AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DENVER/BOULDER CO
319 PM MDT WED JUN 10 2015

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 319 PM MDT WED JUN 10 2015

CLOUD COVER TODAY HAS DELAYED AND LIMITED STORMS EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON...HOWEVER THE EXPECTED SHORTWAVE TROUGH CURRENTLY
PUSHING OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND SOME SKY CLEARING WILL ALLOW FOR
STORMS TO INITIATE AND SPREAD EAST. GOOD WARMING OUT OVER THE FAR
EASTERN PLAINS...TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 80S...NEAR THE NE/KS
BORDER WILL ALLOW FOR THE BETTER CHANCE FOR THE STRONGER AND
POSSIBLE SEVERE STRENGTH STORMS INTO THIS EVENING. THE BIGGEST
IMPACTS FROM THESE STORMS WILL BE BRIEF HEAVY RAIN AND
HAIL...ALTHOUGH WIND PROFILES MAY ALLOW A WEAK TORNADO OR TWO FORM
BUT THIS IS LESS PROBABLE. CURRENT PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ARE
NOW 1.1 INCHES...A TENTH OF AN INCH ABOVE THE RECORD FOR THIS
DATE. THIS WILL ALLOW STORMS TO PRODUCE A LOT OF RAIN AND
POTENTIAL LOCALIZED FLOODING...ALTHOUGH THESE STORMS WILL BE
MOVING AT ABOUT 20 MPH WHICH WILL LIMIT THAT THREAT. STORMS WILL
DECREASE AFTER SUNSET AS WEAK SUBSIDENCE MOVES OVERHEAD...HOWEVER
WITH THE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE IN THE AIR...WILL KEEP THE SLIGHT
CHANCE OF SHOWERS/STORMS GOING THROUGH THE NIGHT.

AN UPPER TROUGH WILL STRETCH FROM A LOW OVER THE DESERT SOUTHWEST
ACROSS THE NORTHERN ROCKIES THURSDAY MORNING. THE SUBTROPICAL
MOISTURE THAT MOVED OVERHEAD TODAY WILL WRAP BACK AROUND IN THE
TROUGH AS IT PUSHES EAST. A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH DOWN ACROSS
NORTHEASTERN COLORADO THURSDAY MID MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON CREATING
UPSLOPE FLOW. CAPE VALUES OF NEAR 1500 J/KG AHEAD OF THE FRONT
WILL ALLOW FOR ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS TOMORROW. THESE ITEMS COMBINED
WITH THE PW VALUES OVER AN INCH WILL SET THE STAGE FOR WIDESPREAD
RAIN SHOWERS WITH EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING
HEAVY RAIN. ALSO...THE UPPER LOW WILL BE APPROACHING THE AREA...MOVING
OVER WESTERN COLORADO BY EVENING WHICH WILL PRODUCE VERY SLOW
MOVING STORMS. THIS WILL INCREASE THE CHANCES OF FLOODING THREATS.
FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL BE IN EFFECT FOR STARTING THURSDAY MID
MORNING. RAINFALL AMOUNTS BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON ARE EXPECTED TO BE
A QUARTER TO HALF AN INCH...WITH LOCALIZED HEAVIER AMOUNTS OVER
THE FOOTHILLS AND UNDER THE STRONGER STORMS.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 319 PM MDT WED JUN 10 2015

THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY WILL BE WET FOR ESSENTIALLY THE ENTIRE
CWA WITH THE MOUNTAINS...FOOTHILLS AND URBAN CORRIDOR LIKELY
SEEING THE MOST/HEAVIEST RAINFALL. UPSLOPE FLOW SHOULD BE ROLLING
ALONG IN EARNEST BY 00Z FRIDAY...CONTINUING OVERNIGHT AND THROUGH
MUCH OF THE DAY ON FRIDAY. QUASIGEOSTROPHIC ASCENT DURING THIS
TIME FRAME ASSOCIATED WITH A CLOSED LOW ALOFT COMING OVER US WILL
COMBINE WITH THE UPSLOPE AND PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES IN EXCESS
OF AN INCH AT LOWER ELEVATIONS/HALF AN INCH IN THE HIGH COUNTRY TO
CREATE AN IDEAL SITUATION FOR A WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION EVENT
THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY. SIGNIFICANT TERRAIN-INFLUENCED
RAINFALL VALUES ARE SHOWING UP IN THE NWP SOLUTIONS SUGGESTING
THAT THERE MAY BE MORE FLOODING CONCERNS THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY
MORNING. THIS ALL SEEMS REASONABLE GIVEN THE FACT THAT THE
PRECIPITATION EFFICIENCIES SHOULD BE HIGH. IT ALSO APPEARS THAT
ANY SEVERE WEATHER THREAT SHOULD BE LOW EARLY THURSDAY EVENING AND
BE CONFINED TO AREAS SOUTHEAST OF DENVER.

PRECIPITATION SHOULD DIMINISH FROM WEST TO EAST FRIDAY NIGHT AND
EARLY SATURDAY AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES OFF TO THE EAST UPPER LEVEL
RIDGING SETTLES IN FROM THE WEST.

