Area forecast discussion, Sep 8, 2:25 PM MDT, 2 hours 48 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cheyenne WY
225 PM MDT Sat Sep 8 2018

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday Night)
Issued at 217 PM MDT Sat Sep 8 2018

Tonight...With a shortwave trough aloft moving across near peak
heating and a surface trough over southeast Wyoming, expect isolated
to widely scattered thunderstorms to develop through the evening
hours. With CAPE in excess of 1000 J/kg and weak shear, a few storms
may become strong to severe, primarily with wind gusts. Areas of fog
likely again after midnight, though further east across the Nebraska
Panhandle.

Sunday...Brisk west northwest flow aloft will aid in the drying of
the low and mid levels, effectively ending all chances for showers
and thunderstorms. Temperatures will also be warmer due to less
cloud cover and a drier airmass in place.

Sunday night...The drier airmass will promote excellent radiational
cooling with slightly cooler temperatures then Saturday night.

Monday...Low amplitude ridging aloft will develop, and with the dry
airmass in place, no showers or thunderstorms are expected.
Temperatures about the same as those of Sunday.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Saturday)
Issued at 217 PM MDT Sat Sep 8 2018

Tuesday-Saturday...Dry west southwest flow aloft will prevail, and
with limited low and mid level moisture, showers and thunderstorms
appear unlikely. Above normal temperatures will continue based on
projected 700 mb temperatures and higher than normal heights
aloft.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday afternoon)
Issued at 217 PM MDT Sat Sep 8 2018

Main concern today is the timing and coverage of afternoon and
evening thunderstorm activity. Isolated shower and thunderstorm
activity will begin developing DGW-RWL 19-20z and spreading east
thereafter. Have added VCTS into all SE WY/W NE TAFs with the
exception of KRWL. Will continue to monitor and update TAFs as
confidence increases in location and scope. Erratic winds can be
expected with any shower/thunderstorm activity as well. Otherwise,
expect VFR conditions to prevail through the period, with clearing
skies anticipated overnight.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 217 PM MDT Sat Sep 8 2018

Low relative humidities from 10 to 20 percent will
prevail each afternoon along and west of Interstate 25, with
elevated concerns most days as wind gusts approach critical
thresholds.

&&

.CYS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
WY...None.
NE...None.
