AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
220 AM MST SAT DEC 3 2011

.DISCUSSION...
219 AM MST SAT DEC 3 2011

04Z WATER IMAGERY INDICATED TROUGH ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST CONUS...WITH
RUC PV ANALYSIS INDICATED TWO SEPARATE SHORT WAVE TROUGHS ROTATING
AROUND LARGER TROUGH ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST. THE FIRST WAS DIVING
SOUTH ALONG THE WESTERN FLANK OF TROUGH...WHILE SECOND TROUGH WAS
LOCATED AT THE BASE OF TROUGH NEAR THE ARIZONA/MEXICO BORDER.
SURROUNDING 00Z OBSERVATIONS INDICATED THAT WIDESPREAD MOISTURE
ADVECTION HAD NOT BEEN ONGOING...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF KDDC THAT HAD
A SATURATED LAYER WITH MIXING RATIOS AROUND 5.4 IN A SHALLOW BEFORE
H8. IN ADDITION TO THIS MOIST LAYER...PRONOUNCED WARM LAYER ALSO
NOTED ON DDC SOUNDING...WITH H8 TEMPS OF +7C OBSERVED/

MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS WILL BE PRECIP TYPE/AMOUNTS AND OTHER IMPACTS
WITH UPCOMING WINTER STORM SYSTEM.

TODAY-TONIGHT...SOUTHERNMOST SHORT WAVE TROUGH WILL LIFT TO THE
NORTH DURING THE MORNING HOURS...BRINGING A PERIOD OF ACTIVE WINTER
WEATHER TO MUCH OF THE AREA. WHILE IT LOOKS LIKE COLDER AIR SHOULD
OVERSPREAD THE AREA FAIRLY QUICKLY...HAVE CONCERNS THAT WARM LAYER
WILL BE IN PLACE THROUGH 15Z...BRINGING AT LEAST THE THREAT FOR A
BRIEF WINDOW OF FREEZING PRECIP ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN COUNTIES. LOOKS
TO BE A VERY SMALL WINDOW BEFORE TEMPS ALOFT COOL SO DO NOT EXPECT A
GREAT DEAL OF ICE ACCUMULATIONS HOWEVER.

CROSS SECTIONS INDICATE SOME POTENTIAL INSTABILITY PRESENT ABOVE
FRONTAL ZONE WITH ATMOSPHERE STABILIZING FAIRLY QUICKLY AFTER 18Z AS
PV ANOMALY/SHORT WAVE TROUGH SWEEPS THROUGH THE AREA. MIXING RATIOS
AROUND THE SNOW GROWTH ZONE AVERAGE AROUND 3-4 G/KG THROUGH MOST OF
THE DAY BEFORE DRYING OUT CONSIDERABLY DURING THE AFTERNOON. MIXING
RATIOS THIS HIGH COULD SUPPORT A FEW AREAS OF +6 INCHES OF SNOW
SHOULD FORCING PERSIST THROUGH THE ENTIRE DAYTIME PERIOD. WHILE
THERE ARE SOME POSITIVES FOR LOCALLY HEAVY SNOW...HAVE SOME CONCERNS
AS WELL. DENDRITIC ZONE REMAINS FAIRLY SHALLOW THROUGH PERIOD OF
STRONGEST FORCING...AND ONLY DEEPENS AFTER MOST OF THE ATMOSPHERE
HAS SWITCHED TO DOWNGLIDE WHICH MAY LIMIT SNOW RATIOS THROUGH THE
MORNING HOURS. ALSO...ORGANIZED AND STRONG FRONTOGENESIS SEEMS TO STAY
ACROSS NORTHWEST HALF OF THE CWA AND ONLY BRIEFLY ADVANCES EASTWARD
TO WHERE LATEST GUIDANCE PRODUCING HEAVIER PRECIPITATION.
FINALLY...VERY LITTLE IN THE WAY OF WAA/UPGLIDE AROUND H7 LOW
CIRCULATION WITH OVERALL FLOW FAIRLY WEAK ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH
MUCH OF THE DAY.

