AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DENVER/BOULDER CO
436 AM MDT SUN AUG 16 2015

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT )
ISSUED AT 436 AM MDT SUN AUG 16 2015

BANDS OF SHOWERS IN RIBBON OF LIFT ON THE EDGE OF THE WESTERLY
FLOW ALOFT TO OUR NORTH...THOUGH INTENSITY IS DOWN WE WILL NEED
SOME LOW POPS THIS MORNING...TRIED TO TIME THE NEXT BAND INTO
DENVER BETWEEN 6 AND 9 AM. LOW LEVEL FLOW HAS GONE WESTERLY WHICH
COULD HELP THE SHOWERS TO DIE COMING OVER THE FRONT RANGE.

COLD FRONT THROUGH CASPER AND INTO NW NEBRASKA...SHOULD MOVE INTO
NORTHEAST COLORADO IN THE LATE MORNING HOURS. COULD PRODUCE SOME
SHOWERS IN THE BETTER MOISTURE NEAR THE NORTHEAST CORNER...BUT
THEN WILL CAUSE SOME STABILIZATION INITIALLY WITH SLIGHTLY COOLER
AND DRIER AIR. HOWEVER...MOISTURE WILL THEN START TO RETURN IN THE
LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS THE LOW LEVEL FLOW GOES EASTERLY.
MADE SOME TIMING ADJUSTMENTS AS MUCH OF THE PLAINS MAY BE FAIRLY
STABLE THROUGH MID AFTERNOON...WITH MAIN ACTIVITY EXPECTED TO BE
WHERE THE UPSLOPE WINDS RUN INTO THE MOUNTAINS AND POSSIBLY IN THE
HIGHER MOISTURE NEAR THE EASTERN BORDER. BY EVENING THOUGH THERE
WILL BE BETTER INSTABILITY AND CONVERGENCE ALONG OUTFLOWS FROM THE
EARLIER CONVECTION...AND EXPECT A FAIRLY ACTIVE EVENING OVER THE
PLAINS. MODELS SEEM TO BE OVERDOING THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE FOR THE
AFTERNOON...BRINGING DEW POINTS QUICKLY BACK INTO THE LOWER 60S.
PREFER A SLIGHTLY DRIER SOLUTION WITH CAPES OF 500-1000 J/KG NEAR
THE MOUNTAINS AND 1000-1500 J/KG NEAR THE EASTERN BORDER THIS
AFTERNOON. THERE WILL BE INCREASING SHEAR OVER SOUTHERN
WYOMING...BUT IT APPEARS THIS WILL BE LESS OVER COLORADO IN THE
AFTERNOON...MAYBE SOME INCREASE IN THE NORTH THIS EVENING. ALSO
SHEAR IS PRETTY LINEAR WHICH WOULD FAVOR SPLITTING CELLS WITH
INFLOW ON THE NORTH SIDE. THIS ALL SEEMS TO FAVOR WYOMING
INITIALLY WITH CONDITIONS IMPROVING INTO COLORADO FROM THE NORTH
IN THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. WENT AHEAD AND MENTIONED
SEVERE STORMS...THOUGH THE COVERAGE AND TIMING OF THIS MAY BE
OVERDONE.

BIGGER THREAT MAY BE HEAVY RAIN AS THE OPPOSING LIGHT LOW/MID
LEVEL FLOW LOOKS LIKE IT WILL LEAD TO STORM MOTIONS UNDER 10
KNOTS. EXPECT THAT CONVECTION WILL WIND UP ORGANIZING AND MOVING
ON OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES...BUT THE FIRST COUPLE OF HOURS IN AN AREA
COULD SEE ERRATIC MOTION SO THAT IS THE MAIN THREAT. WITH
PRECIPITABLE WATER RANGING FROM 1-1.25 INCHES...SOME CAPE...AND
SOME WARM RAIN PROCESSES...COULD SEE 2-3 INCHES IN 1-2 HOURS FROM
THE SLOWER MOVING STORMS. WE WILL HAVE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE
AREA WHERE THESE CONDITIONS LOOK MOST LIKELY TO COME
TOGETHER...EAST OF FORT MORGAN IN THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
THIS MAY NEED TO BE EXPANDED DEPENDING ON HOW THE CONVECTION AND
MOISTURE RETURN EVOLVE THIS AFTERNOON...BUT FOR NOW THINK FRONT
RANGE AFTERNOON CONVECTION WILL BE MOVING A LITTLE MORE AND WILL
HAVE LESS MOISTURE TO WORK WITH. THERE COULD BE A GREATER RISK
ALONG THE FRONT RANGE IN THE EVENING IF THERE GETS TO BE A
SUBSTANTIAL WARM MOIST OUTFLOW FROM PLAINS CONVECTION...BUT THAT
IS SPECULATIVE AND SEEMS A FAIRLY LOW THREAT AT THIS TIME.

