Area forecast discussion, Jun 19, 2:35 PM MDT, 6 hours 54 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DENVER CO 235 PM MDT SUN JUN 19 2005 .SHORT TERM...CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN REALIZED AS EVIDENCED BY THE CUMULUS CLDS DVLPG. NEARLY ALL OF THESE ARE IN THE FOOTHILLS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ONE CELL IN CROWLEY COUNTY WHICH HAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF AN OLD BOUNDRY TO GET GOING. DWPTS ACRS THE PLAINS ARE QUITE HIGH FOR THIS CWFA WITH MAY LOCATIONS EAST OF DENVER RPTG READINGS OVER 60. THIS IS BEING WASTED FOR THE MOST PART THOUGH... STG INVERSIONS WILL KEEP A DAMPER ON TSTMS THIS EVENING. BUT WITH STG ELEVATED HEATING SOME ISOLD POPS ARE WARRANTED ON THE FNT RANGE AND HIGH COUNTRY EAST OF THE DIVIDE THIS EVENING. TMRW LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER CORKER WITH LWR TO MID 90S XPCTD ON THE PLAINS. TEMPS WL PBLY BE 5 DEGREES OR SO WARMER ON THE FNT RANGE AS THERE WONT BE ANY DENVER CYCLONE TO SUPRESS HEATING MONDAY UNLIKE TODAY. HIER RESOLUTION ETA INDG A WEAK SHORTWAVE WILL TUMBLE ACRS THE TOP OF THE RDG TMRW EVENING. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN A MODEST UPSWING IN CONVECTION ACRS THE AREA. WL ADD ISOLD POPS TO THE PLAINS AS STORMS MAY CLIP THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE STATE IF AN MCS FORMS IN SD OR NEBR. .LONG TERM...BIG RIDGE ALOFT WILL BE WITH US FOR MUCH OF NEXT WEEK BUT ALREADY THERE HAS BEEN SOME MSTR SEEPAGE INTO THE STATE. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY ALREADY SHOWS HIGHER MSTR VALUES STREAMING NORTHWARD FROM MEXICO AND GFS/NAM ARE PICKING UP ON THIS AND ROTATING THE MSTR INTO CO DURING THE NEXT FEW DAYS. MODEL GRIDDED FIELDS INDICATE ENOUGH MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY TO GENERATE ISOLD STORMS IN THE LATE AFTN/EVENING HOURS. AREAL COVERAGE WILL BE VERY HARD TO PREDICT FROM DAY TO DAY SO WILL BLANKET ISOLD POPS IN MOST LOCATIONS THRU THE REST OF WEEK. BEST CHANCES WILL STILL BE OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND HIGHER TERRAIN LOCATIONS. TEMPS WILL REMAIN IN THE 90S ACROSS MUCH OF ERN CO...BUT A BIT OF COOL DOWN LATER IN THE WEEK AS THE MAIN CENTER OF THE HIGH IS SUPPRESSED AND HEIGHTS BEGIN TO FALL A BIT. && .BOU...NONE. && 046/SWE
