.UPDATE...
Issued at 733 PM MDT Tue Jun 7 2022

Have made a few updates the past hour to carve out much of the
severe thunderstorm watch, though extended Baca/Prowers/Bent until
04z to account for ongoing convection. A little concerned about
current environment back along I-25 this evening, as we're still
running with 1500-2500 CAPE as of 01z, along with a moderate
east/upslope wind. Weak cells continue to form along the Palmer
Divide currently, with HRRR suggesting some stronger cells in nrn
El Paso County 03z-04z. Trigger appears to be lacking for
widespread rejuvenated convection, as main wave is moving east
with weak subsidence aloft now spreading across the area. Will
keep some low pops going for now until late tonight, and monitor
sern CO convection for potential wwrd moving outflow through the
evening.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 234 PM MDT Tue Jun 7 2022

Convection firing across the area at mid-afternoon, with severe
storms/supercells already developing as surface CAPE is running
1500-2500 J/KG across the plains and 0-6km shear is around 50 kts.
Current radar trends and various CAMs continue to suggest
strongest storms along the Palmer Divide moving e-se and
potentially brushing Kiowa County, while another cluster of
stronger storms pushes eastward across Las Animas/Baca
Counties. Activity looks to be more isolated elsewhere back along
I-25, though potential for severe with any storm east of the
mountains remains. Main storm risk will be large hail, as we've
already had golfball to nearly tennis ball hail with a storm in El
Paso County, though tornado potential over the plains will
increase east of an Eads/Kim line toward 23z, as low level wind
field strengthens and storms move toward the main instability
axis. CAMSs then suggest activity congeals into a loosely
organized line over the far eastern plains later this evening,
which could increase the damaging wind risk before storms exit
into KS/OK/TX by late evening.

Overnight, cold front races south through the plains, with a
period of gusty winds and perhaps a shower/sprinkle over the
southeast mountain slopes and plains after midnight, as post
frontal air-mass briefly saturates. On Wednesday, generally
cooler/more stable air mass in place across the area in the wake
of the cold front. with many models suggesting little if any deep
convection developing. Suspect there will still be enough weak
instability over the mountains for a few afternoon storms, with
greatest chances over the srn Sangres where model CAPE is around
500 J/KG. Max temps will end up below seasonal averages over the
plains, while mountains and valleys see little change as cooler
air stays east.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 234 PM MDT Tue Jun 7 2022

1) Strong to severe storms possible on Thursday.

2) Drying and warming trend expected for southern Colorado going
into this weekend.

Wednesday Night and Thursday..

Despite cold frontal passage on Wednesday morning, overnight low
temperatures look to stay fairly normal for Wednesday night with
most areas falling into the 50s on the plains and 40s in the
mountains. Strong westerlies and a building ridge aloft will send
daytime highs soaring well into the nineties on our eastern plains
and mid to upper 80s for higher terrain. Another quick moving
disturbance in the flow aloft moves across central CO by Thursday
afternoon, bringing with it some chances for more thunderstorm
activity, some of which could be severe.

Moisture advection will be aided by the presence of lower pressure
over the Great Basin and higher pressure over the central plains.
With this set up, orographics will be enough to initiate general
convection on Thursday afternoon. Increased instability over the
plains will lead to a potential to see some strong to severe
development as storms move off the mountains and into the more
favorable environment around peak heating. With classic "inverted v"
forecast soundings and forecasted DCAPE values over 1800 J/Kg in the
plains, the main threat for these storms looks to be strong and
variable outflow winds. The wetting rain potential looks better
further east, but we could see more virga than rain along the I-25
corridor.

Friday through Sunday..

GEFS and EPS are in good agreement with ridging continuing to build
in aloft from Friday through the weekend. A very weak frontal
passage early on Friday will cool us down slightly and keep highs in
the upper 80s on the plains, but we will likely maintain above
average daytime highs throughout the weekend. Humidity values stay
high enough to avoid fire weather headlines east of Interstate 25
all weekend, but we will likely hit Red Flag criteria on both Friday
and Sunday afternoon in the San Luis Valley where humidity falls
into the low teens as early as 11am.

Monday and Tuesday..

Ensembles start to diverge with confidence in the upper pattern
decreasing significantly as we head into next week. Both the GEFS
and EPS hint at a transition to troughing and strong southwesterly
flow to start out our work week, but timing and placement vary
substantially. GEFS seems to be the most consistent from run to run,
and would keep the overall system rather north of us. If this
placement is to be believed, then Monday will likely be a fairly
widespread fire weather day for us in south central and southeastern
Colorado as any precipitation would be limited to our central
mountains.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Wednesday evening)
Issued at 234 PM MDT Tue Jun 7 2022

At KALS, VFR the next 24 hrs, as most tsra this evening should
stay over the higher terrain along the eastern edge of the San
Luis Valley. W-SW winds will become gusty this afternoon, before
diminishing this evening and overnight. On Wednesday, tsra again
possible over the mountains surrounding the Valley, but chance of
a storm at the airport looks low.

At KCOS and KPUB, vcts at both terminals until 00z-01z. Brief
MVFR/IFR vis possible with any stronger storms, along with a risk
of hail as well. Cold front then moves through both airports 05z-
06z, bringing north winds gusting to 30 kts through the morning on
Wed. Expect VFR cigs behind the front, with some patchy MVFR just
north of KCOS near the Palmer Divide. On Wednesday, any tsra will
stay mainly over the higher terrain west of both terminals.

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

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms will be possible along
and east of the mountains today, with the greatest risk for
severe thunderstorms from the I-25 corridor eastward through the
plains. Hail up to the size of baseballs and wind gusts around 70
mph will be the primary storm risks between 2 PM and 9 PM, before
thunderstorms move east of the area by 11 pm. An isolated tornado
will be possible, especially in the vicinity of the Palmer Divide
and Raton Ridge.

Near critical fire weather conditions will be possible across
portions of the San Luis Valley and upper Arkansas River Valley in
Chaffee county this afternoon and early evening due to gusty winds
and low relative humidity. However these conditions are expected to
remain brief and localized.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday

Isolated to scattered afternoon and evening thunderstorms are
possible across the eastern mountains and plains for Wednesday
through Sunday. A couple of storms could be strong to severe
Wednesday and Thursday. The main hazards with those storms would be
cloud to ground lightning, large hail up to 1 inch, and strong winds
up to 60 mph.

Critical Fire Weather conditions are possible across portions of
the San Luis Valley Friday, and then more widespread across
southern Colorado Sunday and Monday.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will
be likely over portions of the region.
