ISSUED AT 241 AM MDT THU JUN 4 2015

SHORT TERM FORECAST CONCERNS ARE POSSIBILITY OF ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY ACROSS THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS
REGION AND THE POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE STORMS DURING THE EVENING AND
CONTINUING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

THE AMPLIFIED PATTERN ALOFT CONTINUES THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT WITH
THE UPPER TROUGH OVER THE WEST COAST DEEPENING INTO A CLOSED LOW
CENTER OVER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. THE PATTERN BECOMES LESS
AMPLIFIED SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT AS THE UPPER LOW BEGINS TO
LIFT INTO THE INTERMOUNTAIN REGION. SEVERAL IMPULSES WILL LIFT
OUT OF THE MAIN UPPER LOW AND MOVE ACROSS THE CENTRAL ROCKIES AND
CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS REGION THROUGH THE PERIOD.

THE SURFACE INVERTED TROUGH IDENTIFYING THE LOCATION OF THE
NEARLY STATIONARY SURFACE FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND DRYLINE REMAINS IN
PLACE ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH FRIDAY...EXTENDING FROM NEW MEXICO
INTO WESTERN KANSAS. A LOW CENTER CONSOLIDATES OVER THE
KANSAS/COLORADO BORDER AREA BEFORE LIFTING OUT ACROSS THE PLAINS
STATES ON SATURDAY NIGHT. THE NEARLY STATIONARY BOUNDARY DRAPED
ACROSS THE REGION WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR AFTERNOON
AND EVENING THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THAT WILL PERSIST INTO THE
LATE EVENING HOURS EACH DAY.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 241 AM MDT THU JUN 4 2015

THE 500MB RIDGE WILL ERODE AND MOVE EAST ON SUNDAY. AN UPPER LOW
SITUATED OVER THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST WILL SEND ANOTHER SHORTWAVE ACROSS
THE REGION LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY AND INCREASE RAIN CHANCES ACROSS THE
CWA. CAPE VALUES DURING THIS PERIOD ARE FORECAST TO BE IN THE 1000 J/KG
TO 1700 J/KG RANGE WITH SHEAR APPROACHING 60KTS PER THE ECMWF WITH THE
GFS HAVING SLIGHTLY HIGHER CAPE OF 1200 J/KG TO 2100 J/KG. A FEW STRONG
TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS COULD DEVELOP SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE
SHORTWAVE MOVES SLOWLY TO THE EAST ON MONDAY WITH ANOTHER CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE INSTABILITY WILL SHIFT
SLIGHTLY SOUTHWARD ON MONDAY WITH WEAKER SHEAR EXPECTED AND CAPE IN THE
1200 J/KG TO 1700 J/KG RANGE.

RAIN CHANCES REMAIN IN THE FORECAST ON TUESDAY AS THE UPPER LOW IN THE
INTERMOUNTAIN WEST MOVES EAST AND WEAKENS. A SHORTWAVE RIDGE WILL TAKE
SHAPE LATE TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY WITH DRIER WEATHER EXPECTED ON
WEDNESDAY AND EARLY THURSDAY. CROSS MOUNTAIN FLOW IN THE UPPER LEVELS
WILL LEAD TO A LEE SIDE TROUGH FORMATION LATE THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. POP
INCREASES ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND FRIDAY AS A RESULT. AT THIS TIME
CAPE VALUES ARE IN THE 1000 J/KG TO 1300 J/KG RANGE WITH WEAK SHEAR
LESS THAN 30KTS HOWEVER IT IS WORTH WATCHING AS NEW DATA IS MADE
AVAILABLE.
