AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DENVER CO
300 PM MDT FRI JUN 18 2010

.SHORT TERM...CURRENT VISIBLE SATELLITE SHOWS JUST A FEW CUMULUS
POPPING UP ACROSS THE FRONT RANGE.  CONVECTIVE TEMP OFF THE ACARS
SOUNDINGS IS NEAR 85F...AND WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO REACH THIS LATER
THIS AFTERNOON.  CURRENT LAPS ANALYSIS SHOWS ABOUT 500-1000 J/KG
CAPE ALONG THE FRONT RANGE...BUT THESE WILL LOWER AS WE HIT THE
CONVECTIVE TEMPS AND HIGHER SURFACE DEWPOINTS EVAPORATE.  WE STILL
CANT TOTALLY RULE OUT AN ISOLATED STORM THIS EVENING AS TAIL END OF
UPPER JET MOVES ACROSS WITH WEAK Q-G SUPPORT...BUT AS LOW LEVEL JET
ADVECTS MOISTURE ACROSS THE NORTHEAST PLAINS LATER THIS EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT THE MAIN THREAT OF AN ISOLATED STORM WOULD SHIFT THAT
WAY.  WILL KEEP THE MOUNTAINS AND URBAN CORRIDOR DRY FOR NOW.

ON SATURDAY...LOW LEVEL MOISTURE INCREASES FURTHER WITH CAPES OF
2000-3000 J/KG BY AFTERNOON OVER MUCH OF NORTHEAST COLORADO.  A DRY
LINE IS EXPECTED TO PULL UP SOMEWHERE JUST NORTH OF THE PALMER
DIVIDE BY AFTERNOON.  NORTH OF THE DRY LINE...THERE IS SOMEWHAT
COOLER AIR AND CONSIDERABLE CIN WHICH SHOULD PREVENT STORM
DEVELOPMENT.  HOWEVER...RIGHT ALONG THE DRY LINE THERE SHOULD BE A
NARROW CORRIDOR WHERE CIN IS MINIMIZED AND ISOLATED STORMS MAY
DEVELOP BY LATE AFTERNOON.  GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY...IF A
STORM DOES POP THROUGH THE CAP IT MAY BE SEVERE.  OTHER CONCERN
TOMORROW IS DRY SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT INCREASING FIRE DANGER OVER THE
MOUNTAINS AND PARK COUNTY.  HOWEVER...BOTH WINDS AND FUEL CONDITIONS
ARE MARGINAL SO NO RED FLAG WARNINGS NEEDED AT THIS TIME.

.LONG TERM...NEXT SEVERAL DAYS WILL BE MOSTLY DRY AND WARM AS A
MODERATE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT REMAINS IN PLACE.  THE UPPER AIR
PATTERN ACROSS THE U.S. WITH AN UPPER HIGH RIDGE OVER THE SOUTHEAST
AND TROUGHINESS OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST.  THIS WILL KEEP DRY
SOUTHWEST FLOW OVER THE DESERT SOUTHWEST.  MODELS SHOW 700 MB
TEMPERATURES OVER COLORADO REMAINING WARMER THAN +16C EACH AFTERNOON
WHICH SHOULD KEEP MOST...IF NOT ALL...AFTERNOON CONVECTION CAPPED.
MOS GUIDANCE SHOWS HIGH TEMPERATURES CLIMBING INTO THE LOWER 90S ON
SEVERAL DAYS IN THE FORECAST PERIOD.  THE LATEST INDICATIONS ARE
THAT SOME SORT OF COOL SURGE COULD MOVE IN FROM THE NORTHEAST ON
ABOUT TUESDAY OR WEDNEDSAY.  THIS MAY ENHANCE THE CHANCE FOR
AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWER ACTIVITY.  SINCE THIS IS STILL FIVE
DAYS OUT...WILL NOT SPEND TOO MUCH TIME TRYING TO PIN DOWN WHAT
TUESDAY OR WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON SHOWERS WILL BE LIKE.

FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS MAY EVENTUALLY INCREASE GIVEN THE LACK OF
PRECIPITATION ALLOWING FUELS IN THE MOUNTAINS TO BEGIN DRYING.  FOR
NOW WILL CONTINUE MONITORING THE STATE OF FUELS IN THE HIGH
COUNTRY.

&&

.AVIATION...DENVER CYCLONE DEVELOPING THIS AFTERNOON WILL BRING
SHIFTING WIND DIRECTIONS TO THE FRONT RANGE AIRPORTS.  KDEN IS
GUSTING OUT OF THE EAST BUT SHOULD SWITCH MORE NORTHWESTERLY AS
CYCLONE MATURES AND PULLS SLIGHTLY EASTWARD 22Z-02Z.  CHANCE OF
STORMS IS LESS THAN 10 PERCENT.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...HIGH FLOWS ARE WORKING THEIR WAY DOWN THE SOUTH PLATTE
RIVER TOWARD JULESBURG.  THE RIVER HAS CRESTED AT WELDONA AND
BALZAC...AND IS NOW MOVING DOWNSTREAM THROUGH STERLING AND TOWARD
JULESBURG.  FORECAST LEVELS SUGGEST MORE LOWLAND MEADOW AND FIELD
FLOODING ALONG THIS STRETCH.
