AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DENVER CO
332 AM MDT SUN JUL 8 2012

.SHORT TERM...STILL DEALING WITH WIDESPREAD LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN
ACROSS THE FAR NORTHEAST PLAINS OF COLORADO EARLY THIS AM. A LOOK
AT OBSERVATIONS THOUGH INDICATE RAINFALL RATES FROM .1-.3 INCHES
PER HOUR AND HAVE RECEIVED NO CALLS ABOUT ANY FLOODING PROBLEMS.
THIS BROAD AREA OF RAIN LOOKS TO BE VERY SLOWLY WEAKENING AND
EXPECT WE WILL LET THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH EXPIRE WITH THE NEXT
FORECAST PACKAGE. FURTHER WEST...MOST OF THE PRECIP HAS ENDED
EXCEPT FOR SOME SPOTTY VERY LIGHT RAIN OR DRIZZLE.

OVERALL WE ARE DEALING WITH A VERY MOIST AIRMASS WITH INTEGRATED
PW VALUES FROM GPS INDICATING VALUES FROM 1.20 TO 1.41 OVER THE
FRONT RANGE. SURFACE DEWPOINTS HAVE REMAINED IN THE UPPER 50S AND
LOWER 60S OVER ALL OF NORTHEAST COLORADO. SO WITH ALL THIS
MOISTURE WHAT CAN WE DO WITH IT TODAY? THE LARGE SCALE FEATURES
INCLUDE THE BROAD UPPER HIGH WHICH IS SHIFTING AND REDEVELOPING
FURTHER WEST OF COLORADO. THIS WILL SHIFT THE FLOW ALOFT FROM WEAK
WESTERLY THIS MORNING TO A NORTHWEST AND THEN NORTHERLY FLOW BY
LATE IN THE DAY AND INTO THE EVENING. STORM MOTIONS EVEN BY
EVENING WILL BE FROM THE NORTH TO NORTHEAST WHICH MAY KEEP STORMS
ANCHORED ON HIGHER TERRAIN AND ACROSS THE PALMER DIVIDE. THERE IS
A LOT OF DISCREPANCY ON HOW THE MODELS ARE HANDLING CONVECTION
OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. THE WRF SIMULATED GOES IMAGERY KEEPS MOST
OF THE STRONGER STORMS INDEED ANCHORED OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND
PALMER THRU THIS EVENING WHILE THE NORTHEAST PLAINS BEGIN TO DRY
OUT. THE NAM FOLLOWS THIS SCENARIO. ON THE OTHER HAND THE
GFS/EUROPEAN SOLUTIONS GENERATES THIS HUGE BLOB OF CONVECTIVE
PRECIP OVER THE NORTHEAST CORNER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WHICH
SEEMS TO BE ANCHORED TO A WEAK WAVE ALOFT MOVING OVER THE RIDGE.
AT THIS TIME I FAVOR THE NAM SOLUTION WITH WEAKER STORMS OVER THE
FAR NORTHEAST PLAINS GIVEN THE LACK OF SURFACE HEATING TODAY AND
THE AIRMASS HAS REALLY BEEN WORKED OVER. THE BEST CONVECTION WILL
PLAY OVER THE EAST SLOPES AND THEN STRETCHING THRU SOUTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE CWA ACROSS THE PALMER DIVIDE. HENCE THIS IS WHERE
THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL BE TODAY FROM 17Z THROUGH 06Z TONIGHT.
WILL ADJUST WEATHER AND POP GRIDS ACCORDING WITH THIS LINE OF
REASONING. ESPECIALLY FOR THE FOOTHILLS IT WILL NOT TAKE A LOT OF
RAIN TO RESULT IN MORE FLASH FLOODING ESPECIALLY SINCE 1-4 INCHES
OF RAIN HAS FALLEN IN THE FOOTHILLS IN THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS.

.LONG TERM...BELOW AVERAGE TEMPERATURES AND SHOWERS/T-STORMS
ONCE AGAIN EXPECTED ON MONDAY...BUT STORM COVERAGE AND PRECIP
AMOUNTS NOT AS GREAT AS THE DAY BEFORE. WITH MID AND UPPER LEVEL
RIDGING TO OUR WEST...FLOW ALOFT OVER NORTHEAST COLORADO GOES
NORTHERLY BY MONDAY MORNING. BELOW 600 MBS...HOWEVER...MODELS
SHOW A NORTHEASTERLY WIND COMPONENT DURING THE MORNING AND AN
EASTERLY COMPONENT IN THE AFTERNOON. MODEL SOUNDINGS ALSO A
FAIR AMOUNT OF BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE AROUND DURING THE MORNING...
THEN A GRADUAL DECREASE FROM NORTH TO SOUTH IN THE AFTERNOON AS
DRIER AIR SPREADS DOWN FROM THE NORTHERN GREAT PLAINS. THERE
SHOULD STILL BE ENOUGH MOISTURE AVAILABLE TO FUEL SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND ISOLATED T-STORMS ON THE PLAINS DURING THE MORNING
HOURS. ALTHOUGH THE ECMWF IS LESS OPTIMISTIC ABOUT THE CHANCE FOR
MORNING CONVECTION. THE OTHER MODELS SHOW MOST OF THIS MORNING
CONVECTION/STORM DEVELOPMENT EAST AND SOUTHEAST OF THE DENVER
METRO AREA. LATER IN THE DAY...MOST OF THE CONVECTION/QPF APPEARS
TO SHIFT OVER AND NEAR THE SOUTHERN FRONT RANGE FOOTHILLS AND
PALMER DIVIDE WITH THE ONSET OF EASTERLY SFC WINDS. PRECIP
AMOUNTS SHOULD BE ON THE LIGHT SIDE AS PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES
CONTINUE TO FALL THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. BY NIGHTFALL...SHOULD SEE
AN END TO STORMS EXCEPT PERHAPS IN THE SOUTH PARK AREA WHERE
SOUTHEAST LOW-LEVEL WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO PUMP LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE
UP INTO THIS HIGH ALTITUDE BASIN.

FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK...THE UPPER RIDGE WOBBLES BACK AND
FORTH OVER THE EASTERN GREAT BASIN FOR A COUPLE DAYS...THEN BY
THURSDAY MODELS SHOW THIS RIDGE AMPLIFYING EASTWARD OVER COLORADO.
700 MB TEMPERATURES OVER NORTHEAST COLORADO ARE PROGGED TO WARM TO
THE 17-18C RANGE BY THURSDAY AND/OR FRIDAY...EQUATING TO HIGHS IN
THE MID AND UPPER 90S AT LOWER ELEVATIONS BOTH DAYS. HIGH COUNTRY
LOCALS SHOULD ALSO SEE A STEADY RISE IN TEMPERATURES AFTER
TUESDAY. MOIST AIR TRAPPED BENEATH THE UPPER RIDGE SHOULD SUPPORT
AT LEAST A CHANCE OF T-STORMS EACH AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING IN
THE HIGH COUNTRY THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. WHILE STORM CHANCES
ON THE PLAINS LOOKS MEAGER AT BEST WITH CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURES ON
THE HIGH SIDE. BY SATURDAY...GFS AND ECMWF OFFER DIFFERENT
SOLUTIONS WITH THE GFS BEING THE WETTER OF THE TWO MODELS. WITH
LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE MODELS THAT FAR OUT...WILL KEEP THE PLAINS
DRY AND VERY WARM ON SATURDAY AND GO WITH A USUAL CHANCE OF
AFTERNOON T-STORMS IN THE HIGH COUNTRY.

 &&

.AVIATION...VARYING AMOUNTS OF STRATUS AT LOCAL TERMINALS BUT
GENERALLY IN THE MVFR CATEOGORY AND WILL PLAY THIS CONTINUATION
THROUGH MID MORNING. AIRMASS IS STILL SATURATED SO ANOTHER ROUND
OF STORMS EXPECTED LATER THIS AFTERNOON. FLOW WILL HAVE SHIFTED
TODAY SO STORMS WILL BE MOVING FROM THE NW TO SE FOR THE MOST
PART AND WILL OCCUR MAINLY AFTER 22Z AND CONTINUE THROUGH 03Z OR
SO. SURFACE WINDS WILL BE LIGHT TODAY BUT WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT THE
NORTHEAST FOR MUCH OF THE AFTERNOON.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...BEST CHANCE FOR FLASH FLOODING TODAY WILL AGAIN BE
OVER THE FRONT RANGE FOOTHILLS...ADJ PLAINS AND WESTERN PALMER
DIVIDE. STORM MOTIONS WILL BE VERY LIGHT BUT WILL SHIFT FROM THE
NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST. GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF RAIN WHCIH HAS FALLEN
OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS IT WILL NOT TAKE MUCH ADDITONAL WATER TO
GENERATE MORE FLASH FLOODING ESPECAILLY OVER THE BURN AREAS AND
PORTIONS OF WESTERN BOULDER AND LARIMER COUNTIES. GIVEN THE HIGH
PW VALUES AGAIN RAINFALL RATES WILL BE UP TO 2 INCHES IN LESS THAN
AN HOUR.

.BOU WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
FLASH FLOOD WATCH FROM 11 AM MDT TODAY UNTIL MIDNIGHT MONDAY FOR

...FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE FRONT RANGE FOOTHILLS...ADJACENT
PLAINS AND PALMER DIVIDE FROM 11 AM THROUGH THIS EVENING...

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHEAST AND NORTH CENTRAL
COLORADO.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

RAIN SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE OVER THE NORTHEAST PLAINS OF COLORADO
THIS MORNING BUT OVERALL RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL BE LIGHT. THERE
WILL BE ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING
WITH AGAIN THE THREAT OF VERY HEAVY RAIN AND FLASH FLOODING
POSSIBLE. RAINFALL RATES MAY BE AS HIGH AS 2 INCHES IN LESS THAN
AN HOUR.

DUE TO THE SATURATED GROUNDS FROM PREVIOUS RAINS...A FLASH FLOOD
WATCH WILL BE IN EFFECT FOR THE FOOTHILLS...URBAN CORRIDOR AND
PALMER DIVIDE FROM 11 AM UNTIL MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. THE BIGGEST
TARGET AREAS FOR FLASH FLOODING TODAY WILL BE OVER THE FIRE BURNS
AND FOOTHILL LOCATIONS OF WESTERN BOULDER AND LARIMER COUNTIES. THE
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH LATER TONIGHT.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY

THERE WILL BE A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS ON MONDAY...WITH THE BEST
CHANCE FOR STORMS ROUGHLY SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 70. SOME OF THE
STORMS FORMING ALONG THE PALMER DIVIDE MAY BRIEFLY PRODUCE HEAVY
RAINFALL AND STRONG GUSTY WINDS. THE CHANCE FOR STORMS WILL THEN
DECREASE CONSIDERABLY ON THE PLAINS FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK AS
DRIER AND WARMER AIR SPREADS OVER THE AREA. MEANWHILE THERE WILL
BE AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS IN THE HIGH COUNTRY
EACH DAY THROUGH SATURDAY.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED TODAY OR TONIGHT....HOWEVER
REPORTS OF HEAVY RAINFALL AND FLOODING WILL BE GREATLY
APPRECIATED.
