AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
250 PM MDT WED AUG 22 2007

.DISCUSSION...SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY FOLLOWED BY
NORTHWEST FLOW FRIDAY NIGHT AS THE RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE ROCKIES
SATURDAY. SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE INTO NORTHWEST KANSAS LATE
TONIGHT. A SLOW MOVING FRONT SHOULD MAKE IT INTO THE NORTHERN ZONES
THURSDAY MORNING RESIDE SOMEWHERE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THURSDAY
NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS SOUTH ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
FRIDAY/FRIDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUES SATURDAY.

THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERN IS POPS.

FOR TONIGHT...THE TROUGH AND FRONT REMAINS TO BE THE FOCUS FOR
THE HIGHEST POPS. PLAN TO GO WITH LIKELY POPS IN THOSE AREAS WHICH
COMPRISE THE NORTHWEST HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA. THE SOUTHEAST HALF
WILL HAVE CHANCE POPS DUE TO HIGH CIN VALUES WHICH WILL HAVE
DIFFICULTY BEING OVERCOME. FURTHERMORE THE TROUGH WILL MAKE LITTLE
PROGRESS TO THE SOUTHEAST. THE TROUGH AND FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO BE
THE FAVORED AREAS FOR HIGHEST POPS ON THURSDAY BUT FOR NOW WILL GO
WITH CHANCE POPS AND SLIGHT CHANCE BETWEEN THE BOUNDARIES WHERE CIN
WILL BE AROUND 120. THURSDAY NIGHT THE FRONT PUSHES SOUTH WITH MORE
SHORTWAVE ENERGY MOVING THROUGH THE FLOW. PLAN TO KEEP HIGH CHANCE
AND LIKELY POPS BUT MODIFY THE AREAS IN THE GRIDS. ON FRIDAY...THE
FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA WITH BEST CHANCES IN THE
MORNING. BY AFTERNOON THE FRONT SHOULD BE SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA
WITH DECREASING MOISTURE/INSTABILITY. CONSEQUENTLY WILL FOLLOW A
DECREASING TREND FROM CHANCE TO SLIGHT CHANCE POPS AS THE DAY
PROGRESSES. BY FRIDAY NIGHT...LACK OF MOISTURE AND SUBSIDENCE WILL
KEEP POPS NIL. NIL POPS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT AS HIGH
PRESSURE WILL DOMINATE BOTH AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT.

IN THE EXTENDED...A RIDGE WILL BE OVER THE ROCKIES SUNDAY AND MONDAY
AND FLATTEN SOME OVER THE PLAINS ON TUESDAY. THE RIDGE WILL START
REBUILDING WEST OF THE ROCKIES ON WEDNESDAY. A SURFACE TROUGH WILL
BE IN THE AREA SUNDAY/MONDAY. MOISTURE APPEARS TO BE LIMITED ON
SUNDAY BUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE ON MONDAY SO WILL PUT IN SLIGHT
CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA FOR MONDAY AFTERNOON/NIGHT.  ON
TUESDAY A FRONT WILL MOVE SLOWLY SOUTH ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. A
SHORTWAVE COMBINED WITH ADEQUATE MOISTURE WILL WORK FOR AT LEAST
SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ON TUESDAY/TUESDAY NIGHT. SHOWERS MAY LINGER IN
THE EAST WEDNESDAY MORNING AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN. LATER
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON SOME UPSLOPE MAY FIRE SOME STORMS OVER THE
HIGHER TERRAIN OF COLORADO WHICH MAY DRIFT EAST INTO WESTERN
PORTIONS OF EASTERN COLORADO ZONES. MAX TEMPERATURES WILL COOL FROM
THE THE UPPER 80S/LOWER 90S DOWN TO THE LOWER TO MID 80S BY
WEDNESDAY. MIN TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER 50S WEST TO
THE MID 60S EAST.

&&

.AVIATION...IFR CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE THE REST OF THIS
AFTERNOON AND INTO THIS EVENING UNTIL AROUND 05Z AS THUNDERSTORMS
DEVELOP AND MOVE EAST. MVFR CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED WITH
THUNDERSTORMS WITH SOME LOCAL IFR POSSIBLE NEAR ANY SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS PRODUCING LARGE HAIL. GUSTY WIND TO 50+KTS WILL BE
POSSIBLE NEAR STORMS. OTHERWISE IFR CONDITIONS WILL RESUME FOR THE
REST OF THE NIGHT AND THURSDAY MORNING.
