.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday)
Issued at 159 PM MDT Thu Jul 22 2021

Latest water vapor loop was showing the monsoonal flow continuing
to affect much of Wyoming with isolated showers and thunderstorms
continuing to affect areas mainly along and west of the Laramie
Range. The heaviest shower was located between mile markers 280
and 285 with rainfall rates of 2 to 3 inches per hour. However,
these showers are very short lived, so would not anticipate any
flash flooding, but it will certainly cause some pooling and
hydroplaning on the roadways. The showers and isolated
thunderstorms should begin to diminish as the evening wears on.
However, there is a shortwave that will translate east across the
Canadian Providences tonight and Friday. This shortwave will drag
a weak frontal boundary through the area late tonight into early
Friday evening. This boundary may cause some isolated showers and
thunderstorms to develop after midnight mainly west of Douglas to
Arlington area.

On Friday, the mid level wind speeds pick up a bit in the
500-300mb layer across the Niobrara, Sioux and Dawes counties.
This may enhance the shear in that region on Friday afternoon for
any storm that does develop. SPC has even highlighted that region
for a Marginal Risk with the main threats being hail and gusty
winds. Otherwise, the main issue will continue to be slow moving
thunderstorms with high Precipitable Water values (1-1.25inches).This
front is progged to move out of the southern Nebraska panhandle
Friday evening. Therefore, the thunderstorm threat should diminish
across the southern panhandle by midnight.

.LONG TERM...(Friday night through Thursday)
Issued at 159 PM MDT Thu Jul 22 2021

Above normal temperatures will continue into this weekend and
early next week as an upper level ridge begins to expand across
much of the central CONUS. Daily chances of showers and
thunderstorms looks to continue this weekend with potentially a
break Monday and Tuesday before returning by midweek. Storms will
mainly be confined to the higher terrain under the rather weak
flow regime. Latest model runs have slowed down the Pacific wave
that would try to break up this current pattern late next week and
therefore elongate this warm stretch across the region.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday evening)
Issued at 505 PM MDT Thu Jul 22 2021

Will continue the VCTS wording in the 00Z TAFs for all airports as
storms are popping up just about everywhere late this afternoon.
Nothing severe with these storms...just brief heavy rain. Look for
a decrease in TStm coverage after 02Z or so. Will be a repeat for
Friday afternoon.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 159 PM MDT Thu Jul 22 2021

The upper level ridge will continue to dominate the area through
the weekend. As a result, we will continue to see low afternoon
humidities (15-25 percent). This will result in some high mixing
heights (8-12kft), but due to the influence of the upper level
ridge wind speeds will continue to be 10kts or less. Modest
humidity recoveries are expected at night as well.
