208 PM MDT MON SEP 2 2013

.DISCUSSION...
CURRENTLY...CONVECTION UNDERWAY WITH ANOTHER ACTIVE DAY CONTINUING
WELL INTO THE EVENING WITH LOCAL DOWNPOURS AND FLOODING THE CHIEF
THREAT. RIDGE CORE SQUARELY OVER NEW MEXICO WITH WEAK DISTURBANCES
CIRCULATING IN THE FLOW...ONE ACROSS YELLOWSTONE PARK INTO CENTRAL
MONTANA...AND THE OTHER MOVING OUT OF SOUTH TEXAS TOWARD COAHUILA
IN NORTHERN MEXICO. SURFACE CHARTS DOMINATE NORTHERN AND EASTERN
NEW MEXICO WITH DOME OF HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER
COLORADO...WITH COLD FRONT LYING FROM THE FOUR CORNERS TO THE
TEXAS BIG BEND COUNTRY STALLING IN ITS WESTERLY AND SOUTHERLY
ADVANCE.

MODELS...IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH UPCOMING WORK WEEK AND WEEKEND
WITH SOME MODEST DIFFERENCES EMERGING DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THE
FOLLOWING WORK WEEK. HARMONIOUS CONSENSUS SHIFTS BROAD RIDGE CORE
TO CENTRAL COLORADO BY WEDNESDAY MORNING AND EXPANDS THIS FEATURE
IN PLACE THROUGH THURSDAY. CORE SHIFTS BACK TOWARD EASTERN NEW
MEXICO AND WESTERN TEXAS PANHANDLE SATURDAY MORNING...AS SYSTEM
MOVING OUT OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST CROSSES THE NORTHERN ROCKIES
WELL NORTH OF THE STATE AND ON THE NORTHERN MARGINS OF THE RIDGE.
AS SYSTEM SLIDES ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS...RIDGE WILL ELONGATE
FORM FROM THE MID MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY TO THE EASTERN PACIFIC
OFF THE MID CALIFORNIA COAST WITH REDUCED CENTROID DEFINITION IN A
BROAD AND FLAT PATTERN. A TRIO OF CENTROIDS EMERGE FROM THE
PATTERN BY EARLY IN THE FOLLOWING WORK WEEK...WITH ECMWF SOLUTION
CARRYING CENTROIDS OVER NORTHERN NEVADA AND THE BOOT HEEL OF NEW
MEXICO...WHILE GFS SOLUTION CONTINUES MORE ELONGATED RIDGE WITH
CENTROIDS OVER THE NEW MEXICO BOOT HEEL AND OVER THE LOWER OHIO
RIVER VALLEY. BOTH SOLUTIONS CALLING FOR RIDGE...AND BOTH IN
BLOCKING POSITION TO KEEP MUCH NORTHBOUND MOISTURE FROM REACHING
NEW MEXICO. HAVE OPTED TO CONTINUE THE EXTENDED FORECAST IN
RECYCLING CONVECTIVE MODE WITH STEADY TEMPERATURE TRENDS.

OVERNIGHT...CONVECTIVE COVERAGE CONTINUING AND BROAD OVER THE
STATE THROUGH THE EVENING WITH INTENSITIES AND COVERAGE TAPERING
OFF AFTER MIDNIGHT. CENTRAL AND NORTHERN MOUNTAINS AND ADJACENT
PLAINS TO THE EAST REMAIN FAVORED FOR HEAVIER DOWNPOURS AND
LOCALIZED FLOODING. WITH A COOLER START TO THE DAY...OVERNIGHT
TEMPERATURES WILL RUN A FEW DEGREES COOLER.

FOR TUESDAY...RIDGE CORE DRIFTING OUT OF NORTHERN NEW MEXICO INTO
SOUTHERN COLORADO...WITH WEAK SURFACE TROUGH REMAINING IN PLACE
FROM NEBRASKA PANHANDLE ACROSS EASTERN NEW MEXICO TO THE BOOT
HEEL. DECREASED CONVECTIVE COVERAGE FOR THE EAST...WITH COVERAGE
CONTINUING AT SOMEWHAT REDUCED INTENSITIES FOR THE CENTRAL AND
WEST. WEEKEND COOL PUSH WILL REBOUND OVER THE EAST AND
CENTRAL...WITH EASTERN TEMPERATURES 3 TO 8 DEGREES ABOVE EARLY
SEPTEMBER NORMALS...AND CENTRAL AND WESTERN TEMPERATURES NORMAL OR
UP TO FIVE DEGREES ABOVE.

FOR WEDNESDAY...RIDGE CORE CONTINUING NORTHBOUND JOURNEY INTO
COLORADO AS DOME OF SURFACE PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE HEART OF NEW
MEXICO. MARGINAL SURFACE LOW TAKING SOME SHAPE OVER THE FOUR
CORNERS THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. CONVECTIVE COVERAGE
REFOCUSING TO THE CENTRAL AND WEST WITH MINIMAL COVERAGE IN THE
EAST. NORTHERN AND WESTERN HIGH COUNTRY MOST FAVORED FOR HEAVIER
DOWNPOURS AND LOCALIZED FLOODING. STEADY TEMPERATURE TRENDS...WITH
WINDS BACKING INTO A SOUTHEAST COMPONENT OVER THE WEST AND CENTRAL
PROVIDING SOME UP SLOPE ENHANCEMENT FOR CONVECTIVE INITIATION.

