AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DENVER/BOULDER CO
259 PM MDT MON AUG 29 2011

.SHORT TERM...SCATTERED CONVECTION ACROSS MOUNTAINS AND ALONG
BOUNDARY FROM MORGAN COUNTY THROUGH EASTERN ADAMS AND EASTERN
ARAPAHOE COUNTIES INTO CENTRAL ELBERT COUNTY. STORMS ISOLATED
ELSEWHERE AS AIRMASS A BIT CAPPED AS NOTED BY ACARS SOUNDINGS.
FAIRLY DECENT SHEAR OVER THE FAR NORTHEAST PLAINS EAST OF THE
BOUNDARY WHERE SURFACE DEWPOINTS HOVERING AROUND 60 DEGREES. STILL
SOME POTENTIAL FOR A FEW STORMS REACHING SEVERE LIMITS WITH HAIL AND
GUSTY WINDS THE MAIN CONCERNS. OTHERWISE STORMS TO PRODUCE BRIEF
HEAVY RAIN AS CURRENT IPW VALUES HOVERING AROUND 1.2 INCHES...THOUGH
STORM MOVEMENT AROUND 12 KTS SHOULD LIMIT STORM THREAT. LATEST
MODELS INDICATING CONVECTION SHOULD END ACROSS THE AREA BY MIDNIGHT
AS DRIER AIR EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION. THE LATEST HRRR
SUGGEST A FEW STORMS TO LINGER OVER THE NORTHEAST CORNER THROUGH
09Z. NOT SURE IF THIS WILL PAN OUT...BUT WILL LEAVE A SLIGHT CHANCE
GOING IN THAT AREA THROUGH 09Z. LATEST RUC SUGGESTS A RETURN OF LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE AS FAR WEST AS EASTERN ADAMS AND EASTERN ARAPAHOE
COUNTIES. THIS LOOKS A BIT OVERDONE BASED ON THE OTHER MODELS. FOR
NOW WILL NOT ADD ANY FOG THE GRIDS. ON TUESDAY...MODELS SHOW UPPER
LEVEL RIDGE BUILDING NORTH OVER COLORADO WITH MOST OF THE MOISTURE
SOUTH OF THE CFWA. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW IPW VALUES RANGING FROM
SIX TENTHS OF AN INCH ALONG THE FOOTHILLS TO THREE QUARTERS OF AN
INCH OVER LINCOLN COUNTY. IN ADDITION...SOUNDINGS ALSO SHOW AIRMASS
ACROSS PLAINS CAPPED WHICH WILL LIMIT STORM CHANCES. SO BEST CHANCES
FOR STORMS TO BE OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND ALONG THE PALMER DIVIDE.
THIS ALREADY NOTED IN CURRENT FORECAST GRIDS...SO NO CHANGES NEEDED.
LATEST TEMPERATURE AND THICKNESS PROGS AS WELL AS GUIDANCE SHOW
HIGHS IN THE 90S AGAIN ACROSS THE PLAINS. WITH LESS CLOUDS EXPECTED
THIS LOOKING REASONABLE. CURRENT TEMPERATURE GRIDS IN LINE WITH
GUIDANCE...NO CHANGES NEEDED AT THIS TIME.

.LONG TERM...THE THERMAL RIDGE WILL REMAIN OVER COLORADO THROUGH
THURSDAY...WHILE THE UPPER RIDGE MIGRATES TO THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS...AND COLORADO WILL EXPERIENCE SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT.
TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE ABOVE NORMAL WITH HIGHS IN THE 90S BOTH
DAYS.  MOISTURE WILL BE LIMITED...AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE FOUND
MOSTLY OVER THE HIGH COUNTRY.

THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY WE SEE A CHANGE AS THE UPPER TROUGH WILL
SWEEP ACROSS THE NORTHERN ROCKIES IN SEVERAL PARTS.  THE BEST CHANCE
OF PRECIPITATION ON THE PLAINS MAY OCCUR IN ASSOCATION WITH THIS
TROUGH...ON THURSDAY NIGHT.  THE TROUGH WILL ALSO USHER IN COOLER
TEMPERATURES THAT WILL LINGER RIGHT THROUGH THE WEEKEND...SO HIGHS
WILL BE BACK TOWARDS SEASONAL VALUES IN THE 80S.  POPS WILL BE LOW
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...THEN THE UPPER RIDGE WILL NOSE NORTHWARD
ACROSS THE ROCKIES SUNDAY AND MONDAY...WITH A CORRESPONDING INCREASE
IN MID LEVEL MOISTURE AND CONVECTION.

&&

.AVIATION...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ALONG FOOTHILLS AND EAST OF THE
DENVER AREA. STILL A POSSIBILITY OF STORMS AFFECT THE AREA AIRPORTS.
FOR NOW WILL CONTINUE WITH THE VCTS AND TEMPO VARIABLE WIND GUSTS TO
30 KTS THROUGH ROUGHLY 02Z. VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL...WITH A
CHANCE OF CEILINGS AROUND 6000 FEET AGL. AFTER 03Z...THE STORMS
SHOULD BE EAST OF THE AREA WITH DECREASING CLOUDS. SHOULD SEE WINDS
SHIFTING TO THE SOUTHWEST AS DRAINAGE FLOW DEVELOPS. LATEST RUC
SUGGESTS A WESTERLY PUSH OF LOW CLOUDS AND PERHAPS FOG TO JUST EAST
OF KDIA BY 05Z. THIS APPEARS A BIT OVERDONE AS LATEST NAM AND GFS
KEEP THIS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE FURTHER EAST. WILL KEEP OUT ANY MENTION
OF LOW CLOUDS OR FOG IN THE UPCOMING TAFS. ON TUESDAY...DRIER AIR
EXPECTED ACROSS THE AREA WITH ONLY A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR STORMS ALONG
THE FOOTHILLS AND PALMER DIVIDE AFTER 18Z.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE
EVENING. WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES AROUND 1.2 INCHES...SOME OF
THE STORMS WILL PRODUCE HEAVY RAIN. STILL THE POTENTIAL FOR UP TO
1.5 INCHES IN AN HOUR ON THE PLAINS...WITH THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH
IN 30 MINUTES POSSIBLE IN THE MOUNTAINS. BUT CURRENT STORM MOTION OF
AROUND 12 KTS WILL LIMIT FLOOD THREAT...THOUGH MINOR FLOODING
POSSIBLE IN THE BURN AREAS ALONG THE FOOTHILLS. DRIER AND MORE
STABLE CONDITIONS EXPECTED TUESDAY WITH ONLY A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
STORMS ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS AND FOOTHILLS AND ALONG THE PALMER
DIVIDE. FLOOD THREAT LOW DUE TO THE DRIER AIRMASS.

.BOU WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE.
