Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cheyenne WY
1258 PM MDT Tue Aug 8 2017

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday night)
Issued at 100 PM MDT Tue Aug 8 2017

Tonight...Agree with the Storm Prediction Center marginal risk this
evening, east of a Laramie to Lusk line, as CAPE has increased to
1000 to 2000 J/kg with wind shear expected to be close to 30 knots.
Greatest coverage of showers and thunderstorms this evening expected
to be south of a Douglas to Alliance line, closer to the deeper
moisture. A few storms through this evening may produce hail and
gusty winds along with locally heavy rainfall based on precipitable
water and slow movement of storms. Isolated to scattered showers
expected after midnight, over our western and southern counties,
along with areas of fog over our southern counties.

Wednesday...Less coverage of storms over our eastern counties east
of Interstate 25, with scattered coverage in the afternoon west of
Interstate 25 where a more unstable airmass will prevail. Stuck
close to guidance high temperatures from the NAM and GFS.

Wednesday night...Another shortwave trough aloft progged to move
across our counties, spawning isolated to scattered showers and
thunderstorms, north of a Rawlins to Scottsbluff line after midnight.

Thursday...With copious amounts of low and mid level moisture
overhead, and weak upslope, expect scattered showers and isolated
thunderstorms in the afternoon. Cooler with all the cloud cover and
scattered showers and have compromised between the NAM and GFS MOS
maximums for high temperatures.

Thursday night...Decreasing coverage of showers and thunderstorms,
especially after midnight with loss of daytime heating and apparent
lack of lifting mechanisms.

.LONG TERM...(Friday through Tuesday)
Issued at 100 PM MDT Tue Aug 8 2017

Unsettled weather is going to continue in the long term as we stay
under northwest flow aloft with upper ridge axis off to our west.
We get impacted by clipper systems moving through the northwest
flow almost on a daily basis. Looks like a fairly strong clipper
system Friday afternoon that both the GFS and ECMWF target in on.
Fairly widespread coverage of showers and QPF over the southern
Panhandle back west to Cheyenne Friday afternoon. as a boundary
lays along the east slopes of the Laramie Range.

Fairly dry Saturday as we are in between systems, but then
Sunday, the next clipper system moves through the Nebraska
Panhandle for another chance of showers and thunderstorms.

Ridge begins to break down early next week as a strong Pacific low
pressure system moves into the PACNW. May get back to more of a
normal pattern by Tuesday with westerly winds and drier weather by
that time.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon)
Issued at 1106 AM MDT Tue Aug 8 2017

Thunderstorms still looking good for airports along and east of
the Laramie Range this afternoon as well as KLAR. Strongest storms
east of the Laramie Range that could drop some large hail and
heavy rain. Storms look to begin around 1500L and run through
sunset.

Minimal concerns due to expected rainfall as well as forecast
winds and humidities.
