AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
223 PM MDT SUN JUL 9 2006

.DISCUSSION...16Z WATER VAPOR IMAGERY INDICATED SHORT WAVE TROUGH
LIFTING NORTH ACROSS NORTHERN NEW MEXICO. SYSTEM THAT WAS OVER THE
FOUR CORNERS YESTERDAY HAS WAS ENTERING THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE...BUT
WAS RATHER POORLY DEFINED. MODELS INITIALIZED REASONABLY WELL...BUT
PREFERRED NAMS SLIGHTLY MORE DEFINED H5 TROUGH OVER COLORADO. NONE OF
THE SHORT RANGE MODELS HAVE BEEN DOING WELL WITH MORNING
ACTIVITY...AND ARE ALL MUCH TO FAR SOUTH WHEN COMPARED TO RADAR
MOSAICS...WITH THE NGM ACTUALLY DOING THE BEST WITH MORNING ACTIVITY.

WITH SUCH WEAK FORCING AND POORLY DEFINED FEATURES...HARD TO REALLY
PICK ANY MODEL THATS DOING A GREAT JOB ATTM...HOWEVER GFS HAS A
RATHER DIFFERENT LOOK WITH ITS HANDLING OF MONDAY TUESDAY SYSTEM
THAN ITS LAST FEW RUNS...WITH THE NAM COMING MORE IN LINE WITH
YESTERDAYS PREFERRED SOLUTION...SO WILL LEAN MORE IN THIS DIRECTION
WITH THE FORECAST.

TONIGHT...PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERN WILL ONCE AGAIN CENTER AROUND
PRECIPITATION CHANCES. CONVECTION ALREADY BEGINNING TO DEVELOP ACROSS
SOUTHWEST CWA AS SFC HEATING HAS ALLOWED THE SURFACE TO REACH
CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURES.  WEAK CONVERGENCE BOUNDARY DRAPED ACROSS
THIS AREA STRETCHING EAST BACK TO KHLC. BOUNDARY WILL SLOWLY LIFT
NORTH IN RESPONSE TO APPROACHING H5 TROUGH AND THINK THIS WILL BE THE
MAIN FOCUS FOR CONVECTION EARLY. H7 DEFORMATION/CONVERGENCE FIELD
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE AREA OVERNIGHT AIDED BY A BROAD AREA
OF ISENTROPIC ASCENT. THINK WE WILL SEE SFC BASED THUNDERSTORMS
EARLY ALONG THE BOUNDARY AS IT LIFTS NORTH...AND THEN MORE ELEVATED
CONVECTION DEVELOPING NEAR THE H7 DEFORMATION ZONE OVERNIGHT. STORM
MOTIONS FASTER THAN PREVIOUS DAYS...BUT WITH HIGH PWS HEAVY RAIN
STILL A THREAT AND WILL KEEP FLOOD WATCH GOING. RADAR ESTIMATES
APPEAR PRETTY ACCURATE LAST NIGHT ACROSS KIT CARSON COUNTY WITH A FEW
AREAS OF OVER 2 INCHES. WITH MORE SLOW MOVING THUNDERSTORMS MOVING
INTO THE AREA...AM GOING TO EXPAND THE FLOOD WATCH TO INCLUDE KIT
CARSON COUNTY. FARTHER EAST...AREA OF HEAVY RAIN HAS ALREADY FALLEN
IN NORTHERN GOVE COUNTY...SO FLASH FLOOD THREAT WILL EXIST IN THIS
AREA AS WELL. HOWEVER HEAVY RAIN FELL IN VERY SMALL AREA AND
SURROUNDING AREA FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE GREATER THAN TWO INCHES SO
WILL HOLD OF AN WATCH AT THE MOMENT.

MONDAY-TUESDAY...H7 TROUGH/DEFORMATION ZONE WILL BE LIFTING NORTH
OUT OF THE CWA DURING THE MORNING HOURS. DESPITE THE WEAK SUBSIDENCE
BEHIND THIS SYSTEM...SOUNDINGS SHOW NOT MUCH HEATING IS NEEDED IN
ORDER TO REACH CONVECTIVE TEMPS. WITH THE TREND OF THE LAST FEW
DAYS...HARD TO REALLY FINE TUNE POPS MUCH AND HAVE BROAD BRUSHED
CHANCE POPS FOR THE MOST PART. STRONGER SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL EJECT
ACROSS THE AREA IN THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING AND THINK
THE MOST WIDE SPREAD CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION WILL BE MONDAY NIGHT.
TROUGH IS STILL LINGERING AROUND THE AREA ON TUESDAY SO WILL HOLD ON
TO SOME POPS EARLY BEFORE SUBSIDENCE AND CLEARING SETS IN.

IN THE EXTENDED...MODELS ARE CONTINUING THERE RECENT TREND OF
BUILDING STRONG RIDGE ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS. THIS REMAINS IN
LINE WITH CURRENT FORECAST WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO BE HOT AND DRY.
LOOKS LIKE WE MAY HAVE SEVERAL DAYS IN THE UPPER 90S TO LOW 100S
ESPECIALLY THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. MODELS HINTING AT WEAK TROUGH
PASSING THROUGH THE RIDGE ON FRIDAY/SATURDAY. HOWEVER WITH SUCH A
WEAK FEATURE AT THAT TIME RANGE...CONFIDENCE TO LOW TO MENTION ANY
PRECIP ATTM.

.GLD WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
KS...NONE.
NE...NONE.
CO...FLASH FLOOD WATCH FROM THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH THIS EVENING FOR
     COZ091-092.
