MG/CohenWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 7, 9:25 PM MDT, 1 hour 15 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 7, 9:25 PM MDT, 1 hour 15 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pueblo CO 925 PM MDT Tue Jun 7 2022 .UPDATE... Issued at 925 PM MDT Tue Jun 7 2022 High resolution data has been consistent with storms developing over the far eastern plains beginning at around 10PM this evening. The thunderstorms will develop in an environment of 2000 to 2500 J/kg, effective bulk shear values of around 50 to 60 kts, an effective SRH of 500 m2/s2, and a very curved hodograph favoring right moving supercells. There is inhibition at the surface, however, we are expecting these powerful supercell to break through the cap. Main hazards are expected to be 2 inch + hail stones, 70 mph + wind gusts, and the potential for a tornado or two. && .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. && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
