What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this red flag warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Pueblo, CO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this red flag warning went out at May 10, 2:56 PM MDT, 7 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 10, 2:56 PM MDT, 7 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pueblo CO 256 PM MDT Tue May 10 2022 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday) Issued at 253 PM MDT Tue May 10 2022 Key Messages: 1) Critical Fire Weather Conditions will continue across the area through this evening. 2) Dangerous fire weather conditions are forecast for Wednesday due to strong winds and low humidity values. 3) Low chance of strong to severe weather Baca and Prowers County Wednesday afternoon with large hail and strong outflow winds possible. 4) Areas and dust will be possible through Wednesday afternoon. Smoke is from the New Mexico wildfires and dust from strong winds across the region. Currently...satellite imagery shows an upper trough sitting along the central California coast with broad southwesterly flow spreading across Utah and Colorado. Skies are relatively clear across the region. Temperatures are warm across the Plains with mid 70s to mid 80s. Winds are southerly with gusts 30 to 40 mph and combining with humidity values under 15 percent to produce critical fire weather conditions over the entire area. Satellite imagery also shows widespread smoke lifting north out of New Mexico and into our eastern Plains. Rest of today through tonight...the upper level trough will slowly begin to shift eastward spreading increasing southwesterly low across southern Colorado. Increasing mid and high level cloud cover will begin to impact the region late tonight. Low level flow will shift more southerly across the Plains, helping to advect moisture northward by morning. This will allow for humidities to recover nicely near the Kansas border. Elsewhere, light flow and dry air will remain in place, with humidity recoveries less than 25 percent. Overnight temperatures will remain mild with 50s across the Plains, and 40s over the San Luis Valley. Wednesday...another dangerous fire weather day is in store for southern Colorado. The upper trough will continue eastward, spreading increasing southwest flow across the region. Widespread wind gusts 35 to 50 mph will be possible by mid morning, and continue into the afternoon. As southwesterlies kick in, it will force moisture on the Plains quickly eastward. Most high-res model guidance pushes the dryline east into Kansas, along with all possible thunderstorm activity. The NAMnest is the outlier, which fires convection over Prowers and Baca County by late afternoon, quickly moving it east into Kansas during the evening. Lowered pops over Prowers and Baca Counties based on the latest guidance and dryline placement. If a thunderstorm should fire, SBCAPE values around 2000 j/kg would support large hail. High cloud bases will also promote a high wind threat. Shear is modest at 25 to 30 kts. But at this time, it appears thunderstorm activity will be just to our east. For the Red Flag Warning, widespread strong winds, with gusts 35 to 50 mph are expected by mid to late morning and continue through the afternoon. Humidity values will be low, falling to under 10 percent. This will lead to dangerous fire weather conditions for the whole region. If a thunderstorm should fire over Prowers and Baca Counties, the risk of dry lightning would be elevated. This lightning could lead to fire starts, even if humidity values are above 15 percent. Mozley .LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday) Issued at 253 PM MDT Tue May 10 2022 Key messages: 1) Critical fire weather conditions will be in place for for most areas late afternoon/evening on Wednesday. Extremely dry conditions on Thursday will result in dangerous to extreme fire weather conditions over most areas, especially over the plains. 2) Critical fire weather conditions during the afternoon and early evening are going to continue from Friday through Tuesday over the mountains. 3) A few thunderstorms, possibly strong to severe, may develop over the far southeastern plains Wednesday evening. 4) Very strong winds with areas of blowing dust will be possible over the plains and San Luis Valley on Wednesday and over the central and eastern plains on Thursday. 5) Smoke from wildfires in New Mexico will infiltrate areas of the eastern mountains and plains and this could reduce visibilities and bring about poor air quality conditions through Thursday. 