Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Denver/Boulder CO
843 PM MDT Tue Jun 5 2018

.UPDATE...
Issued at 843 PM MDT Tue Jun 5 2018

We had a rather active late afternoon and evening due to
microburst activity. A peak wind gust of 66 mph was reported at
Buckley, and 54 mph at Denver International Airport. The bulk of
the convection along the Front Range is now evaporating with the
loss of daytime heating, although can't rule out an isolated
shower/gusty outflow wind til about 10 PM. The remainder of the
convection is shifting east across the plains and that's only
isolated in coverage. That, too will be shifting east with most of
it clearing the eastern border by midnight. There's only partial
clearing noted on the satellite so look for an unseasonably warm
night for the forecast area.

There is some relief noted for the plains tomorrow as a weak cold
front is still on track to push across the area early in the
morning. However, that relief may very well set the stage for a
few severe thunderstorms. We'll refine that risk area overnight
into Wednesday morning as the boundary layer evolution over the
next 12 hours may shed more light on where the most unstable
airmass will set up tomorrow afternoon and evening, and where the
cap will be weakest. Bulk shear is somewhat limited but still
near 35-40 knots, sufficient for supercells. CAPE looks very
high where the deeper moisture holds in place with values of
2000-3000 J/kg. At this time, can't rule out a couple severe
storms developing as far back as the I-25 Corridor Wednesday
afternoon, but will continue to focus on this potential in future
updates.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 235 PM MDT Tue Jun 5 2018

This evening isolated convection will continue to move off the
mountains bringing high based thunderstorms onto the adjacent
plains. Storms will also form over the Palmer Divide and over the
eastern plains later in the evening. Expect gusty winds and light
rain or sprinkles from these storms.

Tomorrow morning a cold front will move into north Colorado. High
temperatures will be 5 to 10 degrees cooler than today. Isolated
afternoon thunderstorms will begin over the mountains and spread
east through the afternoon with increasing coverage. There will be
a slight risk of severe thunderstorms over the northeastern
corner. QG ascent will increase in the northeast corner in the
evening. Hail to 1 inch and wind gusts to 60 mph will be possible.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 235 PM MDT Tue Jun 5 2018

A terrain induced shortwave topping of the Great Plains upper
ridge is forecast to move off the Front Range and over Colorado's
northeast plains late afternoon/early evening Wed as per the NAM
and GFS. Low-level moisture wrapping back into a sfc low sitting
just southeast of the Denver metro area late Wed afternoon,
appears to pool on the north side a sfc boundary which models
show extending eastward across Elbert County, then northeastward
acrs nwrn Lincoln/sern Washington Counties. In the deeper
moisture north of this boundary, model sfc based CAPEs range
anywhere from 1400 to 3500 J/Kg, the higher values up along the
sern WY/swrn NE borders around 00z/Thu. As the shortwave passes
by, this cyclone and accompanying moisture are forecast to
lift northeastward through the evening. Decent bulk shear and
deep layer instability would favor single cell t-storms capable
of large hail and damaging winds. By evening, the bulk of this
activity should have moved well east of the I-25 urban corridor.
SPC has the northeast corner of the state in a slight risk for
SVR and marginal risk for SVR closer to the Front Range. As noted
above, the chance for t-storms and therefore SVR weather along
the Front Range should end by evening with post-trough downslope
drying. Skies should then clear from west-to-east overnight with
a drier and warmer swly flow aloft.

On Thursday and Friday, should see a more typical diurnal
temperature, wind and convective cycle with isolated to widely
scattered thermally driven t-storms forming initially over the
high terrain around midday and drifting east-northeast over the
plains through the afternoon. A drier, strongly mixed boundary
layer east of the mtns would result in higher cloud bases
favoring gusty outflow winds and less in the way of wetting
rainfall. However, the few t-storms that manage to form in higher
theta-e air along the eastern fringe of the CWA Thursday evening
could produce brief heavy rainfall and small hail. Otherwise,
temperatures will warm both days with low/mid 90s at lower
elevations, with the higher readings on Friday.

Saturday, models show little movement in the dominant Great
Plains ridge through the 1st half of the weekend. That keeps the
CWA under a very warm and mostly dry swly flow. If any t-storms
form, they should be confined to the high terrain. Sunday through
Tuesday, the upper ridge appears to shift east placing Colorado in
a near zonal flow at the bottom of the upper trough which models
show most of it passing north of the state during the period.
Sunday looks nearly as warm as Saturday, then temperatures cool
modestly with falling heights and the occasional weak surge of
cooler, drier air from WY.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Wednesday evening)
Issued at 843 PM MDT Tue Jun 5 2018

Microbursts are settling down and overall expect normal
south/southwest winds to prevail through the rest of the night.
There is just a slight chance of a variable wind gust til around
04Z. On Wednesday, look for a weak cold front to arrive 12Z-15Z
with north/northeast winds around 10 knots behind it. There will
be a chance of thunderstorms after 21Z Wednesday. Some of these
may contain hail and strong gusty winds.

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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Near record high temperatures are expected today, with highs in
the lower to mid 90s across the plains. Isolated thunderstorms
are expected, over and near the Front Range in the late afternoon
and early evening. Some of these storms will spread onto the
adjacent plains. Lightning and wind gusts to 40 mph will be the
main threats, with little or no rain from most of the storms.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday

There is a better chance for thunderstorms on the plains Wednesday,
some of which may turn severe during the afternoon and evening
hours. Large hail and damaging winds will be the primary threats,
although locally intense rainfall and perhaps a brief tornado can
not be ruled out. Isolated late day thunderstorms are also
expected in the high country. Lightning and gusty winds will be
the biggest concern with these storms.

For Thursday and Friday, there will be a slight chance of late
afternoon and early evening thunderstorms, mainly on the plains. By
the weekend, drier air is expected to spread over the region,
further reducing the chance for storms.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed today or tonight.
