AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DENVER/BOULDER CO
326 PM MDT WED AUG 27 2014

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 326 PM MDT WED AUG 27 2014

UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER UTAH WILL SLIDE EAST ACROSS COLORADO TONIGHT
AND INTO NEBRASKA ON THURSDAY. BEST LIFT IS AHEAD OF THE LOW OVER
WESTERN COLORADO ASSOCIATED WITH THE JET. THIS WILL SHIFT EASTWARD
LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. DRIER AT THE MID AND UPPER LEVELS
HAS RESULTED IN SOME CLEARING AND PUSHED TEMPERATURES INTO THE 70S.
THIS WILL PRODUCE CAPES UP TO 1500 J/KG. THIS COMBINED WITH THE
SHEAR MAY HELP A FEW SEVERE STORMS FORM. THE CHANCE FOR SEVERE
STORMS WILL BE ALONG THE FRONT RANGE AND ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS
WITH THE BEST CHANCE BEING OVER THE NORTHEAST PLAINS. A BOUNDARY
OVER THE PLAINS WILL PRODUCE CONVERGENCE AND MAY A FOCAL POINT FOR
INITIAL DEVELOPMENT OVER THE PLAINS. COULD ALSO SEE A BRIEF TORNADO
OR TWO. THE CONVECTION WILL SPREAD NORTH AND EAST THROUGH THE LATE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. INDIVIDUAL CELLS WILL MOVE MAINLY NORTH
WHILE THE ACTIVITY SPREADS EASTWARD. MOST OF THE CONVECTION IS
EXPECTED TO END/MOVE OUT OF THE AREA AROUND MIDNIGHT OR JUST AFTER.

NORTHERLY FLOW WILL BE OVER THE AREA THURSDAY AS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW
LIFTS NORTHEAST OF COLORADO. STILL ENOUGH INSTABILITY FOR SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS ON THURSDAY. CAPES WILL BE 500 J/KG OR LESS. THIS
AND WEAK SHEAR WILL KEEP STORMS FROM BECOMING SEVERE. THOUGH BRIEF
HEAVY RAIN AND SMALL HAIL WILL BE POSSIBLE. COOL AIR BEHIND THE LOW
WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES COOL WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE 70S.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 326 PM MDT WED AUG 27 2014

THURSDAY EVENING SHOULD BE THE TAIL END OF THE SHOWER ACTIVITY
RELATED TO THE PASSING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH. AS THE UPPER TROUGH
AXIS MOVES EASTWARD ACROSS THE NORTHEAST PLAINS...DRIER WEST TO
NORTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. WEAK
UPPER RIDGING WILL BE IN PLACE OVER THE STATE ON FRIDAY...WITH
SUBSIDENCE FROM THE RISING HEIGHTS HELPING TO SUPPRESS MOST SHOWER
ACTIVITY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. THE EXCEPTION TO THIS WILL BE OVER
THE MOUNTAINS AND FOOTHILLS WHERE THE HEATING OF THE ELEVATED
TERRAIN WILL BE ENOUGH TO OVERCOME ANY MID-LEVEL CAPPING INVERSION
THAT DEVELOPS. SATURDAY WILL BE A FEW DEGREES WARMER AS WEAK
RIDGING CONTINUES OVER THE AREA. ONCE AGAIN...THE MOUNTAINS AND
FOOTHILLS SHOULD BE THE ONLY AREAS TO SEE ANY SHOWERS.

ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY...BROAD UPPER TROFFINESS FROM THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST WILL EXPAND OVER THE ROCKIES AND DISPLACE THE UPPER
RIDGING TO THE EASTERN UNITED STATES. ACROSS NORTHEAST
COLORADO...THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS WILL RETURN TO THE FORECAST ALONG
WITH COOLER TEMPERATURES. A LOW AMPLITUDE...ZONAL FLOW IS THEN
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE OVER COLORADO THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK.
TEMPERATURES SHOULD REMAIN BELOW SEASONAL NORMALS WHILE SHOWER
ACTIVITY WILL SHIFT BACK INTO THE MOUNTAINS.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY LATE AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 326 PM MDT WED AUG 27 2014

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE DENVER AREA
THROUGH 04Z. HAIL...HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS WILL
ACCOMPANY THE STRONGER STORMS. LOW CEILINGS AND REDUCED VISIBILITIES
WILL ALSO OCCUR WITH THE STORMS. THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR LOW
CLOUDS THURSDAY MORNING. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
DEVELOP AGAIN THURSDAY...LIKELY BY LATE MORNING...17Z AND LINGER
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 326 PM MDT WED AUG 27 2014

MOISTURE AT THE MID AND UPPER LEVELS HAS DECREASED TODAY.
HOWEVER...THE AIRMASS IS STILL ON THE MOIST SIDE. THIS COMBINED WITH
GOOD INSTABILITY WILL RESULT IN SOME THUNDERSTORMS PRODUCING HEAVY
RAIN. STORMS ARE STILL EXPECTED TO PROGRESS NORTH AND EAST THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING...AND NOT STALL OUT. THE RISK FOR FLASH
FLOODING WILL BE LOW...AND LIKELY ISOLATED AT MOST. THUS WILL NOT
ISSUE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH.

THE THREAT FOR FLOODING ON THURSDAY WILL BE VERY LOW DUE TO WEAKER
STORMS AND A DRIER AIRMASS.
