be likely, and flooding of the burn scars will be
possible. It is not out of the question that urban flooding may also
become an issue. Incoming shifts may need to hoist a flash flood
watch for parts of the region for tomorrow afternoon into the
evening hours.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Saturday)
Issued at 324 PM MDT Sat Jul 21 2018

...Potential for heavy rain across parts of southeast Colorado...

The extended models are in fairly good agreement during the extended
period. Initially, the upper level high is centered over New Mexico
and covers a broad area across the southwest U.S., central Rockies
and southern plains states. By about midweek, the center of the
upper high shifts westward with the flow aloft becoming more
northwesterly over southeast Colorado.

At the surface, a cold front continues to make its way south through
the plains Sunday night with areas of precipitation continuing
through the evening hours. Early Sunday evening, the precipitation
is focused over the Pikes Peak region, but it shifts to the
southeast corner of the state by later Sunday evening. With
precipitable waters expects to be over 1.5 inches over the plains,
there will be beneficial rainfall for much of the area and the
potential for flash flooding in urban areas as well as some of the
recent burn scars.

On Monday, the upslope flow deepens on the plains with the focus for
convection, and possibly heavy rain, along the higher terrain.
Deeper moisture may extend to the Continental Divide, so attention
should be paid to later forecasts. Beneficial rains are welcome to
the drought stricken areas of southern Colorado, but concern that a
very moist atmosphere and slow moving thunderstorms could lead to
saturated ground and flash flooding. The eastern plains may get
some precipitation, but the airmass may be too stable for
convection on the plains Monday afternoon.

Tuesday appears to be somewhat drier with thunderstorms again tied
to the south central mountains. On Wednesday, another cold front
moves through the plains with increasing upslope flow and deeper
moisture spreading over the area. Extended models show a wet day
Thursday for the mountains and plains and that trend continues into
Friday. As the high moves farther west with time, and northwest flow
aloft increases, southeast Colorado may have a better chance for
severe thunderstorms, as well as the potential for heavy rain.

Monday will be the coolest day on the southeast plains with highs in
the low to mid 80s. Highs the rest of the week will be in the low to
mid 90s, but afternoon cloudiness and thunderstorms should halt the
daytime heating. Stark

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Sunday evening)
Issued at 324 PM MDT Sat Jul 21 2018

Isolated TSRA will be possible at the 3 taf sites (KPUB, KALS and
KCOS) this afternoon and early evening, with the best chance at
KCOS. Brief heavy rains along with gusty winds likely if any storms
go over the TAF sites. VFR expected later this evening into tonight
and most of tomorrow. A better chance for TSRA with heavy rains and
gusty winds will occur later tomorrow afternoon at each of the taf
sites.
