.SHORT TERM...A COOLER AND WETTER PATTERN WILL AFFECT THE CWA
THROUGH SATURDAY. MODELS THROUGH THAT TIME ARE NOW MORE CONSISTENT
AND DEVELOP AN UPPER LOW OVER NORTHERN COLORADO AND SOUTHERN
WYOMING FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY. AT THE SAME TIME...A SURFACE
COLD FRONT CURRENTLY MOVING INTO NORTHERN MONTANA AND NORTH DAKOTA
WILL BE PUSHED WEST. THE FRONT WILL AT THIS TIME SHOULD MOVE
THROUGH THE EAST PART OF THE CWA FRIDAY AND THROUGH THE REST OF
THE CWA FRIDAY NIGHT. THE SYNOPTIC LIFT FROM BOTH THE UPPER LOW

CHANCE OF SHOWERS ACROSS THE CWA AND MAINLY LATE DAY THUNDERSTORMS

INDICATE OVER AN INCH OF RAIN IN PARTS OF THE SOUTHERN CWA FRIDAY
AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY. HAVE ALSO CONTINUED THE TREND OF
LOWERING HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR BOTH DAYS.

.LONG TERM...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY. SHIELD OF UPSLOPE
GENERATED RAIN MOVES EASTWARD SATURDAY EVENING. THE PATTERN
CONTINUES TO SUGGEST AUTUMN THROUGH THE REST OF THE EXTENDED.

HAVE TO MONITOR MODEL TIMING ADJUSTMENTS IN SUBSEQUENT FORECASTS.
12Z RUN OF THE GFS IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM THE PREVIOUS RUN
REGARDING THE SYSTEM ON TUESDAY. 00Z RUN KEPT PRECIP IN COLORADO...
BUT NEW RUN DEVELOPS AN UPPER CIRCULATION SOUTH OF THE BLACK HILLS
AND DRAWS PRECIP MUCH FARTHER NORTH. NEXT SYSTEM ON THE HORIZON IS
A STRONG COLD FRONT DIVING SOUTH LATE IN THE WEEK...BUT NEITHER
THE ECMWF OR GFS INDICATING IT WILL HAVE AN IMPACT BY THURSDAY
OTHER THAN POSSIBLY AND INCREASE IN WINDS. POMEROY
