Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Denver/Boulder CO
325 PM MDT Thu Jul 9 2020

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday)
Issued at 325 PM MDT Thu Jul 9 2020

Main focus for late this afternoon and evening will continue to be
the potential for severe thunderstorms. The frontal boundary
continues to shift more westward than the models initially had it,
with dewpoints over northeast Weld County in the low 60s early
this afternoon. Latest HRRR has initiated the developing
thunderstorms a little further west, over northwest Weld County by
early this evening. Will adjust the pops accordingly. MLCAPES
around 1700 j/kg at that time, with favorable shear as well. Best
window in the 00-03z period this evening. Diminishing pops by
late evening, but could see some patchy fog over the northeast
plains late tonight. For Friday, dry and stable with temperatures
back near 100. Fire danger will be elevated with dry fuels, single
digit rh's and gusty winds primarily in the high mountain
valleys, and along the northern border areas. Reference the fire
weather discussion below.

.LONG TERM...(Friday night through Thursday)
Issued at 325 PM MDT Thu Jul 9 2020

Through the weekend, hot weather will continue as the strong upper
level ridge remains in place over the southwestern United States.
700 mb temperatures are forecast to reach the mid and upper teens
Celcius through the weekend, implying surface temperatures on the
plains well into the 90s and approaching 100. Sunday looks to be
the warmest day of the weekend, where even Denver has a shot at
the 100 degree mark. Temperatures at the mid-levels will be so
warm that the airmass will remain capped, and convective shower
development will be minimal. Skies should remain sunny both days
except for some fair weather cumulus that develops over the
mountains each afternoon. The warm temperatures will lead to
afternoon humidities dropping into the teens, but pressure
gradients should remain weak, leading to only light winds.
Although Fire Danger levels will be high, the threat of dangerous
fire growth will be limited by the light winds.

From Sunday night through next week, the medium range models begin
moving sub-tropical moisture into the state from the southwest.
The center of the upper level ridge is also forecast to progress
eastward to a position over the southeast United States. This will
allow for more southerly flow aloft which will contain the
increasing moisture levels. Temperatures will remain very warm,
but afternoons will begin seeing more thunderstorm activity
develop. For the time being the forecasts will mention a slight
chance of thunderstorms during the afternoons and evenings. Areas
that receive precipitation will see some cooling, but overall the
airmass over the state will remain warm. which will keep the
streak of 90 degree days on the plains going. As the week
progresses, we will need to keep an eye out for locally heavy
rain from the storms that begin developing. All in all, a pretty
typical summerlike pattern for Colorado.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Friday afternoon)
Issued at 325 PM MDT Thu Jul 9 2020

VFR conditions are expected through the period. Gusty
east/northeast winds until 01z then southeasterly through 06z,
then normal drainage by 08z. No thunderstorms expected at the
terminals but storm activity could impact primarily the northeast
approach gates 00z-03z this evening. Patchy fog may develop over
the northeast plains late tonight, but it should remain north and
east of Denver.

&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 325 PM MDT Thu Jul 9 2020

Best combination of gusty winds, low rh and dry fuels will be in
North, Middle and South Parks, the northern Front Range Foothills
and Cheyenne Ridge Friday afternoon. Consequently, a Red Flag
Warning has been issued for these areas. This could be expanded
if winds in the other zones pick up.
