AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHEYENNE WY
309 AM MST WED DEC 24 2008

.SHORT TERM...A WEAK DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE CWA THIS
MORNING WITH THE NW FLOW ALOFT BECOMING WESTERLY BY THIS EVENING.
UPDATED HIGH WIND WATCH TO A HIGH WIND WARNING FOR THE MOUNTAINS
AND PLATTE COUNTY FOR TODAY THROUGH MID EVENING. 700 MB WIND
SPEEDS WILL BE 50 KNOTS DURING THIS TIME AND SEE NO REASON WHY
THEY WOULD NOT MAKE IT DOWN TO THE SURFACE IN THE WARNING AREA.
FOR TONIGHT...THE WEST FLOW WILL BECOME SW WITH A DISTURBANCE IN
THE SW FLOW MOVING ACROSS THE WY PORTION OF THE CWA AFTER MN. LOW
AND MID LEVEL MOISTURE WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
TONIGHT. SNOW SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP OVER THE SOUTHERN MOUNTAINS
TONIGHT WITH 3 TO 4 INCHES POSSIBLE BY MORNING. SW FLOW WILL CONT
ALOFT THUR AS AN UPPER TROUGH MOVES INLAND FROM THE WEST COAST AND
DEEPENS. SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO FALL ACROSS CARBON COUNTY DURING
THIS TIME...WHILE AREAS EAST OF THE LARAMIE RANGE EXPERIENCE BRISK
DOWNSLOPE WINDS AND MILD CONDITIONS. FOR THUR NIGHT...A STRONGER
DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE WEST AND NORTH PORTIONS OF THE
CWA AS THE UPPER TROUGH AXIS MOVES TO THE WESTERN WY BORDER BY 12Z
FRI. THIS WILL RESULT IN SNOW SPREADING FROM CARBON COUNTY INTO
CONVERSE AND ALBANY COUNTIES. SNOW AMOUNTS IN THE MOUNTAINS COULD
BE SIGNIFICANT...SO A WINTER HIGHLIGHT LOOKS LIKELY FOR THUR
AFTERNOON THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT. LESSER AMOUNTS OF SNOW WILL
OCCUR AT THE LOWER ELEVATIONS OF CARBON COUNTY...BUT A WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED FOR THUR NIGHT. SNOW AMOUNTS ACROSS
CONVERSE AND ALBANY COUNTIES BY 6 AM FRI WILL ONLY BE AN INCH OR
TWO. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE FROM 4 TO 7 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL
TODAY...AND THEN 5 TO 8 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL FOR THURSDAY.

.LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...
THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE POSITION OF
THE UPPER TROUGH AND SURFACE COLD FRONT THAT WILL AFFECT THE
FORECAST AREA EARLY IN THE LONG TERM FORECAST. ACTUALLY THE
SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL EXIT THE AREA TO THE SOUTH AND EAST BY
EARLY FRIDAY MORNING WITH TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO COOL BACK TO
AROUND 5 TO 10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL
THEN PASS OVER THE AREA THROUGH THE DAY FRIDAY WITH DECENT 700 MB
FRONTOGENESIS AND GOOD Q VECTOR CONVERGENCE ALOFT OF THE AREA
THROUGH THE DAY. HAVE INCREASED PRECIPITATION CHANCES ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST PORTION OF THE AREA FOR COORDINATION AND TO ACCOUNT FOR
THE AFOREMENTIONED SUPPORT FOR SNOW SHOWERS. 00Z GFS BUFR DATA FOR
CHEYENNE IS NOT AS SUPPORTIVE AS THE PLAN VIEW MODEL PROJECTIONS
WOULD IMPLY AS FAR AS AVAILABLE MOISTURE...SO HAVE NOT INCREASED
PRECIPITATION CHANCES VERY MUCH FOR FRIDAY.

SUBSIDENCE PREVAILS FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THE WEEKEND EXCEPT OVER
THE SIERRA MADRE AND SNOWY RANGES WHERE MOISTURE IN THE NORTHWEST
FLOW ALOFT WILL TRANSLATE INTO OROGRAPHIC SUPPORT FOR PERIODS OF
SNOW. THE TRICKY PART OF THE FORECAST WILL BE THE DEVELOPMENT OF
STRONG SURFACE WINDS BEGINNING FRIDAY NIGHT ACROSS THE HIGHER
TERRAIN AND FAVORED WINDY AREAS ALONG THE INTERSTATE CORRIDORS.
THE COMBINATION OF SNOW SHOWERS AND VERY STRONG WINDS OVER THE
SIERRA MADRE AND SNOWY RANGES WILL BE PRESENT THROUGH AROUND
MIDDAY SUNDAY WHEN THE WEAK RIDGE AXIS PASSES AND NEAR ZONAL FLOW
DEVELOPS FOR THE REST OF THE PERIOD. ALTHOUGH THE PRECIPITATION
CHANCES ARE EXPECTED TO DIMINISH...VERY STRONG WINDS WILL CONTINUE
TO BE PRESENT THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. THE GFS AND
EUROPEAN MODEL BOTH INDICATE A WEAK COLD FRONT ACROSS THE EASTERN
PORTION OF THE AREA TUESDAY ASSOCIATED WITH AN UPPER SHORT-WAVE
DISTURBANCE IN THE NORTHWEST FLOW.

.AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL OCCUR ACROSS THE AREA TODAY.
MOUNTAIN TOPS MAY BE OBSCURED DUE TO LOW CLOUDS. SNOW SHOWERS

CONTINUE THROUGH THURSDAY...RESULTING IN MVR CONDITIONS AND OBSCURED
MOUNTAIN TOPS. THE REST OF THE AREA WILL CONTINUE WITH VFR
CONDITIONS. FOR THURSDAY NIGHT...THE SNOW WILL SPREAD FROM CARBON
COUNTY AND INTO ALBANY AND CONVERSE COUNTIES. THUS THE AREA OF
