Area forecast discussion, Jun 8, 10:05 AM MST, 1 hour 40 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHEYENNE WY 1105 AM MDT SUN JUN 8 2014 .UPDATE... ISSUED AT 749 AM MDT SUN JUN 8 2014 WENT AHEAD AND CANCELLED THE DENSE FOG ADVISORY A LITTLE EARLY THIS MORNING AS LATEST WYDOT WEBCAMS ARE SHOWING PRETTY GOOD VISIBILITIES ACROSS THE I-80 SUMMIT AND AROUND CHEYENNE. UPDATES HAVE BEEN SENT. && .SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT) ISSUED AT 400 AM MDT SUN JUN 8 2014 MOIST SOUTH TO SOUTHEASTERLY UPSLOPE HAS CAUSED LOW CLOUDS TO DEVELOP OVER MUCH OF THE PLAINS ONCE AGAIN. WEBCAMS SHOW DENSE FOG ALONG INTERSTATE 8O FROM CHEYENNE TO THE SUMMIT AND WITH THE UPSLOPE SOUTHERLY WINDS CONTINUING ALONG THE CHEYENNE RIDGE THROUGH AT LEAST MID-MORNING...WOULD EXPECT THIS TO CONTINUE. ISSUED A DENSE FOG ADVISORY THROUGH 15Z FOR THE SOUTHERN LARAMIE RANGE AND ADJACENT FOOTHILL ZONE. WILL HAVE TO MONITOR CENTRAL LARAMIE COUNTY SINCE VIS AT CYS HAS DROPPED TO A QUARTER MILE. SHORTWAVE SHOWS UP ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY ACROSS EASTERN IDAHO AND WESTERN WY. GOOD ISENTROPIC ASCENT AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE IS CAUSING SOME SHOWERS AND ISOLATED TSTMS TO DEVELOP OVER PORTIONS OF CONVERSE/NIOBRARA COUNTIES AND THE NORTHERN NEBRASKA PANHANDLE. THE COLDEST CLOUD TOPS ARE MAINLY NORTH OF THE CWA HOWEVER INTO CAMPBELL AND WESTON COUNTIES. THE HRRR MODEL SHOWS WIDESPREAD IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS ACROSS THE PLAINS THROUGH AT LEAST 16Z. COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHORTWAVE WILL HAVE MOVED ACROSS THE NORTHWESTERN COUNTIES BY 18Z AND THEN THROUGH THE REST OF THE CWA BY 00Z. WILL HAVE TO SEE HOW MUCH SFC HEATING AND INSTABILITY THERE IS BY EARLY AFTN OVER THE SOUTHERN PANHANDLE AS THIS SEEMS LIKE THE MOST FAVORABLE AREA FOR SCATTERED TSTMS TO DEVELOP. TSTM POTENTIAL REALLY DROPS OFF AFTER AROUND 21Z BEHIND THE FROPA. THE COMBINATION OF SFC CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT AND INCREASING LARGE SCALE ASCENT WILL CAUSE WIDESPREAD RAIN OVER THE PLAINS AND ESPECIALLY THE PANHANDLE BY THIS AFTN THAT WILL PERSIST INTO THE EVENING. SUBSIDENCE BEHIND THE UPPER LEVEL WAVE WILL CAUSE PRECIP TO RAPIDLY SHUT OFF BY LATE EVENING. IT WILL BE A QUITE COOL NIGHT UPCOMING AS THE SFC HIGH IS LOCATED OVER SOUTHEAST WY. GUIDANCE HAS LOWS IN LARAMIE AROUND FREEZING SO DAY SHIFT MAY WANT TO CONSIDER A FROST ADVISORY IN THE LARAMIE VALLEY AS RADIATIONAL COOLING WILL BE EXCELLENT BY LATE TONIGHT. A MUCH DRIER AIRMASS IS STILL PROGGED OVER THE REGION BY MON AND INTO TUES WITH PW VALUES DROPPING TO BELOW 0.5 INCHES. PRECIP CHANCES WILL BE SLIM AND DONT REALLY HAVE ANY SLIGHT CHANCE POPS THRU TUES. MAY EVEN HAVE TROUBLE GETTING MUCH CUMULUS ON MON (LI VALUES ARE ABOVE 3C). WHILE TEMPS WILL WARM SLIGHTLY ON MON...THE BIGGER WARMUP IS NOT UNTIL TUES WHEN 700MB TEMPS RISE TO AROUND 14C. THIS TRANSLATES INTO A 20-25 DEGREE WARMUP COMPARED TO THIS WEEKENDS COOL TEMPS. .LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY) ISSUED AT 400 AM MDT SUN JUN 8 2014 AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS ON WEDNESDAY WITH AN ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT BEGINNING TO DROP SOUTH ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS OF WYOMING AND THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE IN THE LATE MORNING. WESTERLY SFC FLOW AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL KEEP THE LLVLS SOMEWHAT DRY SO CONVECTIVE INHIBITION MAY BE TOO STRONG FOR DEEP CONVECTION TO FIRE ALONG THE