Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Pueblo CO
1121 AM MDT Sun Aug 10 2025

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Strong to severe storms possible once again across the eastern
  plains this afternoon and evening.

- Drier and warmer for much of the upcoming week, though
  isolated afternoon thunderstorms will remain possible every
  day, mainly over the mountains.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Issued at 301 AM MDT Sun Aug 10 2025

Currently...Convection is starting to wind down across the far
eastern plains as of 130 AM, after a very busy night. Multiple
rounds of hail and moderate to heavy rain were reported roughly
along and north of Highway 50, from Canon City east to the Kansas
state line. Temps as of 2 AM have cooled into the 50s and 60s for
most locations. Some sporadic showers will likely linger
through the early morning hours across El Paso and Pueblo
counties, and further east.

Today and tonight...Longwave upper trough axis crosses the state
today, with another upper disturbance playing as the trigger for
more late afternoon and evening convection across the eastern
plains. There is plenty of llvl moisture still in place across the
plains, with models indicating 2000+ j/kg of CAPE, and bulk shear
through the morning is an impressive 40-45 kts, though it drops off
dramatically by 00z. The one difference today, though, is that there
will likely be a good amount of cloud cover this morning that will
hinder heating at least initially. By the time things burn off and
the llvl moisture starts to cook, the best shear may be already
past. Therefore, as previously mentioned, all the ingredients are in
place for strong to severe storms once again today, and will most
likely be a later show again, but with less shear more of a rain
threat exists and perhaps not as large of a big hail threat compared
to the previous day. SPC has painted a Slight area for severe
weather all the way back to the eastern mts, and WPC has a Marginal
area for excessive rainfall across the eastern plains, and a Slight
area over the Palmer Divide. Models are hinting at convection
pushing off the higher terrain between 3 and 4 PM, consolidating as
a line and strengthening along the I-25 Corridor around 6 PM, then
pushing east across the plains through the evening.

Plan on a much cooler day today with highs in the mid 70s to lower
80s for most locations. Overnight lows are forecast to cool into the
40s for the high valleys, and 50s across the plains. Moore

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Issued at 301 AM MDT Sun Aug 10 2025

Slow drying trend begins Monday, as upper trough axis sinks
south of Colorado, and deeper moisture/instability drop south
into NM/nrn TX. Still enough moisture for afternoon convection
again on Mon, with best coverage of storms over the srn Sangres
and along the srn I-25 corridor, where forcing is strongest.
Mainly isolated activity farther north and west, and cut back
blended model pops a bit here, though may need to go even drier
if trends continue. Max temps Mon will remain cool, as pocket of
cooler air rotates south through the region, with highs in the
70s/80s at most locations.

From Tuesday into the end of the week, upper ridge builds over
the swrn U.S. and srn Rockies, bringing back summertime heat and
keeping deeper moisture suppressed south of the region until at
least Fri. Still enough recycled moisture and weak instability
for a daily dose of afternoon convection, mainly over the
mountains, though storm coverage will be rather sparse, and
rainfall amounts light. Upper ridge then shifts east from Fri
through next weekend, allowing a renewed tap of moisture to push
into srn CO. As a result, expect storm coverage and strength to
gradually ramp up Fri/Sat, especially back toward the
Continental Divide, where chances for much needed rainfall will
increase.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY/...
Issued at 1121 AM MDT Sun Aug 10 2025

VFR conditions are expected for KALS throughout the forecast
period. There will be a period of gusty winds this afternoon,
but gusts will diminish by sunset.

There will be PROB30 thunderstorm chances over KCOS and KPUB,
with the current thinking that storms will stay to the NE of
KCOS, however KPUB seems to have a little bit better chance for
storm development. IFR and LIFR conditions would occur if a
thunderstorm develops over these TAF sites. Storm chances
diminish in the evening with VFR conditions expected through the
rest of the period.

1130 AM MDT Sun Aug 10 2025

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

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

Severe storms are expected once again this afternoon and evening,
mainly from I-25 eastward across the plains. Large hail up to 1.5
inches in diameter, damaging winds around 70 mph, an isolated
tornado, and periods of moderate to heavy rainfall will be the
main storm hazards.

Showers and thunderstorms will likely push off the higher terrain
between 1 and 2 PM, consolidate as a line along the I-25 Corridor then
push east across the eastern plains through the evening. Given
the multiple rounds of hail and rain that fell across portions of
the plains Saturday evening, flash flooding of flood prone areas
will be a concern.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday

Thunderstorm coverage and strength begin to decrease on Monday,
with storms widespread over the southern Sangres and along the
southern I-25 corridor, while the remainder of the area sees only
scattered activity. The main hazards from storms on Monday will
be lightning, small hail and briefly gusty winds. After Monday,
isolated thunderstorms are possible each afternoon and evening
through the week, mainly over the mountains. Most of these storms
will be weak and short-lived, producing lightning and gusty winds
but only brief rainfall.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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