.DISCUSSION...

DAYS 1-2...
RUC THIS MORNING APPEARING TO HAVE A SLIGHT EDGE ON UPPER S/W
TROF ASSOC W/ LEFT ENTRANCE REGION OF 25H JET STREAK WHICH WAS
LOCATED OVER S/SW CO AT 12Z TUES. FOLLOWING THE RUC SOLUTION
YIELDS CONVECTION DEVELOPING ALONG LEE TROF AFTER 21Z...THEN MUCH
LIKE LAST NIGHT MOVING EAST AS PROGGED WAA/LLJ DEVELOPS.

ON WEDNESDAY 5H RIDGE SLIDES EAST ACROSS THE TX PANHANDLE INTO OK
AS NAM/GFS/UKMET ALL (TO VARIOUS DEGREES) MOVE ANOTHER 5H VORT
LOBE ACROSS SE CO. DESPITE WEAK FLOW ALOFT CONVECTION ONCE AGAIN
WILL BE POSSIBLE ALONG THE LEE TROF AND COLD FRONT WHICH WILL BE
NEAR OUR NRN CWA BY EVENING. SHEAR AND INSTAB APPEAR TO BE MORE
FAVORABLE TO OUR N/NW AS 925-85H WAA DEVELOPS IN THIS REGION WED
NIGHT BUT GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY OF LOCATION OF FRONT/TROF WILL
KEEP SMALL CHC POPS IN MY NORTH LATE WED-WED NIGHT. BASED ON EXPECTED
CLOUDS AND PCPN CHANCES WILL TRIM SEVERAL DEGREES OFF GUIDANCE
FOLLOWING MORE OF A 9H NAM/85H GFS MIX DOWN TEMP SOLUTION FOR WED.
GO WARMER ON THURSDAY BASED ON MORE CLOUDS AND SMALL CHC OF PCPN.

DAYS 3-7...
EXTENDED RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO BE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH MAIN
SYNOPTIC FEATURES EXPECTED.  DIGGING TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN U.S.
WILL HELP TO AMPLIFY RIDGE THAT WILL BE PASSING OVER CWA MIDWEEK AND
STALL OUT OVER THE EASTERN U.S. FOR THE DAYS 4-7 TIME FRAME.  THIS
WILL SETUP A SOUTH-SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW OVER THE CWA WITH WARM
TEMPERATURES CONTINUING.  SHOULD SEE HIGHS MAINLY IN THE LOWER 90S
AT LEAST UNTIL SATURDAY WITH SOME COOLER TEMPERATURES POSSIBLE FOR
END OF THE EXTENDED AS THE SOUTH-SOUTHWEST FLOW TAPS INTO SOME
SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE AND BRINGS BACK A CHANCE FOR RAIN TO THE AREA.
SHOULD STILL SEE HIGHS JUST A BIT ABOVE AVERAGE WITH HIGHS IN THE
MID TO UPPER 80S.  INCREASED DIGGING OF THE WESTERN U.S. TROUGH
THROUGH DAY 10 AND A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES HELPING TO BREAK DOWN
RIDGE WILL LEAD TO NEAR AVERAGE TEMPERATURES AND PRECIPITATION IN
THE 8-10 DAY PERIOD.
