AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
451 AM MST SUN NOV 24 2013

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 149 AM MST SUN NOV 24 2013

THE UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM EXPECTED TO AFFECT THE
FORECAST AREA WILL MOVE SLOWLY ACROSS THE DESERT SOUTHWEST AND
SOUTHERN ROCKIES TODAY. AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM...LIGHT SNOW WILL
SPREAD NORTHWARD OUT OF EASTERN NEW MEXICO AND THE PANHANDLE
REGION OF TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA INTO PORTIONS OF EASTERN COLORADO AND
WESTERN KANSAS. THE BEST CHANCE OF ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL WILL BE
THIS MORNING MAINLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 70 WHERE AN INCH
OR LESS OF TOTAL ACCUMULATION IS POSSIBLE.

THE UPPER LOW CENTER WILL PHASE INTO THE MAIN UPPER TROUGH THAT
DEEPENS OVER THE GREAT LAKES AND MISSISSIPPI VALLEY REGION
TONIGHT. THE LOW WILL THEN BEGIN TO MOVE SOUTHEASTWARD OVER TEXAS
WITH DRYER AIR ALOFT AND SUBSIDENCE MOVING OVER THE CENTRAL HIGH
PLAINS REGION TONIGHT. THE UPPER RIDGE AMPLIFYING OVER THE WESTERN
UNITED STATES MOVES OVER THE INTERMOUNTAIN REGION MONDAY NIGHT AND
TUESDAY AND BEGINS TO MOVE OVER THE ROCKIES ON TUESDAY NIGHT.

ALTHOUGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE GRADUALLY INCREASING THROUGH THE
FIRST PART OF THE WORK WEEK AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES INTO THE
REGION...MODEL TRENDS HAVE BEEN CONSISTENTLY LOWERING TEMPERATURES
WITH EACH SUBSEQUENT MODEL RUN OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS. TEMPERATURES
WILL REMAIN COLDER THAN AVERAGE WITH DRY CONDITIONS EXPECTED.

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 149 AM MST SUN NOV 24 2013

THE LARGE SCALE PATTERN SHOWS A LONGWAVE TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN
PORTION OF THE U.S. WITH AN UPPER RIDGE OVER THE ROCKIES.
THROUGHOUT THE EXTENDED...SEVERAL SHORTWAVE TROUGHS IN THE
NORTHWEST/WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT MOVE THROUGH THE NORTHERN
PLAINS...SENDING A FEW WEAK COLD FRONTS THROUGH THE CWA. THE COLD
AIR BEHIND THE FIRST FRONT IS KEPT WELL TO THE NORTH...SO
TEMPERATURES ARE NOT EXPECTED TO FLUCTUATE MUCH BEHIND THE FRONTAL
PASSAGE. THE FIRST FRONT MOVES THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO
THURSDAY AND THE NEXT FRONT...ASSOCIATED WITH WESTERLY/SOUTHWEST
FLOW ALOFT...MOVES THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY.
TEMPERATURES WITH THE NEXT FRONTAL PASSAGE ALSO ARE NOT EXPECTED
TO FLUCTUATE MUCH SINCE HIGHS SHOULD RECOVER AS THE SURFACE HIGH
QUICKLY PUSHES EAST BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON. FRONTAL PASSAGES WILL
ALSO REMAIN DRY AS THE MAIN FORCING WITH THESE WAVES ALSO REMAINS
NORTH OF THE CWA. TOWARDS THE END OF THE PERIOD...THE LARGE SCALE
PATTERN SHIFTS EAST WITH THE RIDGE FLATTENING AND MOVING OVER THE
CWA THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...WHILE A CLOSED UPPER LOW REMAINS
OVER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND SLOWLY MOVES EAST/SOUTHEAST WITH THE
SOUTHERN STREAM JET MOVING OVER THE CWA ON SATURDAY.

AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED...THE EXTENDED PERIOD SHOULD REMAIN
DRY...WITH INCREASING MID TO HIGH CLOUDS WITH FRONTAL PASSAGES.
TEMPERATURES SHOULD REMAIN SEASONABLE...WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 40S TO
LOW 50S AND LOWS IN THE 20S. ONCE EXCEPTION FOR HIGH TEMPERATURES
WILL BE WEDNESDAY...AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE OVER EASTERN KANSAS
EXTENDS INTO THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE CWA...FROM RED WILLOW TO
GOVE COUNTY AND EASTWARD...HIGHS COULD ONLY REACH THE UPPER 30S TO
LOW 40S.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z MONDAY MORNING)
ISSUED AT 440 AM MST SUN NOV 24 2013

CURRENTLY IT LOOKS LIKE VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE
TAF PERIOD. CEILINGS AT KGLD ONLY REDUCED TO BKN060 IN THE LAST
FEW HOURS AS THE FIRST WEAK BAND OF LIGHT SNOW MOVED OVER THE TAF
SITE. SOUNDINGS EARLIER THIS MORNING INDICATED POSSIBLY LOWER
CEILINGS WITH A CONTINUING CHANCE OF LIGHT SNOW LATER THIS
MORNING. AFTER VIEWING RAP SOUNDINGS...IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS NO
LONGER THE CASE. GUIDANCE ALSO DID NOT INCLUDE LOWERED CEILINGS
BEYOND VFR. LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE FORECAST AS OF RIGHT NOW...WILL
MAKE ANY AMMENDMENTS IF AND WHEN NECESSARY. SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL
PICK UP TODAY TO AROUND 15 TO 25 KTS GUSTING FROM 25 TO 35 KTS.
WIND GUSTS SHOULD DIMINISH OVERNIGHT WITH A WIND SHIFT TO THE
NORTHWEST. OVERCAST AND BROKEN CEILINGS SHOULD BECOME SCATTERED
OVERNIGHT AS THE THE STORM SYSTEM SOUTH OF THE AREA MOVES
NORTH/NORTHEAST.
