AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DENVER/BOULDER CO
336 PM MDT THU AUG 1 2013

.SHORT TERM...AN INCREASE IN SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE CONTINUES TO
MOVE UP FROM THE SOUTHWEST WHILE A SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVES EAST
ACROSS THE NORTHERN ROCKIES. AT THE SURFACE...A LOW IS DEEPENING
OVER THE EASTERN PLAINS AND MOVING SLOWLY TOWARD THE KANSAS
BORDER. CAPES OF NEAR 800 J/KG NEAR THE MOUNTAINS AND NEAR 1500
J/KG AND ABOVE OVER THE FAR EASTERN PLAINS. THIS WILL HELP
CONTINUE THE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA...WITH STRONGER STORMS
EXPECTED OVER THE FAR NORTHEASTERN CORNER OF THE STATE. DRIER DEW
POINTS OVER THE MOUNTAINS AS WELL AS WESTERLY FLOW WILL TEND TO
MAKE THE STORMS HAVE MORE OF A WIND THREAT THAN RAIN WITH SLIGHT
DOWNSLOPING. THEN THEY WILL BE ABLE TO TAP INTO BETTER MOISTURE
FURTHER EAST FOR A BETTER CHANCE OF HEAVIER RAIN...A CHANCE OF
LARGE HAIL AND STRONG OUTFLOW WINDS. SOME SLIGHT WARMING ALOFT
SHOWN ON FORECAST SOUNDINGS MAY START TO INHIBIT THE STORM
COVERAGE OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND METRO AREAS THIS EVENING.

STORM ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO DECREASE LATER THIS EVENING THEN
DIMINISH AROUND MIDNIGHT...ALTHOUGH SOME ACTIVITY MAY STILL BE
LINGERING OVER THE FAR NORTHEAST CORNER.

THE AREA OF ENHANCED SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE AND THE SHORTWAVE MOVING
OVER THE NORTHERN ROCKIES WILL MOVE EAST FRIDAY. HEIGHTS WILL
INCREASE OVER THE STATE AS THE RIDGE BUILDS BACK NORTH AND AT THE
SAME TIME HIGHER SURFACE PRESSURE OVER THE HIGH NORTHERN PLAINS
WILL BEGIN TO PUSH DOWN INTO THE STATE. THIS WILL DECREASE CHANCES
FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS OVER THE PLAINS TOMORROW WITH MOST ACTIVITY
EXPECTED TO STAY OVER THE HIGH TERRAIN. TEMPERATURES WILL INCREASE
A FEW DEGREES TOMORROW WITH THE RIDGE BUILDING IN.

.LONG TERM...SOME STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY
EVENING...MAINLY ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN. WITH PRECIPITABLE
WATER VALUES AROUND SIX TENTHS OF AN INCH ALONG THE FOOTHILLS AND
CLOSE TO AN INCH ACROSS THE PLAINS....STORMS COULD PRODUCE BRIEF
HEAVY RAIN. AFTER MIDNIGHT...MODELS SHOW FRONT PUSHING ACROSS THE
PLAINS WITH INCREASING UPSLOPE AND LOW LEVEL MOISTURE. LIFT FROM
FRONT ALONG WITH INCREASING SHEAR SHOULD PROVIDE FOR A FEW
SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA OVERNIGHT. CERTAINLY
SOME INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER. ON SATURDAY...FLOW ALOFT BECOMES
SOUTHWEST AS UPPER HIGH SHIFTS INTO NORTHERN TEXAS. GOOD BATCH OF
SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE TO MOVE ACROSS COLORADO...WITH PRECIPITABLE
WATER VALUES EXCEEDING AN INCH ACROSS THE PLAINS AND AROUND EIGHT
TENTHS OF AN INCH ALONG FOOTHILLS. DECENT SHEAR TO HELP INCREASE THE
STORM CHANCES BY THE AFTERNOON ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS AND FOOTHILLS...
THEN OVER THE PLAINS. AIRMASS COOLER WHICH COULD PROVIDE A BIT OF
A CAP ACROSS THE PLAINS...WHICH IS SHOWN BY FORECAST SOUNDINGS...
AND MAY HINDER STORM CHANCES. WILL CONTINUE THE CHANCE POPS FOR
NOW. POTENTIAL FOR STORMS TO PRODUCE LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN...THOUGH
STORM MOTION OF AROUND 10 KTS SHOULD HELP KEEP STORMS MOVING.
STORMS TO CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING BEFORE DECREASING AROUND
MIDNIGHT. TEMPERATURES TO COOL INTO THE LOWER 80S ACROSS THE
PLAINS. FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY...FLOW ALOFT BECOMES MORE WESTERLY
AS UPPER TROUGH MOVES INTO THE NORTHERN GREAT BASIN. BULK OF
SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE TO SHIFT INTO WESTERN COLORADO. AIRMASS
SLIGHTLY DRIER...WITH NO MID LEVEL CAP. STILL SUFFICIENT MOISTURE
FOR A CHANCE OF MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
THE HIGHER TERRAIN AND A SLIGHT CHANCE OVER MUCH OF THE PLAINS.
TEMPERATURES LOOK TO WARM TO NEAR NORMAL READINGS.

FOR THE LATER DAYS...TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...FLOW ALOFT TO
BECOME MORE SOUTHWEST AS UPPER HIGH SHIFTS INTO SOUTHEAST TEXAS.
THIS TO BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE ACROSS THE
AREA. THIS TO RESULT IN AN INCREASING CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS. IN
ADDITION... MODELS SHOW FRONT MOVING ACROSS THE PLAINS OVERNIGHT
TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY...WITH COOLER AIR AND INCREASING LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE. TEMPERATURES TO COOL TO BELOW NORMAL READINGS WEDNESDAY
AND THURSDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH FRIDAY. SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE DECREASING BY EARLY
EVENING...WITH DRYING AS THEY COME OFF THE HIGHER TERRAIN WITH
SLIGHT DOWNSLOPING. THIS WILL PRODUCE STRONG AND VARIABLE
DIRECTION OUTFLOW WINDS TO AFFECT THE AIRPORTS. WIND GUSTS TO 40
KNOTS AND BRIEF HEAVY RAIN WILL BE THE MAIN THREATS WITH THE
STORMS. THREAT OF STORMS SHOULD DIMINISH BY 02Z WITH DRAINAGE
WINDS EXPECTED TONIGHT. LESS CONVECTION EXPECTED TOMORROW.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...SCATTERED STORMS ARE MOVING EAST OVER THE HIGHER
TERRAIN OVER THE FOOTHILLS AND ONTO THE PLAINS. THE STRONGER
STORMS HAVE BEEN PRODUCING BETWEEN .02-.04 IN 30 MINUTES SO FAR
TODAY. STORMS MOTION ARE AROUND 15-20 MPH SO THE FLASH FLOODING
THREAT WILL BE LOW.
