AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DENVER/BOULDER CO
350 PM MDT WED JUN 4 2014

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 349 PM MDT WED JUN 4 2014

THE AIRMASS OVER NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST COLORADO HAS REMAINED
DRY AND STABLE UP TO THIS POINT. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ACROSS
THE PLAINS ARE STILL BETWEEN ONE-HALF AND THREE-QUARTERS OF AN
INCH BASED ON GOES SOUNDER AND GPS DATA. ADDITIONAL MOISTENING OF
THE AIRMASS IS EXPECTED THROUGH THIS EVENING AS SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW
CONTINUES. LATER THIS EVENING COULD SEE CONVECTION DEVELOP ON THE
NORTHEASTERN PLAINS. CROSS SECTIONS SHOW A DECENT AMOUNT OF LOW
AND MID LEVEL RELATIVE HUMIDITY ON THE PLAINS TOMORROW MORNING.
THIS SHOULD PRODUCE QUITE A BIT OF STRATUS FROM THE DENVER AREA TO
THE NORTH AND EAST. TOMORROW WILL SEE CONTINUED MOIST EASTERLY
FLOW AT LOW LEVELS AND MODERATE WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT. THIS SHOULD
PRODUCE A DECENT SHEAR PROFILE TO GO WITH A MOIST AND UNSTABLE
AFTERNOON AIRMASS. COULD SEE A DECENT ROUND OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE PLAINS. ALL IN ALL...IT ALMOST LOOKS LIKE
A CLASSIC DAY 2 SCENARIO.

MOUNTAIN AREAS SHOULD REMAIN DRY AS THE MID-LEVEL WESTERLIES KEEP
THE DEEP MOISTURE CONFINED TO THE PLAINS. WITH INCREASED CLOUD
COVER OVER THE PLAINS THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY...HIGH TEMPERATURES
SHOULD BE ANOTHER 4-8 DEGREES COOLER THAN THIS AFTERNOON.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 349 PM MDT WED JUN 4 2014

WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WEDNESDAY EVENING WITH 7H TROUGH MOVING INTO
THE GREAT BASIN. SURFACE WINDS BECOME MORE SOUTHEAST WHICH WILL
HELP ADVECT MORE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE INTO EASTERN COLORADO.
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES RANGE FROM AROUND 0.70 NEAR DENVER TO
0.90 FAR EASTERN PLAINS. SHOULD SEE STORMS CONTINUE DURING THE
EVENING WITH SOME INCREASE IN MID LEVEL QG ASCENT. SOME STORMS
ACROSS THE PLAINS COULD PRODUCE BRIEF HEAVY RAIN...BUT WESTERLY
STORM MOTION AROUND 15 MPH SHOULD KEEP FLASH FLOOD THREAT LOW.
MOST OF THE ACTIVITY TO MOVE EAST OF THE AREA BY MIDNIGHT...BUT
WITH MID LEVEL ASCENT OVERHEAD...SOME SHOWERS AND STORMS TO LINGER
BEYOND MIDNIGHT MAINLY FAR EASTERN PLAINS. ON FRIDAY FLOW ALOFT
REMAINS WESTERLY WITH UPPER TROUGH OVER THE GREAT BASIN. MODELS
SHOW THETA-E AXIS REMAINING OVER EASTERN COLORADO WITH SURFACE
FLOW BECOMING EASTERLY. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES LOOK TO INCREASE
TO NEAR 0.80 AROUND DENVER AND CLOSE TO AN INCH FAR EASTERN
PLAINS. WITH SLIGHTLY UNSTABLE AIRMASS AND SOME MID LEVEL ASCENT
IN PLACE...SHOULD SEE THUNDERSTORM CHANCES INCREASE BY THE
AFTERNOON. BEST CHANCE FOR STORMS TO BE EAST OF THE CONTINENTAL
DIVIDE. SOME STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING BRIEF HEAVY RAIN.
APPEARS TO BE ENOUGH STORM MOTION TO KEEP STORMS MOVING. AIRMASS
TO BE SLIGHTLY COOLER WITH INCREASED CLOUD COVER. STORMS TO
PERSIST INTO THE EVENING WITH SOME DECREASE AROUND MIDNIGHT. BUT
ENOUGH LIFT TO KEEP SOME SHOWERS AND STORMS GOING OVERNIGHT. ON
SATURDAY...TROUGH MOVES ACROSS THE STATE WITH COOLER AIRMASS.
SURFACE HIGH MOVES SOUTH ACROSS EASTERN COLORADO AND WESTERN
KANSAS HELPING TO INCREASE UPSLOPE. INCREASING MID LEVEL ASCENT
AND INSTABILITY WILL ALLOW FOR A DECENT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMSBY
THE AFTERNOON. AGAIN...STORMS COULD PRODUCE BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL
WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES RANGING FROM 0.80 ALONG THE
FOOTHILLS TO CLOSE TO AN INCH FAR EASTERN PLAINS. AIRMASS TO BE
COOLER WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE UPPER 60S ACROSS THE PLAINS. FOR
SUNDAY...FLOW ALOFT BECOMES NORTHWEST AS TROUGH MOVES INTO FAR
EASTERN PLAINS. AIRMASS TO BECOME SLIGHTLY DRIER BUT ENOUGH
MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY FOR SOME CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS BY THE
AFTERNOON...MAINLY ACROSS THE PLAINS. TEMPERATURES WARM SLIGHTLY
WITH READINGS AROUND 70 DEGREES OVER THE PLAINS.

