Area forecast discussion, Jun 28, 2:15 PM MST, 5 hours 41 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO 315 PM MDT FRI JUN 28 2013 .SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY) ISSUED AT 256 PM MDT FRI JUN 28 2013 ...MORE STORMS FOR THE PLAINS LATER TODAY... THE TWO MAIN CONCERNS THIS AFTERNOON/TONIGHT AND TOMORROW ARE THE CHANCES OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE I-25 CORRIDOR AND EASTERN PLAINS...AND HEAVY PRECIPITATION IN AND AROUND BURN AREAS. CURRENTLY...A SMALL CIRCULATION 20 TO 30 MILES NNW OF COS...WITH ASSOCIATED QUASISTATIONARY BOUNDARY...IS HELPING TO ENHANCE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE HIGHER TERRAIN. ESPECIALLY IN TELLER COUNTY WHERE NUMEROUS CG STRIKES HAVE BEEN DETECTED WITH A STRONG CELL CURRENTLY MOVING SOUTHWARD TOWARDS CANON CITY. THE 12Z GFS40 PV15 ALSO SHOWS A WEAK MIDLEVEL DISTURBANCE COMING THROUGH THE NORTHWEST FLOW AROUND 00Z TONIGHT. THESE INGREDIENTS...ALONG WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE 30'S AND 40'S ALONG THE I-25 CORRIDOR...WILL AID IN KEEPING THUNDERSTORMS GOING AFTER SUNSET. SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD BRIEFLY BECOME SEVERE...MINALY DUE TO GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS. LATER TONIGHT...THE HRRR/RAP/NAM12 CONTINUE TO INDICATE THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE PLAINS THROUGH 06Z. THE MODELS...ESPECIALLY THE HRRR AND RAP...SEEM A BIT OVERDONE ON THE MOISTURE (CURRENT TD IN LHX IS 26)...BUT STILL FEEL ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE PLAINS TONIGHT. THE PRIMARY THREAT FROM THESE STORMS WILL LIKELY BE WIND...BUT IF MOISTURE DOES RETURN VIA A NORTHEASTERLY SURGE AS THE RAP AND HRRR FORECAST...SOME SMALL HAIL IS POSSIBLE AS 0-6KM BULK SHEAR IS 30-40KTS ACROSS THE PLAINS. THE NAM12/GFS/EC ALL SHOW ANOTHER...MORE SIGNIFICANT...DISTURBANCE IN THE NORTHWEST FLOW PUSHING THROUGH THE AREA SATURDAY MORNING. THIS DISTURBANCE WILL DROP A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA AROUND 12Z SATURDAY. THIS WILL CREATE GUSTY NORTHEASTERLY WINDS AND HELP DROP 700MB TEMPERATURES TO AROUND 11C...LEADING TO COOLER MAX TEMPERATURES AND INCREASED MOSITURE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIKELY ONCE AGAIN ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS DURING THE LATE MORNING AND AFTERNOON. CURRENT ACTIVE BURN AREAS SUCH AS THE WEST FORK COMPLEX AND EAST PEAK FIRES...ALONG WITH THE WALDO CANYON SCAR...WILL NEED TO MONITORED FOR FLOODING POTENTIAL TOMORROW AFTERNOON. THE POTENTIAL WILL EXIST ONCE AGAIN FOR ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS DUE TO THE INCREASE IS MOISTURE. -PJC .LONG TERM...(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY) ISSUED AT 256 PM MDT FRI JUN 28 2013 ...COOLER TEMPERATURES WITH CONTINUED CHANCES OF RAIN...AND FLASH FLOODING CONCERNS FOR THE BURN SCARS... AN ACTIVE PERIOD IS EXPECTED AS THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE AXIS SHIFTS WEST AND REMAINS CENTERED THROUGH THE GREAT BASIN. NORTHERLY FLOW ALOFT IS EXPECTED ACROSS COLORADO THROUGH AT LEAST TUESDAY. AT THE SURFACE...EXPECT EAST TO SOUTHEAST UPSLOPE SURFACE FLOW TO CONTINUE WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE 50S ACROSS THE PLAINS SUNDAY. MODELS SHOW A WEAK DISTURBANCE MOVING THROUGH THE FLOW ALOFT SUNDAY AND CURRENT MODEL TIMING SHOWS IT MOVING THROUGH SOUTHEAST COLORADO DURING PEAK HEATING. WITH COOLER AIRMASS IN PLACE...CAPES IN THE 1000-1500J/KG RANGE ALONG THE SOUTHEAST COLORADO MOUNTAINS... EXPECT TO HAVE ANOTHER DAY OF CONVECTION FIRING BY EARLY AFTERNOON OVER THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS. PRIMARY CONCERN WOULD BE FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL TO IMPACT ONE OF THE BURN SCARS SUNDAY...HOWEVER...WITH ENOUGH SURFACE HEATING... INSTABILITY...AND FAVORABLE WIND SHEAR PROFILES...A FEW OF THE STORMS COULD BECOME STRONG TO SEVERE. THIS GENERAL PATTERN CONTINUES THROUGH TUESDAY ALTHOUGH CAPES AND DEWPOINTS DECREASE MONDAY AND TUESDAY WHICH WILL LIMIT THE COVERAGE...INTENSITY...AND RAINFALL POTENTIAL OF THUNDERSTORMS. ON WEDNESDAY...A STRONG UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVES SOUTH THROUGH THE BACKSIDE OF THE TROF AXIS AND CLOSES OFF OVER THE HIGH PLAINS THURSDAY. GFS FORECASTS THE CLOSED LOW TO RETROGRADE FRIDAY TO SOUTHWESTERN SOUTH DAKOTA. THE ECMWF KEEPS THE CLOSED LOW FARTHER SOUTH...OVER WESTERN KS AND THE OK/TX PANHANDLES. THE GFS SCENARIO...WHICH HAS BEEN CONSISTENT FOR A FEW RUNS NOW...KEEPS SOUTHEAST COLORADO IN A COOL AND ACTIVE PATTERN WITH THUNDERSTORM CHANCES EACH DAY FROM WEDNESDAY THRU FRIDAY. THE ECMWF SCENARIO KEEPS BEST PRECIPITATION CHANCES TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF THE CWA. STILL EXPECT THE COOLER TEMPERATURES AND INCREASED RELATIVE HUMDITIES TO BRING SOME RELIEF TO WILDFIRE THREAT. STARK && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY EVENING) ISSUED AT 256 PM MDT FRI JUN 28 2013 THUNDERSTORMS AND ASSOCIATED OUTFLOW WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE MAIN CONCERN AT KALS...KCOS...AND KPUB TONIGHT AND SATURDAY AFTERNOON. THE BEST CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE AT KCOS AND THE SURROUNDING MOUNTAINS. MVFR CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AT KCOS. VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AT KALS AND KPUB THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING. -PJC && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && SHORT TERM...PJC LONG TERM...STARK AVIATION...PJC
