Area forecast discussion, Jul 10, 3:26 PM CDT, 1 hour 42 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS 226 PM MDT MON JUL 10 2000 ATTM THE 88D WAS INDICATING SOME TSRA ACTIVITY JUST NW FA AND A FEW SHRA WERE JUST DEVELOPING OVR THE NNE CWA POSSIBLY ALONG A WEAK COOL FRONT WHICH SEEMS HAVE STALLED ACRS OUR N FA. ALSO A WEAK BOUNDARY WAS EVIDENT JUST TO THE SOUTH OF GLD WHERE TSRA WERE DEVELOPING RAPIDLY ATTM. I AM LEANING TOWARD THE ETA SOLN WHICH ANALYZED THIS MORNING PCPN BETTER THAN THE OTHERS AND AS WINDS SHIFT TO THE SE I EXPECT THIS FRONT TO RETREAT NORTH AS A WARM FRONT. THE 5H/HIGH THAT DOMINATED OUR WX FOR THE PAST WEEK DRIFTED SLIGHTLY EAST WHICH ALLOWED SOME GULF MOISTR WRAPPING AROUND THE HIGH TO EDGE INTO OUR CWA. I EXPECT THIS AREA OF SHRA ACTIVITY TO INCREASE THROUGHOUT THE DAY AS A MID LVL VORT MAX DRIFTS INTO THE WESTERN FA BY EVENING. ALSO OUR SFC WINDS VEER TO THE ESE THIS AFTN ALLOWING ADDITIONAL MOISTR INTO THE CWA AND K INDE VALUES RISE TO 40C OR ABOVE. IN ADDITION 7H/MB TMPS COOL AND COMBINING THIS WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED TSRA SHUD ALSO INCREASE THIS AFTN MAINLY OVR THE WESTERN FA WHERE THE CAP HAD ALREADY WEAKENED. AS THE ACTIVITY AND VORT MAX MOVES EAST INTO INCREASINGLY HIER DEW POINTS AND WITH LOW LVL WINDS VEERING WITH HGHTS SOME OF THE STORMS SHUD BECOME STRONG IF NOT SEVERE. ALSO THE HIGHEST 7H/THTE VALUES WERE FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN THIRD OF THE CWA AND HEAVY RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE. 7H/RELH REMAIN HIGH OVR THE EASTERN FA TONIGHT WHERE THE 5H/VORT MAX DRIFTS INTO AND I BELIEVE TSRA/SHRA WILL CONT OVER THIS AREA. FOR TOMORROW 850/TMPS INCREASE SLIGHTLY AND AFTN TMPS MAY BE A COUPLE OF DEGREES HIER TUE THAN MON. IT APPEARS A DRY LINE DEVELOPS OVER OUR WESTERN CWA AND MOVES RAPIDLY EASTWARD WHERE FORECAST CAPE VALUES WERE OVER 2500J/KG OVER THE E FA. ALSO ANOTHER BUT WEAKER 5H/VORT MAX DRIFTS JUST N OF THE FA DURING THE AFTN AND ANOTHER ROUND OF CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY IS POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY OVER THE E FA WHERE VGP VALUES INCREASE TO .275. A SUBTLE WIND SHIFT TO THE NE MAY INDICATE ANOTHER WEAK COOL FRONT DRIFTS ACRS THE N FA TEMPORARILY THEN RETREATS NORTHWARD AGAIN ON SE WINDS BY WED AFTN. 5H/HI REBUILDS JUST TO OUR SW AND AFTN TMPS SHUD RISE ONCE AGAIN WELL INTO THE 90S. THE ETA WAS SHOWING A DECREASE IN LOW LVL MOISTR BUT ON SE SFC WINDS I EXPECT THIS IS UNDER-DOING IT A ISOLD/WDLY TSRA ARE POSSIBLE MAINLY OVER THE WESTERN 2/3RDS OF THE FA. IN THE EXTENDED 5H/HI CONTS TO STRENGTHEN TO 596 DAM AND WAS JUST TO OUR SW. AND IF THIS HOLDS TRUE AFTN TMPS WILL RISE TO AROUND THE CENTURY MARK OR ABOVE WITH DRY CONDITIONS PREVAILING INTO THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEKEND. .GLD...NONE. VP
