.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 321 AM MDT Sat Oct 29 2016/

SHORT TERM...Today through Mon night. One weak trough with
abundant moisture has passed through with showers ending this
morning in the northeast corner of the forecast area. Another
storm is approaching, this time more from the west. This one also
has plenty of moisture and is also accompanied by a 100KT-plus
jet. The moisture will develop during the morning on Sunday, with
a cold frontal passage Sun night bringing strong wind. Local study
here indicates an unusually powerful overnight frontal passage,
with wind reaching Wind Advisory criteria by 31/06Z and continuing
into Mon morning. Winds will keep temperatures up that night, but
tonight it should get fairly cold. Behind the cold front on Mon,
temperatures will be colder, including the Monday night low.
However, they will only cool to near normal. Snow level will lower
from the 8500ft-plus to around 5000 feet elevation for Mon night,
although the precipiation will be mostly over.

Messick

LONG TERM...Tuesday through Saturday. Progressive pattern remains
in place for extended period per both GFS and ECMWF. Trough moves
inland and crosses region Tuesday with split flow then dives south
through the Great Basin Tuesday night. Best chance for precip during
the day Tuesday decreasing overnight. Weak shortwaves skim the
western edge of the region Wednesday night, then the northern zones
Friday night. Have kept much of the region dry for Wednesday through
Saturday with temperatures in line with guidance. DMH

AVIATION...Showers continue across the region this morning with
combination of VFR/MVFR visibilities and ceilings. Most of the
precip expected to shift northeast out of the region with some
clearing. However, very moist surface conditions likely to generate
pockets of fog and IFR/LIFR ceilings around sunrise. Conditions
expected to improve back to VFR nearly all areas during the day
though isolated showers will be possible mainly higher elevations
during the day. Another system expected to bring additional showers
to the region tonight with continued round of MVFR ceilings. Would
not be surprised to see a few pockets of IFR ceilings overnight. DMH
