Severe Thunderstorm Warning 24, NWS Goodland, KS

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
200 PM MDT FRI MAY 6 2005

.DISCUSSION...THE FORECAST CONCERNS WILL BE THUNDERSTORM CHANCES AND
WINDY CONDITIONS TONIGHT AND SATURDAY AS A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES EJECT
NORTHEAST AROUND SOUTHWEST MID/UPPER TROUGH.

BUOYANCY HAS INCREASED TODAY AS ADVERTISED OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS
WITH ONE SHORT WAVE MOVING OVER THE AREA AT THIS TIME WITH
ADDITIONAL ENERGY MOVING INTO NEW MEXICO/SOUTHWEST COLORADO THIS
AFTERNOON. EXPECT DEEP MOIST CONVECTION OUT WEST/SOUTHWEST WITH A
GRADUAL PROGRESSION EAST/NORTHEASTWARD TOWARD THE TRI-STATE AREA THIS
EVENING. 0-6 KM MEAN WIND WOULD FAVOR THE NORTHWEST ZONES FOR
HIGHEST POPS TAPERING TO ONLY SLIGHT CHANCE IN THE SOUTHEAST. WILL
ADJUST POPS BASED ON THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT PRIOR TO ISSUANCE.
PLAN TO LEAN TOWARDS THE WARMER MET GUIDANCE FOR LOWS WITH EXPECTED
CLOUDS/WIND/MIXING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ADVECTION. THE ACTIVITY MAY
DEVELOP INTO AN MCS OVERNIGHT ACROSS SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA WHICH MAY
IMPACT OUR NORTHERN ZONES.

SATURDAY/SATURDAY NIGHT...LITTLE CHANGES EXPECTED FROM PREVIOUS
THINKING AS DRY LINE SETS UP ACROSS THE EASTERN ZONES WITH THE
AIRMASS BECOMING MODERATELY UNSTABLE ALONG/EAST OF THE DRY LINE BY
AFTERNOON. KEPT A SLIGHT CHANCE/CHANCE MENTION ACROSS THE FAR
EASTERN ZONES AS CLOSED 500 MB LOW EMERGES NORTH OF THE AREA OVER
EASTERN WYOMING/NORTHWEST NEBRASKA LATE IN THE DAY AND SOME SHORT
WAVE ENERGY ROTATES AROUND THE 500 MB CIRCULATION. ENDED POPS EARLY
SATURDAY EVENING AS MID LEVEL DRYING SHOULD INHIBIT DEEP MOIST
CONVECTION ACROSS THE TRI-STATE AREA.

SUNDAY/SUNDAY NIGHT...KEPT A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS ACROSS MUCH OF
THE AREA SUNDAY AFTERNOON AS A WEAK BOUNDARY PUSHES INTO THE
NORTHWEST ZONES AND SOME MID/UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE GETS WRAPPED
AROUND THE MAIN CIRCULATION ACROSS NORTHERN NEBRASKA. THE FORECAST
COLUMN REMAINS RATHER DRY WITH LOW CONFIDENCE IN ANY MEASURABLE
PRECIPITATION.

MID LEVEL RIDGING WILL DEVELOP OVER THE ROCKIES AHEAD OF THE NEXT
SYSTEM ON MONDAY WITH A DRY DAY/TEMPERATURES NEAR NORMAL WITH HIGHS
IN THE LOWER 70S. EXPECT LEE TROUGH TO DEVELOP LATE IN THE PERIOD AS
SOUTHWEST FLOW STRENGTHENS AHEAD OF THE NEXT SYSTEM.

DAYS 4 THROUGH 7...ANOTHER TROUGH WILL MOVE INTO THE GREAT BASIN
AREA ON TUESDAY AND CONTINUE EASTWARD THROUGH FRIDAY. SURFACE
CYCLOGENESIS AROUND THE KANSAS./COLORADO BORDER WITH DIURNAL CHANCES
FOR THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH MUCH OF THE EXTENDED PERIODS. BLANKETED
THE AREA WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE MENTION WED-FRI FOR NOW AND DEAL WITH
TIMING ISSUES LATER.
