AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DENVER CO
319 PM MDT SUN JUL 10 2011

.SHORT TERM...PATTERN REMAINS QUITE STAGNANT AS SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE
IN WSW FLOW ALOFT CONTINUES OVER THE AREA THRU MONDAY. LAPS ANALYSIS
SHOW CAPES OF 1000 TO UP TO 2200 J/KG NEAR THE NORTHEASTERN CORNER.
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEGUN THIS AFTERNOON AND HAVE ALREADY
PUT DOWN SEVERE STRENGTH WINDS...BRIEF HEAVY RAIN AND SMALL HAIL.
EXPECT THIS TO BE COMMON LATE THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA. SHORT TERM MODELS AGAIN SHOW A SECOND WAVE OF ACTIVITY THIS
EVENING ORIGINATING IN SOUTHWESTERN COLORADO. AS THIS HAS BEEN A
COMMON SCENARIO OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS AS WELL AS SEEING ENHANCEMENT
IN WATER VAPOR OVER SOUTHWEST CO...WILL EXPECT ANOTHER ROUND OF
SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS STORMS THIS EVENING. BETTER CAPES OVER THE
NORTHEASTERN CORNER WILL LIKELY ALLOW FOR STRONGER STORMS. BIGGEST
THREAT OVER THAT AREA WILL BE LARGE HAIL AND STRONG WINDS. WITH
FREEZING LEVELS STILL QUITE HIGH HOWEVER...NOT EXPECTING ANY LARGE
HAIL TO BE MUCH BIGGER THAN AN INCH OR SO. HAVE KEPT THE POPS GOING
OUT OVER THE NORTHEASTERN CORNER PAST MIDNIGHT AS CAPES REMAIN HIGH
AND PERSISTENCE HAS SHOWN OVERNIGHT ACTIVITY THERE. HAVE ALSO ADDED
A LITTLE MORE POPS OVER THE HIGH TERRAIN AS LOTS OF MOISTURE AND
WEAK DISTURBANCES IN THE FLOW MAY KICK OF A FEW SHOWERS OR
THUNDERSTORMS OVERNIGHT.

TOMORROW WILL SEE MORE OF THE SAME...HOWEVER WITH A LITTLE MORE
COVERAGE AS BOTH CAPES AND PWATS ARE PROGGED TO BE A BIT HIGHER.
HAVE BUMPED UP POPS SLIGHTLY TO REFLECT THIS. TEMPERATURES WILL BE
SLIGHTLY COOLER WITH CONTINUE LIGHT SURFACE WINDS...EXCEPT BELOW ANY
STORM.

.LONG TERM...HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT WILL BE OVER THE SOUTH CENTRAL U.S.
INTO THE LATER PART OF THE UPCOMING WEEK. THIS WILL KEEP A LIGHT
SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT OVER COLORADO. AIRMASS WILL BE QUITE MOIST
MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUE OF 1.0 TO 1.5
INCHES AND DEW POINTS IN THE 50S TO MID 60S OVER NORTHEAST COLORADO.
AIRMASS WILL ALSO BE UNSTABLE WITH CAPES OF 500-1500 J/KG. A SHORT
WAVE WILL PASS OVER THE AREA TUESDAY. PUT THIS ALL TOGETHER AND
TUESDAY IS LOOKING LIKE THE DAY WITH THE MOST THUNDERSTORMS AND THE
GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN AND LOCALIZED FLOODING. STORM
MOVEMENT WILL ALSO BE ON THE SLOW SIDE...SO A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MAIN
EVENTUALLY BE NEED FOR TUESDAY.

WEDNESDAY DRIES SOME...BUT MODELS ARE TRENDING TOWARDS MORE MOISTURE
WITH EACH PROGRESSIVE RUN. INCREASED POPS INTO THE SCATTERED
CATEGORY FOR THIS.

UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL INTENSIFY OVER THE CENTRAL PART OF THE U.S.
THURSDAY AND REMAIN OVER THE CENTRAL U.S. THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND. THIS
WILL BRINGING WARMER AIR TO THE AREA AND PUSH HIGHS INTO THE 90S
ACROSS NORTHEAST COLORADO. MODELS DRY THE AIRMASS SOME...MAINLY OVER
THE HIGH COUNTRY. MODELS HANGING ON TO THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE OVER
NORTHEAST COLORADO THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND. CONVECTION WILL BE LESS
THAN ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY BUT STILL EXPECT TO SEE ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

&&

.AVIATION...ONCE AGAIN WILL SEE SCATTERED TSTMS AFFECT THE AIRPORT
WITH BRIEF MVFR CONDITIONS AS STRONGER STORMS MOVE ACROSS.
TEMP-DEWPOINT SPREADS MAY BE A BIT LARGER TODAY WHICH WILL MOST
LIKELY CAUSE GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS OF 40-50 MPH FOR A BRIEF PERIOD OF
TIME AS WELL. EXPECT ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING AS
THE LAST FEW DAYS HAVE SHOWN. ACTIVITY SHOULD CEASE BY 06Z HOWEVER.
LOOK FOR MORE SCATTERED STORMS TOMORROW WITH MUCH OF THE SAME
CONDITIONS.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...SOME THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WILL
PRODUCE HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS. MOST OF THE STORMS WILL BE
MOVING AT 15-20 MPH WHICH WILL LIMIT THE DURATION OF HEAVY RAIN.
THERE IS A LOW THREAT OF FLOODING IN THE FOOTHILLS BURN AREAS AS
MOST STORMS SHOULD PRODUCE LESS THAN HALF AN INCH OF RAIN. THE
STRONGEST STORMS ON THE PLAINS MAY PRODUCE AN INCH OR TWO OF RAIN IN
LESS THAN AN HOUR.

SNOWMELT WILL REMAIN HIGH IN STREAMS DRAINING THE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS
WITH REMAINING SNOWPACK...AND AREAS THAT GET SIGNIFICANT RAIN EACH
DAY WILL SEE RISES ON ALREADY SWOLLEN STREAMS. HIGH RELEASES ALSO
CONTINUE FROM RESERVOIRS IN GRAND AND SUMMIT COUNTIES. THIS WILL
KEEP RIVERS IN THESE AREAS AT BANKFULL. DILLON RESERVOIR IS NEARLY
FULL...THERE WOULD BE HIGHER RELEASES INTO THE BLUE RIVER IF
IT DOES FILL. CURRENT FORECASTS ARE FOR THE SNOWMELT TO DECREASE
BEFORE THAT TIME BUT IF THERE WERE HEAVY RAINFALL ACROSS THAT BASIN
THE PICTURE WOULD CHANGE.

SURGE OF WATER DOWN THE SOUTH PLATTE FROM THURSDAY EVENINGS RAIN
WILL MOVE FROM WELD COUNTY INTO MORGAN COUNTY TONIGHT AND APPEARS TO
HAVE ATTENUATED ENOUGH TO NO LONGER CAUSE FLOODING.

FLOOD ADVISORIES...

   HEADWATERS OF THE COLORADO RIVER AND ST LOUIS CREEK IN EASTERN
GRAND COUNTY UNTIL LATE SUNDAY EVENING.
   BIG THOMPSON RIVER THROUGH ESTES PARK IN LARIMER COUNTY THROUGH
SATURDAY NIGHT
   BLUE RIVER IN SUMMIT COUNTY THROUGH MONDAY
   NORTH PLATTE AND MICHIGAN RIVERS IN JACKSON COUNTY THROUGH
TUESDAY MORNING
