Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Cheyenne WY
1201 PM MDT Fri May 11 2018

.SHORT TERM...(Today and Saturday night)
Issued at 309 AM MDT Fri May 11 2018

Today...Another relatively active day thunderstorm wise with all
ingredients coming together for a few strong to severe thunderstorms
this afternoon and evening. Painted areas of fog through mid
morning, mainly over the Nebraska panhandle where fog has formed and
with temperature and dewpoint spreads quite minimal.

Expect scattered to numerous showers and isolated thunderstorms to
develop this afternoon with moist low levels of the atmosphere
overridden by moist southwest flow aloft, that will back this
afternoon producing impressive amounts of shear and instability. The
low and mid level theta-e axis is progged to stretch from Laramie to
Cheyenne to Kimball with 55 to 60 knots of 0 to 6 km bulk shear.
With plenty of low level moisture remaining to fuel thunderstorms
under moist easterly flow at low levels, expect a few strong to
severe thunderstorms to develop this afternoon along the slight risk
area and slowly propagate to the northeast. Main threats will be
large hail and damaging winds. Stuck close to averaged guidance high
temperatures.

Tonight...Scattered to numerous showers and isolated thunderstorms
will continue into the evening with plenty of overrunning in the
atmosphere. Shower coverage will decrease somewhat after midnight,
though still at least in the scattered variety with diffluent flow
aloft and moist upslope at low levels.

Saturday...The atmosphere dries out somewhat and thus expect a
decrease in afternoon and evening shower and thunderstorm coverage.
Best chances for showers will be along the spine of the Laramie
Range where instability will be maximized due to the proximity of
the theta-e ridge axis. Continued cool with plenty of clouds and
cool upslope east winds.

Saturday night...Will still see scattered shower coverage due to the
relatively moist atmosphere and embedded shortwave troughs aloft in
the southwest flow aloft. Best chances for shower coverage will be
along and near the Laramie Range and Interstate 25 corridor where
upslope will be maximized.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday through Thursday night)
Issued at 300 AM MDT Fri May 11 2018

No significant changes made to the medium and long range forecast
since all models in good agreement regarding the overall Long
Wave pattern. Models showing generally unsettled weather and
cooler than average or near average temperatures through next
week. Late Sunday and Monday look to be the most favorable days
for widespread showers and thunderstorms, particularly across
southeast Wyoming and the southern Nebraska panhandle. The upper
level low, forecast to stall across the eastern Great Basin today,
is expected to drift east as a series of shortwaves move rapidly
from southwest to northeast across the Front Range. In addition,
the stalled cold front will still be around the area providing
ample convergence and a chance for strong thunderstorms during the
afternoon. Kept POP between 40 to 60 percent across most of the
area during this time frame. Temperatures during the day will
struggle to reach the low to mid 60s.

As for the remainder of the week, some models still show the slow
moving upper level low still impacting the area as late as
Wednesday. The 00z ECMWF shows the system retrograding westward
during the middle of the week and eventually being absorbed by the
next strong Pacific low moving towards the California coastline.
Kept a daily threat of showers and thunderstorms each day through
Thursday afternoon. Do expect daytime temperatures to increase a
few degrees by the end of next week as the cold pool aloft
generally weakens and slightly more sunshine is expected across
the area during the daytime.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday afternoon)
Issued at 1149 AM MDT Fri May 11 2018

Widespread IFR and LIFR ceilings across western Nebraska late
this morning and into early afternoon. Not much improvement is
expected with only MVFR ceilings likely through the afternoon in
NE along with -RA periodically occurring. For WY TAF sites, VFR
conditions prevail but expect TSRA to develop over the Laramie
Mountain Range next 1-2 hours and shift east across eastern
Wyoming. Turbulence and local wind shear will be likely near the
stronger storms as pockets of gusty winds will be possible. Large
hail will also be a concern in the strongest of storms. TSRA
activity will decrease through the evening hours but scattered
SHRA/DZ will persist overnight for NE sites as low clouds hang on.
Ceilings will fall back down to IFR and possibly LIFR Saturday
morning for NE sites and CYS. A slow improvement is expected to
MVFR ceilings mid-day Saturday.

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 149 AM MDT Fri May 11 2018

No concerns due to expected wet conditions and also the projected
winds and humidities.
