AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
249 PM MDT MON JUN 9 2008

.DISCUSSION...
250 PM MDT MON JUN 9 2008

HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT WILL GIVE WAY TO A WARMER AND DRIER DAY ACROSS
THE TRI-STATE AREA TUESDAY. AT THE SURFACE...A LEE TROUGH DEVELOPS OVER
EASTERN COLORADO AND STRENGTHENS AS IT MOVES EAST THROUGH TUESDAY
AFTERNOON. SOUTH WINDS WILL INCREASE IN RESPONSE TO THE SFC TROUGH
WITH A STRONG LLJ OVER HEAD BY TUESDAY NIGHT. THE SOUTHERLY WINDS
WILL ADVECT WARMER AND DRIER AIR INTO THE REGION. WENT AHEAD AND
ISSUED A RED FLAG WARNING FOR THE FAR WESTERN ZONES AS WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO BE FROM 15 TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS NEAR 35 MPH...WHILE RH
VALUES WILL DROP BELOW 15 PERCENT. THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT CHANCE
FOR THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CWA AS THE WINDS
ARE MORE OUT OF THE SOUTHEAST BRINGING IN ENOUGH MOISTURE TO
GENERATE SOME HIGH BASED THUNDERSTORMS. THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE
CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING.

LATER INTO TUESDAY EVENING...WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE AS
850 MB WINDS INCREASE TO 50 KTS AND 700 MB WINDS OVER 60 KTS. THE
QUESTION IS OF HOW MUCH THESE WINDS WILL MIX DOWN TO THE SURFACE.
WILL NEED TO CONTINUE WATCHING WINDS FOR TUESDAY NIGHT IN CASE A
WIND ADVISORY WILL BE NEEDED. WINDS WILL PROMPTLY DECREASE BY
EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING AS A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA.
MAX TEMPERATURES WEDNESDAY WILL BE COMPARABLY COOLER ACROSS THE
NORTHWEST PORTION OF THE CWA WITH MAX TEMPS ONLY REACHING INTO THE
UPPER 70S/LOW 80S. COLD FRONT WILL STALL OVER THE SOUTHERN
PORTION OF THE CWA AND THEN RETURN AS A WARM FRONT THROUGH
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON KEEPING THE REST OF THE FORECAST AREA WARM
INTO THE MID 80S TO LOW 90S. BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT THE WARM FRONT
STALLS THEN SURGES SOUTH AS A COLD FRONT AGAIN. MAY SEE ANOTHER
ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING.

THURSDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND WILL BE MUCH QUIETER AS HIGH PRESSURE
MOVES OVERHEAD. TEMPERATURES WILL SLOWLY WARM FROM THE LOW/MID
80S TO LOW 90S THROUGH SUNDAY. WINDS WILL REMAIN LIGHT THROUGH
THE PERIOD WITH NO PRECIPITATION CURRENTLY IN THE FORECAST.
