Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Pueblo CO
1234 PM MDT Sun Apr 4 2021

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1226 PM MDT Sun Apr 4 2021

Quick update out to issue a Red Flag Warning for Baca county. Dew
points have fallen off into the upper 20s with humidity values
between 12 and 15 percent across the southeast corner of the
state. With gusty winds expected to continue with speeds to
around 30 to 35 mph, and any moisture advection expected to be
meager through the afternoon, have hoisted a Red Flag Warning
Warning for Baca county through 7 PM this evening. Otherwise,
package contains only minor adjustments to high temperatures to
nudge them upward across the mountains and adjacent plains where
downslope flow has quickly popped temperatures up into the 70s and
lower 80s across the lower elevations with 50s and 60s across the
mountain communities. Have already tied the record high
temperature at KCOS (77 degrees set in 1959 and 1967) and have
broken the old record (81 set in 1889, 1959 and 2000) in Pueblo
with a new record high of 84 degrees. With a few more hours of
heating to go, suspect all three climate sites (KCOS, KALS and
KPUB) will warm a few degrees before all is said and done. -KT

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 349 AM MDT Sun Apr 4 2021

... HOT ...

Currently...

A few high clouds were noted over the fcst area at 3AM, otherwise
skies were clear. Temps were in the 40s to 50s over the plains with
the warmest temps along the lower Ark Rvr valley. In the higher
valleys temps were in the 40s with 30s in the mtns.

Today...

Record high temps are likely across the region. expect 80s across
nearly all of the plains with 70s in the larger mtn valleys. Even
the higher elevations of the mtns will be in the 40s. The following
are record (R) highs for the date and forecasted (F) highs:

KALS - R71/F72

KCOS - R77/F77

KPUB - R81/F85

The only issue which may allow for somewhat cooler temps is we
should see more mid and high clouds move over the region today. A
well defined lee trough is going to develop over the plains and we
may see an isold thundershower extending from the Kim to S Prowers
county region late this afternoon. Some isold thunder may also occur
across the southern Sangres region. Any convection (thunder or no
thunder) will likely produce virga and this could cause some likely
strong gusty winds.

Regarding Fire Weather...it will be windy east of the lee trough
however RH values will likely only get down to a minimum of 15%.
West of the lee trough RH values will be lower (single digit
minimums), but the winds will be lighter. Overall, we may see near
critical fire weather conditions over the far southeast plains, but
highlights are not warranted at this time.

Tonight...

Dry and continued unseasonably warm. Mins will be in the 40s to
around 50F plains...20s and 30s larger interior valleys. 20s in the
mtns.

.LONG TERM...(Monday through Saturday)
Issued at 349 AM MDT Sun Apr 4 2021

Overall, the operational models are in agreement with the
evolution of the upper pattern, however, there are differences
with an upper storm system expected on Tuesday. The latest
guidance and ensembles have trended south, and sped up a bit. This
will likely play a role in fire weather conditions across the
area for Tuesday.

Monday and Tuesday...the main concern during this period will be
the potential for dangerous fire weather conditions across
southern Colorado as an upper storm system drops southeast out of
the Pacific Northwest. Flow aloft on Monday will transition from
west to southwesterly, and increase throughout the afternoon. Dry
air will spread across the San Luis Valley, and across the Eastern
Plains. Gusty winds are expected over the San Luis Valley, east
into the southern I-25 corridor, where humidity values are
expected to be under 15 percent. Issued a Fire Weather Watch from
late Monday morning, into Monday evening for the San Luis Valley,
Huerfano and western Las Animas Counties. Near critical fire
weather conditions will also be possible over portions of Pueblo
County, but coverage did not seem widespread enough to warrant a
watch. This will need to be monitored. Further east, humidity
values will be low, however, winds will be weaker, limiting the
fire weather threat. Temperatures will once again be hot across
the Plains with mid 80s to near 90.

On Tuesday, the Pacific Northwest upper low is forecast to drop
southeast across Colorado and into Kansas. Most model guidance has
trended south, and sped up the storm system a bit. This will
likely have an impact on several aspects of the forecast. One will
be the potential for high fire danger. Based on the latest
guidance, locations south of Highway 50 will see the greatest
potential for high fire danger due to strong westerly winds and
very low humidity values. In fact, the high fire danger could
start early in the day. Temperatures will be another forecast
challenge. A strong cold front is forecast to drop south into the
Plains. The NAM and ECMWF have the front south across much of the
Plains by mid afternoon, while the GFS is pushing into the Palmer
Divide. Higher humidity values are expected behind the front, and
depending on timing, may limit the high fire danger extent,
especially north of Highway 50. Winds will be gusty behind the
front, but humidity values are forecast to rise as well. Most
models develop showers and possibly thunderstorms along the front,
from the Palmer Divide, southeast across the Plains Tuesday
afternoon and evening. Much uncertainty lies in this potential at
this time. Afternoon highs will be front dependent as well. It
does look like it will be about 10 to 15 degrees cooler with 70s
across the Plains.

The main thing for Monday and Tuesday will be the High Fire
Danger. Continue to monitor the latest forecast trends for the
latest info on the critical conditions.

Wednesday through Saturday...the upper level low is forecast to
shift east of the area Wednesday into Thursday with broad westerly
flow developing across Colorado. Several disturbances embedded in
the flow are possible with Mountain showers and possible
thunderstorms during this period. Exact timing remains in
question. Temperatures will remain mild with 70s to near 80
degrees expected throughout this period.  Mozley

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon)
Issued at 1138 AM MDT Sun Apr 4 2021

Breezy west to northwest winds with gusts to 25 kts will continue
at the KCOS and KPUB taf sites through the early afternoon with
gusts decreasing some after 21z. KCOS winds could see a southerly
wind shift after 21z though odds look greatest for a west to
northwest wind to continue with gusts to 20 kts. Winds will
decrease for both terminals during the evening before increasing
again out of the west to southwest Monday morning. Skies will
remain VFR with some waves of high cloudiness at times.

KALS will see winds kick up from the west to southwest late this
afternoon with some gusts to around 20 kts possible. Winds
diminish overnight before increasing again on Monday with gusts to
around 25 kts in the late morning and afternoon. Otherwise expect
VFR cloudiness at times with high level cloudiness.

Cristo mountains as well, with some spotty light rain possible.

Dangerous fire weather conditions are forecast across the San Luis
Valley, Huerfano and western Las Animas Counties on Monday due to
gusty southwest winds and very low humidity values. More
widespread critical fire weather conditions are forecast on
