SIGNIFICANT WEATHER OUTLOOK FOR NORTHEAST COLORADO
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DENVER CO
1130 AM MDT MON JUN 8 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

A WEAK COLD FRONT WAS MOVING SOUTHWEST ACROSS EXTREME NORTHEAST COLORADO
THIS MORNING BRINGING IN LOW CLOUDS AND COOLER AIR.  THE CLOUDS WILL
KEEP SURFACE TEMPERATURS COOL ENOUGH TO LIMIT THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT
SO LITTLE SEVERE WEATHER IS EXPECTED ACROSS LOGAN...SEDGEWICK...
PHILLIPS...YUMA...AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES.

HOWEVER OVER THE REMAINDER OF THE WARNING AREA CONDITIONS ARE SHAPING UP
TO TURN INTO AN ACTIVE DAY.  AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH APPROACHING FROM THE
SOUTHEAST WILL BRING IN COOLER AIR ALOFT WHICH WILL DESTABILIZE THE
UPPER ATMOSOHERE.  AT THE SURFACE CLEAR AIR WAS ALLOWING SURFACE
TEMPERATURES TO RISE CREATING A TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL BETWEEN WARM
AIR OVER THE WESTERN PLAINS AND COOLER AIR OVER THE NORTHEAST PLAINS.
THIS BOUNDARY WILL PROVIDE THE FOCUS OF DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON.
ALSO NORTH TO NORTH EAST SURFACE WINDS WERE ALSO PROVIDING AN UPSLOPE
COMPONENT ALONG THE FRONT RANGE.  THUNDERSTORMS WERE ALREADY DEVELOPING
OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND AS THEY MOVE ONTO THE PLAINS THEY WILL HELP
INITIATE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT.

THUS THE MOUNTAIN COUNTIES...JACKSON...GRAND...LARIMER...BOULDER...
GILPIN....CLEAR CREEK...SUMMIT.....LAKE....AND PARK COUNTIES...WILL SEE
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT FIRST BECOMING MORE WIDESPREAD EAST
OF THE DIVIDE AFTER 100 PM.  SOME OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTAIN
BRIEF HEAVY RAIN AND PEA TO MARBLE SIZE HAIL.

OVER THE WESTERN PLAINS...WELD...MORGAN...ADAMS...ARAPAHOE...DENVER...
JEFFERSON...AND DOUGLAS COUNTIES SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP
AFTER 100 PM AS THEY MOVE OFF THE MOUNTAINS.  BY 300 PM THUNDERSTORMS
WILL BECOME MORE NUMEROUS AND SOME WILL BECOME SEVERE WITH PEA TO
DIME SIZE HAIL...WINDS GUSTS TO 58 MPH OR GREATER...BRIEFT HEAVY
RAINS...AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING.
