1035 AM MST WED FEB 12 2014
.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 913 AM MST WED FEB 12 2014
PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERN FOR TODAY IS WINDS AND THE HIGH WIND
WARNING ACROSS A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF SE WYOMING. SKIES WERE
OVERCAST ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA WITH WINDS GENERALLY BETWEEN 10
TO 20 KNOTS. WINDS HAVE INCREASED ACROSS THE WIND PRONE AREAS WITH
GUSTS APPROACHING 50 MPH NEAR BORDEAUX AND LARAMIE. WILL KEEP THE
HIGH WIND WARNING AS IS...BUT MAY NEED TO CANCEL PORTIONS OF IT IF
WINDS DO NOT PICK UP IN CHEYENNE AND MOST OF CARBON COUNTY BY
NOON. CURRENT 12Z NAM SHOWS THE STRONGEST WINDS OVER THE WIND
PRONE AREAS ALONG WITH NORTHERN CARBON COUNTY...WITH AN
UNFAVORABLE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT ELSEWHERE. WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO PICK UP ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF SE WYOMING TONIGHT AS
THE AREA OF STRONG SUBSIDENCE SHIFTS EASTWARD TOWARDS THE NEBRASKA
BORDER.

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 435 AM MST WED FEB 12 2014
TODAY...TWO PRIMARY CHALLENGES TODAY WILL BE WINDS ACROSS SOUTHEAST
WYOMING...AND SNOW ACROSS OUR SOUTHWEST MOUNTAINS. WEST NORTHWEST
FLOW AT THE LOW AND MID LEVELS STRENGTHENS APPRECIABLY WITH THE
CRAIG TO CASPER 700 MB HEIGHT DIFFERENCES EXCEEDING 70 METERS. 50 TO
65 KNOTS JETLET ORIENTED NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST WILL EXTEND FROM
NEAR RAWLINS TO CHEYENNE AND PINE BLUFFS LATE THIS AFTERNOON...AND
WITH DECENT DOWNWARD MOTION INDICATED BY THE OMEGA FIELDS AS WELL AS
WITH THE 500-300 MB AND 700-500 MB QUASIGEOSTROPHIC FORCING...HAVE
EXPANDED OUR HIGH WIND WARNING TO INCLUDE
RAWLINS...LARAMIE...WHEATLAND AND CHEYENNE...ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF
THE ALMOST ALWAYS ACCURATE GFS LAMP HOURLY WINDS...UPDATED EACH HOUR.
SNOW MACHINE WILL CRANK UP OVER THE SNOWY AND SIERRA MADRE RANGES
WITH LONG TAP OF LOW AND MID LEVEL MOISTURE BEING ADVECTED TOWARDS
OUR MOUNTAINS...THUS HAVE UPGRADED TO A WINTER STORM WARNING FOR
AFOREMENTIONED MOUNTAINS...ESPECIALLY WITH EXPECTED STRONG WINDS
PRODUCING NEAR WHITEOUT CONDITIONS AT TIMES IN BLOWING SNOW.
TONIGHT...FLOW ALOFT BACKS TO MORE WEST WITH A 50 TO 60 KNOT 700 MB
JETLET ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHEAST WYOMING AND SOUTHERN NEBRASKA SOUTH
OF A DOUGLAS TO SCOTTSBLUFF LINE. PROGGED LOW AND MID LEVEL
GRADIENTS WILL BE ENOUGH TO WARRANT CONTINUATION OF THE HIGH WIND
WARNING ACROSS RAWLINS...LARAMIE...BORDEAUX...ARLINGTON...VEDAUWOO
AND THE FOOTHILLS OF LARAMIE COUNTY WEST OF CHEYENNE. WITH SOME
DECREASE IN WINDS IN THE EVENING AND SOME DECOUPLING...WILL LEAVE
CHEYENNE AND WHEATLAND OUT OF THE HIGH WIND WARNING.
WIDESPREAD SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW WILL CONTINUE DUE TO OROGRAPHICS
ACROSS THE SNOWY AND SIERRA MADRE RANGES. RELATIVELY BALMY OVERNIGHT
MINIMA TO THE LEE OF THE LARAMIE RANGE DUE TO DECENT WINDS.
THURSDAY...WIND MACHINE CRANKS AND RAMPS UP AGAIN WITH CRAIG TO
CASPER 700 MB HEIGHT DIFFERENCES IN EXCESS OF 70 METERS. IMPRESSIVE
50 TO 65 KNOT NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST ORIENTED 700 MB JETLET WILL LIE
FROM WHEATLAND TO SIDNEY...AND SOME OF THESE STRONG WINDS WILL
LIKELY BE ABLE TO BE TRANSPORTED TO THE SURFACE BASED ON PROGGED
OMEGAS AND 500-300 MB AND 700-500 MB QUASIGEOSTROPHIC DOWNWARD
MOTION. THUS...CONTINUATION OF THE HIGH WIND WARNING FOR
RAWLINS...LARAMIE...ARLINGTON...BORDEAUX AND VEDAUWOO...WITH A HIGH
WIND WATCH FOR WHEATLAND...CHEYENNE AND PINE BLUFFS.
