Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Goodland KS
1005 AM MST Wed Jan 4 2017

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Friday night)
Issued at 316 AM MST Wed Jan 4 2017

The forecast focus will be on the potential for light snow across
the central high plains region mainly Wednesday night into
Thursday morning ahead of a colder airmass that moves into the
region on Thursday and Thursday night.

The zonal flow aloft currently positioned north of the forecast
area sags slowly south across the central U.S. through the end of
the week. A weak short wave trough embedded in the flow moves
across the forecast area early Thursday. The upper flow becomes
slightly more amplified with a stronger upper trough moving east
of the Rockies and across the plains on Friday.

Light snow extends east of the Rockies and across portions of the
high plains mainly north and west of the forecast area today with
far southwest Nebraska and far northeast Colorado potentially seeing
an inch or less of snow through this afternoon and into this
evening. As the upper flow sags south and the upper short wave
trough moves east of the forecast area overnight, a colder area
of high pressure is pulled south into the region with the area of
increased snow potential transitioning southward across the
forecast tonight and into Thursday morning. Expect total snowfall
to range from 1/2" to 2" across the area. How quickly the features
sag south and the short wave moves east will determine where the
higher amounts of snow fall. Currently, the western and northern
portions of the forecast area seem to be favored. No highlights
with regards to snow are expected at this time.

Once the snow ends, the concern shifts to the cold temperatures
and wind chills. Early Thursday morning, and again Thursday night
into Friday morning, the coldest wind chills expected could range
from -15 to -20 mainly across northeast Colorado. Although no
highlights have been issued at this time, it appears a wind chill
advisory is likely warranted early Thursday morning and again
Thursday night into Friday morning.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Wednesday)
Issued at 207 AM MST Wed Jan 4 2017

During the extended period look for dry conditions as the high plains
will be under the influence of an upper level ridge. On Saturday,
highs will reach the lower 30s with the overnight lows dropping into
the single digits. From Sunday on, expect a gradual warming trend as
the highs will reach the middle 50s by Tuesday.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday afternoon)
Issued at 1000 AM MST Wed Jan 4 2017

KGLD, vfr conditions expected from taf issuance through about 02z.
It is possible for cigs to reach mvfr category. Winds begin the
period from the southeast gusting around 20kts but will decrease
and back to the east then northeast. From 03z-16z am expecting
cigs and vis to fall into the ifr category as the potential for
organized light snow to move over the terminal. Winds generally
from the northeast and north around 10kts. After 17z the snow
should be south of the terminal but cigs remain mvfr. Winds should
be from the northwest around 12kts.

KMCK, mvfr cigs expected from taf issuance through 22z with winds
from the east around 7kts. From 23z-16z cigs and vis lower into
the ifr category as light snow moves over the terminal. Winds
generally from the northeast under 10kts. After 17z vfr conditions
return with winds from the northwest around 10kts.
