Area Forecast Discussion

223 PM MDT WED JUN 29 2016

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday)
Issued at 215 PM MDT Wed Jun 29 2016

Tonight...Shortwave progged to move across our counties this evening
with scattered thunderstorms across southeast Wyoming progged to
move east southeast across the Nebraska panhandle this evening.
Based on the models and the instability axis, best chance of severe
storms will be south of a Douglas to Alliance line this evening and
along and east of I-25.

Thursday...Cooler and a more shower filled day with deep upslope to
700 mb, limiting instability. Expect scattered to numerous showers
and thunderstorms in the afternoon, and with CAPES only 500 to 1000
J/kg and shear around 40 knots, will have less chance for severe
storms and more producing locally heavy rain due to weaker winds
aloft.

Thursday night...Showers and thunderstorms will take longer to
dissipate with soupy airmass in place as a shortwave approaches from
southwest Wyoming.

Friday...Slow moving shortwave moves overhead, and with a moist
airmass in place from the low to mid levels, at least scattered, and
more likely numerous showers and scattered thunderstorms expected in
the afternoon east of Interstate 25. Main focus for storms will be
along and east of a Lusk to Kimball line, where low level
convergence will be maximized along a frontal boundary.

.LONG TERM...(Friday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 215 PM MDT Wed Jun 29 2016

Monsoonal fetch of subtropical moisture from the Four Corners
into the central Rockies and High Plains will keep conditions
unsettled Friday night through Sunday, with scattered mainly
afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. Precipitable
water values will range from 0.75 inches west of Laramie Range
to 1.50 inches east Friday night and Saturday, so there is the
potential for locally heavy rainfall with some of the convection.
The severe threat will be low with MUCAPE values 500-1000 j/kg
and shear values less than 30 kt. A shortwave trough will push
across the central and southern Rockies Saturday, and into the
plains Sunday. Models indicate somewhat drier air will return
Sunday through early next week as zonal flow aloft diverts the
subtropical moisture to the south. There will be some instability
though, so cannot discount isolated diurnal convection mainly
over and near the higher terrain of southeast Wyoming. Slightly
below normal temperatures Saturday, moderate to normal Sunday, and
above normal Independence Day through Wednesday. Very warm
temperatures, breezy west to southwest winds and low humidities
will heighten the fire danger over east and south central WY.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday afternoon)
Issued at 1146 AM MDT Wed Jun 29 2016

No significant change from the 12Z taf issuance. A couple short
range models are indication convection developing over the
southeast WY mountains early afternoon and moving ESE onto the
adjacent valleys and plains by 21Z, including RWL, LAR and CYS.
Confidence not high/coverage more isolated this afternoon, so
maintained VCTS at these aerodromes. Western NE aerodromes may not
see convection form until around 00Z. Potential for strong/gusty
outflow winds and hail east of the Laramie Range where instability
and wind shear will be greater. Convection will come to an end
later this evening.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 205 PM MDT Wed Jun 29 2016

Minimal concerns based on projected humidities and winds, especially
through Friday with a moist air mass in place.
