AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

339 PM MDT FRI AUG 8 2014

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 339 PM MDT FRI AUG 8 2014

...THUNDERSTORMS AGAIN THIS EVENING BUT FEWER AND FARTHER BETWEEN
THAN YESTERDAY...

DRIER AIR IS BEGINNING TO WORK IN FROM THE WEST.  SURFACE DEWPOINTS
ARE NOW WIDESPREAD IN THE 20S AND 30S ACROSS THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS
AND HIGH VALLEYS.  HOWEVER...THERE IS STILL THE SURFACE MOISTURE ON
THE PLAINS WITH DEWPOINTS REMAINING IN THE 50S TO LOWER 60S AT THIS
HOUR.  SO...CONVECTION WILL PROBABLY BE MINIMAL OVER THE MOUNTAINS
THIS EVENING...WITH MOST ACTIVITY ACROSS THE PLAINS...AND MOSTLY
ALONG THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE PALMER AND RATON RIDGES. SHEERS ARE
ROUGHLY 25-35 KNOTS SO STILL SOME HAIL POTENTIAL ALTHOUGH 3/8 INCH
DIAMETER WAS THE BIGGEST REPORTED FROM THE STORM OVER FORT CARSON
EARLIER.  SO LARGE HAIL POTENTIAL IS PROBABLY PRETTY LOW THIS
EVENING.  MAIN THREATS WILL BE HEAVY RAIN...LIGHTNING AND WINDS TO
ABOUT 50 MPH. CELLS OCCURRING NOW SHOULD CONTINUE TO TRACK EASTWARD
AND DEVELOP/MERGE INTO CELL CLUSTERS AS THEY HEAD FOR THE KANSAS
BORDER THROUGH THE EVENING.  HEAVY RAIN/FLOOD POTENTIAL WILL
INCREASE AS THIS OCCURS.

TOMORROW...LETS DO IT AGAIN.  SAME DEAL...DIFFERENT DAY.  THE GFS
SUGGESTS A LATER SHOW...MORE INTO SATURDAY NIGHT.  HOWEVER...THE NAM
LOOKS A LOT LIKE TODAY WITH TIMING AND COVERAGE.  IN ANY
EVENT...THERE WILL PROBABLY BE ENOUGH TO KEEP US BUSY. SIMILAR STORM
THREATS AS THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS...HEAVY RAIN...HAIL UP TO 1
INCH...WIND GUSTS TO 50 MPH...LIGHTNING. LW

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 339 PM MDT FRI AUG 8 2014

SATURDAY NIGHT...NAM AND GFS DIFFER ON PLACEMENT OF AN MCS OVER
EASTERN COLORADO AND WESTERN KANSAS. HAVE PUT HIGHEST POPS OVER
THE PLAINS IN THE FAR NORTHEASTERN PART OF OUR CWA WITH THE REST
OF THE CONVECTION WANING IN THE EVENING.

SUNDAY...THE NAM AND GFS GIVING DIFFERENT SCENARIOS WITH REGARD
TO INSTABILITY WITH THE NAM HAVING A MORE STABLE CLOUD REGIME
ACROSS THE PLAINS. HOWEVER...BOTH MODELS SHOWING ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORM OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND ADJACENT
TERRAIN. WILL LIKELY HAVE STORMS IGNITE ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS
MIDDAY...THEN SPREAD EAST INTO MORE STABLE AIR DURING THE
AFTERNOON. ACTIVITY WILL MOVE SOUTH AND EAST OF OUR CWA BY
EVENING...BUT ISOLATED SHOWERS AND STORMS MAY LINGER THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY...WITH UPPER RIDGE BUILDING INTO THE
AREAS...AND CAPE VALUES GENERALLY BELOW 1000 J/KG...AND A
SLIGHTLY DRIER ATMOSPHERE...WE CAN EXPECT ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND STORMS JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE ACROSS THE CWA.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...NEXT PLAYER IS TROUGH DIGGING INTO THE
WEST. GFS AND EUROPEAN HAVE DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS...BUT THE GENERAL
OUTLOOK IS FOR THE TROUGH TO PASS NORTH OF COLORADO...WITH THE GFS
BEING THE MOST PROGRESSIVE. THIS FEATURE WILL BRING MONSOON
MOISTURE INTO THE CENTRAL ROCKIES...MAINLY FOCUSED ACROSS WESTERN
COLORADO...WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. THAT MOISTURE MAY BE SHUNTED
INTO EASTERN SECTIONS OF OUR CWA. UPSHOT IS THE WEST FORK COMPLEX
WILL BE WATCHED CLOSELY MIDWEEK...AND THERE WILL BE DAILY ISOLATED
TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS ACROSS ALL OF SOUTHERN COLORADO.

TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO BE AT OR BELOW SEASONAL NORMS ACROSS
THE AREA FOR THE NEXT WEEK. -TLM-

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 339 PM MDT FRI AUG 8 2014

WILL CONTINUE WITH VFR IN TAF SITES.  HOWEVER...LOCAL STORM
DEVELOPMENT WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED FOR CHANGES ON THE FLY.  THIS
EVENING...EXPECT MAINLY ISOLATED TSRA TO SPREAD FROM THE MOUNTAINS
WITH GRADUALLY INCREASING COVERAGE AS THE STORMS TRACK EAST ACROSS
THE PLAINS...INTO BETTER MOISTURE.  WILL CONTINUE VCTS MENTION FOR
KCOS AND KPUB THROUGH EARLY EVENING...AND SOME IFR/MVFR CONDITIONS
COULD BE FOUND UNDER THE STRONGER STORMS. CONVECTION WILL END FROM
WEST TO EAST DURING THE EVENING AS MERGING STORMS SHIFT EASTWARD
INTO KS/OK BY AROUND 06Z OR SO. WILL DO IT AGAIN TOMORROW AS
PATTERN LOOKS PRETTY SIMILAR TO TODAY OVERALL. LW
