.UPDATE...
Issued at 723 PM MDT Fri Jun 13 2025

Updated to address the strong to severe storms over eastern El
Paso, south into Pueblo County. This activity has developed
along an old outflow boundary. Enough CAPE exists for strong to
severe storm development, likely through 9 PM before instability
dissipates with sunset. Large hail to near 1.5 inches will be
the main threat through 9 PM. This activity will slowly shift
eastward over the next couple of hours. Mozley

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
Issued at 207 PM MDT Fri Jun 13 2025

Tonight: Relatively quiet weather is expected heading into the
weekend. Synoptically, a ridge of high pressure will start expanding
across the area. Given increasing descent with this feature, dry
conditions are anticipated this evening and overnight. The exception
to this will be across the eastern plains, where a weak disturbance
in the flow may help to spark isolated thunderstorms along the
eastern mountains and push them across the plains during the evening
hours. Along with that, thunderstorm development may be possible
along an outflow boundary this evening from a thunderstorm cluster
in northeast Colorado. Any storm development from this outflow would
be expected to remain north of Highway 50 and primarily in Kiowa and
Prowers Counties. While no widespread severe storms are anticipated,
one or two can not be ruled out across the far eastern plains given
MUCAPE around 2000 J/kg during the evening hours. With weak shear,
high cloud bases, and large DCAPE values around 1300 J/kg, strong
outflow winds to around 60 mph would be the most likely hazard from
any organized storm that can develop. Outside of that, partly cloud
skies early will become clear by Saturday morning, with light winds
less than 10 mph expected. As for temperatures, a mild night is
expected, with much of the area cooling to around and slightly above
seasonal lows, with the plains falling into the mid 50s to low 60s,
valleys into the 40s to low 50s, and mountains into the mid 30s to
40s.

Tomorrow: For the start of the weekend, relatively quiet weather
continues. The aforementioned ridge of high pressure will continue
to expand over the region. Given the subsidence with this feature,
dry conditions are anticipated for south central and southeastern
Colorado. The exception to this may be along the higher terrain,
where a highly isolated shower or thunderstorm may blossom during
the afternoon hours. Otherwise, clear skies early will give way to
partly cloudy skies during the afternoon, with relatively light
winds around 10 mph continuing. Looking at temperatures, we'll start
pushing into the hot range, with mid to upper 90s for the plains,
upper 70s to low 90s for the valleys, and 50s to 60s for the
mountains.

Tomorrow Night: To end off the first day of the weekend, quiet
weather persist for south central and southeastern Colorado. The
ridge of high pressure that has been in place will continue to sit
over the area. Just like Saturday day, given increased subsidence
with this feature, dry conditions are expected Saturday evening and
overnight. Beyond all of that, partly cloudy skies will again return
to clear conditions overnight, with light winds less than 10 mph
continuing. Temperatures will again remain mild overnight, with many
places falling to near to slightly above seasonal lows, with the
plains dropping into the mid 50s to low 60s, the valleys into the
40s to low 50s, and the mountains into the mid 30s to 40s.

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Issued at 330 AM MDT Fri Jun 13 2025

Sunday and Monday...Modest west to southwest flow aloft with
upper level ridging in place through the through the weekend,
becomes increasing westerly through the day Monday, as the ridge
flattens ahead of short wave energy translating across the West
Coast and into the Intermountain West. Latest model data
continues to support much drier air moving into the Rockies
within the modest flow aloft. This, along with subsidence
associated with the building ridge, will lead to less coverage
of diurnal showers and storms through this period, with any
storms that can develop over and near the higher terrain being
high based. Further east across the southeast plains, low level
moisture will ebb and flow with expected weak lee/thermal
troughing in place. This will lead to the potential for a few
strong to severe storms, if mid level capping weakens enough for
the instability to be tapped. With that said, the latest SPC
Day 2 and 3 Outlooks continue indicate marginal risks across the
far southeast plains to account for this conditional
instability. With less convection and warming temperatures under
the building ridge (H7 temps +16C to +20C), will see above mid
June norms and nearing record levels (see climate section) in
the 90s to around the century mark across the plains, and in the
70s to low 80s across the higher terrain, save for 50s and 60s
at the peaks. Lows continue to be at to slightly above seasonal
levels in the 50s and 60s across the plains and mainly in the
40s across the higher terrain.

Tuesday-Wednesday...While models do indicate short wave energy
translating through the region through the mid week timeframe, they
continue to differ on the amplitude of said wave breaking down the
ridge. This, in turn, leads to differences in the amount of
available moisture and chances of precipitation across the area, as
well as how much cooling will there be across the region. NBM data
does bring temperatures back down to around seasonal levels for this
period, with chances for showers and storms, mainly across the
eastern mountains and plains.

Thursday-Friday...Warmer and drier conditions return for the end of
the next work week, as operational and ensemble model data supports
upper ridging building back across the Rockies.

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 532 PM MDT Fri Jun 13 2025

Isolated convection across the higher terrain and adjacent plains
has been producing some small hail but predominantly gusty outflow
winds ranging from 25-35 kts. Convection is expected to persist
until around 02z, then diminish with clearing cloud cover overnight.
Overall, VFR conditions expected for much of the forecast area
over the next 24 hrs, including the three main TAF sites of
KCOS, KPUB and KALS.

KCOS: VCTS through 02z with PROB30 for -TSRA and variable gusts to
around 30 kts, then clearing skies by 06z.

KPUB: TEMPO though 01z from gusty northerly outflow to around 30
kts. Clearing skies by 04z.

KALS: Gusty west winds to 30 kts developing tomorrow by 23z.

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 330 AM MDT Fri Jun 13 2025

Meteorological critical fire weather conditions will be possible
Monday and Tuesday across the San Luis Valley and surrounding
higher terrain, with increasing westerly flow and dry
conditions across the region. However, fuels have been deemed
non-critical, with no expected fire weather highlights through
early next week.

1102 AM MDT Fri Jun 13 2025

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

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

Isolated showers and thunderstorms will be possible from midday
onwards, mainly over the San Luis Valley, the eastern mountains,
Pikes Peak region, and the southeast plains. The main risk with
storms today will be the potential for strong outflow winds
gusting to 60 mph. If storms develop over or move across the far
southeast plains, a few may also become strong enough to produce
hail up to the size of quarters.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday

A drier and warmer airmass will move across the Rockies through
early next week, which is expected to limit thunderstorm activity
across the area. However, a few isolated late afternoon storms
will remain possible, with the main threats from these higher
based storms being lightning and gusty outflow winds up to 45
mph. There will also be a very low chance of strong to severe
storms across the far southeast plains through the period.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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