Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Pueblo CO
300 PM MDT Sun Jul 2 2023

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday)
Issued at 300 PM MDT Sun Jul 2 2023

Key Messages:

1) Showers and thunderstorms diminishing from northwest to southeast
   through the evening.

2) Warmer and drier for Monday.

Current water vapor imagery and upper air analysis is indicating
moderate northwest flow aloft across the region, with an embedded
short wave translating across the central Rockies aiding in shower
and thunderstorm develop across south central and southeast Colorado
this afternoon. Storms have been rather high based, save for across
the southern Sangre de Cristo mtns and across the Raton Mesa into
far southeastern Colorado, where GOES PWAT data is indicating
increased available moisture. SPC meso-analysis is indicating MLCAPE
of 1000-1500 j/kg across the far southeast plains, with just enough
shear to support the potential for stronger storm development at
this time.

For tonight and Monday, embedded short wave continues to translate
southeast across southeast Colorado through the early evening, with
showers and storms diminishing from northwest to southeast. Will
still need to watch the potential for severe storms across the far
southeast plains, otherwise will see clearing skies through the
evening with overnight lows around seasonal levels once again.

Warming and drying aloft and subsidence behind the passing wave will
lead to an expected down day in convection, with mainly isolated
high based showers and storms expected over and near the higher
terrain tomorrow afternoon. Warming aloft and less expected
convection to lead to temperatures warming to at and above seasonal
levels, with highs in the upper 80s to upper 90s across the plains
and mainly in the 60s to low 80s across the higher terrain.

.LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday)
Issued at 300 PM MDT Sun Jul 2 2023

Key messages:

1) HOT through Independence Day

2) Thunderstorm chances, some severe, increase for Independence Day
and beyond.

Tuesday/Independence Day...

The heat is on for one more day on Tuesday with higs warming into
the mid-upper 90s across eastern plains (wouldn't be surprised to
see triple digit somewhere).

The heat will combine with a south moving cold front to bring a
return to thunderstorms. This as the upper pattern flattens as a
series of shortwaves traverses the northern CONUS. Cold front is
progd to reach the Palmer Divide around midday Tuesday (a few hours
quicker compared to yesterday's runs). Northern half of CWA and the
higher terrain is where convective inititation is expected during
the afternoon. Sfc moisture & resultant instability (SBCAPEs progd
of 1500 j/kg) is north of the boundary, so north of Hwy 50 would be
the best chance for severe potential. Latest trends have increased
coverage south of the front too, though suspect wind may be the more
likely hazard here given better inverted-V soundings. This'll
certainly impact late afternoon and evening outdoor activities
unfortunately.

 Wednesday...

Post-frontal air mass deepens on Wednesday as it reaches the SE CO
front range. Temperatures will be noticably cooler (15 degrees)
across eastern plains as a result, with highs only topping out to
around 80F. Instability axis will be located in close proximity to
the boundary, roughly from Springfield-Trinidad-Canon City-Pikes
Peak; where SBCAPE's of 1000-1500 j/kg are expected. Storms may
become severe in and around this instability axis. Latest trends
suggest better coverage along the front range and along the I25
corridor. Thunderstorm strength may struggle over the eastern plains
where cooler post-frontal air mass and cap reside.

Thursday through Sunday...

Temperatures will return to more normal, summertime temperatures.
Thunderstorm chances will persist, however, as low-level moisture
remains across the eastern plains. Thursday may provide the best
storm coverage as east upslope combines with better instability;
with more isolated storm coverage in time for next weekend.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Monday evening)
Issued at 300 PM MDT Sun Jul 2 2023

VFR conditions expected at COS, PUB and ALS over the next 24 hours,
with scattered showers and thunderstorms diminishing from west to
east through the late afternoon and early evening. Convection will
be higher based, with gusty outflow winds up to 50 mph possible with
storms, along with brief localized heavy rain and small hail. Skies
clear through the late evening with less convection expected on
Monday.

Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected
across south central and southeast Colorado today, with the best
coverage over and near the higher terrain. One or two stronger
storms across the far southeast plains, generally along and east
of a line from Eads to Kim, could produce damaging winds of 60 to

include gusty outflow winds up to 50 mph, small hail, localized
heavy rainfall and cloud to ground lightning.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday

Monday is expected to be drier with only a few showers developing,
while chances for severe weather pick up again across the plains
on Tuesday. A new disturbance will move through around midweek,
bringing in cooler temperatures and more widespread precipitation.

Through this period, the mountains and mountain valleys will
remain mostly dry, with Fire Weather danger slowly increasing as
fuels dry out over time.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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