Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cheyenne WY
1248 PM MDT SUN JUL 10 2016

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1241 PM MDT Sun Jul 10 2016

Critical fire weather conditions are expected to begin shortly for
the Sierra Madre range. At noon, the Sandstone RAWS reported an RH
of 16 percent with wind gusts to 32 MPH. RH values should continue
to trend lower through the afternoon, so have opted to include FWZ
305 in the current Red Flag Warning.

UPDATE Issued at 947 AM MDT Sun Jul 10 2016

Two concerns today. First, Red Flag Warnings appear to be on track
across the high plains of southeast Wyoming and the western Nebra-
ska Panhandle. The surface trough/dryline is moving slower than we
earlier anticipated, and resultant dew points are still in the low
60s at CDR/AIA. Morning guidance is also keeping a south component
to surface winds, so it might be tough to develop strong mixing or
scour out boundary layer moisture. Still, believe western portions
of FWZ 311-312 will hit Red Flag today. FWZ 305-307 will also bear
watching as they were close yesterday, plus we continue to have an
active wildfire near the CO/WY border. Second, we could get rather
close to High Wind Warning criteria west of the Laramie Range this
afternoon with soundings showing 45-50 knots available to mix, but
it still appears marginal. Will monitor over the next few hours. A
very hot day is expected otherwise, with widespread 95-105 degrees
likely over the plains.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Tuesday)
Issued at 355 AM MDT Sun Jul 10 2016

Upper ridge axis extended from the Desert Southwest northeast
to the Upper Midwest. Large scale lift from a potent shortwave
over the eastern Dakotas and MN aided in development of a MCS
over this area. Upper low was approaching the WA/OR coast, with
strong southwest flow aloft across the Intermountain West. Wavy
surface boundary extended from NV to lows over northern UT, WY and
ND, with a trough from southwest SD through eastern CO to
southeast NM. Skies were partly cloudy with temperatures in the
60s and southerly winds 5-15 mph.

Forecast challenges during the next 24 to 48 hours will focus on
temperatures and winds. The model guidance is in good agreement
with the eastward track of the upper low and trough from the
Pacific Northwest through the northern Rockies and Great Plains.
Lee surface trough over the plains and 500mb height falls in
advance of the trough will generate stronger and gusty W-SW winds
today. Downslope winds will aid warming with hot afternoon
temperatures ranging from 95-105 degrees along and east of I-25.
No records are in jeopardy for July 10, with several locations
within a few degrees. Warm temperatures aloft will keep convection
to a minimum this afternoon, with a few high-based showers possible
across the NE Panhandle.

Anomalously strong 700mb winds (99th percentile) for July with
speeds peaking 50-55 kt for the wind prone areas. Model cross
sections show 55-65 kt winds above the mountain top inversion
Sunday night and Monday. Craig-Casper 700mb gradients exceed 60m
beginning at 12Z Monday and lasting until 00Z Tuesday. Could be
dealing with high wind highlights for the wind prone areas,
including Arlington and Bordeaux later today. Unusually strong
dry cold front for July will sweep through the CWA by Monday
morning. Very windy conditions are forecast throughout the day,
with W-NW winds gusting up to 55 mph. It will be noticeably cooler
Monday with high temperatures in the 70s to mid 80s for the plains
and 60s west. Tuesday will be dry and slightly warmer with upper
70s to upper 80s. It will not be as windy Tuesday with west winds
gusting to 35 mph west of the Laramie Range.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Saturday)
Issued at 255 AM MDT Sun Jul 10 2016

Weak shortwave will move over the region on Wednesday in zonal flow
aloft. A very dry airmass will persist over the CWA with min RH
values falling to around 15 percent yet again, however winds should
stay below critical levels. A front will push across areas to the
east of the Laramie Range by aftn. Low level moisture increases by
Thursday as southeasterly winds develop across the plains. The ECMWF
differs from the GFS in showing higher dewpoints and better instability
pushing westward into the plains of southeast WY Thursday-Saturday.
The GFS keeps much the higher CAPE values into the Panhandle. Kept
slight chance over portions of the plains from Thursday through
Saturday. Temps will warm to around normal by next weekend after a
cooler first half of the week.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon)
Issued at 1102 AM MDT Sun Jul 10 2016

VFR conditions with gusty west to southwest winds this afternoon
that may persist into the evening hours. Winds pretty strong
Monday as a dry cold front moves through the area.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 255 AM MDT Sun Jul 10 2016

Critical fire weather conditions are forecast for the Wyoming
plains and northern Nebraska Panhandle this afternoon due to hot
temperatures, strong and gusty winds, and very low humidities. A
Red Flag Warning is in effect for fire weather zones 301, 310,
311, AND 312 from noon until 8 PM this evening. Very windy
conditions will occur Monday with the passage of a strong cold
front, however temperatures will be noticeably cooler. Low
humidities will yield critical fire weather conditions for the
plains.
