Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Denver/Boulder CO
234 PM MDT Mon Jun 17 2019

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday)
Issued at 230 PM MDT Mon Jun 17 2019

Afternoon convection is underway across the mountains
and foothills with heavy rain and small hail the main threats. So
far, storms have been producing about a half inch per hour or less
rainfall rates. PW values ranging from 3/4 to an inch over the
plains. Initially the Front Range urban corridor and adjacent areas
are a bit more stable with ACARS soundings over Denver still showing
weak stable layer near 700mb due to more cloud cover from this
morning. With time, storms expected to push east over the plains
and still looking at strong to severe storms further east of the
urban corridor with better surface heating. CAPE values still
expected to push 2000 J/kg but mid level flow only 15-25kt. With
several weak impulses aloft expect another round of storms through
the evening so will carry chance pops through at least midnight.

For Tuesday, expect another cool and showery day with another round
of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. Precipitable water
values will remain high on Tuesday, generally around one inch so
main threat will be heavy rain. Instability is a bit weaker on
Tuesday, generally under 1000 J/kg along with weak shear profile,
so severe weather threat will be lower. Temperatures will remain
in the upper 60s and lower 70s across lower elevations. Will keep
the likely PoPs going through Tuesday given the high moisture
levels.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Monday)
Issued at 230 PM MDT Mon Jun 17 2019

A shortwave trough axis will push across the area Tuesday night to
usher in drier air in northwesterly flow aloft. This will bring
gusty downslope winds to the foothills and nearby urban corridor,
keeping temperatures moderated.

A shortwave upper ridge will bring warmer and drier weather to
the area ahead of the next system dropping into the Pacific
Northwest. PWATs will be about one to two tenths drier compared to
the last two days, with values in the 0.5 inch range over the
mountains, 0.75 inch over the urban corridor and up around an inch
over the far northeastern corner of the state. Showers and weak
storms will be isolated to scattered in coverage, with gusty winds
and small hail the main impacts. Minimum temperatures will be
relatively warm overnight with a continued surface trough to the
lee of the mountains.

An upper low will travel east along the US/Canadian border
extending a trough into the Great Basin Thursday and Friday. Flow
aloft will turn flow more westerly Thursday before more
southwesterly Thursday night into Friday as a jet pushes down
across the northern Rockies. After the warm night, Thursdays
temperatures will likely be the warmest, with readings in the low
80s over the plains, and in the upper 50s to lower 70s over the
high country. Lift from the jet and low level moisture moving
north from the southern Great Plains into the surface lee low will
bring a higher chance for thunderstorms, especially near the
northern border. High values of shear will allow some of these
storms to have the chance to become severe each afternoon and
evening. Friday night, a cold front will drop south across the
area.

The upper trough will slowly transition across the forecast area
this weekend with cooler temperatures and daily showers and
thunderstorms, keeping our area green well into the month of June.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday afternoon)
Issued at 230 PM MDT Mon Jun 17 2019

Expect first round of showers and storms to move across the
terminals between 21-23z with heavy rain, small hail and gusty
winds. Could see ILS approaches with the stronger storms. With
multiple disturbances may see another round of storms this
evening. Expect a repeat performance of stratus and patchy fog
later tonight as additional pushes back west from the evening
convection. More storms expected on Tuesday afternoon with rather
deep moisture in place but stability will be more marginal.

...Severe thunderstorms possible over the Northeast plains of
Colorado this afternoon and evening...

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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Showers and thunderstorms will develop over the mountains and
foothills around the noon hour, and then spread eastward across
the Interstate 25 corridor and adjacent areas between 1 and 3 pm.
Storms will then move across the rest of the northeast plains
through late afternoon and evening.

There will be a slight risk of severe thunderstorms over the
northeast plains this afternoon and evening. Large hail up to 2
inches, heavy rain and damaging wind in excess of 60 mph will be
the main threats. The greatest severe threat will be along and
east of a line from around Greeley to Byers to Monument. Locally
heavy rainfall could produce urban and small stream flooding as
well.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday

Tuesday will be another convective day but with weaker
thunderstorms expected due to cooler temperatures. The storms will
have the potential to produce gusty winds, small hail, but more
are expected to produce heavy rainfall. The threat of flooding
looks lower however due to weaker storms.

Wednesday will be warmer and drier, with Thursday and Friday
seeing a return to more convection especially near the northern
state border. For this weekend, a continued pattern of diurnal
thunderstorms each day will occur with temperatures below normal
under the influence of an upper trough pushing into the region.
There will be a risk of severe storms as the jet ahead of the
trough spreads over the area.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation may be needed after 1 pm this afternoon across
the northeast plains of Colorado, especially east of the
Interstate 25 corridor.
