Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Pueblo CO
310 PM MDT Mon Jul 1 2019

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday)
Issued at 242 PM MDT Mon Jul 1 2019

Scattered to numerous showers/thunderstorms spreading from the
mountains to lower elevations at mid-afternoon, with best coverage
of storms so far along and east of the srn Sangres. Weak cold
frontal boundary on the plains, roughly along a Trinidad to Eads
line, also expected to aid convective development late this
afternoon into the evening. Low shear/high CAPE environment
continues in place, leading to mainly slow moving, potentially heavy
rainfall producing storms, though a brief pulse severe storm may be
possible until mid-evening, especially along and north of the
Arkansas River where greatest instability is located. Most CAMs keep
substantial coverage of storms going through the evening across the
plains, with loosely organized line near the KS border 01z-02z.
Activity diminishes again after sunset, though a few showers/weak
thunderstorms may linger past midnight over the far eastern plains.

Low level environment changes little on Tue, with weak shear(20 kts)
but high CAPE(1k-2k J/KG) continuing. Should see mountains light up
with afternoon storms once again, with areas of heavy rainfall the
greatest threat. Some question as to convective chances on the
plains, as weak mid-level circulation near the KS border could
suppress storms somewhat away from the mountains while enhancing
activity farther east in KS. Broad brush of likely pops in the
mountains and chances at lower elevations looks fine for now. Should
see another day of relatively cooler max temps given
clouds/moisture/precip across the region.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Monday)
Issued at 242 PM MDT Mon Jul 1 2019

Models and ensembles continue to be in good agreement through the
extended period with very few changes to the extended forecast.

Tuesday night...showers and thunderstorms will be ongoing across
much of the region Tuesday evening, as high pressure begins to
build across the region. Models have backed off on areal coverage
through the evening, with more scattered activity spreading east
across the Plains. They do agree that as the evening progresses,
shower and thunderstorm activity will wane through the midnight
hour and dry conditions prevailing into Wednesday morning.

Wednesday through Friday...high pressure will build across
Colorado through the later half of the week with generally dry
conditions prevailing. A few showers and thunderstorms, generally
over the mountains, Palmer Divide and Raton Ridge are expected
Wednesday afternoon and evening, before dissipating overnight. For
Thursday, models have really dried out. Isolated mountain
convection will be possible, but coverage looks minimal at this
time. In addition, very dry air, with humidity values in the 10 to
15 percent range are expected. Winds will generally be light,
except for the San Luis Valley, where a few gusts may approach
critical fire weather criteria. This will need to be monitored as
it could impact 4th of July holiday activities. Extreme caution is
advised, especially over the San Luis Valley on Thursday due to
the near critical fire weather conditions. Friday will be a
transition day. The high pressure aloft will shift east with a
more monsoon type plume folding across Colorado. There should be a
slight uptick in showers and thunderstorms Friday afternoon and
evening across much of the region, especially the mountains.
Temperatures will warm during this period with 90s expected across
the region.

Saturday into Monday...monsoon energy out of the Desert Southwest
is forecast to move across the area this weekend into early next
week. In addition, a cold front is forecast to drop south across
the Plains by Saturday morning with more moisture and upslope flow
expected across the region. This will lead to increased chances
for showers and thunderstorms from Saturday afternoon into Monday.
Much will depend on individual waves moving northward out of the
Desert Southwest and across Colorado. Periods of locally heavy
rainfall may be possible and flash flooding on area burn scars may
be of concern. This will need to be monitored. Cooler temperatures
are expected over the weekend into early next week with generally
80s forecast across the Plains.  Mozley

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Tuesday evening)
Issued at 242 PM MDT Mon Jul 1 2019

Prevailing VFR conditions at the taf sites tonight and Tuesday, with
vcts until 02z at all terminals. Best chance for storms will be at
KPUB and KALS, as outflow has pushed through KCOS as of 21z, with
only a few showers behind the boundary. Activity ends late this
evening, with clearing skies after 06z. Pattern repeats on Tuesday,
with storms forming over the mountains at midday, then drifting
across lower elevations and TAF sites toward mid-afternoon.

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

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

Scattered to numerous slow moving thunderstorms will develop over
the mountains this afternoon. If one of those thunderstorms develops
over any area burn scars, flash flooding will be possible.
As thunderstorms move onto the plains late this afternoon and
evening, a few severe storms may be possible, especially near the
Kansas border. The main risks with these storms will be hail
around one inch in diameter and wind gusts up to 60 mph. All
storms today will have the potential to produce frequent
lightning, gusty winds to 40 mph, hail up to half inch in
diameter and a brief period of very heavy rainfall.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday

Scattered thunderstorms will be possible on Tuesday with locally
heavy rainfall, small hail and wind gusts up to 50 mph possible.
Localized flash flooding will be possible, particularly if an
isolated stronger storm impacts more recent burn scars.

Thunderstorm chances will decrease for Wednesday through Friday
as drier air moves into the region. Thunderstorms will be more
isolated in coverage with the potential for gusty winds up to 50
mph and brief moderate rainfall.

Thunderstorms will increase in coverage again for next weekend
with the potential for producing localized heavy rainfall.

Rivers and streams will continue to run high over the next several
days due to run off from snow melt.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will be
possible over the mountains and the Plains this afternoon and
evening.
