Area forecast discussion, Jun 13, 11:08 AM MDT, 2 hours 58 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pueblo CO 1108 AM MDT Wed Jun 13 2018 .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 342 AM MDT Wed Jun 13 2018 Currently, Isolated right turning supercell which brought very large hail (3")to the greater COS region earlier this morning has weakened with only a few showers noted over southern El Paso county. A strong thunderstorms was still noted over Lincoln county while scattered showers were over the far eastern plains. Where storms/showers were not occurring, it was mainly clear. It was very moist over the region with dewpts in the 50s and 60s over the lower elevations. The interior mountains were still quite dry with dwpts in the 20s and teens. Today... Isolated showers and storms will be possible early this morning over the far eastern plains, and cannot rule out a strong storm moving into Kiowa county towards sunrise. By later this morning all precip should end, with additional showers and storms, some possibly strong to severe, developing late this afternoon along the I-25 corridor and then moving east. The juicy air over the region this morning will likely dry out somewhat as brisk southerly flow develops over the region. In addition, heights over the area are expected to increase a bit, and this will help limit the instability over the area. Nonetheless, with the better moisture over the area, we could see some heavy rainers over the plains later today. In the interior mountains, moisture will begin to increase a bit and we could see some isolated storms over all of the higher terrain by afternoon. Tonight... Showers and storms will be possible over the far eastern plains before ending late this evening. A few strong storms with heavy rain will be possible. Moisture over the mountains will continue to increase and some very isolated showers will be possible. \/Hodanish .LONG TERM...(Thursday through Tuesday) Issued at 342 AM MDT Wed Jun 13 2018 Moisture will be on the increase, especially over the mountains during this period. The combination of a persistent trough over the western United States and the remnants of Hurricane Bob will bring an increasing chance of showers and storms to all of the region, especially the interior mountains. The best chance for the heaviest rains in the mountains will be this weekend, especially Saturday and Saturday night. It is possible that flash flooding may become a concern over the mountains as the remnant tropical weather system moves over region this weekend. A continued moist pattern will persist into next week as deep southerly flow will likely persist through the period, and this should keep a good chance of precip over the region during the period. Overall, it is possible that we may see 1 to 2 inches of rain fall over the mountains during the next 7 days, with all areas seeing at least some beneficial accumulating rainfall. \/Hodanish && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday afternoon) Issued at 1045 AM MDT Wed Jun 13 2018 Isolated to scattered thunderstorms will develop over the mountains this afternoon and will spread off into the adjacent plains after 2 PM. These storms could become strong to severe producing large hail and erratic wind gusts. Not all storms will be severe however, and still some uncertainty as to whether KCOS and KPUB terminals will be impacted. Therefore will carry a TSRA tempo group for each from 21z-00z. Drier airmass in place across the San Luis valley (as compared to the southeast plains) and although isolated storms will be possible, KALS will have a lower probability of being impacted. Will keep mention of VCTS out of the KALS taf for now but this will need to be monitored closely this afternoon as erratic wind gusts would be the primary storm threats. All thunderstorm activity should pull away from the TAF sites during the evening with winds decreasing overnight. -KT && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

A few of these storms could become severe as they move off the mountains, producing hail up to the size of golf balls and wind gusts up to 65 mph. Isolated thunderstorms will be possible across the western mountains and interior valleys this afternoon. However with less moisture available in the atmosphere, these storms will be more likely to produce gusty winds up to 50 mph and lightning, and only spotty light rainfall amounts. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday Near critical fire weather conditions are expected to develop across all of the region on Thursday due to a combination of gusty southwest winds, low humidity values and very warm temperatures. From Friday into the weekend, and into next week, a more wetter pattern is expected over the region, especially over the mountains. Some of the showers and storms will be capable of locally heavy rain, especially this weekend. The primary threats from thunderstorms during this period will be locally heavy rain, winds gusts to 45 mph and cloud to ground lightning. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will be possible this afternoon into this evening across the all of southeast Colorado plains. 31/23
