AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
302 AM MDT SAT SEP 23 2006

.DISCUSSION...MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS ARE WIND...POSSIBILITY OF
PRECIPITATION AND TEMPERATURES IN THE SHORT TERM.

WITH GOOD INITIALIZATION AND SHORT TERM PERFORMANCE OF THE LATEST
NAM...HAVE GONE MAINLY TOWARDS A NAM SOLUTION IN THE SHORT TERM.
GFS TEMPERATURES ARE TOO WARM TODAY GIVEN THE GOOD MOISTURE IN THE
COLUMN BELOW 500MB LEADING TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES TODAY. WITH
LIMITED BOUNDARY LAYER MIXING EXPECTED TO OCCUR WITH THE COOL
TEMPERATURES AND LIMITED SUBSIDENCE BEHIND THE UPPER WAVE...EXPECT
BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS TO STAY BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA TODAY.

FEEL GOING FORECAST HAS A GOOD HANDLE ON THE SHORT TERM
PRECIPITATION WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS IN THE NORTH AND ONLY A
SLIGHT CHANCE ELSEWHERE ACROSS THE TRI-STATE REGION THROUGH THIS
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. WILL MAKE ONLY MINOR CHANGES TO
PRECIPITATION ELEMENTS IN THE SHORT TERM AS UPPER LEVEL ENERGY
SWINGS THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
CONTINUES EAST ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS WITH A SECONDARY COOL
SURGE KEEPING TEMPERATURES MAINLY IN THE 50S.

THE UPPER RIDGE MOVES EAST OF THE ROCKIES SUNDAY AND MONDAY AS IT
FLATTENS SOMEWHAT KEEPING THE TRI-STATE REGION IN NORTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT. HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS AT THE SURFACE. ANOTHER UPPER TROUGH
AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW MOVE EAST OF THE ROCKIES AND ACROSS THE
NORTHERN PLAINS MID WEEK IN THE NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. THIS WILL
BRING A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS TO THE TRI-STATE REGION AS THE
SURFACE TROUGH MOVES THROUGH THE REGION. AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM DRY
CONDITIONS ARE ANTICIPATED WITH TEMPERATURES WARMING TO ABOVE NORMAL
VALUES ON TUESDAY...FOLLOWED BY BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES ON
WEDNESDAY WITH NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND DRY CONDITIONS FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE WEEK.
