315 PM MDT FRI JUN 22 2007

.SHORT TERM...SPC HAS ISSUED A SVR TSTM WATCH NO.444 FOR NERN CO
EXCLUDING THE FRONT RANGE URBAN CORRIDOR COUNTIES. ROBUST STORM
DVLPMNT ALREADY UNDERWAY ALONG THE CO/WY BORDER...OVER NRN WELD CTY
AND ACROSS ELBERT AND LINCOLN COUNTIES. GUSTS TO AROUND 45KTS
RECENTLY OBSERVED WITH STORMS IN THE CHEYENNE AREA. STORM
ENVIRONMENT GENERALLY EAST OF A ROGGEN (WELD CTY) TO ELBERT (ELBERT
CTY) LINE QUITE UNSTABLE WITH SFC DEWPTS IN THE 54-62F RANGE. AS
STORMS DRIFT EAST INTO THE HIGHER DEWPT AIR WHERE FORECAST SOUNDINGS
INDICATE 0-3KM CAPE VALUES IN THE 1800-3400 J/KG RANGE...SHOULD SEE
A SIGNIFICANT LOWERING OF CLOUD BASES AND A STEP UP IN STORM
INTENSITY. STG/DAMAGING OUTFLOW WNDS APPEAR TO BE THE GREATEST SVR
WX RISK...BUT AS STORMS BUILD/INTENSIFY AS THEY MOVE E-SEWRD THE
POTENTIAL FOR LARGE HAIL WILL INCREASE. FURTHERMORE WITH STORM
MOTIONS GENERALLY UNDER 15KTS...HVY RAINFALL ALSO POSSIBLE WITH
RAINFALL AMTS ON THE ORDER OF 1 TO 2 INCHES WITH IPW VALUES UP
AROUND 0.85 INCH AT THIS TIME. DIFFICULT TO PICK OUT THE WEAK
MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE WHICH THE 12Z AND 18Z/NAM RUNS SHOW SWINGING
SEWRD OVER NERN CO AROUND 00Z/SAT. PASSAGE OF THIS WAVE WILL
INCREASE SHEAR ALOFT AND CONSEQUENTLY STORM STRUCTURE. WHEREAS
CONDITIONS NOT AS MOIST NOR AS UNSTABLE FROM THE FRONT RANGE
CORRIDOR WESTWARD. MAY STILL SEE A FEW HIGH BASED GUSTY STORMS IN
THESE AREAS BUT MOST SHOULD DISSIPATE BEFORE SUNSET.

ON SATURDAY...MODELS INDICATE DRAMATIC DRYING AT ALL LEVELS BY
MORNING AS THE UPPER RIDGE OUT WEST BEGINS TO ARCH OVER THE FRONT
RANGE. WINDS ALOFT BECOME N-NELY WHILE LOW LEVEL WINDS COME OUT OF
THE S/SE. MAY STILL SEE WEAK CONVECTION OVER HIGHER ELEVATIONS
DURING THE AFTERNOON...WHILE THE AIRMASS OVER THE PLAINS LOOKS STGLY
CAPPED FOR MOST OF THE DAY. 1-2C WARMING ALOFT AND ADDITIONAL
SUNSHINE SHOULD SEND MAX TEMPS BACK UP INTO THE LOWER/MID 90S AT
LOWER ELEVATIONS.

.LONG TERM...FROM SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...THE UPPER RIDGE
AXIS PUSHES SLOWLY EASTWARD OUT OF THE FORECAST AREA BY LATE
MONDAY.  THE FLOW ALOFT REMAINS QUITE WEAK THROUGH THE PERIOD.

NIGHT INTO SUNDAY.  ON MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT THE QG VERTICAL
VELOCITY FIELDS HAVE WEAK UPWARD MOTION FOR THE FORECAST AREA.  THE
LOW LEVEL PRESSURE AND WIND FIELDS HAVE SOUTH-SOUTHEASTERLY BOUNDARY
LAYER FLOW OVER THE PLAINS OF THE FORECAST AREA BOTH SUNDAY AND
MONDAY.  FOR MOISTURE...THERE IS SOME SATURDAY EVENING.  SUNDAY IS A
BIT DRIER.  MONDAY IS PRETTY DRY TOO.  THE NAM BOUNDARY LAYER DEW
POINT FIELDS HAVE MID 40S TO MID 50S F SATURDAY EVENING.  MAINLY 40S
F FOR LATE DAY SUNDAY.  BY LATE MONDAY THERE ARE 50S F OVER THE
EASTERN PLAINS...30S F UP AGAINST THE FOOTHILLS.  THE THETA-E AXIS
IS MAINLY SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST OF THE FORECAST AREA SATURDAY EVENING
BUT NOSING INTO OUR AREA SOMEWHAT.  ON SUNDAY THERE IS A WEAK AXIS
OVER EASTERN COLORADO.  ITS BETTER ON MONDAY BUT OVER THE EASTERN
BORDER AREA ONLY.  THERE IS SOME CAPE SATURDAY EVENING/...THE BEST
OVER THE NORTHEAST CORNER.  THERE IS LESS LATE DAY SUNDAY...THE BEST
OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND FOOTHILLS...NEARLY NOTHING OVER THE
NORTHEAST.  LATE DAY MONDAY THE BEST CAPE IS OVER THE EASTERN BORDER
AREAS...NOT MUCH OVER THE WESTERN FORECAST AREA.  THE QPF FIELDS
HAVE VERY LIMITED MEASURABLE RAINFALL LATE SUNDAY AND MONDAY WITH
NONE SATURDAY EVENING.  WILL MAINLY GO WITH 10% POPS IN PARTS OF THE
FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND MONDAY...ESPECIALLY
CONSIDERING CONVECTIVE COVERAGE RIGHT NOW WITH TODAY HAVING THE BEST
CONDITIONS.  FOR TEMPERATURES...SUNDAYS HIGH LOOK 1-2 C WARMER THAN
SATURDAYS.  MONDAY IS 0.5-1.5 C WARMER AGAIN.

FOR THE LATER DAYS...TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...MODELS HAVE THE UPPER
RIDGE FLATTENING OUT LATE MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY AS AN UPPER CLOSED
LOW MOVES EAST ACROSS THE SOUTHERN CANADIAN PLAINS.  FOR WEDNESDAY
THROUGH FRIDAY...THE UPPER RIDGE BUILDS BACK IN WITH ITS AXIS TO
