AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHEYENNE WY
317 AM MDT THU OCT 14 2010

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT.

TODAY...WARM AND DRY TODAY WITH RIDGING ALOFT. HIGH TEMPERATURES 60S
WEST AND 70S EAST WITH 700 MB TEMPERATURES NEAR 8C AND 1000-500 MB
THICKNESSES NEAR 5750 METERS.

TONIGHT...FLOW ALOFT BECOMES ZONAL AS RIDGE AXIS ALOFT MOVES EAST.
THIS WILL INDUCE SURFACE LEE TROUGHING TO BECOME MORE ESTABLISHED...
PROVIDING INCREASED MIXING AND WARMER OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPERATURES.

FRIDAY...COMBINATION OF ZONAL FLOW ALOFT...LOW HUMIDITIES AND
DOWNSLOPE WEST WINDS WILL PRODUCE A MILD DAY FOR MID OCTOBER WITH
HIGH TEMPERATURES FROM THE UPPER 60S WEST TO LOWER 80S ACROSS
PORTIONS OF WESTERN NEBRASKA.

FRIDAY NIGHT...DRY COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE ACROSS OUR COUNTIES
ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROGRESSIVE SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING EAST ACROSS
THE DAKOTAS. DECENT MIXING WILL KEEP MINIMUM TEMPERATURES WARMER
THAN ONE WOULD EXPECT.

.LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

SIGNIFICANT PATTERN CHANGE IN THE FLOW ALOFT WILL OCCUR OVER THE
WEEKEND AS AN ANOMALOUSLY STRONG UPPER RIDGE BEGINS TO BE REPLACED
BY MORE CLIMATOLOGICALLY NORMAL LOWER HEIGHTS WITH A TROUGH ACROSS
THE CENTRAL CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES. SPLIT FLOW ACROSS THE EASTERN
PACIFIC OCEAN EARLY IN THE WEEKEND WILL ALLOW FOR TWO MAIN AREAS OF
UPPER LEVEL ENERGY TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE COUNTRY WITH THE STRONGER
UPPER LOW OVER EASTERN CANADA. ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL DEVELOP
ALONG THE CALIFORNIA COAST AND THIS IS THE STORM SYSTEM THAT WILL
NEED TO BE WATCHED CLOSELY THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS IT MAY COMBINE
WITH COOLER AIR BACKING INTO NEBRASKA AND WYOMING FROM THE NORTH AND
EAST EARLY NEXT WEEK TO CREATE SOME MIXED PRECIPITATION. THE LAST
TWO GFS MODEL RUNS...ALTHOUGH NOT FAVORED BY THE HPC GUIDANCE...SHOW
RUN TO RUN INCONSISTENCY WITH THE EASTWARD PROGRESSION OF THE UPPER
CLOSED LOW. THE 14/00Z RUN IS MUCH SLOWER AND KEEPS THE UPPER LOW
OVER CALIFORNIA EVEN BY MIDDAY MONDAY...AND THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO
THE EUROPEAN MODEL 13/12Z RUN. ALL THE MODEL GUIDANCE PRODUCTS ARE
INDICATING PRECIPITATION POTENTIAL SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT WITH THE
COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVING SOUTH ACROSS THE AREA...BUT THEN THE
PREFERRED EUROPEAN...AND LATEST GFS SOLUTION...WOULD KEEP ANY
SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA FOR MONDAY
THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THE AREA THAT WOULD NEED TO BE WATCHED MOST
CLOSELY FOR POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION WOULD BE THE
HIGHER TERRAIN AREAS RIGHT ALONG THE COLORADO STATE
LINE...ESPECIALLY MONDAY AND TUESDAY. THE 14/00Z EUROPEAN MODEL HAS
CONTINUED TO TREND FARTHER SOUTHWEST WITH THE UPPER CLOSED LOW WHICH
IS SIMILAR TO THE GFS...BUT THERE IS STILL VERY LITTLE RUN TO RUN
CONSISTENCY SO AM NOT PLANNING SIGNIFICANT CHANGES WITH THIS
FORECAST UPDATE THIS MORNING. WILL JUST MAKE SOME MINOR ADJUSTMENTS
FOR COLLABORATION WITH NEIGHBORING FORECAST OFFICES.

&&

.AVIATION...12Z TAF ISSUANCE...
NO SIGNIFICANT AVIATION CONCERNS TODAY AS VFR CONDITIONS WILL
PREVAIL. BREEZY WEST-SOUTHWEST SURFACE WINDS WILL BE PRESENT NEAR
KRWL THIS AFTERNOON BUT WILL DIMINISH BY AROUND SUNSET.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
INCREASINGLY CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS EXPECTED TODAY AND
FRIDAY. MINIMUM AFTERNOON RELATIVE HUMIDITIES TODAY WILL RANGE
FROM 13 TO 26 PERCENT WITH AFTERNOON WIND GUSTS OF 15 TO 25 MPH.
ON FRIDAY...MINIMUM AFTERNOON RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WILL RANGE FROM
8 TO 20 PERCENT AT MOST LOCATIONS WITH AFTERNOON WIND GUSTS OF 25
TO 35 MPH ACROSS SOUTHEAST WYOMING. THUS...A FIRE WEATHER WATCH
WILL BE IN EFFECT FROM 11 AM TO 6 PM FOR MOST OF SOUTHEAST
WYOMING.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR THE WESTERN NEBRASKA
PANHANDLE...EAST CENTRAL WYOMING...SOUTH CENTRAL WYOMING AND
SOUTHEAST WYOMING.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL DEVELOP LATE THIS MORNING ACROSS THE
LARAMIE RANGE. THESE WINDS WILL COMBINE WITH DRIED FUELS AND
AFTERNOON HUMIDITIES IN THE LOW TO MID TEENS TO PRODUCE A CRITICAL
FIRE WEATHER THREAT FOR THE LARAMIE RANGE THROUGH SUNSET TODAY. A
RED FLAG WARNING IS IN EFFECT THROUGH 6 PM THIS EVENING FOR WYOMING
FIRE WEATHER ZONE 309.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

A FIRE WEATHER WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR SOUTHEAST WYOMING AND THE
WESTERN NEBRASKA PANHANDLE FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON  AS GUSTY WINDS WILL
ACCOMPANY VERY DRY AND WARM CONDITIONS.

A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION SUNDAY NIGHT. MUCH
COOLER AIR AND PLENTY OF LOW AND MID LEVEL MOISTURE WILL SET
THE STAGE FOR INCLEMENT WEATHER FROM SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH
TUESDAY. A DEEPENING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AND LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
IS FORECAST TO MOVE FROM THE GREAT BASIN ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND
SOUTHERN ROCKIES EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE TRACK OF THIS SYSTEM
WILL RESULT IN PERIODS OF RAIN OR RAIN MIXED WITH SNOW IN THE
LOWER ELEVATIONS WITH HIGHER ELEVATION SNOWFALL. AT THIS
TIME...ACCUMULATIONS REMAIN UNCERTAIN.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED TODAY AND TONIGHT.
