ISSUED AT 402 AM MDT SAT MAY 17 2014

RADAR INDICATED ISOLATED VIRGA/SHOWERS OVER NORTHWEST COLORADO AND
THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL MOUNTAINS EARLY THIS MORNING IN RESPONSE
TO A WEAK DISTURBANCE IN NORTHWEST FLOW.

LATER TODAY BUILDING A LOW AMPLITUDE RIDGE OVER THE AREA. DESPITE
THE PRESENCE OF THE RIDGE...LINGERING MOISTURE...OROGRAPHIC LIFT
...AND A WEAK SHORTWAVE MOVING THROUGH THE RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO
GENERATE SHOWERS OVER THE DIVIDE MOUNTAINS OF COLORADO AND THE
EASTERN UINTA MOUNTAINS IN NORTHEAST UTAH. EXPECT A FEW TSTMS THIS
AFTERNOON AS LIFTED INDICES RANGE FROM 0 TO -2. MOISTURE REMAINS
RELATIVELY HIGH BASED SO NOT EXPECTING SIGNIFICANT PCPN TOTALS.
SNOW LEVELS AT OR ABOVE 10.5 KFT SO EXCEPT FOR THE HIGHER PASSES
...NOT EXPECTING MUCH IMPACT FROM SNOWFALL. DEEP MIXING WILL YIELD
BREEZY CONDITIONS DURING THE AFTERNOON WHICH WILL HELP RAISE
AFTERNOON HIGHS TO ABOUT 5 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL ON AVERAGE.

THE NEXT NORTHERN PACIFIC TROUGH WORKS INTO THE PACIFIC NW TONIGHT
INTO SUNDAY. LOCALLY THIS BACKS AND STRENGTHENS THE FLOW ALOFT TO

FORECAST AREA RESULTING IN A DRY SOUTHERLY FLOW THROUGH THURSDAY.
THE WEAKENING LOW PROGGED TO DRIFT SOUTH OF THE AREA FRIDAY
PLACING THE REGION UNDER A WEAK DEFORMATION ZONE. A MINOR INFLUX
OF MOISTURE COMBINED WITH DAYTIME HEATING AND WEAK LIFT FROM THE
