Hail in Colorado, June 23, 2013

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DENVER/BOULDER CO
305 PM MDT SUN JUN 23 2013

.SHORT TERM...SHORT WAVE DISTURBANCE CONTINUES TO PROGRESS
NORTHEASTWARD OVER UTAH AND SOUTHWEST COLORADO AT THIS HOUR. AT
ITS CURRENT SPEED SHOULD SEE ITS AXIS PASSING OVER THE NORTH
CENTRAL MTNS BY 00Z TODAY AND OVER THE FAR NERN PLAINS OF
COLORADO BY 06Z TONIGHT. STRONG MID-LEVEL DESTABLIZATION IN WARM
SECTOR OUT AHEAD OF THE S/W WILL COUPLE WITH SURFACE DEW POINTS IN
THE 25-35 DEG RANGE TO PRODUCE WEAK PULSE-TYPE T-STORMS ALONG THE
CONTINENTAL DIVIDE AND OVER THE FOOTHILLS DURING THE NEXT FEW
HOURS. ONCE ON THE PLAINS...STORM DEVELOPMENT SHOULD BECOME MORE
ORGANIZED...WITH STORMS FORMING IN THE VICINITY OF THE DENVER
CYCLONE AND ALONG THE CONVERGENCE ZONE SOUTH OF THE LOW.
SOUTHEASTERLY LOW-LEVEL FLOW ON THE PLAINS HAS SUPPRESSED DEW
POINTS SOME IN THE PAST FEW HOURS...HOWEVER INTEGRATED
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES HAVE CONTINUED TO CREEP UP THRU THE DAY
TO AROUND 0.65 INCH AT DEN. FIRST WAVE OF LOW-TOP CONVECTION
MOVING OFF THE FOOTHILLS AT THIS TIME WILL LIKELY PRODUCE OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES THAT STRONGER STORMS WILL LIKELY FORM ALONG LATER THIS
AFTERNOON. SFC DEW POINTS IN THE 45-55 DEG F RANGE COMBINED WITH
TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW/MID 80S AND VERY STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE
RATES...AOA 8C/KM IN THE 700-500MB LAYER...WILL SUPPORT MEAN LAYER
CAPE VALUES FROM 1300-2200 J/KG ON THE PLAINS BY 00Z/MONDAY.
15-20KT E-SELY LOW- LEVEL WINDS OVERLAYED BY 30KT MID-LEVEL
W-SWLYS WILL ALSO GENERATE SUFFICIENT MEAN LAYER SHEAR FOR
ISOLATED SUPERCELLS ON THE PLAINS...CAPABLE OF LARGE
HAIL...DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND PERHAPS A TORNADO OR TWO. AREAS TO
THE EAST AND NORTHEAST OF DENVER IN THE BEST POSITION TO SEE THIS
OCCURRING. STORMS IN THE DEEPER MOISTURE ACROSS THE NORTHEAST
CORNER COULD POTENTIALLY PRODUCE 1 TO 1.5 INCHES OF RAIN IN A
SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THIS EVENING. THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER
CURRENTLY HAS NORTHEAST COLORADO IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE HAIL
AND WIND...WITH A BULLSEYE NEAR THE NORTHEAST CORNER. STORMS THIS
EVENING MOVE EAST-NORTHEAST WITH THE PASSING SHORTWAVE TROUGH WITH
THE BULK OF THIS ACTIVITY EXITING THE STATE BY AROUND
06Z/MIDNIGHT. TEMPERATURES TONIGHT ABOUT THE SAME AS LAST NIGHT
UNDER CLEARING SKIES AFTER MIDNIGHT.

ON MONDAY...THE FORECAST AREA COMES UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF STRONG
MID-LEVEL SUBSIDENCE AND A MUCH DRIER AIRMASS WITH A VERY WARM
SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. STRONG SOLAR HEATING WILL IN TURN PRODUCE
STEEP BOUNDARY LAYER LAPSE RATES BY AFTERNOON. SOUTH-SOUTHWEST
SFC FLOW WILL PRETTY MUCH SCOUR OUT MUCH OF THE LOW-LEVEL
MOISTURE NOW COVERING THE PLAINS. SO THE CHANCE FOR ANY CONVECTION/
T-STORMS APPEARS MINIMAL AT THIS TIME. CONCERNS TURN TO WILDLAND
FIRE...AND ITS POTENTIAL FOR GROWTH. WILL BE ISSUING A FIREWEATHER
WATCH FOR SOUTH PARK ZONE 214...MIDDLE PARK ZONE 213 AND THE
PALMER DIVIDE ZONE 241 BASED ON LOW RH VALUES AND GUSTY SOUTHWEST
WINDS. THIS WATCH WILL RUN FROM 1 PM MDT TO 8 PM MDT MONDAY.
FINALLY TEMPERATURES ON MONDAY AS MUCH AS 10-12F WARMER THAN
TODAY.

