A thunderstorm produced wind gusts to around 60 mph at Scottsbluff.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Cheyenne, WY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 27, 4:05 PM MST, 1 hour 42 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHEYENNE WY 505 PM MDT FRI JUL 27 2012 .AVIATION...00Z TAF ISSUANCE... VFR CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK OVER THE CWA. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL AFFECT MUCH OF THE CWA THROUGH 04Z THIS EVENING. THE STRONGER STORMS WILL PRODUCE BRIEF WIND GUSTS TO 40 KNOTS AND BRIEF MVFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES IN RAIN. && .PREVIOUS DISCUSSION.../ISSUED AT 353 PM MDT FRI JUL 27 2012/... SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY... BROAD UPPER-LEVEL RIDGING REMAINS IN PLACE OVER MUCH OF THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL CONUS IN ADVANCE OF A SIGNIFICANT LONGWAVE TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN NORTH PACIFIC. SEVERAL ASSOCIATED MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE DISTURBANCES ARE EXPECTED TO TRAVERSE THE FLOW ALONG THE EDGE OF THE RIDGE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS...WITH THE MOST SIGNIFICANT WAVE NOW MOVING OVER THE GREAT BASIN AS PER RECENT WATER VAPOR SATELLITE IMAGERY. INCREASING MOISTURE IN THE H7-H3 LAYER HAS ALREADY COMBINED WITH LARGE SCALE ASCENT TO PRODUCE SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND TSTMS...MAINLY FROM THE SNOWY AND SIERRA MADRE RANGES NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE HIGH PLAINS OF EAST CENTRAL WY. THE LATEST SPC MESOSCALE ANALYSIS SUGGESTS THE PRESENCE OF SBCAPE VALUES AROUND 500 TO 1000 J/KG ALONG AND EAST OF THE LARAMIE RANGE AMIDST FAIRLY MODEST DEEP LAYER VERTICAL SHEAR AROUND 20 TO 30 KTS. WE CANNOT COMPLETELY RULE OUT A FEW LOOSELY ORGANIZED STRONG TSTMS DURING THE LATE AFTN AND EVE WITH THE PRIMARY HAZARDS BEING GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS ALONG WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN AND PERHAPS SOME SMALL HAIL....PARTICULARLY OVER THE NORTHERN PANHANDLE BENEATH STRONGER MID-LEVEL FLOW. CONVECTION SHOULD COME TO AN END AFTER MIDNIGHT AS DRY MID-LEVEL AIR INVADES THE REGION IN THE WAKE OF THE AFOREMENTIONED SHORTWAVE...AND SUBSIDENCE INCREASES IN THE RIGHT EXIT REGION OF A 70 KT H3 JET STREAK. A WARMER AND DRIER WEATHER PATTERN SHOULD PREVAIL THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT TERM PERIOD AS UPPER-LEVEL RIDGING BECOMES THE DOMINANT SYNOPTIC FEATURE. THE MODELS SHOW A CONTINUED INCREASE IN H7 TEMPERATURES ON SATURDAY TO AROUND 16-17C AND THICKNESS VALUES NEAR 584 DM IN THE 1000-500H LAYER. THIS SHOULD YIELD ANOTHER VERY WARM AND DRY DAY WITH WIDESPREAD 90S AND LOW 100S FOR AFTERNOON HIGH TEMPERATURES. WESTERLY MID-LEVEL FLOW AND A SOUTHWARD SHIFT IN MONSOONAL MOISTURE WILL LIMIT PRECIPITATION CHANCES TO THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS. MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES MAY APPROACH THE 10 TO 15 PERCENT RANGE OVER PORTIONS OF CARBON...CONVERSE...AND NIOBRARA COUNTIES ON SATURDAY...BUT WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW RED FLAG CRITERIA. MID AND HIGH LEVEL MOISTURE WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN ZONES TOWARD THE END OF THE PERIOD...WITH CONVECTIVE CHANCES ONCE AGAIN SPREADING EASTWARD ONTO THE HIGH PLAINS BY LATE SUN. LONG TERM...SUNDAY NIGHT-FRIDAY THE MAIN THEME DURING THIS TIMEFRAME WILL BE THE STUBBORN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE ACROSS THE PLAINS WHICH WILL CONTINUE PROVIDE LITTLE IN THE WAY OF PRECIPITATION FOR OUR NECK OF THE WOODS. SUNDAY NIGHT TO MONDAY NIGHT... THE MODELS ARE CONTINUING TO SHOW WEAK UPPER LEVEL IMPULSES RIDING OVER THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE. ONE OF THE IMPULSES IS PROGGED TO AFFECT THE AREA ON MONDAY WHICH MAY TRIGGER SOME CONVECTION OVER THE MOUNTAINS DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON. IF THESE STORMS CAN GET GOING THEY WILL MOST LIKELY PUSH SLOWLY EAST INTO THE PLAINS AND YIELD TO VERY HEAVY RAINFALL WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES POSSIBLY