.DISCUSSION...
254 AM MST MON JAN 12 2009

FORECAST FOCI ARE ON THE POTENTIAL FOR PRECIPITATION THIS
MORNING OVER MAINLY THE WESTERN SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA
ALONG WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR WINDY CONDITIONS DURING THE DAY
TODAY.

THE PREFRONTAL SURFACE TROUGH IS MOVING EAST ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA AS THE MAIN COLD PUSH BEHIND THE SURFACE LOW CENTER MOVES
SOUTHEAST THROUGH SOUTHEAST MONTANA AND FAR NORTHWEST SOUTH
DAKOTA. SLIGHTLY STRONGER WINDS AND SOME FLURRIES AND LIGHT SNOW
ARE MAKING THEIR WAY INTO THE TRI-STATE REGION ON THE BACK SIDE OF
THE SURFACE TROUGH WITH THE MAIN INCREASE IN WIND STILL BACK
BEHIND THE MAIN COLD SURGE.

EXPECT THE BEST...ALTHOUGH WEAK...POSSIBILITY OF PRECIPITATION TO
BE THIS MORNING IN THE WEAKLY UPSLOPE REGION OVER EASTERN COLORADO
AHEAD OF THE SURFACE FRONT AND BEST LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHORT
WAVE TROUGH SWEEPING THROUGH THE AREA AROUND MID DAY TODAY.
SUBSIDENCE BEHIND THE UPPER TROUGH ALONG WITH A TIGHTENING SURFACE
GRADIENT ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE SURFACE LOW WILL BRING WINDY
CONDITIONS TO THE TRI-STATE REGION BY LATE MORNING. THESE
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING HOURS
AS STRONG 850-700MB WINDS ARE BROUGHT DOWN TO THE SURFACE. WILL
STAY THE COURSE ON THE WIND ADVISORY TODAY AND ALLOW THE DAY SHIFT
TO PROVIDE FURTHER UPDATES ON THE WIND HIGHLIGHTS DURING THE DAY.
DRYER AIR MOVES INTO THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON...PUTTING AN END
TO ANY POSSIBILITY OF PRECIPITATION.

HAVE CHANGED LITTLE TO NOTHING IN THE EXTENDED PERIODS AS
CONDITIONS APPEAR TO REMAIN DRY THROUGH THE REST OF THE WORK WEEK.
THE UPPER NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT PERSISTS THROUGH THE NORTHERN
PLAINS STATES AND INTO THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY REGION AS A RESULT
OF THE HIGH AMPLITUDE RIDGE OVER HE FAR WEST U.S. AND BROAD TROUGH
OVER THE EASTERN UNITED STATES. THIS WILL CARRY ADDITIONAL STEMS
MOVING THROUGH THE NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT TO THE EAST OF THE
FORECAST AREA. THERE IS A HINT OF PRECIPITATION AS A DEEPER TROUGH
OF LOW PRESSURE DIVES FURTHER INTO THE SOUTHWEST U.S. SATURDAY
NIGHT AND EARLY SUNDAY...BUT HAVE KEPT THE DRY CONDITIONS INTACT
GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY OF THIS SOLUTION AND SPEED WITH WHICH THE
UPPER FLOW IS CARRYING SYSTEMS ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA.
