SHORT TERM. (This evening through Thursday) Issued at 104 PM MDT Wed Aug 5 2020

Scattered thunderstorms, some of which will be severe are still expected to track east/southeast across eastern Colorado through this evening. Models have been persistently showing the initial storms forming over and near the foothills early to mid afternoon. Storms then progress eastward onto the plains. With MLCAPE of 1000- 2000 J/kg and decent shear, a few supercell thunderstorms with large hail and damaging winds will be possible. Tornado threat is quite low, but not zero. Storms progress eastward at a good clip and should be east of the area by mid to late evening.

The upper level ridge axis that has been off to the west of Colorado shifts eastward over the state Thursday. This will bring warmer and drier air. A surface trough will be over eastern Colorado. To the west of it, flow aloft and at the surface will be westerly and usher in drier air. Here, just isolated high based showers thunderstorms are expected. Main concern to watch with these will be gusty outflow winds. To the east of the surface trough, southeast low level winds will hold low level moisture over the far eastern plains. A better chance for thunderstorms will occur here. These storms will be stronger and capable of producing heavy rain, gusty winds, and hail. Can't rule out a couple of severe thunderstorms as well.

LONG TERM. (Thursday night through Wednesday) Issued at 104 PM MDT Wed Aug 5 2020

High pressure over the southern and southwest part of the country the dominant feature for our forecast through the extended period. Center of the upper ridge starts out over Texas, then shifts west and flattens through the weekend. A trough will move into the Pacific NW Thursday night, then pass west to east along the Canadian border Friday-Saturday. After the trough passage the ridge rebuilds again early next week.

Thursday night will see the day's convective activity exiting the eastern plains. Best instability along the area from Lincoln to Sedgwick counties Thursday evening, and then stabilizing through the night.

With the trough moving into the Pac NW our mid level flow turns more southwesterly, advecting much drier air into Colorado from the Great Basin and pushing the moisture east. Dry and warm Friday through Monday. A weak wave will move through the region on Saturday, turning low level winds northerly, but too dry to spark any storms.

Moisture increases Tuesday & Wednesday with precipitable water nearing an inch on the eastern plains but remaining a half inch or less from I-25 west. Precip chances will increase a little, with widely scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms in the high terrain and eastern plains.

For temps through the period, 700 mb temps in the mid teens the entire time with little variation in daily high temps. 90s on the plains and 70s/80s in the mountains. Higher moisture and clouds toward the end of the forecast period will limit max temps on the eastern plains. Wide diurnal swings in temps however with the low humidity levels, and nightime lows in the 40s-50s mountains and around 60 on the plains.

Fire weather concerns will be elevated Friday through Monday with daytime heat and low humidity levels. Minimum relative humidity will drop into the low to mid teens through the period, drying fuels. Wind will be 10-15 mph however, well below red flag criteria.

AVIATION. (For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday afternoon) Issued at 104 PM MDT Wed Aug 5 2020

East to southeast winds are expected to prevail prior to thunderstorm development this afternoon. Scattered thunderstorms will continue form over the foothills and I-25 Corridor and then spread eastward. If an airport takes a direct hit from a strong storm, winds to 50 knots and large hail will be possible. After 00Z, the threat of storms looks low. Winds this evening will be east to southeast and then become more southerly by midnight. For Thursday, isolated high based thunderstorms will be possible. Main threat with this will be gusty outflow winds producing wind shifts.

BOU WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. None.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
