SIGNIFICANT WEATHER OUTLOOK FOR NORTHEAST COLORADO
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DENVER CO
1130 AM MDT SUN JUN 7 1992

THIS OUTLOOK PERTAINS TO THE FOLLOWING COLORADO COUNTIES

ADAMS          DENVER     JACKSON      LOGAN       SEDGWICK     YUMA
ARAPAHOE       DOUGLAS    JEFFERSON    MORGAN      SUMMIT
BOULDER        GILPIN     LARIMER      PARK        WASHINGTON
CLEAR CREEK    GRAND      LAKE         PHILLIPS    WELD

SURFACE DEWPOINTS ARE QUITE HIGH THIS MORNING AND ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN
SO THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS NORTHEAST COLORADO.  DEWPOINTS ARE IN THE LOW
50S EAST OF A LINE FROM GREELY TO LIMON.  A SURFACE TROUGH WAS FORMING
TO THE WEST OF DENVER AND WILL BE MOVING EAST THIS AFTERNOON.  THIS WILL
FOCUS CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT NORTH TO SOUTH ALONG THE LEE TROUGH AS IT
PROPAGATES EASTWARD.  AN UPPER TROUGH WILL BE MOVING ACROSS CENTRAL
WYOMING THIS AFTERNOON WITH THE TAIL END OF IT BRUSHING EXTREME
NORTHEAST COLORADO (NORTHEAST WELD...LOGAN...SEDGWICK...AND PHILLIPS
COUNTIES).  THIS MAY AID IN A MORE FOCUSED AREA OF CONVECTION IN THOSE
AREAS AFTER 300 PM.  WITH THE SURFACE TROUGH MOVING EAST OF THE FRONT
RANGE EARLY THIS AFTERNOON CONVECTION WILL MOST LIKELY BE SUPPRESSED.
HOWEVER WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP AFTER 100 PM
ON A LINE FROM LIMON TO GREELY AND NORTH EARLY IN THE AFTERNOON AND MOVE
EAST WITH TIME.  A FEW OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BECOME
SEVERE...ESPECIALLY IN EXTREME NORTHEAST COLORADO AFTER 500 PM.  THUS
SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS ANTICIPATED TO THE RIGHT OF A LINE FROM LIMON
TO GREELY AND NORTH THIS AFTERNOON.
