AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DENVER CO
300 AM MDT THU JUN 05 2008

.SHORT TERM...WELL DEFINED LOW CIRCULATION SHOWN ON SATELLITE ACROSS
SOUTHERN UTAH ATTM AND HEADING EAST TOWARDS THE 4 CORNERS REGION.
PRECIP HAS BEEN HAVING HARD TIME SPREADING EAST OVERNIGHT BUT AS LOW
SLIDES EASTWARD EXPECT PRECIP SHEILD WILL EXPAND TO COVER MUCH OF
NERN CO THIS MORNING. STRONG QG ASCENT ACROSS ENTIRE CWA AS 100KT
JET ROUNDS THE BASE OF TROF AND IS NOSING INTO SERN CO. THE UPPER
LOW EXPECTED TO LIFT RAPILDY INTO NEBRASKA LATER THIS AFTN ALONG
WITH SFC TROF. PRECIP SHOULD BEGIN TO DIMINISH OVER THE FRONT RANGE
AS SFC WINDS INCREASE FROM THE NW AND LOOSE UPSLOPE FLOW. THERE WILL
BE SOME EBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS TODAY BUT OVERALL SEVERE THREAT IS
MUCH LOWER TODAY WITH DECREASES SHEAR AND INSTABILTY. HOWEVER...AS
LOW WRAPS UP OVER NEBRASKA SOME HEAVIER SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS
FAR NERN CO. THOUGHT ABOUT FLASH FLOOD WATCH ON THE PLAINS WITH
CURRENT HEAVY RAINS HAD FALLEN ACROSS MUCH OF MORGAN AND PORTIONS OF
NRN WASHINGTON COUNTIES. HOWEVER HARD TO TELL HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL
HEAVY RAIN WILL REALLY FALL AND WILL IT BE OVER LOCALLY SATURATED
GROUNDS?  QPF FIELDS ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE ON THE NAM/GFS BUT
APPEAR THE HEAVIEST RAIN ZONED IN ACROSS NEBRASKA PANHANDLE. WILL
LET DAY SHIFT MONITOR FOR POTENTIAL FLOODING AS FEEL FLOODING WOULD
BE QUITE LOCALIZED. ALREADY HAVE A FLOOD WARNING COVERING MORGAN
COUNTY UNTIL 6 AM FOR STANDING WATER ACROSS LOW LYING AREAS AND WILL
ASSES THAT AREA TOWARDS DAWN.

AS FOR PRECIP AND SNOW CHANCES IN THE MTNS...THE NW ORGRAPHIC FLOW
DOES NOT REALLY KICK IN UNTIL LATER THIS AFTN AND TNT BETTER MSTR
AND 10-15KT FLOW. WITH RELATIVELY WARM TEMPS(700MB TEMP AROUND 0C.
WILL KEEP AMOUNTS BLO ADVISORY LVL. WILL CONTINUE TO WIND PRECIP
DOWN TNT FROM WEST TO EAST...EXCEPT MTNS WHERE PRECIP WILL CONTINUE
MUCH OF THE NIGHT BEHIND THE TROF.

.LONG TERM...FLOW WILL BE ZONAL AND THEREFORE MAINLY WARM AND DRY
THROUGH MONDAY...WITH MAINLY HIGH CLOUDS MOVING THROUGH THE ZONAL
FLOW.  THERE ARE SOME QUESTIONS ON WHETHER LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ON THE
PLAINS WILL PLAY A CONVECTIVE ROLE...ALTHOUGH IT LOOKS MOSTLY
CAPPED.  WILL LEAVE GOING FORECAST FOR ISOLATED TRW SUNDAY AND
MONDY.  THE NEXT TROUGH LOOKS LIKE IT WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE STATE ON
TUESDAY...WITH A SHORT BUT ABRUPT DROP IN TEMPS...SO HAVE ADJUSTED
MAX TEMPS DOWNWARD...CLOUDS UPWARD AND PUT IN ISOLD POPS.

&&

.AVIATION...QUITE VARIED CEILINGS EARLY THIS AM RANGING FROM IFR TO
VFR. AS PRECIP BECOMES WIDESPREAD THIS AM CIGS WILL BECOME MORE IFR.
ISOLD TSRA EMBEDDED AS LOW MOVES ACROSS THE REGION. CIGS WILL
IMPROVE THIS AFTN AS SFC WINDS INCREASE FROM THE NW.
&

.BOU WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE.
