AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND JUNCTION CO 242 PM MDT TUE JUN 2 2009 .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY... LITTLE CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST...WITH GRADUAL DECREASE IN POPS THROUGH THE PERIOD. ALTHOUGH AREAL COVERAGE OF CONVECTION TOMORROW WILL LIKELY BE SIMILAR AS TODAY...EXPECT PRECIPITABLE WATER...PW... TO BE NOTICEABLY LOWER ACROSS OUR CWA THAN TODAY. MODELS ARE JUMPING ON THIS TREND...WITH PW VALUES ACROSS OUR CWA TODAY AVERAGING 0.75 AND THEN LOWERING ON NAM TO AROUND 0.50 BY TOMORROW WHILE THE GFS IS EVEN DRIER. THIS DRYING TREND IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THURSDAY. MANY RIVERS AND STREAMS STILL RUNNING HIGH...WITH SOME EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FLIRTING WITH BANKFULL OR ACTION STAGE. FLOOD ADVISORY FOR EAGLE RIVER AT GYPSUM MAY NEED TO BE CONTINUED FOR SEVERAL DAYS LONGER THAN PRESENTLY INDICATED BY THE ADVISORY. LATER SHIFT CAN TAKE A LOOK AND DETERMINE NEED. HOWEVER...IMPACT OF RAINFALL ON RIVER AND STREAM STAGES EXPECTED TO DECREASE WITH EACH PASSING DAY FOR MOST DRAINAGES. EXPECT A NOTICEABLE WARMING TREND FOR MAX TEMPS THROUGH THURSDAY... AS SKY COVER BECOMES LESS OPAQUE...AND EXPECTED CLOUD COVER LIKELY TO SHRINK. LITTLE CHANGE EXPECTED IN MIN TEMPS. AS FOR THE REST OF TODAY...STILL SUSCEPTIBLE TO BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL AND SMALL HAIL. DO NOT EXPECT CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW WINDS TO EXCEED ABOUT 30 MPH WITH ANY STORMS TODAY. .LONG TERM...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY... BLOCKING PATTERN OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC STILL EXPECTED TO BREAK DOWN...BUT JUST WHEN REMAINS DEBATABLE AS MODELS...ESPECIALLY THE GFS...HAVE BEEN SOMEWHAT INCONSISTENT. BEST TIMING APPEARS TO BE EITHER FRI OR SAT...WHEN A CLOSED UPPER LOW OFF THE CA COAST SHOULD FINALLY MOVE INLAND. WHEN IT DOES SO...THE GFS AND ECWMF INDICATE THE POTENTIAL FOR AT LEAST A BRIEF TAP OF SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE AHEAD OF IT FOR LATE IN THE WEEK. SHORTWAVE EJECTED FROM THE CLOSED LOW ALSO EXPECTED TO CROSS THE AREA TOWARD SAT...SO WILL EXPECT AN INCREASE IN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FRI-SAT. TIGHTENING GRADIENT AND STRENGTHENING SW FLOW ALOFT SHOULD ALSO RESULT IN BREEZY SURFACE WINDS FRI-SAT. MODEL DIFFERENCES BECOME MORE APPARENT SUN-TUE ESPECIALLY ACROSS WRN CANADA. BOTH GFS AND ECWMF SHOW A SRN STREAM JET ACROSS SOME PART OF THE WRN CONUS...SO COULD LIKELY SEE SMALLER EMBEDDED DISTURBANCES CROSS PERIODICALLY...JUST DIFFICULT TO RESOLVE. BUT WITH LOWER THAN AVERAGE CONFIDENCE IN THE MODELS...WILL STAY WITH A FAIRLY GENERIC FORECAST OF ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THEN FOR SUN-TUE...DRIVEN MAINLY BY DIURNAL HEATING AND TERRAIN. && .AVIATION... SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...NUMEROUS OVER SOME MOUNTAIN AREAS...WILL CONTINUE OVER THE REGION THROUGH THIS EVENING. AREAS OF MVFR CIGS AND VSBY LIKELY IN HEAVIER SHOWERS. SMALL HAIL WITH SOME THUNDERSTORMS CAN ALSO BE EXPECTED. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DECREASE LATER THIS EVENING...BUT REDEVELOP AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY. && .HYDROLOGY... WHILE RUNOFF FROM SNOWMELT WILL BE DECREASING...A PERSISTENT SUBTROPICAL FLOW OF MOISTURE WILL RESULT IN PRECIPITATION... ESPECIALLY OVER THE MOUNTAINS...INTO THE FIRST HALF OF THIS WEEK. THIS PRECIPITATION WILL HELP TO SUSTAIN HIGH RIVER AND STREAM FLOWS AND MAY EVEN CAUSE SOME MINOR RISES IN WATER LEVELS. MOST RIVERS AND STREAMS ARE WITHIN THEIR BANKS. HOWEVER...THE EAGLE RIVER IS CURRENTLY AT BANKFULL AND IS RESULTING IN SOME MINOR FLOODING OF AGRICULTURAL LAND. A FLOOD ADVISORY CONTINUES FOR THE EAGLE RIVER NEAR GYPSUM TO ALERT PEOPLE OF HIGH FLOWS. && .GJT WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... .CO...FLOOD ADVISORY EAGLE RIVER AT GYPSUM THROUGH MIDDAY WEDNESDAY. .UT...NONE.