OROGRAPHIC SNOWS AND BLOWING SNOW CONTINUES IN EARNEST ACROSS THE
SNOWY AND SIERRA MADRE RANGES.
THURSDAY NIGHT...STRONG 150 KNOT 300 MB JET STREAK MOVES OVER OUR
COUNTIES...THOUGH MID LEVEL WINDS AT 700 MB DECREASE TO 45 TO 50
KNOTS. WILL NEED TO WATCH FOR POSSIBLE EXTENSION OF THE STRONG WINDS
IN THE OVERNIGHT HOURS WITH THE RIGHT FRONT QUADRANT OF THE POWERFUL
150 KNOT 300 MB JET OVERHEAD AND WITH SUBSIDENCE IN THE WAKE OF THE
LOW AMPLITUDE SHORTWAVE TROUGH PASSAGE. SNOW EXPECTED TO TAPER OFF
BY MIDNIGHT OVER THE SNOWY AND SIERRA MADRE RANGES...THUS THE
MIDNIGHT EXPIRATION TIME LOOKS DECENT.
FRIDAY...TRANSITORY LOW AMPLITUDE SHORTWAVE RIDGE ALOFT MOVES
OVERHEAD. WINDS LOOK TO CRANK UP AGAIN...ESPECIALLY IN THE
AFTERNOON...AS ANOTHER 700 MB 50 TO 65 KNOT JETLET STREAKS OVERHEAD
FROM RAWLINS TO LARAMIE TO CHEYENNE AND SCOTTSBLUFF. OROGRAPHIC
SNOWS START AGAIN OVER THE SNOWY AND SIERRA MADRE RANGES IN MOIST
WEST NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT.
.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 435 AM MST WED FEB 12 2014
00Z MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW A PROGRESSIVE ZONAL PATTERN THROUGH THE
WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. STRONG WINDS WILL CONTINUE FRIDAY
NIGHT MAINLY ALONG AND WEST OF INTERSTATE 25 AS A SHORTWAVE MOVES
ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND DEEPENS THE LEESIDE PRESSURE TROUGH.
GENERALLY 5MB/6HR PRESSURE FALLS ARE PROGGED IN THIS TROUGH WHICH IS
FAVORABLE FOR PRODUCING A STRONG SFC PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA. THIS GRADIENT ALONG WITH DEEP SUBSIDENCE FROM
MOUNTAIN WAVE ACTIVITY WILL PRODUCE THE STRONG SFC WINDS ACROSS
SOUTHEAST WYOMING. 700 MB WINDS OF 65 TO 75 KTS AT THIS TIME MEANS
SFC GUSTS COULD BE 70 MPH OR HIGH IN THE MORE FAVORABLE LOCATIONS
FOR STRONG WINDS SUCH AS BORDEAUX AND ARLINGTON. THE UPPER JET WILL
MOVE OVERHEAD THROUGH THIS TIME AS WELL AND WILL BRING WITH IT
INCREASING MIDLEVEL PACIFIC MOISTURE. THE COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH
THIS SYSTEM LOOKS TO MOVE ACROSS THE CWA SATURDAY MORNING...AND SO
THE COMBINATION OF OROGRAPHICS AND SFC FORCING WILL BRING AT LEAST A
CHANCE FOR RAIN/SNOW TO NORTHERN AND WESTERN ZONES NOT AFFECTED BY
DOWNSLOPE DRYING. DRY AND SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPS WILL OCCUR ON
SATURDAY IN THE WAKE OF THIS SYSTEM...ALONG WITH BREEZY TO WINDY
CONDITIONS. AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BUILD OVERHEAD SATURDAY NIGHT
AND SUNDAY AS AN UPPER TROUGH MOVES INTO THE PACIFIC COASTAL STATES.
THE LEESIDE SFC TROUGH WILL DEEPEN ONCE AGAIN AHEAD OF THE UPPER
WAVE...AND THEREFORE WILL SEE CONTINUED BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS
ACROSS THE REGION WITH A HIGH LIKELIHOOD TEMPS ACROSS THE EASTERN
PLAINS WILL TOP THE 60 DEGREE MARK FOR SUNDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL MOVE
ACROSS THE ROCKIES SUNDAY NIGHT WITH SNOW/RAIN CHANCES INCREASING
SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT IN ADVANCE OF THE WAVE. ENERGETIC ZONAL
FLOW WILL THEN REMAIN OVERHEAD THROUGH MONDAY AND TUESDAY WITH THE
BULK OF MOISTURE CONFINED TO THE PAC NORTHWEST. EXPECTING
MILD...BREEZY TO WINDY...AND DRY CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE THROUGH THIS
TIME.
