Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cheyenne WY
155 PM MDT Sun Jul 19 2020

.SHORT TERM...(This afternoon - Tuesday Night)
Issued at 113 PM MDT Sun Jul 19 2020

Isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop
across areas mainly along/east of the Laramie Range by mid to late
afternoon. Significant uncertainty exists with storm coverage over
the next several hours, mainly because of weak large scale forcing
with the primary mechanism being a stationary front draped from N-
S along the Laramie Range. Cumulus development has been limited so
far per afternoon visible satellite imagery, but excellent low-lvl
moisture transport is occurring with moist southeasterly flow over
the Platte River Valley contributing to dew points approaching 65F
at Torrington & Scottsbluff. We are likely a bit delayed for CI as
low-level cloud cover stuck around over the Neb Panhandle into the
late morning hours, but would expect initiation to occur by 21z as
convective temperatures are reached. The main area of interest may
be the central Laramie Range into the Platte River Valley with the
help of enhanced low-level convergence associated w/ the Chugwater
cyclone. Further south toward the CO border, a dryline bulge takes
shape just south of the surface low which may be another focus for
initiation in the next few hours. Any storms that develop over the
next few hours will be capable of all modes of severe weather. SPC
Mesoanalysis shows upwards of 2500 J/kg SBCAPEs in the warm sector
with 30+ knots of effective bulk shear. CAPEs also approach 800 J/
kg in the -10 to -30 deg C layer, further supporting potential for
large hail especially w/ any supercell structures. Backed near-sfc
flow is also contributing to curved low-level hodographs, possibly
supporting isolated tornado potential given fairly low LCLs around
1250 meters. This threat would be enhanced with any cell splits or
right movers. Storms may merge into one more linear complexes this
evening into late tonight as the low-level jet strengthens.

Daily chances for strong to severe thunderstorms will exist along/
east of the Laramie Range each afternoon through Tuesday given the
stationary boundary remaining in place.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday - Sunday)
Issued at 300 AM MDT Sun Jul 19 2020

Upper level ridging still looks to be on track for the remainder
of the week from Wednesday onward. Model guidance still showing
agreement with warm air advection continually making the area warm
with southwest flow in the lower levels creating daytime maximum
700mb temps 14C-18C. While atmospheric ridging aloft continues
over the region, that certainly won't discount the opportunity for
moisture to be on slightly elevated over the area. Split flow at
the H5 and H3 levels show a cut off low near the California
coastline and more impressive height falls to the Pacific
Northwest associated with a upper level trough. The split flow
regime will continue from Wednesday to the weekend, allowing the
best energy to stay further to the north based off medium to long
range guidance. However, with the cut off low slowly propagating
to the east and northeast aloft, it will eventually be absorbed
into a more defined upper level trough at the 300mb level by 0Z
Saturday. With diffluent flow aloft, the possibility of
thunderstorm activity on the increase would need additional
surface moisture plumes from the continental region of Mexico,
Pacific Ocean moisture, and/or the Gulf of Mexico. Surface
convergence and instability look plausible from the model
guidance, however the most recent models are showing a slightly
more eastward surface High compared to the previous day. If our
area is to receive much needed rainfall across the region, this
more eastward track of the surface High pressure across the
central CONUS is a less favorable trend for our CWA in regard to
rainfall. Overall, monsoon flow will begin to approach the area
towards the end of the week, but we are not in the most favorable
pattern for continued impulses of moisture. This is represent with
PoPs up to 40 percent in the extended forecast package as of this
time. With the upper level ridging staying put, we can expect
temperatures to be warm the next week or so, with little relief of
cooler temperatures on the horizon.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon)
Issued at 1140 AM MDT Sun Jul 19 2020

Latest GOES-E satellite shows a swath of MVFR CIGS from Cheyenne
County northward across the NE Panhandle. Should see continued
diminishment over the early afternoon hours. This afternoon will
see isolated showers and thunderstorms, some severe from KCYS
eastward with development from the south to the north as the
afternoon and evening progress. Overnight period will see low CIGS
and VIS return to the NE Panhandle so continued downward trend in
conditions though depending on how late convection continues into
the overnight, the deterioration of conditions may be delayed for
some sites.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 300 AM MDT Sun Jul 19 2020

Stationary front lays along a line from Riverton to Rawlins to
Craig Colorado this morning. The front will meander a little to
the east today to near the Laramie Range this afternoon. East of
the front...east to southeast upslope winds will keep humidity
high and provide chances for afternoon and evening showers and
thunderstorms. West of the front...drier and breezier conditions
will exist over the next several days. Monsoonal moisture will
interact with the front for good chances of wetting rains from the
Laramie Range east into the Panhandle through the upcoming week.
Fire weather concerns expected to be minimal.
