AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DENVER CO
220 PM MDT SAT MAY 30 2009

.SHORT TERM...FOR TONIGHT A WEAK WEST TO NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT
WILL BE OVER THE CWFA WITH THE UPPER RIDGE AXIS SHIFTED TO THE
EAST.  SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE MTNS SHOULD
START SPILLING OUT INTO THE URBAN CORRIDOR AND ADJACENT PLAINS LATE
THIS AFTN AND EVNG.  MODIFIED DEN SOUNDING FM 12Z THIS MRNG STILL
SHOWS SOME GOOD INSTBY WITH CAPES AROUND 1500 J/KG.  A WEAK FRONTAL
BOUNDARY HAS MOVED INTO THE NORTHEAST PLAINS EARLIER TODAY.  SHALLOW
UPSLOPE MAY CONFINE THE TSTMS TO AREAS ALONG THE FRONT RANGE...BUT
THIS SHOULD BREAK DOWN BY THIS EVENING.  AS A RESULT...SCT TSTMS
SHUD SPREAD INTO THE URBAN CORRIDOR AND ADJACENT PLAINS THIS
EVENING.  ON SUNDAY...THE FLOW ALOFT WILL BE MORE SOUTHWESTERLY WITH
THE GFS/NAM INDICATING A WEAK SHORT WAVE OVER WRN NEW MX MIGRATING
INTO WRN AND NRN CO SUNDAY AFTN.  FCST CAPES IN THE AFTN SHOULD BE
AROUND 1000 J/KG IN THE AFTN ALONG THE URBAN CORRIDOR...SO WL AGAIN
KEEP SCT TSTMS IN THE GRIDS FOR SUNDAY.

.LONG TERM...WEAK UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL BE OVER UTAH AND WESTERN
COLORADO WITH WEAK SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT OVER THE FORECAST AREA
SUNDAY EVENING. CAPES WILL BE 300 TO 1000 J/KG AND DEW POINTS WILL
BE IN THE 40S TO LOWER 50S SUNDAY EVENING. THIS SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO
HAVE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE EVENING. MOST OF THE
CONVECTION WILL DIE OFF BY MIDNIGHT BUT WILL KEEP LOW CHANCES FOR
SHOWERS OVERNIGHT SUNDAY AND MONDAY MORNING. THE MODELS WANT TO HANG
ON TO SOME LIGHT PRECIPITATION DURING THIS TIME. PLUS THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT BEFORE NOON IS LIKELY OVER THE MOUNTAINS. MOISTURE AND
INSTABILITY INCREASE MONDAY AFTERNOON AS THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
NEARS THE FORECAST AREA. BECAUSE OF THIS...HAVE INCREASED POPS FOR
MONDAY AFTERNOON AND MONDAY EVENING. A COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE
AREA MONDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING WILL ALSO HELP SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS FORM. LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL BECOME AN UPSLOPE
NORTHEASTERLY DIRECTION MONDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUES INTO TUESDAY.
MODELS INDICATE OVERCAST SKIES AND STRATIFORM PRECIPITATION FOR LATE
MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY WITH COOL TEMPERATURES. TEMPERATURES AT
800MB ON TUESDAY STAY IN THE 4 TO 8 C RANGE WHICH SHOULD KEEPS HIGHS
IN THE 50S.

AFTER A COOL NIGHT TUESDAY...WEDNESDAY WILL BE WARMER AS HIGH
PRESSURE CLEARS OUT THE CLOUDS. BY AFTERNOON...THE GFS SHOWS SOME
WEAK CAPE SO WILL HAVE LOW POPS IN THE FORECAST FOR WEAK
CONVECTION. UPPER LEVEL RIDGE REBUILDS OVER THE GREAT BASIN
WEDNESDAY AND WILL SLOWLY PROGRESS EAST. MODELS DISAGREE ON HOW FAST
THIS RIDGE SHIFTS EAST. GENERALLY...FLOW ALOFT WILL BE WESTERLY
THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. MODELS SHOW SOME MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY
PASSING THROUGH THE RIDGE EACH DAY. THEREFORE...WILL KEEP THE
MENTION OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST THROUGH
SATURDAY. DUE TO THE LACK OF ANY ORGANIZED ACTIVITY WILL KEEP POPS
IN THE SLIGHT CHANCE CATEGORY.

&&

.AVIATION...WEAK ENELY SFC WINDS WILL TRANSITION TO SLY AFTER 02Z.
STILL EXPECT TSTMS TO DEVELOP IN THE URBAN CORRIDOR BY LATE THIS
AFTN.  VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL WITH PSBL MVFR CONDITIONS DVLPG
WITH THE TSTMS.  STORMS SHOULD DIMINISH AFTER 04Z...WITH ANOTHER
ROUND OF TSTMS POSSIBLE FOR SUNDAY AFTN.
