AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHEYENNE WY
1217 PM MDT SUN JUL 26 2015

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 417 AM MDT SUN JUL 26 2015

ANOTHER TOASTY DAY IN STORE FOR SOUTHEAST WYOMING AND THE
NEBRASKA PANHANDLE. TEMPERATURES WILL RISE INTO THE 80S OVER
HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF SOUTHEAST WYOMING WITH 90S INTO THE PLAINS
INCLUDING THE WESTERN NEBRASKA PANHANDLE. WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE
ON THE LIGHT SIDE UNDER A LEE SURFACE TROUGH DEVELOPING OVER THE
PLAINS...ALTHOUGH IT WILL BE A BIT BREEZY ON EITHER SIDE OF THE
LEE TROUGH WITH WESTERLY WIND GUSTS TO AROUND 25 MPH INTO CARBON
COUNTY IN SOUTHEAST WYOMING. INTO THE PANHANDLE SOUTHERLY WINDS
WILL DEVELOP AND INCREASE TO AROUND 15 MPH BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON.
A FEW THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AS A GLANCING SHOT
OF MONSOON MOISTURE SHIFTS ACROSS SOUTHEAST PORTIONS OF THE
FORECAST AREA. WHILE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE VERY UNLIKELY A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS MAY PRODUCE BRIEF HEAVY RAIN.

SOME RELIEF FROM THE HOT WEATHER WILL COME TUESDAY BUT NOT BEFORE
ANOTHER SCORCHER MONDAY. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL RISE WELL INTO THE
90S ACROSS THE PLAINS WITH MID 80S INTO HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF
SOUTHEAST WYOMING OUTSIDE OF THE MOUNTAINS. AN AREA OF SURFACE
CONVERGENCE WILL DEVELOP MONDAY AFTERNOON AS A COLD FRONT MOVES
ACROSS THE AREA. THUNDERSTORM WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE CONVERGENCE
ZONE BUT THE QUESTION IS WHERE AND WHEN THAT WILL HAPPEN. MOST
LIKELY THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP IN THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE LATE
IN THE AFTERNOON AND THEN QUICKLY PUSH EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA.
STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR BECOME
SEVERE...CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LARGE HAIL AND SEVERE WIND GUSTS.
TUESDAY WILL BE COOLER WITH LITTLE TO NO CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION
ACROSS THE AREA.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 359 AM MDT SUN JUL 26 2015

THE MAIN CONCERN WITH THIS PORTION OF THE FORECAST IS THE
POTENTIAL FOR THE DRY CONDITIONS TO PERSIST.

WE DID KEEP A SMALL CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE CHEYENNE
RIDGE TUESDAY EVENING...DUE TO SOME RESIDUAL MOISTURE IN THE MID
LAYERS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE UPSLOPE FLOW. OTHERWISE...BROAD
SCALE WEST-NORTHWEST FLOW IS EXPECTED TO BE THE MAIN STORY ACROSS
THE REGION THROUGH FRIDAY AS THE STRONG ANOMALOUS UPPER LEVEL
TROF SHIFTS EAST INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS. THIS WILL YIELD TO
RATHER MILD AND DRY CONDITIONS THROUGH MID WEEK. THE MAIN CONCERN
WILL BE THE FIRE WEATHER POTENTIAL ACROSS AREAS WEST OF THE
LARAMIE RANGE AS THE LOW LEVEL FLOW TURNS TO THE WEST-SOUTHWEST.
MEANWHILE...AREAS EAST OF THE LARAMIE RANGE WILL EXPERIENCE MAINLY
SOUTHERLY FLOW WHICH WILL TEND TO KEEP THE HUMIDITIES A BIT
HIGHER.

THE MODELS ARE SHOWING THE MOISTURE FIELDS BEGINNING TO DRY OUT
FURTHER EAST ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHEAST WYOMING AS WE HEAD INTO
NEXT WEEKEND. GEFS/NAEFS TRIES TO BUILD THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE
OVER THE AREA. THE DETERMINISTIC GFS BUILDS THE RIDGE A LITTLE
FURTHER WEST WHILE THE ECMWF TRIES TO BUILD THE RIDGE OVER OUR
REGION. IF THE GFS PANS OUT...THIS COULD CAUSE THE FLOW TO TURN
MORE NORTHERLY EAST OF THE LARAMIE RANGE AS A SURFACE RIDGE TRIES
TO BUILD NORTH FROM CANADA. THIS MAY CAUSE THINGS TO COOL DOWN A
TAD SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY. IF THE ENSEMBLES/ECMWF PANS OUT...WARM
AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST. WE PLAYED THINGS A LITTLE MORE ON
THE WARMER SIDE OF THE COIN IN RESPONSE TO THE ENSEMBLES.
