Area forecast discussion, Apr 23, 4:30 AM MDT, 6 hours 46 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DENVER CO
430 AM MDT FRI APR 23 2010

.SHORT TERM...DEEP LOW ORGANIZING OVER SOUTHEASTERN COLORADO AT THIS
TIME. NICE COMMA SHAPE TO THE CLOUDS/PRECIPITATION NOW WITH BACK
EDGE DEFORMATION TAKING SHAPE PARALLEL TO THE FRONT RANGE. ONLY
MINOR MODEL DIFFERENCES. GFS HAS A MORE ELONGATED TROUGH WITH THE
WARM FRONT FEATURE LIFTING UP TO THE STATE LINE TODAY BEFORE
DROPPING SOUTH AGAIN. NAM DOES NOT LIFT IT AS FAR NORTH. LOOKING AT
HOW THE CURRENT SHAPE COMPARES WITH THE MODEL FORECASTS...IT APPEARS
EITHER THE NAM OR A COMPROMISE IS THE WAY TO GO. EXPECT THE RAIN
BAND WILL ROTATE NORTHWEST A BIT FURTHER AND THEN STALL...IN PART
HELD IN PLACE BY CONVERGENCE ON THE EAST SLOPES OF THE MOUNTAINS.
INSTEAD OF A CLASSIC UPSLOPE FLOW...WE WILL HAVE A BARRIER JET
BECOMING MORE NNW AT THE SURFACE BY TONIGHT...OVERRUN BY THE DEEPER
NORTHEASTERLIES. THIS WILL LIKELY SHIFT THE HEAVIEST PRECIP OVER THE
LOWEST FOOTHILLS AND I-25 CORRIDOR ONCE THIS WIND PATTERN GETS WELL
ESTABLISHED...SO THE HEAVIEST SNOW IN THE HIGHER MOUNTAINS WILL
LIKELY BE TODAY AS THE DEFORMATION BAND REACHES ITS WESTERNMOST
POSITION. I WONT TRY TO PLAY OUT ALL THESE DETAILS WITH MUCH
CONFIDENCE...UPSHOT IS THAT WE SHOULD GET SIGNIFICANT RAIN IN DENVER
THROUGH TONIGHT. ON THE PLAINS THERE IS A BIT OF A DRY SLOT CLIPPING
THE EASTERN EDGE OF OUR AREA...BUT WITH THE LOW TO THE NORTH THE
SHOWERS SHOULD KEEP REDEVELOPING IN THIS AREA. SLIGHTLY LOWER POPS
AND GREATER THREAT OF THUNDER HERE. AS FOR THE SNOW LEVEL...REALLY
MOIST AIR ROTATING IN THIS MORNING WITH DEW POINTS AROUND 50 IN THE
NORTHEAST CORNER...SO TEMPERATURES SHOULD RISE TODAY WITH MOSTLY
RAIN BELOW 7000 FEET. STILL PLENTY MOIST WITH ONLY SLIGHT COOLING
OVERNIGHT. MODELS BRING THE FREEZING LEVEL DOWN TO AROUND 6000 FEET.
WITH THE WARM GROUND SUSPECT THERE WILL NOT BE MUCH IMPACT BELOW
ABOUT 5500 FEET...THOUGH A DEGREE OR TWO COLDER WOULD BRING DECENT
SNOW THROUGHOUT DENVER THAT COULD SLUSH THINGS UP. WILL PLAN ON A
SHARP GRADIENT IN ACCUMULATIONS BETWEEN 5500 AND 7000 FEET.

WE SHOULD HAVE A LOWER RISK OF INTENSE RAINFALL TODAY WITH CAPE
QUITE LIMITED...JUST A LONG SOAKING RAIN. ANY HYDROLOGIC IMPACT
WOULD PROBABLY BE LIMITED TO THE SOUTH PLATTE AS IT COLLECTS ALL THE
WATER...AND THEN ONLY IF THE RAINFALL IS QUITE A BIT MORE THAN WHAT
THE MODELS ARE SHOWING. GAUGE AT KERSEY CURRENTLY RUNING AROUND 4000
CFS AND FLOOD STAGE IS 13 THOUSAND SO PLENTY OF ROOM YET.

