Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cheyenne WY
203 PM MDT Fri Jun 7 2019

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday)
Issued at 202 PM MDT Fri Jun 7 2019

Widely scattered showers and tstms over mainly se Wy currently
with a couple stronger storms noted. Decent instabilities
generally of 1000-1500 J/kg will maintain these but shear rather
low so storm expected to be pulsey in nature. Activity will
diminish this evening as a weak impulse lifts northeast of the
area and instability wanes.

Pretty good cold front will pass across the CWA later tonight into
Saturday morning. Some post-frontal showers and maybe a few storms
possible saturday afternoon and evening but better instability
looks to be shunted to the south across Colorado. Main upper
trough axis passes across early Sunday with a cool surface high
settling over the area. Pretty chilly temperatures expected Sunday
morning especially over the western valleys.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Friday)
Issued at 202 PM MDT Fri Jun 7 2019

Monday...Looks dry with limited low and mid level moisture and lift.
Decent warming trend begins based on 700 mb temperatures near
5 Celsius.

Tuesday...With slightly better low and mid level moisture, we should
see a slight increase in afternoon and evening shower and
thunderstorm coverage, mainly east of Interstate 25.

Wednesday...More ridging aloft will likely produce a dry day with
the lack of lift.

Thursday...Temperatures continue to rise as a ridge aloft moves
overhead with 700 mb temperatures near 13 Celsius. Enough low and
mid level moisture for a chance of afternoon and evening showers and
thunderstorms, mainly from Laramie to Wheatland to Cheyenne.

Friday...With troughiness aloft and enough low and mid level
moisture, expect a general increase in afternoon and evening shower
and thunderstorm coverage. Slow warming trend continues based on 700
mb temperatures.

Issued at 249 AM MDT Fri Jun 7 2019

Rivers and streams west of the Laramie Range will slowly rise over
the next 24-48 hours, but all forecast points are expected to stay
below flood stage. Much cooler temperatures this weekend will lead
to slower mountain snow melt and ease near-term flooding concerns.
