Area forecast discussion, May 18, 2:24 PM MDT, 4 hours 5 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHEYENNE WY 224 PM MDT TUE MAY 18 2010 .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY SHORTWAVE PRESENTLY MOVING NORTHEAST INTO CO IS ENHANCING THE LIFT FOR CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON. OTHER FACTORS FOR SEVERE WEATHER THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING ARE SUFFICIENT LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG THE LARAMIE RANGE...SOUTHEAST LOW LEVEL TRANSPORT OF 50-DEGREE DEW POINTS...AND LEFT FRONT QUADRANT JET DIVERGENCE COINCIDING WITH FAVORABLE DIFFLUENT FLOW. THERMODYNAMIC INSTABILITIES WILL PEAK DURING THE MID-LATE AFTERNOON WITH LIFTED INDICES OF -2 TO -4C AND SURFACE-BASED CAPES FROM 500 TO 1000 J/KG. WHILE SHEAR WILL BE LIMITED FOR ROTATING UPDRAFTS AND SUPERCELLS...IT WILL BE SUFFICIENT FOR SOME MULTICELL STORMS PRODUCING DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST WY. THE BEST THREAT FOR ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL BE OVER EASTERN CO. THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL DIMINISH THIS EVENING...THEN TRANSITION TO MODERATE TO LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL POTENTIAL ON WEDNESDAY AS THE UPPER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MEANDERS OVER THE REGION. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WILL VARY FROM ONE HALF TO ONE INCH EAST OF THE LARAMIE RANGE. WITH COLDER AIR ALOFT ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER LOW...INSTABILITY WILL BE SUFFICIENT FOR ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS...ESPECIALLY DURING THE AFTERNOON. THE NUMERICAL MODELS CONTINUE TO DEPICT ONE HALF TO ONE INCH OF MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION THROUGH WEDNESDAY...BEFORE GRADUALLY TAPERING OFF WEDNESDAY NIGHT. QPF AMOUNTS HAVE TRENDED DOWN OVER THE SIERRA MADRE AND SNOWY RANGES...WHICH WILL ALLEVIATE THE RUNOFF FROM RAIN OVER THE SNOW PACK. THIS SITUATION WILL CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED CLOSELY DURING THE SHORT TERM. PRECIPITATION CHANCES DECREASE TO LESS THAN 10 PERCENT THURSDAY AFTERNOON AS AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS OVERHEAD AND CULPRIT UPPER TROUGH SHIFTS EAST OF THE REGION. IT WILL BE MILD TONIGHT IN ADVANCE OF THE FRONT AND UPPER LOW WITH 30S AND 40S. IT WILL BE ABOUT 10 DEGREES COOLER WEDNESDAY OWING TO CLOUD COVER AND PRECIPITATION. THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE SNOWY AND SIERRA RANGES COULD SEE UP TO A FEW INCHES OF SNOW THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. LOWS WEDNESDAY NIGHT WILL BE UP TO 5 DEGREES COOLER THAN TONIGHT. FINALLY...A DECENT MODERATION IN TEMPERATURES TO NEAR NORMAL ARE FORECAST FOR THURSDAY WITH THE UPPER RIDGE AND RISING 700MB TEMPS. && .LONG TERM...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY MILD AND UNSETTLED WEATHER FORECAST TO CONTINUE ACROSS THE AREA AS A LONG WAVE TROUGH WILL BE ANCHORED OVER THE NORTHERN ROCKIES AND WESTERN CONUS. THIS QUASI-STATIONARY TROUGH WILL EJECT PERIODIC SHORTWAVES OVER OUR AREA DURING THE PERIOD. WHILE THE MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN LARGE SCALE DUE TO THE PERSISTENCE OF THIS WEATHER SYSTEM...SMALL SCALE EVENTS WILL BE TRICKY TO FORECAST... ESPECIALLY TIMING THUNDERSTORMS AND CLOUD COVER IN THE LONG RANGE. AT THIS POINT...IT APPEARS THE BEST CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...WITH MORE ISOLATED ACTIVITY NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION ON THE OTHER DAYS. SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE PERIOD AS A SOUTHWEST FLOW REGIME IS FORECAST. THE CURRENT THOUGHT IS PRECIPITATION AND CLOUDS WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES FROM RISING TOO MUCH ABOVE NORMAL AT THIS TIME. PRECIPITATION WILL BE MAINLY IN THE FORM OF SHOWERS AND A FEW STORMS AS INSTABILITIES CONTINUE TO BE UNIMPRESSIVE. && .AVIATION...18Z TAF ISSUANCE MVFR CEILINGS EAST OF THE LARAMIE RANGE INTO THE WESTERN NEBRASKA PANHANDLE WILL GRADUALLY LIFT TO VFR THIS AFTERNOON. SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP AND MOVE FROM SOUTH TO NORTH ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. A FEW OF THE STORMS WILL BE STRONG TO SEVERE WITH GUSTY WINDS AND HAIL. OUTSIDE OF THE STORMS...WINDS WILL BE SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST 10-15 KT WITH GUSTS TO 30 KT AT TIMES. SHOWERS WILL LINGER INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...ESPECIALLY EAST OF THE LARAMIE RANGE AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM ALOFT DRIFTS EASTWARD. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE WEST AND SOUTHWEST OVER SOUTHEAST WY TONIGHT AS A PACIFIC COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE AREA. WITH AMPLE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IN PLACE... CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES WILL ONCE AGAIN LOWER TO MVFR EAST OF THE LARAMIE RANGE...AND PERSIST THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING. && .FIRE WEATHER... MODERATE TO HIGH FUEL MOISTURE...LOW FIRE DANGER AND ABOVE NORMAL RAIN CHANCES WILL PRECLUDE RED FLAG CONCERNS THROUGH WEDNESDAY. DRIER CONDITIONS AND WARMER TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. && .HYDROLOGY... AN UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND COLD FRONT WILL BRING WIDESPREAD RAINFALL TO THE EASTERN WYOMING PLAINS AND WESTERN NEBRASKA. THE LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE SHOWS FROM 0.50 TO 1.25 INCHES OF PRECIPITATION FROM THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT FOR AREAS ALONG AND EAST OF THE LARAMIE RANGE. RIVERS CONTINUE BELOW CAUTION STAGES AT THIS TIME...HOWEVER GRADUAL RISES ARE EXPECTED THIS WEEK.
