AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHEYENNE WY
419 PM MST TUE JAN 26 2016

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 220 PM MST TUE JAN 26 2016

FORECAST CHALLENGES IN THE SHORT TERM DEAL WITH TEMPERATURES
MAINLY. LOOKING AT A DRY AND WARM FORECAST...TURNING WINDY.

CURRENTLY...PRETTY NICE DAY OUT ACROSS SOUTHEAST WYOMING AND
NEBRASKA PANHANDLE TODAY WITH MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AND DRY
CONDITIONS. TEMPERATURES AT 1PM THIS AFTERNOON IN THE 20S OUT WEST
WITH MID 30S OBSERVED IN THE PANHANDLE. WINDS REMAIN ELEVATED OUT
BY ARLINGTON THIS AFTERNOON WITH ROUGHLY 13MB PRESSURE GRADIENT
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CRAIG AND CASPER. LATEST WYDOT WEBCAMS
CONTINUES TO SHOW SOME DRIFTING SNOW ACROSS I80 OUT BY
ARLINGTON...SO WILL KEEP THE PATCHY BLOWING SNOW GOING IN WYZ110.

PRETTY NICE DAYS UPCOMING WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY AS WE STAY IN
NORTHWEST DRY FLOW. 700MB TEMPERATURES TO -2C WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON...THEN 0 TO +1C THURSDAY. SHOULD SEE SOME PRETTY NICE
AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES. HIGH WEDNESDAY IN THE MID TO UPPER 40S
ACROSS OUR EASTERN ZONES. THURSDAY SHOULD BE A LITTLE WARMER WITH
LOW TO MID 50S EXPECTED.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 220 PM MST TUE JAN 26 2016

FORECAST DIFFICULTIES THIS PERIOD WILL DEAL INITIALLY WITH WINDS
THEN TRANSITION TO POTENTIAL WINTER-LIKE WEATHER LATE IN THE
WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. FRIDAY WILL STILL BE PRETTY MILD
EAST OF THE MTNS BUT AN UPPER TROF MOVING EAST OVER THE NORTHERN
PLAINS WILL ENHANCE THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT WHILE FAST MID
LEVEL WINDS EXIST. 700MB WIND SPEEDS OVER THE LARAMIE RANGE AND
NORTHERN CARBON COUNTY EASE A BIT FRIDAY MORNING BUT INCREASE TO
50 TO 65 KNOTS LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO SAT MORNING BEFORE
EASING. LOOKING PRETTY GOOD FOR A HIGH WIND EVENT IN THE WIND
PRONE AREAS FOR THIS TIME. A SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL SINK SOUTH
ACROSS THE CWA SATURDAY MORNING WHICH WILL REDUCE THE SURFACE
WINDS AS THEY ACQUIRE A MORE NORTHERLY COMPONENT. OTHERWISE SOME
SNOW SHOWERS SHOULD INCREASE OVER THE HIGHER MTNS LATE SAT AND
SATURDAY NIGHT AS MOISTURE INCREASES FROM THE WEST AND RIDES UP
THE FACING SLOPES.

ATTENTION THEN WILL FOCUS ON PRECIPITATION THAT LOOKS TO SPREAD
EAST ACROSS THE CWA SATURDAY AS RIPPLES OF ENERGY WITHING A GOOD
MOISTURE FLOW OVERRIDE SURFACE UPSLOPE FLOW. MODELS DIFFER
SOMEWHAT WITH THE GFS BRINGING ONE DECENT SHORTWAVE ACROSS
SATURDAY NIGHT THEN DRYING THINGS OUT FOR SUNDAY INTO MONDAY.
AFTER THAT THE NEXT SYSTEM SPREADS SIGNIFICANT SNOW BACK ACROSS
THE CWA LATE MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY AS A SURFACE AND UPPER LOW
WRAP UP OVER EASTERN COLORADO AND PROCEEDS SLOWLY EAST. EC NOT
DEPICTING THIS LULL AND PRODUCES A LONGER TERM SNOW EVENT SATURDAY
NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. EITHER WAY A DECENT WINTER-LIKE STORM LOOKS TO
AFFECT THE CWA WITH JUST THE TIMING THE MAIN DIFFICULTY.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 419 PM MST TUE JAN 26 2016

VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR ALL TERMINALS THROUGH THE PERIOD
WITH HIGH CLOUDS MOVING SOUTH OVER THE AREA. BREEZY CONDITIONS MAY
PERSIST OVERNIGHT AT KRWL AND KCYS...WITH GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS
BECOMING MORE WIDESPREAD ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH
WEDNESDAY MORNING. GUSTS OF 20 TO 30 KTS WILL BE COMMON THROUGH
MUCH OF WEDNESDAY.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
ISSUED AT 220 PM MST TUE JAN 26 2016

FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS LIKELY MINIMAL OVER THE NEXT WEEK WITH SNOW
ON THE GROUND AND COOL TEMPERATURES. WE ARE GOING TO SEE AN
INCREASE IN WINDS THOUGH BEGINNING THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND
PERSISTING INTO SATURDAY AHEAD OF ANOTHER PACIFIC LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM. FORTUNATELY...AFTERNOON HUMIDITIES STAY WELL ABOVE
CRITICAL LEVELS WITH EXCELLENT OVERNIGHT RECOVERIES. STRONGEST
WINDS LIKELY TO OCCUR FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY WITH WIND PRONE AREAS
LIKELY SEEING 70 PLUS MPH WINDS. WIDESPREAD SNOW EVENT LOOKS TO
RETURN SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY...PERSISTING INTO THE BEGINNING
OF NEXT WEEK.
