NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
242 PM MDT (342 PM CDT) THU JUL 15 1999

...FORECAST PROBLEMS WL BE POSNS OF BOUNDERIES WHICH WL AFFECT CHC
OF PCPN AND TEMPS...

BIT BEHIND THE EIGHT BALL DUE TO SLOW ARRIVAL OF MODEL AND HAVG TO
USE OTHER MEANS IN FCST PROCESS. ALSO MODELS OFFER A VARIETY OF
SOLNS. BASED ON RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY...PATTERN SEEN SO FAR THIS
SUMMER WITH FROPAS...AND BETTER INITIAL ANALYSIS ON SFC AND MID/UPR
LVL FEATURES WL PREFER THE ETA OVERALL. NGM/AVN LOOK TO NOT TAKE
FRONT FAR ENUF SOUTH SO THEY KEEP MSRBL PCPN FURTHER NORTH THAN THE
ETA.

7-5H S/W TO THE WEST OF CWA AS SEEN PER PROFILER WINDS AND SATL.
PREFRONTAL TROF/FIRST IN SERIES OF FRONTS HAS DVLPD TSRA OVR NW HALF
CWA. ALL THESE FEATURES WORK THEIR WAY ACROSS CWA DURG THE NIGHT.
LOCATIONS NW OF BNDRY HAVE LEAST CHC WITH SRN AND ERN CWA THE
GREATEST CHC. SOME DVLPMENT SEEN OVR SRN WY WITH CAA/JET DYNAMICS.
LOCATIONS BEHIND FIRST BNDRY COULD GET AFFECTED BY THAT.

STRONGER FRONT EXTENDING FROM SW SD INTO CNTRL WY. NOT SURE HOW FAR
SOUTH THIS BNDRY IS GOING TO GET. PRETTY COLD AIR BEHIND STRONGER
FRONT BUT BNDRY IS LAYED OUT IN A WEST TO EAST CONFIGURATION. ALSO
MAIN UPR LOW WL BE MOVING ALG US/CAN BORDER. ALSO HEIGHTS TMRW RISE
BEHIND S/WS THAT ARE GOING TO PASS THRU THE AREA TONIGHT. HWVR...
FRONTS HAVE HAD A TENDENCY TO GO FURTHER SOUTH THAN PROGGED IN THIS
CURRENT SYNOPTIC PATTERN.

WL GO WITH ETA...AND HAVE FRONT GO THE WHOLE WAY THROUGH CWA.
THEREFORE WITH DRIER MORE STABLE AIR MOVING IN LATER
TONIGHT/EARLY TMRW...GREATEST THREAT OF PCPN WL PUSHED FURTHER SOUTH
AND EAST WITH TIME. BASED ON ALL FACTORS WL ALSO GO BLO NGM MOS TEMP
GUIDANCE FOR BOTH MINS/MAXES THROUGH THE PERIOD. ALSO GOING BLO
NGM/AVN POPS TMRW NIGHT AS WELL.

.GLD...NONE.