FOR THURSDAY...RIDGE CORE DRIFTING FROM CENTRAL TO EASTERN
COLORADO THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON...BUT ELONGATED LOBE EXTENDING
INTO WESTERN ARIZONA WILL KEEP MAIN NORTHBOUND MOISTURE PLUME OFF
TO THE WEST OF NEW MEXICO. DYNAMICALLY ABANDONED FOUR CORNERS
SURFACE LOW WILL FILL...BUT STILL PROVIDING ENOUGH RECYCLED
MOISTURE CONVERGENCE TO KEEP CONVECTIVE FOCUS OVER THE NORTHERN
AND WESTERN HIGH COUNTRY. LITTLE CHANGE TO TEMPERATURE STORY WITH
LOW LEVEL WINDS REMAINING BACKED OFF TO SOUTHEAST.

OUTLOOK...FRIDAY THROUGH WEEKEND...RIDGE CORE DRIFTING THROUGH
EASTERN COLORADO AND EXPANDING COVERAGE BACK INTO NEW MEXICO
FRIDAY ELONGATING WELL TO THE EAST THROUGH THE WEEKEND...WITH
SECONDARY CENTROID AND WESTERN MARGINS OF RIDGE CIRCULATION
WORKING INTO NEW MEXICO BY SUNDAY. WEAK COLD FRONT WILL PENETRATE
THE NORTHEAST ON SATURDAY. CONVECTIVE COVERAGE REMAINING A WEST
AND CENTRAL SHOW WITH FOCUS ON THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS FRIDAY WITH
COVERAGE EXPANDING TO ADJACENT EASTERN PLAINS SATURDAY...AND THEN
RETREATING BACK TO WESTERN AND CENTRAL HIGH COUNTRY ON SUNDAY AS
RIDGE BUILDS BACK IN OVER THE STATE. WITH DAILY AVERAGE MAX
TEMPERATURES ALREADY ON THE DECLINE AND DAYTIME MAXIMA
STEADY...ALL POINTS WILL BE ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

ACTIVE THUNDERSTORM DAY TODAY AND EARLY TONIGHT AND THEN A DRYING
TREND BEGINS TUESDAY AND CONTINUES THROUGH THE WORK WEEK.

UPPER LEVEL HIGH CENTER BEGINNING TO DRIFT SLOWLY NORTHWESTWARD FROM
NEAR ALBUQUERQUE THIS AFTERNOON. THE HIGH IS FORECAST TO DRIFT
NORTHWEST AND NORTH AND EVENTUALLY NORTHEASTWARD ON TUESDAY
MORNING...ENDING UP OVER SOUTH-CENTRAL COLORADO LATE-DAY TOMORROW.
THE RESULTING EASTERLY WINDS ALOFT WILL USHER IN MUCH DRIER AIR
ABOVE MOUNTAIN TOP LEVEL TUESDAY THROUGH THE REST OF THE WORK WEEK.
BEST CHANCES FOR AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE OVER THE FAR
NORTHERN MOUNTAINS AND WEST OF THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE FROM THE SW
MOUNTAINS NORTH TO THE COLORADO BORDER. FRIDAY APPEARS TO BE THE
DRIEST DAY OF THE NEXT 7 DAYS AS LITTLE IF ANY CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY

TEMPERATURES DROP 10 TO 20 DEGREES BELOW TODAYS READINGS WEDNESDAY
THROUGH FRIDAY. MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL DROP INTO THE
20S MOUNTAINS AND TEENS ELSEWHERE...MAINLY FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY
AFTERNOONS. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL ALSO TREND LOWER AS A RESULT OF THE
LOWER RH/DEW POINTS.

AS AN UNSEASONABLY DEEP UPPER LEVEL CLOSED LOW MOVES EWD INTO THE
PAC NW AND NORTHERN ROCKIES FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT...THE UPPER
HIGH...NOW OVER ERN COLORADO...BEGINS TO FOLD OVER AND WEAKEN
SOMEWHAT...GETTING FORCED FARTHER EWD INTO KANSAS. WEATHER
PREDICTION MODELS ARE IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT THAT MONSOON MOISTURE
WILL BEGIN TO SEEP UP FROM THE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST SATURDAY. AT
LEAST ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE RETURNS TO THE WESTERN AND
NORTHERN MOUNTAINS SATURDAY AFTERNOON AS A RESULT. SOUTHERLY
MOISTURE SEEP CONTINUES SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...RESULTING IN
AN UPTICK IN THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE EACH DAY. GFS AND ECMWF IN
REMARKABLE AGREEMENT FROM EARLY NEXT WEEK AND BEYOND....BRINGING A
WEAK UPPER LOW SEWD THROUGH THE INLAND NW AND GREAT BASIN. THIS
FEATURE ACTS TO CONTINUE AND PERHAPS INCREASE OUR SOUTHERLY
MONSOONAL FLOW TOWARD MID-WEEK. AFTER ALL...WEDNESDAY NEXT WEEK IS
THE FIRST DAY OF THE STATE FAIR. ENOUGH SAID.

UPPER HIGH CENTER JOGGING SLIGHTLY TO THE NW AND WILL BE OVR NW
PLATEAU BY LATE AFTERNOON. CLOCKWISE STEERING FLOW WILL TAKE
STORMS EAST OF CENTRAL MTN CHAIN SWD AND STORMS OVER SW AND W-C NM