TEMPERATURES MAY BE A LITTLE WARM TODAY IF WE DO NOT GET THE
CLEARING WE EXPECT IN THE MORNING...AND THAT COULD ALSO SERVE TO
DELAY THE AFTERNOON CONVECTION ESPECIALLY ON THE PLAINS.

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 436 AM MDT SUN AUG 16 2015

THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE HAS TRANSITIONED SW OVER SOUTHERN CA WITH
ZONAL FLOW TURNING MORE NW OVER CO WITH THE APPROACH OF A TROF
FROM THE NW.

MONDAY MORNING WILL START WITH SOME INCREASED LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
FROM A PREVIOUS DISTURBANCE AND AN INCREASING STABLE ATMOSPHERE
BEHIND IT. THIS WILL HELP TO BRING SOME LOW STRATUS AND FOG TO THE
PLAINS DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. AS THE DAY PROGRESSES THE
INFLUENCE OF INCREASED MOISTURE...WHERE PW VALUES WILL BE OVER AN
INCH AND DEWPOINTS IN THE LOWER 60S WITH HEATING CONVECTION
CHANCES WILL INCREASE. CURRENT MODEL SOUNDINGS ARE SHOWING CAPE
VALUES AROUND 2000 J/KG WITH BRN SHEAR VALUES AROUND 50-55 KTS.
THIS INDICATES POSSIBLE STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS FOR THE PLAINS BY
MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. EXACT TIMING WILL FLUCTUATE DUE TO A
MODERATE STABLE LAYER AT 750 MB. INCREASING QG ASCENT ALONG WITH
AN UPPER LEVEL JET THAT IS PROGGED TO MOVE OVER NE CO BY MONDAY
AFTERNOON WILL HELP TO FIRE OFF STORMS OVER THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS.
THIS IN TURN COULD PUSH OUT ENOUGH OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES TO GET
ADDITIONAL CONVECTION STARTED IN A PRIME ENVIRONMENT. THREATS
COULD INCLUDE LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND BRIEF HEAVY RAIN.
TORNADO THREAT IS LOWER BUT CANNOT RULE OUT AS LOW LEVEL SHEAR
PROFILE IS STILL IN THE 30S FOR SFC TO 3 KM. WILL BEAR WATCHING
AS THE DAY UNFOLDS.

ON TUESDAY AN ELONGATED UPPER LEVEL TROF WILL PUSH THROUGH THE
STATE EARLY TUESDAY WITH INCREASING SUBSIDENCE BEHIND IT. TEMPERATURES
WILL CONTINUE TO DROP BEHIND THE TROF WITH MONDAYS HIGHS IN THE
LOWER 80S AND TUESDAY DROPPING INTO THE LOWER 70S. WIND WILL PICK
UP BEHIND THE TROF WITH CONTINUED GUSTING THROUGH THE DAY. WILL
KEEP A SLIGHT CHANCE OF CONVECTION INTO THE EVENING HOURS ON
TUESDAY AS THE TROF DROPS SOUTH KEEPING NE CO UNDER FAVORABLE
CONDITIONS FOR SOME DEVELOPMENT.

