.DISCUSSION...(Today Through Monday)

Hot upper ridge remains in place today with low level thermal
profiles peaking today/Wednesday. Temperatures near
guidance...though thick smoke layer aloft may keep temperatures
from reaching full potential. Ridge begins its westward shift
Wednesday, allowing cold front to slip into northeast
Wyoming/northwest South Dakota Wednesday morning...then through
the remainder of the area by Wednesday evening. Post frontal
thunderstorms possible late Wednesday/Wednesday night. Ridge
amplifies over the Rockies going into the weekend, with northwest
flow over the Northern Plains. This will result in near average
temperatures along with a daily chance of thunderstorms.
