AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RIVERTON WY
235 PM MDT THU JUL 3 2014

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY (ISSUED AT 235 PM MDT)

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE ARE THROUGH THE
EVENING HOURS TONIGHT. A COUPLE STRONGER STORMS HAVE ALREADY
DEVELOPED OVER THE AREA...INCLUDING OVER YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK.
ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY TODAY MAY BRING FREQUENT LIGHTNING...BRIEF HEAVY
RAIN...AND SMALL HAIL. SHOWERS SHOULD WEAKEN THIS EVENING WITH
GENERALLY BENIGN CONDITIONS EXPECTED OVERNIGHT AND INTO FRIDAY
MORNING.

FOR INDEPENDENCE DAY...EXPECT WARMER TEMPERATURES. SOME AREAS WILL
SEE TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 90S...ESPECIALLY OVER THE NORTHERN
BASINS. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE
ANTICIPATED...WITH DEVELOPMENT MOST FAVORED ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN
HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA. GUSTY WIND...SMALL HAIL...AND FREQUENT
LIGHTNING MAY ACCOMPANY STORMS IN THE AFTERNOON.

ONCE THIS SURGE OF STORM ACTIVITY ENDS ON FRIDAY EVENING...THE RIDGE
WILL RETURN TO POWER ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. THE WEEKEND
WILL...CONSEQUENTLY...BE HOT AND DRY. AGAIN...SOME GUSTY WIND MAY
DEVELOP OVER SOUTHEASTERN WYOMING DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. THE
CONCERNS FOR GUSTY WIND...HOT TEMPERATURES...AND LOW HUMIDITY HAS
PROMPTED THE ISSUANCE OF A RED FLAG WARNING FOR PORTIONS OF EASTERN
WYOMING WHERE FUELS HAVE BEEN DEEMED CRITICAL.

HOT TEMPERATURES WILL PERSIST INTO THE LATER PORTION OF THE
WEEKEND...WHEN SOME LOCATIONS MAY APPROACH IF NOT CREST...THE
CENTURY MARK.

.LONG TERM...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY

THROUGH THE EXTENDED...RIDGING ALOFT WITH A THERMAL LOW AT THE
SURFACE WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE GREAT BASIN. THIS MEANS CONTINUED
ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES WITH THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE WHEN
DISTURBANCES MOVE ALONG THE RIDGE. WITH A PERSISTENT LOW IN THE
EASTERN GULF OF ALASKA EJECTING SHORT WAVES...THEY WILL OCCASIONALLY
INTERACT AND KICK OFF MORE THUNDERSTORMS IN OUR AREA.

MODELS HAVE SPED UP THE PROGRESSION OF A DRY COLD FRONT EXPECTED TO
DROP SOUTH OUT OF MONTANA TO LATE SUNDAY. THE FRONT WILL BRING A
WIND SHIFT AND SOME HIGHER RELATIVE HUMIDITY BUT NOT MUCH
PRECIPITATION IF ANY SUNDAY NIGHT. HOWEVER...AS THE RIDGE BEGINS TO
SHIFT WESTWARD THIS LOWERS HEIGHTS OVER OUR AREA AND ALLOWS MORE
INFLUENCE FROM THE WAVES PASSING TO THE NORTH...WHICH MAY EVENTUALLY
LEAD TO SOME MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION AGAIN AS EARLY AS MONDAY AND
AGAIN EACH DAY FROM MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...ESPECIALLY EAST OF THE
DIVIDE ALONG AND BEHIND THE FRONT.

DESPITE THIS QUASI-STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY EAST OF THE
DIVIDE...TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN SEASONAL TO SLIGHTLY
ABOVE AVERAGE EAST. WEST OF THE DIVIDE...MORE INFLUENCED BY THE
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE...ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPERATURES OF 5-10 DEGREES ARE
EXPECTED EACH DAY.

PRODUCE GUSTY ERRATIC OUTFLOW WIND AROUND 40KT VCNTY KLND-KRIW
THROUGH 07Z.  IF THIS LINE CAN HOLD TOGETHER THROUGH THE EARLY
MORNING...IT WILL PRODUCE ERRATIC WIND GUSTS VCNTY KCPR 09Z-11Z.
ISOLD -SHRA/-TSRA WITH ERRATIC WIND GUSTS MAY ALSO CONTINUE VCNTY
AND NORTH OF KJAC THROUGH 08Z.

VFR/NSW CONDITIONS AND MAINLY UNLIMITED CIGS WILL PREVAIL 12Z-18Z
FRIDAY.  SLIGHT INSTABILITY AND SOME MID-LEVEL MOISTURE WILL RESULT
IN ISOLD -SHRA/-TSRA BLOSSOMING ACROSS THE REGION 20Z FRI-02Z SAT.
HOWEVER...THIS ACTIVITY WILL NOT BE AS ORGANIZED AS ON THURSDAY WITH
LIGHTER WIND ALOFT AND NO SIGNIFICANT UPPER DISTURBANCE IN THE
FLOW.  THUS...MOST ACTIVITY WILL REMAIN ANCHORED ALONG
MOUNTAIN/VALLY BREEZE BOUNDARIES.  THE MAIN HAZARD WITH ANY OF THESE
HIGH-BASED -TSRA/-SHRA WILL BE MICROBURST WIND/ERRATIC WIND GUSTS
NEAR 40KTS.  THIS ACTIVITY WILL DISSIPATE WITH SUNSET FRIDAY
EVENING.

.FIRE WEATHER...

...RED FLAG WARNING FRIDAY AND SATURDAY FOR ZONES 280 AND SOUTHERN

AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE PRESENT THROUGH SATURDAY

MOISTURE IN THE RIDGE WILL BRING THE SHOWER ACTIVITY EXPECTED
THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING. ONCE THE ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
ENDS ON FRIDAY...THE STRENGTHENING RIDGE WILL TAKE CONTROL AGAIN.
HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED...WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER
80S TO NEAR 100 ANTICIPATED...AND HUMIDITY DROPPING INTO THE UPPER
