Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Cheyenne WY 128 PM MDT Thu Jun 1 2017 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday night) Issued at 230 PM MDT Thu Jun 1 2017 Tonight...As our team expected, scattered showers and thunderstorms continue to erupt over our western counties, along and west of a Douglas to Cheyenne line. Current and expected instability and shear values suggest that the storms should remain sub-severe, though a few storms with small hail and gusty winds would not be too surprising through early evening. Will continue with our current forecast of isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms this evening, decreasing in coverage after 9 pm, with a few residual showers remaining after midnight. Friday...Shortwave trough aloft moves into the western Dakotas and western Nebraska in the late afternoon with a low level surface trough or cold front moving to the east of our counties in the afternoon, thus severely limiting chances for showers and thunderstorms over our counties as drying occurs in the low levels. Still though, will continue with a low chance for showers and thunderstorms north of a Lusk to Alliance line with isolated thunderstorms over the mountains. Slightly cooler and drier. Friday night...Expect a dry night with limited cloud cover as low and mid level moisture decreases. Also, a bit cooler than Thursday night with less cloud cover. Saturday...Relatively dominant ridging and warm temperatures aloft prevail over our region with light southerly surface winds. Thus, no showers and thunderstorms expected. Temperatures slightly warmer than Friday with a moderating airmass and warmer temperatures aloft. Compromised between the NAM and GFS MOS maximums for high temperatures. Saturday night...Continued dry with minimal low and mid level moisture. .LONG TERM...(Sunday through Thursday) Issued at 230 PM MDT Thu Jun 1 2017 Upper ridge overhead Sunday with 700mb temperatures increasing to +16C over Carbon County. Going to be warm Sunday with 80s west of the Laramie Range and near 90s out in the Panhandle. Ridge axis moves east Monday with an upper low tracking through Montana Monday afternoon. Going to see convection increasing Monday afternoon as associated cold front approaches from the west. Front moves through the CWFA Tuesday morning. Another active afternoon Tuesday with fairly widespread showers and thunderstorms. Another upper ridge Wednesday to bring back warmer and drier air to the area into Friday. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Friday afternoon) Issued at 1107 AM MDT Thu Jun 1 2017 Convective activity shifted west of the Laramie Range today as eastern sections under high pressure. KLAR and KRWL will see the biggest impacts today with the convection. Used HRRR guidance on timing of convection this afternoon. Airports east of the Laramie Range should stay dry today. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 230 PM MDT Thu Jun 1 2017 Minimal concerns based on expected humidities and winds. && .HYDROLOGY... Issued at 230 PM MDT Thu Jun 1 2017 Warm temperatures will continue to increase snowmelt above 9000 feet through the weekend. High temperatures will be above normal through Sunday, with low temperatures staying well above freezing. This will result in highly efficient snowmelt and rising creeks and main stem rivers. The Upper North Platte River at Saratoga may rise to near action stage over the next few days. && .CYS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WY...None.
