Area forecast discussion, Jul 1, 4:52 PM MDT, 2 hours 14 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Cheyenne WY 452 PM MDT FRI JUL 1 2016 .SHORT TERM...(This afternoon through Sunday) Issued at 230 PM MDT Fri Jul 1 2016 Early afternoon water vapor loop showed a shortwave trough moving east toward the Four Corners. Subtropical fetch of moisture across the central/southern Rockies and plains, unstable air mass and mid/upper level forcing from wave will trigger showers and widely scattered thunderstorms this afternoon and early evening. Precipitable water values from 1.0 to 1.5" indicate potential for locally heavy rainfall from the slower showers and storms. Severe potential low with limited 0-6km shear and CAPEs less than 1000 j/kg. Convection will decrease in areal coverage and intensity later this evening. Models have slowed eastward progression of the shortwave trough, with the system exiting the CWA Saturday evening. Lingering moisture and instability over the southern 2/3 of the CWA will produce isolated to scattered afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. Below normal temperatures will continue Saturday with highs in the 70s to around 80, with 60s for the mountains. Breezy, warmer and generally drier conditions return Sunday as the upper ridge axis moves over the CWA. Isolated afternoon thunderstorms will be possible over the southeast WY mountains and adjacent foothills and plains. High temperatures Sunday will rise into the 80s to near 90, with 60s and 70s for the mountains and high valleys. .LONG TERM...(Sunday Night through Thursday) Issued at 230 PM MDT Fri Jul 1 2016 A warming and drying trend will occur by late this weekend into early next week. 700 mb temps rise to around 14-16C by Mon/Tues with west to southwesterly flow aloft. Highs will be back up into the mid 80s to low 90s. Will have to watch for some critical fire weather conditions by Tuesday/Wednesday as min RH values fall to 10-20 percent over southeast Wyoming and winds gust to 25-30 mph for areas along and west of the Laramie Range. Coverage of storms will be more limited by early next week as drier 700-500 mb flow works into the region. The ECMWF differs from the GFS in showing storm chances returning by Thurs as llvl moisture and instability increase over the plains behind a front. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Saturday evening) Issued at 446 PM MDT Fri Jul 1 2016 Isolated showers and thunderstorms will be possible over the next few hours. Brief heavy rain will be the main threat with the thunderstorms. IFR/LIFR cigs will become more widespread across the Nebraska Panhandle between 06-09Z. The low clouds and ifr conditions will linger over the Panhandle through late morning. Storm chances on Saturday afternoon will be mainly confined to areas along and west of the Laramie Range. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 230 PM MDT Fri Jul 1 2016 Minimal fire weather concerns through the weekend due to widespread rainfall this afternoon and tonight...high relative humidities...and light winds. Drier and warmer weather is expected Tuesday through Thursday of next week with increasing fire weather concerns expected...particularly along and west of the Laramie Range. && .CYS Watches/Warnings/Advisories...
