Area forecast discussion, Aug 10, 9:33 AM MST, 4 hours 7 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND JUNCTION CO 1033 AM MDT WED AUG 10 2005 .DISCUSSION... MORNING GJT UPPER AIR SOUNDING SHOWING A VERY MOIST ATMOSPHERE IN PLACE WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER WELL OVER AN INCH AS THE MONSOON PATTERN CONTINUES ACROSS THE AREA. EXTENSIVE STRATIFORM CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION DOMINATING ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS MORNING AS A WEAK WAVE MOVES ACROSS THE AREA. BACK EDGE OF PERSISTENT RAIN EXTENDS FROM ABOUT RANGELY TO PALISADE WITH A LINE OF SHOWERS EXTENDING FURTHER SOUTH INTO EASTERN DOLORES COUNTY. THIS PRECIPITATION IS MOVING TO THE NORTHEAST AT 20 TO 25 MPH. MORNING CLOUDS AND RAIN WILL PLAY A STABILIZING ROLE AND SHOULD LIMIT THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN ZONES. RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF AN UPPER JET IS PROGGED TO PROVIDE SOME UPPER DIVERGENCE OVER NORTHEAST UTAH AND NORTHWEST COLORADO THIS AFTERNOON WHICH MAY HELP OVERCOME LACK OF INSOLATION EARLIER IN THE DAY AND AID IN STORM DEVELOP. CONCERNS FOR FLASH FLOODING EXIST DUE TO WEAK FLOW ALOFT AND DEEP MOISTURE. FEEL THAT AREAS NEAR THE FOUR CORNERS HAVE THE BEST CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS AND HEAVY RAIN DUE TO MORE SUN AND GREATER DESTABILIZATION THIS AFTERNOON. AFTERNOON POP GRIDS LOOK REASONABLE BASED ON CURRENT TRENDS. .GJT WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... .CO...NONE. .UT...NONE. && LINDQUIST
