AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
1124 AM MDT WED JUL 29 2009

.DISCUSSION...
237 AM MDT WED JUL 29 2009

THE 08Z SURFACE ANALYSIS PLACES HIGH PRESSURE OVER
KANSAS/NEBRASKA. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A SHORTWAVE IN NORTHEAST COLORADO
APPARENTLY TRIGGERING ONGOING CONVECTION. AN UPPER TROUGH CAN ALSO
BE SEEN MOVING SOUTH OVER MONTANA.

NORTHWEST FLOW CONTINUES THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. AT THE SURFACE...A
WEAK TROUGH WILL BE OVER NORTHWEST KANSAS TODAY. TONIGHT A FRONT
WILL MOVE SOUTH ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD
INTO THE AREA ON THURSDAY. ANOTHER WEAK TROUGH WILL MOVE INTO THE
TRI-STATE AREA ON FRIDAY.

FOR TODAY...SHORTWAVE COMING THROUGH THE FLOW SHOULD KEEP
THUNDERSTORMS GOING WITH MORE NUMEROUS STORMS IN THE AFTERNOON AS
INSTABILITY INCREASES AND THE FRONT MOVES INTO THE FORECAST AREA. PLAN
TO KEEP HIGH CHANCE POPS.

FOR THIS EVENING THERE WILL BE A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS IN THE
SOUTHEAST ZONES. LATER TONIGHT SUBSIDENCE MOVES IN BY 06Z THU BEHIND
THE EXITING WAVE. CONSEQUENTLY HAVE PULLED POPS FOR THAT PART OF THE
PERIOD.

THU/THU NIGHT...ANOTHER SHORTWAVE COMES THROUGH NORTHWEST FLOW BUT
850-700MB MOISTURE IS LACKING. THERE COULD BE SOME ACTIVITY OVER THE
HIGHER TERRAIN IN COLORADO DUE TO UPSLOPE BUT SHOULD BE WEST OF THE
FORECAST AREA. INSTABILITY IS LACKING SO THAT ANYTHING THAT MIGHT
DEVELOP WOULD BE SHOWERY IN NATURE. CONSEQUENTLY WILL LEAVE THESE
PERIODS WITH NIL POPS.

FRI/FRI NIGHT...SUBSIDENCE IS STILL OVER THE AREA DURING THE MORNING
BUT BY AFTERNOON A SHORTWAVE IS COMING ACROSS THE ROCKIES. THERE IS
DECENT UPWARD VERTICAL VELOCITIES AND INSTABILITY SO THAT
THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD DEVELOP AND MOVE EAST INTO THE FORECAST AREA
DURING THE AFTERNOON AND NIGHT.  SLIGHT CHANCE POPS LOOK GOOD FOR
THESE PERIODS.

TEMPERATURES WILL STAY BELOW NORMAL THROUGH THU AND THEN WARM BACK
TO NORMAL READING ON FRIDAY. CLOUDS...PRECIPITATION AND A FRONT WILL
HELP KEEP TEMPERATURES COOL. OVERALL OPTED FOR THE COOLER MET
GUIDANCE FOR MAX TEMPERATURES AND MAV GUIDANCE FOR MIN TEMPERATURES.

FOR THE 18Z TAF CYCLE...WIDELY SCATTERED CONVECTION WILL POP UP
ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE AFTERNOON ASSOCIATED WITH SHORTWAVE
TROUGH MOVING THROUGH THE NORTHERN PLAINS. ATMOSPHERE FAIRLY WORKED
OVER AFTER MORNING CONVECTION...BUT WEAK INSTABILITY PERSISTS AND
SHOULD BE ENOUGH FOR AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM. WILL CARRY VICINITY
SHOWERS BASED ON THE RATHER SPARSE COVERAGE ON CURRENT RADAR AND
UPSTREAM OBSERVATIONS. ACTIVITY WILL DIMINISH NEAR SUNSET WITH LOSS
OF HEATING.
