Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Denver/Boulder CO
251 PM MDT Mon May 28 2018

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday)
Issued at 251 PM MDT Mon May 28 2018

Strong to severe thunderstorms have been developing in the
mountains and foothills with nothing yet over the plains. The
Stratus deck has mostly dissipated over the southern two-thirds of
the Urban Corridor. There is some sun over most of the rest of
the plains. There is decent batch of synoptic scale energy getting
our way from the Four Corners area. Models show this well on the
QG Omega fields. Much of the plains show CAPE values over 2000
J/kg for this afternoon and evening. The threat of severe weather
will continue.  For Tuesday, there is still morning some CAPE
around during the afternoon, and there should more sun. We should
see another round of thunderstorms in the afternoon, but likely
not as strong is this afternoon/ evening's. For temperatures,
Tuesday's highs will be up to 3 C warmer then this afternoon's
highs.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Monday)
Issued at 251 PM MDT Mon May 28 2018

Convection will continue to spread east across the plains Tuesday
evening, with a repeat performance of scattered afternoon and
evening storms on Wednesday. It looks like coverage should be
decent but strength limited.

Thursday and Friday will bring increasing southwest flow aloft
with dry air. There could still be some weak convection over the
mountains, but nothing else. Also could be a marginal fire
weather risk over South Park.

Only fair agreement in the models on a shortwave for late Friday
or early Saturday. Most have this being dry, with a surge of
westerly or northwest winds behind it, then a cold front bringing
air in from the north across the plains Saturday. This may bring
us back to low grade diurnal convection for Sunday and Monday,
though resuming southwest flow may still keep us relatively dry.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday afternoon)
Issued at 251 PM MDT Mon May 28 2018

The winds are staying nearly due northerly at DIA this afternoon.
The hi-resolution models still show northwesterly winds at DIA by
02Z this evening. They never really show true drainage patterns
after 06Z. The other models do show drainage after 06Z. TSRAGS is
a good bet after 22Z well into this evening. Will go with BKN040
for ceilings well into this evening.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 251 PM MDT Mon May 28 2018

Heavy rains are expected with this afternoon and evening's strong
and severe convection. Will go with a Flash Flood Watch over the
northeast corner counties of Morgan, Washington, Logan, Phillips
and Sedgwick. Some areas in these counties had some decent
rainfall amounts from yesterday's convection.

&&

.BOU WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
Flash Flood Watch from 6 PM MDT this evening through late
tonight for COZ044-048>051.

...SEVERE WEATHER IS POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON INCLUDING LARGE HAIL,
DAMAGING WINDS, AND A COUPLE TORNADOES...

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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

A few showers and Thunderstorms are beginning to develop over the
mountains at this. Showers and Thunderstorms will get onto the
plains after 1 PM. Sufficient daytime heating for severe
thunderstorms may be curtailed by the low cloud deck now in place
over most of the plains. Any storms that become severe will be
capable of producing very large hail, damaging winds, and even a
couple tornadoes. At this time, the main threat of any tornadoes
would occur from eastern Elbert, Lincoln and southern Washington
Counties by late afternoon. Heavy rainfall and minor flooding of
low lying areas will also be a concern as the storms become more
widespread over the northeastern plains late this afternoon and
evening.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday

Scattered afternoon and evening thunderstorms are expected to
develop on Tuesday and Wednesday. The threat of severe storms
is low. Thursday through Sunday should be dry and hot.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation may be needed after 2 PM.
