AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHEYENNE WY
340 PM MDT WED AUG 6 2014

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 320 PM MDT WED AUG 6 2014

CONVECTION WAS EARLY TO START TODAY WITH INITIATION OCCURRING AS A
RESULT OF TWO SEPARATE CATALYSTS. THE FIRST AREA OF CONVECTION
DEVELOPED OVR THE HIER ELEVATIONS OF CARBON/ALBANY/LARAMIE COUNTIES
WHERE LFQ OF A 75 KNOT H3 JET STREAK APPROACHES. THE OTHER AREA OF
CONVECTION FIRED IN CLOSE PROXIMITY OF A WELL-DEFINED SHORTWAVE THAT
WAS DROPPING SOUTHEAST FROM NE WY INTO THE NRN NEBRASKA PANHANDLE.
AT THE SFC...60F ISODROSOTHERM EXTENDS ALONG THE NORTH PLATTE RIVER
VALLEY WITH A WEAK NW/SE FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXTENDING ALONG THE ERN
PLAINS. CONVECTIVE COVERAGE AND STRENGTH WILL INCREASE AND EXPAND AS
THE H3 JET STREAK LIFTS NORTHEAST AND INTERACTS WITH THE SHORTWAVE
ENERGY...MOISTURE AND SFC BOUNDARY. SPC ANALYSIS DEPICTS ABOUT 1500
J/KG OF AVAILABLE SBCAPES EXTENDING FROM ERN WYOMING INTO THE WRN
NEBRASKA PANHANDLE. BEST COVERAGE AND ORGANIZATION WILL LIKELY BE
EAST OF THE SFC BOUNDARY AS THE SHEAR ENVIRONMENT BECOMES MORE
FAVORABLE LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING. A FEW STORMS
MAY BECOME STRONG TO LOCALLY SEVERE IN THIS AREA TONIGHT. CONVECTION
WILL DISSIPATE AS THE AIR MASS STABILIZES LATE THIS EVENING.

RIDGE AXIS FLATTENS FARTHER TO THE SOUTH ON THURSDAY AS A DEEPER
SHORTWAVE MOVES INTO WRN WYOMING. OTHERWISE...SEE LITTLE CHANGE IN
THE OVERALL SYNOPTIC PATTERN. PWAT VALUES LOOK VERY SIMILAR TO THOSE
TODAY WITH THE ONE INCH LINE HOVERING VERY CLOSE TO THE WY/NE
STATELINE. LIKEWISE...MODELS CONTINUE TO PROG THE WK QUASISTATIONARY
BOUNDARY DRAPED OVER THE ERN PLAINS. CONVECTION WILL DEVELOP IN
SIMILAR TIMING AS TODAY WITH STRENGTHENING LATER IN THE AFTERNOON
AND EARLY EVENING AS THEY ENCOUNTER A BETTER AIR MASS. SBCAPES ARE
AGAIN PROGD TO REACH 1000-1500 J/KG. SO ALTHOUGH HEAVY RAIN WILL BE
THE MAIN HAZARD TO ACCOMPANY THESE THUNDERSTORMS...A FEW MAY BECOME
STRONG TO LOCALLY SEVERE. CONTINUED SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM CHANCES
THURSDAY NIGHT AS THE AFOREMENTIONED SHORTWAVE MEANDERS TOWARDS THE
CWFA.

THIS SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE THROUGH AT SOME POINT ON FRIDAY. MODELS
DIFFER SOME ON HOW THIS WILL EVOLVE. HOWEVER...IN ALL CASE EXPECT
ANOTHER GOOD CHANCE FOR ADDL SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES DURING
THE DAY ON FRIDAY.

TEMPERATURES WILL VARY LITTLE THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK WITH HIGHS
CLIMBING INTO THE 80S EAST OF THE LARAMIE RANGE...WITH 70S/LOW 80S
WEST.

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 320 PM MDT WED AUG 6 2014

AREA REMAINS IN A RATHER MOIST MONSOONAL PATTERN THROUGH MUCH OF
THE EXTENDED WITH DIURNAL CHANCES OF STORMS. THE SUBTROPICAL HIGH
IS LOCATED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS FROM SAT THROUGH MON WHICH
KEEPS MIDLEVEL FLOW SOUTH-TO-SOUTHWEST...WITH MOISTURE STREAMING
IN FROM ARIZONA/UTAH. THE MOST WIDESPREAD COVERAGE OF STORMS LOOKS
TO BE ON SUN AS SFC WINDS TURN EASTERLY IN RESPONSE TO A SFC HIGH
OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS. STEERING FLOW IS ALSO SOUTHERLY ON SUN
AFTN SO MAY TO WATCH FOR HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL ALONG THE LARAMIE
RANGE FOOTHILLS. LI VALUES ARE -4C TO -6C ON SUN AND MON
AFTNS...HOWEVER WITH BULK SHEAR AT 25 KTS...THE SVR POTENTIAL
LOOKS LIMITED (WHICH IS NORMAL FOR MID AUG). TEMPS THROUGH EARLY
NEXT WEEK WILL BE SEASONAL. THE GFS AND ECMWF BOTH INDICATE A
SHORTWAVE PASSING OVER THE CWA ON TUES NIGHT WITH DRIER WEST TO
NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT BEHIND IT.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY MORNING)
ISSUED AT 1148 AM MDT WED AUG 6 2014

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND TSTMS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS SOUTHEAST WY OVER
THE NEXT FEW HOURS AND THEN PROGRESS EASTWARD INTO THE NEBRASKA
PANHANDLE THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING. MAIN THREAT FROM THE STORMS
WILL BE BRIEF GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS.  KEPT MVFR CIGS AT CDR
THROUGH THE EARLY AFTERNOON. IFR CONDITIONS COULD DEVELOP ACROSS
THE NORTHERN NEBRASKA PANHANDLE AFTER 09Z THURS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
ISSUED AT 320 PM MDT WED AUG 6 2014

THE UNSETTLED PATTERN WILL KEEP FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS AT BAY AT
LEAST INTO THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. THE MONSOONAL MOISTURE FETCH WILL
REMAIN IN PLACE...SPARKING DAILY AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS. THESE WILL BE EFFICIENT RAIN PRODUCERS SO EXPECT
TO SEE A GOOD CHANCE OF WETTING RAINS FOR MOST LOCATIONS ACROSS THE
DISTRICT. TEMPERATURES WILL BE SEASONAL...HOVERING IN THE UPPER 70S
AND 80S ACROSS LOWER ELEVATIONS.
