AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DENVER/BOULDER CO
316 PM MDT SUN JUN 22 2014

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 315 PM MDT SUN JUN 22 2014

SOME CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED OVER THE FRONT RANGE EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON WITH THE STRONGER ACTIVITY OVER DOUGLAS COUNTY. STORMS
WILL CONTINUE TO EXPAND AND SHIFT EAST OVER THE PLAINS THROUGH
LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. EXPECT STORMS TO BECOME
STRONGER...SOME SEVERE AS THEY MOVE INTO MORE MOISTURE RICH
ENVIRONMENT FURTHER EAST ON THE PLAINS. OVER THE FRONT
RANGE...LATEST ACARS SOUNDINGS NEAR DENVER INDICATE SURFACE BASED
CAPES AROUND 1000J/KG WITH STILL A BIT OF CIN TO OVERCOME. HOWEVER
CLOUDS FROM STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO SLOW HEATING AND OVERALL STORM
STRENGTH WILL BE ON THE WEAKER SIDE.

FOR MONDAY...THE FLOW ALOFT BECOMES MORE WEST AND NORTHWEST WITH
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE GREAT BASIN. THERE WILL BE A BIT
STRONGER AND DEEPER LOW LEVEL FLOW WHILE MID LEVEL FLOW IS
STRONGER. OVERALL...SEVERE WEATHER THREAT LOOKS BETTER ON MONDAY
AFTERNOON WITH BETTER SHEAR PROFILE AND HIGHER INSTABILITY. PW
VALUES ALSO APPROACH AN INCH SO ALSO POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN AND
MORE OF A FLASH FLOOD THREAT. MAIN CHANGE TO ZONES WILL BE TO
INCREASE POPS A BIT OVER THE FRONT RANGE.

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 315 PM MDT SUN JUN 22 2014

NOT MUCH TO SINK ONE'S TEETH INTO DURING THE PERIOD. WEST TO
NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WITH WEAK UPSLOPE LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL KEEP
SOME MOISTURE BANKED UP AGAINST THE MOUNTAINS THROUGH MIDWEEK WITH
CONDITIONS DRYING OUT TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK AND INTO THE
WEEKEND. THESE CONDITIONS WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO KEEP THE THREAT OF
AFTERNOON/EVENING CONVECTION GOING MONDAY EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY
WITH LESSER CHANCES THEREAFTER. INSTABILITY/SHEAR WILL LIKELY BE
ENOUGH TO KEEP A LOW RISK OF SEVERE STORMS DURING THAT PERIOD AS
WELL. TEMPERATURES WILL BE AROUND NORMAL THROUGH MOST OF THE
PERIOD EXCEPT IN THE OUTER PERIODS WHEN WARMER THAN NORMAL
CONDITIONS SHOULD OCCUR.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE TAFS THROUGH 00Z MONDAY LATE AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 315 PM MDT SUN JUN 22 2014

EXPECT MAINLY WEAK CONVECTION OVER TERMINALS AS STRONGER STORMS
REMAIN SOUTH THROUGH DOUGLAS COUNTY. THE TEMPO THUNDER MAY BE TOO
MUCH BUT WILL REEVALUATE OVER NEXT FEW HOURS. COULD SEE A DENVER
CYCLONE SET UP ON MONDAY MORNING AND STILL A POTENTIAL FOR SOME
STRATUS EARLY IN THE AM. BETTER COVERAGE OF STORMS FOR MONDAY
AFTERNOON WITH DEEPER MOISTURE...UPSLOPE FLOW AND DENVER CYCLONE
IN PLACE.
