Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Pueblo CO
536 PM MDT Tue May 27 2025

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Strong to severe thunderstorms possible through Wednesday
  across the southeast mountains and plains and across the
  southern I-25 corridor on Thursday.

- Continued unsettled for Friday into weekend with mainly
  mountain thunderstorms each day with more widespread
  thunderstorms Sun/Mon depending on timing of the next ejecting
  system from the Desert Southwest.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Issued at 1258 PM MDT Tue May 27 2025

Northwest flow aloft over the region today combined with
residual moisture in weak upslope flow will trigger another
round of showers and thunderstorms across the mountains and
southeast plains with a little better moisture penetration into
the interior valleys. Thunderstorms will range from more
isolated coverage out west, to scattered to likely coverage for
eastern areas, especially as a low level jet intensifies this
evening increasing the shear and allowing for better storm
organization. In fact, some of the high res CAMs are showing
the potential for convection to last into the overnight hours,
especially across Kiowa and perhaps Prowers counties, though
CAPE becomes more lacking overnight. Main risks will be gusty
winds to around 60 mph and some hail around 1 inch in diameter
between 3 PM and 10 PM. Activity should pull east into KS by
3 PM

Better forcing will be in play for Wednesday as energy rotating
around the upper mid west low moves in during the afternoon.
This sends a cold front into the southeast plains with early
initiation advertised in the CAMs over the Pikes Peak region
(between 1 and 2 PM, spreading southeastward along the frontal
boundary and along a dry line across the far eastern plains
south of the surging front across Baca county. Better CAPE and
shear will be in play tomorrow and severe risk looks higher with
deep layer shears in the 40-50 kt range. Greatest risk area is
over Baca county where both parameters maximize. An MCS will
develop along the front and push southeastward into western KS
and the Panhandles during the evening with stratus and upslope
filling in across the southeast plains overnight. Have
maintained some pops into the overnight hours, though trends
will be towards stratiform precipitation types after midnight
with the potential for fog in and near the mountains. -KT

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Issued at 1258 PM MDT Tue May 27 2025

It will be cooler Thursday with stratus banked up across the
eastern mountains and plains gradually eroding during the late
morning/early afternoon. Post frontal upslope flow will keep
40s and lower 50 dew points pinned up across the southeast
mountains and plains. While the plains look to remain capped and
dry, the mountains will see another round of thunderstorms
develop in the afternoon and evening with deep layer shear still
running around 40 kts. Question will be if we stay too cool and
cloudy east of the mountains to get strong development. Think
best chance for an isolated severe thunderstorm will be across
the southern Sangres and southern I-25 corridor but will need
to see how the details evolve with future model runs. Activity
drops southeastward and diminishes across CO during the evening.

Daily afternoon and evening thunderstorms stay more confined to
the mountain areas for Friday through the weekend as the western
U.S. upper ridge expands over western CO on Saturday and shifts
eastward into Sunday. Upper low off the coast of the Baja
Peninsula will weaken, fill and lift northeastward as the next
trough/upper low approaches the Pacific northwest. This will
advect moisture northeastward across CO bringing an uptick in
showers and thunderstorms to the mountains and plains late
weekend into early next week. Fairly deep upper low takes shape
over the western U.S. Tuesday of next week which suggests a
warmer/drier pattern with a dry line and chance of thunderstorms
lurking near the eastern border. -KT

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY/...
Issued at 535 PM MDT Tue May 27 2025

KALS: VFR conditions expected through 24 hours. Southeast winds will
turn more westerly on Wednesday, with gusts just above 20 knots in
the afternoon. Mid-level cloudiness is also expected to stick around.

KCOS: Showers and thunderstorms passing nearby will persist into the
late evening hours, and should fully dissipate by 05Z or so. Low
clouds will move into the terminal overnight, bringing cigs down
into low-MVFR, with high-end IFR possible if any surface fog
develops. At this time, chances for IFR conditions remains too low
to include in this round of TAFs. Will update as needed. For
Wednesday, winds turn northeast, gusting up to 20 knots in the
afternoon as showers and storms return to the area.

KPUB: Showers and some thunderstorms will move in from the north
later this evening, passing close to the terminal between 02-05Z.
Current thoughts are for storms to largely pass by the terminal to
the east, but will monitor for needed updates. Low stratus and some
fog will move in overnight, starting around 06Z and lasting into the
morning. MVFR to IFR conditions are expected during this timeframe.
By afternoon, the fog will mix out and the low clouds will leave the
area. Winds will pick up out of the east-northeast, gusting around
20 knots as showers and thunderstorms return to the area close to
the end of this 24 hour forecast period.
