NWS Pueblo, CO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 4, 3:55 PM MST, 6 hours 35 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO 455 PM MDT SUN JUL 4 2010 .UPDATE... THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEGUN TO DEVELOP ALONG THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS...NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE PALMER DIVIDE AND ALONG THE RATON RIDGE. WHILE THE STRONGEST THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEEN OCCURRING NORTH AND SOUTH OF THE CWA...EXPECT COVERAGE TO FILL IN OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. THE MOST LIKELY AREAS TO SEE STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE OVER TELLER AND EL PASO COUNTY AND OVER THE RATON RIDGE TO THE SOUTH. STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING HAIL WITH DIAMETERS TO 2 INCHES...STRONG WINDS TO 70 MPH AND HEAVY RAINFALL. CURRENT MESO ANALYSIS IS INDICATING SHEAR VALUES AROUND 35 KTS AND SBCAPE VALUES AROUND 1500 J/KG ACROSS MUCH OF THE PLAINS. THIS WILL ALLOW UPDRAFTS TO ROTATE WITH AN ISOLATED TORNADO OR LANDSPOUT POSSIBLE THIS EVENING. HEAVY RAINFALL AND TRAINING OF STORMS WILL ALSO PRODUCE THE POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING WITH UP TO 2 INCHES OF RAIN POSSIBLE IN HEAVIER STORMS. EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS TO MOVE OFF THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS AND INTO THE PLAINS AS THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVES INTO COLORADO HELPING TO ERODE WHAT LITTLE CAP IS LEFT. THIS WILL BRING HEAVY RAIN TO THE PLAINS...ESPECIALLY NORTH OF HIGHWAY 50 OVERNIGHT. MOZLEY && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 215 PM MDT SUN JUL 4 2010/ SHORT TERM... (TONIGHT AND TOMORROW) ..SEVERE STORMS LIKELY TODAY WITH HEAVY RAIN... CURRENTLY... COLD FRONT HAS MADE IT INTO NE NEW MEXICO AND IS BANKED UP ACROSS ALL OF THE SE CO PLAINS AND ASSOCIATED I-25 CORRIDOR. FAIRLY STOUT SHORT WAVE TO OUR WEST...OVER UTAH...AND IS MOVING EAST. QUITE A BIT OF CONVECTION HAS FIRED IN ADVANCE OF THIS SHORTWAVE OVER E UTAH AND W CO. A COUPLE OF SVR STORMS HAVE ALSO INITIATED WELL IN ADVANCE OF THIS SYSTEM IN SE WY. LATEST SPC MESOANALYSIS OVER THE REGION IS INDICATING ABOUT 1000 J OF CAPE ARE ALREADY IN PLACE AS OF 1 PM. SHEAR 20-30 KNOTS OVER THE FAR E PLAINS AND 30-40 KNOTS OVER THE I-25 CORRIDOR. A FEW WEAK CONVECTIVE CELLS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS THE FRONT RANGE N OF THE CWA. THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING... SKIES WILL CONTINUE TO CLEAR AND ASSOCIATED CAPE VALUES WILL INCREASE. LATEST RUC FCST 2000-4000 JOULES BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON. THESE NUMBERS ARE LIKELY A BIT OVERDONE BUT I EXPECT 1500-2500 JOULES WILL BE LIKELY. THE GREATEST INSTABILITY WILL FORM OVER AND TO THE N OF THE RATON MESA. SHEAR WILL ALSO INCREASE AS WINDS ALOFT GRADUALLY RAMP AND THE UPSLOPE FLOW INCREASES. I EXPECT TO SEE 35-45KTS OF DEEP SHEAR BY LATE AFTERNOON/EVENING. I ANTICIPATE A WEATHER WATCH TO BE ISSUED BY MID AFTERNOON FOR THE REGION. WITH THE SHORT WAVE TAKING ITS TIME COMING OUT...I EXPECT THE ACTIVE WEATHER TO LAST WELL INTO THE NIGHTTIME HOURS. WE MAY SEE MORE THAN 1 ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE REGION WITH THIS EVENT. TORNADO THREAT WILL LIKELY OCCUR THIS EVENING AS THE LLVL JET INCREASES. SIMULATIONS SHOW 30-40 KTS SSW 700 MB FLOW OVER PARTS OF THE PLAINS THIS EVENING. COMBINE THIS WITH EASTERLY SFC WINDS AND LLVL SHEAR WILL BE FAIRLY STRONG. AS FOR DWPTS...EXPECT MID 50S OVER THE I-25 CORRIDOR AND LOW/MID 60S OVER THE FAR E PLAINS. GIVEN THE VERY MOIST AIR IN PLACE HEAVY RAIN WILL OCCUR WITH THE STRONGER STORMS TODAY. TONIGHT... BY LATER TONIGHT EXPECT MOST OF THE ACTIVITY TO BE E OF THE I-25 CORRIDOR BUT ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY STILL BE ONGOING ACROSS THE FAR E PLAINS. HEAVY RAIN WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT. IT HAS BEEN DRY ACROSS THE REGION SO AMBIENT CONDITIONS ARE NOT CONDUCIVE TO FLOODING...BUT ANY STORM THAT PRODUCES HEAVY RAIN OVER A SHORT PD OF TIME COULD CAUSE SOME HYDRO ISSUES. LOW CLOUDS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP OVER ALL OF THE PLAINS PRIOR TO SUNRISE. TOMORROW... EXPECT ATMOSPHERE OVER REGION TO BE QUITE STABLE AS AREA WILL BE ON BACKSIDE OF TROUGH. AFTER LOW CLOUDS DISSIPATE EXPECT MOSTLY SUNNY CONDITIONS TOMORROW. ONLY THREAT OF TSRA WILL BE OVER THE E SLOPES OF THE S MTNS. LONG TERM... (MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY) EXPECT SOUTHERN COLORADO TO SEE QUIET CONDITIONS MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING AS A SHORTWAVE TROUGH OVER EASTERN COLORADO DEPARTS THE AREA. