Area forecast discussion, Jul 24, 2:58 PM MDT, 4 hours 56 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pueblo CO 258 PM MDT Sun Jul 24 2022 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday) Issued at 224 PM MDT Sun Jul 24 2022 Key Messages: 1) widespread showers and thunderstorms with heavy rain this afternoon and evening with an elevated flash flood potential on area burn scars and along/north of Highway 50. 2) a few storms may become strong to severe this afternoon across the Plains. Currently...thunderstorms have been rapidly developing early this afternoon across the higher terrain of southern Colorado. Cooler, but still warm temperatures continue across the Plains where upper 80s to lower 90s have prevailed so far. Surface winds remain southeasterly, with a few gusts to near 25 mph noted in area obs. Rest of today and tonight...the main concern for the rest of today into this evening will be the widespread showers and thunderstorms. Several factors coming into play which are a bit concerning. First, southeasterly low level flow has kept moisture pooled across the Plains. Surface dewpoints are ranging from the mid 50s to lower 60s from the I-25 corridor, east to the Kansas border. Surface flow will continue to keep this moisture in place, with dewpoints remaining steady, or rising into the early evening. PWAT values also remain high, with imagery suggesting value around 1.5 inches. Aloft, a robust upper shortwave embedded under the upper high is currently moving out of western Colorado will eject northeast into northern Colorado this evening. The combination of all of these factors, along with modest instability and shear, will combine to produce very efficient rainfall producing thunderstorms. Given this, Flash Flood Watches have been issued for all area burn scars, east into the Plains, mainly along and north of Highway 50. Added Pueblo County with this package. The latest high-res guidance blossoms convection over the Eastern Mountains after 3 PM, and tracks it slowly eastward this evening. The other concern as we head into this evening will be the potential for a few strong to severe storms on the Plains. As storms move eastward, they will encounter a more favorable environment, with CAPE values near 1000 j/kg and increased 0-6 km shear around 30 kts. Wind gusts in excess of 60 mph, along with hail near 1 inch in diameter may accompany stronger storms. As storms progress eastward, model guidance suggests the formation of a mesoscale convective complex as it approaches Kansas. Wind, heavy rainfall, and lightning will be the primary concerns, especially for areas north of Highway 50. This active weather will shift east into Kansas late tonight into Monday morning. For El Paso County, southeasterly flow and moisture will likely produce low stratus and patchy fog overnight into Monday morning. Monday...not much change to the upper pattern, with the upper high continuing to spin over New Mexico and westerly flow across Colorado. Weaker embedded energy is forecast to progress across the Mountains, sparking another round of afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Flow looks to be weaker on the Plains helping to limit low level upslope forcing. However, moisture will be in place, and locally heavy rainfall will once again be possible. Flash flooding on area burn scars, and areas that have seen recent heavy rainfall, will be possible. Lightning and wind will also be a concern. Once storms initiate over the Mountains, they are forecast to spread eastward into the Plains. Modest CAPE and shear may allow for one of two stronger storms on the Plains. Overall, temperatures will remain cooler than those seen in recent days. Highs will top out in the mid 80s to lower 90s across the Plains. and mainly 70s over the San Luis Valley. Mozley .LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday) Issued at 224 PM MDT Sun Jul 24 2022 Key Messages: 1. Cool and Wet; several days of below normal temps and above normal precip. Flash flood threat will be higher than normal, especially mtns. Monday night into Friday... A favorable pattern for cooler and wetter conditions will occur during this period. Modest NW flow at mid levels will combine with monsoon flow to bring cooler and wetter conditions to the region. The NW flow will allow intrusions of modest surface high pressures systems working southeastward from the Dakotas to intrude into the region. This will enhance upslope flow during this period, especially during the THU and FRI time frame. Additionally, with trajectories from the north (vs southwest), temperatures during this period will likely run a few to several degrees below normal for max temps. Weak disturbances within the mid level NW flow will allow for favorable upward motion, and this combined with plenty of moisture in the mid and upper levels will allow for numerous showers and storms in the mtns through the end of the week. At this time, the most favorable days for excessive precip will be the THU and FRI time frame when a potentially very favorable upslope patterns evolves over the region. Flash flooding in the mtns (and possibly the plains), will be higher than normal through the end of the week. From Saturday into early next week, the ridge at mid levels is once again forecast to build over the region and this should dry things out over the region, allowing for only scattered storms in the high terrain and isolated storms on the plains, Temps will once again will heat up to normal or slightly above normal values. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Monday evening) Issued at 224 PM MDT Sun Jul 24 2022 Showers and thunderstorms are expected at all three terminals through this evening. Storms that pass over the terminals will produce gusty outflow winds to near 40 kts, and reduced CIGS and VIS. Storms will likely impact the terminals through 03z, with a few lighter rain showers possible through midnight. Southeasterly flow on the Plains will likely lead to low stratus and areas of fog, especially for KCOS. Another round of showers and thunderstorms will be possible Monday afternoon at all three terminals. Mozley && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
