AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DENVER/BOULDER CO
245 PM MDT MON JUL 11 2005

.SHORT TERM...A SHORT WAVE TROF WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK INTO THE NRN
GREAT PLAINS THIS AFTN AND EVENING. MDLS HAVE SOME WEAK UPWARD QG
OMEGA OVER THE NE CORNER OF THE STATE DURING THE EVENING.  MDLS THIS
MORNING HAD A GOOD LOW LEVEL SOUTH TO SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW ACROSS THE
PLAINS BUT THIS HAS YET TO DEVELOP.  THE ALLEGED FRONT HAS BEEN
DIFFICULT TO FIND THIS AFTN BUT A WEAK DENVER CYCLONE IS FORMING AT
THIS TIME.  SURFACE DEWPOINTS ARE LOWER THAN THOSE ADVERTISED BY THE
MDLS SO THE PROSPECTS OF WETTING RAINFALL...ESPECIALLY FM THE URBAN
CORRIDOR WESTWARD ARE NOT LOOKING VERY GOOD FOR THIS EVENING.  MAIN
CU BUILDUP THIS AFTN IS SOUTH OF I-76 AND EAST OF I-70.  ACARS CAPES
RANGE FRM 1400-1900 J/KG SO A FEW STG OR ISOLD SVR CELLS COULD
DEVELOP.  MESOETA LOOKS TO BE OVERDONE WITH VERY GENEROUS QPF VALUES
OVER THE NORTHEAST PLAINS TNGT.  WILL CONTINUE WITH SCT POPS FOR
AREAS EAST OF DENVER.  AS FOR TUESDAY...THE UPPER RIDGE IS PROGGED
TO BUILD OVER COLORADO FM THE SOUTHWEST.  MDLS SHOW SOME FVBL CAPES
ON TUESDAY BUT MID LVL WARMING MAY CAP IT.  FOR NOW WILL GO WITH 20
PERCENT POPS MAINLY OVER SRN PARTS OF THE CWFA.

.LONG TERM...QUITE A BIT OF MID LVL DRYING AND SUBSIDENCE SHIFTING
ACROSS CO TUE NITE WHICH WILL BATTLE THE INCREASING LOW LVL MSTR
ACROSS THE FRONT RANGE. PW VALUES UP OVER AN INCH WITH SFC DEWPOINTS
OVER 50. THIS MAY BE A BIT MUCH GIVEN NAM OVERZEALOUS MSTR VALUES
LATELY.  THE BEST CHANCE OF STORMS GOING INTO TUE EVENING WILL BE
OVER THE SOUTHERN FOOTHILLS AND PALMER DIVIDE WHERE THERE IS THE
BEST MSTR POOLING. FURTHER NORTHEAST OVER THE PLAINS...ISOLD POPS AT
BEST WITH MORE STABLE CONDITIONS. DEFINITELY...A DRYING TREND ON
WEDNESDAY AS THE DRY CONDITIONS BECOME MORE ENTRENCHED ACROSS CO AS
THE HIGH BUILDS INTO NW CO WITH A DRY N-NE FLOW ALOFT. WILL MAINTAIN
JUST VERY LOW ISOLD POPS THRU MUCH OF THE EXTENDED AS THERE USUALLY
IS ENOUGH MSTR TO POP 1 OR 2 STORMS ACROSS ERN CO.

A BIGGER CHANGE IS PROGGED LATER IN THE WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK
AS A DECENT TROF BEGINS TO CARVE ACROSS THE NRN HIGH PLAINS WITH
COOLER AIR SEEPING INTO THE REGION BY MONDAY. LATER MODEL RUNS HAVE
BEEN STRONGER WITH THIS...BUT ENSEMBLE RUNS ARE STILL QUITE VARIED.
WILL ONLY LOWER TEMPS A FEW DEGREES AT THIS TIME.

.BOU...NONE.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHEAST AND NORTH CENTRAL
COLORADO.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED OVER THE MOUNTAINS THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING...WITH SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE FRONT
RANGE FOOTHILLS EASTWARD INTO THE PLAINS.  AN AXIS OF MOISTURE AND
INSTABILITY WILL PROVIDE THE FUEL FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING ON THE NORTHEAST PLAINS.  A COOL FRONT WILL
MOVE THROUGH NORTHEAST COLORADO TODAY...AND ALLOW THE MOIST AND
UNSTABLE AIR TO BEGIN MIGRATING TOWARDS THE FOOTHILLS.

THE BEST POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS WILL BE ALONG AND EAST OF A
LINE FROM AROUND BRIGGSDALE TO BYERS TO LIMON. THE WET MICROBURST
THUNDERSTORMS COULD PRODUCE LARGE HAIL...UP TO AN INCH IN DIAMETER
...DAMAGING WINDS TO 70 MPH AND VERY HEAVY RAINFALL. ENOUGH SHEAR
WILL BE PRESENT NEAR ANY BOUNDARIES FOR A WEAK TORNADO AS WELL.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY

MORE THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR ACROSS THE AREA TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING.  ENOUGH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE...INSTABILITY...AND WIND SHEAR
IN THE ATMOSPHERE ARE EXPECTED TO PROMOTE THE DEVELOPMENT OF A FEW
SEVERE STORMS WITH LARGE HAIL BEING THE PRIMARY THREAT.  THE STORMS
WILL BE SLOW MOVERS...SO THEY WILL ALSO BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING
HEAVY RAIN ESPECIALLY IN AND NEAR THE FRONT RANGE FOOTHILLS. THE
AIRMASS SHOULD BE MORE STABLE ACROSS THE FAR NORTHEAST PLAINS...SO
STORMS WILL BE MORE ISOLATED.

WEDNESDAY IS EXPECTED TO BE DRIER WITH NO CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY.  A SLIGHT CHANCE OF AFTERNOON AND EVENING STORMS WILL
RETURN ACROSS THE AREA THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.  THE MAIN THREAT
FROM THESE STORMS WILL BE STRONG MICROBURST WINDS.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED FOR THE NORTHEAST PLAINS OF
COLORADO AFTER 3 PM THIS AFTERNOON.
