Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cheyenne WY
420 PM MDT Thu Jul 26 2018

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday)
Issued at 300 PM MDT Thu Jul 26 2018

Severe weather ongoing across southeast Wyoming as we get an early
start today. Forecast challenges deal with severe convection and
possibility of heavy rain both today and Friday.

Currently...Water vapor imagery showing an upper level shortwave
tracking into the CWFA that has kicked off convection. SPC
Mesoanalysis page showing an uncapped environment with surface
based CAPE around 2000-2500J/KG already this afternoon at 2PM.
Bulk shear around 40-45kts as well. Both CAPE and shear are
expected to continue increasing through the rest of the afternoon.
CAPE expected to peak out around 3000-3500 J/KG at 6PM and bulk
shear increases to 50-55kts. Large hail, damaging winds and a few
tornadoes can not be ruled out. PWATs in excess of 1 inch continue
across our eastern counties through the afternoon, so existing
Flash Flood Watch will remain in effect. HRRR continues to show
pretty strong cells across the area through roughly 03Z before
beginning to ease.

Forecast still on track for severe weather Friday as another
shortwave tracks into the Nebraska Panhandle. ECMWF continues to
show the best area for severe storms Friday to be over the
Panhandle where SPC has an Enhanced Risk for severe storms. Heavy
rainfall expected out there Friday, so later shifts will need to
consider another Flash Flood Watch once again.

.LONG TERM...(Friday night through Thursday)
Issued at 307 AM MDT Thu Jul 26 2018

The wet and unsettled conditions will remain over the area
Saturday through Sunday with a pretty good push of cool air for
late July arriving Sunday. Scattered to numerous showers and
storms will continue both days. Drying should then ensue late
Sunday in the wake of a stronger shortwave that will move south
from the northern plains and cut off the monsoonal moisture for a
time. Monday through Weds should see warming temperatures back to
near seasonal averages along with mainly dry conditions under a
persistent northwesterly flow aloft.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday evening)
Issued at 417 PM MDT Thu Jul 26 2018

Round #2 of thunderstorms beginning to develop along the Laramie
Range late this afternoon. Using latest HRRR guidance shows the
storms impacting KCYS and Nebraska Panhandle airports through the
03-04Z timeframe. Could see stratus redevelop tonight for those
airfields that receive heavy rainfall this evening. More
widespread showers and thunderstorms expected for the Panhandle
airports Friday afternoon.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 300 PM MDT Thu Jul 26 2018

Minimal fire weather concerns over the next few days as monsoon
moisture remains in place. Widespread wetting rains expected with
well above critical humidity in the afternoon. Expect showers and
thunderstorms to continue through Sunday, before drying commences
next week. Until then, fire weather threats will remain low.

.CYS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

     119.
