148 PM MDT MON JUN 12 2006

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...H5 RIDGE WILL AMPLIFY
TONIGHT AND TOMORROW AND THEN BEGIN TO PUSH OFF TO THE EAST
WEDNESDAY NIGHT MAKING WAY FOR A PACIFIC TROUGH. UNDER THE RIDGE
TEMPERATURES WILL SOAR INTO AT LEAST THE 90S IN MOST LOWER
ELEVATIONS...AND EVEN TO THE CENTURY MARK IN THE NEB PANHANDLE.
SURFACE FEATURES WILL BE INCONSEQUENTIAL UNTIL WEDNESDAY WHEN
SURFACE CYCLOGENESIS WILL OCCUR IN MONTANA AHEAD OF THE
APPROACHING TROUGH. THIS WILL TURN THE SURFACE FLOW DOWNSLOPE AND
DRY THE AIR MASS WHILE PUSHING THE TEMPERATURES EVEN HIGHER.
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES IN THE PLAINS WILL SUFFER FROM THE LACK OF
MOISTURE...BUT THE MOUNTAIN ZONES WILL HAVE A CHANCE AT DRY
THUNDERSTORMS IN A QUASI-MONSOONAL PATTERN AHEAD OF THE TROUGH. IN
THE MEANTIME...THUNDERSTORMS WILL PROBABLY FIRE LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING AS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE PILES UP
UNDER A SURFACE UPSLOPE REGIME. DESPITE RISING HEIGHTS
ALOFT...LAPSE RATES ARE RATHER STEEP WITH PLENTIFUL SURFACE
HEATING.

.LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY.  A SLOW MOVING UPPER TROUGH
WITH SURFACE LOW IN SOUTHERN CANADA PUSHES INTO WESTERN WYOMING
THURSDAY AND EXITS THE STATE FRIDAY. THIS WILL COOL AFTERNOON
TEMPERATURES INTO THE 70S AND 80S. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE ACROSS THE STATE THROUGH THIS
PERIOD. LEE TROUGHING WILL HELP GENERATE LOCALLY BREEZY WINDS. THE
UPPER FLOW BECOMES ZONAL SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY. MOST
PRECIPITATION WILL REMAIN ALONG THE CANADIAN BORDER. HOWEVER
BREEZY WINDS WILL PERSIST OVER WYOMING.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...BY WEDNESDAY THE MOISTURE WILL HAVE TIME TO FLUSH
OUT OF THE DISTRICT...ESPECIALLY AS DOWNSLOPE WINDS KICK IN
RESPONDING TO SFC CYCLOGENESIS OVER SOUTHERN MONTANA. AIR MASS WILL
BE VERY WARM STILL...THUS RH/S WILL BE LOW. AFOREMENTIONED
CYCLOGENESIS WILL PROMOTE STRONG WINDS AND COULD POSE A CRITICAL
FIRE DANGER. FURTHERMORE...MID LEVEL MOISTURE WILL BE ADVECTED INTO
THE DISTRICT AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING PACIFIC TROUGH ON WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY...ALLOWING THE POSSIBILITY OF DRY THUNDERSTORMS IN A
MONSOON-LIKE PATTERN. A FIRE WEATHER WATCH MAY BE REQUIRED.
