AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DENVER/BOULDER CO
330 PM MDT THU JUN 25 2015

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 330 PM MDT THU JUN 25 2015

CONVECTION BEGINNING OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN AND LARIMER COUNTY AS
A SHORTWAVE MOVES CLOSER OUT WYOMING. A LONG LIVED
MCS....MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM HAS BEEN MOVING SOUTHEAST FROM
WYOMING AND INTO NEBRASKA ALL DAY....AND OUTFLOW FROM THIS SYSTEM
WILL LIKELY HELP KICK OFF ADDITIONAL CONVECTION THIS EVENING.
DEWPOINTS IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S ALONG WITH TEMPERATURES IN
THE MID TO UPPER 80S ARE HELPING CAPES REACH IN THE 1000-2000 J/KG
AND UPWARDS OF 3000 NEAR THE WY/NE BORDER. SHEAR IS EXPECTED TO
INCREASE TO 35 KTS TO NEAR 50 KTS NEAR THE WYOMING BORDER. THESE
INGREDIENTS ARE COMBINING TO BRING THE THREAT OF SEVERE
WEATHER...MAINLY FOR LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING OUTFLOW WINDS TO THE
PLAINS TONIGHT. BEST AREA IS ALONG AND EAST OF A LINE FROM GREELEY
TO LIMON. HOWEVER OUTFLOW FROM STORMS...IN ADDITION TO ENHANCED UPSLOPE
FLOW THIS EVENING MAY PRODUCE OTHER STORM FURTHER WEST. SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR MOST OF THE PLAINS AND
URBAN CORRIDOR FOR THIS REASON. ACTIVITY UP NEAR CHEYENNE HAS
BEEN PROGGED BY THE LATEST HRRR MODEL TO BECOME THE LONG
ADVERTISED POSSIBLE MCS SYSTEM TO PUSH SOUTHEAST OVER NORTHEASTERN
COLORADO AND INTO KANSAS BY MIDNIGHT. THE OUTFLOW FROM THIS SYSTEM
IS EXPECTED TO PUSH BACK TOWARD THE FOOTHILLS TO BRING STRATUS AND
SOME FOG OVER THE PLAINS OVER NIGHT. SO EVEN THOUGH TEMPERATURES
SHOULD BE COOLING TONIGHT AND INTO TOMORROW...MINIMUM TEMPERATURES
WILL BE MODERATED OVER THE PLAINS UNDER WHAT STRATUS FORMS.

STRATUS WILL LIKELY STICK IN ALONG THE URBAN CORRIDOR AND PALMER
DIVIDE FOR MOST OF TOMORROW. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR TEMPERATURES
ABOUT 5 TO 10 DEGREES COOLER THAN TODAY. EXPECT AFTERNOON SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS TO FIRE OFF THE MOUNTAINS ABOVE THE STABLE
STRATUS DECK FIRST...THEN SOME MAY PUSH EAST DURING THE LATE
AFTERNOON OVER THE URBAN CORRIDOR AND ADJACENT PLAINS. WITH THE
UPPER RIDGE PUSHING IN FROM THE WEST SLIGHTLY MORE...THIS MAY
LIMIT CONVECTION OVER THE PLAINS.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 330 PM MDT THU JUN 25 2015

THE MAIN MESSAGE CONTINUES TO BE UPPER LEVEL RIDGING OVER THE
GREAT BASIN DURING THE PERIOD. THIS PUTS OUR AREA UNDER A NORTH
TO NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WITH LITTLE IN THE WAY OF DISCERNIBLE QG
DYNAMICS AFFECTING OUR WEATHER. THIS ALSO KEEPS THE PLAINS
SUSCEPTIBLE TO OCCASIONAL OUTFLOWS AND FRONTAL SURGES FROM
CONVECTION THAT FORMS OVER THE GREAT PLAINS. ADDITIONALLY ENOUGH
MOISTURE WILL LIKELY BE CAUGHT IN THE RIDGE TO KEEP THE USUAL
DIURNAL CONVECTIVE CYCLE GOING. NWP BIAS-CORRECTED CONSENSUS
TEMPERATURES ARE PREDICTING SEASONAL VALUES BUT SOME OF THE LATEST
GUIDANCE IS SUGGESTING MUCH WARMER VALUES. WE SHALL SEE.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY LATE AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 330 PM MDT THU JUN 25 2015

CURRENT CONVECTION OVER THE NORTHERN URBAN CORRIDOR WILL LIKELY
SWITCH THE LIGHT SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS ACROSS THE AIRPORTS TO A
NORTHERLY PUSH. ANOTHER FRONTAL PUSH FROM THE NORTH IS EXPECTED IN
THE 01-03Z TIMEFRAME WITH A PERIOD OF GUSTY NELY WINDS FOR AN
HOUR OR TWO WHICH WILL BECOME MORE ELY BY 03Z. BEST CHANCE OF
STORMS MAY OCCUR IN THE 23Z-02Z TIME PERIOD. HOWEVER...OUTFLOW
FROM OTHER STORMS OVER THE EASTERN PLAINS MAY STILL SEND BACK
OUTFLOW THAT WILL HELP FIRE OFF ADDITIONAL STORMS LATER THIS
EVENING. SOME HIGH RES MODELS ARE SHOWING ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY
ALONG THE FOOTHILLS AND ADJACENT PLAINS AFTER MIDNIGHT. WILL HAVE
TO FOLLOW PROGRESSION OF STORMS AND MODELS TO SEE IF THIS SHOULD
BE ADDED INTO THE TAFS. WILL SEE SOME LOWER VISIBILITIES AND
CEILINGS IF STRONGER STORMS AFFECT THE AIRPORTS.

EXPECTING STRATUS/FOG TO PUSH IN OVER THE AREA AFTER 09Z. IFR
CONDITIONS POSSIBLE FROM 09-15Z...THEN MVFR CEILINGS MAY LAST
THROUGH 00Z.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 330 PM MDT THU JUN 25 2015

STORMS MOVING RATHER QUICKLY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH
RAINFALL AMOUNTS MAINLY UNDER ONE HALF INCH. HOWEVER...WITH A
RELATIVELY WET AIRMASS...COULD SEE LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS UP TO
AN INCH OVER THE PLAINS. FOR THIS EVENING...WITH INCREASING
UPSLOPE FLOW ALONG THE FRONT RANGE...IF STORMS FIRE IN AND NEAR
THE FOOTHILLS...COULD SEE HEAVY RAINFALL DEVELOP OVER PORTIONS OF
THE URBAN CORRIDOR WITH RAINFALL AMOUNTS UP TO AN INCH OR TWO IN A
FEW LOCATIONS.