FOR THE LATER DAYS...MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...WARMER AND DRIER
CONDITIONS TO PREVAIL AS RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE AREA. STILL ENOUGH
MOISTURE FOR A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS...MAINLY OVER THE
HIGHER TERRAIN.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY LATE AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 349 PM MDT WED JUN 4 2014

GOES SOUNDER TOTAL PRECIPITABLE WATER DATA THIS AFTERNOON SHOWS
THE AIRMASS OVER NORTHEAST COLORADO IS SLOW TO MOISTEN UP. WITHOUT
DEEPER MOISTURE...CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP WILL REMAIN
LOW. MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW MOISTURE INCREASING FROM THE
SOUTHEAST LATER THIS EVENING. IF SHOWERS DEVELOP OVER THE
NORTHEAST PLAINS...THEN OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES WILL HELP TRANSPORT LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE INTO THE DENVER AREA. SHOULD SEE A BIT MORE STRATUS
THAN WE HAD THIS MORNING SINCE SHOWERS WILL BE OCCURRING CLOSER
THAN THEY WERE LAST NIGHT. MVFR CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED TOMORROW
MORNING...AND THEN THE STAGE WILL BE SET FOR THUNDERSTORMS TO
DEVELOP TOMORROW AFTERNOON.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 349 PM MDT WED JUN 4 2014

TEMPERATURES WILL BE COOLING BACK TO NORMAL SEASONAL VALUES FOR
THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS WHICH WILL HELP RUNOFF RETURN TO MORE
MANAGEABLE LEVELS. TODAY IS ALREADY SOME 5-10 DEGREES COOLER THAN
YESTERDAY AT LOWER LEVELS...SO THE OVERNIGHT CRESTS SHOULD BE A
LITTLE LOWER THAN WHAT WAS RECORDED THIS MORNING.

SHOWERS ARE RETURNING TO THE FORECAST...ESPECIALLY FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY. THE IMPACT ON STREAMFLOWS IS GOING TO BE RELATED TO
LOCATION OF THE SHOWERS. IF THEY REMAIN OVER THE PLAINS...THE
IMPACT ON MAINSTREAM RIVERS SHOULD BE MINIMAL. HOWEVER...IF
SHOWERS DEVELOP OVER THE FOOTHILLS AND REMAIN FAIRLY
STATIONARY...THEN THE RAINFALL COULD HAVE AN IMPACT. CROSS
SECTIONS SHOW WESTERLY FLOW...ALBEIT WEAK AT TIMES...ABOVE 600 MB.
THIS SHOULD HELP SHOWERS TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE FOOTHILLS AFTER
INITIAL DEVELOPMENT. THESE FACTORS SHOULD KEEP THE THREAT OF HEAVY
RAIN IN THE FOOTHILLS LOW...BUT WE WILL KEEP AN EYE ON THE
SITUATION AS IT EVOLVES.
