.UPDATE...
Issued at 915 PM MDT Sat Mar 23 2024
After reviewing 18z data and latest 00z (NAM), there is enough
confidence to introduce a High Wind Watch to areas generally
along and west of Highway 27 (except Dundy and Cheyenne KS) from
03z-18z Monday. The 00z MET guidance has come up in its
sustained wind speeds, approaching that of the latest and prior
runs of the MAV guidance. Presently, wind gusts up to 65 are
anticipated in the Watch area.
Additionally, the latest model visibility forecasts are honing
in on lowering visibilities to around 1/2 mile or even less
within the wraparound snow thats expected to develop within the
axis of stronger winds. Will await the 00z GFS/ECMWF models
and let the incoming shift know about the likely need for a
winter weather headline of some type.
For tonight and tomorrow, stratus is again expected to impact
the area tonight, slowly lifting east and northeast during the
day tomorrow. This will impact the high temperature forecast.
Presently, high temperatures are forecast to be in the middle
50s to upper 60s. If the stratus hangs around longer than
currently expected, these readings would be optimistic.
Still expecting some rain showers to move across the area
tonight, exiting from west to east Sunday morning. We'll then be
in a precipitation lull until early to mid afternoon when
showers and thunderstorms increase in coverage.

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
Issued at 252 PM MDT Sat Mar 23 2024
Synoptic Pattern: A complex upper level trough presently
situated along the Pacific Coast will amplify as it progresses
eastward across the Intermountain West (tonight), Rockies (Sun)
and central CONUS (Mon).
Feature of Interest 1: An upper level low situated along the
Pacific Northwest coast at 19Z will dig S-SSE through CA
(tonight-Sun) into northern Mexico (Sun night).
Feature of Interest 2: Potent shortwave energy situated
offshore central CA early this afternoon will move ashore
southern CA (tonight) and rapidly track eastward across the
Desert Southwest (Sun morning).. then lift ENE into the Central
Plains (Sun aft/eve).
Overview: A developing lee cyclone in Colorado (this afternoon)
will rapidly intensify during the day on Sunday (12-21Z).. as
Feature 2 approaches from the WSW. Guidance suggests a minimum
central pressure ~978-983 mb in vicinity of the CO-KS border by
~00Z Mon. The aforementioned cyclone is progged to track E and
NE into far northeast Kansas/far southeast Nebraska by mid-day
(18Z) Monday and Iowa by 00Z Tuesday. Strong low-level northerly
flow on the western periphery of the mid-latitude cyclone will
'tap' a Canadian Arctic airmass (over Alberta/
Saskatchewan/Manitoba).. advecting it southward through the
Dakotas into the Central Plains late Sun-Sun night.
Hazard (Fire Weather): Breezy to strong (30-40 mph) SW winds,
well above normal temperatures and dry conditions (antecedent
and otherwise) on the eastern periphery of the intensifying,
eastward advancing lee cyclone will foster dangerous fire
weather conditions across much of the area on Sunday.
Hazard (Severe Storms): Convection allowing guidance such as
the 18Z HRRR and NAM NEST suggest that scattered convection will
blossom over portions of far northwest KS ~20-21Z Sunday
afternoon. Forecast soundings /thermodynamic profiles/ suggest
that convection in the Goodland CWA will largely be high-based
in nature.. and that large hail/damaging wind are the primary
hazards.
Hazard (Strong N Winds): Strong northerly winds will develop
late Sun aft/eve as the aforementioned lee cyclone progresses
east toward central KS.. and an Arctic airmass /cold front/
surges southeastward through the area. While virtually all
guidance indicates that strong wind will be present, they
continue to vary with regard to how strong. A number of factors
will influence the MSLP-H85 height gradient over the region,
including the location/intensity/motion/track of the surface low
and the magnitude of Arctic high pressure extending into the
region from the north -- evaporative cooling associated with
upstream precipitation over Nebraska/Dakotas may augment the
airmass (make it colder, increase surface pressure), for
example. At this time, expect sustained N winds ranging from
30-45 mph and gusts in the 55-65 mph range. Blowing dust may
well accompany the frontal passage.. given the abrupt nature of
the wind shift and very dry antecedent conditions. A High Wind
Warning may ultimately be necessary Sunday evening into Monday
morning.
Hazard (Snow/Blowing Snow): Precipitation is anticipated to
develop on the W and NW periphery of the mid-latitude cyclone as
it progresses ENE-NE from Kansas into Nebraska/Iowa Sunday
night into Monday. Precip magnitude/distribution will highly
depend upon the evolution of the mid-latitude cyclone, which..
in turn.. will highly depend upon the evolution of the
amplifying upper level trough progressing eastward into the
central CONUS -- and smaller scale wave interactions therein
(interactions between Feature 1 and Feature 2, in particular).
Solutions for the Tri-State area range anywhere from no
accumulating snow to 3-6" of snow. It should be reiterated that
*any* snow will further exacerbate already difficult travel
conditions assoc/w strong northerly winds.

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Issued at 145 AM MDT Sun Mar 24 2024
Upper ridge will move across the area Wednesday and Thursday
resulting in dry conditions and warming temperatures. Highs on
Wednesday will be in the 50s and highs on Thursday will be in
the upper 60s to lower 70s. May see fire weather concerns on
Thursday west of Highway 83 as relative humidity drops into the
teens and southwesterly winds gust 20 to 30 mph. On Thursday and
Friday, will be under southwest flow aloft between a trough
digging into the southwest CONUS and the ridge to the east.
Cannot rule out a stray shower with any weak embedded wave, but
looks mostly dry. Temperatures continue above normal with highs
in the 60s and 70s. Fire weather may continue to be a concern
both days with low humidity and wind gusts approaching 25 mph.

Hazardous weather is not expected at this time. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH SATURDAY... A variety of high impact weather will affect the region Sunday through Monday. Hazardous travel conditions are likely across the entire Tri-State area, including Interstate 70, late Sunday through Monday. South to southwest winds gusting 30 to 45 mph will combine with above normal temperatures and dry fuels to produce high to extreme Grassland fire danger on Sunday. All outdoor burning should be avoided. Severe thunderstorms capable of producing large hail and damaging winds may develop in advance of an approaching cold front Sunday afternoon, mainly along and east of Highway 25 in northwest Kansas. Very strong northerly winds will develop in the wake of an Arctic cold frontal passage late Sunday afternoon and evening. Sustained winds at 30 to 45 mph and gusts ranging from 55 to 65 mph are expected. The abrupt nature of the wind shift, and sudden onset of strong northerly winds, possibly accompanied by blowing dust, may catch motorists off guard, especially along the Interstate 70 corridor in far northwest Kansas and eastern Colorado. Any fires ongoing will shift their direction of movement abruptly, becoming nearly impossible to control once the front moves through. Snow and blowing snow are likely across portions of the area Sunday night through Monday. While snowfall amounts are uncertain, any amount of snow with the very strong winds will create significant reductions in visibility and likely difficult travel conditions. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be needed.
