The local office's own words before this special weather statement went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Denver/Boulder, CO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this special weather statement went out at Jul 29, 8:10 PM MDT, 29 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 29, 8:10 PM MDT, 29 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Denver/Boulder CO 810 PM MDT FRI JUL 29 2016 .UPDATE... Issued at 806 PM MDT Fri Jul 29 2016 Long lived Supercell was tracking across srn Weld County. Hi res data indicates this storm may continue for 2 to 3 more hours. There is still alot of instabtility across the area so we shall see if more storms eventually dvlp like latest HRRR shows. With favorable shear svr potential may continue well past 10 pm. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday) Issued at 303 PM MDT Fri Jul 29 2016 Dewpoints have remained high across the plains and temperatures have slowly warmed however storms so far that have attempted to move off the higher terrain of Larimer and Boulder Counties and the Cheyenne Ridge have weakened and died when they hit the plains. An experimental sounding launched at 21z by the CSU Atmos Dept still shows a well defined stable layer just below 700 mb so this agrees with the storm trend so far. Storms have increased recently north of CYS and across western NE ahead of a weak upper level shortwave seen in the water vapor imagery. Meanwhile at the surface there is a Denver Cyclone in place and while the associated convergence zone does not look that strong there is some gathering of towering cumulus near and south of DIA so potentially this could still be an initiation area for storms. But still looks like we will never overcome the convective inhibition on the plains so will need to rely on storms moving into the area. The NCEP HRRRs remain fairly consistent with bringing storms off the Cheyenne Ridge southward across the eastern plains this evening with a trend to be a little later in doing this so have so upscale growth and storms after midnight. Meanwhile the 18z 4km NAM still kills any storms moving off the Cheyenne Ridge with nothing on the plains this evening. We are seeing a collection of strong storms just north and nw of CYS right now and maybe these will be the ones that make it south over the next few hours. Given the moisture and shear should the storms survive there certainly is the chance they could be severe and supercellular with large hail and strong winds the main threat...but it remains a tricky forecast for sure. Tomorrow all models are drier even though dewpoints do remain fairly high. Moisture though should be shallower and the cap will be strong, but temperatures will be higher still than today so kept a minimal chance of late day storms in most areas. .LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Friday) Issued at 303 PM MDT Fri Jul 29 2016 Broad upper level ridge extending eastward from srn California to the lower Mississippi River valley is forecast to meander back and forth during the extending period of the forecast. Shifts in the ridge will allow northward intrusions of subtropical moisture up over the Four corners region starting late on Sunday. Models show a steady rise in deep layer PW/specific humidity values prior to the passage of a mid-level shortwave trough forecast to propagate slowly across Colorado Sunday afternoon/evening. Moisture peaks over the forecast area that evening and with light transport winds...potential exits for isolated/widely scattered storms capable of rainfall amounts of quarter to half inch in under 30 minutes. Hail also possible...mainly on the plains during the evening hours...although the threat over severe hail appears low. Shortwave is progged to move east of the CWA on Monday taking with it the plume of monsoonal subtropical moisture. But lingering low level moisture and solar heating should have little trouble generating isolated to widely scattered t-storms over and near the Front Range mtns by late afternoon. By evening could see a few storms drift out over the plains with light swly flow aloft where most if not all of this convection should dissipate by midnight. For the remainder of the week...models show the upper ridge centered over the southern Great Plains where it strengthen and amplifies northward over the upper Midwest. In doing so...south-southwesterly monsoonal flow re-establishes over the Desert Southwest which then drives another well organized plume of subtropical moisture up over Colorado. By Thursday PW values surge well over an inch over western Colorado. Models also show a weak disturbance embedded in this flow providing additional lift and instability for a good chance of the showers and t-storms over the western valleys and high country areas of Colorado. It's probably not until evening when the northeast plains may join in on the storm activity with the arrival of a fairly strong cold front and the development of a moist upslope flow. GFS is cranking out pretty high qpf values along the Front range and over the Palmer Divide for the evening. Certainly too early to have much confidence in this forecast...but something to watch develop in future model runs. Friday could be just as active should moisture linger and upslope flow continue. Otherwise Friday looks cooler with plains temperatures possibly as much as 8-10 degs F below average for the date. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Saturday evening) Issued at 806 PM MDT Fri Jul 29 2016 Outflow fm srn Weld storm may switch winds to a more NNE direction for an hour or so. Could see a few storms dvlp behind this bndry during the next 1 to 2 hours. && .BOU Watches/Warnings/Advisories... None. && UPDATE...RPK SHORT TERM...Szoke LONG TERM...Baker AVIATION...RPK
