Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Pueblo CO
344 PM MDT Wed Jul 25 2018

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday)
Issued at 342 PM MDT Wed Jul 25 2018

Currently...Cold front moved into the area somewhat quicker than
the models suggested, likely due to the convection earlier this
morning over Nebraska. Showers and thunderstorms are developing
over the eastern mountains.

.Tonight and Thursday...Trough will pass to our north and east
this evening. High resolution models continue to show stronger
convection developing over El Paso and Teller Counties later this
afternoon into the evening. There is enough shear and instability
to get a few strong to severe storms in El Paso Counties early
this evening. As disturbance moves southeastward, anticipate
storms will develop in the evening over Kiowa County and move to
the southeast. Still currently looks like best chances for
stronger storms will be north and east of a line from Colorado
Springs to Lamar. Latest HRRR suggest some of the storms could
move into Baca County later tonight with additional rainfall.

.Thursday...Another day with plenty of low level moisture on the
plains and eastern mountains. The GFS and NAM are focusing on the
strongest storms to be along the eastern mountains and near the
Interstate 25 corridor. SPC has marginal risk for these region
which is reasonable given the shear and marginal CAPE. Main
threats will be locally heavy rains, and will have to watch the
recent burn scars. Further west, still enough monsoon moist for
diurnal convection but main monsoon plume will be south of the
region.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 342 PM MDT Wed Jul 25 2018

.Friday through Sunday...Continued generally wet pattern for the
eastern mountains and eastward with low level moisture remaining
on the plains. Cold frontal passage on Saturday will bring in
another surge of low level moisture. On Sunday, a sharper trough
will move over the region with another cold front bringing in more
low level moisture. There could be increased chances for severe
weather on Sunday with increased shear, forcing and low level
moisture. Still to early to be very specific as many finer
details have yet to be resolved. Further west, still some monsoon
moisture wrapping around the upper high for some scattered diurnal
convection.

.Monday through Wednesday...Upper ridge retrogrades with drier
northerly flow aloft developing. In addition, better low level
moisture will move east and south of the region. Grids have a
general drying trend with some residual monsoon moisture producing
some diurnal convection. --PGW--

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Thursday evening)
Issued at 342 PM MDT Wed Jul 25 2018

Some thunderstorms will continue through mid evening at the TAF
sites with the best chances for storms at KCOS. The storms near
KCOS could be strong. On Thursday, the pattern continues with
better low level moisture at KCOS and KPUB. Models suggest more
TSRA at KCOS and KPUB than what occurred on Wednesday, while
coverage at KALS will be similar to Wednesday. _PGW--

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

Scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop over the mountains
this afternoon, with storms moving southeast across interior
valleys, the I-25 Corridor and the eastern plains late this
afternoon and into the evening. One or two strong to severe storms,
producing heavy rain, wind gusts over 60 mph and hail up to half
dollar size, will be possible over the I-25 Corridor and eastern
plains today, generally north and east of a line from Colorado
Springs to Lamar. Any thunderstorm that forms today will be

hail up to nickel size and lightning. If storms move over area
burn scars, flash flooding will be possible.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday

Daily isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected across the
mountains and plains through the extended period, with a possible
decrease in coverage starting early next week. A couple of storms
could be on the strong to severe side each day, with hail to
around 1.5 inches in diameter and winds gusting to 60 mph. Most
storms, however, will have the potential to produce up to small
hail, winds to 45 mph, frequent cloud to ground lightning, and
heavy rainfall. Burn scars and urban areas will continue to be at
risk for flash flooding.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will be
possible this afternoon and tonight across the eastern mountains and
