AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
228 PM MDT WED MAY 21 2008

.DISCUSSION...
228 PM MDT WED MAY 21 2008

FORECAST PROBLEMS ARE NUMEROUS THROUGH THE SHORT TERM VERY WINDY
CONDITIONS AND SEVERE WEATHER AT THE TOP OF THE LIST. SATELLITE
CONTINUING TO SHOW THE AMPLIFICATION PROCESS WELL UNDERWAY FROM THE
CENTRAL PACIFIC INTO THE WESTERN ATLANTIC. THEREFORE EXPECT SLOW IF
ANY CHANGE IN THE FLOW PATTERN.

TONIGHT/THURSDAY...WILL LET CURRENT WIND ADVISORY GO UNTIL 02Z.
THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEGUN TO FORM ALONG DRY LINE AND INCOMING
SHORTWAVE WILL GO WITH FAIRLY HIGH POPS AHEAD OF THIS. FOR THURSDAY
SETUP IS LOOKING THE SAME FOR STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE
NORTHEAST HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA. USED THE ECMWF/NAM FOR DIVIDING
LINE BETWEEN VERY DRY AND MOIST AIR. TO THE WEST OF THIS LINE WILL
BE THE RED FLAG WARNING AND WIND HIGHLIGHTS. MODELS GIVING
CONSISTENT NUMBERS HIGH WIND WARNING CRITERIA IN COLORADO. WILL PUT
A HIGH END WIND ADVISORY JUST TO THE EAST OF THE AIR. BIG GRADIENT
ON TEMPERATURES FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST.

THURSDAY NIGHT/FRIDAY...STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE
INTO THE EVENING. FRIDAY HAS A SIMILAR SETUP TO TODAY EXCEPT STORMS
MAY GET GOING A LITTLE FURTHER EAST THAN TODAY. WILL HIT POPS
ACCORDINGLY. ALSO GUIDANCE WOULD SUGGEST ANOTHER WIND HIGHLIGHT AS
WELL.

FRIDAY NIGHT/SATURDAY...THUNDERSTORMS END WITH GREATER COVERAGE
NORTHEAST DURING THE NIGHT. FOR SATURDAY...BEST OF THE MID LEVEL
PARAMETERS DO NOT LINE UP WITH THE LOW LEVELS. DRY LINE IS VERY CLOSE
TO THE EASTERN END OF THE AREA IF IT IS CORRECT. PUT IN LOW CHANCE
POPS...WITH GREATEST CHANCE EAST...TO COVER UNCERTAINTY.

SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...MODEL GUIDANCE PRETTY MUCH IN
AGREEMENT. PRETTY MUCH SIDED WITH THE ECMWF SINCE IT HAS BEEN THE
MOST CONSISTENT. HARD TO PIN DOWN THUNDRSTORM CHANCES/LOCATIONS
SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY WITH MID LEVEL MOISTURE AND LIFT OUT OF PHASE
WITH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND CONVERGENCE. BEST MID LEVEL/UPPER LIFT
IS WEST BUT HAVE DRIER LOW LEVEL AIR MASS WITH DRY MID LEVELS EAST.
PRETTY MUCH KEPT SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE ON SATURDAY AND SATURDAY
NIGHT. INITIAL FOCUS ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON WILL BE OVER THE SOUTHWEST
BUT PARAMETERS IMPROVE THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT INCREASED LIFT WITH
FRONT AND SHORTWAVE TROUGH. MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT LOOKS
INTERESTING WITH POST FRONTAL UPSLOPE REGIME OVER THE AREA WITH
SHORTWAVE ENERGY COMING OVER THE TOP. BROADBRUSHED CHANCES THIS
PERIOD. WENT ABOVE GUIDANCE FOR MAXES SUNDAY WITH GOOD WARM AIR
ADVECTION IN ADVANCE OF THE FRONT AND BELOW GUIDANCE ON MONDAY WITH
CLOUDS AND UPSLOPE WINDS.

BULLER

TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...RIDGE FORECAST TO AMPLIFY OVER THE CENTRAL
PLAINS TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AHEAD OF SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING ACROSS
THE GREAT BASIN. ALTHOUGH SHORTWAVE ENERGY BY EJECT AHEAD OF THE
MAIN DISTURBANCE...TIMING THEM VERY DIFFICULT AT THAT TIME RANGE. SO
WILL KEEP POPS IN THE 10 TO 20 RANGE. HEDGED TOWARDS WARMER GUIDANCE
UNDER THE RIDGE.

THANKS TO ALL FOR COLLABORATION.

.AVIATION...
1152 AM MDT WED MAY 21 2008

FOR THE 18Z TAFS...VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH 12Z AT KGLD
AND KMCK WITH STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS (20-40 KNOTS) AND CIRRUS
EXPECTED THROUGH MOST OF THE PERIOD. KGLD MAY SEE SOME THUNDERSTORMS
IN THE VICINITY AFTER 22Z. AFTER 12Z LOW LEVEL CLOUDS MOVE IN TO THE
KMCK TERMINAL AND BRING CONDITIONS DOWN TO MVFR...THESE LOW CLOUDS
WILL REMAIN THROUGH MOST OF THE MORNING.
