AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DENVER/BOULDER CO
308 PM MDT FRI AUG 8 2014

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 308 PM MDT FRI AUG 8 2014

SCATTERED AFTERNOON CONVECTION COMING OFF OF THE FOOTHILLS IS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE PROPAGATING ACROSS THE NORTHEAST PLAINS
THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. MODERATE WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL KEEP
THE STORMS MOVING ON THEIR EASTERLY TRACK. BRIEF RAIN AND GUSTY
WINDS ARE GOING TO BE THE PRIMARY THREAT. DEEPER MOISTURE IS
PRESENT OUT ALONG THE EASTERN BORDER...SO WHEN STORMS GET OUT TO
THAT PART OF THE FORECAST AREA...THEY MAY STRENGTHEN AND PRODUCE
HEAVIER RAINFALL AMOUNTS. THE NOCTURNAL CONVECTION SHOULD BE
WINDING DOWN BY MIDNIGHT WITH SKIES GRADUALLY CLEARING OUT.

FOR TOMORROW...ADDITIONAL MONSOONAL MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO BE
MOVING OVER THE STATE...FUELING ANOTHER DAY OF AFTERNOON AND
EVENING THUNDERSTORMS. TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO BE A FEW
DEGREES WARMER...ADDING A LITTLE MORE PUNCH TO THE CONVECTION.
CONTINUING MODERATE WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT SHOULD KEEP SHOWERS MOVING
FAST ENOUGH TO AVOID ANY FLOODING PROBLEMS. SKIES SHOULD BE MOSTLY
SUNNY IN THE MORNING...BEFORE THE CONVECTION DEVELOPS OVER THE
MOUNTAINS AND BEGINS MARCHING EASTWARD.

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 308 PM MDT FRI AUG 8 2014

A SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL BE PASSING OVER THE NORTHERN ROCKIES AND
INTO THE GREAT PLAINS SATURDAY...EVENTUALLY PUSHING A FRONT SOUTH
INTO COLORADO. TIMING OF THE FRONT AND SHORTWAVE EFFECTS DIFFER
BETWEEN MODELS...BUT THEY ALL SEEM TO BE CONVERGING ON A PIECE OF
ENERGY TO PUSH OVER NORTHEASTERN COLORADO SATURDAY EVENING WHICH
WOULD KEEP CONVECTION GOING THROUGH MOST OF THE EVENING...THEN
THE FRONT WITH UPSLOPE FLOW TO FOLLOW TO PUSH IN SUNDAY MORNING.
LOOK FOR THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING WITH SOME
ACTIVITY POSSIBLE AFTER MIDNIGHT...WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS OUT
OVER THE EASTERN PLAINS. AS THE FRONT PUSHES DOWN...SOME OF THIS
MOISTURE COULD BE PUSHED IN AND AGAINST THE FOOTHILLS FOR A CHANCE
OF STRATUS IN THE MORNING. WITH CONTINUING UPSLOPE EXPECTED...LOOK
FOR STORMS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO BEGIN A BIT EARLIER ALONG THE
FOOTHILLS AND HIGHER TERRAIN...AND MAINLY FOCUS THERE AND AND THE
WESTERN PLAINS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO
BE ABOUT FIVE DEGREES COOLER SUNDAY. THE EASTERN PLAINS MAY BE TO
STABLE FOR MANY SHOWERS TO OCCUR.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY THE UPPER RIDGE BEGINS TO BUILD BACK OVER THE
STATE FOR WARMER AND SLIGHTLY DRIER CONDITIONS...THOUGH STILL
EXPECT ISOLATED AFTERNOON AND EVENING STORMS...MAINLY AFFECTING
THE HIGHER TERRAIN.  A CUTOFF LOW THAT WILL BE OVER NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA WILL THEN LIFT NORTHEAST TO PUSH THE RIDGE DOWN TO THE
SOUTHEAST AND HELP BRING UP SOME SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE...INCREASING
OUR THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY WITH COOLING
TEMPERATURES.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE TAFS THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY LATE AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 308 PM MDT FRI AUG 8 2014

AFTERNOON CONVECTION HAS BEEN PRIMARILY OVER THE PALMER DIVIDE SO
FAR THIS AFTERNOON. SOUTHERN APPROACH AND DEPARTURE GATES SHOULD
BE IMPACTED THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING. ONE OR TWO THUNDERSTORMS
MAY STILL MOVE ACROSS THE DENVER METRO AREA AND AIRPORT DURING
THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. OVERNIGHT...VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD
CONTINUE WITH GENTLE DOWNSLOPE WINDS KEEPING ANY STRATUS CLOUDS
WELL TO THE EAST OF THE DENVER AIRPORTS. ON SATURDAY...MORNING AND
EARLY AFTERNOON CONDITIONS SHOULD BE VFR...UNTIL DEVELOPING SHOWERS
OVER THE MOUNTAINS MOVE OVER THE DENVER IN THE AFTERNOON. CEILINGS
SHOULD REMAIN ABOVE 5000FT AGL...EVEN AS THE THUNDERSTORMS MOVE
OVERHEAD.
