AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND JUNCTION CO
400 AM MDT WED JUN 15 2011

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...
ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE TROUGH WILL TAKE UP RESIDENCE OVER ALBERTA
AND THE NRN ROCKIES.  PACIFIC MOISTURE NEAR 40N WILL STREAM INLAND
BENEATH THE TROUGH AND INTERACT WITH A DEVELOPING COLD FRONT THAT
MOVES INTO NRN UTAH THIS AFTERNOON.  THIS FORMS A BAROCLINIC ZONE
OVER NE UTAH AND NW COLORADO...AND MODELS INDICATE THIS ZONE WILL
BE NEARLY STATIONARY AS THE MAIN UPPER LOW SPINS OVER SRN ALBERTA
THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT.  AS PACIFIC ENERGY STREAMS THROUGH THE
BAROCLINIC ZONE...EXPECT SCATTERED SHOWERS WITH SOME THUNDERSTORMS
OVER NE UTAH/NW COLORADO...MOSTLY NORTH OF HIGHWAY 40...FROM THIS
EVENING AND THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT TERM PERIOD.  WITH A
THIN RIBBON OF PRECIPITABLE WATER EXCEEDING TWO THIRDS OF AN INCH...
SCATTERED SHOWERS COULD BE FAIRLY PERSISTENT...EVEN DURING THE
NIGHTTIME HOURS WHEN SOME DYNAMICAL FORCING WILL COMPENSATE FOR THE
LACK OF SURFACE HEATING.

SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 40...THE AIR MASS WILL BE DRIER (QUITE DRY WITH
LOW PRECIPITABLE WATER AROUND THE FOUR CORNERS AREA) AND DO NOT
EXPECT ANY SHOWERS SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 70.  OCCASIONAL BREEZES TO 25
MPH WILL OCCUR THIS AFTERNOON AS SOUTHWEST GRADIENT FLOW STRENGTHENS.
WIND BECOMES STRONGER THURSDAY AFTERNOON AS THE THERMAL SURFACE
TROUGH DEEPENS OVER SE UTAH AND SW COLORADO.  POTENTIAL FIRE WEATHER
CONCERNS ARE ADDRESSED BELOW.

.LONG TERM DISCUSSION...FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...
A LONG WAVE TROUGH REMAINS PLANTED ACROSS THE WESTERN U.S. THROUGH
SATURDAY ALLOWING FOR SEVERAL WAVES TO MOVE THROUGH IT BRINGING A
SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO AREAS NORTH OF I-70...
WITH BETTER CHANCE OVER NE UTAH AND NW COLORADO.  THE TROUGH WILL
FINALLY MAKE SOME PROGRESS EASTWARD AS A CLOSED LOW EJECTS FROM THE
PACIFIC NW INTO THE BASE OF THE TROUGH ON SUNDAY WITH ITS CENTER
MOVING THROUGH IDAHO AND WYOMING THROUGH MONDAY MORNING. AN
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL BRING ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS THROUGH
SATURDAY DOWN TO BELOW TO NEAR NORMAL BY SUNDAY. BEST CHANCE OF
PRECIP WILL BE ON SUNDAY FOR AREAS MAINLY NORTH OF MONTROSE AS THE
TROUGH MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. MODELS ARE CONSISTENT ON THE BIG
PICTURE BUT THE FINER DETAILS ARE HIT OR MISS WITH TIMING THESE
INITIAL WAVES. A FEW SHOWERS MAY LINGER OVER THE NRN MTNS IN NW FLOW
INTO MON WITH TUESDAY LOOKING MUCH DRIER ACROSS THE DESERT SW AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE WEST COAST.

ACROSS SE UT/SW CO...LOOKING HOT AND DRY WITH CONTINUED
LOW HUMIDITIES FRIDAY AND THIS WEEKEND. AS EMBEDDED DISTURBANCES
ROTATE AROUND THE MAIN TROUGH...EXPECT BREEZY CONDITIONS DURING THE
AFTERNOONS.

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR CONTINUES FOR ALL TAF SITES UNDER HIGH PRESSURE.  ISOLATED
SHOWERS AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP NORTH OF A LINE FROM
KVEL TO KCAG THIS EVENING.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER (FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSION ISSUED 344 PM MDT TUESDAY)...
ISSUED A FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR THU AFTERNOON/EVENING FOR MUCH OF
WEST-CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST COLORADO. GUSTY WINDS AND LOW HUMIDITY
APPEAR PROBABLE FROM ABOUT I-70 SOUTHWARD AS DISTURBANCE ROTATES
AROUND THE MAIN LOW OVER SW CANADA/NRN ROCKIES AND DEEP MIXING
HELPS BRING WINDS ALOFT DOWN TO THE SURFACE DURING THE HEAT OF THE
DAY. ENOUGH CLOUDS AND COOLER TEMPS SHOULD KEEP RH ABOVE CRITICAL
LEVELS ACROSS NE UT/NW CO.

MAY BE DEALING WITH CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ACROSS PARTS THE
CENTRAL AND SOUTH FRI-SAT AS WELL AS THE PATTERN REMAINS FAIRLY
STAGNANT...SO SOMETHING TO WATCH.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
(FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSION ISSUED 344 PM MDT TUESDAY)...
RIVER FLOODING WILL CONTINUE ON MANY AREA WATERWAYS THROUGH THE WEEK.
THE CONTINUED WARMTH WILL KEEP MELTING OF THE HIGHER MOUNTAIN
SNOWPACK WHICH WILL CAUSE MANY MAINSTEM RIVERS AND TRIBUTARIES TO
REMAIN OR GO ABOVE BANKFULL...WITH SOME RIVER LOCATIONS ABOVE FLOOD
STAGE. NEAR OR ABOVE SEASONAL NORMALS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEK
THEREFORE THE POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING WILL PERSIST.
