Area forecast discussion, Jun 23, 1:00 PM MST, 4 hours 55 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHEYENNE WY 200 PM MDT FRI JUN 23 2006 .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY. INSTABILITY AROUND THE BLACK HILLS AND NORTHEASTERN WYOMING IS SPREADING INTO THE NORTHERN NEBRASKA PANHANDLE THIS AFTERNOON. DEW POINTS ARE IN THE 50S IN THE CENTRAL PANHANDLE AND NORTHERN PANHANDLE WITH A CONVERGENCE ZONE ALONG THE PINE RIDGE. I EXPECT TO SEE THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP NEAR THE PINE RIDGE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. A WEAK WAVE IS TRACKING EAST OVER DOUGLAS AT 19Z. THIS TOO WILL HELP INITIATE SOME LOCAL CONVECTION. WEST AND NORTHWESTERLY DOWNSLOPE SURFACE WINDS EXTEND TO EAST OF THE FRONT RANGE. CONVECTION WILL END OVERNIGHT. SATURDAY WILL SEE A SLIGHTLY BACK DOOR FRONT DRIFT INTO THE CWA FROM THE BLACK HILLS. THIS WILL GENERATE SOME UPSLOPE SURFACE FLOW THAT WILL LIKELY REACH THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE LARAMIE RANGES. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP IN THE LARAMIE RANGE AND LARAMIE VALLEY THEN SHIFT OUT ONTO THE PLAINS DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON. CONVECTIVE INSTABILITY IS MUCH LOWER...SO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOT ANTICIPATED. SLIGHTLY COOLER ON SUNDAY WITH A BACK DOOR HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM AT THE SURFACE WILL SHUNT CONVECTION INTO COLORADO. .LONG TERM...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY CONTINUED NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT DUE TO RIDGE ALONG WEST COAST WILL MOVE EAST AND WEAKEN AS NORTH PACIFIC SYSTEM MOVES TOWARDS PACIFIC NORTHWEST BY MID WEEK. TYPICAL SUMMERTIME DIURNAL CYCLE LOOKS LIKE BEST BET AT THIS POINT WITH UPSLOPE FLOW EACH DAY WITH AFTERNOON STORMS OVER THE MOUNTAINS MOVING OUT OVER THE LOWER ELEVATIONS BY EVENING. THE WILD CARD IS ANY SHORT WAVES MOVING THROUGH THE RIDGE THAT COULD ENHANCE THE SEVERE POTENTIAL...BUT NO CONFIDENCE ON TIMING. LITTLE CONVECTION EXPECTED MONDAY DUE TO LACK OF INSTABILITY. OTHERWISE WEAK INSTABILITY IN PLACE FOR AFTERNOONS AND EVENINGS FOR NEXT WEEK. && .CYS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WY...NONE. NE...NONE. && SHORT TERM...COPLEY LONG TERM....EISE
