Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Denver/Boulder CO
333 PM MDT Sun Aug 13 2017

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday)
Issued at 333 PM MDT Sun Aug 13 2017

Scattered showers and thunderstorms are moving out of the
foothills and onto the adjacent plains, as expected. Shower
activity extends back into northwest Colorado, so more storms can
be expected for a couple more hours. Gusty winds, brief rain and
small hail will be the main threats. Gusts into the 40 to 50 mph
range should be expected. Clouds and showers will diminish as
sunset approaches. Further east, LAPS CAPE fields show only modest
instability (around 1000 j/kg). Stronger instability is present
over the far east parts of Colorado, so severe weather is expected
with the thunderstorms through the evening. The strongest storms
should develope over southwest Nebraska and western Kansas.

For Monday, it looks like another setup similar to today. Mostly
sunny morning skies will give way to increasing clouds and another
round of thunderstorms moving out of the mountains. Model
soundings only show about 1000 j/kg of CAPE, so storms should
remain below severe limits. Temperatures will continue running at
or just below seasonal normals.

.LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday)
Issued at 333 PM MDT Sun Aug 13 2017

Monday night, the upper level ridge axis will be over the Central
Plains an upper level trough axis stretching from southwest MT
into ncntrl NV. As a result the flow aloft will be west to
southwesterly. Subtropical moisture continue over the region with
NAM12 soundings still around one inch. Forecast soundings over
1000 j/kg for Denver, with higher values over 2000 j/kg over the
northeast plains. The pattern will remain unsettled through the
middle of the week as the upper trough shifts eastward and its
axis brushes the state Tuesday night into Wednesday, then another
secondary system may possibly follow suit on Thursday. Weak surge
from the north may also help to reinforce the low level moisture
across the northeast plains of CO.  By the end of the week the
ridge will be centered south and east of CO with a weak
southwesterly flow over the state. Confidence still low this far
out but trend for warmer and a little drier may kick in by that
time. Overall trend with the temperatures will continue through
the period with highs each day running slightly below normal.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon)
Issued at 333 PM MDT Sun Aug 13 2017

A chance of thunderstorms will continue for a couple more hours,
then conditions will improved. Southerly winds are expected
overnight and then tomorrow will see another afternoon with a
chance of thunderstorms rolling across the city.

This hazardous weather outlook is for northeast and north central
Colorado.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Another round of thunderstorms is expected to move out of the
mountains and across the plains this afternoon and evening. Storms
moving out of the foothills and over the urban corridor will
produce brief heavy rain and gusty winds up to 40 mph. Later this
evening, some severe storms may develop east of a line from
Sterling to Akron to Limon. Golfball size hail and wind gusts to
70 mph will be possible.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday

Much of the outlook area will continue to experience thunderstorms
during the afternoon and evening hours through Thursday. The
Front Range foothills, Palmer Divide and the far eastern plains of
Colorado will have the best chance to see the thunderstorms. Some
storms could produce locally heavy rainfall, and a few storms
across the northeast corner of the state could produce large hail
and damaging winds. Drier and slightly warmer weather should
spread over the region at the end of the week as a strong high
pressure ridge slowly builds in from the west.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed today or tonight.
