Area forecast discussion, Jun 7, 2:03 PM MDT, 1 minute before
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. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday afternoon) Issued at 1152 AM MDT Fri Jun 7 2019 Wyoming TAFS...VFR at Rawlins and Laramie with wind gusts to 38 knots until 01Z, and to 25 knots after 15Z Saturday. VFR at Cheyenne with a chance of thunderstorms from 20Z to 01Z. Wind gusts to 25 knots until 01Z. Nebraska TAFS...VFR, with a chance of thunderstorms from 21Z to 02Z producing localized MVFR.

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. && .CYS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WY...None.
