KEY MESSAGES
- Isolated to scattered weak thunderstorms over the mountains with gusty outflows of around 30 to 40 mph
- Mostly dry conditions with above seasonal temperatures expected through the middle of the work week.
- Rain shower and thunderstorm chances increase for the end of the week and into next weekend.
- Increasing flows in area streams and rivers with expected enhanced runoff of high mountain snowpack.
SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/
Issued at 249 PM MDT Sun Jun 2 2024
Lingering thunderstorms are expected right at the beginning of the short term forecast period (Sunday at 6PM), with the main risk being gusty outflow winds of around 50 to 60 MPH possible. By around 8pm all storms will be east of the Colorado border and dry conditions continue across the entire region.
Tomorrow the winds will be much weaker and the coverage of thunderstorms will also decrease. There will be some weak showers and thunderstorms that develop over the mountains, but the primary risk from those storms will be gusty outflows of around 30 to 40 mph. The main story is that temperatures will continue to be hot across the region with high temperatures ranging from the mid 80s to mid 90s across the plains, the 80s over the mountain valleys, and the 60s to 70s over upper Rio Grande River Valley, Lake County, and Teller County.
LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/
Issued at 249 PM MDT Sun Jun 2 2024
No big changes to the extended forecast as modest west to northwest flow aloft across the region Monday moderates into the middle of next week, as upper level ridging continues to build across the Central Rockies.
This allow for warmer and drier conditions to prevail across south central and southeast Colorado. Highs through mid week look to warm to above seasonal levels in the mid 80s to upper 90s across the plains, with temps mainly in 60s and 70s across higher terrain. Overnight lows also look to be at or above seasonal levels, leading to some increased flows in area streams with expected increased melting of the high mountain snowpack, especially across the upper Arkansas River basin where snowpack remains above normal.
By later Thursday and continuing into the next weekend, models continue to suggest passing waves across the Central Conus and developing southerly flow across the Dessert Southwest and into the Rockies will lead to slowly increasing available moisture which will lead to increasing chances of daily showers and thunderstorms areawide into next weekend. With the increased moisture and expected increase in convection, temperatures will slowly decrease, though should remain at to slightly above seasonal levels into next weekend.
AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY/
Issued at 550 PM MDT Sun Jun 2 2024
VFR conditions are expected to prevail for all TAF sites (KALS, KCOS, and KPUB) throughout the forecast period. Winds will be primarily influenced synoptically at all terminals, with gusty SW'ly winds at all terminals for the first several hours of the forecast period. There will be FROPA occurring with a windshift to the N- NE'ly direction at KCOS around 03Z and KPUB around 04Z. Winds will also come around out of the NW at KALS and then weaken by later this evening to L&V at both KALS and KPUB, with more of a diurnal influence at all terminals as they become lighter. Winds will begin to increase and become gusty again by afternoon tomorrow out of the SW'ly direction at KALS, SE-S'ly direction at KCOS and KPUB.
