218 am MST Thursday Dec 4 2008 


Burlington was the first to report snowfall within the forecast 
area. Expect the snow to spread across the majority of the County Warning Area 
this morning with 2 to 3 inches of snow is possible across the far 
west portion of the forecast area with lesser amounts east. The snowfall is 
in response to a shortwave trough currently moving across the High 
Plains. Light northerly winds will continue through today keeping 
cold air in place with the maximum temperature for today remaining 
chilly...lower 20s west and middle to upper 20s further east. By 
tonight...the shortwave trough will have moved out of the area and 
subsidence will move overhead. This will help end any remaining 
snowfall as skies will begin to clear out overnight. This will aid 
in maximum radiational cooling. That coupled with any snow on the 
ground will allow temperatures to once again drop into the lower 
teens. 


Going into Friday...southerly winds briefly pick up-bringing 
warmer air back into place. Temperatures should modify closely to 
normal values in the lower 40s and warm into the 50s by Saturday. 


Through the weekend...long wave pattern has a broad 500 mb ridge over 
the southwest states keeping the High Plains under northwest flow. A 
cold front will push into the forecast area Monday afternoon...re- 
introducing snow to the forecast. 


Made no changes to the extended.

For the 18z taf...will see IFR to LIFR ceilings/visible at kgld as light 
to moderate snow continues to fall through the early evening hours 
before tapering off. Once precipitation ends...should see IFR ceilings 
continue as low stratus hangs around through around 12z Friday. Anticipate 
VFR conditions at kmck through the effective taf period with 
precipitation remaining south of the terminal for the most part. Can't 
rule out a brief period of light snow at kmck confidence in 
temporal and spatial coverage is too low to warrant inclusion at 
this time.
