.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 240 PM CST WED FEB 17 2016

MAIN CHALLENGES OVER THE SHORT TERM WILL BE TEMPERATURES THU AND FRI
AND WINDS THU NIGHT AND FRIDAY.

AS WINDS BECOME MORE SOUTHERLY THIS EVENING FOG WILL BECOME LESS OF
A CONCERN. HOWEVER STRATUS IS LIKELY TO HANG AROUND AND THAT WILL
THROW A WRENCH IN THE TEMP FORECASTS AS IT DID TODAY. SUFFICE TO SAY
THAT LOWS TONIGHT WILL NOT DIFFER MUCH FROM HIGHS TODAY. UPPER
RIDGING WILL SHIFT OVER THE PLAINS TONIGHT AND H85 TEMPS WILL
INCREASE. WITH THE CONTINUED SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING
FRONTAL SYSTEM TEMPS WILL WARM INTO THE 40S AND 50S ON THURSDAY EVEN
WITH CLOUD COVER. THAT SAID 60 IN KPIR MAY BE A STRETCH IF VERY LOW
STRATUS PERSISTS ALL DAY THURSDAY. CURRENTLY HAVE THEM FORECAST TO
BREAK OUT IN THE AFTERNOON.

AS THE FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE AREA ON THU NIGHT SOME PRECIP WILL
ACCOMPANY IT. TEMPS LOOK WARM ENOUGH FOR ALL OR MOST OF THE PRECIP
TO REMAIN RAIN. WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT WILL
INCREASE INTO ADVISORY TERRITORY AT 30 TO 40 MPH SUSTAINED. LAPSE
RATES WILL BE STEEP BUT WITH NO CAA AND LOTS OF CLOUD COVER MIXING
IS EXPECTED TO BE TEMPERED. THE ATMOSPHERE SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO TAP
THE 55KT TO 70 KT WINDS AT 700 AND 850MB. AS SKIES CLEAR BEHIND THE
FRONT ON FRIDAY TEMPS WILL RISE INTO THE UPPER 40S TO UPPER 50S
ACROSS THE AREA.

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 240 PM CST WED FEB 17 2016

A FAST MOVING SHORTWAVE WILL BE TRACKING ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS
AT THE START OF THE LONG TERM PERIOD. FORCING IS WEAK AND
BRIEF...BUT LIGHT PRECIPITATION CONTINUES TO BE FORECAST FOR
SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY. THERMAL PROFILES SUGGEST PTYPE WILL FAVOR
RAIN SATURDAY AFTERNOON...SWITCHING TO SNOW SOMETIME OVERNIGHT OR
BY EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN THEN TRANSITIONS
BACK TO THE NORTHWEST AS A RIDGE SLIDES OVER THE WESTERN CONUS. NO
MAJOR WAVES OF ENERGY RIDING THE RIDGE...SO THE WORKWEEK FORECAST
REMAINS DRY. TEMPERATURES REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE TIME
FRAME.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1143 PM CST WED FEB 17 2016

IFR/MVFR STRATUS CEILINGS AND FOG ARE EXPECTED AT MOST LOCATIONS
