AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHEYENNE WY
250 PM MDT MON APR 18 2005

.SHORT TERM...COMPLEX PATTERN SETTING UP IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS. MAJOR
UPPER LOW OVER THE WESTERN CONUS IS BEING DEPICTED BY ALL READILY
AVAILABLE MODELS AS BEING CUT OFF AT THIS HOUR. FURTHER DEEPENING IS
EXPECTED OVERNIGHT AS IT SLIDES SE. SFC LOW IS PROGGED TO DEVELOP
SOMEWHERE IN NORTHEASTERN COLORADO DEPENDING ON WHICH RUN OF WHICH
MODEL IS USED. REGARDLESS...THIS IS A GREAT UPSLOPE SITUATION WITH
PLENTY OF SYNOPTIC PRECIP IN THE NORTHERN TIER DEVELOPING OVERNIGHT
AND SLOWLY SAGGING SOUTHWARD. CONCURRENTLY A SFC BOUNDARY WILL BE
DRAGGED SOUTHWARD FROM NORTHERN WY AS THE PARENT UPPER LOW MOVES
SOUTHWARD. THIS BOUNDARY WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR SOME FORCED LIFT
TOMORROW IN AN ALREADY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE. GENERAL UPLIFT ON THE
EASTERN FRINGE OF THE UPPER LOW WILL SERVE TO FURTHER DESTABILIZE
THE REGION. A SIGNIFICANT AXIS OF INSTABILITY IS NOTED ON THE 12Z
AND 18Z NAM RUNS IN THE REGION OF SFC CONVERGENCE ASSOCIATED WITH
THE BOUNDARY. THE BOUNDARY SHOULD HANG AROUND SOUTHERN WY MOST OF
THE DAY...PROBABLY RESIDING NEAR THE CO/WY BORDER. HEATING AHEAD OF
THE SFC FEATURE AND POSITION OF THE BOUNDARY WILL BE SIGNIFICANT
VARIABLES. BOTH SECTORS OF A BOUNDARY HAVE THEIR OWN SET OF SVR
THREATS...SO SOME GUSTY/HAIL TYPE DESCRIPTORS WERE USED TO MODIFY
THE TSMS IN A DECENT CHUNK OF THE CWA. OBVIOUSLY...TEMPERATURES ARE A
TRICKY ISSUE FOR TUESDAY. GUIDANCE TEMPS ARE SEVERAL DEGREES HIGHER
THAN PREVIOUS FOR THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE CWA. DECIDED TO RAISE A
FEW DEGREES HERE AND THERE...BANKING ON SOME INSOLATION.

.LONG TERM...THE UPPER LEVEL CUTOFF LOW OVER NORTHEASTERN NV TUE
EVENING WILL WOBBLE SLOWLY NORTHEASTWARD TUE NIGHT THEN MOVE
NORTHWARD OVER EASTERN ID WED. THU MORNING THE CUTOFF WILL BE
CENTERED OVER THE BITTERROOT RANGE ALONG THE ID/MT BORDER. BY 00Z
FRI THE MODELS DEPICT A DOUBLE BARRELED UPPER LOW EXTENDING FROM THE
CONFLUENCE OF ID/OR/WA EASTWARD TO EASTERN MT OR NORTHEASTERN WY.
THE LOW WILL CONSOLIDATE NEAR THE ID/OR/WA CONFLUENCE THU NIGHT AND
WILL SLOWLY FILL FRI WHILE A RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE SOUTHERN AND
CENTRAL ROCKIES. THE RIDGE WILL CONTINUE BUILDING OVER THE REGION
SATURDAY BEFORE DECREASING IN AMPLITUDE SUNDAY. MON THE FORECAST
AREA WILL BE IN A DEFORMATION ZONE BETWEEN STORM SYSTEMS. AT THE
SURFACE...CYCLOGENESIS WILL OCCUR OVER EASTERN CO TUE NIGHT. THE
SURFACE LOW WILL WOBBLE AROUND AND SLOWLY FILL WED AS IT MOVES VERY
SLOWLY SOUTHWARD. THE LOW WILL MOVE EASTWARD OVER THE SOUTHERN HIGH
PLAINS WED NIGHT AS IT CONTINUES FILLING. WITH THE SURFACE FRONTAL
ZONE FORECAST TO STALL JUST TO THE SOUTH OF WY TUE NIGHT AND
WED...AND PLENTY OF MOISTURE OVERRUNNING THE LOW LEVEL
BOUNDARY...WILL KEEP GOOD CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION IN FOR WED. WED
WILL ALSO BE COOL WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES ONLY REACHING THE 40S TO
UPPER 50S. LATEST MODEL RUNS DEPICT DRIER AIR WORKING INTO SOUTHERN
WY THU AFTERNOON...BUT AM HESITANT TO PULL POPS ENTIRELY WHEN
CONSIDERING THE GENERALLY MOIST LOW LEVEL UPSLOPE STILL IN PLACE.
TEMPS THU WILL MODERATE A BIT BUT WILL STILL BE ON THE COOL SIDE OF
NORMAL. TEMPS FRI AND SAT WILL CONTINUE TO MODERATE SLOWLY WITH LOW
LEVEL UPSLOPE IN PLACE EAST OF THE LARAMIE RANGE. WILL KEEP LOW POPS
IN EAST OF THE MOUNTAINS FOR BOTH FRI AND SAT. SUN AND MON LOOK TO
BE DRY WITH HIGH TEMPS REACHING THE MID 50S TO MID 60S OUTSIDE THE
MOUNTAINS.
