Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pueblo CO 1128 AM MDT Thu Jun 22 2017 .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 459 AM MDT Thu Jun 22 2017 Thunderstorm coverage and strength the question for today, as fairly strong cold front drops south through the area this afternoon and evening. General model consensus is for boundary to reach the Palmer Divide by midday, then drift south toward the Arkansas River in the afternoon, though localized outflows from convection may shift winds to the north rather quickly around Pueblo and Colorado Springs. Front then races southward through the plains this evening, with deepening upslope and cooler air spreading westward across the plains and into the eastern mountains by sunset. Instability along and ahead of the front is fairly low through the afternoon, and with CAPE generally below 500 J/KG along and east of I-25, most tsra will initially be rather sparse and high based. Past few runs of the HRRR suggest a few stronger cells then develop behind the boundary along the Palmer Divide 21-22z, before activity migrates eastward toward the KS border by 00z. Conceptually, best chance for tsra over the eastern mountains and plains would then occur late this afternoon into the evening as moist air surges back toward the mountains. However, most models keep CAPE across the region very low, with only GFS developing much in the way of precip during the evening across the region. Will keep a rather broad area of low pops in place for the eastern half of the area this afternoon and overnight to account for any upslope forced precip, with any tsra transitioning to showers or patchy light rain after midnight as low level air mass saturates. Severe threat looks limited to areas along the KS border and perhaps near the Palmer Dvd, with gusty winds the main storm threat given large t/td spreads and marginal CAPE. Max temps today rather tricky with front dropping south, but in general expect most locations to be within a couple degf of yesterday's readings as mid level temps remain very warm into the afternoon. .LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday) Issued at 459 AM MDT Thu Jun 22 2017 Unsettled and cooler conditions are anticipated over the forecast district from Friday into at least the weekend in the wake of a healthy north to northeasterly surface surge which is expected to move into northeastern New Mexico by sunrise Friday. Increased pops and even some fog at times in combination with cooler conditions(especially when compared to the previous few very warm days) should be noted over the majority of the forecast district(especially eastern sections) from Friday into the weekend as upper disturbances interact with adequate atmospheric moisture. The potential exists that locally heavy rain and strong to potentially severe storms at times will be noted over portions of the forecast district from Friday into the weekend and possibly Monday. As always, WFO Pueblo will monitor closely and issue hydro/severe weather products as needed. Then a return to drier and warmer conditions are anticipated next week(especially by Wednesday) as lee-side surface troughing develops over eastern Colorado. Finally, coolest maximum temperatures during the longer term should be experienced from Friday into Monday(with Friday expected to be the coolest day as maximum temperatures should struggle to climb into the 70s over locations such as the I-25 corridor). Warmest temperatures during the longer term should be noted Tuesday and Wednesday with maximum temperatures nearing and/or exceeding 90F over many eastern sections during this time-frame. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Friday afternoon) Issued at 1121 AM MDT Thu Jun 22 2017 unseasonably strong cold front will move south across the plains late this afternoon and evening, and an additional cold surge will come down the plains around sunrise tomorrow. These fronts will bring active weather to KCOS and KPUB during this fcst period. Isolated thunderstorms, possibly strong, will be possible late this afternoon and evening. Gusty winds and brief periods of heavy rain may bring a brief period of mvfr conditions to KCOS and KPUB. Later tonight, as the colder air surges south, MVFR/IFR cigs will likely develop at KCOS and KPUB during the early morning hours. The highest impact will likely occur during the 11-14 UTC time period as the colder air actually surges south and precip/low cigs will likely occur. Conditions will slowly improve late tomorrow morning. KALS will likely see VFR next 24 hours, although there will be a very slight chance of hi-base -tsra later this afternoon/early evening. && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

Lightning, hail in excess of one inch in diameter and wind gusts over 60 mph are possible. Isolated thunderstorms will be possible in the mountains. the primary threat will be cloud to ground lightning. Warm temperatures will cause snow melt to continue across the high country, which will maintain fast flows in streams and rivers across southern Colorado. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday From Friday into Tuesday, isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms are anticipated with lightning, wind gusts around 50 mph and small hail the primary storm threats, although a few storms capable of producing hail around the size of quarters, wind gusts around 60 mph and locally heavy rainfall at times will also be possible. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will be possible late this afternoon and evening over all of the plains. Hodanish
