Area Forecast Discussion

552 PM MDT Mon Aug 17 2020

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 215 PM MDT Mon Aug 17 2020

Latest visible/radar imagery was showing some convection
developing south of the Wyoming/Colorado border as of 2015z.
Meanwhile, there is some cumulus congestus over central and
eastern Laramie county, and the southern panhandle. Would not be
surprised if an isolated thunderstorm or two develops in this
region this afternoon and evening. Not anticipating anything to
become severe in this region, due to limited SBCAPE less than
500j/kgIn addition, there is some convection trying get going
along the Pine Ridge in the northern Panhandle and southern
Niobrara county. The Nebraska panhandle still stands a chance of
seeing a couple of severe storms this afternoon based on SBCAPE
around 500j/kg in the -10 to -30 deg C layer, and effective shear
values around 35kts. The bulk of these storms will move southeast
at around 10kts, unless it becomes enhanced by storm scale
dynamics and becomes altered, due to enhanced inflow. The rest of
the evening should be fairly quiet due to the influence of the
upper level ridge.

We will need to keep an eye tomorrow for the potential for subtle
shortwaves moving through the northwest flow regime. The NAM/GFS
are both hinting and some subtle speed maxes moving through
northeast Wyoming tomorrow afternoon. These speed maxes may induce
some some surface based wind shift across the northern panhandle
and Converse/Niobrara counties tomorrow afternoon. As a result, it
could trigger some more convection along the Pine Ridge. It may
also be a bit breezy as well. Therefore, we will need to keep
watch for near critical fire weather conditions. We will keep
most of the precip. chances on the northern fringes of the CWA
tomorrow. We may also see some isolated convection on Wednesday,
but not looking at any severe potential at this point, due to
limited SBCAPE.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday Night - Sunday)
Issued at 302 AM MDT Mon Aug 17 2020

Weather across the CWA will be dominated mainly by the upper high
which will remain over the desert southwest through the weekend.
A few impulses will ride over the top of the high and drop se over
the region Weds and Thursday and bring the best chances for some
afternoon and evening showers and storms. Friday through the
weekend looks to be drier with convection more isolated as the
upper high strengthens a bit and centers over the 4 corners area.
Temperatures remaining above seasonal averages with little changes
day to day.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Tuesday evening)
Issued at 539 PM MDT Mon Aug 17 2020

Thunderstorms are expected to continue until 02Z in the Nebraska
Panhandle and VCTS for KCYS but all TAF sites remain in VFR
conditions. Wind gust for KAIA, KCDR and KSNY is expected to be
strong reaching 45kts due to thunderstorms. Cloud bases trend from
SCT to FEW across our region reaching 15 thousand feet. Wind will
come down around 8kts for all TAF sites after the convection
leaves the area. KLAR may receive HZ around 09Z but confidence is
not high due to winds shifting north. This may reduce visibility
levels and will most likely be included in the next TAF.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 215 PM MDT Mon Aug 17 2020

Very low afternoon humidities will persist through the week under
the influence of the upper level ridge resulting in near critical
fire weather conditions. We are a little concerned about Fire
Weather Zone 301 reaching Red Flag conditions tomorrow, but this
will be highly dependent on cloud cover. The models are showing
some decent mixing during the early afternoon, especially with a
speed max moving through that region. Later shifts may need to
evaluate further for any Fire Weather Watch or Red Flag Warnings.
