Severe Thunderstorm Warning 207, NWS Cheyenne, WY

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHEYENNE WY
303 PM MDT THU AUG 1 2013

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 302 PM MDT THU AUG 1 2013

ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TODAY AND TONIGHT WITH
SOME SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED. DEVELOPMENT HAS ALREADY
OCCURRED OVER WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. BATCH OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CURRENTLY OVER ALBANY COUNTY WILL SPREAD
EAST INTO THE PLAINS OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. THIS CONVECTION
SHOULD HELP ERODE IF NOT BREAK THE CAP. AT ANY RATE...SHOULD SEE
THE CAP BREAK SOMETIME THIS AFTERNOON WITH STORMS DEVELOPING AND
EVENTUALLY BECOMING SEVERE.

MAIN SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL BE LARGE HAIL BUT DAMAGING WINDS
AND A FEW TORNADOES ARE POSSIBLE LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
VERY JUICY AIR IN PLACE AT THIS TIME WITH DEW POINTS MAINLY IN THE
50S TO LOW 60S EAST OF THE LARAMIE RANGE. THE ONE EXCEPTION BEING
AROUND CHEYENNE WHERE A DRY PUNCH DROPPED THE DEW POINTS INTO THE
30S. MU CAPES FROM CURRENT ANALYSIS RUNNING BETWEEN 2000-3000
J/KG...NEARLY DOUBLE THAT OF YESTERDAY BUT WIND PROFILES ARE
SIMILAR. IMPRESSIVE DEEP LAYER SHEAR WITH INCREASING WINDS FROM
THE BOUNDARY LAYER THROUGH THE EQUILIBRIUM LEVEL. THIS WILL
SUPPORT SUPER-CELL THUNDERSTORMS WITH STRONG UPDRAFTS. HAIL SIZES
COULD BE VERY LARGE...CERTAINLY HAIL OVER 2 INCHES IS POSSIBLE AND
COULD SEE A FEW STORMS PRODUCING BASEBALL SIZED HAIL. WIND THREAT
APPEARS TO BE RATHER STANDARD WITH 60-70 MPH WINDS. ALSO...THERE
IS A CHANCE FOR TORNADOES. CURRENTLY A COUPLE BOUNDARIES IN PLACE
OVER THE AREA WHICH COULD BE A FOCUS FOR TORNADIC DEVELOPMENT.
ALSO EASTERLY SURFACE WINDS ARE FORECAST TO INCREASE TO 10 TO 15
MPH BY THIS EVENING. THIS COULD ENHANCE THE TORNADO THREAT FOR A
TIME THIS EVENING. THE HIGHEST TORNADIC THREAT APPEARS TO BE NEAR
A SYNOPTIC BOUNDARY IN THE NORTHERN NEBRASKA PANHANDLE AND
ADJACENT PORTIONS OF EAST CENTRAL WY EARLY THIS EVENING.

MODELS ARE NOW PUSHING THE MAIN AREA OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND
INSTABILITY EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA FOR TOMORROW. THIS WILL
SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL FOR FRIDAY.
MAINLY GARDEN VARIETY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY WITH THE
ONLY POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE MAY BE THE NORTHERN NEBRASKA PANHANDLE
BUT THAT DEVELOP ON WHERE THE LOW LEVEL BOUNDARY RESIDES. BOUNDARY
IS FORECAST TO SLAM BACK TO THE WEST FRIDAY NIGHT. COULD SEE SOME
FOG AND LOW CLOUDS EAST OF THE LARAMIE RANGE AS THE LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE INCREASES. MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SATURDAY
AFTERNOON BUT TOUGH TO GUAGE THE STRENGTH AT THIS POINT...BUT
BASED ON CURRENT MODELS COULD SEE A FEW MORE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 302 PM MDT THU AUG 1 2013

AN UPPER RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO HOLD JUST WEST OF THE CWA FOR MUCH
OF THIS PERIOD...EXTENDING BASICALLY FROM TEXAS NNW JUST WEST OF
THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN CHAIN. SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO
MOVE UNDER THIS RIDGE FROM THE DESERT SW ACROSS THE REGION WHICH
WILL KEEP AT LEAST WIDELY SCTD MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EVENING
CONVECTION GOING ACROSS THE CWA THROUGH SUNDAY THEN IT MIGHT
BECOME MORE ISOLATED EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE MOISTURE DECREASES A
BIT. A DECENT PUSH OF COOLER AIR IS DEPICTED TO MOVE INTO THE
REGION MIDWEEK AND SHOULD ALLOW FOR MORE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND
STORMS WITH RESULTANT UPSLOPE PATTERN. GFS MAY BE OVERDONE WITH
ITS QPF BUT AT LEAST SCTD POPS LOOK IN ORDER THEN. TEMPERATURES
WARM SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY BEFORE TRENDING DOWN WEDNESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY MORNING)

PORTIONS OF THE DISTRICT ON FRIDAY. FURTHER WEST...SOMEWHAT DRIER AND