FRONT. AS THE BETTER UPPER FORCING MOVES OVERHEAD IN THE AFTERNOON...LOOKING AT A HIGHER CHANCE FOR ISOLATED ELEVATED STORMS IN THE POST FRONTAL ENVIRONMENT. HEIGHTS WILL RISE OVERHEAD ON THURSDAY AS AN UPPER LOW DIGS INTO THE PAC NW. THE THERMAL RIDGE WILL BE SITUATED OVER THE GREAT BASIN JUST TO THE WEST OF THE RIDGE AXIS...SO TEMPS WILL BE WARMER OUT WEST AND SLIGHTLY COOLER IN THE EAST WITHIN THE POST FRONTAL AIRMASS. SOUTH-SOUTHEASTERLY UPSLOPE FLOW WILL ADVECT HIGHER DEW POINTS TO THE LEE OF THE LARAMIE RANGE...SO EXPECT A BETTER CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITHIN THE ZONE OF STRONGEST UPSLOPE FORCING AND HIGHER LLVL MOISTURE. THE UPPER LOW WILL MOVE OVER THE NORTHERN ROCKIES ON FRIDAY WITH LEESIDE CYCLOGENESIS OCCURRING OVER EASTERN WY/MT. THE THERMAL RIDGE WILL MOVE OVERHEAD THROUGH THIS TIME SO LOOKING AT SFC TEMPS INCREASING INTO THE UPPER 70S TO UPPER 80S WITH 700 MB TEMPS CLIMBING TO 12-14C. EVEN WITH STRONG CONVERGENCE WITHIN THE LEESIDE TROUGH AS THE SFC LOW DEVELOPS...AND CONTINUED LLVL MOISTURE ADVECTION EAST OF THE TROUGH AXIS...THE WARMING TEMPS ALOFT COULD CAP THE ENVIRONMENT ENOUGH TO KEEP THINGS DRY. LEFT IN A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR T-STORMS IN THE AFTERNOON ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS BUT NOT CONFIDENT WILL SEE MUCH ACTIVITY DEVELOP. THE PACIFIC FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA FRIDAY EVENING WITH DRY AND COOLER CONDITIONS EXPECTED IN ITS WAKE THROUGH EARLY SATURDAY. SFC FLOW WILL TURN UPSLOPE IN THE AFTERNOON AS A RESULT OF HEATING OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND SFC HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS. COULD SEE A FEW T-STORMS DEVELOP IN THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS A WEAK UPPER DISTURBANCE APPROACHES FROM THE WEST...BUT CHANCES WILL BE SLIGHT. && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY MORNING) ISSUED AT 1103 AM MDT SUN JUN 8 2014 CHALLENGING AVIATION FORECAST AS A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON. RELIED A LOT ON THE CURRENT HRRR FORECAST...LIFTING IFR CONDITIONS AS THE FRONT MOVES INTO THE PANHANDLE EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...THEN COMING BACK DOWN NEAR...OR SHORTLY AFTER 00Z IN NORTHEAST WIND FLOW BEHIND THE FRONT. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR AS THE AFTERNOON PROGRESSES. && .FIRE WEATHER... ISSUED AT 400 AM MDT SUN JUN 8 2014 MINIMAL FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION BY LATE THIS MORNING AND PERSIST THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. THE BEST CHANCE OF WETTING RAINS WILL BE TO THE EAST OF THE LARAMIE RANGE. A DRIER AND SLIGHTLY WARMER AIRMASS ON MONDAY WILL CAUSE MINIMUM AFTERNOON HUMIDITY VALUES TO FALL TO AROUND 20-30 PERCENT. MORE WARMING IS EXPECTED FOR TUESDAY WHEN HUMIDITY VALUES WILL DROP TO 15-20 PERCENT FOR AREAS TO THE WEST OF THE LARAMIE RANGE. && .HYDROLOGY... ISSUED AT 400 AM MDT SUN JUN 8 2014 RIVER FLOODING CONTINUES TO WANE SLOWLY AS MELTING FROM SOURCE SNOW COVER DIMINISHES. STAGES ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO RECEDE ALONG THE UPPER NORTH PLATTE AND LARAMIE RIVERS THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. LOCATIONS THAT ARE CURRENTLY SEEING MINOR FLOODING WILL DROP BELOW FLOOD STAGE BY LATE TUESDAY. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS TO THE WEST OF THE LARAMIE RANGE BY THIS AFTERNOON...HOWEVER RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL NOT BE SUBSTANTIAL. && .CYS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
