AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

232 PM MDT TUE JUN 3 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER TROUGH WILL DEVELOP INTO A STRONG UPPER LOW OVER THE GREAT
BASIN WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL BRING STRONG WINDS AND DUSTY CONDITIONS
TO THE BORDERLAND WEDNESDAY...WITH WINDS INCREASING AGAIN ON
THURSDAY FOR SOME BLOWING DUST BOTH DAYS. TEMPERATURES WILL COME
SLIGHTLY DOWN BOTH DAYS...INTO THE UPPER 90S AT DESERT
LOCATIONS...BUT LIKELY CLIMB BACK TO THE TRIPLE DIGITS BY SATURDAY
AS WINDS DIMINISH.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
UNUSUAL LATE SPRING/EARLY SUMMER PATTERN AS SUBTROPICAL HIGH
CONTINUES ITS COLLAPSE SOUTHWARD...TO BE REPLACED BY STRONG ZONAL
FLOW AS MAIN STORM TRACK LOWERS INTO THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE U.S.
DEVELOPING UPPER TROUGH OVER THE GULF OF ALASKA WILL CLOSE OFF INTO
UPPER LOW OVER THE GREAT BASIN WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL INCREASE THE
WINDS ALOFT AND HELP INDUCE SURFACE TROUGHING OVER SOUTHEASTERN
COLORADO. WILL GO WITH LOW END WIND ADVISORY FOR NOW...BUT WILL HAVE
TO WATCH HOW QUICKLY SURFACE TROUGH/LOW DEEPENS TOMORROW MORNING.
RAPID DEEPENING WOULD ALLOW WINDS TO BRIEFLY APPROACH HIGH WIND
WARNING CRITERIA.

WILL GO WINDY AGAIN ON THURSDAY BUT NOT QUITE AS HIGH. STILL SOME
DIFFERENCE IN MODELS. GFS SHOWS STRONGEST MID LEVEL WINDS COMING
THROUGH OVERNIGHT TONIGHT...WHILE NAM SHOWING SAME CORE WINDS COMING
THROUGH CLOSER TO THURSDAY NOONTIME. IF NAM DOES TURN OUT CORRECT
ADVISORIES MAY BE NEEDED AGAIN THURSDAY. ANOTHER UPPER LOW WITH
SERIES OF SHORT WAVES SWEEPS ACROSS THE U.S. FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.
PATH OF THESE FEATURES ARE FARTHER NORTH SO THE AREA SHOULD BE
SPARED THE STRONGEST WINDS...THOUGH WINDS STILL REACHING BREEZY
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.
