.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday)
Issued at 300 PM MDT Fri Sep 6 2019

The Stratus has dissipated across the plains at this time.
Convection is developed over the high country with one main
storm now over Jefferson County. Models show an upper trough,
mainly north of the CWA, to move east overnight and Saturday. The
upper ridge flattens as a result. The flow aloft is west-
southwesterly over night, then westerly on Saturday. There is
weak upward motion on the QG Omega fields for the CWA tonight,
then weak downward energy on Saturday. The low level winds should
be pretty normal drainage patterns overnight. On Saturday, they
are all over the place, but are generally weak upsloping by
afternoon. For moisture, the precipitable water values are in 0.75
to 1.35 inches this evening. By Saturday, they dry out somewhat
into the 0.50 to 1.00 inch range by Saturday afternoon. The dew
point temperatures are in the 50s to lower 60s this evening, then
they decrease into the 40s to lower 50s F by Saturday afternoon.
The latest Acars soundings show CAPE values around 1500 J/kg with
85/59 F. For pops, will go with 20-50%s this evening, a bit
linger overnight. On Saturday will drop pops somewhat across the
CWA. For temperatures, Saturday highs look to be 1-3 C warmer than
this afternoon's highs.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Friday)
Issued at 235 PM MDT Fri Sep 6 2019

A shortwave will pass north of Colorado Saturday night and Sunday
with the associated lift and front late in the day Sunday.

Low levels ahead of this trough will be fairly dry over most of
the area Saturday evening, with soundings showing DCAPE values of
1,500 J/kg which indicates the potential for downbursts across
the plains. Thunderstorms will dissipate as they move east
Saturday evening into the drier more stable air. Moisture will
increase Sunday as specific humidity levels will rise above 6.0
g/kg over the plains and precipitable water will reach 1.25
inches. Steady storm motion of at least 15 knots and the moving
upper level trough driving the convection will limit the duration
of storms and should keep the flooding threat low. However, a line
of organized storms could produce a period of heavy rain as it
passes.

A shortwave trough will then rotate around the upper level low
off the southwest Canadian coast, passing from the western U.S.
across Colorado near midweek.

On Monday drier air will move in from the southwest behind the
ridge. Tuesday through Thursday there will be a slight increase in
moisture leading to isolated storms Tuesday and a better chance of
storms on Wednesday and possibly Thursday across the forecast
area as the next trough approaches. A front is expected to move
through Thursday afternoon bringing gusty winds to 25 mph on the
northern plains. On Friday conditions will dry out again as a weak
ridge brings more westerly flow. There's some discrepancy in
temperature forecasts this week, but highs should generally be in
the 80s on the plains. Some solutions would have us creeping back
into the 90s ahead of the midweek trough. It may cool into the 70s
behind the trough if this system connects well with the cooler air
to our north, but this varies from run to run.

Humidities will also be low with some wind behind the trough on
Monday, then it will still be dry with less wind on Tuesday. At
this time it does not look like widespread Red Flag conditions,
but we will be back to an environment where conditions are close
to the criteria in the afternoons, especially over the mountain
valleys.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday afternoon)
Issued at 300 PM MDT Fri Sep 6 2019

Southeasterlies are expected to continue at DIA into this
evening, before normal drainage patterns commence by 06Z. DIA
could see some BKN040-050 along with -TSRA from 23Z to 02Z late
this afternoon/evening.

...Brief Landspout Tornadoes Possible...

At 340 PM MDT, conditions are becoming favorable for the development
of landspout tornadoes in and close to the I 25 between Greenwodd
Village and Castle Rock. However, at this time it is unknown which
if any storm would produce a landspout. Any landspouts which develop
are expected to pose a limited threat.

Locations impacted include...
Southern Denver, southwestern Aurora, Centennial, eastern Highlands
Ranch, Castle Rock, Parker, Greenwood Village, Lone Tree, Castle
Pines, Sedalia and The Pinery.

Landspout tornadoes can form with a developing thunderstorm before
rain, hail, and even thunder is observed. Landspout tornadoes are not
usually associated with a wall cloud and are often difficult to
detect with weather radar.
