AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DENVER/BOULDER CO
948 AM MDT WED JUN 17 2015

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 905 AM MDT WED JUN 17 2015

NOT MUCH TO ADJUST IN THE SHORT TERM. LATEST HRRR SUPPORTS TO
TIMING OF THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING OVER THE MOUNTAINS/FOOTHILLS
THE FLOW ALOFT WILL WEAKEN AS AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS IN FROM
THE SOUTHWEST. STILL SUFFICIENT CAPE/SHEAR FOR A SEVERE TSTM OR
TWO THIS AFTN/EVNG...LATEST RUC13 SOUNDINGS GENERATE 1000-1500
J/KG. BEST LOW LEVEL MOISTURE RETENTION WILL BE NORTH AND
NORTHEAST OF DENVER.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 400 AM MDT WED JUN 16 2015

WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWING UPPER DISTURBANCE MOVING ACROSS WEST
CENTRAL COLORADO WITH CONTINUED ASSOCIATED SHOWERS OVER SUMMIT AND
PARK COUNTIES. AS THIS FEATURE MOVES EAST THIS MORNING EXPECT SOME
DRYING OVER MOUNTAINS AND FRONT RANGE. OVERALL MOISTURE LEVELS
WILL BE LOWER TODAY AS INTEGRATED PW VALUES HAVE DROPPED A COUPLE
TENTHS IN THE PAST 24 HOURS OVER THE FRONT RANGE. THERE WAS SOME
FOG POTENTIAL AS INDICATED BY NAM AND LESSER EXTENT THE RAP BUT
APPEARS NAM WAS WAY OVERDONE WITH MOISTURE THIS AM AS DEWPOINTS
ARE SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE LOWER 60S NOW AND THROUGH THE DAY.
EXTENSIVE MID/HI CLOUD COVER AND LACK OF METAR PLOTS TONIGHT
RESULTING IN HARD TIME SEEING IF THERE IS ANY FOG/STRATUS ON THE
PLAINS. NON-NWS SURFACE PLOTS INDICATE THERE IS ENOUGH T/TD
SPREADS THAT WON'T SEE MUCH FOG THIS AM AND WON'T INCLUDE IN ZONES.

WITH OVERZEALOUS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE FROM NAM WILL DISCOUNT THAT
MODEL AS IT INDICATED UP TO 3000J/KG OF CAPE. RAP SEEMED BETTER
WITH 700-1500J/KG BASED ON DEWPOINTS FROM THE MID 40S TO LOWER 50S
ON THE PLAINS WHICH LOOKS MORE REASONABLE. EVEN LATEST HRRR ONLY
HAS ISOLATED COVERAGE OF STORMS OVER HIGHER TERRAIN OF PALMER
DIVIDE AND CYS RIDGE. ALSO AREA WILL BE UNDER WEAK RIDGING ALOFT
WITH WEAK SUBSIDENCE MOVING IN FROM THE WEST. WILL LOWER POPS THIS
AFTERNOON/EVENING TO MAINLY ISOLATED COVERAGE HIGHEST CHANCES
REMAINING ON EAST SLOPES AND HIGHER TERRAIN.

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 400 AM MDT WED JUN 16 2015

DRY AND WARMER CONDITIONS STILL ON TRACK THURSDAY AND BEYOND
WITH A STRONG UPPER RIDGE BUILDING TO OUR WEST. NOT UNCOMMON FOR
A STRONG... NEARLY STATIONARY UPPER RIDGE/HEAT DOME TO ENVELOP
COLORADO AND THE SOUTHWEST U.S. DURING THE LATTER HALF OF JUNE
PRIOR TO THE UNSET OF THE SOUTHWEST MONSOON. LATEST MOS
TEMPERATURE GUIDANCE INDICATES A STRING OF 90 PLUS DEGREE DAYS
FOR THE PLAINS BEGINNING THURSDAY. WARMEST AIR ALOFT COINCIDENT
WITH THE 500 MB RIDGE AXIS OVER THE FCST AREA ON FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY...EQUATING TO HIGHS IN THE LOW TO MID 90S AT LOWER
ELEVATIONS BOTH DAYS. DO NOT SEE MUCH IN THE WAY OF CLOUD COVER TO
GET IN THE WAY. ALTHOUGH CAN'T RULE OUT A STRAY GUSTY HIGH BASED
T-STORM OR TWO OVR AND NEAR THE FRONT RANGE WITH ALL OF THE SOIL
MOISTURE AROUND AND STEEP AFTERNOON LAPSE RATES. SEE THIS MAINLY
HAPPENING ON FRIDAY.

SUNDAY...MAY BE EVEN WARMER WITH A 596 DECAMETER RIDGE SQUARELY
OVER COLORADO. HOWEVER A COUPLE OF THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS STILL
SHOW A WEAK MID-LEVEL PERTABATION ROUNDING THE TOP OF THE RIDGE
AND BRUSHING THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF COLORADO LATE SUNDAY
AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING. AROUND THE SAME TIME THEY ALSO SHOW A
WEAK COLD FRONT OR SFC TROUGH BACKING INTO THE NERN CORNER OF THE
STATE ON MOIST EAST-SOUTHEAST LOW-LEVEL FLOW. ITS POSSIBLE A FEW
T-STORMS COULD FIRE ALONG THIS SFC BNDRY/THETA-E AXIS AS THE UPPER
AIR FEATURE PASSING BY. OTHERWISE SUNDAY LOOKS DRY AND QUITE WARM
FOR THE REST OF THE CWA. GOOD DAY FOR A BBQ.

FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY...SEE LITTLE IN THE WAY CHANGE WITH THE
UPPER RIDGE KEEPING ITS GRIP ON THE CENTRAL CONUS. THAT MEANS
TEMPERATURES WELL ABOVE AVERAGE AND PRECIP CHANCES NEAR ZERO BOTH
DAYS. HOWEVER...THE 00Z EUROPEAN MODEL INDICATES THE START OF A
WETTER PATTERN SHAPING UP FOR TUESDAY. IT SHOWS THE CORE OF THE
UPPER RIDGE QUICKLY SHIFTING WELL EAST OF COLORADO ON TUESDAY
WHICH OPENS THE ROCKY MTN REGION TO A MOIST SOUTHERLY TROPICAL
FLOW. LOOKS RATHER MONSOONISH. THE WAY THIS YEAR HAS BEEN GOING
WITH EL NINO STRENGTHENING IN THE PACIFIC...FEEL THE NEED TO
INTRODUCE AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF T-STORMS MAINLY FOR THE
HIGH COUNTRY LATE TUESDAY AND LOWER TEMPS BY A DEG OR TWO FROM
THOSE EXPECTED THE DAY BEFORE TO ACCOUNT FOR A POSSIBLE INCREASE
IN CLOUD COVER.
