AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

245 PM MDT WED APR 11 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE ALOFT WILL MOVE TO NORTHERN NEW
MEXICO THURSDAY AFTERNOON...BRINGING STRONG WINDS AND A FEW CLOUDS
TO THE AREA. A WIND ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. THE TROUGH EXITS THE AREA FRIDAY...ALLOWING THE WINDS TO
DIMINISH BY AFTERNOON BUT USHERING IN A COUPLE DAYS OF COOLER
SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES. ANOTHER UPPER TROUGH MOVES TO THE AREA
SUNDAY...BRINGING WARMER TEMPERATURES AND ANOTHER BOUT OF STRONG
WINDS.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
STRONG WIND SYSTEM STILL ON COURSE FOR THURSDAY. PACIFIC FRONT
CURRENTLY INTO WESTERN NEVADA/CENTRAL CALIFORNIA. MODELS PRETTY
SIMILAR IN BRINGING SUPPORTING UPPER TROUGH INTO CENTRAL ARIZONA
THURSDAY AFTERNOON. SYSTEM A BIT SLOW TO USE MAX MIXING DOWN
WINDS...BUT SHOULD STILL REACH ADVISORY LEVELS LATE AFTERNOON AND
LAST MUCH OF THE NIGHT. STRONGEST PRESSURE GRADIENT AND MID LEVEL
WINDS ARRIVE SHORTLY AFT 00Z THURSDAY. LOOK FOR STRONGEST WINDS TO
BEGIN MID/LATE AFTERNOON THROUGH AROUND MIDNIGHT...WITH VERY STRONG
GUSTS CONTINUING ALONG EAST SLOPES OF TERRAIN TIL AROUND DAYBREAK
FRIDAY. SURFACE FRONT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT WILL ALLOW GRADIENT
WINDS TO EASE SOME BUT LAGGING UPPER TROUGH WONT PASS TIL MID DAY
FRIDAY SO STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS WILL REMAIN FRIDAY MORNING. GOOD
DYNAMICS ALOFT WITH PVA AND LEFT FRONT QUADRANT OVER AREA THURSDAY
NIGHT SO POPS OVER THE NORTHERN TIER OF ZONES LOOKS GOOD. NOT SURE
HOW WIDESPREAD POOR VISIBILITIES WILL BE BUT AIRMASS WILL BE
SOMEWHAT UNSTABLE...LENDING TO GOOD DUST TRANSPORT.

WINDS TO SLOWLY DIMINISH THROUGH THE DAY FRIDAY WITH MUCH COOLER
TEMPERATURES IN THE PACIFIC AIRMASS. SHORTWAVE RIDGE MOVES OVER AREA
SATURDAY KEEPING SKIES MOSTLY CLEAR BUT NOT MUCH REBOUND IN
TEMPERATURES. NEXT UPPER TROUGH TO MOVE OVER ARIZONA SUNDAY FOR
ANOTHER SHOT OF STRONG WINDS. AT THIS TIME LOOKS TO BE ON THE BORDER
OF MINIMUM ADVISORY CRITERIA. TROUGH CLOSES INTO LOW OVER NORTHERN
NEW MEXICO MONDAY. SEVERAL CENTERS WITHIN THIS LOW ROTATING AROUND
WILL MEAN SLOW DEPARTURE TO THE SYSTEM AND RISK OF SHOWERS...THOUGH
HAVE NOT MENTIONED MUCH IN THE FORECAST YET. GFS FINALLY MOVES
SYSTEM OUT TUESDAY NIGHT.
