243 PM MDT MON JUN 20 2011

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT-WEDNESDAY)...
239 PM MDT MON JUN 20 2011

TONIGHT THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WHICH HAS BROUGHT RAINFALL AND SEVERE
WEATHER TO THE CWA WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT NORTHEAST.  MODELS STILL
NOT AGREEING ON THE EXACT LOCATION OF THE 700MB LOW...BUT ARE IN
GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE 500MB LOW.  FAVORED NAM AND RUC AS THESE TWO
SEEMED TO HAVE THE BEST HANDLE ON THE MOVEMENT OF THE MIDLEVEL
TROUGH OUT OF COLORADO.  DURING THE EVENING HOURS THE ENTIRE CWA
COULD STILL SEE RAINFALL.  THE BEST CHANCES WILL BE OVER THE
NORTHEAST PARTS OF THE AREA WHICH ARE CLOSEST TO THE DYNAMICS OF THE
UPPER LOW.  THE CHANCES THEN DECREASE TO THE SOUTHWEST AS THOSE
AREAS ARE FURTHER AWAY FROM THE BETTER DYNAMICS FOR LIFT.  OVERNIGHT
THE CHANCES DECREASE TO THE NORTHEAST AS THE UPPER LOW CONTINUES TO
MOVE OUT OF THE CWA.  WINDS WILL BE STRONG DUE TO THE TIGHT PRESSURE
GRADIENT IN PLACE OVER THE CWA. KEPT THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE
NORTHWEST CWA GOING AS THAT AREA HAS CONTINUED TO RECEIVE
RAINFALL THROUGH THE DAY.

TUESDAY THE WINDS WILL STRENGTHEN IN THE MORNING SIMILAR IN
STRENGTH TO MONDAY. STRENGTH OF THE WINDS LOOKS TO BE WELL INTO
ADVISORY CRITERIA. DUE TO CURRENT ADVISORY ALREADY IN PLACE...WILL
HOLD OFF ISSUING A NEW ADVISORY. THE LAST OF THE RAINFALL SHOULD
EXIT THE NORTHEAST PART OF THE CWA BY LATE MORNING. DURING THE
AFTERNOON THERE IS SOME INSTABILITY AND UPPER LEVEL LIFTING OVER
THE NORTHEASTERN CWA. INCLUDED A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR THIS AREA IN
CASE THE ENVIRONMENT IS STILL ABLE TO SUPPORT SOME STORM
DEVELOPMENT.

TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT WINDS WILL BE LIGHTER...WITH
SOME BREEZY WINDS WEDNESDAY OVER THE EASTERN CWA.

TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE SHORT TERM WILL BE NEAR NORMAL.

.LONG TERM (THURSDAY-MONDAY)...
239 PM MDT MON JUN 20 2011

THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH THAT HAS BROUGHT RAIN AND SEVERE WEATHER TO
THE CWA WILL BE EAST OF THE CWA AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS PERIOD.
FOLLOWING THE EXITING TROUGH WILL BE AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE.  THIS
RIDGE WILL DOMINATE THE WEATHER THROUGH THE LONG TERM AS IT
PROGRESSES FROM THE GREAT BASIN AND MOVES SOUTHEAST...WITH THE
NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE OVER THE CWA.  AS A RESULT THIS
PERIOD WILL BE DRY FOR THE MOST PART.  HOWEVER THERE WILL BE SOME
SLIGHT CHANCES FOR RAINFALL SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AS SOME LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE MOVES INTO THE AREA COINCIDENT WITH LIFTING FROM MINOR
UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES MOVING ALONG THE EDGE OF THE RIDGE.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR NORMAL.
