Area forecast discussion, Jul 29, 8:30 PM MDT, 2 hours 57 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Cheyenne WY 830 PM MDT Mon Jul 29 2019 .UPDATE... Issued at 823 PM MDT Mon Jul 29 2019 Quick grid update mainly for fire weather. The Red Flag Warning for this evening has expired as fire weather conditions have calmed down. Humidities will start to recover later tonight in the 40 to 50% range before decreasing again tomorrow mid morning. Went ahead and issued the Red Flag Warning upgrade from the Fire Weather Watch for tomorrow. Winds look a little bit stronger based on the latest runs from the HRRR and NBM. The widespread red flag conditions in zone 304 today should verify easily for tomorrow. For the rest of tonight, cooler temperatures with lows in the 50s and 60s are expected along with some high clouds. Westerly flow aloft will help dry things out a bit tomorrow with just isolated thunderstorm activity possible east of the laramie range in the afternoon. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday night) Issued at 225 PM MDT Mon Jul 29 2019 Some convection firing over eastern Converse county attm and expect this activity to increase a bit more the rest of the afternoon as it moves eastward. A few strong storms possible with strong wind gusts looking the main threat. This in response to a weak impulse riding over the top of the 4 corners upper high. Activity should move across mainly the northern Neb Panhandle into this evening with otherwise quiet weather expected elsewhere the rest of the night. Similar setup on Tuesday but the upper high looks to strengthen a bit over the area with convection looking more confined to the mtns near the Colorado border Tuesday afternoon as some warming at mid levels hinder development. Temperatures remaining quite warm across the CWA Tuesday with maxs in the mid 80s to mid 90s outside of the mtns. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday) Issued at 225 PM MDT Mon Jul 29 2019 Monsoonal moisture should begin returning more in earnest Weds and persist through the weekend as the upper high meanders around the 4 corners area. This will bring back pretty much daily chances for mainly afternoon and evening showers and tstms to the CWA, currently looking most widespread on Thursday and Friday as a push of cooler air moves down the high plains. Temps rebound a bit over the weekend but remaining close to seasonal averages. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Tuesday evening) Issued at 538 PM MDT Mon Jul 29 2019 Most terminals will remain VFR today and tonight as a strong are of high pressure settles in to the west. Low level moisture and thunderstorms will push east later tonight with only a very low chance of IFR conditions mainly across the panhandle. SCT to BKN high level clouds will develop tomorrow keeping conditions VFR at all terminals. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 225 PM MDT Mon Jul 29 2019 Critical or near-critical Fire Weather conditions will continue over mainly southwest Carbon county into this evening, and likely develop again Tuesday afternoon due to gusty winds and dry air. Moisture will then increase over the region Wednesday with showers and storms becoming more likely Wednesday and especially Thursday, with cooler temperatures also helping to alleviate concerns then. && .CYS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