A MORE TYPICAL LATE SPRING PATTERN WILL PREVAIL DURING THE DAY 4
THROUGH 7 PERIOD WITH UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE GENERALLY CENTERED
OVER THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES AND WEST TO SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT OVER
COLORADO. THIS SHOULD LEAD TO THE USUAL DIURNAL CONVECTIVE
ACTIVITY MAINLY TIED TO THE HIGHER TERRAIN WITH LESSER CHANCES ON
THE PLAINS. TEMPERATURES DURING THIS PERIOD SHOULD BE NEAR TO A
BIT ABOVE NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY LATE AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 319 PM MDT WED JUN 10 2015

THERE WILL BE A GOOD CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS TODAY...FROM 22Z TO
01Z. WILL HAVE A TEMPO FOR TSRA IN THE TAFS FOR THIS. VERY HEAVY
RAIN...SMALL HAIL AND OUTFLOW WINDS TO 40 KNOTS WILL BE THE MAIN
THREATS WITH THE STORMS. MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES WILL HAVE PARTIAL
CLEARING TONIGHT. OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORMS...CEILINGS ARE
EXPECTED TO REMAIN ABOVE 8000 FEET.  EXPECT CEILINGS TO BECOME
MVFR AND POSSIBLE IFR TOMORROW AFTER THE PASSAGE OF A COLD
FRONT...AROUND 15Z...WITH WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
BY 00Z. NORTHEAST WINDS THIS AFTERNOON SHOULD TRANSITION TO
SOUTHWESTERLY TONIGHT...THEN NORTH-NORTHEAST TOMORROW AFTER 15Z.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 319 PM MDT WED JUN 10 2015

TODAY'S STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING HEAVY RAIN DUE TO THE
VERY MOIST AIRMASS. AN INCH IN 30 MINUTES OR LESS WILL BE POSSIBLE
WITH THE STRONG STORMS. THE STORMS SHOULD BE MOVING 15 TO 20
MPH...SO NOT EXPECTING STATIONARY STORMS. THE THREAT FOR HEAVY
RAIN WILL DECREASE FROM WEST TO EAST THIS EVENING AS THE
THUNDERSTORMS MOVE OFF TO THE EAST.

A VERY MOIST AIRMASS WILL REMAIN OVER THE STATE THURSDAY
AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. A COLD FRONT WILL PRODUCE UPSLOPE
FLOW THURSDAY WITH WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND SLOW MOVING
THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE PLAINS AND INTO THE FOOTHILLS.

A WIDESPREAD MODERATE RAIN EVENT IS THEN EXPECTED THURSDAY NIGHT
THROUGH MUCH OF FRIDAY FOCUSING ON THE UPSLOPE AREAS OF THE
FRONT RANGE...FOOTHILLS...URBAN CORRIDOR AND PALMER DIVIDE.
WIDESPREAD RAINFALL TOTALS OF 1 TO 2 INCHES WILL KEEP RIVER
LEVELS RUNNING HIGH ALONG WITH A CONTINUED FLOOD
POTENTIAL. RAINFALL AMOUNTS MAY BE HIGHER IN LOCALIZED AREAS DUE
TO STRONGER STORMS AND OVER THE UPSLOPE ENHANCED FOOTHILLS AND
PALMER DIVIDE. SATURATED SOILS WILL INHIBIT MUCH SOAKING AND COULD
CAUSE FLOODING ISSUES QUICKLY. THIS WILL CAUSE RIVERS AND STREAM
LEVELS TO RISE AND THE MAIN RIVERS DOWNSTREAM...NAMELY THE SOUTH
PLATTE...RESULTING IN ANOTHER SURGE OF WATER TO PUSH DOWN OVER THE
WEEKEND. ROCK/MUDSLIDES WILL BE AN ISSUE AS WELL IN THE FOOTHILLS.
A FLASH FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY
NOON.

...A VERY WET WEATHER PATTERN STARTING TODAY...FLOODING CONCERNS
INCREASING THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY...

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHEAST AND NORTH CENTRAL
COLORADO.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING. A FEW STORMS COULD BECOME SEVERE WITH GOLF BALL SIZE HAIL
AND DAMAGING WINDS. A BRIEF TORNADO OR TWO CAN'T BE RULED OUT.
THE BEST CHANCE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ALONG AND EAST
OF A LINE FROM FORT MORGAN TO LIMON.

HEAVY RAIN WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE WITH THE THUNDERSTORMS. AN INCH
OF RAIN IN 20 TO 30 MINUTES WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE STRONGER
STORMS WHICH COULD CAUSE FLOODING OF LOW LYING AREAS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY

ANOTHER ROUND OF WET WEATHER IS EXPECTED THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WITH
A THREAT OF HEAVY RAIN AND FLOODING AGAIN. ABUNDANT MOISTURE WILL
COMBINE WITH UPSLOPE FLOW AND AN UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
TO BRING THE WET WEATHER TO THE OUTLOOK AREA. THE FOOTHILLS AND
LOCALES CLOSE TO THE FOOTHILLS WILL HAVE THE GREATEST THREAT OF
FLOODING THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH MOST OF FRIDAY. THERE IS ALSO
THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME OF THE THUNDERSTORMS BECOMING SEVERE
THURSDAY AFTERNOON MAINLY OVER THE PALMER DIVIDE.

DRIER AND WARMER CONDITIONS WILL GRADUALLY WORK THEIR WAY INTO
THE OUTLOOK AREA OVER THE WEEKEND AND INTO THE EARLY PART OF NEXT
WEEK. THE POSSIBILITY OF AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL NOT COMPLETELY VANISH DURING THIS PERIOD BUT
CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY RETURN TO THOSE MORE NORMAL FOR THE MIDDLE
PART OF JUNE.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED THIS AFTERNOON...BUT REPORTS
OF LARGE HAIL GREATER THAN ONE INCH IN DIAMETER AND DAMAGING WIND
WILL BE APPRECIATED.
