AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHEYENNE WY
1121 AM MDT TUE MAY 28 2013

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 227 AM MDT TUE MAY 28 2013

GOES WATER VAPOR IMAGERY/RUC UPPER AIR ANALYSIS A MORE PROGRESSIVE
PATTERN. THE TROUGH THAT HAD BEEN STATIONARY ALONG THE WEST COAST
WAS NUDGED EAST INTO THE GREAT BASIN IN RESPONSE TO AN APPROACHING
EASTERN PACIFIC RIDGE. THE RIDGE OVER THE GREAT PLAINS WAS SITUATED
OVER THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. LATE DAY CONVECTION DEVELOPED YESTERDAY
AS A SHORTWAVE INTERACTED WITH THE HIGH PLAINS DRYLINE. SIMILAR TO
THE PAST FEW DAYS...CONVECTION EVOLVED INTO AN MCS OVER THE CENTRAL
PLAINS AND MOVED EAST THROUGH THE MISSOURI VALLEY. THE REGIONAL
SURFACE ANALYSIS DEPICTED A WAVY STATIONARY FRONT FROM IOWA THROUGH
KANSAS THEN NORTH ALONG THE FRONT RANGE INTO SOUTHERN WYOMING.
SOMEWHAT DRIER AIR INFILTRATED THE WESTERN PANHANDLE WITH THE PASSAGE
OF THE SHORTWAVE. DEW POINTS THERE WERE 10 DEGREES COOLER COMPARED
TO 24 HOURS AGO. AMBIENT TEMPERATURES WERE ALSO ABOUT 10 DEGREES
COOLER WITH 40S PREVALENT.

THERE IS A GOOD CONSENSUS WITH THE 00Z SHORT RANGE MODELS AMPLIFYING
THE LONG WAVE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN DURING THE NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS. THE
GREAT BASIN TROUGH DEEPENS AS IT TRANSITS THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE
TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. SHORTWAVE ENERGY WILL LIFT NORTHEAST ACROSS
THE REGION AS THE TROUGH AXIS NEARS THE FRONT RANGE WEDNESDAY. A
CLOSED LOW DEVELOPS OVER WESTERN WYOMING EARLY WEDNESDAY AND BROADENS
WEDNESDAY NIGHT OVER NORTHERN WYOMING AND SOUTHEAST MONTANA. THE
FLOW ALOFT VEERS FROM SOUTHWESTERLY TO WESTERLY BY THE END OF THE
SHORT TERM.

SURFACE LOW OVER EASTERN COLORADO WILL DEEPEN TODAY IN RESPONSE TO
THE APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH. THIS WILL INCREASE THE UPSLOPE
LOW LEVEL SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW EAST OF THE FRONT RANGE WITH ADVECTION
OF 50+ DEGREE DEW POINT AIRMASS. THE NAM AND SREF DEPICT A CORRIDOR
OF MODERATE INSTABILITY /MLCAPES 1500-2000 J/KG AND LI/S TO -6C/
WITH 30-40 KT OF DEEP LAYER SHEAR EAST OF THE LARAMIE RANGE INTO THE
NEBRASKA PANHANDLE. THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS THIS AREA
HIGHLIGHTED BY A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE TSTORMS WITH DAMAGING WINDS
AND LARGE HAIL THE PRIMARY THREATS. A FEW WEAK TORNADOES WILL BE
POSSIBLE AS WELL. CONVECTION SHOULD DEVELOP ALONG AND WEST OF THE
LARAMIE RANGE EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AND INTENSIFY AS THEY MOVE EAST
ONTO THE HIGH PLAINS LATER THIS AFTERNOON. THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT
WILL END AFTER MID EVENING IN THE EAST WITH LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING.

SHOWERS AND ISOLATED TSTORMS WILL LINGER TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY AS
THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AXIS SWINGS NORTHEAST ACROSS THE FRONT RANGE
AND HIGH PLAINS. THE MODELS INDICATE THAT THE AXIS OF INSTABILITY
WILL SHIFT EAST INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS...WITH THE SEVERE WEATHER
THREAT EAST OF OUR PANHANDLE COUNTIES. SHOWER CHANCES TAPER OFF
FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE UPPER TROUGH
WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

700MB TEMPERATURES THIS AFTERNOON PEAK BETWEEN 7 AND 9C...YIELDING
HIGHS IN THE 70S TO AROUND 80 LOWER ELEVATIONS...WITH 50S AND 60S
FOR THE HIGH COUNTRY. EXPECT ANOTHER MILD NIGHT WITH LOWS IN THE
40S AND 50S OUTSIDE THE MOUNTAINS. A PACIFIC FRONT WILL MOVE EAST
ACROSS THE CWFA EARLY WEDNESDAY. 700MB TEMPERATURES WILL BE 3 TO
5C COOLER WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. HIGHS WILL RANGE FROM THE 60S TO
LOWER 70S LOWER ELEVATIONS...TO THE 40S AND 50S HIGH COUNTRY.
LOWS WEDNESDAY NIGHT WILL BE IN THE 40S WITH 30S FOR THE MOUNTAINS.
THE SNOW LEVEL WILL DROP TO AROUND 9000 FT WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WITH
LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS FROM SNOW SHOWERS.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 227 AM MDT TUE MAY 28 2013

UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL BE THE MAIN WEATHER MAKER THROUGH SATURDAY
WITH TEMPERATURES A BIT BELOW NORMAL WITH CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND
A FEW THUNDERSTORMS. CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
LARGELY HINGE ON PLACEMENT OF SHORTWAVE ENERGY ROTATING THROUGH
WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW. TIMING AND PLACEMENT OF THESE FEATURES
WILL BE TOUGH TO NAIL DOWN OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS...BUT AT
THIS TIME IT LOOKS LIKE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA
WILL SEE THE HIGHEST CHANCES FOR MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION.
GENERALLY EXPECTING SHOWERS WITH ISOLATED GARDEN VARIETY
THUNDERSTORMS WITH WEAK INSTABILITY AND LITTLE CAPE TO WORK WITH.
HIGHS WILL MAINLY BE IN THE 60S THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.

UPPER LEVEL TROUGH SHOULD PUSH EAST OF THE AREA BY SUNDAY WITH
RIDGING ACROSS THE WESTERN CONUS. THIS MEANS A RETURN OF WARMER
TEMPERATURES...ALONG WITH DRY CONDITIONS AND MINIMAL CLOUDS COVER.
HIGHS SHOULD PUSH INTO THE 70S ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA SUNDAY.
HOWEVER BY MONDAY...MAY BE BACK INTO THE 80S OVER THE NEBRASKA
PANHANDLE AND PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST WYOMING.

24 TO 48 HOURS AS A UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS
THE CENTRAL ROCKIES AND ADJACENT PLAINS. FUELS IN GREEN UP STAGE...
COOLER TEMPERATURES AND HIGHER RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WILL RESULT IN
LOW FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. WARMER AND
DRIER CONDITIONS WILL RETURN EARLY NEXT WEEK.
