NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
917 PM MDT FRI AUG 9 2013

IF CONDITIONS BECOME UNREPRESENTATIVE...CONTACT THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE.

.DISCUSSION...
LOOKS LIKE THE POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS OVER FOR THE
EVENING. EXPECT MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES...HIGH RELATIVE HUMIDITIES AND
RECEDING WATERS THROUGHOUT MANITOU. THE UPPER WEATHER PATTERN DOES
NOT CHANGE MUCH FOR TOMORROW...SO THE AREA WILL BE THREATENED ONCE
AGAIN BY ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN
AFTER 10 AM...THEN INCREASING IN COVERAGE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.
UNFORTUNATELY...THESE STORMS WILL BE HIT AND MISS WHEN IT COMES TO
THE POSSIBILITY OF AFFECTING THE MANITOU SPRINGS AREA...BUT THERE
IS ENOUGH AVAILABLE MOISTURE FOR RAPID RAINFALL RATES AGAIN BY
LATE AFTERNOON.

CREWS NEED TO MAINTAIN A WATCHFUL EYE TO THE SKY BY LATE
MORNING...AND BE PREPARED FOR QUICK DISENGAGEMENT IF THUNDERSTORMS
APPROACH.

THUNDERSTORMS IMPLY STRONG...GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS...SO ANY
STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP AND APPROACH WILL PRODUCE GUSTY OUTFLOW
WINDS THAT WILL OVERRIDE ANY LOCAL TERRAIN WINDS.
