...HIGH WIND WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM MDT /11 AM CDT/ TO 8 PM 
MDT /9 PM CDT/ FRIDAY...

* WHAT...Northwest winds 35 to 45 mph with gusts up to 65 mph 
  possible.

* WHERE...Portions of east central and northeast Colorado, northwest 
  and west central Kansas, and southwest Nebraska.

* WHEN...From 10 AM MDT /11 AM CDT/ to 8 PM MDT /9 PM CDT/ Friday.

* IMPACTS...High winds may move loose debris, damage property and 
  cause power outages. Travel could be difficult, especially for 
  high profile vehicles. Plumes of blowing dust will create pockets 
  of low visibility. Visibilities will likely change rapidly over 
  short distances, making travel hazardous in these areas.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Fasten loose objects or shelter objects in a safe location prior to 
the onset of winds.

Winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high 
profile vehicles. Use extra caution.

Remain in the lower levels of your home during the windstorm, and 
avoid windows. Watch for falling debris and tree limbs. Use caution 
if you must drive.

Blowing dust can significantly lower air quality and it is 
encouraged that you take preventative measures such as staying 
indoors or wearing protective breathing masks if outside. High dust 
concentrations can cause respiratory problems, decrease lung 
activity, aggravate asthma, and lead to potential heart-related 
problems, especially with children, elderly or those with 
pre-existing respiratory conditions.

  short distances, making travel hazardous in these areas.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Blowing dust dropping visibility from 1-3 
  miles is possible from the late morning through the afternoon 
  hours as the winds increase. There is also the low possibility of 
  a wall of dust developing ahead of the forecasted rain that would 
  lead to brownout conditions. The winds may
  also lead to re-ignition of any burns over the past few days. Ensure
  any previous burns are fully extinguished. Showers are also 
  forecast to develop during the afternoon hours across the area 
  which may lead to even stronger winds reaching the surface.


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Fasten loose objects or shelter objects in a safe location prior to 
the onset of winds.

Winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high 
profile vehicles. Use extra caution.

...HIGH WIND WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM MDT /9 PM CDT/ 
THIS EVENING...

* WHAT...Northwest winds 30 to 40 mph with gusts up to 60 mph.

* WHERE...Portions of northeast Colorado, northwest and west central 
  Kansas, and southwest Nebraska.

* WHEN...Until 8 PM MDT /9 PM CDT/ this evening.

* IMPACTS...High winds may move loose debris, damage property and 
  cause power outages. Travel could be difficult, especially for 
  high profile vehicles. Plumes of blowing dust will create pockets 
  of low visibility. Visibilities will likely change rapidly over 
  short distances, making travel hazardous in these areas.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Fasten loose objects or shelter objects in a safe location prior to 
the onset of winds.

Winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high 
profile vehicles. Use extra caution.

Remain in the lower levels of your home during the windstorm, and 
avoid windows. Watch for falling debris and tree limbs. Use caution 
if you must drive.

Blowing dust can significantly lower air quality and it is 
encouraged that you take preventative measures such as staying 
indoors or wearing protective breathing masks if outside. High dust 
concentrations can cause respiratory problems, decrease lung 
activity, aggravate asthma, and lead to potential heart-related 
problems, especially with children, elderly or those with 
pre-existing respiratory conditions.

...BLOWING DUST WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM MDT /7 PM CDT/ 
THIS EVENING...
...HIGH WIND WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM MDT /9 PM CDT/ 
THIS EVENING...

* WHAT...For the Blowing Dust Warning, widespread blowing dust and 
  brown out conditions. For the High Wind Warning, northwest winds 
  35 to 40 mph with gusts up to 70 mph.

* WHERE...In Colorado, Cheyenne County. In Kansas, Greeley, Logan, 
  Wallace, and Wichita Counties.

* WHEN...For the Blowing Dust Warning, until 6 PM MDT /7 PM CDT/ 
  this evening. For the High Wind Warning, until 8 PM MDT /9 PM CDT/ 
  this evening.

* IMPACTS...Severely limited visibilities are expected. Travel will 
  be dangerous and possibly life-threatening. Poor air quality may 
  cause issues for people with respiratory problems. High winds may 
  move loose debris, damage property and cause power outages. Travel 
  could be difficult, especially for high profile vehicles. Plumes 
  of blowing dust will create pockets of low visibility. 
  Visibilities will likely change rapidly over short distances, 
  making travel hazardous in these areas.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Blowing dust can significantly lower air quality and it is 
encouraged that you take preventative measures such as staying 
indoors or wearing protective breathing masks if outside. High dust 
concentrations can cause respiratory problems, decrease lung 
activity, aggravate asthma, and lead to potential heart-related 
problems, especially with children, elderly or those with 
pre-existing respiratory conditions.

