AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHEYENNE WY
420 PM MDT THU JUN 4 2015

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 400 PM MDT THU JUN 4 2015

MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS THIS EVENING WILL BE THE ONGOING FLOODING
ACROSS NIOBRARA COUNTY AND THE SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS THE HIGH
PLAINS. 0-6KM SHEAR APPEARS TO BE LESS COMPARED TO YESTERDAY AND
GENERALLY AROUND 40 TO 45 KNOTS. HOWEVER...THESE STORMS HAVE
GENERATED QUARTER TO EGG SIZED HAIL ACROSS PLATTE AND LARAMIE
COUNTY. A TORNADO WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR EASTERN WYOMING AND
EXTREME WESTERN NEBRASKA SINCE A FEW FUNNEL CLOUDS HAVE BEEN
OBSERVED WITH THESE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON. THIS ACTIVITY IS
EXPECTED TO LINGER INTO TONIGHT...MAINLY ACROSS WYOMING BUT A FEW
CELLS MAY PUSH INTO WESTERN NEBRASKA LATE TONIGHT.

FRIDAY-SATURDAY:
THE CLOSED UPPER LEVEL LOW IN THE DESERT SOUTHWEST WILL SLOWLY PUSH
EAST DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. AS THIS OCCURS...WE SHOULD SEE
THE MID LEVEL WINDS INCREASE AGAIN FROM THE SOUTH-SOUTHWEST ON
FRIDAY WHICH MAY BRING OUR NEXT ROUND OF SEVERE WEATHER DUE TO
PLENTY OF INSTABILITY IN PLACE. HARD TO SAY WHAT WILL BE IN STORE
FOR US ON SATURDAY...BUT WITH SUCH HIGH DEWPOINTS REMAINING IN
PLACE COMBINED WITH MORE SUBTLE WAVES MOVING THROUGH THE DIFFLUENT
FLOW WE MAY END UP HAVING ANOTHER ROUND OF STRONG TO SEVERE
STORMS.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)

ISSUED AT 314 PM MDT THU JUN 4 2015

MEDIUM-RANGE MODEL GUIDANCE PROGS THE UPPER LOW CENTERED OVER NEVADA
AND UTAH TO WEAKEN INTO AN OPEN WAVE AS IT CROSSES THE CENTRAL ROCKIES
AND GREAT PLAINS THIS WEEKEND. UPPER LEVEL DIFFLUENCE COMBINED WITH
PASSING WEAK DISTURBANCES AND MOIST CONVERGENT LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL KEEP
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND TSTORMS IN THE FORECAST SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH
SUNDAY NIGHT. A BIT LESS CONVECTIVE COVERAGE EXPECTED MONDAY AS BETTER
MOISTURE AND LIFT WILL BE SITUATED OVER COLORADO. A DRIER AND SOMEWHAT
MORE STABLE AIR MASS RETURNS TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AS A UPPER RIDGE
DOMINATES THE CWA. CANNOT COMPLETELY RULE OUT ISOLATED DIURNAL CONVECTION
OVER THE SNOWY...SIERRA MADRE AND SOUTH LARAMIE RANGES AS WELL AS EASTERN
WY INTO NORTHERN NE PANHANDLE. TEMPERATURES WILL WARM 3 TO 5 DEGREES
EACH DAY WITH HIGHS IN THE 70S TO LOW 80S TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. IT
WILL TURN SLIGHTLY COOLER THURSDAY FOLLOWING THE PASSAGE OF A WEAK
PACIFIC FRONT.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1214 PM MDT THU JUN 4 2015

LOW STRATUS DECK REMAINS IN PLACE OVER THE WESTERN NEBRASKA
PANHANDLE THIS AFTERNOON WITH MOSTLY MVFR. MVFR TO CONTINUE
THROUGH TODAY THEN LIKELY DROPPING TO IFR TONIGHT WITH THE STRATUS
AND POSSIBLY FOG MOVING WESTWARDS INTO SOUTHEAST WYOMING. ALSO
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON WITH SOME
THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. LARGE HAIL WILL
BE POSSIBLE WITH SOME STORMS. &&

.FIRE WEATHER...
ISSUED AT 314 PM MDT THU JUN 4 2015

NO FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS LATE THIS WEEK AND THROUGH THIS WEEKEND.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH
THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL. DAYTIME HUMIDITIES WILL REMAIN
HIGH...ESPECIALLY EAST OF THE LARAMIE RANGE.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 314 PM MDT THU JUN 4 2015

VERY HEAVY RAINFALL ACROSS SOUTHERN NIOBRARA COUNTY RESULTED IN
FLASH FLOODING IN AND AROUND LUSK WITH MAJOR IMPACTS LAST NIGHT
AND THIS MORNING. FLOOD WATERS ARE RECEDING TODAY BUT MINOR
FLOODING IS STILL BEING REPORTED AROUND LUSK AND EAST OF LUSK
ALONG THE NIOBRARA RIVER TOWARDS VAN TASSELL. WILL CONTINUE TO

AND TONIGHT. SO FAR...ONLY MINOR IMPACTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED 5
MILES EAST OF LUSK.

RIVER FLOODING IS ONGOING ACROSS THE NORTH PLATTE RIVER AT
MITCHELL...ALTHOUGH THE RIVER LEVELS WILL CONTINUE TO LOWER THIS
WEEK. THE LARAMIE RIVER AT LARAMIE IS FORECAST TO RISE ABOVE FLOOD
STAGE THIS WEEKEND WITH A PEAK STAGE OF 8.2 FEET BY EARLY NEXT
WEEK. THESE FORECAST ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE DUE TO ADDITIONAL HEAVY
RAINFALL DUE TO TSTORMS AND UPSTREAM RESERVOIR RELEASES.
