.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 913 PM MST SAT JAN 11 2014
HIGH WIND CRITERIA HAS SOLIDLY BEEN HIT THIS EVENING ACROSS THE
ARLINGTON AREA...WITH GUSTS ABOVE 58 MPH AT NUMEROUS OBSERATIONS
SITES. OTHER PARTS OF THE WARNED AREA...MOST NOTABLY IN AND AROUND
THE SOUTHERN LARAMIE RANGE HAVE DROPPED OFF CONSIDERABLY. INITIAL
LOOK AT 00Z MODEL GUIDANCE POINTS TO PERHAPS A LULL CENTERED
AROUND 12Z...5 AM SUNDAY BEFORE RAMPING UP AGAIN THEREAFTER.
MODELS STILL SHOW A WIDESPREAD HIGH WIND EVENT TAKING SHAPE MAINLY
ACROSS SOUTHEAST WYOMING. WIDESPREAD WIND GUSTS TO AROUND 60 MPH
ARE LIKELY. OVERALL...LOCATIONS IN THE WESTERN NEBRASKA PANHANDLE
WILL BE JUST BELOW HIGH WIND CRITERIA...BUT SOLIDLY IN AN
ADVISORY. ASIDE FROM THE WIND...STILL AWAITING SNOW TO BEGIN
FALLING AT KRWL. MODELS HAVE DELAYED ITS ONSET BY A FEW HOURS...SO
SHOULD SEE IT BETWEEN 06-15Z THERE. SEVERAL INCHES OF NEW SNOW
ALONG WITH WINDY CONDITIONS WILL CREATE SOME POOR TRAVELING
CONDITIONS FOR A WHILE EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. SEE NO REASON TO MAKE
ANY CHANGES TO THE CURRENT HIGHLIGHT PACKAGE.
&&
.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 502 PM MST SAT JAN 11 2014
WINDS THIS AFTERNOON HAVE DIMINISHED SOMEWHAT ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA...BUT OBSERVATIONS ARE ALREADY SHOWING A TREND BACK UPWARD IN
THE WIND PRONE ARES ALONG AND WEST OF THE LARAMIE RANGE. WENT AHEAD
AND CANCELLED THIS AFTERNOONS WARNING FOR CENTRAL LARAMIE COUNTY AS
WINDS ARE LIGHTER IN COMPARISON TO EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON. MADE A
FEW OTHER CHANGES TO THE WIND HIGHLIGHTS TO ACCOUNT FOR CURRENT
OBSERVATIONS AND FUTURE TRENDS AS SUGGESTED BY 12Z/18Z MODELS. WENT
AHEAD AND STARTED THE WARNING EARLIER FOR NORTHERN CARBON COUNTY AS
NEARBY LOCATIONS WERE ALREADY GUSTING 60 TO 70 MPH. NEXT...ADDED IN
THE NORTHERN LARAMIE RANGE AND LARAMIE VALLEY TO THE WARNING FOR
TONIGHT. CONSENSUS BETWEEN THE MODELS INDICATES 700 MB WINDS WILL
PEAK AT AROUND 80 KTS OVER THE NORTHERN LARAMIE RANGE
TONIGHT...WHICH WOULD TRANSLATE TO SFC WIND SPEEDS GUSTING OVER 75
MPH HERE. WINDS WERE ALREADY GUSTY THIS AFTERNOON IN THE LARAMIE
VALLEY...ESPECIALLY NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE VALLEY...AND GUIDANCE
SUGGESTS WINDS WILL BE AS STRONG TONIGHT SO WENT AHEAD AND INCLUDED
THIS AREA IN THE WARNING AS WELL. THEN...EXTENDED THE WIND WARNINGS
TO ACCOUNT FOR TOMORROWS MORE WIDESPREAD WIND EVENT...AND EVEN INTO
MONDAY FOR THE WIND PRONE REGIONS AS CONFIDENCE IS HIGH THAT STRONG
WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THIS TIME.
