THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN THAT DEVELOPED IN THE UPPER-LEVELS YESTERDAY

SOME RIDGING OVER THE ROCKIES. THIS PATTERN WILL HOST A
METEOROLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT FAVORABLE FOR QUIET AND BENIGN WEATHER.
ADDITIONALLY, LONG-RANGED MODELS HAVE THIS SETUP CONTINUING THROUGH
AND BEYOND THE FORECAST PERIOD. THE LREF HINTS AT A MORE ZONAL FLOW
BEYOND THE FORECAST PERIOD AT AROUND THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. DOWN
CLOSER TO THE SURFACE, MESOANALYSIS HAS NO SIGNIFICANT SYSTEMS
IMPACTING SW KANSAS. SOME HIGH PRESSURE RESIDES OVER THE ROCKIES,
BUT OTHERWISE CLEAR WEATHER IS EXPECTED AS A RESULT. MOSTLY CLEAR TO
CLEAR SKIES WITH A LIGHT (10-15) WINDS ARE FORECAST THE NEXT COUPLE
DAYS. SNOWPACK IS QUICKLY RECEDING AS TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE 40S
ACROSS MUCH OF SW KANSAS. AREAS WHERE THE HIGHEST SNOWFALL AMOUNTS
