.SHORT TERM...
COLD FRONT SWEEPS TROUGH THE CWA TODAY. STRONG FROGEN IN THE MID
LEVELS SO CHANCES FOR PRECIP BEHIND THE FRONT. BUFR SOUNDINGS
SUGGEST ABOUT A ONE HOUR WINDOW PER LOCATION FOR PRECIP. SOUNDINGS
ALSO LEAN TOWARDS AN ALL SNOW SOLUTION. BEST CHANCES ACROSS THE NORTH
WITH STRONGEST FORCING. TEMPERATURES A REAL PROBLEM. USED A BLEND OF
NAM AND GFSMOS. NAM CARRIES SOME STRONG WAA BEHIND THE INITIAL SHOT
OF STRONG CAA...POSSIBLE DUE TO CLEARING SKIES AND GOOD MIXING. GFS
DOES NOT HAVE THIS...BUT BOTH 00Z AND 06Z NAM DID SO CANNOT
DISCOUNT. DEPENDING ON CLEARING...READING WILL EITHER PLATEAU OR
FALL...OR IF NAM VERIFIES WARM SLIGHTLY. WINDS WILL BE GUSTY AS
WELL BEHIND THE FRONT BUT OF SHORT DURATION ACCORDING TO THE
MODELS SO WILL HOLD OFF ON ADVISORY. HIGH PRESURE WILL SLIDE
SOUTHEAST TOWARD THE AREA AND THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL CONTINUE
TO TIGHTEN AS LOW PRESSURE WORKS ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES INTO
FRIDAY. THIS WILL CAUSE WEATHER PROBLEMS IN THE CWA. HEIGHTS WILL
CONTINUE TO LOWER AND ATMOSPHERE WILL BECOME SAUTRATED NEAR H8 AND
LOWER WHICH WILL BE -14C OR SO. ANY LIFT WILL PRODUCE DRY SNOW.
COULD BE A PROLONGED LIGHT SNOW SCENARIO...ESPECIALLY SANDHILLS
AND NORTH. IN ADDITION...WINDS WILL BE HOWLING OUT OF THE NORTH.
GUIDANCE IN WESTERN ZONES HAS DECREASED SLIGHTLY...BUT WILL ISSUE A
HIGH WIND WATCH FOR THE PANHANDLE AS THE POTENTIAL EXISTS. 55KT AT
H7 IN THE NAM. THIS ENTIRE SCENARIO LASTS INTO FRIDAY NIGHT AND
BOTH THE NAM AND GFS DO NOT LEAVE MUCH DOUBT THAT THE PATTERN WILL
EVOLVE IN THIS WAY. QUESTION WILL BE MAGNITUDE OF WINDS AND RATE
OF SNOWFALL/FLURRIES THAT OCCURS.

.LONG TERM...
RESIDUALLY COOL ON SATURDAY BEFORE A WARMUP FOR SUNDAY. NW FLOW
ALOFT MONDAY AND TUESDAY WITH LIKELY SEASONABLE OR WARMER TEMPERATURES.
ANOTHER CHANCE FOR COLD AIR AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. NOTHING
IN THE LATEST MODEL TO SUGGEST A NEGATIVELY TILTED TROUGH WHICH
WOULD ALLOW FOR GULF MOISTURE TO MAKE IT INTO THE REGION.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
FRONT AT 09Z LOOKS TO BE ON THE SD DOORSTEP. SOME LIGHT SN IN MT
BEHIND. SURFACE TROUGH EXTENDS SOUTH FROM THE FRONT ACROSS EASTERN
WY AND CO. SOUTHERLY WINDS ACROSS THE CWA WITH TEMPS STILL IN THE
20S. WV HAS LOW MOVING EAST ACROSS SOUTHERN CANADA WITH LIMITED
FETCH OF MOISTURE FROM THE PACIFIC. UPPER LOW IS NEAR THE BAJA
COAST.

&&

.LBF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
HIGH WIND WATCH FROM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON FOR
NEZ004-NEZ022-NEZ056.
