159 PM MDT THU JUN 4 2009

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...
STORMS FIRING NOW PRIMARILY OVER THE COLORADO MTNS WITH MORE
ISOLATED ACTIVITY OVER THE SE WY MTNS.  LATEST ANALYSIS SHOWS SOME
MODEST INSTABILITY OVER THE AREA WITH LIS AND CAPES SIMILAR TO
YESTERDAY. UPPER WINDS STRONGER BUT MORE UNIDIRECTIONAL AND WITH
WEAK LOW LEVEL WINDS SEVERE THREAT SOMEWHAT INCREASED BUT NOT TOO
IMPRESSIVE.  ALSO MUCH OF THE PANHANDLE IS FAIRLY WELL CAPPED NOW
AND MAY NOT BREAK IT WITH LACK OF ANY BOUNDARIES THUS CONVECTION MAY
HAVE A HARD TIME MAKING IT THERE.  STORMS THAT DO FORM WILL MOVE ESE
THUS SOUTHERN PORTION OF CWA HAS BEST CHANCE FOR STORMS INTO EARLY
THIS EVENING WITH ACTIVITY EXPECTED TO DIMINISH DURING THE EVENING
WITH LOSS OF HEATING.

FRIDAY LOOKS TO BE A BETTER DAY FOR STRONG STORMS PARTICULARLY OVER
THE SOUTHERN CWA AS SURFACE COLD FRONT MOVES SOUTH ACROSS THE CWA
FRIDAY MORNING AND INCREASES LOW LEVEL EASTERLY WINDS/UPSLOPE
RESULTING IN BETTER SHEAR VALUES.  BEST CHANCES WILL BE CLOSE TO THE
COLORADO BORDER. NOT MUCH COOLING EXPECTED WITH THE FRONT. MEANWHILE
UPPER RIDGE AXIS WILL SHIFT ACROSS THE REGION FRIDAY WITH UPPER FLOW
BACKING TO SW FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY.  THIS ALONG WITH DEPARTING
SURFACE HIGH SHOULD ALLOW FOR SURFACE BOUNDARY TO PULL BACK EAST
SATURDAY AND LIKELY SERVE AS A FOCUSING MECHANISM FOR CONVECTION
SATURDAY AFTERNOON.  TEMPERATURES WARMER SATURDAY IN RETURN FLOW.

.LONG TERM...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...
GENERALLY UNSETTLED CONDITIONS WITH COOLER THAN NORMAL
TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE LONG TERM PERIOD. THE BEST CHANCES FOR
PRECIPITATION APPEAR TO BE DURING THE SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT
PERIOD AS AN UPPER LEVEL LOW EJECTS OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST UNITED
STATES. ACCOMPANYING THE UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM WILL BE A COLD FRONT
MOVING SOUTH ACROSS THE AREA SUNDAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN SURFACE
HIGH PRESSURE...DRY AND COOLER CONDITIONS FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK.
MONDAY WILL BE 10 TO 15 DEGREES COOLER THAN NORMAL...WITH A
WARMING TREND BACK TO JUST A FEW DEGREES BELOW NORMAL BY MIDWEEK.
UPPER LEVEL WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BACK TO A SOUTHWEST DIRECTION BY
THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK CREATING INCREASED CHANCES FOR AFTERNOON
AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS.
