$$What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Cheyenne, WY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Jun 6, 5:32 AM MDT, 5 hours 35 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 6, 5:32 AM MDT, 5 hours 35 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Cheyenne WY 532 AM MDT MON JUN 6 2016 .SHORT TERM...(Today through Wednesday) Issued at 458 AM MDT Mon Jun 6 2016 Made very little change to the ongoing forecast as models continue to show an active couple of days mainly for areas along and west of I-25. The main system driving the upcoming active weather is located over Nevada early this morning, slowly moving east. A weak shortwave moving up from the southwest ahead of the main upper low will spark off afternoon convection over the mountains today. Sfc winds will become more easterly through the day as the system approaches, so easterly upslope flow will provide additional lift and moisture advection. Combined with SBcapes upwards of 1500 J/kg, should see convection fire late morning/early afternoon over the mountains and track southeast into nearby high valleys and eastern plains. Bulk shear is still progged to be 30-35 kts in the afternoon, so marginal severe pulse storms are certainly a possibility with hail and strong downdraft winds the main threat. Sfc winds tonight should continue to veer to the south-southeast keeping moist upslope flow in place overnight along the southern Laramie Range and Cheyenne Ridge. Maintained fog/stratus in the forecast through Tuesday morning. Convective progs for Tuesday are tricky considering location and intensity of storms along and east of the Laramie Range will be determined largely by fog/stratus burnoff. However, models continue to show SBcape values exceeding 2000 J/kg with a weak cap from the Laramie Range east toward the CO/WY/NE borders in the afternoon. Weaker winds aloft lend to weaker bulk shear, but still think strong to severe pulse storms are possible across this area in the late afternoon if the high instability materializes. Further west, the combination of SBcapes in the 5000-1000 J/kg range and PVA should support a few strong storms as well. A weak llvl jet looks to develop across the plains after sunset Tuesday evening so maintained at least slight chance PoPs through the evening for much of southeast Wyoming, and expanded PoPs northeastward into the panhandle as well where some potential instability could be realized with the help of the jet. Again, hail and wind will be the main impact from the stronger storms, along with moderate to heavy rain. Llvl winds will begin to shift to the west Tuesday night and Wednesday as the leeside pressure trough develops, with moisture scouring out to the east steadily through the day. Do expect showers and storms to develop through the afternoon along the lee trough and over the mountains as well with a shortwave trough moving overhead. Coverage looks to be a bit more widespread in this pattern, but intensity overall should be weaker. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Sunday) Issued at 458 AM MDT Mon Jun 6 2016 The models are in good agreement with upper-level ridging dominating the large scale pattern through the extended period. 700 mb temps of +12C to +16C and deep subsidence should support highs in the 80s and lower 90s through Saturday. High-elevation showers and thunderstorms will still be a possibility with a few pieces of energy undercutting the ridge, but overall expect dry conditions. A mid-level short wave will move across the western CONUS on Sunday with southwesterly flow aloft increasing over the CWA. This will be the next good chance for more widespread convection with a surface cold fropa. However, ECMWF and GFS both suggest energy splitting to the north/south which could limit storm coverage. That said, did not feel comfortable going with anything higher than isolated PoPs at this time. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Tuesday morning) Issued at 528 AM MDT Mon Jun 6 2016 VFR conditions should prevail across most of southeast Wyoming and the western Nebraska Panhandle through the TAF period. Showers and a few thunderstorms are expected to develop over the south Laramie Range by mid afternoon, potentially spreading into adjacent plains and valleys. Brief MVFR ceilings/visibilities and gusty or erratic wind gusts will be possible at CYS/LAR between 21z and 03z. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 458 AM MDT Mon Jun 6 2016 Fire weather concerns will be minimal through midweek as humidities area expected to remain 20 percent or higher through this time. && .HYDROLOGY... Issued at 458 PM MDT Mon Jun 6 2016 Continued warmer temperatures through the upcoming week will result in an increased snowmelt rate into the headwaters of the Upper North Platte, Little Snake and Laramie Rivers. Low temps from Tuesday-Friday this week will be in the 40s with daytime highs ranging from 65 to 70 at elevations between 9000 and 10000ft. Many streams and rivers in southeast Wyoming are expected to see rises as a result. Water levels in the North Platte in the Nebraska Panhandle however will see a slow fall or near steady levels for the next several days due to limited reservoir releases. Shower and thunderstorm activity expected over the high country the next few days could enhance snowmelt rates, and contribute to short-term spikes in water levels on nearby rivers. && .CYS Watches/Warnings/Advisories...
