Area forecast discussion 
National Weather Service Grand Junction Colorado 
321 am MDT Thursday Aug 28 2008 


Short term...today through Friday night... 
dry west to northwest flow has settled over the forecast area this 
morning and will remain in place through Friday. Fairly quiet day 
expected with only a few high based cumulus expected over the higher 
terrain. Still have a sliver of moisture over the San Juans and an 
isolated late afternoon storm still possible. By Friday...a minor 
surge of moisture works into the San Juans to provide a few more 
storms...with some activity drifting across La Plata and Archuleta 
counties by late in the day. The remainder of the forecast area will 
stay on the dry side. Little change in temperatures through Friday night... 
with above normal readings continuing. More exciting weather arrives 
over the weekend. 


Long term...Saturday through Wednesday... 
main challenge this period is precipitation as a Pacific trough 
works into the Great Basin over the weekend. Models agreement has 
improved with trough having decent amplitude...and even shown to 
close off 500 mb low for a time over the northern Great Basin. Flow ahead 
of it allow for a good surge of subtropical moisture. Good dynamics 
and improving shear as a shortwave is forecast to lift across NE 
Utah/northwest Colorado Sun night and Monday. This could produce some some strong 
storms and heavy rainfall. Continued the trend set by the previous 
forecast shift and boosted probability of precipitation again for the Sunday afternoon 
through Monday afternoon period. Also raised dewpoints for sun-Mon. 
Drier weather expected Tuesday and Wednesday in the wake of this trough. 


&& 


Aviation... 
VFR conditions expected over the entire forecast area through 
18z Friday. An isolated thunderstorm is possible over the San Juan 
Mountains between 19z and 03z today and this evening...with gusty 
winds to 40 miles per hour and brief heavy rain. Any storms that do form will 
be short-lived. 


&& 


Gjt watches/warnings/advisories... 
Colorado...none. 
Utah...none.