Be ready for a sudden drop in visibility to near zero. If you 
encounter blowing dust or blowing sand on the roadway or see it 
approaching, pull off the road as far as possible and put your 
vehicle in park. Turn the lights all the way off and keep foot off 
the brake pedal. Remember, 'Pull Aside, Stay Alive'.

Fasten loose objects or shelter objects in a safe location prior to 
the onset of winds.

Winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high 
profile vehicles. Use extra caution.

Remain in the lower levels of your home during the windstorm, and 
avoid windows. Watch for falling debris and tree limbs. Use caution 
if you must drive.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this high wind warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
Issued at 345 AM MDT Thu Mar 13 2025

Today-tonight...southerly winds gradually strengthen from late
morning through the afternoon as 3 hour pressure falls in the 5-6mb
range develop ahead of the approaching upper level trough with a
surface low deepening in the Denver area. Wind gusts up to 40 mph
are expected. Locally developed blowing dust/dust storm parameters
are not favorable for blowing dust, primarily due to winds in the
0.5-1km layer being well below the needed criteria of at least
~45kts. Other parameters such as 0-2km (steep) and 2-2.5km lapse
rates (fairly stable) are favorable however. High temperatures are
forecast to be in the upper 60s (Flagler) to the lower 80s generally
along and east of Highway 83. Record/near record high temperatures
are possible, see the CLIMATE section below.

Tonight, as the upper trough approaches, it begins to take a
negative tilt with a deepening low pressure area at its base over
northeast New Mexico by 12z Friday. At the surface, a 980mb surface
low develops in the vicinity of the CO/KS border. The position of
the low will create fairly low wind speeds...under 10 mph or so
after midnight. There will be some increasing cloudiness. There may
be enough moisture to support 20%-30% chances for light rain showers
across far eastern Colorado. Low temperatures are forecast to be in
the middle 30s to upper 40s, coldest across eastern Colorado.

Friday-Friday night...as the closed 500mb low lifts northeast into
south central Kansas in the afternoon then toward southeast Nebraska
by sunset, the surface low moves with it while deepening to around
974mb. This will create northwest winds gusting 35 to 60 mph along
and west of Highway 27 (strongest across eastern Colorado) while to
the east, they'll be under 10 mph. By the end of the day, the entire
forecast area will have windy conditions with northwest winds
gusting 40 to 60 mph, highest generally west of Highway 25 and
especially across eastern Colorado where gusts around 60 mph will
remain possible.

Regarding the High Wind Watch, per coordination with surrounding
offices, no changes will be made except adding Hitchcock county per
a request from the North Platte office. I'm still hesitant on the
entire area in the watch seeing wind gusts in excess of 58 mph so
for now will keep the watch going. High temperatures are forecast to
range from 50 to 55 in eastern Colorado to the middle and upper 60s
generally east of Highway 25. Cant rule out some lower 70s in the
Hill City area based on 850mb temperatures.

Cant completely rule out some blowing dust for locations generally
south of Interstate 70 from late morning through the afternoon,
especially outside of any precipitation. Confidence not terribly
high at the moment, hopefully this increases over the next 24 hours
regarding confidence, areal coverage and any impacts.

Regarding precipitation chances, tough to pin down who/when/where
the better and not so good chances will be as there could be
precipitation (possibly thunderstorms) across the east ahead of the
low with wraparound rain showers mainly west of Highway 27. Later
forecasts can hopefully pin down these parameters better than what I
did. Overall, rain chances are in the 50 to 70 percent range.

During the overnight hours, precipitation chances end from southwest
to northeast as the storm system lifts northeast toward the Great
Lakes. There will continue to be a chance for rain showers and snow
showers with no snow accumulation expected. It will continue to be
windy with northwest winds gusting 35 to 45 mph. Low temperatures
are forecast to be in the middle 20s to middle 30s.

Saturday-Saturday night...it will continue to be windy during the
day with northwest winds gusting in the 35 to 45 mph range. It looks
to be dry with high temperatures in the middle 40s to middle 50s.
Light northwest winds are expected overnight with low temperatures
in the 20s.

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Issued at 340 AM MDT Thu Mar 13 2025

An active, progress synoptic pattern characterized by periodic
upper troughs (every ~3 days) will persist into next week. An
upper level ridge will build eastward over the region late this
weekend and early next week. Expect a warming trend on Sunday
and Monday. Breezy SW to W winds may foster critical fire
weather conditions over much or all of the area on both days..
with the relative worst conditions expected on Monday when
temperatures will, once again, approach 80F. Active weather will
return Tuesday into Tuesday night as the next upper level
trough and associated surface low pressure system progresses
east across the Central and Northern Plains. Long range guidance
exhibits a considerable amount of variability with regard to
the evolution (track, timing and intensity) of this low pressure
system.. lending considerable uncertainty to certain aspects of
the forecast (temperatures and precipitation, in particular).
From a pattern recondition and probability standpoint.. strong
winds (and wind-related hazards) appear to be the most likely
form of impactful weather.
