Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cheyenne WY
336 PM MDT TUE JUN 28 2016

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday)
Issued at 330 PM MDT Tue Jun 28 2016

Afternoon water vapor loop depicted the shortwave moving ESE
across eastern MT/northeast MT. This wave and upper level jetlet
was providing sufficient lift for scattered active convection
across central/eastern WY and western SD. Areas west of the Front
Range, convection was high based with threat for dry microbursts.
East of the Front Range into the plains, the environment was more
moist and unstable with dew points in the 50s and temperatures in
the 80s and low 90s generating SBCAPES of 1500-2500 j/kg. 0-6km
shear profiles were not as impressive, so main threats for plains
storms will be potential for very large hail and damaging
downburst winds. Convective mode per HRRR has been consistently
discrete cells/small clusters through early evening, then
transitioning to linear/MCS mode mid to late evening over western
NE. Regardless, it'll be a busy afternoon/evening shift.

Convection will develop once again Wednesday afternoon and evening
with the stalled boundary along the Front Range. Not as impressive
environmental parameters as today, but still SBCAPEs ~1000-2000
j/kg and 0-6km shear ~30-40 kt suggest isolated severe threat
east of the I-25 corridor. It will be seasonably warm Wednesday
with highs in the upper 70s and 80s.

The upper ridge over the Four Corners will gradually weaken with
swath of monsoonal moisture overspreading the CWA. A potent
shortwave will track southeast into the Upper Midwest, with a
cold front pushing south and west into the CWA Wednesday night.
Precipitable water (PWAT) values are progged to increase to 0.75
to 1.25 inches Thursday with a moist post-frontal east to
southeast flow. Overall severe potential Thursday will be low with
less shear and lower CAPE values, however a few strong storms with
small hail and gusty winds will be possible. The main concern will
be locally heavy rainfall with higher PWATs and slower storm motions.
High temperatures Thursday will fall below seasonal normals with
upper 60s and 70s.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 300 PM MDT Tue Jun 28 2016

Thursday night/Friday...Isolated to scattered evening showers and
thunderstorms Thursday night will gradually decrease in areal
coverage with the loss of daytime heating. A bit less areal coverage
of showers and thunderstorms Friday afternoon and evening with less
low and mid level moisture and low level winds from the south rather
than from the more upslope easterly direction.

Saturday...Shortwave progged to be east of our counties in the
afternoon with shortwave ridging overhead. With some drying noted in
the low and mid levels and warmer temperatures aloft, only isolated
thunderstorms anticipated.

Sunday...Flow aloft becomes northwest. With relatively warm mid
level temperatures near 16 Celsius acting to limit convective
development, and limited low and mid level moisture, only isolated
afternoon and evening thunderstorms expected.

Fourth of July...Heights aloft progged to increase with even more
drying in the low and mid levels, thus thunderstorm chances look
quite meager, so this should be a nice day for outdoor activities
all day long, even in the evening hours.

Tuesday...Heights aloft decrease slightly, though with limited low
and mid level moisture, only isolated thunderstorms at best, are
anticipated.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon)
Issued at 1124 AM MDT Tue Jun 28 2016

Wyoming TAFS...VFR at Rawlins and Laramie with isolated
thunderstorms from 21Z to 02Z. At Cheyenne, VFR prevails with
isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms from 21Z to 02Z
producing wind gusts to 45 knots and localized MVFR. MVFR in
fog and low clouds at Cheyenne from 10Z to 15Z.

Nebraska TAFS...VFR prevails. Scattered thunderstorms, some
possibly severe, between 20Z and 06Z, with strongest storms
producing wind gusts in excess of 50 knots, large hail, heavy
rain and extreme turbulence under MVFR conditions. IFR in fog
and low clouds developing from 06Z to 15Z.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 230 PM MDT Tue Jun 28 2016

A potent upper level disturbance interacting with a moist and
unstable environment will produce scattered afternoon and evening
thunderstorms. Some of the storms east of the laramie range may
be severe with damaging winds and large hail. isolated to scattered
afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms will develop
wednesday through saturday...with dry and warm conditions sunday
and independence day.
