Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Cheyenne WY
1140 AM MDT SUN JUN 12 2016

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1050 AM MDT Sun Jun 12 2016

Scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop over southeast
Wyoming and western Nebraska Panhandle this afternoon. Already
starting to cumulus development over the snowy and sierra madre
ranges. Should see a few thunderstorms by early this afternoon and
then increasing into coverage through the afternoon. There is a
chance for at least a few severe thunderstorms today. Effective
shear will be around 40kts and most unstable CAPE between
1000-2000 j/kg. Overall the severe threat is low but currently
thinking there will be a few severe thunderstorms this
afternoon/early evening. The main threats would be wind gusts to
around 60 mph and 1 inch hail or slightly bigger.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Tuesday)
Issued at 330 AM MDT Sun Jun 12 2016

Current surface observations across Wyoming show a weak cold front
slowly moving southward across the state and position just north
of Douglas and Lusk. This front will continue to slide southward
today as the upper level ridge axis will gradually weaken east of
the forecast area. High res models show a disturbance aloft
drifting over the area in the afternoon. These features will
combine with low to midlevel instability resulting in another
round of afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Most high res models
show a large complex of thunderstorms developing over extreme
southeast Wyoming this evening and gradually moving
east...producing large amounts of rain. This will need to be
closely monitored today since the activity looks MCS-like in
structure as it moves across western Nebraska. Increased POP
between 30 to 60 percent for scattered/numerous showers and
tstorms. High temperatures in the 70s to mid 80s today will
likely occur late this morning or early this afternoon and then
fall into the 60s as thunderstorm activity becomes more
widespread.

Monday may be a pretty busy day across the area as all models show
an enhanced threat of severe weather across the southeast Wyoming
and all of western Nebraska...Especially southeast of a line from
Laramie to Lusk. All the ingredients appear to be there for a
decent outbreak of thunderstorms...as the Pacific upper level
trough moves into Utah and western Colorado. Large hail...strong
winds...very heavy rainfall...and frequent cloud to ground
lightning appear to be the main threats. With EHI indices around 1
to 2 through Monday afternoon and evening...can not rule out a few
tornadoes as well east of the Laramie range. Increased POP and
added severe wording in the forecast through late Monday evening.

By Tuesday...conditions are expected to improve from west to east
as the upper level trough moves overhead and east of the forecast
area by the afternoon. Can not rule out an isolated
thundershower across the eastern plains. Otherwise...temperatures
will begin to moderate as an upper level ridge builds over the
rockys and drier air moves into the forecast area.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Saturday)
Issued at 213 AM MDT Sun Jun 12 2016

Southwest flow will prevail with a nearly stationary upper trough
over the Northwest CONUS. A low level thermal ridge builds over
the CWA Wednesday through Saturday, with temperatures warming to
above seasonal normals. 700mb temperatures are progged from 14C
to 17C, with daytime high temperatures rising into the 80s to mid
90s for the valleys and plains. Precipitation-wise, subsidence,
warm layer aloft and lack of large scale lift will preclude deep
convection, even over the higher terrain. The ECMWF does show
light QPF Friday associated with a weak shortwave lifting
northeast across the north-central high plains, and inserted small
PoP for northern NE Panhandle. Otherwise, it will be dry.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon)
Issued at 1140 AM MDT Sun Jun 12 2016

Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms already developing
across eastern Colorado into the southern Nebraska Panhandle late
this morning...moving northeast. Carried periodic MVFR
visibilities for Laramie...Cheyenne...Sidney and Alliance this
afternoon into the early evening due to passing showers and
thunderstorms...and put mention of vicinity thunderstorms for
Scottsbluff and Chadron this afternoon and early evening. NAM
pushing hard for fog across Cheyenne and the southern Nebraska
Panhandle early tomorrow morning...but other guidance namely the
GFS (which has a low probability of detection) and the HRRR (which
has a higher POD) doesn't offer fog and low stratus tonight. Given
wind directions fog for those areas is not out of the realm of
possibility given potential of lingering moisture in the wake of
this afternoons thunderstorms...but for now confidence not high
enough to include in the forecast.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 251 AM MDT Sun Jun 12 2016

No fire weather concerns through the middle of the week. Cooler
temperatures are expected through Tuesday as a cold front moves
across the area early this morning...and then stalls near the
mountains. Precipitation chances and thunderstorm coverage will
increase today and Monday...with the best chance of widespread
wetting rainfall Monday and Monday night as an upper level
disturbance moves north and east across southeast Wyoming and
western Nebraska.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 213 AM MDT Sun Jun 12 2016

Most of the snowpack above 9500 feet has melted off from the
recent warm temperatures. Runoff will maintain high water levels
though along the Upper North Platte River at Saratoga and Sinclair,
Wyoming, as well as the Laramie River at Laramie, Wyoming early
this week. Cooler temperatures above 9500 feet the next few days
will decrease snowmelt rates somewhat. Water levels along the
Lower North Platte River will remain steady or slowly recede due
to reduced reservoir releases upstream in southeast Wyoming. There
will be a threat for locally heavy rain from thunderstorms today
and Monday east of the Laramie Range.
