Area forecast discussion, Jul 1, 2:19 PM MDT, 5 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS 219 PM MDT (319 PM CDT) SAT JUL 1 1995 TIMING OF SHORTWAVES APPEAR TO BE MAIN TRICK THIS TIME AROUND. RAIN HAS ABOUT MOVED OUT OF NERN CWA AT 18Z AND CIGS HAVE GONE UP MOST EVERYWHERE BUT GLD. SOUTHWESTERN CWA HAS MOVED INTO THE 60S AND LAA HAS MOVED INTO THE 70S. WITH NEXT WAVE MOVING IN FROM THE CENTRAL ROCKIES AND DEWPOINTS IN ADVANCE OF SYSTEM IN THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 50S...A FEW BREAKS SHOULD ALLOW DECENT DESTABILIZATION. THUNDERSTORM ALREADY IN VICINITY OF COS AND AS AFTERNOON PROGRESSES WOULD EXPECT ACTIVITY TO FIRE JUST EAST OF FRONT RANGE... PARTICULARLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF PALMER DIVIDE WHERE MORE BREAKS AREW OCCURING...THEN PROPAGATE EAST. BOTH NGM AND ETA GRIDDED DATA SHOW EXCELLENT 700-850 MOISTURE CONVERGENCE OVER WRN CWA BY 00Z. LOW LEVEL TEMPS ARE COOL ENOUGH THAT SEVERE THREAT IS PROBABLY LOW...EXCEPT MAYBE EXTREME SW CWA...BUT AT LEAST SOME THUNDER A GOOD BET ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION AS DYNAMICS MOVES EAST. RWD AND GLD VWP SHOW 20-30 KT SOUTHERLY FLOW BRINGING GOOD MOISTURE TRANSPORT. WITH MODELS INDICATING INTENSIFYING LEE TROUGH OVER CWA BY 00Z MON AND SOUTHEAST WINDS PROGGED TO CONTINUE TO KEEP ATMOSPHERE MOIST... WOULD THINK POPS AGAIN WARRENTED SUNDAY. THOUGH SOME WESTERLY COMPONENT TO LOW LEVEL FLOW FORECASTED FOR CO COUNTIES...ENOUGH RESIDUAL MOISTURE AND WEAK DISTURBANCES LINGERING TO PROBABLY WARRENT AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE. LIKE WETTER FAN POPS OVER FWCS. THOUGH WITH PLENTY OF CLOUDS AND SOUTHEAST FLOW FOR ALL BUT WRN CWA...FAN PROBABLY HAS TOO LARGE DIURNAL RANGE...RECOMMEND COMPROMISE BETWEEN FAN/FWC. BARKER

THESE DISTURBANCES...IN COMBINATION WITH THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IN PLACE ACROSS THE AREA...AND COOLER MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES...WILL LIKELY ALLOW THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE PLAINS OF EASTERN COLORADO THIS AFTERNOON. THESE STORMS WILL THEN PROPAGATE EASTWARD INTO SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA AND NORTHWEST KANSAS. SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUD COVER ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE COLORADO COUNTIES AND THOSE KANSAS COUNTIES SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 70 THIS AFTERNOON. THIS LIMITED SUNSHINE MAY FURTHER DESTABILIZE THE ATMOSPHERE...AND ALLOW ANY STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP...OR MOVE INTO... THESE AREAS TO BECOME QUITE STRONG. A FEW OF THESE STORMS MAY BRIEFLY BECOME SEVERE...WITH THE GREATEST THREAT OF LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS SOUTHWEST OF A YUMA/BURLINGTON/SHARON SPRINGS/LEOTI LINE.
