AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHEYENNE WY
920 PM MDT WED SEP 6 2006

.UPDATE...SMALL BAND OF TSTMS CONTINUES MOVING SOUTH THROUGH FAR
EASTERN COUNTIES OF OUR CWA.  ONE STRONG STORM STILL HANGING ON
EAST OF BFF CURRENTLY.  HAVE BEEN TWEAKING GRIDS/ZONES TO COVER
THIS BAND OF TSTMS AS IT MOVED SOUTH.  THESE WILL STILL AFFECT
MORRILL COUNTY UNTIL 05Z...AND CHEYENNE COUNTY ROUGHLY 05-07Z. JLH

.PREV DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 105 PM MDT WED SEP 6 2006)

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...BENIGN PATTERN CONTINUES WITH
WEAK NW FLOW ALOFT AS CWA GENERALLY UNDER A RIDGE THROUGH THIS
PERIOD. SFC PATTERN WILL HAVE HIGH OVER UTAH AND WESTERN WYOMING
WITH TROFING ACROSS EASTERN WYOMING AND THE PANHANDLE. ANOTHER WARM
DAY ON THURSDAY AND THEN SLIGHT COLD AIR ADVECTION INDICATED ON
FRIDAY.  NO WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION EXPECTED BUT LOOKS LIKE YOU
COULD NOT RULE OUT AFTERNOON AND EVENING CONVECTION THE NEXT TWO
DAYS.

LONG TERM...MODELS DIFFER ON THEIR SOLUTIONS FOR THIS PORTION OF
THE FORECAST...ESPECIALLY FOR NEXT WEEK.  WILL FOLLOW THE 00Z AND
06Z GFS FOR THIS PART OF THE FORECAST BASED ON RUN TO RUN CONTINUITY
AS WELL AS NCEP PREFERENCE.  THE GFS THROUGH THE WEEKEND HAS THE
RIDGE AXIS ALOFT OVER THE NORTHERN ROCKIES WITH AN UPPER LOW MOVING
ACROSS COLORADO THROUGH EARLY SATURDAY NIGHT.  THE 12Z GFS IS SLOWER
THAN ITS PREVIOUS RUNS WITH THE FEATURE.  WITH THE ADDED MOISTURE
AND LIFT...WILL INCREASE POPS AND CLOUD COVER OVER THE CWA...MAINLY
THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT.  A SHALLOW COLD FRONT ALSO MOVES INTO THE
EAST PART OF THE CWA SATURDAY FROM THE EAST WHICH WILL HAVE AN
IMPACT ON TEMPERATURES AND POPS.  FOR NEXT WEEK...THE RIDGE AXIS
ALOFT REBUILDS BACK TO ALONG THE WEST COAST PER THE 06Z GFS AS A
SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVES ACROSS SOUTHERN CANADA.  THAT IS WHERE MODEL
DIFFERENCES TAKE PLACE.  THE ECMWF AND DGEX PLACE AN UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH ALONG THE WEST COAST...WITH THE ECMWF THEN MOVING THE
SHORTWAVE INTO THE NORTHERN ROCKIES.  EVEN THE 12Z RUN OF THE GFS
NOW HAS A BROAD UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE REGION THROUGH TUESDAY
NIGHT WHICH WOULD PRODUCE MORE CLOUDS...PRECIPITATION AND LOWER
MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES.  FOR NOW WILL FOLLOW THE PREVIOUS GFS RUNS
WITH FAIRLY FAST NORTHWEST WIND FLOW ALOFT WILL BE OVER THE
ROCKIES.  BY MIDWEEK...THE 300MB JET WILL BE OVER THE CWA.  A COLD
FRONT BACKS INTO AT LEAST THE EAST PART OF THE CWA ON TUESDAY AND
BECOMES STATIONARY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.  BEHIND THE FRONT...THE GFS
INCREASES THE BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE.  FOR NOW WILL LIKELY TREND
CLOUDS AND POPS UP FOR NEXT TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.
