AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
118 PM MDT WED MAR 28 2007
.DISCUSSION...
SPRAWLING UPPER LOW WILL DOMINATE THE SHORT TERM FORECAST PERIOD. IT
WILL BE A VERY SLOW MOVING SYSTEM. IN THAT REGARD THE GFS AND EC
WILL BE THE PREFERRED MODEL SOLUTIONS. WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION WILL
DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT ALONG/AHEAD OF PACIFIC FRONT.
VERY DIFFLUENT FLOW ALOFT AHEAD OF CLOSED LOW WILL SUPPORT LONG
LIVED CONVECTION. IN ADDITION...DEEP LAYER FLOW WILL BE NEARLY
PARALLEL TO SURFACE FRONT/EXPECTED STORM MOTION...SUGGESTING
TRAINING CELLS A POSSIBILITY. MODEL QPF THROUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON
SUPPORTS WIDESPREAD 1 PLUS AMOUNTS IN EASTERN CWA...BUT LOCALLY
HIGHER AMOUNTS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE. FLASH FLOOD WATCH HOISTED TO
COVER THIS SCENARIO.
SHOULD SEE A BREAK IN PRECIPITATION LATE THURSDAY AFTERNOON INTO
THURSDAY NIGHT UNDER THE DRY SLOT. IN FACT...IF EC AND GFS ARE RIGHT
DRY SLOT WILL CONTINUE INTO FRIDAY AS SECONDARY VORT LOBE TRACKS
WELL SOUTH AND KEEPS THE AREA DRY. NONETHELESS...WILL CARRY SOME
SLIGHT AND LOW CHANCE POPS FOR SNOW THURSDAY NIGHT IN FAR WESTERN
AREAS WHERE WRAPAROUND PRECIP MAY MIGRATE OUT OF CENTRAL COLORADO.
BY SATURDAY SYSTEM WILL BE LIFTING OUT INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST WITH
DRY WESTERLY FLOW/SUBSIDENCE OVER THE AREA.
LONG TERM (SUNDAY - WEDNESDAY)...MODELS SHOW FAST ZONAL FLOW OVER
THE FORECAST AREA BEHIND DEPARTING UPPER SYSTEM. ONLY SHORTWAVE
TROUGH OF NOTE APPEARS TO STAY WELL NORTH OF THE AREA SUNDAY NIGHT
AND MONDAY. IT WILL PUSH A COLD FRONT THROUGH WITH TEMPERATURES
COOLING FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK. OTHER WEAK VORTICITY MAXES WILL BE
EJECTING OUT OF THE ROCKIES ON A REGULAR BASIS...BUT AT THIS POINT
THEY LOOK TO BE LACKING MOISTURE FOR PRECIPITATION. WILL FOLLOW HPC
GUIDANCE FOR ALL MAJOR WEATHER PARAMETERS THIS PERIOD.