APPROACHING 125-150 PERCENT OF NORMAL...ACCORDING THE GFS. IN ADDITION...THERE MAY BE SOME ADDITIONAL LIFT FROM THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF THE UPPER LEVEL JET. AS A RESULT...WE WILL NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON THIS PERIOD FOR TORRENTIAL RAINFALL. TUESDAY TO FRIDAY... THE MODELS ARE SHOWING THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDING SOME AS THE NEXT STRONGER SHORTWAVE APPROACHES THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. GEFS IS SHOWING ANOMALIES AROUND 1 TO 1.5 STANDARD DEVIATIONS WHICH WILL PROVIDE MORE ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES WITH ONLY SLIGHT CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH THE MAIN THREAT FOR THESE STORMS BEING IN THE MOUNTAINS. AT THIS JUNCTURE...THIS NEXT PACIFIC WAVE LOOKS TO BE VERY IMPRESSIVE WHICH MAY ACTUALLY FLATTEN THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE NEXT WEEKEND AND BRING SOMEWHAT COOLER TEMPERATURES. THE ECMWF IS A LITTLE MORE PROGRESSIVE WITH THIS WAVE COMPARED TO THE GFS/GEFS. WE DID INCREASE POPS A BIT MAINLY OVER AREAS MAINLY WEST OF THE LARAMIE RANGE ON THURSDAY...BUT WE WILL KEEP THE COOLER AIR AT BAY FOR NOW SINCE THIS UPPER LEVEL RIDGE HAS BEEN SO PERSISTENT. && .AVIATION...18Z TAF ISSUANCE LATEST SATELLITE LOOP WAS SHOWING SOME SHOWERS TRYING TO DEVELOP ALONG THE SOUTHERN LARAMIE RANGE. ANY SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THAT CAN GET GOING ALONG THIS RANGE THIS AFTERNOON SHOULD LIFT NORTHEAST. AS A RESULT...WE HAVE CONTINUED TO KEEP TEMPO GROUPS GOING IN THE CYS/LAR/BFF AND RWL TAF SITES. THE REMAINDER OF THE TAF SITES WE HAVE REMOVED THE TEMPO GROUPS FOR NOW...AND WILL MONITOR SINCE WE ARE MORE UNSURE OF WHEN THE CONVECTION WILL ARRIVE. THE MAIN UPPER LEVEL WAVE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS CONVECTION WILL ALLOW A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO MOVE THROUGH WYOMING LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING AND THE PANHANDLE REGION TONIGHT. ONCE THIS BOUNDARY PASSES...THE WIND SHOULD BEGIN TO SHIFT TO THE WEST-NORTHWEST. && .FIRE WEATHER... A BROAD UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL REMAIN ANCHORED OVER MUCH OF THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL UNITED STATES OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. A SERIES OF MID AND UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES WILL TRAVERSE THE FLOW ALONG THE EDGE OF THE RIDGE...RESULTING IN DAILY CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION OVER THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS. THE FIRST SUCH DISTURBANCE WILL AFFECT THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AND WILL YIELD SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER MUCH OF THE AREA...ESPECIALLY FROM THE SNOWY AND SIERRA MADRE MOUNTAIN RANGES NORTHEASTWARD INTO EAST CENTRAL WYOMING. A FEW THUNDERSTORMS MAY PRODUCE GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS NEAR 50 MPH. IN ADDITION THESE STORMS...TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 80S AND LOWER 90S HAVE COMBINED WITH LIMITED LOWER LEVEL MOISTURE TO PRODUCE LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES NEAR 15 PERCENT. THIS...ALONG WITH OCCASIONAL WIND GUSTS AROUND 30 MPH WILL RESULT IN NEAR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS OVER CENTRAL CARBON COUNTY THROUGH THIS EVENING. THE OVERALL WEATHER PATTERN THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK WILL FAVOR ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY OVER THE MOUNTAINS. VERY HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL YIELD AFTERNOON RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES GENERALLY RANGING FROM 15 TO 25 PERCENT...LOWEST OVER SOUTH CENTRAL AND EAST CENTRAL WYOMING. A FEW LOCATIONS COULD SEE RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES AS LOW AS 10 PERCENT OVER CARBON...CONVERSE...AND NIOBRARA COUNTIES. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW RED FLAG CRITERIA. && .CYS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WY...NONE. NE...NONE. && SHORT TERM/FIRE WEATHER...HAMMER LONG TERM/AVIATION...REC
