What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Pueblo, CO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Jun 11, 12:14 PM MDT, 1 hour 32 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 11, 12:14 PM MDT, 1 hour 32 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Pueblo CO
1214 PM MDT Tue Jun 11 2019

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 346 AM MDT Tue Jun 11 2019

An upper level ridge will be over the western U.S. today and
tonight, with an upper trof over the northern and central plains
states, leaving the forecast area with fairly dry northwest flow. A
front will drop south through eastern CO this morning, bringing some
gusty northerly winds.  With cooler air lagging behind the front,
temps today should still be quite warm over the plains, with highs
expected to be in the lower to mid 80s, except for some 70s in the
northern half of El Paso County.  The high valleys should see highs
in the mid and upper 70s.  The NAM and HRRR show now precip over the
area the next 24 hrs, while the GFS hints at isolated precip chances
over some of the mtns this afternoon.  Will leave the forecast dry
for now.  The mtns and high valleys today, should see areas of gusty
northwest winds.

Winds over the plains this early this evening should still be fairly
breezy and from the northeast. By late night, most areas should have
relatively light winds.  Overnight lows should generally be close to
average.

Warm temps in the high country today will continue causing snow melt
that will keep rivers, creeks and streams running high and fast in
the southwest mtns and southern portions of the San Luis Valley, as
well as along the Upper Arkansas River Valley.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday)
Issued at 346 AM MDT Tue Jun 11 2019

Wednesday-Friday...Moderate northwest flow across the Rockies on
Wednesday behind one passing shortwave moderates and becomes more
west to southwest Thursday and Friday, as more embedded Pacific
energy translates across the region. First passing wave sends a weak
front across the Plains with developing low level upslope flow
through the day Wednesday leading to slightly cooler temperatures
with highs in the mid 60s to upper 70s expected across the lower
elevations, and mainly in the 50s to lower 60s across the higher
terrain.  Models remain consistent with some modest cape across the
higher terrain leading to scattered showers and storms developing
across the higher terrain terrain Wednesday afternoon, especially
the eastern mountains, with a few storms moving east across the
Plains through Wednesday evening.

For Thursday and Friday, developing southerly low level return flow
helps to increase low level moisture across the Plains through the
end of the work week. This, along with some embedded moisture and
uvv from passing embedded waves, will lead to better coverage of
daily showers and thunderstorms across the area. Storms to initiate
across the higher terrain through the later morning and afternoon,
and spreading east across the Plains through the late afternoon and
evening hours. Models continue to indicate ample cape and enough
shear to support the possibility of strong to severe storms across
the Plains through this period. Warming aloft and the more westerly
flow will help to boost temperatures to at and slightly above
seasonal levels Thursday and Friday, with highs in the 80s to lower
90s across the Plains, with highs in 60s and 70s across the higher
terrain and in the 40s and 50s at the peaks.

With that said, will need to continue to monitor flows in area
streams and rivers for possible flooding due to the melting of
the high mountain snowpack.

Saturday-Monday...Latest models differ on amplitude of passing
energy across the Rockies Saturday, though do agree on a front
moving across the Plains. This front, combined with moisture and
lift from the passing wave, to once again lead to an uptick in
convection and cooler temperatures across the area into early next
week.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon)

VFR conditions expected across the forecast area over the next 24
hrs, including the three main TAF sites of KCOS, KPUB and KALS.
There will be occasionally gusty winds of 25-30 mph this afternoon

This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of central...east
central...south central and southeast Colorado.

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

Warm temperatures across the high country will continue causing
snowmelt, resulting in high water levels in streams, creeks and
rivers, especially in the southwest mountains, and portions of the
San Luis Valley. Localized flooding will be possible over the next
several days. The Arkansas River will also be running high and fast,
especially west of the Pueblo Reservoir.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday

Isolated to scattered thunderstorms will be possible across
the area on Wednesday, with the best coverage over and near the
higher terrain. The main threats from storms will be lighting and
gusty winds up to 45 mph.

Starting Thursday, and continuing through the upcoming weekend,
moisture will increase over the region, leading to better chances
of afternoon and evening thunderstorms through the period. Storms
look to initiate over the higher terrain through the late morning
and afternoon, with storms spreading east across the southeast
Plains through the late afternoon and evening. Storm threats
through this period will be lightning, gusty winds, small hail and
locally heavy rainfall, with a few strong to severe storms possible
across the southeast plains.

At and above seasonal temperatures later this week will continue
to accelerate the melting of the high mountain snowpack, leading
to fast and high flows in area streams and rivers and the potential
for flooding. Those with outdoor plans should pay attention to
conditions on area streams and rivers.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will be
possible in the southwest mountains and portions of the San Luis
Valley this afternoon and tonight.
