Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Cheyenne WY 119 PM MDT Tue Jul 3 2018 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday Night) Issued at 114 PM MDT Tue Jul 3 2018 Tonight...Agree with the Storm Prediction Center slight risk area roughly north of a Lusk to Scottsbluff to Alliance line, where CAPES are 1500 to 2500 J/kg with shear values near 40 knots. Anticipate isolated to scattered thunderstorms through this evening, some strong to severe, mainly east of Interstate 25, as a shortwave trough rotates across our counties. Clearing skies late this evening and overnight. 4th of July...Cooler and more stable in the wake of a cold front. Expect isolated afternoon thunderstorms along the Laramie Range and nearby locations with moist upslope easterly winds.

Thursday...Despite ridging aloft, we should see isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon developing along and near the Colorado state line in moist flow aloft. .LONG TERM...(Friday through Tuesday) Issued at 114 PM MDT Tue Jul 3 2018 Friday...Warming trend continues as the ridge aloft strengthens and 700 mb temperatures increase. Perhaps a few thunderstorms in the afternoon over and near the mountains, otherwise dry. Saturday/Sunday...Mostly dry and hot weather prevails under strong ridging aloft.
