Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Pueblo CO
1119 AM MDT Tue Jun 23 2020

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 426 AM MDT Tue Jun 23 2020

Still some lingering convection early this morning near the Palmer
Divide and across ern El Paso county, though given current weakening
trend on radar, expect most activity to diminish by 12z, and won't
include an early morning mention in the new forecast. Pattern today
looks similar to yesterday, with weak e-se upslope winds under
modest northwest flow aloft. 0-6km shear along and east of the
mountains generally unchanged versus yesterday, ranging from 30-40
kts, while instability today may end up slightly higher, as forecast
CAPE rises into the 1000-1500 j/kg range along and east of I-25.
Overall, would expect slightly better coverage of tsra today given
better moisture/instability, with a mainly low end severe threat
over the eastern mountains and plains, which is indicated well by
the SWODY1 marginal risk area. West of the Sangres, will continue
with low pops for isolated tsra, with a chance for dry storms back
toward the Continental Divide where surface and low level moisture
remains sparse. Max temps today will likely drift downward a few
degf over the eastern half of the area as moisture and clouds
increase, while interior valleys and wrn high terrain see readings
similar to Mon. Tonight, convection again shifts e-sw across the
plains in the evening, ending by midnight over all but extreme
eastern zones.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday)
Issued at 426 AM MDT Tue Jun 23 2020

Wednesday-Thursday...Latest guidance continues to indicate some
drier air working into the region within generally weak west to
northwest flow aloft across the region. There will, however, be
enough residual moisture to support scattered showers and
thunderstorms from the late morning through the early evening hours,
with the best coverage expected over and near the higher terrain.
Model soundings continue to indicate convection will be trending to
more higher based storms, producing more gusty winds and less
wetting rainfall, which could be produce localized critical fire
weather conditions, especially along and west of the ContDvd. By
Thursday, models indicating lee troughing pushing east across the
plains, with a few stronger storms possible across the far southeast
plains, as a dryline pushes into western Kansas. Temperatures are
expected to warm back to above seasonal levels, with highs in upper
80s to upper 90s across the plains and in the 70s and 80s across the
higher terrain.

Thursday night-Friday night...Models in agreement of an upper trough
moving across the region later Thursday and Friday, though differ on
strength of said system, with the latest GFS the deepest with the
system. At any rate, passing system sends a cold front across the
eastern plains, with moisture pooling along and behind the front
could see a few early morning showers across the plains on Friday,
with good chances of showers and storms over and near the higher
terrain Friday afternoon and evening. With the increased available
moisture, storms on Friday could be on the strong side, especially
if the GFS solution is followed. Temperatures are expected to cool
slightly for Friday.

Saturday-Monday...Warmer and drier westerly flow develops again
through the day Saturday, with breezy southwest flow advertised for
the late weekend into early next week. This will lead to
progressively less and more higher based convection and the
potential for more critical fire weather days across south central
and southeast Colorado.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon)
Issued at 1117 AM MDT Tue Jun 23 2020

Showers and thunderstorms will be possible at KCOS, KPUB and KALS
this afternoon and evening. In general, VFR conditions are
expected the next 24 hrs, however it is possible that brief MVFR
conditions could occur if a heavier thunderstorms moves into the
vicinity of the terminal forecast points, along with strong wind
gusts.

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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Scattered to numerous thunderstorms are expected over the
southeast mountains and eastern plains today, and a few storms
could become strong to severe, mainly along and east of
Interstate 25. Gusty winds near 60 mph and hail up to half dollar
size will be possible, and locally heavy rainfall may occur on
area burn scars leading to a flash flood risk. More isolated
thunderstorms are expected over the Continental Divide, into the
San Luis and Upper Arkansas Valleys. These storms will produce
gusty winds and lightning, but little rainfall, which may lead to
fire starts given the dry fuels in the region.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday

Isolated to scattered afternoon thunderstorms are expected
Wednesday and Thursday, with the best coverage over and near the
higher terrain. Storms will be high based, producing more gusty
outflow winds and less wetting rainfall. This will lead to
possible critical fire weather conditions, especially for areas
along the Continental Divide.

For Friday and into Saturday, slightly cooler temperatures and a
better coverage of wetting rain showers and thunderstorms can be
expected.

Warmer, drier and breezy southwesterly flow across the area on
Sunday and Monday, will allow for less thunderstorm coverage and
lead to more critical fire weather conditions across the area.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will
be likely across the eastern mountains and southeast plains this
afternoon and evening.
