AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
1120 AM MDT FRI APR 3 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
216 AM MDT FRI APR 3 2009

ANALYSIS OF WATER VAPOR IMAGERY/UPPER AIR DATA INDICATED QUASI-
ZONAL MID/UPPER FLOW OVER THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS IN ADVANCE OF A
DEEPENING MID/UPPER TROUGH OVER THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST/GREAT BASIN
REGION.

FOLTZ
&&

.DISCUSSION...
216 AM MDT FRI APR 3 2009

FOCUS CONTINUES TO BE ON THE HEADACHE MAKER SET TO IMPACT THE TRI-
STATE REGION LATE TONIGHT CONTINUING THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY.

QUIET BEFORE THE STORM OVER THE AREA TODAY WITH AFTERNOON TEMPS
REACHING INTO THE MID 60S. ONLY FLY IN THE OINTMENT WILL BE BREEZY
SOUTHERLY WINDS. REAL FUN BEGINS LATE TONIGHT AS THE AFOREMENTIONED
MID/UPPER TROUGH EJECTS OUT OF THE DESERT SOUTHWEST AND INTO THE
CENTRAL PLAINS. DETERMINISTIC GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO BE IN
REASONABLE SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL AGREEMENT. PREPONDERANCE OF
GUIDANCE HAS SLOWED THE SYSTEM DOWN BY ABOUT 6 HOURS SO DROPPED
LOW SLIGHT CHANCE POPS WE HAD GOING OVER EASTERN COLORADO THIS
AFTERNOON AND TRENDED OVERNIGHT POPS DOWN A BIT AS WELL. NAM/GFS
BUFKIT VERTICAL PROFILES CONTINUE TO INDICATE 200 J/KG ELEVATED
CAPE SO INSERTED ISOLATED THUNDER MENTION THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY.

BY 15Z SATURDAY...SHOULD BEGIN TO SEE TRANSITION TO SNOW OVER NORTHEAST
COLORADO WITH RAPIDLY INCREASING NORTHERLY WINDS. HAVE GONE AHEAD
AND HOISTED A WINTER STORM WARNING FOR YUMA COUNTY BEGINNING AT
15Z AND THE NEBRASKA ZONES STARTING AT 18Z. WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORY NOW IN PLACE GENERALLY ALONG AND NORTH OF HIGHWAY 40 WITH
THE EXCEPTION OF GOVE AND GRAHAM COUNTIES. STARTED THIS AT 15Z
OVER EASTERN COLORADO WITH THE REMAINING AREAS STARTING AT 18Z.

NAM/GFS 295-305K ISENTROPIC SURFACES CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE STRONG
FORCING FOR ASCENT SITUATED PRIMARILY OVER SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA AND
NORTHEAST COLORADO SATURDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY. KEY TO
HEAVIEST BAND OF SNOW WILL BE LOCATION OF THE DEFORMATION ZONE.
SLIGHT PLACEMENT DIFFERENCE EXIST BETWEEN THE NCEP GUIDANCE AND
THE 03/00Z UKMET WHICH HAS THE H7 LOW FURTHER SOUTH. IF THIS SOLUTION
VERIFIES...WOULD LIKELY NEED TO UPGRADE CURRENT WW.Y TO A WS.W.

AM CONCERNED ABOUT POTENTIAL FOR NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS OVER THE
AREA CURRENTLY COVERED BY THE WS.W. GFS/NAM BUFKIT PROFILES INDICATE
LIKELIHOOD OF TAPPING INTO 45+ MPH WINDS LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON
AND THROUGH MUCH OF SATURDAY NIGHT. WILL NEED TO MONITOR THIS
CLOSELY AS UPGRADE TO BLIZZARD WARNING MIGHT BECOME NECESSARY.

SYSTEM BEGINS TO WIND DOWN BY MID-DAY SUNDAY. MOST PRECIP SHOULD
BE EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA BY 12Z BUT TIGHT SURFACE PRESSURE
GRADIENT WILL ALLOW FOR CONTINUATION OF STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS
WHICH IS WHY I OPTED TO MAINTAIN THE WS.W THROUGH 18Z.

MID/UPPER RIDGE BEGINS TO BUILD OVER THE DESERT SOUTHWEST ON SUNDAY
WITH SUBSIDENT NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT OVER THE CWA. HAVE MAINTAINED
MAX TEMPS WELL BELOW GUIDANCE ON SUNDAY GIVEN ANTICIPATED SNOW
COVER OVER THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE CWA. RIDGE CONTINUES TO AMPLIFY
ON MONDAY ALLOWING TEMPS TO MODERATE TO SOME EXTENT...ESPECIALLY
OVER THE WESTERN HALF OF THE CWA.

NO CHANGES MADE BEYOND MONDAY NIGHT.

FOLTZ
&&

.AVIATION...
1120 AM MDT FRI APR 3 2009

FOR THE 18Z TAFS AT KGLD AND KMCK...GUSTY SOUTH WINDS OF 20 TO
30KTS WITH HIGHER GUSTS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AHEAD
OF A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IN EAST CENTRAL/NORTHEAST COLORADO. WINDS
WILL BACK TO THE EAST TONIGHT AS THE LOW MOVES TOWARD SOUTHWEST
KANSAS WITH A SHIFT TO THE WEST/NORTHWEST AT KGLD BETWEEN 12Z-15Z
AS THE LOW CONTINUES EAST. SPEEDS AT KGLD WILL INCREASE DURING THE
WIND SHIFT WITH SPEEDS OF 20G30KTS...HIGHEST BY 18Z.

MAY SEE SOME ISOLTD -TSRA AT KGLD BETWEEN 22Z-03Z WITH A GENERAL
MOTION QUICKLY TO THE NORTHEAST. FEEL THAT THEY WILL BE TOO FAR
AWAY FROM THE TERMINAL TO INCLUDE A VCTS AT THIS POINT.
OTHERWISE...IFR CIGS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE KGLD AREA BETWEEN
13Z-18Z ON THE BACKSIDE OF SURFACE LOW AS SATURATED BOUNDARY LAYER
MOISTURE MOVES IN. AT KMCK AM EXPECTING IFR CIGS BY 11Z OR SO. NOT
REAL EXCITED ABOUT PRECIPITATION AT EITHER SITE AS MOISTURE IS
SHALLOW THROUGH 18Z. COULD SEE SOME DRIZZLE GIVEN THE SATURATED
BOUNDARY LAYER AND MODEST WINDS SO HAVE INCLUDED IT IN BOTH TAFS.
