AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND JUNCTION CO
314 PM MDT SAT JUN 25 2005
.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)...
A POTENT SHORTWAVE IS CURRENTLY MOVING EAST ACROSS THE WESTERN GREAT
BASIN WITH AN UPPER JET MAXIMUM OVER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA APPROACHING
UTAH. INCREASED SYNOPTIC SCALE FORCING AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM
COMBINED WITH AFTERNOON HEATING AND INSTABILITY RESULTING IN
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. A FEW STRONG STORMS EXPECTED
WITH THE MAIN CONCERN THROUGH THIS EVENING BEING THE POTENTIAL FOR
DEEP MIXING AND DRIER AIR NEAR THE SURFACE PRODUCING SOME DAMAGING
WINDS. EASTERN UTAH AND FAR NORTHWEST COLORADO APPEAR TO BE
AREAS UNDER GREATEST THREAT FOR STRONG STORMS.
THE SHORTWAVE WILL WEAKEN AND MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE
FORECAST AREA TONIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING. ENOUGH INSTABILITY AND
FORCING ACROSS THE AREA TO SUPPORT NOCTURNAL CONVECTION WITH HIGHEST
AREAL COVERAGE ACROSS THE NORTH. POTENTIAL FOR SOME STRONG STORMS
LATE TONIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING WITH INCREASED SHEAR OVER THE AREA.
MODELS SHOWING SOME DRIER MID LEVEL AIR ADVECTING TOWARD THE FORECAST
AREA LATE SUNDAY AND MONDAY. EVEN WITH SOME MID LEVEL DRYING THERE
SHOULD BE ENOUGH RESIDUAL MOISTURE AROUND TO POP SOME DAYTIME
THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE HIGH TERRAIN. SOUTHWEST FLOW TO REMAIN OVER
THE AREA AS WELL WITH A FEW SUBTLE WAVES EMBEDDED IN THE FLOW A GOOD
BET WHICH MAY AID IN FORCING. TEMPERATURE FORECAST CONTINUES TO BE
CLOSE TO PERSISTENCE. LINDQUIST
.LONG TERM (MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)...NOT MUCH CHANGE TO
PREVIOUS FORECAST AS MODELS HAVE NOT DEVIATED MUCH FROM PREVIOUS RUN
AND LONG WAVE PATTERN APPEARS TO BE RATHER STABLE. WILL LIKELY BE
DEALING WITH DIURNAL CONVECTION THROUGH AT LEAST WEDNESDAY...WITH
EMBEDDED IMPULSES IN THE FLOW. GFS DOES BRING INLAND A CLOSED LOW
ACROSS CA AND MAINTAINS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF ENERGY AS IT OPENS UP
AND MOVES INTO UT ON WED NIGHT AND THU. DO NOT HAVE A LOT OF
CONFIDENCE IN TIMING AND INTENSITY OF SUCH A SMALL SCALE FEATURE SO
FAR OUT INTO THE FUTURE...AND WILL THEREFORE NOT YET PLAY UP ANY
SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN POTENTIAL FOR CONVECTION IN OUR CWA FOR WED
NIGHT AND THU. HOWEVER...IT MUST BE CONSIDERED A POSSIBILITY FOR
INCLUSION IN LATER FORECASTS.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...VERY WARM TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO MELT OUT MUCH OF
THE REMAINING HIGH ELEVATION SNOWPACK. THE UINTA MOUNTAINS OF
NORTHEAST UTAH HAVE THE HIGHEST REMAINING AMOUNTS LEFT TO MELT...AND
WILL KEEP THE DUCHESNE RIVER IN UINTAH COUNTY IN FLOOD CONDITION OVER
THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
&&
.GJT WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
.CO...NONE.
.UT...FLOOD WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE FOR THE DUCHESNE
RIVER NEAR RANDLETT.
...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 523 IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM FOR GRAND...
UINTAH...AND DAGGETT COUNTIES.
