MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE PATH OF A POWERFUL AND
STRENGTHENING TROUGH MOVING THROUGH THE CENTRAL PLAINS SATURDAY
NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. THIS WILL SEND A STRONG COLD FRONT INTO OUR AREA
SUNDAY, RESULTING IN NORTH/NORTHWEST WINDS IN THE 25 TO 35 MPH RANGE
WITH GUSTS OVER 50 MPH POSSIBLE. A HIGH WIND WARNING, OR AT THE VERY
LEAST A WIND ADVISORY WILL EVENTUALLY BE NEEDED. BEHIND THE FRONT
SUNDAY NIGHT, TEMPERATURES WILL DROP INTO THE UPPER 20S TO LOWER 30S
WITH A FREEZE LIKELY FOR MOST OF THE BIG COUNTRY, AND A POTENTIAL
FROST OR SHORT-LIVED FREEZE FOR THE REST OF THE AREA. TEMPERATURES
MONDAY WILL ONLY WARM INTO THE 50S, RUNNING 15 TO 20 DEGREES BELOW
OUR NORMAL HIGHS IN THE LOWER 70S.
FOLLOWING THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE, AND EXIT OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH, AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL DEVELOP OVER THE
DESERT SOUTHWEST BY TUESDAY, AND REMAIN THERE THROUGH MOST OF NEXT
WEEK. THIS WILL KEEP OUR UPPER LEVEL FLOW OUT OF THE NORTH, AND OUR
FORECAST DRY. TEMPERATURES WILL WARM BACK UP TO NEAR NORMAL BY
TUESDAY, AND CONTINUE WARMING THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK, WITH
HIGHS AROUND 90 BY FRIDAY. SKIES WILL BE PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLEAR, AND
WINDS WILL BE OUT OF THE SOUTH FROM TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