.LONG TERM...MODELS NOW SHOW THE UPPER CLOSED LOW OVER CENTRAL
KANSAS/SOUTHEASTERN NEBRASKA AT 12Z SATURDAY MORNING.  NORTHERLY
FLOW ALOFT IS PROGGED FOR THE FORECAST AREA SATURDAY MORNING...THEN
DECREASING AND BECOMING NORTHWESTERLY AT 00Z SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
WEAK NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT CONTINUES SATURDAY NIGHT.  THIS
NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT INCREASES A BIT THROUGH THE DAY SUNDAY.
AN UPPER TROUGH/CLOSED LOW OVER NORTH CENTRAL MONTANA MOVES SLOWLY
SOUTHEASTWARD SUNDAY NIGHT INTO THE NORTHERN GREAT PLAINS.  VERY
WEAK DOWNWARD MOTION IS PROGGED ON THE QG VERTICAL VELOCITY FIELDS
SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY MORNING.  A BRIEF SHOT OF WEAK UPWARD MOTION IS
PROGGED SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...MAINLY OVER THE EASTERN
FORECAST AREA.  THE BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW IS DOMINATED BY
NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ON SATURDAY.  WEAKER DOWNSLOPING IS PROGGED
SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY.  BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON...THERE IS SURGE OF
COOLER AIR AND UPSLOPE ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER FEATURE
NORTH-NORTHEAST OF COLORADO.  THE UPSLOPE LASTS SUNDAY AFTERNOON
AND EVENING.  FOR MOISTURE...BOTH THE GFS AND NAM FLUSH MOISTURE OUT
QUICKLY SATURDAY BY MID DAY.  THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT DEPARTURE FROM
YESTERDAY'S 00Z RUNS.  SOME MOISTURE LINGERS OVER THE HIGH MOUNTAINS
SATURDAY AFTERNOON...AND EVEN INCREASES A BIT SATURDAY NIGHT.  THERE
IS SOME MID AND UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE OVER THE PLAINS SATURDAY
NIGHT.  ON SUNDAY...MOISTURE INCREASES DURING THE AFTERNOON.  THE
NAM HAS PLENTY OF LOW AND MID LEVEL MOISTURE OVER THE PLAINS AND
FOOTHILLS SUNDAY NIGHT...THE GFS DOES NOT.  PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUES ARE IN THE 0.25 TO 0.40 INCH RANGE SATURDAY AND SATURDAY
NIGHT...THEN THE 0.35 TO 0.45 INCH RANGE SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT.
THERE IS NO CAPE AROUND THE FORECAST AREA SATURDAY OR SATURDAY
NIGHT.  BY LATE DAY SUNDAY...THERE IS SOME...MAINLY OVER WESTERN
PLAINS.  LAPSE RATE FIELDS SHOW FAIRLY STRONG CAPS IN PLACE SATURDAY
AND SUNDAY.  THE QPF FIELDS HAVE SMALL AMOUNTS OF MEASURABLE
PRECIPITATION SATURDAY THROUGH MID AFTERNOON...WITH THE MOST OVER
THE EASTERN BORDER AREAS.  THERE IS A BIT OVER THE HIGH MOUNTAINS
SATURDAY NIGHT.  BOTH MODELS HAVE A TAD OVER MUCH OF THE FORECAST
AREA BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND SUNDAY NIGHT.  THE NAM HAS A BIT MORE
THAN THE GFS.  FOR POPS...WILL KEEP THEM EARLY SATURDAY...THEN
DECREASE THEM QUICKLY BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON.  FOR SATURDAY NIGHT AND
SUNDAY...WILL KEEP "CHANCE"S GOING IN THE MOUNTAINS WITH MOISTURE
AND OROGRAPHIC ENHANCEMENT IN MIND.  BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT
WILL PUT SOME MINIMAL POPS IN OVER THE PLAINS...AND KEEP THE
"CHANCE"S OF SNOW GOING IN THE MOUNTAINS.  FOR TEMPERATURES...
SATURDAY'S HIGHS ARE 1-3 C WARMER THAN TODAY'S.  SUNDAY'S READINGS
WARM-UP ANOTHER 1-3 C MORE.  FOR THE LATER DAYS...MONDAY THROUGH
THURSDAY...MODELS HAVE STRONG NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT ON
MONDAY...THEN UPPER RIDGING MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY NIGHT.
INCREASING SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT IS THEN PROGGED TUESDAY NIGHT
AND WEDNESDAY.  A BROAD UPPER TROUGH MOVES IN WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND
THURSDAY ALONG WITH A COLDER AIRMASS AND INCREASING MOISTURE.
TEMPERATURES LOOK TO BE SLIGHTLY BELOW THE NORMALS MONDAY...NEAR
NORMAL TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...THEN BELOW NORMAL FOR THURSDAY.  POPS
WILL BE MINIMAL RIGHT NOW.

.AVIATION...MVFR CONDITIONS IN RAIN EXPECTED THROUGH THIS EVENING
WITH IMPROVEMENT EITHER LATE TONIGHT OR EARLY SATURDAY MORNING.
