AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DENVER/BOULDER CO
334 PM MDT MON JUN 23 2014

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 145 PM MDT MON JUN 23 2014

INITIAL CONVECTION HAS REMAINED OVER SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF
CWA...MAINLY PARK AND JEFFERSON COUNTIES AND STRONGEST ACTIVITY OF
TELLER AND A EL PASO COUNTIES. THESE STORMS HAVE SENT AN OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY NORTHWARD OVER DOUGLAS COUNTY. EXPECT SOME BOUNDARY
INTERACTION AS THIS INTERACTS WITH PREEXISTENT DENVER CYCLONE AND
COVERGENT BOUNDARY ACROSS NORTHWEST ELBERT AND CENTRAL ARAPAHOE
COUNTIES. FURTHER NORTH...STILL A CAPPED ENVIRONMENT AROUND 700MB
WITH CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURE AROUND 81 DEGREES NEEDED TO POP OFF
STORMS GIVEN LATEST ACARS SOUNDINGS WITH CAPES AROUND 1000J/KG.
PLATTEVILLE PROFILER DID SHOW INCREASING WINDS AT MID LEVELS WITH
30-40KT NEAR 500MB. IN ADDITION THERE IS A WEAK UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE OVER IDAH WHICH WILL BRUSH COLORADO OVERNIGHT. SHORT
RANGE MODELS SHOWING LATE NIGHT CONVECTION REMAINING OVER FAR NE
COLORADO THRU MUCH OF NIGHT.

LOOKS LIKE A SIMILAR SETUP FOR TUESDAY WITH AMPLE MOISTURE AND
SHEAR FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS...SOME BECOMING SEVERE IN
THE AFTERNOON. MAY BE ANOTHER "LATER SHOW" ESPECIALLY GIVEN
EXITING STORMS EARLY TUESDAY MORNING WITH WORKED OVER AIRMASS AND
SOME SUBSIDENCE OVER THE FAR EAST PLAINS.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 333 PM MDT MON JUN 23 2014

THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE OVER MUCH OF THE AREA TUESDAY EVENING
MAINLY ACROSS THE PLAINS...SHIFTING EAST OF THE AREA AROUND
MIDNIGHT THOUGH SOME SOME STORMS MAY LINGER OVERNIGHT ACROSS THE
FAR EASTERN PLAINS. CAPES EXPECTED TO BE IN THE 1000-1500 J/KG
RANGE...HIGHEST ALONG THE PALMER DIVIDE. FAIRLY DECENT SHEAR TO
PERSIST...SO SOME SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE DURING THE EVENING WITH
LARGE HAIL. AIRMASS TO REMAIN FAIRLY MOIST WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUES RANGING FROM AROUND 0.70 INCHES ALONG THE FOOTHILLS TO
AROUND AN INCH FAR EASTERN PLAINS. STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING HEAVY RAIN ALONG THE FOOTHILLS AND ACROSS THE PLAINS.
WITH STORM MOTION OF AROUND 10 KT...THE THREAT EXISTS FOR
LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING. ON WEDNESDAY...UPPER RIDGE WILL SHIFT
OVER COLORADO WITH WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT. AIRMASS SLIGHTLY WARMER
WITH DRIER AIR BEGINNING TO ADVECT INTO THE AREA FROM THE WEST
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES LOOK TO LOWER TO AROUND 0.60 ALONG THE
FOOTHILLS. TEMPERATURES TO WARM INTO THE LOWER AND MIDDLE 80S
ACROSS THE PLAINS. STILL A FAIRLY MOIST AIRMASS EAST OF THE URBAN
CORRIDOR WITH VALUES APPROACHING AN INCH FAR EASTERN PLAINS. BEST
CAPE TO BE EAST OF THE URBAN CORRIDOR WITH READINGS AROUND
1500-2000 J/KG. STILL APPEARS THE MAIN FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORMS TO
BE EAST OF THE URBAN CORRIDOR WHERE A DRY LINE COULD DEVELOP. WILL
KEEP THE HIGHER POPS THERE. ENOUGH SHEAR FOR A FEW SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS WITH LARGE HAIL THE MAIN THREAT. THERE IS ALSO THE
POTENTIAL FOR THE STORMS TO PRODUCE BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL...BUT
STORM MOTION OF AROUND 15 KTS SHOULD HELP KEEP STORMS MOVING ALONG
AND LOWERING THE THREAT OF FLASH FLOODING. MOST OF THE STORMS
EXPECTED TO MOVE EAST OF THE AREA BY MIDNIGHT...THOUGH A FEW
STORMS COULD LINGER OVERNIGHT FAR EASTERN PLAINS. UPPER LEVEL
RIDGE SHIFTS EAST THURSDAY WITH UPPER TROUGH MOVING INTO GREAT
BASIN. FLOW ALOFT BECOMES WEST SOUTHWEST WITH RIDGE AXIS OVER
EASTERN COLORADO. AIRMASS TO BECOME DRIER WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUES RANGING FROM AROUND 0.50 INCHES ALONG THE FOOTHILLS TO
CLOSE TO AN INCH NEAR THE EASTERN COLORADO BORDER. DRY LINE MAY
END UP FROM FORT MORGAN TO LIMON. BOTH THE GFS AND NAM12 SOUNDINGS
SHOW CAPE VALUES AROUND 2000 J/KG FAR EASTERN CORNER DURING THE
AFTERNOON. ENOUGH SHEAR FOR A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SEVERE STORMS FAR
NORTHEAST PLAINS...GENERALLY EAST OF A STERLING LIMON LINE. WILL
KEEP THE HIGHER POPS FAR EASTERN PLAINS. ON FRIDAY...UPPER TROUGH
MOVES INTO THE GREAT BASIN WITH SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT ACROSS
COLORADO. AIRMASS DRIER BUT ENOUGH MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY FOR A
SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
BEST CHANCE TO BE OVER THE FAR NORTHEAST PLAINS. HIGHS FRIDAY LOOK
TO BE IN THE UPPER 80S ACROSS NORTHEAST COLORADO.

