KTWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river flood 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 river flood warning went out at Jun 12, 11:53 AM MDT, 3 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 12, 11:53 AM MDT, 3 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pueblo CO 1153 AM MDT Mon Jun 12 2023 .UPDATE... Issued at 1146 AM MDT Mon Jun 12 2023 Expanding the flash flood watch to cover much of our eastern plains. The one hour flash flood guidance is around 1.25 to 1.5 inches for much of the plains. HREF showing storms developing this afternoon and moving across much of the eastern plains. With abundant moisture and low LCLs, storms should be efficient heavy rain producers. --PGW-- && .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 353 AM MDT Mon Jun 12 2023 Key messages: 1) Strong to severe thunderstorms are once again possible across the plains, along and east of the I-25 corridor, this afternoon and evening. Large hail to the size of golf balls and damaging winds to around 60 mph are the main hazards, though a low end tornado risk remains possible. 2) Heavy rainfall will be possible with any thunderstorm this afternoon into this evening, and think most at risk for flash flooding will be areas across Teller and El Paso Counties with the Flash Flood Watch now in effect until tonight. The bulk of the strongest thunderstorms have since ended early this morning, though scattered showers with isolated thunderstorms are persisting. This will likely continue this morning across much of the plains given the broad southwesterly flow in place, though do think any stronger development will be rather limited. Where some additional stronger storms may continue this morning is across El Paso county. In this location, outflow from earlier thunderstorm development is shifting south at this time and with a steady south southeast wind in place, should see additional isolated thunderstorm development this morning. RAP analysis is showing a bullseye of higher CAPE in this location that should assist in thunderstorm development. Don't anticipate any severe storms early this morning, but an isolated stronger storm with heavy, potentially torrential, rainfall will be possible. Given the likelihood for additional thunderstorm development with heavy/torrential rainfall this morning and later today and with the earlier observed flash flooding across parts of El Paso county, have decided to extend the Flash Flood Watch into tonight. While confidence for flash flooding across Teller county today may slightly lower, the deeper southeasterly flow and higher dewpoint air well into Teller county is concerning. So, felt an extension in this area was warranted as well. Partial clearing in a very moist environment today coinciding with steeper lapse rates in place, should support quick increases in instability later this morning into early afternoon. With additional increases in flow today, higher bulk shear values are also expected. This will help support another day of strong to severe storms across the plains this afternoon into the evening. A more defined mid level wave is expected to pivot overhead this afternoon, while lee troughing occurs. Along and north of this trough and within the moisture axis, should see thunderstorm development by early afternoon. Additional development is appearing likely within lee low/mid level convergence zone across the Pikes Peak region, once again, by early afternoon. Should see storms quickly become strong to severe with large hail to the size of golf balls and wind gusts to around 60 mph the main hazards. Once again, the tornado risk is low today, though can't rule out a tornado or two especially within the trough/moisture axis where flow is even more backed. Another day of potential heavy/torrential rainfall along with the risk of flash flooding. While can't rule out localized flash flooding with any stronger storm, the highest risk for additional flash flooding looks to be across El Paso County. The severe risk then shifts to the eastern plains by late this afternoon and early evening, with similar possible hazards. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Sunday) Issued at 353 AM MDT Mon Jun 12 2023 Models are in decent agreement through much of the extended, with differences next weekend in how they want to handle energy moving across Colorado. It does look like the forecast is going to warm up and dry out as we move through the extended. Tuesday and Wednesday...the pesky upper system is forecast to meander over northeast Colorado on Tuesday, before heading into Oklahoma on Wednesday. Tuesday looks like another active day, with widespread showers and thunderstorms expected. Initial development looks to be across the Eastern Mountains and Pike Peak region, then spread south and east across the Plains. Severe weather will be a concern, especially if we can destabilize. Destabilization will depend on cloud cover early on Tuesday, and how quickly we can clear out. Current guidance shows CAPE values near 1000 j/kg by mid afternoon from El Paso County, south along the I-25 corridor into the Raton Mesa. Shear values look around 30 kts, which would be sufficient to get updrafts rotating, allowing for a severe hail threat. Hail in excess of 1 inch in diameter, wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and locally heavy rainfall will all be possible Tuesday afternoon and evening. Flash flooding will be a concern, especially for area burn scars and locations that have seen recent heavy rainfall. Showers and thunderstorms should track south and east, dissipating overnight. Wednesday looks to be a transition day, with high pressure building across the Desert Southwest, and the upper low finally moving away from the area. Residual moisture and weak energy moving through zonal flow, will likely lead to showers and thunderstorms, initiating over the Mountains, and spreading east into the Plains, mainly impacting areas north of Highway 50. Gusty winds, hail and locally heavy rainfall will all be possible. Shower and thunderstorm activity should dissipate during the evening hours. Thursday through Saturday...high pressure is forecast to build across the Desert Southwest as we head through the late week and early weekend period. Drier PWAT air is forecast to move across Colorado, leading to drier conditions. Weak embedded energy in the westerly zonal flow will lead to daily afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms, but coverage looks to be more isolated to scattered in nature. In addition, drier air will keep these storms from becoming efficient precipitation producers. Temperatures will also warm, with highs in the mid to upper 80s across the Plains. Sunday and Monday...an upper low is forecast to moving into the Pacific Northwest, with longwave troughing along the west coast. This will force flow southwesterly across Colorado. Enhanced mixing and drier air will allow temperatures to warm into the 90s for early next week. Breezy southwest winds will also be on the increase by Monday. Any shower or thunderstorm activity will be isolated in nature and confined to the mountains. Mozley && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday afternoon) Issued at 1146 AM MDT Mon Jun 12 2023 KALS...VFR. Convection looks to stay mostly north of KALS and decided not to add VCTS for the first hour of the TAF. KCOS and KPUB...Thunderstorms will continue through the afternoon with the potential for some heavy rain. Storms may become severe. Most of the convection should move east of the region by early evening. Another round of convection Tuesday afternoon. && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
