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. && $$ JN

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. * 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. 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.

.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.
