MIDNIGHT...WITH WINDS TRANSITIONING NW AND INCREASING TONIGHT AND
REMAINING STRONG ON WEDNESDAY. WIND SPEEDS WILL RANGE FROM 25 TO
30KTS WITH GUSTS OF 35KTS OR HIGHER DUE TO A TIGHT SURFACE
GRADIENT IN PLACE. MID LEVEL CLOUD COVER WILL INCREASE IN VCNTY OF
COLD FRONT BUT ATTM NOT LOOKING AT MUCH IN THE WAY OF PCPN...BUT
SPRINKLES OR AN ISOLATED SHOWER IS POSSIBLE.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 356 AM CDT TUE OCT 16 2012/

SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH 12Z FRIDAY. MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS
WILL BE SMALL CHANCES FOR SHOWERS LATE TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY
MORNING...FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS FOR WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND WINDS
FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.

SURFACE ANALYSIS HAS A COLD FRONT MOVING INTO THE FORECAST AREA
EARLY THIS MORNING. THERE IS NOT VERY MUCH COLD AIR BEHIND THE COLD
FRONT AS IT MOVES INTO THE AREA AND OTHER THAN WINDS TURNING TO THE
NORTHWEST THERE WILL NOT BE MUCH TO NOTE WITH THIS COLD FRONT. BY
AFTERNOON THERE IS SOME WARM ADVECTION AND WINDS TURN BACK TO THE
WEST FOR SOME DOWN SLOPE AND EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO REACH TO NEARLY
THE SAME VALUES AS YESTERDAY.

TONIGHT ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL WAVE AND A STRONGER COLD FRONT MOVE
INTO THE FORECAST AREA. THIS FRONT HAS COLDER AIR BEHIND IT
ALLOWING TEMPERATURES ON WEDNESDAY TO BE MUCH COLDER THAN TODAY.
IN ADDITION TO THE COLDER TEMPERATURES...WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE
MUCH STRONGER AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS. BEHIND THE COLD
FRONT DRIER AIR SETTLES INTO THE AREA. RELATIVE HUMIDITIES
DECREASE TO 15 TO 20 PERCENT.

WINDY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THEN
THURSDAY WILL ALSO BE WINDY. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT CONTINUES ACROSS
THE AREA AND WINDS AT 850MB ARE 40 TO 60 KNOTS. TEMPERATURES WILL
ALSO BE COOLER ON THURSDAY. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WEAKENS SOME FOR
THURSDAY NIGHT AS A SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM TRIES TO MOVE INTO
THE WEST.

LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL START TO
WARM UP A LITTLE ON FRIDAY...BUT THE REAL NICE DAYS WILL BE
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY BEFORE COOLER TEMPERATURES RETURN ON MONDAY.
DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD.

FRIDAY...THE UPPER LOW WILL BE WELL EAST OF US MAKING FOR A DRY
DAY...BUT IT WILL REMAIN COOL WITH NORTHERLY FLOW ON THE BACK SIDE
OF THE DEPARTING LOW. HIGH TEMPERATURES ALTHOUGH WARMER THAN ON
THURSDAY WILL STILL BE A TOUCH BELOW NORMAL AND RANGE FROM AROUND 60
ACROSS OUR NORTHEAST ZONES TO THE MID 60S OVER OUR SOUTHWEST ZONES.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...THERE CONTINUES TO BE GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT
IN PLACING AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE PLAINS. WARMER AIR WILL
CONTINUE TO WORK INTO OUR FORECAST AREA WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES
THIS WEEKEND RANGING FROM NEAR 70 TO THE LOWER 70S BOTH DAYS.
CONFIDENCE IN DRY WEATHER THIS WEEKEND REMAINS HIGH.

MONDAY...AN UPPER TROUGH WILL BE DIGGING ACROSS THE WESTERN
CONUS. THERE ARE SOME INDICATIONS OF A COLD FRONT PASSING THROUGH
LATE SUNDAY THAT WILL TURN THE WINDS AND BRING IN SOME COOLER
WEATHER. CONFIDENCE IN THE TEMPERATURE FORECAST IS LOW. ODDS ARE
BETTER THAN NOT THAT IT WILL BE A DRY DAY...BUT CONFIDENCE IS ONLY
FAIR DUE TO POSSIBLE FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN THE AREA WITH AN
APPROACHING SHORT WAVE.

FIRE WEATHER...WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY WILL BOTH BE QUITE WINDY
ACROSS THE AREA. WIND SPEEDS ON WEDNESDAY ARE EXPECTED TO BE 25 TO
30 MPH WHILE ON THURSDAY THE WINDS WILL BE 30 TO 35 MPH. THIS MEETS
THE WIND CRITERIA FOR CRITICAL FIRE DANGER. THEN THE RELATIVE
HUMIDITY WILL BE THE MAIN QUESTION. ON WEDNESDAY...VALUES FOR MUCH
OF THE FORECAST AREA WILL BE 15 TO 20 PERCENT. ON THURSDAY ONLY A
PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA WILL HAVE RELATIVE HUMIDITY THAT LOW.
WILL CONTINUE THE FIRE WEATHER WATCH AS IS FOR WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON.
