.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT
ISSUED AT 231 AM MST THU FEB 11 2016

STRONG NORTHWEST FLOW PERSISTS ACROSS THE CENTRAL STATES...WITH A
WEAK UPPER WAVE PUSHING SOME STRATUS INTO THE REGION. SURFACE

MUCH OF SD. RADAR SHOWS ECHOES ACROSS EASTERN MT/WESTERN ND...WITH
SOME DEVELOPMENT OVER NORTHWESTERN SD. WINDS ARE LIGHT AND
SOUTHERLY...AND TEMPS ARE IN THE 20S TO LOW 30S.

UPPER WAVE WILL CONTINUE PUSHING INTO THE REGION...PRODUCING SOME
LIGHT RAIN/SNOW ALONG THE BOUNDARY ACROSS NORTHWESTERN INTO CENTRAL
SD. NORTHWEST WINDS WILL INCREASE BEHIND THE WEAK SURFACE LOW
CROSSING THE AREA...REACHING 15-25 KTS ACROSS THE USUAL WINDY SPOTS
OF NORTHWEST SD AND JUST EAST OF THE BLACK HILLS. TEMPERATURES WILL
RISE INTO THE 40S AND LOWER 50S TO THE WEST OF THE BOUNDARY...WITH
30S ACROSS CENTRAL SD AND EASTWARD.

PRESSURE BEGINS TO SINK INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS. WITH SOME LIGHT
UPSLOPING WINDS DEVELOPING ON BOTH THE SD PLAINS AND NORTHEASTERN
WY...FOG MAY DEVELOP OVERNIGHT. COULD SEE A LITTLE LIGHT PRECIP OVER
THE SD PLAINS...BUT MOIST PROFILES THROUGH ABOUT 5KFT INDICATE TYPE
SHOULD BE RAIN/SNOW RATHER THAN FREEZING RAIN. LOWS WILL BE IN THE
20S.

COLD AIRMASS WILL LINGER OVER MUCH OF THE CWA ON FRIDAY. HIGHS WILL
RANGE FROM THE MID 20S ACROSS CENTRAL SD...TO THE 30S ACROSS FAR
WESTERN SD...WITH LOW 40S IN NORTHEASTERN WY. MAY BE SOME LIGHT
PRECIP AROUND THE BLACK HILLS INTO NORTHEASTERN WY. BY FRIDAY
NIGHT...ANOTHER BAND OF PRECIP IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER THE

.LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY
ISSUED AT 231 AM MST THU FEB 11 2016

ACTIVE NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL PERSIST OVER THE FORECAST AREA
THROUGH MOST OF THE EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD WITH A PERSISTENT UPPER
TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN CONUS. THE BEST CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION WILL
OCCUR ON SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT AS AN UPPER TROUGH CROSSES THE
NORTHERN PLAINS AND INTERACTS WITH THE SFC FRONT MOVING EASTWARD
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATE THAT THE
PRECIPITATION TYPE SHOULD BE MOSTLY SNOW BUT SOME LIGHT FREEZING
RAIN CLOUD OCCUR NEAR THE FRONT EARLY SATURDAY WITH LIGHT RAIN
POSSIBLE WEST OF THE BOUNDARY DURING THE DAY. DURING THE REST OF THE
PERIOD THE MAIN CHANCES FOR LIGHT PCPN WILL BE OVER PARTS OF NERN
WY...THE NRN BLKHLS AND NWRN SD. GUSTY NORTHWESTERLY WINDS ARE ALSO
POSSIBLE AS THESE DISTURBANCES PASS THROUGH. THERE IS SOME POTENTIAL
FOR STRONG WINDS EARLY NEXT WEEK...ESPECIALLY OVER NORTHWEST SD...IF
TEMPS WARM SUFFICIENTLY ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY TO ALLOW FOR DEEPER
BOUNDARY LAYER MIXING.
