.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday)
Issued at 340 PM MDT Thu Jul 26 2018

...More Thunderstorms with Heavy Rain and Severe Potential This
Evening...

Storms so far today have had limited success sustaining themselves.
However, there is another shortwave headed southeast across
northeast Colorado this evening that will change that.  This will
help to increase activity as we move into the evening.  Shear is
better than yesterday and Mixed Layer CAPES are about the same as
yesterday, approximately 1,000 J/kg.  As the shortwave drops
southeast and gets into better position this evening, this should
help thunderstorms reach their full potential.  The shortwave will
increase the shear and instability as it moves across, thus allowing
the CAPE to be more fully utilized.  Primary concerns will be flash
flooding and hail up to golf ball size.  A Severe Thunderstorm Watch
is in effect for Teller and El Paso Counties, where the severe
threat is greatest tonight.

.LONG TERM...(Friday night through Thursday)
Issued at 340 PM MDT Thu Jul 26 2018

...Active Weather continues across southeast Colorado through the
Weekend...

Friday night-Monday...Latest model guidance continues to indicate an
active weather pattern, especially across the Eastern Mts and
Plains, as upper level high pressure amplifies across the Desert SW
and into the Great Basin through early next week. This will keep
moderate northwesterly flow aloft in place across the region, with
embedded short waves riding the periphery of the ridge across the
Northern Rockies and carving out a broad upper trough across
Northern High Plains and Upper Midwest through the day Monday.
Latest guidance does suggest slightly drier air working into western
portions of the state through the weekend, however, there will
enough moisture to support scattered afternoon and evening showers
and storms each day for western portions of the area. Across eastern
Colorado, there will be enough mid and upper level moisture, to work
with the embedded disturbances and low level upslope to support
scattered storms developing over the higher terrain each day, with
storms increasing in coverage and intensity as the move south and
east across the Plains through the late afternoon and evening hours.
Best coverage of storms looks to be late Sunday afternoon and night,
with models indicating increased low level moisture pooling along
and behind a cold front. With the moderate northwesterly flow aloft,
can't rule out strong to severe storms across Eastern Colorado
Saturday and Sunday, with damaging winds and large hail and heavy
rain the main threats. Monday looks to be a down day for convection
across Eastern Colorado with much cooler temperatures, however, that
will depend on the timing of the aforementioned Sunday front.

Tuesday-Thursday...Some model differences in later part of the
extended period, however, should see a decrease in storm coverage
and intensity, as subsidence and drier air works into the region.
There should be enough residual moisture to support more isolated
afternoon and evening storms, with the best coverage over the higher
terrain.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday evening)
Issued at 340 PM MDT Thu Jul 26 2018

More storms moving through the area this evening, primarily
impacting KCOS and KPUB but also some threat at KALS.  Primary
concerns with storms for KCOS will be hail up to golf ball size,
wind gusts to 60 mph, locally heavy rain and lightning.  KPUB will
see the same threats, though hail size will be limited to about 1
inch.  KALS threats will primarily be wind gusts up to 50 mph,
locally heavy rain and lightning.  Generally VFR outside of
thunderstorm activity.  Thunderstorms will return tomorrow
afternoon.
