CURRENT WIND ADV AND HIGH WIND WARNINGS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE. 20Z SFC

WESTERN HALF OF THE AREA AFTER SUNSET AND CONTINUING THROUGH 06Z
OVER THE EAST. A SECONDARY COLD FRONT WILL SLIDE DOWN THE NE PLAINS
TONIGHT...TURNING WINDS TO THE NORTH AND USHERING IN COLDER AIR.

STRUGGLED A BIT WITH SNOW COVERAGE AND AMOUNTS AFTER SUNSET TONIGHT
INTO SATURDAY ACROSS THE NE CORNER OF THE STATE. CURRENT THINKING IS
TO KEEP BEST ACCUMS OVER THE RATON RIDGE AND NORTHERN HALF OF UNION
COUNTY WHERE BEST UPSLOPE WILL OCCUR. MODELS ARE INDICATING THE
WINDS WILL ATTEMPT TO VEER AND BECOME MORE UPSLOPE THROUGH SATURDAY
MORNING OVER THE EAST SLOPES OF THE SANGRES WHERE A COUPLE INCHES IS
POSSIBLE. COMBO OF STRONG WINDS AND SNOW WILL CREATE BLOWING SNOW
OVER THE NE CORNER THRU 18Z SATURDAY...THEN WINDS ARE THE CONCERN.

VERY COOL CONDITIONS CONTINUE INTO SATURDAY BEFORE RIDGING ATTEMPTS
TO BUILD INTO THE AREA SUNDAY AND MONDAY. TEMPS WILL MODIFY NICELY
WITH NEAR NORMAL CONDITIONS BY MONDAY. THE RIDGE FLATTENS TUESDAY

STRONG WINDS HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE SOME LOCALIZED
SIGNIFICANT DRIFTS IN FAVORED LOCATIONS. SNOW TAPERING OFF LATE
SATURDAY AS SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT SLACKENS TO EASE WIND SPEEDS.

FLAG CRITERIA FOR THE NORTHEAST PLAINS TUESDAY AFTERNOON IN VICINITY
OF THE DEEPENING LEE TROUGH...WITH HUMIDITIES RUNNING IN THE LOW
TEENS. STRENGTHENING SOUTHWEST WINDS ALOFT WEDNESDAY COMBINED WITH
DEEPENING OF THE LEE TROUGH WILL PRODUCE MORE WIDESPREAD CRITICAL
FIRE WEATHER WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...MAINLY FROM THE EASTERN SLOPES OF
THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN EAST AND NORTH...WITH SOME LOCAL SPOTS
GOING CRITICAL NEAR THE ARIZONA LINE. SUBSTANTIAL UPTICK IN WIND
SPEEDS ALOFT UNDER AMPLIFYING TROUGH ON THURSDAY...WITH SHOWERS AND
CLOUD COVER WORKING NORTHWARD OVER WESTERN NEW MEXICO SPREADING
EASTWARD THROUGHOUT THE DAY. PRECIPITATION WILL BE WETTING AND
LOCALLY HEAVY OVER THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE AND NORTHWEST MOUNTAINS
AS STRONG COLD FRONT RETURNS TEMPERATURES TO DOUBLE DIGITS BELOW
NORMAL IN ANOTHER SUBSTANTIAL WINTRY WEATHER PATTERN. ON THE DRY
SIDE OF THE PRECIPITATION TO THE EAST...GUSTY WINDS IN VICINITY OF A
DEEPENING LEE TROUGH WILL PRODUCE ANOTHER DAY OF WIDESPREAD CRITICAL
FIRE WEATHER OVER THE EASTERN PLAINS. SHY
