New AVIATION
DISCUSSION
Southwest winds are expected to pick up into the 20 to 30 mph range with higher gusts on Saturday as a surface low intensifies over southeast Colorado into southwest Kansas. The dryline is expected to push east to very near the Oklahoma state line by late in the afternoon. This dryline is expected to help thunderstorms fire by late afternoon. These storms, if they develop in our area, will quickly move east into Oklahoma. A cold front will then move across the Panhandles Saturday night and most of the area will be cooler by about 5 to 10 degrees on Sunday. An upper level low will move from Colorado on Saturday through Nebraska and into South Dakota by Sunday. A weak short wave may produce some showers in the Oklahoma Panhandle Sunday night.
The flow aloft then becomes more zonal on Monday and Tuesday which will encourage lee-side cyclogenesis with southwest winds increasing into the 15 to 25 mph range by Tuesday. The southwest winds will help make Tuesday the warmest day of this forecast.
The flow aloft then becomes more southwesterly by Wednesday ahead of a positively tilted upper trough moving southeast through the northern Rockies. Upper heights will also fall a little, so high temperatures may be just a shade cooler than Tuesday.
A cold front moves through the Panhandles Wednesday night in association with our positively tilted trough moving into the Central High Plains. A few showers or thunderstorms will be possible, mainly across the eastern Panhandles Wednesday night into Thursday as a couple of short wave troughs move across in the southwest flow aloft.

VFR conditions will prevail with southwest winds in the 10-15kt range through about 16z. Thereafter winds will pick up and be in the 20-25kt range with gusts up to 40kts through about 0-02z. Only potential for lowered categories is if we get blowing dust enough to reduce visibilities below VFR. At this time confidence is not high enough to not BLDU or note any vis restrictions.
