810 PM MDT MON JUL 12 2010

.DISCUSSION...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS PRIMARILY NORTH OF THE
SITE MAY CLIP THE AREA BEFORE DIMINISHING LATER THIS EVENING.

THROUGH THE AREA THIS EVENING BEFORE WINDS BECOME DOWNSLOPE
AFTER MIDNIGHT.

SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE
AREA DURING THE DAY TUESDAY...IN RESPONSE TO A WEATHER SYSTEM
MOVING THROUGH THE NORTHERN ROCKIES. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR AN
INCREASE IN AFTERNOON WINDS AT THE SITE...BUT ALSO PULL DRIER
AIR INTO THE REGION FROM THE SOUTHWEST. DESPITE THIS...THERE
REMAINS A SMALL THREAT FOR AFTERNOON BUILDUPS AND PERHAPS A
THUNDERSTORM OR TWO...MOST LIKELY DURING THE EARLY TO MID
AFTERNOON HOURS.

HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO RETURN TO THE REGION DURING THE
MIDDLE TO LATTER PORTION OF THE WEEK. THIS WILL RESULT IN A
WARMING TREND WITH A GRADUAL INCREASE IN MOISTURE.
