.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday)
Issued at 158 PM MDT Mon Jun 27 2016

Currently in a severe thunderstorm watch for most of the area.
Mesoscale boundaries have made this a complicated forecast with
high resolution/convectively allowing models having a hard time
with current scenario. Look to have two different waves of
thunderstorms. Current activity will push south and east and then
another cluster moves in from the north later in the evening.
Activity should decrease in intensity after midnight but will be
around the rest of the night.

Should have lingering thunderstorms in the morning in the far
east. Then the rest of the day should be dry/quiet due to stable
air mass in place after tonights convection and 700 mb ridging on
top of that. Temperatures will be problematic due to cloud cover
and rain cooled air mass. Depending on tonights scenario works
out, night shift will need to look into the possibility of fog.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday through Sunday)
Issued at 204 AM MDT Mon Jun 27 2016

The upper level pattern has not changed over the weekend, with the
same pattern of a trough over the eastern states and a ridge in the
western states. There is a trough beginning to move into the Pacific
Northwest Thursday and will continue to push east during the
extended period; which will eventually push the ridge east. The CWA
is still between the ridge and trough, which is creating a mid to
upper level northwest flow. That in association with 700 mb
shortwaves and favorable CAPE values, rain and storm chances will
continue through the period; with chances starting to decrease by
Sunday as the ridge begins to push east. The current model runs are
showing the best day for precipitation and storms to be Thursday,
primarily in the evening and overnight hours along the western
portions of the CWA. Friday has a similar set up as Thursday but the
more intense storm potential looks to be south of our CWA, yet
storms are still possible over the region. Saturday and Sunday could
see precipitation but with the ridge starting to move east the
greatest chances for storms will be east of the CWA. Temperatures
are expected to drop Friday into the upper 70s and low 80s but will
increase back into the mid 80s and low 90s Saturday and Sunday with
the ridge pushing east.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday afternoon)
Issued at 1142 AM MDT Mon Jun 27 2016

Complex forecast due to mesoscale influences from the overnight
convection that most of the model output is not taking into
account. Currently thunderstorms are occurring to the west and
northwest of both sites. For Kgld...am expecting thunderstorms to
begin affecting the site from around 20z to around 03z. Some mvfr
conditions look to occur here. Winds will remain highly variable.

For Kmck...There looks to be two different rounds of thunderstorms
that will affect the area. The first one will be around 21z and
lasting to near 00z. Second round looks to occur from around 04z
to near 08z. Did not feel confident enough to put in mvfr
conditions and just have vfr at this time. The winds will also be
highly variable in nature due to thunderstorm outflow boundaries.
