* WHERE...In Nebraska, Dundy County. In Colorado, Kit Carson, 
  Yuma and Cheyenne Counties.

* WHEN...From 11 AM to 5 PM MST Saturday.

* IMPACTS...Winds of this magnitude may down trees, power lines,
  and damage property. High winds may also create dangerous

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Goodland KS
350 AM MST Fri Nov 13 2020

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Sunday night)
Issued at 345 AM MST Fri Nov 13 2020

Today-tonight...breezy to windy south-southwest winds are expected
for much of the area today as the pressure gradient between
departing surface high pressure to our southeast and developing low
pressure along the Colorado front range increases. High temperatures
are expected to be in the mid 50s to low 60s. For tonight high
clouds move in from the west ahead of a long wave upper trough. Low
temperatures are expected to be in the mid 20s to low 30s.

Saturday-Saturday night...a cold front moves through the area during
the late morning through afternoon hours. High temperatures are
expected to range from the low to mid 50s in far eastern Colorado to
the mid 50s to low 60s east of the CO/KS border. Behind the cold
front and its associated upper trough will be the left front portion
of a 110kt upper jet which is expected to move into the southwest
half or so of the area by the end of the day. Northwest winds
increase into the 28 to 40 mph range with gusts close to 60 mph,
highest mainly along and west of the CO/KS border. For this reason a
High Wind Watch will be in effect for Saturday afternoon. Ongoing
local research into blowing dust events suggests keeping the blowing
dust mention going for areas that are in the High Wind Watch, mainly
where 0.5-1km avg wind speeds of 45kt or higher are advertised and 2-
2.5km become more stable above a very unstable 0-2km lapse rate
area.

For the overnight hours winds gradually decrease with low
temperatures in the upper teens to upper 20s (west to east).

Sunday-Sunday night...gusty southwest winds expected in the
afternoon mainly along and west of the CO/KS border with high
temperatures in the low to upper 50s. Low temperatures in the mid
20s to low 30s.

.LONG TERM...(Monday through Thursday)
Issued at 1252 AM MST Fri Nov 13 2020

Monday... An upper level ridge is expected to move east across the
western CONUS bringing NW flow aloft across the High Plains. At the
surface, high pressure in the region will keep the Tri-State area
dry with RH values in the mid 20s. No fire weather is expected at
this time due to winds gusting up to 20 mph as they shift from west
to south. Temperatures on Monday are expected to reach the low to
mid 60s for highs and drop to the low 30s and upper 20s overnight.

Tuesday... The guidance is in good agreement that the ridge axis
will be moving across the Plains throughout the day. The location of
the ridge over the area will assist in warmer temperatures and
slightly drier conditions than Monday. The RH values are even higher
on Tuesday for eastern portions of the CWA, ranging from the low 20s
in eastern Colorado to the low 30s east of KS-25. The SW winds are
expected to once again gust up to 20 mph. Due to the below criteria
winds and RH values only expected to drop into the low 20s, the
confidence in fire weather conditions is low. However, there is some
potential for elevated fire weather conditions west of the Colorado
border. Tuesday high temperatures are expected to reach the mid 60s
with lows in the 30s.

Wednesday... The Tri-State area is expected to be on the back side
of the ridge with SW to W winds. Wednesday looks like it will be the
warmest day of the period with highs currently forecasted to reach
the low 70s. Overnight, temperatures will be in the mid to upper
30s. With the warmer temperatures, comes the chance to dry out even
further than the previous days. RH values are currently expected to
drop into the mid to upper teens west of the Colorado border and
range from the low 20s to low 30s for the remainder of the area.
Fortunately, the winds continue to remain on the lighter side with
peak gusts between 20-25 mph. Despite the light winds, the low
humidity values could be a concern for elevated fire weather
conditions in eastern Colorado during the afternoon.

Thursday... Current guidance depicts the ridge extending across the
entire CONUS. Overnight Thursday, our next trough looks to move onto
the West Coast. The models do begin to differ with the depth of the
ridge and strength of the trough; however, they are in agreement
that the area will continue to experience dry conditions.
Temperatures on Thursday are expected to reach the upper 60s to low
70s for highs and mid to upper 30s for lows. RH values will continue
to be lowest over eastern Colorado with values in the upper teens to
low 20s. The remainder of the area will is currently forecasted to
see values ranging from the low 20s to low 30s. No fire weather
conditions are expected as of now for Thursday due to the RH values
and winds only gusting up to 20 mph. Conditions will continue to be
closely monitored for any increases for fire weather potential each
day next week.

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Saturday morning)
Issued at 345 AM MST Fri Nov 13 2020

For KGLD and KMCK, VFR conditions through the period. KGLD will
see a southwest wind around 13kts at taf issuance increase during
the early morning hours with gusts around 30kts possible through
the afternoon. For tonight a south wind around 10kts is expected
around 00z with an increase to 12-14kts from the southwest after
03z. KMCK will see a light southwest wind at taf issuance reach
12kts by 16z with gusts in the 25 to 30kt range from 18z-22z.
After 23z winds subside below 12kts from the south.

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 345 AM MST Fri Nov 13 2020

For today, elevated to near critical fire weather conditions are
expected along and west of a line from Tribune to McCook. Relative
humidity values are expected to fall below 20 percent with southwest
winds gusting up to 30 mph.

A Fire Weather Watch is in effect Saturday for areas generally from
Yuma to Goodland and Gove. In this area northwest winds gusting 45 to
60 mph will combine with relative humidity values near 15 percent.
It should also be noted that blowing dust is expected in the Fire
Weather Watch area. If it occurs the reduced visibilities could
cause delays in response time to any fires that develop.

Elevated to near critical fire weather conditions are expected
Sunday for much of the area.
