...New AVIATION...
.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 308 PM MDT Tue Apr 11 2023
Another mild night is expected tonight with lows generally 5-15
degrees above seasonal averages. Wednesday will be warm again with
breezy to locally windy southerly winds and the potential for
isolated showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon in western
NM. Wind gusts of 35 to 55 mph along with widespread critical
fire weather conditions are expected Thursday and Friday. Cooler
weather arrives late week, but a warming trend over the weekend
will bring temperatures back above average.
&&
.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Wednesday night)
Issued at 308 PM MDT Tue Apr 11 2023
Upper ridge lingering over NM into Wednesday, although winds aloft
over the western portion of the state will become more
southwesterly. A surface lee trough will strengthen Wednesday,
leading to south to southwesterly breezy to locally windy conditions
over the eastern plains in the afternoon. Highs Wednesday will be
within a few degrees of today`s highs and about 5 to nearly 20
degrees warmer than average. Overnight lows will also be about 5-15
degrees warmer than normal.
High based cumulus clouds developing over the western and southern
high terrain likely won`t result in any precipitation this afternoon
and evening, despite the isolated minuscule amounts suggested by the
HRRR and NAM12. The low levels remain pretty dry so gusty winds
would be more likely in the vicinity of any buildups. Increasing mid
level moisture Wednesday along with afternoon heating is still
indicated to produce isolated to scattered showers and a few
thunderstorms, some of which may be dry with gusty winds, between
the RGV and the AZ border and where SPC Day 2 general thunderstorm
area is outlined. Convection persists into Wednesday evening but
shifting focus into northwest and north central NM.
&&
.LONG TERM...
(Thursday through Monday)
Issued at 308 PM MDT Tue Apr 11 2023
Recent guidance has trended slightly slower with the approaching
trough. The development of a lee-side low in northeast Colorado
will still generate southwesterly winds of 20-30 mph across most
of the state Thursday afternoon. The strongest winds will occur in
the northeast where gusts up to 55 mph are possible. Model
soundings show an increase in 400-700 mb layer moisture on
Thursday afternoon in the eastern plains which could allow for the
development of some isolated high based convection. Given
dewpoint depressions in excess of 30C, localized gusty winds and
dry lightning are more likely than wetting rains.
The slower exit of the trough on Friday has also resulted in an
increase in wind speeds on Friday afternoon behind the cold front.
West to northwest wind gusts of 30-45 mph will be commonplace in
central and eastern NM with gusts up to 55 mph possible along and
immediately east of the central mountain chain. Some rain and snow
showers are also possible in the northern NM on Friday afternoon
with a trailing wave, but precipitation will be light and generally
confined to the high terrain. Winds quickly diminish Friday after
sunset and the exiting surface low will drive a fast-moving backdoor
cold front southward across the eastern plains, dropping lows a few
degrees below seasonal averages there.
A building ridge over the weekend will bring about another warming
trend. Depending on how far north the ridge moves, some return flow
make sneak into eastern NM on Monday and Tuesday of next week,
allowing for some afternoon thunderstorms to develop if a shortwave
is able to sneak underneath the ridge as indicated by some models.
&&
.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 556 PM MDT Tue Apr 11 2023
Isolated showers and thunderstorms over south central and
southwest areas are forecast to diminish with sunset. Scattered
to isolated showers and thunderstorms, some with little or no
rain, will develop west of the Rio Grande on Wednesday afternoon.