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY WILL SEE INCREASED DRYING AS SUBSIDENCE
MOVES IN BEHIND THE EXITING TROF AND NW FLOW PREVAILS. THURSDAY
COULD SEE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF CONVECTION IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS
WITH SOME LINGERING MOISTURE SO WILL MAINTAIN A SLIGHT CHANCE.
TEMPERATURES WILL SLOWLY REBOUND BACK INTO THE MID 80S BY
THURSDAY.

FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY FLOW ALOFT SLOWLY SHIFTS BACK WSW WHICH
WILL SLOWLY INCREASE MOISTURE OVER COLORADO. THIS WILL INCREASE
PRECIPITATION CHANCES OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN FOR SATURDAY BUT
SHOULD REMAIN DRY OVER THE PLAINS. TEMPERATURES WILL BE BACK TO
SEASONAL NORMALS WITH HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S FOR THE START
OF THE WEEKEND.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE TAFS THROUGH 12Z MONDAY MORNING)
ISSUED AT 436 AM MDT SUN AUG 16 2015

VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED TODAY ALTHOUGH SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS
FROM 20Z-04Z COULD PRODUCE LOCALIZED IFR IN HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY
WINDS TO 40 KNOTS. AREAS OF LOW CLOUDS AND POSSIBLY FOG DEVELOPING
AFTER 06Z...MVFR CONDITIONS LIKELY MONDAY MORNING WITH A CHANCE OF
IFR CEILINGS OR VISIBILITIES.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 436 AM MDT SUN AUG 16 2015

SLOW MOVING THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TODAY. THE FLOODING THREAT
WILL BE GREATEST ON THE NORTHEAST PLAINS WHERE THE BEST MOISTURE
WILL BE. IN THESE AREAS SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN
ARE EXPECTED...WITH 2 TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN IN 1 TO 2 HOURS. A FLASH
FLOOD WATCH WILL BE ISSUED FOR THESE AREAS. FOR THE FRONT RANGE
THE THREAT IS LOWER...BUT STRONGER STORMS COULD PRODUCE 1 TO 2
INCHES OF RAIN IN AN HOUR. TRAINING OF MULTIPLE STORMS OR
INTERACTIONS BETWEEN OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES OR STRONG OUTFLOW WINDS
INTO THE FOOTHILLS WOULD BE NEEDED FOR ANY HEAVIER RAIN. THERE IS
A SMALL CHANCE OF THOSE CONDITIONS THIS EVENING...THIS THREAT WILL
BE MONITORED DURING THE DAY TODAY.

COLORADO.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL ONCE AGAIN DEVELOP OVER THE
MOUNTAINS AND HIGH VALLEYS BY EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AND GRADUALLY
BECOME MORE NUMEROUS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AS MOISTURE INCREASES
AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING WEATHER DISTURBANCE. SOME OF THESE STORMS
ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE EAST OVER THE PLAINS BY MID-AFTERNOON AND
LINGER THROUGH LATE THIS EVENING. A FEW STORMS MAY PRODUCE
MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL ALONG WITH WIND GUSTS TO AROUND 45 MPH.
THIS STORM ACTIVITY MAY CONTINUE WELL INTO THE EVENING WITH THE
PASSAGE OF THE UPPER LEVEL WEATHER DISTURBANCE. MOST STORMS WILL
LIKELY DISSIPATE AFTER MIDNIGHT.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY

EXPECT SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE
MOUNTAINS AND NORTHEAST PLAINS SUNDAY AND MONDAY. SOME STORMS MAY
BE STRONG OR POSSIBLY SEVERE...ESPECIALLY OVER THE FAR NORTHEAST
PLAINS. TEMPERATURES WILL COOL MONDAY BEHIND A COLD FRONT WITH
HIGHS IN THE LOWER TO MID 80S. THESE COOLER TEMPERATURES WILL
CONTINUE WITH ANOTHER FRONT ON TUESDAY BRINGING ADDITIONAL
PRECIPITATION TO THE REGION AND TEMPERATURES DROOPING INTO THE
UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S. WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY WILL BE DRY WITH
TEMPERATURES RISING BACK TO SEASONAL NORMALS.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED THIS AFTERNOON.
