933 FXUS63 KGLD 130445 AFDGLD Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Goodland KS 945 PM MST Wed Nov 12 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... - Continued dry forecast through the remainder of the work week. - Gradual warming temperature trend through the work week. Near record to record highs possible Thursday and Friday. - Multiple chances at precipitation next week. && .SHORT TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... Issued at 100 PM MST Wed Nov 12 2025 An upper ridge will remain nearly stationary over the Rockies and adjacent plains as it gradually amplifies through Friday. This will result in mild temperatures and dry conditions. Highs will be in the 70s with lows mainly in the 40s. Winds will be light to occasionally breezy. A cold front associated with a shortwave trough moving through the northern plains will move through Friday night. No precipitation is expected with the front. There may be a few hours of breezy to windy conditions Saturday morning behind the front with northerly winds gusting 30 to 40 mph, diminishing Saturday afternoon. Temperatures on Saturday will be slightly cooler with highs in the upper 60s to lower 70s and lows Saturday night in the 30s. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... Issued at 100 PM MST Wed Nov 12 2025 Will see on more day of ridging on Sunday with temperatures in the 60s and breezy southeast winds. An upper low will eject out of the Four Corners region Sunday night and into the northern Rockies and plains on Monday. Model consistency and run-to-run continuity are poor. The general trend today is that most of the energy with this system will pass just north of the area, with dry slotting on the southern side potentially limiting precipitation chances. However, the GFS now suggesting a secondary low potentially cutting off in northeast Colorado which would bring better precipitation chances, but confidence in that solution is low. Temperatures still supportive of rain as opposed to snow with whatever precipitation does fall. Tuesday and Wednesday will be cooler with highs in the 40s and 50s with perhaps a few light showers ahead of the next system organizing in the desert southwest for late in the week. && .AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY/... Issued at 944 PM MST Wed Nov 12 2025 VFR conditions remain forecasted for each terminal for this TAF period. Some LLWS is occurring ahead of a surface trough that will shift winds to the northwest. These northwest winds are forecast to continue through the day Thursday before backing to the southwest again. An increase in mid to upper level cirrus will occur overnight and lingering through the morning hours Thursday. && .GLD WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KS...None. CO...None.
