RJKWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Denver/Boulder, CO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 8, 2:42 PM MDT, 1 hour 53 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 8, 2:42 PM MDT, 1 hour 53 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Denver/Boulder CO 242 PM MDT Sat Jun 8 2019 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday) Issued at 242 PM MDT Sat Jun 8 2019 The cold front is just about south of our area now, with temperatures dropping a little. The stronger winds with gusts to 30 mph or so have also arrived. Stratus immediately behind the front dissipated with the daytime heating, but this should reform later tonight. As expected, the stronger thunderstorms are developing on the front east of our area, but there is weaker convection developing where the winds are interacting with the warmer terrain on the east slopes of the Front Range. These showers should continue to develop and spread southward through the evening, then diminish later tonight. It still looks like there may be a period this evening where there is jet support for more widespread shower activity, but after that we're left with just the shallow moisture layer, so we may wind up just having the stratus deck without much precip late tonight into Saturday. For Saturday, there's some question about how quickly the stratus will dissipate. The cold air if fairly deep with a sharp inversion, which will limit the amount of mixing and the impact it has on the cloud deck. At this point, we'll plan on decent clearing during the afternoon which would allow the temperatures to get up to around 60 on the plains. This is similar to what happened in central Wyoming today. If the clouds are more persistent, this may still be too warm. We'll hang on to a chance of showers mainly over the east side of the mountains south of I-70 in the afternoon, but there may not be enough moisture above the stable layer to support this. .LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Saturday) Issued at 242 PM MDT Sat Jun 8 2019 A drier and relatively stable northwesterly flow aloft will be over the forecast area for Monday and Tuesday. Little in the way of qpf Sunday night through Tuesday afternoon. A weak upper level disturbance embedded in the flow aloft is progged to clip the northeast plains Monday evening, but it should still be too far north and east to impact the northeast plains. A moderate northwesterly flow aloft will be over the area Tuesday afternoon, with possibly enough moisture to trigger isolated thunderstorms in the afternoon/early evening. Wednesday through Thursday, the flow aloft will be more westerly with slightly warmer temperatures expected. Overall coverage of thunderstorms each afternoon/evening will be isolated to scattered, with the best chance over the mountains. Another weak disturbance may move across northern CO Thursday night into Friday, so precipitation coverage may be more widespread over the cwa at that time. The pattern persists into next weekend, with a weak trough producing a fairly moist westerly flow aloft. This will result in higher pops over much of the forecast area at that time. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday afternoon) Issued at 242 PM MDT Sat Jun 8 2019 Northeast winds gusting to 20-30 knots will continue into this evening, diminishing to less than 20 knots by 06z. MVFR ceilings will develop around 00z-02z along with scattered rain showers. These conditions will continue into Sunday morning, with showers decreasing by then. Expect lifting ceilings Sunday morning, above 3000 feet by 17z, with clouds breaking up between 19z and 22z. && .BOU WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
