AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHEYENNE WY
922 PM MST TUE JAN 31 2006

.DISCUSSION...MAIN CONCERN FOR THE FORECAST CONTINUES TO BE WINDS
FOR LATE TONIGHT THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY EVENING OVER MUCH OF THE
CWA.  SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS AND WINDS ALOFT INCREASE
LATE TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY.  EARLY THIS EVENING FOUR MILLIBAR
3 HOUR SURFACE PRESSURE FALLS HAD SPREAD EAST INTO WESTERN MONTANA.
BY 00Z THURSDAY THE 300 MB JET IS RIGHT OVER THE CWA.  USING THE
700MB AND 850MB HEIGHT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN KCAG AND KCPR YIELDS 80
METERS CENTERED AROUND 18Z FROM THE NAM.  WIND DIRECTION AT THIS
TIME APPEARS TO FAVOR THE WIND CORRIDOR AND AREAS FAVORING A
SOUTHWEST OR WEST GRADIENT...WITH PERHAPS MUCH OF THE SOUTHEAST
WYOMING PLAINS NOT REACHING HIGH WIND CRITERIA.  ONE NEGATIVE FACTOR
COULD BE THAT THE NAM DEPICTS RISING AIR IN THE MID LEVELS.  WILL GO
AHEAD AND ISSUE A HIGH WIND WARNING FOR THE WIND CORRIDOR IN THE
WEST PART OF THE CWA FOR WEDNESDAY AND KEEP THE HIGH WIND WATCH IN
PLACE FOR THE REST OF SOUTHEAST WYOMING.  OTHER CONCERN IS THE
OROGRAPHIC SNOW ON WEDNESDAY FOR THE SNOWY AND SIERRA MADRE RANGES.
HAVE INCREASED POPS AND SNOW AMOUNTS IN THE WEST PART OF THE
CWA...ESPECIALLY THE MOUNTAINS FOR WEDNESDAY.  CONSIDERED A WINTER
HIGHLIGHT FOR THE MOUNTAINS ON WEDNESDAY...BUT WILL MENTION 2 TO 4
INCHES OF SNOW ALONG WITH THE WINDS.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION ISSUED AT 305 PM...

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH THURS. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWING
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVING ACROSS WYOMING...WITH ASSOCIATED COLD
FRONT MOVING ACROSS FAR SOUTHEAST WYOMING.  FOR MUCH OF THE DAY
CHEYENNE WAS MOSTLY CLEAR UNTIL THE FRONT APPROACHED.  WE WERE UP TO
49F DEGS WHEN THE FRONT DROPPED TEMPERATURES DOWN TO 34F DEGS AND
WINDS SHIFTED TO THE NORTH WITH GUSTS UP TO 30 MPH. SEVERAL LOCATION
RECEIVED SNOW OR RAIN MIX SNOW WHEN THE FRONT MOVED THROUGH. RADAR
REFLECTIVITY SHOWS SOME STRONGER ECHOES EXTENDING FROM ROCK RIVER
THROUGH WHITAKER WHICH COULD BE RECEIVING SOME LIGHT SNOW.  EXPECT
SHOWERS TO DIMINISH AFTER 5 PM MST...WITH SLIGHT CHANCE SHOWERS
LINGERING OVER THE MOUNTAINS WEST OF LARAMIE.  FRONT WILL CONTINUE
TO MARCH ACROSS NEBRASKA PANHANDLE...WITH WINDS PICKING UP OVER THE
REGION. LATEST OBSERVATION AT SIDNEY SHOWED WINDS GUSTING TO 44 MPH
AND LIGHT RAIN OVER ALLIANCE AT 230 PM MST.  HAVE KEPT IN A SLIGHT
CHANCE POPS FOR PORTIONS OF NEBRASKA PANHANDLE EARLY THIS
EVENING...BUT SHOWERS SHOULD DIMINISH BY EARLY EVENING.  NEXT
CONCERN IN SHORT TERM WILL BE WINDS FOR WEDNESDAY.  ALL MODELS SHOW
50 TO 60 KNOTS OVER SOUTHEAST WYOMING AT 700MB BY 12Z WEDNESDAY.
HAVE DECIDED TO ISSUE A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR ALL OF SOUTHEAST WYOMING
BETWEEN 6AM AND 5PM MST WEDNESDAY. TRAVELERS SHOULD USE CAUTION AND
WINDS COULD POTENTIALLY BE SUSTAINED AT 40MPH AND GUST UP TO 60MPH
IN LOWER ELEVATIONS.  ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO MOVE
INTO THE AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY...BRINGING ANOTHER
CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION TO SOUTHEAST WYOMING AND NEBRASKA PANHANDLE.

LONG TERM...THU NIGHT THROUGH TUE. FAST NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT
WILL PREVAIL FROM THU NIGHT THROUGH FRI NIGHT. AN UPPER RIDGE WILL
MOVE OVER THE AREA SATURDAY THEN THE FLOW WILL BACK TO SOUTHWESTERLY
SAT NIGHT AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING TROUGH. THE TROUGH WILL MOVE OVER
THE AREA SUNDAY THEN UPPER FLOW WILL BECOME NORTHWESTERLY SUN NIGHT.
NORTHWESTERLY FLOW IS ON TAP FOR MON AND TUE. AT THE SURFACE...FRI
WILL BE MODESTLY COLDER WITH AREAS OF BRISK WINDS. SOME MID LEVEL
MOISTURE FRI WILL WARRANT LOW GRADE POPS PRIMARILY OVER THE
MOUNTAINS. SURFACE LEESIDE TROUGHING SAT WILL COMBINE WITH RISING
HEIGHTS TO PRODUCE A MILDER AND DRY DAY. A COLD FRONT WILL BLOW
THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA SUN MORNING. SUN WILL BE A RAW DAY WITH A
CHANCE OF LIGHT SNOW...POSSIBLY MIXED WITH RAIN EAST OF THE LARAMIE
RANGE. WEAK LOW LEVEL COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL CONTINUE MON BUT
DECREASING MOISTURE FORETELLS OF A MAINLY DRY DAY. TUE LOOKS LIKE IT
WILL BE DRY WITH TEMPERATURES APPROXIMATELY NORMAL.
