Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Cheyenne WY 223 PM MDT Tue Jul 9 2019 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday) Issued at 225 PM MDT Tue Jul 9 2019 Forecast concerns deal primarily with severe thunderstorm chances this afternoon and early evening. Currently...Cold front moving through the area this afternoon. Upper shortwave moving through northeast Wyoming into western South Dakota this afternoon. Seeing a pretty strong jet max of roughly 100kts rounding the base of that shortwave into Converse/Niobrara and the northern Nebraska Panhandle this afternoon. 500mb temperatures down to -13 to -15C this afternoon...aiding in steeper lapse rates across our northern counties. SPCs Mesoanalysis page showing surface based CAPES around 2000 to 2500 J/KG this afternoon for that area. Radar showing some convection over northern Converse and Niobrara Counties this afternoon. Strongest storms up over northeastern Wyoming in Rapid City's area so far. Latest HRRR showing a few thunderstorms becoming strong after 22Z this afternoon across our northern counties with all convection coming to an end after 01Z/02Z. Current Watch runs to 02Z...so that looks pretty good. For Wednesday...Much drier and more stable conditions for Wednesday as upper ridge begins to build across our western CWA. Have PoPs pretty much zeroed out for Wednesday afternoon. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday) Issued at 225 PM MDT Tue Jul 9 2019 Dry and warm weather continues through Thursday as 700mb temperatures climb to +15 to +16C. Pretty warm surface temperatures with mid 90s in the Panhandle to the I-25 Corridor and upper 80s out west. Backdoor cold front still on track for Friday afternoon. Showers and thunderstorms expected to develop along this front Friday afternoon/evening. This front looks to stay with us through the weekend into next week. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon) Issued at 1135 AM MDT Tue Jul 9 2019 VFR conditions expected through the forecast period with gusty winds posing the main threat through 02Z this evening. Strongest winds will be seen near KLAR and KRWL with westerly winds gusting near 30 kts at times this afternoon. Will need to monitor the TAF near KCDR for timing and location of thunderstorms late Tuesday afternoon which may result in brief periods of reduced visibility in heavy rainfall and stronger winds. Additionally, a cold front will push through the area turning wind directions northerly for NE Panhandle terminals after 00Z. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 225 PM MDT Tue Jul 9 2019 Cold front moving through the northern Nebraska Panhandle as well as Converse and Niobrara Counties could produce a few severe thunderstorms this afternoon. These storms expected to end early...before sunset today as the front moves east. Drier weather for Wednesday and Thursday with afternoon humidity falling to critical levels...especially along and west of the Laramie Range. Fortunately...fuels are still being reported green and winds are not expected to be too strong over the upcoming days. So fire weather concerns are minor. Next chance for wetting rains and thunderstorms return Friday afternoon as a cold front moves in from the north. Areas along and east of the Laramie Range stand the best chances for seeing these wetting rains. && .CYS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WY...None. NE...None. && SHORT TERM...GCC LONG TERM...GCC AVIATION...MB FIRE WEATHER...GCC
