Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Pueblo CO
327 PM MDT Sun Jun 12 2022

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday)
Issued at 325 PM MDT Sun Jun 12 2022

Key Messages:

1) Hot Today and Hot Tomorrow

2) High based isolated thunderstorms will be possible the rest of
this afternoon, with a strong storm possible in Kiowa and Prowers
county areas.

3) Red Flag rest of today and tomorrow over Southwest and Southern
mtns, and San Luis Valley...

Currently...

Per sat pix imgy, mid level moisture is moving over the region. Some
spotty hi based storms were ongoing at 2 pm over the region, with
the best coverage over Fremont county, with other activity over the
southern Sangres into eastern Las Animas county. A boundary
associated with higher theta-e air over W KS was slowly progressing
westward towards Kiowa county.

Temps were at or around 100F across the lower plains with 90s over
the Raton Mesa and Palmer Divide. 80s were  noted in the valleys.

Rest of Today into Tonight.

Water vapor imagery shows some mid level moisture moving across the
region. Below this midlevel moisture, the atmosphere is quite dry.
Given this environment, main concern in the short term will be for
the potential of strong outflow winds given the DCAPE of 2000 and
inverted V soundings. Although strong winds could occur over the
entire fcst area, believe the greatest threat will be over the far
eastern plains. I am also becoming a bit more concerned  for some
locally strong winds in the Pikes Peak region given the showers
moving in from Fremont county. In addition, per sat pix and radar
imgy, the leading edge of better Theta-e air is getting close to
Kiowa county, and cannot rule out a locally severe storm over this
region later this afternoon. Social media mesographics have been
issued indicating this threat.

Winds were starting to pick up in the SLV, and believe we will see
red flag conditions over the SW and southern mtns and the San Luis
valley.

Activity is expected to end relatively early, and is not expected to
linger into the late evening hours. Likewise heat burst threat will
be very low. Nonetheless, it will be another warm night over the
region tonight.

Tomorrow...

We will likely see much less convective clouds tomorrow as compared
to today. The only chance of any precip will be late in the
afternoon over the extreme eastern counties. It will be windier
tomorrow all areas and red flag conditions are near certain over the
southwest and southern mtns, and the San Luis Valley. In addition,
meteorological conditions will be quite favorable for extreme fire
behavior over all of the plains, but fuels are not receptive at this
time (it has greened up over the lower elevations). If fuels were to
become receptive, then a red flag warning will need to be issued.

Max temps tomorrow will be similar to todays max temps over the
region. It may actually feel worse due to the increased winds all
areas (G30-40 mph).

.LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday)
Issued at 325 PM MDT Sun Jun 12 2022

Key Messages:

1) Very warm to hot temperatures are expected to continue through
the forecast period.

2) Critical fire-weather conditions are expected to continue over
the southwest and southeast mountains and the San Luis Valley on
Tuesday and possibly Wednesday.

3) Chances for showers and thunderstorms increase over the
mountains, mountain valleys, and the Interstate-25 corridor late
this upcoming week into next weekend.

A strong midlevel anticyclone will remain positioned over the
southeast states through the middle of this week, while a shortwave
trough progresses over the central Rockies within the
southeastern periphery of a broader/deeper cyclone centered over
the northwest states. Strong southwesterly to westerly flow aloft,
enhanced by the shortwave trough, will persist across the
forecast area through the middle of this week. Slightly lower
midlevel heights and related lower thicknesses will yield
temperatures a few degrees lower than preceding days, though
downslope flow and associated adiabatic warming in many areas will
still support very warm to hot, and very dry, conditions. Tuesday
and Wednesday high temperatures are expected to be in the upper
80s to the middle 90s over the Interstate-25 corridor and the
plains, in the middle/upper 80s over mountain valleys, and in the
50s to the 70s over the mountains.

Diurnally enhanced vertical mixing of the enhanced
southwesterly/westerly flow to the surface, combined with an
enhanced pressure gradient surrounding high plains lee troughing
favored in this regime, will support areas of strong surface winds
continuing into Tuesday and Wednesday. These winds are expected
to combine with 7-15 percent minimum relative humidity values amid
dry fuels over the southwest and southeast mountains, as well as
the San Luis Valley. A Fire Weather Watch has been issued over
these areas for Tuesday to account for these conditions.

Medium-range guidance suggests that another deep cyclone migrating
eastward over the waters off the Pacific Northwest coast will
facilitate the east-northeastward progression of the downstream
north-central states cyclone. In response to these developments,
the southeast states anticyclone will develop westward and then
northward over the central Rockies and central High Plains for
late this upcoming week into next weekend. A northward stream of
tropospheric moisture is expected to extend over the mountains --
between the amplifying western states trough and strengthening
central states ridge.

Given the low-latitude origins of this moisture plume, it should
support adequate precipitable water amid diurnally enhanced
orographic circulations to support scattered to numerous
thunderstorms developing over the mountains each afternoon from
Friday into next weekend. The initial uptick in convective chances
will be over the southern Colorado mountains as early as Thursday,
as the leading edge of richer moisture arrives. Ensemble guidance
indicates that the synoptic pattern would favor the greatest
moisture and precipitation chances residing over the southwest
mountains, though all of the mountains, mountain valleys, and
extending eastward to the Interstate-25 corridor will have some
chance for storms. While uncertainty in the mesoscale details extend
to storm hazards, potential for lightning-induced ignitions could
become a concern over dry fuels across the southwest/southeast
mountains and the San Luis Valley. Some concern for flash flooding
could develop especially if storms develop eastward over burn
scar areas.

Farther to the east across the plains late this upcoming week into
next weekend, present indications are that these areas will be
removed from the richer-moisture plume and more appreciable
ascent, resulting in drier conditions. However, comparatively
warmer temperatures (in the upper 90s) could materialize across
these locations into next weekend.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Monday evening)
Issued at 325 PM MDT Sun Jun 12 2022

VFR conditions are anticipated during the next 24 hours at all 3 taf
sites, KPUB, KALS and KCOS.

Main concern during this fcst period will be the increasing
southwest winds tomorrow morning lasting into tomorrow afternoon.
winds will be gusting to 25 to 35 knots from the southwest.