.LONG TERM...MODELS SHOW THE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT MONDAY NIGHT
TO BECOME ZONAL BY TUESDAY AS A FLAT UPPER RIDGE SOUTH OF COLORADO
MOVES THIS WAY. THE UPPER RIDGE AXIS BUILDS NORTHWARD TO THE WEST
OF THE CWA TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT BRINGING
NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT TO THE FORECAST AREA. THE SYNOPTIC SCALE
ENERGY IS PROGGED TO BE BENIGN MONDAY NIGHT...THEN WEAK DOWNWARD
QG VERTICAL VELOCITY IS PROGGED TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THE
BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW IS DOMINATED BY DOWNSLOPING TUESDAY...THEN
SOUTHEASTERLIES WEDNESDAY. FOR MOISTURE...MOST OF THE MODELS SHOW
SOME IN THE MID AND UPPER LEVELS MOST OF THE PERIOD...HOWEVER
BOUNDARY LAYER DEW POINTS ARE MAINLY IN THE LOWER 20S TO UPPER 30S
F RANGE ALL FIVE PERIODS. THE ONE EXCEPTION BEING THE FAR
NORTHEAST CORNER MONDAY EVENING...WHERE PROGGED VALUES GET INTO
THE 40S F. ALSO...LATER ON WEDNESDAY THEY COME UP A BIT WITH THE
SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW. THERE IS PRACTICALLY NO CAPE PROGGED OVER THE
CWA ALL FIVE PERIODS...JUST A TAD OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND FOOTHILLS
LATE DAY WEDNESDAY ON THE NAM ONLY. THERE IS NO MEASURABLE
RAINFALL ON ANY OF THE MODEL'S QPF FIELDS ALL FIVE PERIODS. THERE
IS AN OVERWHELMING MID LEVEL CAP OVER THE CWA ACCORDING TO THE
LAPSE RATES FIELDS ALL THE PERIODS. NO POPS ANYWHERE. CONCERNING
FIRE WEATHER ISSUES...WIND SPEEDS ARE RELATIVELY LOW MONDAY NIGHT
INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...THE SOUTHEASTERLIES
OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE PLAINS COME UP TO NEAR 20 KNOTS.
SOMETHING TO WATCH. FOR TEMPERATURES...TUESDAY'S HIGHS LOOK CLOSE
TO MONDAY'S. WEDNESDAY'S ARE PROGGED UP 1-2 C FROM TUESDAY'S. FOR
THE LATER DAYS...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW
AN UPPER RIDGE RIGHT OVER OR PARTIALLY OVER COLORADO ALL FOUR
DAYS. THE RIDGE AXIS IS STILL INDICATED WEST OF THE CWA WITH WEAK
NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT FOR US. YESTERDAY'S 12Z MODEL RUNS
INDICATED SOME COOLER AIR OVER THE PLAINS FOR FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY. TODAY'S 12Z RUNS INDICATE ONLY A SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR
MASS JUST ON FRIDAY NOW. MOISTURE LOOKS A LITTLE BETTER WITH THE
LATEST RUNS...SO WILL GO WITH "SLIGHT CHANCE"S MOST LATE DAY
PERIODS...MORE SO FOR THE MOUNTAINS AND FOOTHILLS. TEMPERATURES
STAY ABOVE ALL FOUR DAYS.

&&

.AVIATION...LOW-TOP CONVECTION NOW MOVING OVER THE DENVER METRO
AREA. COULD SEE WIND GUSTS TO 40 MPH PRODUCED THIS FIRST WAVE OF
MOSTLY DRY CLOUD CELLS. MEANWHILE A DENVER CYCLONE WILL CONTINUE
TO FORM JUST TO THE NORTHEAST OF DENVER. WINDS ACROSS SOUTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE DENVER METRO AREA SHOULD REMAIN SOUTHEASTERLY FOR
THE NEXT FEW HOURS. WHILE WINDS OVER NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE
METRO AREA WILL TURN NORTH-NORTHEASTERLY. A CONVERGENCE BOUNDARY
SETTING UP OVER THE SOUTH METRO AREA WILL ACT AS A FOCUS FOR
STORM FORMATION IN THE NEXT 1-2 HOURS. STORMS IN THE DENVER METRO
AREA...ESPLY SOUTHERN AND EASTERN PORTIONS...MAY GO SEVERE
BETWEEN 4 PM AND 7 PM MDT. HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND MAIN THREAT.
TERMINAL FORECASTS ALREADY HAVE A TEMPO FOR -TSRA AND STG WIND
GUSTS AFTER 22Z TODAY. OVERNIGHT...SKIES CLEAR WITH DRIER AIR
MOVING DOWN OFF THE FRONT RANGE AND PALMER DIVIDE. ON MONDAY...VFR
CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL WITH SOUTH-SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 5-12 KTS
FOR MOST OF THE DAY.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...FIRE WEATHER WATCH 1 PM TO 8 PM MDT ON MONDAY FOR
COZ213-214-241. LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITIES AND GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS
TO 30 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...STRONG SLOW MOVING T-STORMS OVER THE NORTHEAST
PLAINS THIS EVENING COULD DEPOSIT 1 TO 1.5 INCHES OF RAIN IN A
SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. STORMS ELSEWHERE LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING ARE EXPECTED TO PRODUCE NOT MUCH MORE THAN A QUARTER OF
RAIN. DRY WASHES AND ARROYOS ON THE PLAINS MAY PARTIALLY FILL
WITH FAST MOVING RUNOFF FORM THESE HEAVY SHOWERS.

&&

.BOU WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...FIRE WEATHER WATCH 1 PM TO 8
PM MDT ON MONDAY FOR COZ213-214-241.
