COLD FRONT HAS NEARLY COMPLETED ITS SURGE THROUGH THE FA. WINDS
STRONG AS EXPECTED HOWEVER VSBY VARIES QUITE A BIT LOOKING AT
REGIONAL WEB CAMS. BRIEF NEAR WHITE OUT CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH
ISOLD SHSN IN CU STREAMERS. BASED ON REPORTS APPEARS TO BE SHORT
LIVED SO AM PLANNING ON HOLDING ON TO ADVISORY AS IMPACTS SHORT
TERM AND ISOLATED IN COVERAGE. EXPECT WINDS TO DIMINISH THIS
EVENING EASING BLSN PROBLEM BUT WITH STRONG COLD ADVECTION WIND
CHILLS WILL BE THE ISSUE. SURFACE HIGH WILL BUILD INTO THE CENTER
OF THE FA BY MORNING. COLDEST AIR WILL BE CENTERED OVER EASTERN FA
AND WITH WINDS HOLDING UP WILL SEE LOWEST WINDS CHILLS THIS AREA.
FOR THIS WILL ISSUE WIND CHILL WARNING EAST OF THE VALLEY AND HOLD
WITH WIND CHILL ADVISORY OVER REMAINDER OF THE FA.

SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS OFF TO THE EAST THURSDAY WITH SLIGHT
WARM ADVECTION AND RETURN FLOW ALONG AND WEST OF VALLEY. WITH VERY
COLD START TEMPERATURE RECOVER WILL BE MINOR. COLDEST TEMPERATURES

BELOW ZERO SATURDAY.

ANOTHER ROUND OF RE-REINFORCING COLD AIR WILL DROP OVER THE AREA AS
THE EXTENDED PERIOD BEGINS LATE SATURDAY.  STORM SYSTEM ENTERING
CALIFORNIA LATE WEEK WILL MOVE EAST INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS...BUT IT
CERTAINLY LOOKS LIKE HIGH PRESSURE AND COLD DRY AIR MASS CENTERED
OVER THE CANADIAN PRAIRIES INTO THE FAR NORTHERN PLAINS WILL KEEP
MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION SOUTH OF THE AREA.  POPS ESSENTIALLY HAVE
BEEN ELIMINATED FROM THE SUNDAY FORECAST.  THEN HIGH PRESSURE AND
COLD MON-TUE.  12Z EURO CONTINUES WITH THE IDEA OF A WEAK SHORT WAVE
FOR WEDNESDAY WHILE THE CORRESPONDING GFS HOLDS THIS FEATURE WEST OF
THE REGION WITH STRONGER HIGH HOLDING.  BOTH PIECES OF GUIDANCE
