Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Pueblo CO
322 PM MDT Wed Aug 15 2018

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday)
Issued at 322 PM MDT Wed Aug 15 2018

Currently...

Radar is starting to light up as short wave moves towards area and
plenty of low level moisture is still available over the southern
part of the state. CAPE values at 2 pm were about 500-1000 J/KG and
shear was running 25 to 30 knts across the region. Strong storms were
currently in the Trinidad region moving southeast. Plenty of other
showers and thunderstorms were noted over the mtns, especially along
and south of US-50.

Rest of Today into Tonight...

Best chance of storms will generally be from US-50 and southward to
the NM border. Some of the storms will be strong to severe, with
generally marginal svr wx criteria expected. Stronger storms will
move south to southeast given the W-NW flow over the region aloft.
Some of the storms will produce locally heavy rain given the 60
dwpts that are still over the se Plains.

Storms are anticipated to last into the evening hours as short wave
to our north drops southeast with time. Drier air over ne CO should
limit storm coverage over the Palmer Divide. The overall best chance
of heaviest precip will occur over the far se CO plains.

Thursday...

Drier air will advect into the plains, and thus expect a dry day
over most of the plains throughout the day time period. However,
moisture in the mtns is expected to remain high and scattered storms
are anticipate over the higher terrain tomorrow. Burn scar flooding
will likely be a concern tomorrow as there will be plenty of
moisture and storms will not be moving as fast as they are today.
Overall, guidance is showing the best chance of storms along the
contdvd tomorrow afternoon. If any storms move out onto the plains,
it will be late in the day. \/Hodanish

.LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 322 PM MDT Wed Aug 15 2018

Overall, relatively active meteorological conditions are anticipated
over the forecast district during the balance of the longer term
as generally above average precipitable water values(per forecast
model soundings, simulations, etc.) interact with passing upper
disturbances and surface boundaries.

Initial upper disturbance will allow scattered showers and
thunderstorms from Friday into Friday evening/night with some
stronger to even severe storms possible(over the eastern 2/3rds of
the forecast district) as localized capes/LI's and deep layer
shears exceed values of 1200 J/KG, -6C and 40 knots respectively
at times.

PV analysis then suggests that next stronger upper disturbance in
combination with north-northeasterly surface surge will impact
the region from Saturday afternoon into Saturday night with
another round of strong to potentially severe storms at times. In
addition, heavy rain, capable of generating localized flash
flooding, favoring but not limited to recent burn scar locations
will also be possible at times during the Friday evening into
Saturday night time-frame.

In the wake of this system, Sunday should experience more tranquil
meteorological conditions in combination with cooler temperatures.

Then a return to more unsettled conditions is projected from
Monday afternoon into next Wednesday in combination with below
seasonal maximum temperatures anticipated over eastern locations
Monday and Tuesday, while western areas should be graced by near
to above seasonal temperatures from Monday into Wednesday.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Thursday evening)
Issued at 322 PM MDT Wed Aug 15 2018

VFR conditions are anticipated for the most part during the next 24
hours at all 3 taf sites, KPUB, KALS and KCOS. The only exception
will be for passing showers/TSRA later this afternoon and early
evening. The overall best chance of storms today will be at KPUB,
then KALS with the lowest chance at KCOS. At this time, no early
morning fog/low clouds are anticipated at any of the TAF sites.