Movement should generally be toward the northeast around 20-25
mph. Stronger cells will be capable of dry or mostly dry
microbursts with wind gusts around 45 kt. Wednesday evening,
showers, storms, and virga showers will favor northwest areas
north of I-40.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 308 PM MDT Tue Apr 11 2023
High based cumulus over the west and south this afternoon shouldn`t
have much of an impact, if any, although an isolated buildup could
produce localized gusty winds. The upper ridge starts to break down
Wednesday but moreso Wednesday night and Thursday, as the incoming
upper trough is now slower moving and potentially tracking slightly
farther north. The mid level moisture advection continues Wednesday
with afternoon heating to produce isolated to scattered showers and
a few thunderstorms between the AZ border and the RGV, some of which
will be dry with gusty winds, given the dry low levels of the
atmosphere. Isolated dry convection is also possible in far eastern
New Mexico Thursday. Critical fire weather conditions are likely
over northeast New Mexico Wednesday afternoon and over a larger area
Thursday while temperatures remain around 5 to nearly 20 degrees
above normal. Friday may see critical fire weather conditions as
well over the central and east, although temperatures will be near
to below normal.
This weekend features high temperatures within about 5 degrees of
normal and dry weather with gusty northwest winds on Saturday and
breezy southwest winds Sunday.

Area Forecast Discussion...Updated
National Weather Service Billings MT
848 PM MDT Tue Apr 11 2023
.UPDATE...
Updated forecast to cancel the High Wind Warning and Wind Advisory
for western areas, as winds have been decreasing and will continue
to do so through the night. At 02Z, the cold front was entering
the far northern tier of the forecast area, as evidenced by a
shift to northerly winds with a drop in temps and rise in
dewpoints. Radar showed a few showers NW of the forecast area with
a few echoes over the SW mountains. Clouds were increasing in
Judith Gap per webcams. The showers to the NW were light per the
ob at KLWT and the webcam there. Models had the front dropping S
through most of the area overnight. Front appears to get hung up
around the Beartooth/Red Lodge Foothills by morning due to an
inverted trough originating from low pressure over WY. The trough
will help to focus more precipitation over the area on Wednesday.
For tonight, models are mainly dry, with moisture hanging back
over NW and W parts of the area behind the surface front, closer
to the jet. Noted the HRRR tried to bring a line of precipitation
through the central part of the area later tonight, but other
models and inherited PoPs kept the precip. NW and W of KBIL, which
seemed reasonable. No other changes to forecasts or the ongoing
Winter Storm Watch or Flood Advisories. Arthur
&&
.DISCUSSION...
Tonight through Thursday...
Winds continue to be gusty this afternoon, especially from
Billings, west. Emigrant has seen gusts as high as 62 mph with
Livingston up to 58 mph. These winds will be coming down through
the late afternoon and evening when a cold front ends the wind
threat. Given the potential for continued mix down through the
afternoon and into the evening, have left the wind highlights in
place.
The pattern will will turn cooler and wetter through midweek
behind the cold front tonight. Models continues to show a lag in
the precipitation arriving later in the day Wednesday. Models have
become consistent with how wet the trough will be through
Thursday. Given the uncertainty over the last few days, will give
the models one more run to see if the trends continue before
upgrading to warnings in the Winter Storm Watch area. Snow amounts
in the east have come down a little from Billings eastward. Still
expecting 6 to 10 inches in the western foothills, with the Crazy
Mountains with good upslope flow into the terrain expecting 1 to
2 feet.
On the hydrological front, with the warm temperatures today, will
continue to see a response in area waterways as the snowmelt
works out of the mountains, but with the cooler temperatures
through the rest of the week, this should slow down, reducing any
minor flooding concerns.
Reimer
Friday through Tuesday...
Wet and unsettled weather will continue into Friday this week.
The main trough will begin to exit the region Thursday night, but
an embedded shortwave within the exiting trough will move through
the region on Friday. This wave will mainly bring snow to the
mountains (50-60% chance for another 2 inches). However, lower
elevations will still have a chance (30-50%) for rain/snow
showers, especially if the mid- week system evolves into the
slower and deeper solution. This could create a difficult Friday
morning commute. By Friday night, heights will begin to increase
as a ridge approaches from the west for the weekend. Overall,
skies will clear on Saturday allowing things to dry out a bit,
however there is still a chance for some shallow diurnal showers
mostly in the east Saturday afternoon. By Sunday and Monday, our
weather will be dry and warm under a ridging pattern.
