AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS 203 PM MDT (303 PM CDT) SUN MAY 26 1996 MAIN PROBLEM FOR TODAY IS POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER THIS EVENING THAN SPEED OF CLEARING LATER IN THE PACKAGE. CONVECTION BREAKING OUT QUICKLY ACROSS SOUTHEAST COLORADO AS UPPER LOW MOVES TOWARD AREA. POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER WHERE SUN HAS BROKEN THROUGH ACROSS SOUTHERN FA AND WITH SPEED OF MOVEMENT...STORMS MAY YET BE BORDERLINE SEVERE INTO CENTRAL FA AS THEY MOVE OVER COLD DOME BEFORE WEAKENING INTO STRONG CATAGORY. WILL MENTION SEVERE IN FORECAST FOR ALL BUT NRN ZONES. WITH NORTHWEST FLOW AND PLENTY OF MOISTURE BEHIND LOW...WOULD EXPECT DRYING PROCESS TO BE QUITE SLOW. FAVOR ETA SPEED AND TIMING GIVEN ITS FARTHEST SOUTH POSITION WITH SURFACE LOW AND 850 TEMP INITIALIZATION WHICH WAS COOLEST AND AGREES BEST WITH REALITY. WILL KEEP MENTION OF SHOWERS INTO MONDAY EVENING...CENTRAL AND EAST. GLD 47/62/41/69 +43 HLC 52/63/47/70 +53 CBK 49/63/44/70 +43 MCK 50/60/43/67 +53 TRB 49/68/45/77 +31 ITR 47/62/43/69 +41 BARKER
