Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pueblo CO 216 PM MDT Mon Jun 1 2026 .KEY MESSAGES... - Severe storms possible this afternoon and evening, especially Palmer Divide and far eastern counties with large hail and damaging winds possible, and an isolated tornado risk along the Palmer Divide. - Increasing moisture through the middle of the work week with increasing coverage of daily showers and thunderstorms, a few strong to severe Tuesday and Wednesday. - Trending drier and warmer into next weekend with more isolated storms possible, mainly over the higher terrain, each day. && .SHORT TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/... Issued at 214 PM MDT Mon Jun 1 2026 Moderate southwest flow aloft continues across the region, with low level moisture back in place across the southeast plains with last nights passing front. SPC meso analysis as of 1 pm has 500-1500 j/kg in place across the I-25 Corridor, with 1500-2500 j/kg across the far southeast plains. Bulk shear was running at 25-35 kts from south to north across the region, with shear up to 40 kts across northern Colorado at this time. Current radar, as of 1 pm, has a severe storm producing 1" hail lifting out across northern El Paso County, along with a few echoes across Baca county at this time. Latest higher res models continue to keep the best severe storm parameters across northern El Paso and the far southeast plains through the late afternoon, with Severe Thunderstorm Watch 262 in place across Teller, El Paso, Kiowa, Prowers and Baca counties through 8 pm, which may be ended early, as latest models remain consistent that convection lifts out across eastern Colorado and western Kansas through the evening and overnight hours. This sends another slug of low moisture back across the southeast plains with stratus expected across the plains early tomorrow morning. This should keep low temperatures in the 50s across the plains, with lows mainly in the 30s and 40s expected across higher terrain. Flow aloft becomes more west to southwest through the day tomorrow, with another embedded wave progged to translate across the eastern Great Basin into northwest Wyoming. This will help generate scattered showers and storms across the higher terrain, available moisture has increased overnight. Further east, where better low level moisture will be in place, latest models keep to plains stable through the early afternoon, before storms across the mtns continue to push east through the late afternoon and early evening. The best coverage for storms looks to be across the southern I-25 Corridor and into the southeast plains through the evening. Strong to severe storms will remain possible, with the main threats being hail up to 1 inch in diameter and gusty outflow winds to near 60 mph, with locally heavy rainfall and localized flash flooding possible with the strongest storms. Temperatures are expected to be cooler tomorrow, especially across the plains with highs in the 70s to low 80s, with 50s, 60s and 70s expected across the higher terrain. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... Issued at 214 PM MDT Mon Jun 1 2026 Model data continues to support increasing available moisture to the area through Thursday, leading to increasing coverage of daily showers and storms through the end of the work week. Flow aloft weakens enough to support more locally heavy rain and the potential for localized flash flooding, however, there may be enough severe to work the the enhanced low level moisture to support a few severe storms across the plains on Wednesday. By the end of the work week into next weekend, flow aloft continues to weaken with upper level ridging building across the Desert Southwest into the Rockies. Models do indicate warming temperatures, but differ on amount of available moisture in place, with likely enough moisture to support daily chances of showers and storms, especially over and near the higher terrain. && .AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY/... Issued at 1237 PM MDT Mon Jun 1 2026 VFR conditions at COS and PUB are expected through the at least the overnight hours, with COS being on the fringe of severe storms this afternoon. Best convection to stay north and east of the terminals, with convection sending low level' moisture back west overnight, with stratus expected to develop at COS and PUB between 10Z-12Z. Stratus looks to break up before 18Z. VFR at ALS through the period, with breezy southwest winds this afternoon, becoming more light and dirunal through the evening and overnight hours. && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