High temperatures Friday will be in the 40s before warming into
the 50s Saturday. Sunday through Tuesday will be above normal
again with highs in the 60s and potentially lower 70s, with Monday
being the warmest. By Tuesday, the ridge axis will pass through
our region opening the door for precipitation chances once again
mid next week. Arends

.AVIATION...
Strong southwest winds will gust 40-50kts at KLVM, K6S0, and
K3HT, this afternoon and early this evening. A frontal passage
will move through the area mid to late evening (02-05z at KLVM.
KBIL and KMLS), then after 06z at KSHR. The front will provide
northwest gusts of 30-35kts, eventually switching to the
northeast. A few weak showers will develop along the cold front
and push across the area with the front. The showers will be weak
with only light rain expected, accompanied be gusty winds.
otherwise, VFR conditions are expected the remainder of the
afternoon and tonight. TWH

...Aviation Update...
.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 235 PM CDT Tue Apr 11 2023
Key Messages:
- Dry, windy, and warm conditions will result in critical fire
weather conditions on Wednesday. A Red Flag Warning is now in
effect for much of western and north central Nebraska Wednesday
afternoon and evening.
- Elevated to near-critical fire weather concerns exist on
Thursday due to continued warm, dry, and windy conditions.
- Showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected Thursday
afternoon and evening. Even though the severe potential remains
low, the greatest impact will come from the potential for dry
lighting and damaging winds within any strong storms that do
develop.
- Widespread rain showers continue Friday into Saturday with a
rain/snow mix possible across northwestern Nebraska Friday
night.
- Dry and tranquil conditions return with temperatures warming
back into the above normal range this weekend into early next
week.
Recent GOES-16 WV imagery and RAP 500-mb analysis showed a cyclone
off the Pacific coast of British Columbia (BC). Further downstream
an upper-level trough was located off the coast of the Baja
Peninsula. A strong ridge was evident across the southern Rockies
extending northeastward across the Central Plains. Further
southeast of this feature, a positively upper-level trough was
situated across the Texas and Louisiana border with cyclonic flow
extending across much of the mid Mississippi Valley into the
Southern Plains. At the surface, a leeside trough was apparent
across Colorado with broad surface ridging of high pressure across
the Tennessee Valley. Gusty southwesterly winds have developed in
response to the tightening surface pressure gradient (SPG)
between the two surface features with recent observations of
around 30 to 35 mph across much of the area and peak gusts of
near 45 mph across the northern Sandhills. Efficient mixing has
led to warming across the area with temperatures ranging from 84
degrees at Broken Bow to 89 degrees at Valentine as of 3 PM CT. A
Red Flag Warning remains in effect for all of western and north
central Nebraska through this evening. See Fire Weather Discussion
for more information.
&&
.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday night)
Issued at 235 PM CDT Tue Apr 11 2023
Tonight...Overnight lows will remain well-above the seasonal normal
in the 40s and 50s. Gusty southwesterly winds with gusts of 25 to 30
mph will continue through the night. These gusty winds will subside
some for a brief period early Wednesday morning before increasing
again and bringing another windy day to western and north central
Nebraska on Wednesday.
Wednesday...As the aforementioned upper-level trough off the shore
of BC pushes and deepens on shore of the PNW on Wednesday, broad
upper-level ridging will persist across much of the central and
southern CONUS. This will lead to another dry and warm day for
western and north central Nebraska on Wednesday. Abundant warm air
advection (WAA) of H85 temperatures in the 20 to 27 C range will
keep surface temperatures on the warmer side of guidance. These
summer-like temperatures will rise into the mid to upper 80s with
some area readings of 90 degrees expected. This anomalously warm
event is further supported by the NAEFS and ECMWF ensemble
suggesting that the mean temperature at H85-5 will meet or exceed
the 97th climatological percentile.
