AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DENVER CO
300 PM MDT MON MAY 25 2009

.SHORT TERM...AREA OF QG LIFT AND SURFACE BOUNDARY OVER EASTERN
COLORADO ARE MOVING EAST A BIT MORE SLOWLY THAN EXPECTED. BEST
INSTABILITY WAS AHEAD OF THE WIND SHIFT AND IN AREAS BEHIND IT THAT
RECEIVED SUNSHINE...SO IT APPEARS MOST OF OUR STRONG CONVECTION MAY
BE OVER. HOWEVER...THERE IS STILL SOME HEATING YET TO COME AND
CONVERGENCE BOUNDARIES MAY ENHANCE UPDRAFTS BRIEFLY SO STILL
EXPECTING SOME STORMS THAT COULD PRODUCE HEAVY RAIN AND SMALL HAIL
THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON. NORTH WINDS ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE
SURFACE TROUGH WILL BE INCREASING THIS EVENING. THERE WILL BE A
LITTLE COOLING ALOFT THAT MAY ALLOW SOME DEEP CONVECTION TO CONTINUE
THOUGH WITH LOW CAPES. WILL CONTINUE LIKELY POPS THIS EVENING FOR
THIS REASON. COULD SEE A SHIFT TO FAVORING AREAS SOUTH AND WEST OF
DENVER DUE TO THE WIND DIRECTION BUT THIS MAY BE MASKED BY THE
VARIOUS BOUNDARIES SO I WILL NOT GET TOO FANCY WITH THE DETAILS.
CLOUD COVER LIKELY TO PERSIST MOST OF THE NIGHT...COULD BE SOME FOG
WITH ENOUGH CLEARING BUT THINK THE ODDS ARE LOW. FOR TUESDAY THERE
MAY BE SOME LINGERING SHOWERS ALONG THE BORDER EARLY...THEN SLIGHTLY
DRIER AND COOLER AIR AT LOW LEVELS WILL MEAN A LOWER CHANCE OF
SHOWERS. STILL MAY BE SOME WEAK QG LIFT...AND EVENTUAL HEATING MEANS
THERE IS STILL A THREAT OF SHOWERS ALONG THE FRONT RANGE...LESS SO
FURTHER EAST WHERE LOW LEVELS WILL BE A BIT COOLER IN THE AFTERNOON.

.LONG TERM...MODELS HAVE THE WEAK UPPER TROUGH PUSHING EAST OF THE
FORECAST AREA TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY.  UPPER RIDGING IS MOVING
IN FROM THE WEST BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT CONTINUING INTO THE EXTENDED
PERIOD.  FLOW ALOFT IS PRETTY WEAK.  WEAK DOWNWARD VERTICAL VELOCITY
IS PROGGED FOR THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE PERIODS.  A FAIRLY WEAK
LOW LEVEL PRESSURE GRADIENT IS PROGGED OVER THE FORECAST AREA
THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH THE BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW STAYING WEAK
UPSLOPING FOR THE PLAINS MUCH OF THE TIME.  FOR MOISTURE...THERE IS
DEEP MOISTURE OVER THE MOUNTAINS TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY ON THE
NAM...BUT ONLY ON TUESDAY NIGHT ON THE GFS.  THERE IS SOME LOW AND
MID LEVEL MOISTURE OVER THE PLAINS TUESDAY NIGHT...BUT BOTH MODELS
DRY IT OUT BY WEDNESDAY.  IT STAYS FAIRLY DRY OVER THE PLAINS
THROUGH LATE DAY THURSDAY.  AT LEAST COMPARED TO THIS CURRENT
SITUATION WE HAVE.   THE NAM DRIES OUT THE MOUNTAINS BY WEDNESDAY
NIGHT...CONTINUING ON THURSDAY.  BOUNDARY LAYER DEW POINTS ARE IN
THE MID 30S TO LOWER 40S F TUESDAY NIGHT FOR THE PLAINS AND LOWER
FOOTHILLS.  FOR WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING...DEW POINTS OVER
THE PLAINS STAY IN THE 30S F.  PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUE PROGGS ARE
IN THE 0.60-0.70 INCH RANGE TUESDAY NIGHT...THEN IN THE 0.45-0.55
INCH RANGE WEDNESDAY THROUGH LATE DAY THURSDAY.  LAPSE RATES SHOW A
DECENT CAP IN PLACE OVER THE PLAINS TUESDAY EVENING.  FOR LATE DAY
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...LAPSE RATES ARE FAIRLY STEEP FOR MUCH OF
THE FORECAST AREA.  THERE IS LITTLE IN THE WAY OF ANY THETA-E AXIS
OVER THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE PERIODS.  PERHAPS A BIT OF ONE
GETTING INTO CENTRAL COLORADO FROM THE SOUTH ON THURSDAY.   THERE IS
A LITTLE BIT OF CAPE FOR THE WESTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA
TUESDAY EVENING...ABOUT THE SAME FOR LATE DAY WEDNESDAY.  BY LATE
DAY THURSDAY...THERE IS STILL LOW CAPE VALUES AROUND BUT THEY COVER
MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA.  THE QPF FIELDS HAVE A TAD OF MEASURABLE
RAINFALL ON TUESDAY EVENING...MAINLY OVER THE MOUNTAINS.  JUST A TAD
OVER THE WESTERN FORECAST AREA LATE DAY WEDNESDAY AND LATE DAY
THURSDAY.  FOR POPS...WILL KEEP 10-30%S IN THE MOUNTAINS TUESDAY
EVENING AND LATE DAY WEDNESDAY...THEN 10-20%S FOR LATE DAY
THURSDAY.  OVER THE PLAINS...0-10%S THROUGH THE PERIODS SHOULD
SUFFICE.  FOR TEMPERATURES...WEDNESDAYS HIGHS ARE 2-5 C WARMER THAN
TUESDAYS.  THURSDAYS WARM UP 2-3 C OVER WEDNESDAYS.   FOR THE
LATER DAYS...FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...MODELS KEEP AN UPPER RIDGE OVER
THE FORECAST AREA FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY.  FOR THE REST OF SATURDAY
THROUGH MONDAY...THEY HAVE A FLAT RIDGE...WITH MAYBE EVEN HINTING AT
WEAK UPPER TROUGHING.  THE GFS HAS A COLD FRONT MOVING INTO THE
PLAINS SUNDAY NIGHT.  WELL SEE.  TEMPERATURES ARE A BIT ABOVE
NORMALS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...NEAR NORMALS SUNDAY AND MONDAY.  WILL
GO WITH PRETTY LOW POPS AT THIS TIME.

&&

.AVIATION...MORE THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIKELY DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON
AND EVENING WHICH WILL LIKELY GIVE PERIODS OF MVFR CEILINGS/
VISIBILITIES. THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE OF IFR CONDITIONS. SHOWER
ACTIVITY WILL DIMINISH OVERNIGHT BUT THE LOW CLOUDS WILL PERSIST.
IMPROVING CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED WEDNESDAY MORNING THOUGH THEY MAY
STILL BE BELOW 5000 FEET AGL.

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