6) A slight chance of thunderstorms will be possible over the eastern mountains on Sunday afternoon. A chance of thunderstorms will be possible over the mountains for Monday and Tuesday afternoon. Detailed discussion: Wednesday Night through Friday... Humidity recovery will finally be at least noticeable overnight on Wednesday, especially east of the I-25 corridor. However, we will be under strong and dry southerly and southwesterly flow for all of Thursday, as the main trough axis continues to push north through the day. This southerly flow will continue to bring smoke from fires burning in New Mexico into our area on Thursday. A robust south/north oriented jet streak moves directly over our region on Thursday morning, with the strongest surface winds looking to push through south central and southeast Colorado between 3am and Noon on Thursday. Gusts up to 45kts look likely at this point, especially in El Paso County, the San Luis Valley, and the far eastern plains. Unfortunately, even after decent moisture recovery out east on Wednesday night, we are still looking at relative humidity values in the single digits for our entire area, with some of us in the single digits as early as 10am. This set up will lead to yet another day of critical to extreme fire weather conditions on Thursday afternoon. Moreover, HRRR guidance also shows dewpoints as low as -15 to -25 degree range over all the mountains, valleys, and most of the I-25 corridor during the middle of the day. With these values, potentially dangerous fire weather conditions will be widespread over these areas as RH values drop to 5 percent and below. Some areas could see red flag conditions persisting for a few hours after sunset, especially in the San Luis Valley and out east in Kiowa, Bent, Prowers, and Baca counties. Ensemble guidance shows good agreement that a transition to zonal flow will set up for Friday, with clear skies and temperatures of about 10 to 15 degrees above normal for this time of year. Daytime highs in the 80s in the lower terrain and 70s in our mountains are expected for Friday afternoon. We will remain dry, but zonal flow will help to clear any remaining smoke out of our region. Winds will still be high enough to lead to fire weather conditions on Friday afternoon, especially along and west of the I-25 corridor. -Ehr Saturday through Sunday... A ridge is going to build in over the western states and then continue to propagate towards the east and over the region throughout the weekend. This will allow for the west to northwesterly flow to continue in the mid to upper levels over the area and result in dry conditions to persist under subsidence. However, there could be enough mid level moisture present with orographic lifting to produce a few isolated thunderstorms over the eastern mountains, with the southern Sangre de Cristo Mountains looking like the best chance on Sunday afternoon. With the dry conditions and westerly winds still in place over the higher terrain, there will be fire weather concerns continuing for some of these locations, including the San Luis Valley. Temperatures will remain relatively cooler, closer to around the seasonal average, due to a weak frontal passage from the tail end of a large major shortwave trough downstream over southern Canada during the day on Saturday. Monday through Tuesday... The dirty side of the ridge is still going to be overhead with the axis over the central Great Plains. There is going to be some moisture being advected up into the ridge from Mexico, however only some weak troughing over northern Colorado due to a larger area of troughing over the NW CONUS will allow for some thunderstorms to develop over the major mountain ranges, especially Rampart Range and Palmer Divide by later in the afternoon on Monday. On Tuesday, the latest ECMWF has the mid levels being much drier than the GFS, which has thunderstorm development over the mountains due to a more moist mid level flow. Depending on which model verifies, this could either help help to mitigate the threat of fire weather conditions if enough precipitation occurs, or ignite fires due to lightning strikes. Nonetheless, the ensembles display a continued downsloping and dry pattern over the higher terrain with elevated fire weather concerns. Temperatures will continue to warm as well, ahead of the troughing. There will be more widespread fire weather conditions in place over the higher terrain and there could also be spotty areas over parts of the plains, especially along the I-25 corridor for Tuesday afternoon. -Stewey && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Wednesday evening) Issued at 253 PM MDT Tue May 10 2022 VFR conditions are expected at all three TAF sites, KCOS, KPUB and KALS, for the next 24 hours. Strong southerly winds have set in at KCOS and KPUB, and will not be diminishing until after 02Z this evening. With southerly winds, smoke from fires burning in New Mexico could effect visibility this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon, especially at KPUB and KCOS, but right now we're expecting visibilities to remain VFR. Diurnal wind trends will eventually set up overnight, before the return of more strong southerlies again for tomorrow. && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
