.SHORT TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
Issued at 254 PM MDT Thu May 14 2026

Poor overnight humidity recoveries across much of the CWA has led to
a rapid decline in relative humidity this afternoon. Current
observations show widespread critical relative humidity values, with
much of the area showing single digit relative humidity. A trough
passing north of the CWA has also created windy conditions across
both southeast Wyoming and western Nebraska. Wind gusts in excess of
40 MPH have also been observed in much of the forecast area. This
combination has caused critical/increased fire danger for the area.
A Red Flag Warning remains in place through Friday evening for the
Nebraska panhandle for the fire danger, as well as a Special Weather
Statement for southeast Wyoming. Luckily, winds will weaken
overnight as the trough moves on to the east. Despite the lighter
winds, overnight humidity recoveries are still expected to be poor
with the very dry airmass still in place.

Unfortunately, similar conditions are once again forecast for
Friday. Temperatures will be virtually the same as Thursday, with
highs in the 70s and 80s. This is about 10 to 15 degrees above
average for mid-May. A zonal flow pattern will persist leading to
yet another breezy day. Fortunately, winds will be weaker than
Thursday, with gusts of about 30 MPH. Conditions will be just as dry
with another widespread day of relative humidity in the single
digits. Fire weather will once again be the main concern through the
day with mostly sunny skies. Winds will once again ease overnight,
but humidity recoveries remain on the poorer side.

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Issued at 254 PM MDT Thu May 14 2026

Saturday afternoon there looks to be some potential
for severe weather ahead of the trough. Lapse rates look to bounce
between 8.6 to 9.4 promoting the idea of the severe storm potential.
However, depending on how fast the trough gets here will determine
how fast the winds shift from Southwest flow to a flat zonal flow.
This will effectively cutoff the moisture advection into the region
and downslope flow may dry out and prevention any lifting of surface
moisture. Saturday into Sunday, an upper level trough will push its
way into the Pacific Northwest and send a front through the
Intermountain West. Some lobes of vorticity looks to accompany this
front to aide in the synoptic lift to help produce some weak showers
in the late afternoon to evening time period. By Sunday afternoon,
the trough becomes more positively tilted pushing some strong warm
air advection and vorticity lobes to give us some possibly strong
rain showers through Sunday evening. As this upper level trough
pushes through the Intermountain West Sunday night into Monday, the
700mb temperature gradient goes from a warm 8 to 10C and drops down
to about -6/-5C giving us a decent chance for a rain/snow mix to
possibly snow showers in the higher elevations above 7,000ft early
Monday morning and Monday night. During the day the summer sun is
likely to keep all the precipitation as rain outside the mountain
peaks for Southeast Wyoming. This trough is the start of an active
weather pattern for the work week as we look to get the chance for
precipitation almost every other day.

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY/...
Issued at 537 PM MDT Thu May 14 2026

Gusty conditions are in place this evening as zonal, downslope flow
is resulting in gusts as high as 30 knots, specifically over our
Wyoming sites. Expect VFR conditions throughout the TAF period as we
remain in a westerly flow regime and PWAT values are below the 10th
percentile across Wyoming and Western Nebraska, resulting in dry
conditions with just a few high clouds. Winds should decrease to 10-
15 knots out of the west after 05Z as gradient flow weakens thanks
to a departing thermal low located to our south. Winds will again
ramp up tomorrow after 15Z mainly at KLAR and KRWL with gusts of 30-
35 knots expected.
