Area forecast discussion 
National Weather Service Cheyenne Wyoming 
305 PM MDT Friday Jul 18 2008 


Short term...tonight through Sunday...stronger convection this 
afternoon has been north and south of County Warning Area with better upper 
dynamics. Per laps data and Storm Prediction Center day1 outlook though...potential 
still exists for some strong storms along and east of a line from 
kdgw to Kimball Nebraska into middle evening. Much of that area was 
hindered a bit by cool outflow air and subsidence behind early 
morning convection. Best coverage of thunderstorms should be over the 
northern County Warning Area...and another mesoscale convective system is hinted at by the models over 
northestern Wyoming/western South Dakota later tonight. On Saturday...rising upper 
heights and westerly flow aloft will prevail. Have kept forecast 
dry on Saturday as air mass will be drier/less unstable. Upper 
heights continue to rise Sunday with an upper high building 
over Colorado. Some moisture and instability will be present over 
and near the mountains Sunday afternoon...so a low pop there 
looks good. Kept the rest of County Warning Area dry into Sunday afternoon. 


Long term...Sunday night through Friday... 
an upper ridge will be located over or just south of the forecast 
area...and will be the primary influence on the weather Monday through 
Friday. Middle and upper level monsoonal moisture will drift northward and 
northeastward on the back side of the upper ridge...but the best 
moisture will remain largely to our south. Enough moisture will make 
it over the forecast area to warrant a chance of mainly afternoon 
and evening thunderstorms almost daily. Temperatures will be above 
average Monday through Friday. 


&& 


Aviation...overall...VFR conditions expected tonight through 
Saturday night. Some thunderstorms this evening may briefly reduce ceilings 
and visibilities into MVFR category...especially at kdgw/Lusk and kcdr. 
These same locations may also have a low cloud deck and some fog 
late tonight and early Saturday morning. 


&& 


Fire weather...Saturday will bring hot temperatures and low humidities 
with near red flag conditions developing over Albany and Carbon 
counties. Winds will mainly stay in the range of 15g25 miles per hour 
though so held off on a watch for now.

Cys watches/warnings/advisories... 
Wyoming...none.
