AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DENVER/BOULDER CO
406 PM MDT TUE MAY 28 2013

.SHORT TERM...SOUTHEAST FLOW ACROSS THE PLAINS HAS BEEN FEEDING
MOISTURE ACROSS THE PLAINS WITH A ZONE OF CONVERGENCE NOW EVIDENT
FROM NEAR KDEN TO NORTHEASTERN WELD COUNTY. SHOWER ACTIVITY HAS
INITIATED AND IS PROGRESSING NORTH-NORTHEASTWARD WITH THE FLOW
ALOFT. SOME OF THESE STORMS MAY PRODUCE SEVERE WEATHER WITH LARGE
HAIL AND/OR DAMAGING WINDS. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH WILL BE IN
EFFECT THROUGH 04Z THIS EVENING. OVER THE MOUNTAINS...MID LEVEL
MOISTURE HAS BEEN INCREASING AHEAD OF AN UPPER TROUGH DIGGING INTO
THE GREAT BASIN. THIS TROUGH WILL MOVE OVER THE STATE LATER
TONIGHT WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS DEVELOPING AHEAD OF THE TROUGH.
THE UPPER TROUGH AXIS WILL BE SWINGING OUT OF THE STATE TOMORROW
AFTERNOON WITH DRIER AIR MOVING BACK OVER THE STATE. AT LOW
LEVELS...COOLER TEMPERATURES WILL MOVE INTO THE STATE FROM THE
NORTH AS THE SURFACE LOW DROPS DOWN TO THE OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE. THE
COOLER AIR WILL KEEP THE AIRMASS MORE STABLE TOMORROW AFTERNOON...
SO LESS SHOWER ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED THEN.

.LONG TERM...BY WEDNESDAY EVENING MODELS GENERALLY AGREE THAT THE
SHORTWAVE TROUGH AND UPPER LOW PASSING OVER WYOMING DURING THE DAY
WILL BE EAST OF THE AREA. IN ITS WAKE DRIER AND COOLER CONDITIONS.
WEST-NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT ON BACK SIDE OF TROUGH SHOULD CONTINUE TO
PRODUCE SCATTERED RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS IN MTN AREAS..PARTICULARLY
ON WEST FACING SLOPES. CHANCE OF T-STORMS MUCH LOWER BY THEN BUT
WILL KEEP A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDER AREAWIDE THROUGH THE EVENING.
UPPER WEST SLOPES GENERALLY ABOVE 9500 FEET COULD PICK UP AN INCH
OR SO OF SNOW BY MORNING. AFTER MIDNIGHT PRECIP EAST OF MTNS PRETTY
MUCH OVER...WITH PRECIP WINDING DOWN IN THE HIGH COUNTRY WITH THE
ARRIVAL OF DRIER AIR AT MID-LEVELS. ON THURSDAY...COLD POOL ALOFT
ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER TROUGH WHICH MODELS SHOW MAKING VERY SLOPE
EASTWARD PROGRESS AWAY FROM COLORADO...WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES
SEVERAL DEGS BELOW AVERAGE EVEN AS SKIES CLEAR...MAINLY EAST OF THE
MTNS WITH DOWNSLOPE. NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...ZONAL FLOW SENDS POCKETS
OF MID-LEVEL MOISTURE INTO THE NRN MTNS...ENOUGH TO WARRANT A SLIGHT
CHANCE OF SHOWERS EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY.
DURING THE SAME PERIOD AFTER A COUPLE CHILLY NIGHTS...TEMPERATURES
EVENTUALLY RETURN TO SEASONAL AVERAGES BY SUNDAY SUNNY/MOSUNNY
SKIES. EVEN MTNS STAY DRY ON SUNDAY WITH PASSAGE OF A WEAK SHORTWAVE
RIDGE. UPPER RIDGE BUILDS AND MOVES OVER THE STATE ON MONDAY WARMING
TEMPERATURES AND KEEPING THINGS DRY. BY TUESDAY...MODELS HINT AT A
WEAK FRONTAL SYSTEM DROPPING SOUTH ACROSS WYOMING. POSSIBLE WE COULD
SEE THIS FRONT AND ANY PRECIP IT PRODUCES MOVING THROUGH NERN COLORADO
BY EVENING.

&&

.AVIATION...SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL PERSIST THIS EVENING AS THE
APPROACHING UPPER TROUGH OVER THE GREAT BASIN HOLDS THE SURFACE
LOW OVER CENTRAL COLORADO. SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL BRING
DRIER AIR OUT OF THE MOUNTAINS AND HELP KEEP DEVELOPING SHOWER
ACTIVITY TO THE EAST AND NORTH OF THE DENVER METRO AREA. AIRMASS
WILL STABILIZE LATER THIS EVENING AS A SURGE OF COOLER AIR COMES
IN FROM THE NORTH OVERNIGHT.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...NO CONCERNS. RAINFALL INTENSITIES FROM SHOWERS THAT
DEVELOP OVERNIGHT ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN TOO LOW TO PRODUCE EXCESSIVE
RAINFALL.

&&

.BOU WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NONE.

SHORT TERM...DANKERS