FOR THE LATER DAYS SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY...WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT
TO PREVAIL AS UPPER TROUGH MOVES ACROSS WYOMING. MAIN MID LEVEL QG
ASCENT TO BE NORTH OF COLORADO. ENOUGH MOISTURE AND LIFT FOR A
SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING...MAINLY
ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS. HIGHS TO WARM TO AROUND 90 DEGREES ACROSS
THE PLAINS.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE TAFS THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY LATE AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 333 PM MDT MON JUN 23 2014

DENVER CYCLONE AND CONVERGENCE ZONE WELL ESTABLISHED OVER FAR
NORTHWEST ELBERT AND CENTRAL ARAPAHOE COUNTIES RESULTING IN NORTH
AND NORTHEAST WINDS AT LOCAL TERMINALS. AIRMASS STILL CAPPED BUT
WITH BOUNDARY INTERACTION EXPECTED TO START STORMS BETWEEN 21-22Z.
MOST OF THE STORMS SHOULD MOVE OUT OF THE AREA AFTER 01Z. SIMILAR
SET UP ON TUESDAY EXPECTED WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF STORMS.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 333 PM MDT MON JUN 23 2014

PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES RUNNING AROUND .75" OF AN INCH SIMILAR
TO YESTERDAY. GIVEN MODERATE NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT EXPECT STORMS
TO STILL BE MOVING AT 10-15KT ON AVERAGE. STILL ENOUGH AMPLE
MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY FOR HEAVY RAIN AND POSSIBLE MINOR
FLOODING WITH STRONGER STORMS. STORM MOTION TO BE SLIGHTLY LESS
TUESDAY WITH LITTLE CHANGE IN PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES. THREAT
FOR FLASH FLOODING TO INCREASE A BIT AS A RESULT. SLIGHTLY DRIER
CONDITIONS EXPECTED WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY WITH INCREASING STORM
MOTION. BRIEF HEAVY RAIN STILL POSSIBLE WITH SOME OF THE STORMS
WEDNESDAY.