These warm temperatures will promote afternoon humidity values
falling as low as 10 percent. These critically low relative humidity
values will combine with the continued gusty southerly winds due to
the continue SPG across the area. Gusts of 25 to 30 mph will be
common across the area during the day into the evening on Wednesday.
All of this combined will result in critical fire weather conditions
across western and north central Nebraska. A Red Flag Warning is now
in effect for much of western and north central Nebraska from noon
to 7PM CDT. See Fire Weather Discussion for further information.
Isolated thunderstorms are possible Wednesday evening across the
Panhandle into the northwestern Sandhills ahead of the deepening
mid-level trough across the Great Basin/Intermountain West.
Although the flow aloft does increase supporting moderate bulk
shear (Effective Shear 30 to 40kts), limited surface moisture will
limit buoyancy which limits the severe potential. A few elevated
storms are also possible given the strong WAA from the strengthening
low-level jet (LLJ) across the area.
Wednesday night...The gusty winds increase even further Wednesday
night as a result from the aforementioned strengthening LLJ
across the area. Gusts of 20 to 30 mph will be common across
northwestern Nebraska into the northern Sandhills with the
strongest gusts of 30 to 45 mph will be felt across southwestern
and portions of north central Nebraska. In regards to lows,
western and north central Nebraska will see 20 to 25 degrees above
the seasonal normal for early April in the upper 40s to mid 50s.
.LONG TERM...(Thursday through Tuesday)
Issued at 235 PM CDT Tue Apr 11 2023
Thursday and Thursday night...The aforementioned upper-level trough
will cross the Intermountain West Wednesday night into Thursday.
This will force a cold front to drop southeast across the region
on Thursday stalling out across the northwestern half of the
forecast area. Lee troughing will also deepen across the central
and southern High Plains, with surface cyclogenesis anticipated
over northeastern Colorado near the stalled front. Model solutions
vary on the timing of the frontal passage leading to a
challenging temperature forecast for Thursday. This is highlighted
by large standard deviations of 5 to near 13 degrees for the
northern half of the forecast area. However, the ECMWF Extreme
Forecast Index (EFI) for Max Temperature has a value of 0.8, which
suggests high model confidence in continued anomalously warm
temperatures on Thursday. Given this, will continue to trend
towards the warmer side of guidance for Thursday`s high
temperatures. Daytime highs are forecast to range from the upper
60s to low 70s across the northwestern Sandhills with areas
elsewhere seeing temperatures in the 80s to near 90 degrees across
southwestern Nebraska. These warm temperatures will promote
afternoon humidity values to fall below 20 percent on Thursday.
Strong southerly winds continue due to the tightened SPG across
the area with gusts increasing to 25 to 30 mph across the western
and northern Sandhills with the strongest gusts in excess of 40
mph expected across north central and southwestern Nebraska. All
of this combined will create elevated to near-critical fire
weather concerns for Thursday.
The aforementioned surface low will move eastward into western
Kansas and Nebraska Thursday night. The LLJ strengthens again which
will lead to vigorous WAA across the front. Low-level moisture will
remain rather limited, however, increasing mid-level moisture
combined with strong WAA will support isolated thunderstorms across
western and north central Nebraska. A narrow band of mixed-layer
CAPE of 500 to 1200 J/kg combined with effective-bulk shear
values exceeding 40kts and sufficient low-level lapse rates may
even support an isolated severe storm or two. Dry lightning and
gusty downburst winds will be greatest impacts from the strongest
storms that do develop, though hail up to 1 inch cannot be ruled
out.
Temperatures cool Thursday night as the front sweeps across the area
bringing lows back into the mid 30s and 40s across northwestern
Nebraska to the 50s across southwestern Nebraska. Rain showers and
isolated thunderstorms will continue through the night on
Thursday.
