WV/IR CHANNEL SHOWS DRIER AIR PUNCHING IN AT MID TO HIGH LEVELS FROM SW. ALSO ASSOCIATED VORT MAX IN SE CO SHOULD MOVE INTO SW KS SHORTLY. THIS AREA TO KICK OFF (ONGOING) TSRAS AND THEN MOVE MOSTLY ENE. THINK CONCENTRATION OF TSRAS TO BE IN S/SE PTN MY CWA TONIGHT AND IN DDCS. LOTS OF CLOUDINESS MOST OF NIGHT.

COZ090>092-KSZ001>004-013>016-027>029-041-042-NEZ079>081-240600- HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS 1041 AM MDT FRI JUN 23 2000 HERE IS THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK FOR NORTHWEST KANSAS... SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA...AND EASTERN COLORADO. SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL BE REQUIRED THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. THE AIR MASS OVER THE REGION REMAINS MOIST AND UNSTABLE. AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE SHOULD REMAIN OVER EASTERN COLORADO ALTHOUGH IT IS A LITTLE FURTHER EAST TODAY. ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST. THIS WILL CAUSE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP OVER EASTERN COLORADO AFTER NOON MDT. THESE STORMS ARE THEN EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS NORTHWEST KANSAS AND EXTREME SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL BE NEEDED ALONG AND EAST OF A LINE FROM BENKELMAN NEBRASKA TO GOODLAND TO TRIBUNE. SINCE THE WIND SPEEDS ARE NOT THAT STRONG IN THE MIDDLE LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE...THE MAIN THREATS FROM THESE STORMS WILL BE LARGE HAIL AND WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH. DUE TO THE EXPECTED SLOW MOVEMENT OF THE THUNDERSTORMS AND MOIST AIR MASS...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE OVER THE ENTIRE AREA. BULLER
