.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 417 PM MDT SAT JUN 22 2013

THE CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS MOVING THROUGH AREAS EAST OF THE
LARAMIE RANGE WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT EAST DURING THE COURSE OF THE
EVENING. 0-1KM STORM RELATIVE HELICITY VALUES ARE RANGING FROM
50-100M^2/S^2 IN GOSHEN AND ALBANY COUNTIES. FURTHER EAST OF THIS
COUNTIES LCL'S ARE A BIT LOWER WITH VALUES RANGING FROM 500M-
1000M. THEREFORE...CONTINUED TORNADO THREAT LOOKS TO BE FAIRLY
MARGINAL THIS EVENING...BUT STILL CANNOT RULE SOME BRIEF
TOUCHDOWNS AS THE LINE CONTINUES TO PUSH EAST. MEANWHILE...LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND THREAT STILL LOOKS
FAVORABLE AT THIS TIME. ALL OF THIS ACTIVITY CONTINUES TO DEVELOP
AHEAD OF THE MAIN SHORTWAVE PIVOTING THROUGH CENTRAL WYOMING. THIS
SHORTWAVE WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT EAST THIS EVENING AND BRING DRIER
AIR INTO THIS EVENING. WE WILL BE CLEARING THE TORNADO WATCH IN
CONVERSE AND ALBANY COUNTIES SHORTLY.

TONIGHT AND SUNDAY:
CLEARING SKIES ARE EXPECTED LATE THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT AS THE
SUBSIDENCE BUILDS IN WITH THE PASSING SHORTWAVE. IT MAY BE QUITE
COOL IN A FEW LOCATIONS WITH 40S IN WYOMING AND 50S IN THE
NEBRASKA PANHANDLE. LEE SIDE TROF DOES TRY TO SET UP CAMP...BUT
NOT REAL CONFIDENT THAT SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL DEVELOP. FOR
NOW...WE WILL CONSISTENCY SAKE WE WILL KEEP THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE PICTURE.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 417 PM MDT SAT JUN 22 2013

NOT MANY CHANGES MADE TO THE LONG TERM DUE TO WIDESPREAD SEVERE
WEATHER THIS AFTERNOON. WE WILL NEED TO WATCH FOR A POTENTIAL
SHORTWAVE MOVING THROUGH THE NORTHERN PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA
MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY WHICH MAY BRING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS OF
THUNDERSTORMS. OTHERWISE...THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO
BUILD OVER THE REGION LATER IN THE WEEK AND BRING WARMER
TEMPERATURES.
