236 AM MST SUN MAR 26 2006

.SHORT TERM...FOR TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY...UPPER TROUGH IS RAPIDLY
APPROACHING SE WYOMING THIS HOUR WITH A TIGHTENING SURFACE LOW
BENEATH IT.  GRADIENT PRODUCTS CONTINUE TO ALARM A HIGH WIND EVENT
TODAY THAT WILL AFFECT MOST OF THE CWA.  700MB WIND MAXIMA IS
PROGGED TO BE DIRECTLY OVER SE WYOMING BY GFS AND NAM. A DRY FROPA
WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE CWA FROM WEST TO EAST BETWEEN 16Z AND 20Z
BRINGING BORA SUBSIDENCE WINDS WITH IT ADDING TO THE WIND EVENT.
LOTS OF ENERGY WITH THIS SYSTEM BUT SPARSE MOISTURE...THUS THE
MOUNTAINS WILL SEE THE GREATEST CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS WITH A SECOND
POSSIBLE AREA OF SHOWERS IN THE NORTHERN PANHANDLE CLOSER TO THE
MAIN CIRCULATION.  MODELS DO KEY ON SOME WEAK INSTABILITY THAT MIGHT
ALLOW A FEW ISOLATED TSMS TO TOUCH OFF THIS AFTERNOON IN THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS.  OTHERWISE...MOST OF THE PLAINS WILL BE DRY TODAY.
MONDAY WILL SEE THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN UPPER RIDGE WITH CLEARING
SKIES AND WARMER TEMPERATURES THAT WILL LAST INTO EARLY TUESDAY.  BY
LATE TUESDAY THE NEXT SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO AFFECT THE WESTERN ZONES
WITH CLOUDS AND SLIGHT CHANCE POPS.

.LONG TERM...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...UPPER RIDGE OVER THE
AREA BEGINS TO MAKE ROOM FOR A PACIFIC SYSTEM ON TUESDAY NIGHT.
WEDNESDAY COULD BE QUITE WARM WITH SOUTHWEST FLOW AHEAD OF THE
DIGGING PACIFIC TROUGH. TEMPS ARE STILL PRETTY CONSERVATIVE BUT
SOME 70S ARE POSSIBLE ON THE PANHANDLE IF THIS PATTERN OCCURS.
COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE
A BIG PRECIP MAKER WITH THE BEST DYNAMICS A LITTLE TOO FAR NORTH
FOR A SIGNIFICANT EVENT. A MOIST ZONAL FLOW PERSISTS THEREAFTER.
