AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DENVER/BOULDER CO
329 PM MDT SUN JUL 13 2014

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 223 PM MDT SUN JUL 13 2014

NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL PREVAIL TONIGHT AND MONDAY. A WEAK WAVE
EMBEDDED IN THE FLOW IS TRIGGERING STORMS OVER SOUTHEAST WYOMING AND
NORTHEAST COLORADO. CAPES ARE 1000 TO 2000 J/KG OVER THE NORTHEAST
CORNER...THIS COMBINED WITH SOME MARGINAL SHEAR MAY PRODUCE A FEW
SEVERE STORMS...MAINLY NORTH OF A LINE FROM GREELEY TO AKRON. CAPES
ALONG THE FRONT RANGE ARE LESS THAN 1000 J/KG AND SHEAR IS LESS...SO
THE SEVERE THREAT WILL BE LOWER. PRECIPITABLE WATER IS AROUND AN
INCH AND MAY LEAD TO HEAVY RAIN FROM SOME STORMS. STORM MOVEMENT OF
10 TO 20 MPH WILL KEEP THE FLASH FLOOD THREAT LOW. THE CHANCE FOR
STORMS WILL END FROM NORTH TO SOUTH AGAIN. SOME STORMS MAY HANG ON
AFTER MIDNIGHT OVER THE EASTERN PLAINS...MAINLY SOUTH OF I-70.

MID LEVEL FLOW WILL INCREASE MONDAY. THIS WILL INCREASE THE SHEAR.
EVEN THOUGH ENOUGH SHEAR WILL BE PRESENT FOR SEVERE STORMS...CAPES
WILL BE LOW...LESS THAN 500 J/KG. IF CAPES CAN CREEP HIGHER...THE
CHANCES FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL INCREASE. STILL A LOW THREAT FOR
FLASH FLOODING DUE TO PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES AROUND AN INCH. BEST
CHANCE FOR STORMS WILL BE OVER THE MOUNTAINS...FOOTHILLS AND FRONT
RANGE. THE NORTHEAST PLAINS COULD END UP TOO STABLE FOR STORMS.
HIGHS WILL AGAIN BE MILD FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR WITH READINGS IN THE
LOWER TO MID 80S.

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 223 PM MDT SUN JUL 13 2014

MODELS CONTINUE TO HAVE AN UPPER RIDGE CENTERED OVER THE GREAT
BASIN AND A SIGNIFICANT UPPER TROUGH/CLOSED LOW OVER THE GREAT
LAKES MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THE CWA STAYS IN
MODERATE NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT MONDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNEDAY. THE
FLOW ALOFT WEAKENS WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND IS WEST-
NORTHWESTERLY IN DIRECTION. THE QG VERTICAL VELOCITY FIELDS SHOW
WEAK UPWARD SYNOPTIC SCALE ENERGY FOR THE CWA MONDAY NIGHT INTO
WEDNESDAY EVENING. THE BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW HAS AN EASTERLY
COMPONENT TO IT ALL FIVE PERIODS FOR THE DIVIDE EASTWARD. AN
UPSLOPE SURGE IS PROGGED INTO THE CWA WEDNESDAY MORNING. AGAIN...
MOISTURE IS AMPLE THROUGH THE PERIODS. THE DEW POINTS ARE PROGGED
TO STAY IN THE LOWER 50S TO LOWER 60S F THROUGH THE PERIODS AND
THE PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES STAY IN THE 0.80 TO 1.30 INCH RANGE
FOR THE PLAINS AND FOOTHILLS. A DECENT THETA-E AXIS STAYS OVER
CENTRAL COLORADO THE ENTIRE TIME. THERE IS SOME CAPE OVER THE
WESTERN HALF OF THE CWA MONDAY EVENING...THERE IS PRACTICALLY
NOTHING OVER THE EAST. THERE IS SIGNIFICANT CAPE OVER MUCH OF THE
CWA FOR LATE DAY TUESDAY...WITH THE WESTERN PLAINS HAVING VALUES
WELL ABOVE 2000 J/KG. ON WEDNESDAY...THE NAM IS MUCH MORE STABLE
BEHIND THE COLD FRONT...THE GFS HAS FAIRLY DECENT CAPE FOR THE
WESTERN PLAINS DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WILL KEEP MOSTLY
"CHANCE"S FOR THE LATE DAY PERIODS. WILL HAVE TO WATCH AND SEE
WHAT IS WHAT CONCERNING THE COOLER AIR AND STABILITY FOR
WEDNESDAY'S SITUATION. FOR TEMPERATURES...TUESDAY'S HIGHS ARE 0-2
C COOLER THAN MONDAY'S. WEDNESDAY'S ARE 2-6 C COOLER THAN
TUESDAY'S. FOR THE LATER DAYS...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...MODELS
STILL HAVE THE CWA IN NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT ON THURSDAY. BY
FRIDAY...THE UPPER RIDGE CENTER IS PROGGED TO MIGRATE EASTWARD
INTO ARIZONA/NEW MEXICO. THE FLOW ALOFT REMAINS NORTHWESTERLY
THROUGH SATURDAY. IT IS ZONAL ON SUNDAY. MOISTURE DECREASES FOR
THE FOUR DAY PERIOD...BUT THERE IS STILL SOME. TEMPERATURES GET
BACK TO NORMALS...EVEN ABOVE BY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE TAFS THROUGH 00Z MONDAY LATE AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 223 PM MDT SUN JUL 13 2014

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE MOVE ACROSS THE DENVER THROUGH 02Z.
HEAVY RAIN...SMALL HAIL AND WIND GUSTS TO 40 KNOTS WILL BE POSSIBLE
WITH THE STORMS. SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL TURN SOUTHERLY OVERNIGHT AT
KDEN AND KAPA. OUTFLOW FROM THUNDERSTORMS MAY PRODUCE STRONG
VARIABLE WINDS. ON MONDAY...ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS IS
EXPECTED AFTER 20Z. THE BEST CHANCE FOR STORMS WILL BE CLOSER TO THE
FOOTHILLS.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 223 PM MDT SUN JUL 13 2014

A DRIER AIRMASS AND QUICKER MOVING STORMS WILL KEEP THE FLASH FLOOD
THREAT LOW. HOWEVER...FLOOD PRONE AREAS COULD SEE ISSUES IF A STRONG
STORM OR TWO PASSES OVER. ON MONDAY...AIRMASS WILL AGAIN BE SOMEWHAT
MOIST...BUT MID LEVEL FLOW INCREASES MORE SO STORMS SHOULD BE MOVING
15 TO 25 MPH ONCE THEY BECOME ESTABLISHED...SO THE THREAT FOR FLASH
FLOODING WILL BE LOW AGAIN.
