SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...WITH RELATIVELY CLEAR SKIES ACROSS MUCH
OF SW WY TODAY..SUFFICIENT DAYTIME HEATING HAS CREATED AN UNSTABLE
ATMOSPHERE SUPPORTIVE OF CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT.  LATEST GOES VIS
IMAGERY INDICATES CONVECTION HAS BEGUN TO DEVELOP IN LAST HR INVOF
CARBON AND ALBANY COUNTIES IN SW WY AND NORTH-CENTRAL CO COUNTIES OF
ROUTT/JACKSON/LARIMER.  AS OF NOW CLOUD TOPS ARE VERY WARM (-26C)..BUT
ARE EXPECTED TO COOL RAPIDLY IN NEXT 1-3 HRS.  FURTHER DEVELOPMENT AND
INTENSIFICATION OF THESE CONVECTIVE CELLS IS EXPECTED WITH ENHANCED
UVVS FROM A W-E ORIENTED S/WV MOVING DUE NORTH ACROSS CENTRAL CO PER WV
ANALYSIS.  CURRENTLY THINKING IS CONVECTION WILL MOVE SLOWLY NORTHWARD
ACROSS EAST-CENTRAL WY THIS AFTERNOON WHERE A SFC BOUNDARY AND BEST SFC
MOISTURE CONVERGENCE RESIDES.  LLVL MOISTURE AXIS EXTENDS SE-NW FROM
W NE INTO E WY AND 40-45KT ESE 925-850MB WINDS WILL HELP TO PROVIDE
INCREASING MOISTURE TRANSPORT INTO THE DISCUSSION AREA.

RAINFALL WILL BE HVY AT TIMES WITH THE POTENTIAL OF UP TO 0.50”
(MAYBE SOME LOCALIZED 0.75”) BETWEEN HOT SPRINGS AND CAMPBELL COUNTIES
SOUTHWARD BETWEEN CARBON AND LARAMIE COUNTIES IN EAST-CENTRAL WY.