BASED ON THE LATEST DATA...THINK IT IS WORTH EXPANDING ADVISORY TO
THE WEST AND NORTH SOMEWHAT. WHILE AMOUNTS WILL TAPER OFF GREATLY TO
THE WEST...WINDS WILL PICK UP TO AROUND 20KTS THROUGH MUCH OF THE
DAY CREATING SOME BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA.
CONFIDENCE STILL A BIT TOO LOW TO UPGRADE TO A WARNING IN SOME
AREAS...BUT IT WILL BE VERY CLOSE ESPECIALLY IN NORTHEAST CORNER OF
CWA. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR DATA AND UPGRADE IF HEAVIER SNOW
AMOUNTS CONTINUE.

SUNDAY-MONDAY NIGHT...LARGE SCALE TROUGH WILL REMAIN OVER THE AREA
THROUGH MUCH OF THE PERIOD...BEFORE GRADUALLY SHIFTING TO THE EAST
LATE IN THE PERIOD. ANOTHER SHORT WAVE TROUGH WILL GRAZE THE WESTERN
CWA OVERNIGHT SUNDAY AND INTO MONDAY MORNING...BUT WITH BULK OF
LARGE SCALE FORCING FOR ASCENT JUST GRAZING THE WESTERN CWA AND
OVERALL LOW PROBABILITIES FROM ENSEMBLE OUTPUT...DO NOT SEE MUCH
REASON TO GO ABOVE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS CURRENTLY IN THE FORECAST.
ELONGATED TROUGH PASSES OVER THE AREA ON MONDAY AFTERNOON BEHIND THE
INITIAL TROUGH...BUT WITH VERY STABLE AIR IN PLACE DO NOT THINK IT
WILL AMOUNT TO MUCH MORE THAN SOME HIGH CLOUDS AND CLEARING AS IT
PASSES. ASIDE FROM THE SMALL THREAT FOR SNOW ON SUNDAY NIGHT...MAIN
CONCERN FOR THE PERIOD WILL CENTER AROUND MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES
EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE AREA AS STRONG 1042MB SFC HIGH BUILDS OVER
THE AREA ON MONDAY. FAIRLY GOOD CONSENSUS BETWEEN OPERATIONAL MODELS
AND GEFS DATA THAT HIGHS WILL STRUGGLE TO CLIMB OUT OF THE
TEENS...WHICH MAY BE EVEN COOLER IF SIGNIFICANT SNOW COVER EXISTS.
LOWERED MAX AND MIN TEMPS SEVERAL DEGREES FOR MON-MONDAY NIGHT TO
ACCOUNT FOR THIS.

JRM

FOR THE PERIOD TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...THIS PERIOD WILL START WITH
SHORTWAVE RIDGING OVER THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS. IT WILL BE DRY BUT
TEMPERATURES WILL BE SLOW TO MODERATE. WEDNESDAY WILL BE THE WARMEST
DAY WITH HIGHS STRUGGLING TO REACH 40. NEXT SHORTWAVE TROUGH
ROTATING AROUND THE LARGE HUDSON BAY VORTEX WILL SLIDE DOWN THE HIGH
PLAINS ON THURSDAY. MODELS ARE SHOWING ONLY A STRIPE OF VERY LIGHT
SNOW OR PERHAPS FLURRIES WITH LITTLE TO NO LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
RETURN. TEMPERATURES WILL NOSE DIVE ONCE AGAIN BEHIND THE ARCTIC
FRONT FOR THE END OF THE WEEK WITH HIGHS IN THE 20S AND LOWS IN THE
SINGLE DIGITS.

.AVIATION...
950 PM MST FRI DEC 2 2011

FOR THE 06Z TAFS...DETERIORATING CONDITIONS OVERNIGHT AS SHORTWAVE
TROUGH BEGINS TO IMPACT THE REGION. COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH
THE REGION AFTER MIDNIGHT WITH WINDS SWITCHING AROUND TO THE NORTH
AND BECOMING GUSTY THROUGH THE REST OF THE PERIOD. MVFR CIGS ARE
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AFTER FRONTAL PASSAGE WITH SNOW BEGINNING TO
DEVELOP BY 10-12Z. BUFKIT SOUNDINGS STILL INDICATE AN INCREASE IN
SNOW INTENSITY FOR THE 14-19Z TIME FRAME. EXPECTING SNOW TO BEGIN
TAPERING OFF AFTER 21Z WITH -SN POSSIBLE UNTIL AROUND 00Z. GUSTY
NORTH WINDS WILL ALLOW FOR BLSN MID MORNING...REDUCING VSBY. WINDS
WILL DECREASE AFTER 00Z BECOMING LIGHT OVERNIGHT.
