UPDATES FOR CURRENT CONDITIONS. NO OTHER CHANGES AT THIS TIME. LW

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 315 AM MDT FRI AUG 8 2014

UPPER TROUGH LIFTING NORTHEASTWARD OUT OF WY THIS MORNING...WITH
BEST FORCING FOR CONVECTION PUSHING EASTWARD INTO THE HIGH PLAINS.
ISOLATED -SHRA/WEAK TSRA NEAR THE PALMER DIVIDE EARLIER THIS MORNING
HAVE JUST ABOUT DISSIPATED AS OF 0930Z...AND WILL RUN WITH A DRY
FORECAST ALL AREAS UNTIL MIDDAY. FOR TODAY...EXPECT A DOWNTURN IN
CONVECTION OVER MUCH OF THE HIGHER TERRAIN...ALTHOUGH WATER VAPOR
LOOP SUGGESTS JUST ENOUGH MOISTURE IS PRESENT OVER THE MOUNTAINS TO
PRODUCE AT LEAST ISOLATED TSRA DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING. FARTHER EAST OVER THE PLAINS AND I-25 CORRIDOR...LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE IS MORE PLENTIFUL...AND MODELS SUGGEST STRONG INSTABILITY
(CAPES 1-2K J/KG) OVER THE PLAINS NEAR THE KS BORDER THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON. NOT MUCH UPPER LEVEL FORCING TO HELP WITH STORM
INITIATION...ALTHOUGH CONVERGENCE NEAR RESIDUAL BOUNDARIES FROM
CONVECTION EARLIER THIS MORNING MAY BE ENOUGH TO FIRE A FEW TSRA BY
LATE AFTERNOON. LIKE YESTERDAY...A FEW STORMS COULD BECOME
MARGINALLY SEVERE WITH 0-6KM SHEAR AROUND 30KTS OVER THE FAR EASTERN
PLAINS. CONVECTION COULD LAST WELL INTO THE EVENING EAST OF I-25 AS
ACTIVITY BUILDS SOUTHEASTWARD TOWARD NOSE OF 60-65 DEGREE DEWPOINTS
PUSHING INTO THE AREA FROM KS. TEMPS TODAY AND TONIGHT LOOK LITTLE
CHANGED FROM THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS...WITH READINGS NEAR SEASONAL
AVERAGES.

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 315 AM MDT FRI AUG 8 2014

...MONSOON CONTINUES THROUGH NEXT WEEK...

MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL OVER THE AREA LOOKS TO BE A GOOD BET
THROUGH THE EXTENDED...AS THE MONSOONAL PATTERN CONTINUES. SOME
SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE GFS AND ECMWF IN THE LATTER PART
OF THE FORECAST WILL DETERMINE THE DETAILS...BUT SAFE TO SAY THE
MONSOON WILL NOT BE SUPPRESSED.

SATURDAY...LOOKS PRETTY SUMMER LIKE WITH TEMPS TOPPING OUT IN THE
LOWER 90S ACROSS MUCH OF THE PLAINS. THERE IS GOOD AGREEMENT IN
THE MODELS THAT AN MCS WILL DEVELOP OVER NE CO BY LATE AFTERNOON OR
EARLY EVE...SENDING OUTFLOW SWD ACROSS THE PLAINS AND PROBABLY
SPARKING ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT OVER THE ERN PLAINS THROUGH THE
EVE. HAVE BOOSTED POPS TO GO WITH THIS SCENARIO. THERE IS JUST
ENOUGH SHEAR THAT WE COULD SEE A MARGINALLY SEVERE STORM OVR TWO
EARLY IN THIS PERIOD...OVER THE PALMER DVD OR SE PLAINS N OF HGWY
50. EXPECT CONVECTION TO PERSIST THROUGH A GOOD PORTION OF SAT
NIGHT IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE MCS AND OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES.

