Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Denver/Boulder CO
340 PM MDT Sun Aug 11 2019

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday)
Issued at 252 PM MDT Sun Aug 11 2019

Strong to severe thunderstorms are ongoing across the eastern
plains this afternoon. The best threat for severe storms will be
along and north of a boundary that is currently across southern
Washington to eastern Arapahoe Counties due to better instability
and shear there. Dew points are in the upper 60s to low 70s across
Logan, Sedgwick and Phillips Counties and precipitable water
values are near 1.5 inches so heavy rain and flooding are
possible there. The storms will move east of our CWA by around
midnight tonight with near normal low temperatures.

NVA behind a departing trough along with a low level high
pressure center moving over the area tomorrow will dry things out.
The only chance for showers and storms will be over the high
country mainly south of I-70 and the Palmer Divide. Northwesterly
winds will increase during the late morning with sustained winds
between 10-20 mph, highest across the Cheyenne Ridge. With
minimum relative humidities reaching as low as 15 percent over
Weld and Larimer Counties, there will be elevated fire weather
conditions. However, a red flag warning will not be needed due to
the moisture in the ground from recent storms. Otherwise, highs
will generally be near or slightly below normal.

.LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday)
Issued at 335 PM MDT Sun Aug 11 2019

Models have a flat upper ridge Monday night building back up a
bit west of out CWA late Tuesday through Wednesday night. The flow
aloft will be southwesterly Monday night, then westerly on
Tuesday into Tuesday evening, then northwesterly later Tuesday
night through Wednesday night. There is weak downward synoptic
scale energy progged for the CWA on the QG Omega fields Monday
night through Wednesday evening. The boundary layer winds should
adhere to normal diurnal trends all five periods. For moisture,
precipitable water values generally range from 0.50 over the
western plains to about 1.0 over the far east. So it dries
somewhat compared to of late. There is some CAPE around through
the periods. Values are fairly significant over the far northeast
corner late day Tuesday and late day Wednesday. The basic trend
for the forecast will be drier conditions, less pops and
temperatures right around normals. For temperatures. highs on
Tuesday will be similar to Monday's. Wednesday's readings warm up
1-2 C from Tuesday's highs. For the later days, Thursday through
Sunday, models have the upper ridge over Colorado flattening on
Thursday. A fairly decent upper trough/closed low moves into the
northwestern United State Thursday night into Saturday. A flat
upper ridge is still around for the CWA through Sunday, with the
flow aloft to be west-southwesterly. Moisture is not great all
four days. Temperatures may be a tad above seasonal normals Friday
through Sunday.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon)
Issued at 252 PM MDT Sun Aug 11 2019

A westerly push from the outflow of showers over the foothills
has moved across the airport this afternoon. Additional storms and
outflow boundaries will develop this afternoon with strong wind
gusts being the main concern the airports. Storms may lower
ceilings and visibilities to IFR temporarily as well. Winds will
turn southerly this evening and before trending toward drainage
tonight.

Northerly winds will increase during the late morning tomorrow as
conditions should remain dry at the airports.
