Hail in Wyoming, June 7, 2005

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RIVERTON WY
250 AM MDT TUE JUN 7 2005

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...
UPPER LOW ALONG THE WASHINGTON COAST THIS MORNING WILL CONTINUE
TO BRING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE AREA THROUGH THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THESE SHOWERS SHOULD START OUT ALONG THE
WESTERN MOUNTAINS THIS MORNING AND MOVE NORTH AND EAST ACROSS OUR
AREA DURING THE AFTERNOON. MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN THE SHORT TERM
WITH MOVING THE UPPER LOW EAST AND INTO IDAHO WHERE IT THEN SITS AND
SPINS OVER THE AREA FOR THE NEXT DAY OR TWO. WEAK DISTURBANCES ROTATE
AROUND THIS LOW BRINGING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OFF AND ON INTO
THURSDAY. THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE IN THE MODELS IS THAT THE NAM WANTS
TO KEEP THE UPPER LOW OVER IDAHO LONGER AND INTO FRIDAY MORNING WHERE
THE GFS PUSHES IT TO THE NORTHEAST. THEY BOTH KEEP PRECIPITATION OVER
THE AREA UNTIL LATE THURSDAY SO WENT WITH MORE OF A BLEND BETWEEN THE
TWO. WILL STILL SEE WINDS BREEZY TO WINDY MAINLY DURING THE EARLY
MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOONS FOR THE FAVORED LOCATION UNTIL LATE
THURSDAY. WINDS SHOULD GET FAIRLY STRONG WITH GUST APPROACHING 55 MPH
IN THE SOUTHERN PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA BY THIS AFTERNOON. WILL
NEED TO WATCH THIS AREA FOR POSSIBLE HIGH WIND WARNING. TEMPERATURES
LOOK TO REMAIN BELOW NORMALS AS THIS UPPER LOW BRINGS IN COLD AIR
FROM THE NORTH.

.LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...
NOT A LOT OF CHANGE IN THE OVERALL WX PATTERN FROM LAST NT. THE MAIN
ISSUES ARE TIMING THE SHORTWAVES AND THE AMOUNT OF DIGGING THEY WILL
OR WILL NOT DO. HAVE MAINTAINED THE ISOLD POPS FOR FRI PM INTO FRI
NT. A LITTLE DEEPER TROF FOR SAT INTO SUN NOW WHICH WOULD BRING A
BETTER CHANCE OF PCPN BOTH DAYS ESPECIALLY TO THE MTS. ECMWF LOOKS
CLOSE TO GFSLR THRU SUNDAY NOW. WILL KEEP SUN NT/MON DRY FOR NOW BUT
IF WEEKEND TROF IS SLOWER THEN MAY NEED SOME POPS SUN NT IN THE E
PART OF CWA. GFSLR KEEPS NEXT TROF JUST N OF AREA POSSIBLY CLIPPING
NW WY MON PM/MON EVE. ECMWF DEEPER WITH THIS TROF AT 00Z TUE. DRY
FORECAST FOR NOW AND WILL SEE HOW THIS LOOKS TONIGHT. COLD FRONT TO
MOVE ACROSS NRN ZONES MON NT WHICH WOULD BRING SOME COOLER HIGHS FOR
TUE. OPTED FOR DRY FORECAST NEXT TUE AND SEE HOW THINGS SHAPE UP
TONIGHT. MADE FEW CHANGES TO TEMPS FRI-SUN WITH SEASONAL HIGHS...THEN
WARMER MON AND SLIGHT COOLING ON TUE.
