SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST COLORADO AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO COLORADO 257 PM MDT MON JUN 4 2001 ...TSRA CHANCES TONIGHT/TUESDAY THE CONCERNS... CURRENTLY...SURFACE MAPS APPEAR VERY SIMILAR TO SUNDAY...WITH DRYLINE/FRONT BISECTING THE CWFA...ROUGHLY ALONG A CANON CITY/COLORADO CITY/KIM LINE. LAPS DATA SUGGESTS CAPE VALUES APPROACHING 1000 J/KG OVER EL PASO/TELLER COUNTIES...MUCH LESS ELSEWHERE. CLOUDS AND RESULTING COOL SURFACE TEMPS HAVE LED TO BIG CIN VALUES OVER MOST OF THE EASTERN PLAINS. S/W TROUGH MOVING THROUGH NRN CO HELPING TO INITIATE TSRA FROM KDEN NORTHWARD...BUT PROVIDING LITTLE HELP THIS FAR SOUTH. WRN VALLEYS AND MTNS REMAIN DRY AND WARM...WITH ONLY A FEW HIGH BASED CU EVIDENT. MODELWISE...A LITTLE MORE CONSISTENCY IN MODEL SOLUTIONS TODAY... AND WILL FOLLOW AN ETA/AVN BLEND. OVERALL...MAV GUIDANCE MUCH MORE REASONABLE...WITH FWC TOO WARM DUE TO NORTHWARD NGM SURFACE BIAS. TONIGHT...STILL THE QUESTION REMAINS...WILL TSRA DEVELOP? MESOETA AND LAPS DATA POINT TO TELLER/EL PASO COUNTIES AS ABOUT THE ONLY AREA WITH ANY CHANCE FOR DEVELOPMENT...THOUGH CAPES ALONG AND NORTH OF THE ARK RIVER FROM KPUB TO KLHX ARE CURRENTLY INCREASING AS WELL. WILL AGAIN WAIT A LITTLE BEFORE ZONE ISSUANCE TO SEE WHAT DEVELOPS... CURRENTLY ANTICIPATE LIMITING PRECIP TO JUST ZONES 67/71/72. WEAK UPSLOPE AGAIN OVERNIGHT MAY BRING BACK SOME LOW CLOUDS/DRIZZLE AND FOG TO THE EAST...AND WILL ADD TO APPROPRIATE ZONE GROUPS. TUESDAY/TUESDAY NIGHT...PERSISTENT WEAK UPSLOPE FLOW COMBINED WITH WEAK S/W TROUGH PROGGED BY THE ETA SUGGEST SLIGHT CHC POPS STILL WARRANTED...THOUGH AGAIN INSTABILITY WILL BE THE BIG QUESTION. IF WE CLEAR OUT QUICKLY ENOUGH...CAPES COULD APPROACH 1000 J/KG ALONG AND EAST OF THE MOUNTAINS...WITH LOW CIN VALUES. SWODY2 HAS SOUTHEAST PLAINS OUTLOOKED FOR SEVERE...FAIRLY LOW CONFIDENCE IN THIS AS EVERYTHING WOULD HAVE TO GO JUST RIGHT. SLIGHT COOLING AT 700 MB AND CONTINUED EASTERLY FLOW SUGGEST MAV NUMBERS BEST. WEDNESDAY/WEDNESDAY NIGHT...LACK OF MOISTURE/INSTABILITY AND SOURCE OF LIFT SUGGEST LITTLE/NO TSRA ACTIVITY. STEEP LAPSE RATES OVER THE MTNS MAY GENERATE SOME VIRGA...BUT NOT WORTH A MENTION IN THE ZONES AT THIS POINT. 700 MB TEMPS WARM AS HEIGHTS RISE WITH UPPER RIDGE BUILDING...THOUGH LACK OF DOWNSLOPE COMPONENT OVER THE EAST LEADS ME TO SHAVE A COUPLE DEGREES OFF OF GUIDANCE HIGH TEMPS. AGAIN...WRN MTNS AND VALLEYS SHOULD SEE MORE OF THE SAME...WITH A VERY SLOW DAY-TO-DAY WARMING TREND. A FEW AFTERNOON BUILDUPS POSSIBLE...BUT MOISTURE APPEARS TOO LIMITED FOR ANY PRECIP. EXTENDED...AS FEARED YESTERDAY...TROUBLESOME NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT DRIVES A NEW COOL SURGE ACROSS THE ERN PLAINS THURSDAY...WITH INCREASING INSTABILITY AND UPSLOPE FLOW. MID-SHIFT ADDED PRECIP CHANCES TO THE THU-SAT TIME FRAME...WHICH STILL LOOKS LIKE A GOOD CALL. RIDGE MAY BUILD ENOUGH SUNDAY/MONbDAY TO SHUT DOWN PRECIP... ALONG WITH AN UPWARD TREND IN TEMPERATURES. PUB...NONE. PETERSEN
