AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DENVER CO
345 AM MDT WED APR 19 2006

.SHORT TERM DISCUSSION...DEEP LOW OVER SOUTH DAKOTA HAS WARM
ADVECTION CLOUDINESS WRAPPED ALL THE WAY AROUND IT NOW AND THESE
CLOUDS WILL CLIP NORTHEASTERN COLORADO THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
TIGHTER LOW LEVEL PRESSURE GRADIENT ALSO WILL BE TRANSLATING BACK
ACROSS NEBRASKA TODAY. NOT TOO SURE HOW MUCH OF THIS WILL GET INTO
COLORADO...BUT IT DOES LOOK LIKE WE NEED MORE WIND ON THE NORTHERN
BORDER. NOT ANY MORE THAN YESTERDAY THOUGH. ONLY MINOR CHANGES
OTHERWISE. APPROACHING RED FLAG CONDITIONS IN LINCOLN COUNTY THIS
AFTERNOON...BUT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL NOT QUITE MEET THE CRITERIA.

.LONG TERM DISCUSSION...UPPER LEVEL RIDGING ALOFT WITH DRY AIR AND
GRADUAL WARMING WILL DOMINATE COLORADO WEATHER THROUGH THE END OF
THE WORK WEEK.  PRESSURE GRADIENTS WILL ALSO RELAX...ALLOWING FOR
LESS WIND.  ALTHOUGH TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB BACK ABOVE SEASONAL
NORMALS...HUMIDITY LEVELS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO GET TOO DRY...SO NO
FIRE WEATHER HIGHLIGHTS ARE EXPECTED.  GFS AND ECMWF UPPER AIR
SOLUTIONS ARE QUITE SIMILAR OVER THE WESTERN U.S. THROUGH THE
WEEKEND.  BY SUNDAY...AN UPPER TROUGH WILL BE MOVING OVER THE DESERT
SOUTHWEST WITH A SURFACE COLD FRONT MOVING INTO NORTHEAST COLORADO
FROM THE NORTH.  BY MONDAY...THE GFS SURFACE PRESSURE PATTERN
INDICATES THAT GULF MOISTURE MAY ADVECT INTO EASTERN COLORADO AND
COMBINE WITH A STALLED SURFACE FRONT TO PRODUCE A CHANCE OF
CONVECTIVE SHOWERS.  FOR NOW...WILL STICK WITH LOW POPS FROM SUNDAY
THROUGH TUESDAY AS THE SURFACE FRONT...UPPER TROUGHINESS AND
POSSIBLE GULF MOISTURE COULD RESULT IN SOME UNSETTLED WEATHER ACROSS
THE FORECAST AREA.  WILL JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE BEFORE ADDING ANY
MORE DETAILS.
