.SHORT TERM...(THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 234 PM MDT MON AUG 25 2014

COOL AIRMASS HAS MOVED OVER NORTHEAST COLORADO TODAY. EASTERLY LOW
LEVEL FLOW HAS INCREASED DEW POINTS THROUGH THE DAY. AS THE AIRMASS
CONTINUES TO SLOWLY WARM...THE CAP SHOULD BE BROKEN. STORMS ARE
STARTING TO FORM OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN AND WILL SPREAD EASTWARD
THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. STILL A CHANCE FOR SEVERE
WEATHER TODAY. SURFACE BASED CAPES WILL CLIMB TO AROUND 1000 J/KG.
THIS COMBINED WITH GOOD SHEAR SHOULD RESULT IN A FEW SEVERE STORMS.
BEST CHANCE FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE EAST OF I-25 WHERE THE
GREATEST MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY WILL RESIDE. HAIL UP TO GOLF BALL
SIZE AND WIND GUSTS TO 60 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE. BECAUSE OF THE SHEAR
AND SOMEWHAT LOW LCL...CAN'T RULE OUT A BRIEF TORNADO.

SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL PROGRESS EASTWARD THIS EVENING AND IS
EXPECTED TO END AROUND OR JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT. DUE THE MOIST
SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL KEEP LOW POPS IN THE FORECAST FOR LATE
TONIGHT AND EARLY TUESDAY. LOW CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED TUESDAY
MORNING AND PERHAPS FOG BECAUSE OF THE MOIST LOW LEVELS.

SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL PREVAIL OVER COLORADO TUESDAY AROUND A
CLOSED LOW OVER THE GREAT BASIN. APPEARS THERE WILL BE A WAVE THAT
WILL AFFECT THE AREA LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND INTO TUESDAY NIGHT.
MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES
CLIMBING TO AN INCH TO 1.25 ALONG THE FRONT RANGE AND ACROSS THE
EASTERN PLAINS. CAPES MAY CLIMB UP TO 2000 J/KG IF TEMPERATURES
ARE ABLE TO REACH THE MID TO UPPER 70S. SO THERE WILL BE A CHANCE
FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AGAIN TUESDAY AFTERNOON. BECAUSE OF THE
MOIST AIRMASS THERE WILL ALSO BE A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR FLASH
FLOODING. STORMS WILL BE MOVING AT A GOOD CLIP...SO THE THREAT
WILL BE ON THE LOW SIDE.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 234 PM MDT MON AUG 25 2014

ALONG WITH THE MOISTURE THERE IS DECENT QG ASCENT AND INSTABILITY
ON BOTH WEDNESDAY EVENING  AND THURSDAY WHEN THE TROUGH MOVES
OVER THE CWA. INCREASED POPS ON WEDNESDAY OVER MOUNTAINS AND OVER
THE FAR NORTHEAST CORNER. OVER THE PLAINS AND FRONT RANGE ENOUGH
WARMING OCCURS ALOFT THAT CONDITIONS WILL INCLUDE MORE RAIN
SHOWERS WITH JUST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS EARLY
WEDNESDAY.

WITH A MIXTURE OF RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS OVERNIGHT WEDNESDAY INTO