SUNDAY...POSSIBLY THE WETTEST DAY OF THE EXTENDED AS GOOD UPSLOPE
BECOMES FIRMLY ENTRENCHED OVER THE PLAINS. WILL SEE STORMS FIRE
ACROSS THE MTS BY LATE MORNING...THEN SPREAD EWD DURING THE
AFTERNOON. HAVE BOOSTED POPS TO SOLID CHANCE BY AFTERNOON AS
STORMS ORGANIZE OVER THE PLAINS. ACTIVITY WILL THEN SHIFT S AND
E OF OUR CWA BY SUN EVE...BUT CANNOT RULE OUT A ROGUE STORM OR
TWO THRU MON MORNING AS PLENTY OF LLVL MOISTURE WILL BE IN PLACE.

BY TUE-WED...THE UPPER RIDGE WILL BUILD OVER SE CO AND WE SHOULD
SE A BIT OF A DRYING TREND...ESPECIALLY FOR THE PLAINS. WILL LEAVE
SLIGHT CHANCE POPS IN FOR NOW...BUT THERE SHOULD BE NOTICEABLY LEFT
ACTIVITY FOR THE MIDWEEK PERIOD. TEMPS SHOULD REBOUND TO NR AVERAGE
FOR THE PLAINS...OR AROUND 90 FOR A HIGH.

THU AND BEYOND...THIS IS WHERE THE GFS AND EC DIVERGE. THE EC
DEVELOPS A CUTOFF OVER THE WEST COAST...WHICH THEN SLOWLY PROGRESSES
TO THE EAST THOUGH NEXT WEEKEND. THIS PATTERN WOULD DRIVE QUITE A
BIT OF MOISTURE UP FROM THE SOUTH INTO WRN CO...AND WOULD MEAN AT LEAST
SEVERAL DAYS IF NOT MORE OF MDT TO HEAVY RAIN FOR THE CONTDVD AND
SW MTS...AND THE POSSIBILITY OF FLASH FLOODING IN THE MT AREAS.
THE GFS...ON THE OTHER HAND...IS MUCH MORE PROGRESSIVE AND BRINGS
THE LOW THROUGH AS AN OPEN WAVE TROUGH OVER THE NRN
ROCKIES...WHICH WOULD BRING SOME HEAVY RAIN TO THE MTS WED-
THU...THEN A SHOT OF MORE PRECIP FOR THE PLAINS BY FRI AND THE
WEEKEND AS THE TROUGH RACES EWD. TEND TO FAVOR THE EC WHICH HAS A
BETTER 500 MB TRACK RECORD IN THE EXTENDED...AND ABOUT ONE THIRD
OF THE GFS ENSEMBLE MEMBERS SUPPORT THE EC SOLUTION.
REGARDLESS...IT LOOKS LIKE THE WET PATTERN WILL CONTINUE FOR MOST
OF OUR AREA THROUGH LATE NEXT WEEK AND BEYOND. WILL KEEP US BUSY
WATCHING THE BURN SCARS FOR SURE. ROSE

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1219 PM MDT FRI AUG 8 2014

WILL KEEP TAF SITES VFR THOUGH WILL NEED TO CLOSELY MONITOR STORM
TRENDS.  THIS AFTERNOON...EXPECT MAINLY ISOLATED TSRA TO DEVELOP
OVER THE MOUNTAINS WITH SLIGHTLY BETTER CHANCES FOR TSRA OVER THE
PLAINS WHERE MOISTURE WILL BE DEEPER. WILL INCLUDE A VCTS MENTION
FOR KCOS AND KPUB FOR A FEW HOURS THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY
EVENING...AND SOME MVFR CONDITIONS WILL BE FOUND UNDER THE
STRONGER STORMS. CONVECTION WILL END FROM WEST TO EAST DURING THE
EVENING AS MERGING STORMS SHIFT EASTWARD INTO KS/OK. LW

THE MAIN THREATS FROM STORMS WILL BE BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL...GUSTY
WINDS UP TO 40 MPH AND LIGHTNING. HOWEVER...ONE OR TWO STRONGER