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE DESERT SOUTHWEST WHILE AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH DROPS SOUTH OVER THE NORTHERN ROCKIES DURING THE DAY ON TUESDAY. SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW WILL ADVECT MOISTURE INTO THE PLAINS DURING THE DAY WITH BOTH THE NAM AND GFS INDICATING PWAT VALUES OVER AN INCH AND DEW POINTS IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S. A COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE TROUGH TO THE NORTH WILL DROP SOUTH ACROSS WYOMING INTO NORTHERN COLORADO BY 21Z. THERE ARE MODEL DIFFERENCE ON HANDLING THIS FRONT...THE NAM STALLS THE FRONT ACROSS NORTHERN COLORADO AND WASHES IT OUT WITH SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW CONTINUING ACROSS THE PLAINS. THE GFS HANGS THE FRONT ACROSS NORTHERN COLORADO LATE IN THE AFTERNOON BEFORE THE FRONT MOVES SOUTH ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS TUESDAY EVENING. GFS ALSO HAS SOME SUPPORT FROM THE OTHER MODEL SOLUTION SO HAVE FOLLOWED ITS PROGRESSION THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THUNDERSTORMS ARE FORECAST TO DEVELOP IN THE UPSLOPE MOIST FLOW REGIME OVER THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS BY 21Z AND SPREAD ACROSS THE PLAINS WEST OF I-25 THROUGH 00Z. INCREASED LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT WILL COMBINE WITH INSTABILITY TO HELP GENERATE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE PLAINS BY 03Z. MODELS IN AGREEMENT ON GENERATING AN MCS FEATURE OVER THE PLAINS WITH MODEL QPF FIELDS AROUND 4 INCHES...WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE AREAS OF HEAVY RAINFALL NORTH OF HIGHWAY 50 TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING WITH LOCALIZED FLOODING BEING AN ISSUE. GIVEN THE OUTFLOW DOMINANCE OF MCS STORMS...STRONG OUTFLOW WINDS WILL ALSO BE A THREAT AS IT MOVES EAST ACROSS THE PLAINS. THE MCS WILL SHIFT EAST INTO KANSAS ON WEDNESDAY MORNING WITH CONTINUED UPSLOPE MOIST FLOW OVER THE PLAINS. THE TROUGH TO THE NORTH WILL CONTINUE TO DIG SOUTH INTO SOUTHERN WYOMING. EXPECT TO SEE SOME CLEARING OVER THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON ALLOWING THE ATMOSPHERE TO DESTABILIZE. THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP BY 21-00Z OVER THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS AND SPREAD EAST INTO THE ADJACENT PLAINS THROUGH THE EVENING. GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE THUNDERSTORMS ARE FORECAST TO PRODUCE LOCALIZED AREAS OF HEAVY RAINFALL ESPECIALLY OVER THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS. HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE DESERT SOUTHWEST WILL BUILD NORTH INTO THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST ON THURSDAY WITH WEAK DISTURBANCES MOVING UNDER RIDGE AND INTO SOUTHERN COLORADO. MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO BE PUMPED NORTHWARD WITH THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE MOUNTAINS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AFTERNOONS WHICH WILL SPREAD EAST OVER THE PLAINS IN THE EVENING. BOTH THE ECMWF AND GFS ARE HINTING AT A PATTERN CHANGE HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND WITH A TROUGH DIGGING OVER THE MISSOURI VALLEY AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING OVER THE GREAT BASIN. THIS WILL PUT COLORADO IN NORTHWEST FLOW WITH SEVERAL DISTURBANCES TRACKING SOUTH INTO THE PLAINS. CONTINUED MOISTURE WILL KEEP THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST EACH DAY ACROSS THE REGION. TEMPERATURES WILL BE COOLER THROUGH THE WEEK WITH HIGHS IN THE 80S OVER THE PLAINS AND 60S TO 70S IN THE HIGHER ELEVATION WITH A SMALL WARM UP EXPECTED BY THE WEEKEND. 88 AVIATION... STORMS WILL LIKELY AFFECT KCOS WITH STORMS POSSIBLE OVER KPUB. KALS SHOULD REMAIN DRY. STORMS COULD OCCUR AT KCOS FROM LATER THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE NIGHTTIME HOURS. STORMS COULD BE SEVERE WITH STRONG WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. SIMULATIONS SHOW MORE THAN 1 ROUND OF CONVECTION ACROSS THE KCOS REGION AND THIS AIRPORT MAY BE DEALING WITH QUITE A BIT OF CONVECTIVE WX FROM LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING HOURS. LATE TONIGHT I EXPECT LOW CLOUDS ONCE AGAIN TO MOVE INTO THE REGION. KPUB WILL ALSO HAVE A GOOD CHANCE OF STORMS FROM VERY LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING HOURS. I ALSO EXPECT LOW CLOUDS TO REDEVELOP OVER THIS AREA LATE TONIGHT. && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && 34/88
