Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Pueblo CO
319 PM MDT Sat Jul 27 2019

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday)
Issued at 319 PM MDT Sat Jul 27 2019

Currently...

Per sat pic imgy, short wave was located over west central CO at 2
pm. An enhanced area of convection was associated with this short
wave moving towards the central mountain region (Sawatch Range) of
Colorado. Elsewhere over the region storms were scattered across the
San Juans and more isolated activity over the higher terrain. Over
the plains it was mostly sunny and dry although cumulus were noted
along a weak trough axis from Kim the La Junta. Isolated storms were
noted over the Spanish Peaks region and Pikes Peak region. Temps
were warm with readings mainly in the  80s to a few mid 90s.

Rest of Today and Tonight...

Shortwave over western Colorado early this afternoon will continue
to move east and move across the higher terrain this afternoon and
will move out onto the plains by early evening. Given the current
track of the short wave and enhanced convection associated with it,
the Sawatch range may see the brunt of the thunderstorm activity,
and the Chalk Bluff region in and around Mt Princeton may need to be
watched carefully. Most of the storms over the mountains will end by
early evening as drier air advects in aloft. Storms on the plains
will likely stay together and form a broken line of convection as
they move across the plains this evening. Best coverage will be
north of US50. A few of the storms will be on the stronger side with
gusty winds, small hail and periods of heavy rain.

Tomorrow...

With much drier air moving in and heights rising over the region, we
should see less thunderstorm coverage over the region than we have
seen in the  last several days. However we will still have some
remnant lower level moisture over the region, and expect generally
scattered showers and storms over the Southern Sangres and Raton
Mesa region, with more isolated activity elsewhere. Temperature
tomorrow should be similar to todays max temps with U80s to M90s
across the plains and 70s and around 80 over the higher terrain.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Saturday)
Issued at 319 PM MDT Sat Jul 27 2019

The story through the extended period remains the upper ridge of
high pressure that will persist across the region. Starting out over
the Four Corners, it is expected to gradually slide to the east
through mid-week, then retreat back to the west towards the weekend.
Moisture trapped under the high will repeatedly be recycled each
day, but the positioning of the high will dictate whether additional
moisture gets drawn up into the state as well as the resulting
maximum temperature each day.

Sunday night through Monday...The high will be positioned over the
Four Corners through Monday, with minimal convection expected over
the mts Sunday evening. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will
develop once again Monday afternoon over the higher terrain, with
convection likely over the peaks. Little activity is forecast to
move into the plains. Look for low temps around 50F for the high
valleys and around 60F for the plains Sun night, then highs in the
upper 70s to mid 80s for the high valleys on Mon, and mid 80s to mid
90s for the plains.

Tuesday through Thursday...The center of the high slides east along
the NM and CO border to the OK and TX Panhandles through midweek,
with a great chance for pcpn over the higher terrain and I-25
corridor as more moisture gets drawn up into the western half of the
state. Convection will spread east to the plains as well for Wed and
Thu. This will also be the hottest period of the extended, with
highs in the 80s for the high valleys, and in the 90s to near 100F
for the plains.

Friday and Saturday...The ridge starts to slide back towards the
west for the weekend, still providing for likely convection over the
mts and high valleys each aftn and eve. Temps are forecast to drop
slightly, with highs around 80F for the high valleys, and mid 80s to
mid 90s for the plains. Moore

Afternoon storm likely today at all 3 taf sites, KPUB, KALS and
KCOS. Gusty winds likely with the storm outflows. Otherwise VFR.
Storm coverage tomorrow afternoon will be much less than today.

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

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

Thunderstorms will develop over the mountains by early this
afternoon which presents the risk for flash flooding over the
Spring, Junkins, and Hayden Pass burn scars. Most of the storms
over the higher terrain should significantly decrease by 7 pm this
evening.

The storms that develop over the mountains will form a line of
thunderstorms over the eastern plains as they move across the
lower elevations early this evening. The main risks will be wind
gusts up to 50 mph, isolated small hail, locally heavy rainfall,
and cloud to ground lightning.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday

Isolated to scattered thunderstorms will be found over the
mountains, high valleys and southern portions of the plains on
Sunday. Monday through Friday there should be scattered to
numerous thunderstorms over the mountains and high valleys, and
scattered storms along the I-25 corridor. Isolated to scattered
storms will be possible over the far southeast plains, Wednesday
through Friday. The main storm risks will be lightning and gusty
outflow winds, with some stronger storms possibly producing small
hail. There will also be the risk of burn scar flash flooding each
day, if heavy rain moves over the Spring, Junkins or Hayden Pass
burn scars.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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