AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHEYENNE WY
228 PM MDT TUE JUN 7 2005
.SHORT TERM...SURFACE LOW DEVELOPING OVER CENTRAL WYOMING AT MID
AFTERNOON WAS FURTHER WEST THAN MODEL PROJECTIONS. THE FEATURE WILL
MOVE EAST THROUGH TONIGHT AND WILL BRING A DEVELOPING COLD FRONT
ACROSS THE CWA THIS EVENING. A SHORTWAVE TROUGH CURRENTLY OVER THE
SOUTHWEST PART OF WYOMING WILL LIFT NORTHEAST AS WELL TONIGHT. THE
LIFT...SHEAR AND BUOYANCY IN THE NORTHERN PART OF THE CWA APPEAR TO
BE FAVORABLE FOR STRONG THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE EVENING. HAIL AND
STRONG WIND GUSTS ARE THE MAIN THREAT...WITH EVEN TORNADIC STORMS
POSSIBLE DUE TO THE 0 TO 3 KM SHEAR. WITH THE COLD AIR ADVECTION
BEHIND THE FRONT THE WEST WINDS WILL INCREASE. WITH THE 20Z SURFACE
PRESSURE RISES UPSTREAM OF 3MB AND 700 MB WINDS UP TO 45 MPH BELIEVE
THAT THE WINDS IN MOST PLACES SHOULD REMAIN BELOW HIGH WIND CRITERIA
LEVELS. WILL CANCEL THE PREVIOUSLY ISSUED HIGH WIND WATCH FOR THE
LARAMIE RANGE AND PLATTE COUNTY...BUT KEEP WIND GUSTS TO AROUND 50
MPH. OF COURSE THE WINDS WILL BE ENHANCED BY CONVECTION...AT LEAST
FROM THE LARAMIE RANGE WESTWARD...WITH KRWL REPORTING A GUST TO 49
KNOTS SHORTLY AFTER 20Z. CLEARING SHOULD TAKE PLACE WITH THE FRONT
AND SHORTWAVE TROUGH PASSAGE. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES INCREASE
OVER THE AREA FROM THE LARAMIE RANGE TO SOUTH OF A KEAN TO KBPT LINE
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. RISK OF SEVERE DOES NOT LOOK AS GREAT AS THAT
OF THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...BUT WILL BUMP UP POPS SOME IN THAT
AREA. TEMPERATURES IN MOST AREAS WILL BE SIMILAR TO A BIT COOLER
ON WEDNESDAY THAN THAT OF TODAY.
.LONG TERM...WED NIGHT...LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE BOUNDARY SETS UP TO
THE LEE OF THE LARAMIE RANGE THUS EXPECT SCATTERED TSTMS TO CONTINUE
MUCH OF THE NIGHT...MOST NUMEROUS FROM I-25 EASTWARD.
THU...SW FLOW ALOFT CONTINUES. WITH ADEQUATE MOISTURE AND
INSTABILITY ALONG WITH LOW LEVEL MECHANICAL LIFT EAST OF THE
MTNS...EXPECT SCATTERED AFTERNOON/EVENING TSTMS. RELATIVELY COOL DAY
WITH CLOUD COVER.
THU NIGHT/FRI...ANOTHER SHORTWAVE TROUGH APPROACHES. LOW/MID LEVELS
SATURATE QUITE NICELY PER NAM/GFS SOLUTIONS...THUS EXPECT
SHOWERS/TSTMS TO BECOME FAIRLY WIDESPREAD. WITH COOL LOW
LEVELS...SHOWERS WILL BE MORE NUMEROUS THAN TSTMS. IF THE MODELS
VERIFY ...HIGHS WILL STRUGGLE TO REACH THE 60S EAST OF THE LARAMIE
RANGE...WELL BELOW MEX MOS GUIDANCE HIGHS. WILL UNDERCUT GUIDANCE
HIGHS FOR NOW. LATER SHIFTS WILL LIKELY NEED TO LOWER MAXIMA.
SAT/SUN...12/12Z GFS RUN SHOWING IMPRESSIVE UPPER TROUGH MOVING
ACROSS WHICH WILL KEEP OUR WEATHER COOL AND UNSETTLED. WILL MAINTAIN
CURRENT MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE FORECAST...ALTHOUGH IF GFS VERIFIES
...HIGHS WILL BE COOLER. CHANCE OF AFTERNOON/EVENING TSTMS LOOKS
WARRANTED.
MON/TUE...DRYING AND WARMING TREND AS THE FLOW ALOFT BECOMES ZONAL
AND LOW/MID LEVEL MOISTURE DECREASES. EXPECT HIGH TEMPERATURES BACK
NEAR NORMAL BASED ON PROGGED 850 MB TEMPERATURES. RUBIN
