.DISCUSSION...
300 AM MST MON MAR 7 2011

700MB LOW SKIRTING ACROSS SOUTHERN KANSAS THIS MORNING AND WILL
CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST AND OUT OF THE AREA BY THE END OF THE DAY.
LEFT FRONT QUAD OF UPPER JET AIDING IN SOME LIGHT SNOW ACROSS THE
EASTERN PARTS OF THE AREA AND THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD COME TO AN END
BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON. MAY SEE SOME SUN FROM TIME TO TIME AS WE
HAVE A LULL IN ACTIVITY LATE IN THE DAY. HIGH TEMPERATURES
GENERALLY IN THE 30S.

FOR TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT MODELS CONTINUE TO CHANGE THEIR
TUNE REGARDING THERMAL PROFILE AND TRACK OF THE NEXT SYSTEM
LEADING TO SOME QUESTIONS REGARDING PRECIP TYPE EARLY
ON...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE EAST.

PRECIP SHOULD INCREASE ACROSS THE WEST/SOUTHWEST EARLY TONIGHT
THEN INCREASE IN COVERAGE AFTER MIDNIGHT AS UPPER JET DYNAMICS
INCREASE WHILE NEARLY STACKED STORM MOVES TOWARD SOUTH CENTRAL
COLORADO. FAR EASTERN FORECAST AREA (HILL CITY) TEMP PROFILE
SHOWING SOME AIR SLIGHTLY ABOVE FREEZING ABOVE THE SFC BRINGING
INTO QUESTION PRECIP-TYPE. FOR NOW HAVE A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW.
PRECIPITATION WILL INCREASE IN AREAL COVERAGE AND AMOUNT TUESDAY
AS LOW MOVES ALONG/NEAR THE KS/TX BORDER REACHING SOUTH CENTRAL
KS/NC OKLAHOMA BY DAYS END. AREAS GENERALLY EAST OF THE CO/KS
BORDER LOOK TO HAVE THE GREATER SNOWFALL AMOUNTS WITH THE HIGHEST
AMOUNTS GENERALLY EAST OF A MCCOOK TO COLBY AND GOVE KANSAS LINE.
NORTHWEST WINDS WILL ALSO INCREASE TUESDAY AFTERNOON LEADING TO
AREAS OF BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW. SNOW WILL QUICKLY END FROM
WEST TO EAST TUESDAY NIGHT AS THE STORM QUICKLY MOVES OUT OF THE
AREA.

AS FOR THE WINTER STORM WATCH CURRENTLY IN EFFECT...STORM TOTAL
SNOWFALL AMOUNTS OF 3 TO 4 INCHES EXPECTED IN FAR EASTERN COLORADO
WITH 6 TO 10 INCHES EAST OF THE CO/KS BORDER. WARNING CRITERIA
WHETHER IT BE 6 INCHES IN 12 HOURS OR 8 IN 24 FAVORS LOCATIONS
EAST OF A LINE FROM NEAR MCCOOK THROUGH COLBY TO GOVE AND POINTS
EAST. HOWEVER...ENOUGH UNCERTAINTY IN BOTH FORECAST
TRACK...QPF AND THERMAL PROFILE EXIST AND CONFIDENCE NOT QUITE
HIGH ENOUGH TO PULL THE TRIGGER ON A WINTER STORM WARNING. I AM
TEMPTED TO PULL THE COLORADO COUNTIES OUT OF THE WATCH BUT
LOCATIONS ALONG THE CO/KS BORDER ARE CLOSE ENOUGH TO POSSIBLY
REACH CRITERIA THAT I WILL KEEP HIGHLITES GOING AS IS. THEY WILL
PROBABLY NEED AT LEAST A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IF SNOWFALL
AMOUNTS FALL SHORT OF WARNING CRITERIA.

WEDNESDAY...DRY AND WARMER. 850 TEMPERATURES WOULD SUPPORT HIGHS
IN THE LOW 50S BUT EXPECTED SNOW COVER WILL PREVENT THAT FROM
HAPPENING...ESPECIALLY EAST OF THE CO/KS BORDER. WILL HAVE COLDEST
TEMPS ACROSS THE EAST WHERE DEEPER SNOW IS EXPECTED...GRADUALLY
WARMING TEMPS WESTWARD WHERE LESS SNOW IS EXPECTED.

THURSDAY-SUNDAY...NO CHANGES MADE.

.AVIATION...

FOR THE 18Z TAFS...MVFR CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED TO PERSIST AT BOTH
TERMINALS THIS AFTERNOON BEFORE CONDITIONS DETERIORATE THIS EVENING
AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES CLOSER TO THE TERMINALS. IFR
CONDITIONS SHOULD COINCIDE WITH THE START OF LIGHT SNOW...AND LIFR
CONDITIONS WILL FOLLOW AS SNOWFALL INCREASES. LOW CEILINGS SHOULD
PERSIST AT BOTH TERMINALS THROUGH THE REST OF THE PERIOD...THOUGH
LIFT APPEARS BETTER AT KMCK THAN KGLD INTO TUESDAY.

POSSIBLE. THE GREATEST AMOUNTS AT THIS TIME APPEAR TO BE EAST OF A
LINE FROM MCCOOK TO COLBY AND RUSSELL SPRINGS. NORTHWEST WINDS OF
20 TO 30 MPH WITH HIGHER GUSTS WILL DEVELOP TUESDAY AFTERNOON

MAINLY EAST OF THE COLORADO KANSAS BORDER.

THERE REMAINS A MODEST AMOUNT OF UNCERTAINTY WITH RESPECT TO THE

WHERE THE HEAVIEST SNOW FALLS. ANYONE PLANNING TRAVEL OR THAT HAS
OUTDOOR INTERESTS THAT COULD BE IMPACTED BY HEAVY SNOW SHOULD
CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS.
