AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHEYENNE WY
223 PM MDT MON SEP 11 2006

.SHORT TERM...THROUGH TUE NIGHT. PRECIPITATION CURRENTLY ON THE
RADAR SHOULD END THIS EVENING AS THE SHORTWAVE VORTICITY MAXIMUM
THAT TRIGGERED THE RAIN MOVES SOUTH SOUTHEAST OUT OF THE CYS
FORECAST AREA. MOISTURE WILL DIMINISH TONIGHT AND TUE LOOKS TO BE
MOSTLY SUNNY THANKS TO A DOME OF UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED
TO OUR SOUTHWEST. NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT TUE WILL START TO BACK
TO MORE WESTERLY AS THE UPPER HIGH LOSES STRENGTH. TEMPERATURES
TUE WILL BE 5 TO 10 DEG F WARMER THAN TODAY AS HEIGHTS RISE AND
THE DRIER AIRMASS PERMITS MORE INSOLATION AND SUBSEQUENT SURFACE
HEATING. OVERNIGHT TEMPS TONIGHT AND TUE NIGHT WILL BE PRETTY
CLOSE TO NORMAL...WITH TONIGHT BEING A FEW DEGREES COOLER THAN TUE
NIGHT.

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY...POTENTIAL RED FLAG DAY
FOR WEDNESDAY WITH LOW PRESSURE SPINNING UP IN NORTHEAST WYOMING
AND A FAVORABLE SOUTHWEST GRADIENT ACROSS CARBON AND ALBANY
COUNTIES. HUMIDITIES WILL NOSEDIVE UNDER THIS SCENARIO. SOME SIGNS
THAT FALL IS AROUND THE CORNER WITH APPROACHING SYSTEM FOR LATE IN
THE WEEK. MODELS ARE STILL HAVING TROUBLE PLACING THE TRACK OF
THIS SYSTEM...WHICH THEY TEND TO DO DURING THIS TRANSITION PERIOD.
12Z GFS AND ECMWF TAKE THE LOW CENTER FARTHER SOUTH ALONG THE WEST
COAST THAN THE 00Z RUN AND THEN SWING IT EAST THROUGH WYOMING...
WITH MAIN DIFFERENCE BEING THE ECMWF IS QUICKER. 12Z UKMET TENDS
TO SUPPORT THIS SOLUTION ALSO. THIS WOULD BRING A WETTER SCENARIO
TO THE REGION SO HAVE PUT PRECIP MENTION BACK INTO THE FORECAST
FOR FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. WILL MORE THAN LIKELY SEE OUR FIRST
HIGH WIND EVENT OF THE SEASON SOMETIME FRIDAY OR SATURDAY.

.CYS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
