AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS 756 PM MST (856 PM CST) FRI MAR 24 1995 RECOMMENDATIONS... DISCUSSION: FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS WHETHER CONTINUED CHC OF THUNDER TNGT. CONVECTION THAT FIRED TO N OF AREA NOT DVLPG MUCH AND CERTAINLY STARTING TO LOSE EFFECT OF DAYTIME HEATING. THINK WE CAN FORGET ABOUT CONVECTION REST OF TNGT IN CO AND WRN TIER OF KS CNTIES WHERE DRY LINE HAS PUSHED THROUGH AND CLEANED OUT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE. THIS VERY DRY AIR SHOULD ALSO HELP HOLD OFF ANY DVLPG UPSLOPE PCPN TIL 2ND PD. IN OUR MORE ERN CNTIES...LOCAL MESO ANALYSIS CONTINUES TO SHOW WELL DEVELOPED THETA-E RIDGE. SAT PIX SHOWS PERTURBATION MOVING UP FROM SW IN THIS DIRECTION. ALSO WITH COLD FRNT SFC ANALYSIS NOW SHWS DVLPG OVR SE WY AND NE CO COMING DWN LATE TNGT TO INTERACT WITH DRY LINE...WOULD MAINTAIN CHC POPS TO OUR E. CURRENT TEMPS LOOK ABT ON TRACK XCP WOULD DROP A CAT IN WRN KS AND NE FOR DRYLINE. SFC LOW SEEMS TO BE DVLPG ALMOST EXACTLY WHERE ALL MODELS SAY AND WOULD ADJUST WINDS ACCORDING ALLOWING FOR CROSS-ISOBARIC NIGHT EFFECTS. KWIATKOWSKI