Friday and Saturday...Lingering showers and embedded thunderstorms
continue into Friday morning. A very brief lull of precipitation is
expected late Friday morning before the next disturbance treks
across the area bringing widespread rain showers back into the
region. A narrow band of weak CAPE values of ~500 J/kg sets up for
areas east of Highway 83 which may be able to support some rumbles
of thunder during the day on Friday. Given the lack of instability,
the severe potential remains very low. Precipitation will gradually
track eastward on Friday before exiting the area on Saturday.
Cold air quickly encompasses the area in the wake of the departing
system Saturday morning bringing a chance for some rain/snow mix or
some very wet snowflakes to locations west of Highway 83. No impacts
are expected with any of the mixed precipitation as temperatures on
Saturday will quickly warm into the 50s. While this system will bring a
good opportunity for rainfall, coverage will favor being
scattered. Current QPF amounts range from a few hundreths of an
inch across southwestern Nebraska to around a quarter of an inch
for portions of north central Nebraska. Confidence at this range
in the forecast remains rather low, especially given the spread
amongst model solutions. Regardless, Thursday night through
Saturday morning appears the best chance for wetting moisture
across western and north central Nebraska.
Sunday and beyond...Weak upper-level ridging and surface high
pressure returns to bring dry and warm conditions back to western
and north central Nebraska. Temperatures warm to above normal into
the 70s by Monday.
&&
.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Wednesday evening)
Issued at 625 PM CDT Tue Apr 11 2023
Low-level wind shear will be of concern tonight across portions of
southwest through north central Nebraska. Otherwise gusty
south winds at the surface will diminish some later tonight. VFR
conditions will prevail all areas with south winds gusty again
Wednesday afternoon.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 235 PM CDT Tue Apr 11 2023
For this evening and tonight, strong southerly wind gusts of 35 to
45 mph will continue through through the late evening before
subsiding some after sunset. As of 3PM CT, several active
wildfires have been reported across the area. Recent area
observations show locations across western and north central
Nebraska seeing relative humidity values fallen into the teens
with some sites seeing relative humidities as low as 5 percent.
Poor relative humidity recovery is anticipated tonight with values
only rising to near 50 to 60 percent.
For Wednesday, warm temperatures continue on Wednesday with highs
in the 80s to near 90 degrees across western and north central
Nebraska. These anomalously warm temperatures will promote
minimum humidity values to fall as low as 15 percent. This
combined with south wind gusts up to 35 mph will result in another
day of critical fire weather conditions. A Red Flag Warning is
now in effect for Fire Weather Zones 206, 209, 210, and 219 from 1
to 7 PM CT.
Though minimum relative humidity values bottom out into the teens
across the western and northern Sandhills (Fire Weather Zones 204
and 208), lighter wind gusts at 20 mph or less will limit overall
fire weather concerns for those areas.
For Thursday, elevated fire weather concerns exist with near-
critical concerns for areas south of I-80, including Fire Weather
Zones 210 and 219. The lowest relative humidity values and
strongest winds will be seen across southwestern Nebraska.
However, variations with the timing of the cold front forecasted
to cross the area continues to lead to some uncertainty in the
extent of the fire weather concerns.
Isolated thunderstorms are expected Thursday evening across much
of western and north central Nebraska. Dry lightning and gusty
downburst winds will be greatest impacts from any strong storms
that do develop.
For Friday and beyond, as the cold front sweeps across the area,
an abrupt wind shift from the south to the north is anticipated
early Friday morning. Winds will remain strong with gusts in
excess of 40 mph possible, however, widespread rain showers and
cooler temperatures will promote an increase in relative
humidities above critical thresholds. This will result in limited
fire weather concerns for Friday into the weekend. Total rainfall
amounts are expected to be light from a tenth to a quarter inch,
although higher amounts of a half inch are possible. This will be
the best potential for wetting moisture across western and north
central Nebraska the next 7 days.
