SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST COLORADO AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO COLORADO 240 PM MDT MON JUN 25 2001 ...THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE ONCE AGAIN THE CONCERN... CURRENTLY...CONVECTION TODAY AGAIN MOST CONCENTRATED OVER THE SOUTHWEST MOUNTAINS AND ALONG THE NEW MEXICO BORDER...ISOLATED TSRA POPPING UP OVER THE PLAINS OF LAS ANIMAS AND BACA COUNTIES AS WELL. MAX TEMPS RUNNING VERY CLOSE TO YESTERDAY...WITH READINGS APPROACHING 100 DEGF OVER MUCH OF THE LOWER ARKANSAS VALLEY. MODELWISE...CONTINUED REGRESSIVE UPPER AIR PATTERN WITH FEW DIFFERENCES IN THE SHORT TERM MODELS. IN THE LONGER TERM...MRF/AVN STILL INSISTING UPPER LOW OVER THE EASTERN U.S. RETROGRADES BACK TOWARD NORTH TEXAS BY THE END OF THE WEEK...WHILE OTHER MEDIUM RANGE PROGS AND ENSEMBLES ARE LESS REGRESSIVE. MRF/AVN HAVE BEEN VERY CONSISTENT WITH THIS SCENARIO LAST SEVERAL RUNS. IF LOW CAN BACK UP FAR ENOUGH WEST...WEAK BUT DEEP NERLY UPSLOPE FLOW MAY DEVELOP FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. TONIGHT...EVENING CONVECTION AGAIN TO END QUICKLY AFTER SUNSET...WITH ISOLATED COVERAGE SUFFICIENT FOR MOUNTAIN ZONES. WILL ADD SOME ISOLATED TSRA TO FAR EASTERN PLAINS ZONES AS WELL...GIVEN CURRENT ACTIVITY NOTED ON RADAR. TUESDAY/TUESDAY NIGHT...S/W ENERGY EJECTING FROM SWRN UPPER LOW COMBINED WITH DEEPER TROPICAL MOISTURE TAP SHOULD ALLOW FOR INCREASED PRECIP CHCS. BEST UPWARD MOTION NOTED ACROSS WRN CO AS S/W TROUGH MOVES SLOWLY NORTHWARD TUE/TUE NIGHT...THOUGH WEAK DIV-Q FIELD SPREADS OVER THE ENTIRE CWFA BY EVENING. ETA/NGM MOST AGGRESSIVE WITH PRECIP AMOUNTS...WHILE AVN NOW APPEARS DRIER. APPEARS TO BE A FAVORABLE SCENARIO FOR WIDESPREAD TSRA OVER THE SOUTHWEST MTNS BY TUE AFTERNOON...SO WILL GO WITH LIKELY POPS ZONES 60/61. INCREASED PRECIP H2O SUGGEST A FEW POCKETS OF HEAVY RAIN POSSIBLE. CHC POPS ELSEWHERE LOOK OK...LOWEST OVER THE ERN PLAINS...WHERE SURGE PROGGED BY YESTERDAYS MODELS NOW APPEARS TO REMAIN NORTH OF THE AREA. INCREASED CLOUD COVER AND MOISTURE SHOULD DROP MAX TEMPS A CATEGORY OR 2...THOUGH GUIDANCE APPEARS TOO COOL AND WILL SHADE SLIGHTLY WARMER. WEDNESDAY...SLOW MOVING S/W TROUGH OVER THE AREA COMBINED WITH LOW AND MID LEVEL MOISTURE SHOULD AGAIN PRODUCE SCT AFTERNOON CONVECTION. EXPECT MAX TEMPS SIMILAR TO TUE...AGAIN SLIGHTLY ABOVE GUIDANCE. EXTENDED...RETROGRESSIVE NATURE OF UPPER PATTERN SUGGESTS RIDGE WILL MIGRATE BACK WESTWARD LATE IN THE WEEK...THOUGH NOT FAR ENOUGH WEST TO SHUT DOWN CONVECTION ENTIRELY. WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY MAY MAKE ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO SURGE SOUTH ACROSS THE PLAINS... PROVIDING A FOCUS FOR INCREASED CONVECTION. PERSISTENCE APPEARS TO STILL BE A SAFE BET...SO WILL CONTINUE THE CURRENT EXTENDED FORECAST ANOTHER DAY. .PUB...NONE. PETERSEN
