Severe Thunderstorm Warning 112, NWS Denver/Boulder, CO

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DENVER CO
250 PM MDT FRI JUL 3 2009

.SHORT TERM...SHORT WAVE CURRENTLY MOVING ACROSS CENTRAL COLORADO IS
ENHANCING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA.  AN EXTRA
EXTENSION OF THE SHORT WAVE SHOWN ON SATELLITE WHICH WAS NOT
CAPTURED BY MODELS IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THIS ACTIVITY THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. DEWPOINTS IN THE 50S AND 60S WILL HELP WITH
THE INSTABILITY. MOISTURE FROM THE SOUTHWEST CONTINUES TO RIDE OVER
THE RIDGE TO ADD TO THE AVAILABLE MOISTURE...CONTRIBUTING TO THE
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES OVER AN INCH THIS AFTERNOON. SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE MOVING OFF OF THE MOUNTAINS
AND FOOTHILLS ONTO THE PLAINS THIS EVENING. A THERMAL LOW OVER THE
KANSAS AND COLORADO BORDER WILL SERVE AS A FOCUS FOR LOW LEVEL
CONVERGENCE AND WITH ENOUGH SHEAR...A CHANCE EXISTS FOR SOME
THUNDERSTORMS TO REACH SEVERE CRITERIA OVER THE PLAINS ESPECIALLY AS
THE SHORTWAVE PASSES OVERHEAD LATE THIS AFTERNOON. THE SHEAR WILL
ALLOW THE STORMS TO POSSIBLY PRODUCE HEAVY RAIN...LARGE HAIL AND
STRONG GUSTY WINDS. A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH WILL BE IN EFFECT
THIS LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING FOR THE FAR EASTERN PLAINS AS A
RESULT. A COLD FRONT ON THE BACK OF THE SHORTWAVE WILL SLIDE SOUTH
OVER NORTHEASTERN COLORADO KEEPING PRECIP CHANCES THOUGH
MIDNIGHT...EVEN THOUGH GOOD QG DESCENT WILL BE OVER THE FORECAST
AREA. PRECIP SHOULD END SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT THOUGH AS THE
SUBSIDENT AIRMASS BEHIND THE COLD FRONT BECOMES DOMINANT.

UPSLOPE FLOW AFTER THE COLD FRONT WILL KEEP DEWPOINTS IN THE 50S AND
60S OVER THE PLAINS TOMORROW. MOISTURE ADVECTED FROM THE SOUTHWEST
WILL STILL BE OVER THE STATE AS WEAK UPPER DISTURBANCES BRING SOME
WEAK QG ASCENT.  ANOTHER ROUND OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE A FEW DEGREES COOLER TOMORROW FROM THE COLD
FRONT...BUT STILL STAY IN THE LOWER TO MID 80S.

.LONG TERM...MORE AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
CAN BE EXPECTED THROUGH SUNDAY.  THE ATMOSPHERE WILL REMAIN RATHER
UNSTABLE WITH DAYTIME HEATING AND EMBEDDED WEAK DISTURBANCES.  ONE
SUCH DISTURBANCE IS NOW SEEN OVER THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA/NEVADA
BORDER...AND PER THE Q-G VERTICAL MOTION FIELDS IS SHOWN TO REACH
THE FORECAST AREA SATURDAY NIGHT.  THIS SHOULD HELP STORM COVERAGE
SATURDAY EVENING...WHILE SUPERCELL POTENTIAL AND SEVERE WEATHER
THREAT ON THE PLAINS WILL BE SUPPORTED BY 0-6KM BULK SHEAR OF 20-25
M/S.

ON SUNDAY...BOTH THE NAM AND GFS WANT TO DRY IT OUT ALONG THE FRONT
RANGE AND SHIFT THE THETA-E AXIS EASTWARD ACROSS THE PLAINS.  THERE
IS SOME UNCERTAINTY WITH REGARD TO THIS AS HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE
CENTRAL PLAINS COULD PROMOTE STRONGER SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW AND A
DENVER CYCLONE WHICH WOULD HELP THE MOISTURE HOLD IN PLACE ACROSS
MOST OF THE FRONT RANGE.  AT THIS TIME...WILL HAVE TO BROADBRUSH THE
AREA WITH SCATTERED POPS GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY ON THE MESOSCALE
FEATURES AND AMOUNT OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE.  AGAIN...THERE WILL BE A
THREAT OF MORE SEVERE STORMS WITH SUFFICIENT SHEAR AND INSTABILITY.

BY MONDAY...THE AIRMASS SHOULD BEGIN TO STABILIZE AND WARM ALOFT AS
UPPER RIDGE BEGINS TO AMPLIFY JUST A BIT.  HOWEVER...WE ARE STILL IN
NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT SO LOW POPS ARE STILL JUSTIFIED...ESPECIALLY
WITH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE LURKING OVER THE PLAINS.

TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY WILL FEATURE MUCH DRIER AND WARMER SOUTHWEST
FLOW ALOFT.  TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO PUSH INTO THE 90S FOR
HIGHS ACROSS THE PLAINS WITH 700 MB READINGS RISING TO AROUND 20C.
ANY STORMS WILL BE HIGH BASED AND PRODUCE MAINLY GUSTY WINDS AND
ONLY LIGHT RAINFALL.  MOISTURE WILL HAVE A TENDENCY TO INCREASE
UNDER THE RIDGE SO STORM COVERAGE MAY INCREASE JUST SLIGHTLY BY THE
END OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE
THROUGH 02Z...WITH CEILINGS OVERALL EXPECTED TO REMAIN ABOVE 6000
FEET. WINDS WILL TURN NORTHERLY AROUND 03Z AS A COLD FRONT SLIDES
SOUTH OVER THE FORECAST AREA. AIRMASS WILL DRY OUT AFTER 06Z
HOWEVER.

&&

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