Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Denver/Boulder CO
244 PM MDT Wed May 30 2018

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday)
Issued at 244 PM MDT Wed May 30 2018

Convection developing about as expected, with the focus on the
convergence line from south of Denver out toward Akron. This
activity will be moving into and area with decent convergence and
about 1000 J/kg so there's a threat of marginally severe hail.
Further west mostly weak activity, but there is a bit more heat
and moisture along the Cheyenne Ridge so a marginally severe storm
may be possible near the northern border as well.

Storms should end from west to east fairly early this evening,
with clearing overnight. On Thursday there will be warmer and very
dry air aloft, which should seriously limit convection. There is
probably still enough instability for some weak showers and storms
over the mountains. Our forecast temperatures are near guidance
and look good.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 244 PM MDT Wed May 30 2018

An increasing southwesterly flow aloft will be over the region
Thursday night and Friday ahead of an upper trough that will have
moved into western WY by 00Z. Very warm and dry ahead of this
approaching system. 700 mb temperatures around 14-16C, which will
translate to highs around 90. The highest computed CAPES 500-800
j/kg over the northeast corner of the state. A cold front
associated the the passing trough will move through the cwa
Friday night. Best chance of showers and tstms will likely occur
Friday evening. Saturday and Saturday night, high pressure at the
surface and aloft will allow for a cooler more stable airmass.
Thunderstorm coverage will be low and confined to the higher
terrain. Sunday and Sunday night, temperatures start to warm once
again. Sfc based CAPES not very high, but should see better
coverage of thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening over the
mountains, with a few storms spreading onto the adjacent plains.
Focus for most of the thunderstorms will be over the Palmer
Divide. The models do show a weak embedded disturbance moving
across southern CO/northern New MX. Drier and warmer for the start
of the next week. Ridge of high pressure will build over CO on
Monday with increasing mid level temperatures. Should see
temperature climb back into the 90s for early next week. Still
some qpf generated by the models in the afternoon and evening so
should see isolated on Monday, little if any thunderstorm
potentiaL on Tuesday. By the middle of next week, the ridge will
build over the southern Great Plains. The models show increasing
moisture in southwesterly flow advecting into CO possibly by late
next week.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday afternoon)
Issued at 244 PM MDT Wed May 30 2018

VFR through Thursday. Most of the thunderstorms will be south and
southeast of Denver, but isolated weak showers/storms are still
possible that could produce a wind shift or two. Just a slight
chance of any strong winds. Only isolated storms over the
mountains on Thursday afternoon, with no impact expected on the
Denver terminals.