THE WIDESPREAD EVENT TOMORROW WILL BE MORE OF A BORA TYPE EVENT AS A
RATHER POTENT SHORTWAVE AND COLD FRONT MOVE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
BEGINNING SUNDAY MORNING. THE COLD FRONT LOOKS TO MOVE EASTWARD
THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA EARLY IN THE MORNING...WITH MIDLEVEL
TROUGH OVERHEAD AROUND 18Z. BEHIND THE FRONT...WINDS WILL BE ON THE
RISE WITH STRONG WINDS EXPECTED TO BE MORE WIDESPREAD ACROSS THE CWA
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON DUE TO STRONG PRESSURE RISES AND INCREASING
SUBSIDENCE BEHIND THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH AS IT MOVES EASTWARD.
AGAIN...EXTENDED THE CURRENT WARNINGS TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS BORA TYPE
WIND EVENT THAT WILL RAMP UP QUICKLY SHORTLY AFTER SUNRISE. WILL
ALSO EXTEND WIND HIGHLIGHTS TO INCLUDE MORE OF THE EASTERN PLAINS
STARTING AT 14Z. WILL INCLUDING GOSHEN...LARAMIE AND KIMBALL
COUNTIES IN THE WARNING...WITH A WIND ADVISORY FOR THE REMAINDER OF
THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE. COULD SEE NEAR WARNING CRITERIA FOR SCOTTS
BLUFF...BANNER...AND CHEYENNE COUNTIES IN THE PANHANDLE TOMORROW
AFTERNOON BUT AT THIS TIME CONFIDENCE IS SOMEWHAT LOW IN THIS
SITUATION PANNING OUT. WILL LET THE NIGHT SHIFT TAKE ANOTHER LOOK.
WITH REGARDS TO SNOW POTENTIAL...UPGRADED THE WINTER STORM WATCH TO
A WARNING FOR THE MOUNTAINS AS STRONG SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL
COMBINE WITH THE COLD FRONT AND UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE TO BRING A GOOD
CHANCE FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW TONIGHT. STRONG WESTERLY UPSLOPE FLOW
AND LLVL MOISTURE WILL PERSIST THROUGH MONDAY MORNING IN THIS
PATTERN...WITH SNOW LOOKING TO TAPER OFF MONDAY AFTERNOON SO
EXTENDED THE WARNING THROUGH THIS TIME. STORM TOTAL SNOW SHOULD
RANGE ANYWHERE FROM 10 TO 17 INCHES IN THE MOUNTAINS...WITH SOME
HIGHER TOTALS POSSIBLE ALONG WEST FACING SLOPES. ALONG WITH THE
SNOW WILL BE VERY STRONG WINDS WHICH WILL REDUCE VISIBILITIES TO
NEAR ZERO AT TIMES AND MAKE FOR EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TRAVEL CONDITIONS.
CONDITIONS WILL DRY OUT FOR TUESDAY...ALTHO FAST FLOW ALOFT AND
INCREASING SUBSIDENCE ON THE ANTICYCLONIC SIDE OF THE JET WILL
MAINTAIN STRONG WINDS IN THE WIND PRONE AREAS OF SOUTHEAST WYOMING.
THEREFORE...WILL LIKELY SEE HIGH WIND WARNINGS CONTINUE IN THESE
AREAS.
.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 502 PM MST SAT JAN 11 2014
OVERALL CONSENSUS OF THE 12Z NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE DEPICTS A
HIGHLY AMPLIFIED UPPER LEVEL PATTERN DOMINATED BY A RIDGE FROM THE
ROCKIES WESTWARD AND A TROUGH FROM THE GREAT PLAINS EASTWARD. UPPER
JET RESPONSIBLE FOR THE STRONG WESTERLY EARLY IN THE WEEK WILL SHIFT
EAST AS THE RIDGE BUILDS EAST TOWARD THE CWA. AS A RESULT...THE LOW
LEVEL PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL RELAX WITH WINDS DECREASING BUT STILL
BREEZY FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK. THE LAST IN THE SERIES OF
SHORTWAVES IN THE NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL BRING SOME LIGHT
PRECIPITATION TO NORTHERN AND WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA TUESDAY.
NO SENSIBLE WEATHER IS EXPECTED TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY AS
THE MAIN STORM TRACK WILL AFFECT THE UPPER MIDWEST...GREAT LAKES AND
NORTHEAST.
AFTER A SLIGHT COOL DOWN TUESDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE 30S TO MID 40S...
