Area forecast discussion, May 6, 4:13 AM MDT, 6 hours 39 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pueblo CO 413 AM MDT Fri May 6 2022 .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 341 AM MDT Fri May 6 2022 Key messages: 1) Red Flag conditions continue in the San Luis Valley. Currently... Variable high cloudiness was noted over the region at 3 am. Ambient temps were in the 40s across the plain and San Luis Valley (SLV), with 20s and 30s mtns. Winds were light, with some breezy-ness noted in the Monarch pass area. Today... main issue today will be marginal critical fire weather conditions in the San Luis valley as min RH values will be in the single digits and winds will gust to 30 mph at times in the afternoon. For the rest of the area, a synoptic lee trough will develop over the KS/CO border today as mid level W-NWrly flow develops over the region. This will allow temperatures to warm up considerably, and anticipate max temps reaching into the 80s across the plains and 70s over the larger valleys. The warmest temps over the plains will develop along the lower Ark Rvr Valley, with upper 80s anticipated. mtns will be in the 40s through 60s. It should be noted that meteorological conditions for extreme fire behavior will occur over parts of the plains today (especially in gap flow regions), but given the moist ground and greening up, a red flag hilite in not warranted given these conditions. As alluded to above, westerly low level flow will dominate across the plains by this afternoon, and it will bet breezy in the gap flow areas over the plains. No precip is anticipated anywhere over the region today. Some wave clouds will likely develop over the mtns/plains interface this morning and push out onto the plains by afternoon. Tonight... Mainly clear and dry with a light steady west winds is anticipated over the region during this time. Mtn top westerly winds will gradually be on the increase as a significant jet slowly progresses towards the region. Mild min temps are anticipated with 40s and 50s over the plains, and 30s valleys. \/Hodanish .LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday) Issued at 341 AM MDT Fri May 6 2022 Key Messages: 1)Widespread Fire Weather concerns continue through next week. Saturday-Sunday: Fire Weather will continue to be our main concern for the long-term forecast period. A broad upper-level trough and associated jet will begin to move into the area on Saturday, giving us breezy southwest winds. These winds should mix down towards the surface during the afternoon, with gusts 0f 30-50 mph possible. Along with this, temperatures will soar, hitting the low-mid 90s in several locations across our eastern plains, which will bring us even more dry ambient conditions. Relative humidity during the day could drop into the single digits across the plains and SLV. Ergo, critical fire weather conditions are expected across a large portion of the area on Saturday. The trough will continue building in on Sunday as winds aloft increase with the incoming jet. Although temperatures will only hit the low-90s, RH is well low enough to fire weather to continue through the rest of the weekend. There does exist a chance for a small amount of moisture Saturday night into early Sunday over northern parts of the Continental Divide as the trough swings through. However, given how dry ambient conditions are and the speed of the low moving past, precip accumulations, if any, will be light. Monday-Thursday: Little change to the evolution in the large-scale pattern for next week, according to most of the model solutions. Still anticipating breezy west-southwest flow aloft as the strongest winds of the jet move through, which will serve to extend fire weather concerns into next week as well. Current model solutions show the development of a stronger upper low off the west coast Monday-Tuesday, which could begin to make its way into our region around the middle of next week. Naturally, deterministic model guidance still greatly differs on the exact placement and potency of this upper low, which will only be confirmed closer to date. However, in general, warm and breezy conditions will continue through the end of the long-term forecast period. High temps will be several degrees above average, conditions will be continuously dry, and precipitation chances appear low through at least next Thursday. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Saturday morning) Issued at 341 AM MDT Fri May 6 2022 VFR conditions are anticipated during the next 24 hours for all 3 taf sites, KPUB, KALS and KCOS. As for winds, KALS will see breezy west winds by afternoon, light thereafter. Winds at KCOS and KPUB are not expected to be diurnal today as a more westerly component is anticipated, especially during the latter part of the afternoon as a lee trough develops along the CO.KS border. Winds may get a bit breezy from the west by late afternoon. && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Fire Weather Watch from Saturday morning through Saturday evening for COZ220>222-224>237.
